SUMMARY: The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the principal administrative report, documenting the City's expenditures for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For FY 2007-2008 the City's budget was as follows: $965,053 in CDBG; $538,355 in HOME; and $160,000 in program income for a total budget of $1,663,408. The CAPER document serves as the basis for program monitoring for compliance and for financial audits for all activities conducted during the FY 2007-08 as outlined in the Consolidated Plan for that program year. The report provides HUD with necessary information for the Department to meet its requirement to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant Community Planning and Development programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. It also provides information necessary for HUD's Annual Report to Congress and it provides grantees and opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in revitalizing deteriorated neighborhoods and in meeting objectives stipulated in their Consolidated Planning document. In addition to reporting on our activities with federal money, we also included a summary of activities conducted with the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program in the narrative section; however, these numbers are not included in the totals below. Through the CDBG and HOME program activities, we expended a total of $2,829,609 in FY 07-08. This included prior year funds as well as program income and recaptured funds. Those funds not expended from this year's budget will be reprogrammed in future budgets. The City of Clearwater FY 2007-08 CAPER contains information on the City's assessment of the activities listed below: Executive Summary Assessment Of The One Year Goals And Objectives Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Leveraging Resources Continuum Of Care Narrative Citizen Participation Other Actions Housing HOME Program Other Housing Programs Community Development Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas Cover Memo Item # 5 Housing Opportunities For People With AIDS (HOPWA) Through the programs covered under the CAPER, over 15,876 persons were assisted through Public Services, Public Facilities, Housing Rehabilitation and New Construction, Fair Housing, and Economic Development projects.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overall purpose of the community planning and development programs as stated in Section 91 of the Housing and Community Development Act, as amended, with programs funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME Investment Partnership Program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for low to moderate-income persons. The primary means toward this end is to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for profit and non-profit organizations, in the production and operation of affordable housing. The main purpose of these programs is to provide decent housing. Decent housing includes assisting homeless individuals and families, retaining the existing housing stock by rehabilitating existing housing units and increasing the availability of permanent affordable housing by building new affordable rental and owner-occupied units and providing down payment assistance. The second purpose includes increasing public services and public facilities to improve the safety and livability of neighborhoods as a suitable living environment. The third purpose is to expand economic opportunities to low to moderate-income individuals by creating or retaining jobs or creating and/or expanding businesses in low to moderate-income neighborhoods. The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the principal administrative report to document how effective the City has been in expending CDBG and HOME funds to meet the objectives listed above. It serves as the basis for program monitoring for compliance and for financial audits. It provides HUD with necessary information for the Department to meet its requirement to assess each grantee's ability to carry out relevant Community Planning Development (CPD) programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. It provides information necessary for HUD's Annual Report to the U. S. Congress and provides grantees an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in revitalization deteriorated neighborhoods and meeting objectives stipulated in our Consolidated Plan. The City's FY 2007-08 CAPER contains information on the City's assessment of activities as they relate to the five-year goals and objectives, affirmatively furthering fair housing, affordable housing, continuum of care, leveraging resources, citizen participation, and self-evaluation. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 2 of 33 2. ASSESSMENT OF THE ONE YEAR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In August 2005, the City of Clearwater City Council approved the FY 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan for funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP). In September 2005, the City's Consolidated Plan was approved by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Five-Year Consolidated Plan includes two (2) key activities; provide decent, safe, and affordable housing and increase public services and facilities to improve the safety of the neighborhoods. The City's Mission is to assist residents in achieving self-sufficiency through decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities. The goals for community development include promoting community self investment in low/moderate-income areas, providing facilities/services to address critical social services needs, providing facilities/services for seniors, children and persons with special needs, and expanding economic opportunities. The goals for housing and the homeless include revitalizing older housing and demolishing unsafe structures, producing high-quality affordable housing, providing housing assistance, and providing services/housing for the homeless. The City of Clearwater implemented three (3) basic strategies for assisting in the provision of decent, safe and affordable housing. The strategies consist of: 1. Homeowner rehabilitation - which include emergency repairs and disabled retrofitting 2. Down payment and closing cost assistance for homebuyers 3. Acquisition/rehabilitation/new construction To preserve the existing housing stock, the city proposes to rehabilitate 100 units owned by low-income households. The City will preserve the housing stock by funding the acquisition and rehabilitation of 50 existing units for new low-income owner households over the five year period. To encourage new homebuyers, the City will provide direct down payment/closing cost assistance to 100 low and moderate-income homebuyers. The City has proposed to construct 20 new affordable, for sale, infill housing units to support the city's ongoing revitalization/redevelopment efforts. To encourage participation in the city's homebuyer's activities, the City will provide credit counseling and homeownership training assistance to 100 prospective low- income homebuyers. During the FY 2007-08 funding year, the City implemented its Housing Pool. Primarily SHIP and HOME monies fund the Pool and are used for down payment and closing cost assistance, lot acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction. For larger developments, a non-profit and/or for-profit may be allocated funds in a line of credit format. This allows for the development of small infill projects, as well as the acquisition of several single existing units for rehabilitation and resale. Clearwater's Economic Development and Housing Department - Housing Division oversees the activities of its subrecipient participants and administers the City's Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 3 of 33 rehabilitation and emergency repair program using CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds. The Housing Pool participants submit a client case for approval for down payment and/or closing cost assistance. Once approved, the City encumbers those funds. Upon home closing, the Housing Pool participant will request reimbursement of the funds they expended and their loan processing fee(s). The loan processing fee(s) are not funded until we review the client file and have determined that all necessary documentation has been obtained to verify household income and assets and to substantiate any rehabilitation that may have been done on the home that was purchased. The City made available a total of $1,620,469 (program income and annual entitlement) for housing related activities in the Housing Pool during this reporting period. This amount is comprised of $38,3,767 in HOME funds, $940,726 in SHIP funds, and $295,976 in CDBG funds. The Housing Pool continues to be one of the most effective ways for our housing partners to access funding for income eligible clients. The City has identified five (5) general strategies to provide affordable housing over the Consolidated Plan period. They are to provide decent, adequate and affordable housing in safe and desirable environments for renters, homeowners, homebuyers, homeless and non-homeless with special needs. a. Rental Strategy The strategy for rental activities includes maintaining the existing rental housing stock through rehabilitation, new construction, conversion, and providing additional funding for acquisition/rehabilitation to very-low income households to ensure that housing costs, including utilities, does not exceed 30% of their gross monthly income. The priorities listed in the current five-year strategy calls for providing decent, adequate and affordable housing in a safe and desirable community for renters. To fulfill this strategy, the City will facilitate meetings with developers and discuss potential funding for renovations of existing rental properties and/or new construction projects. In this reporting period, the City expended $375,000 in HOME Program funds and $125,000 in SHIP funds for the construction of a four-unit permanent housing apartment complex for the Homeless Emergency Project (Fairburn Apartments). The four-unit rental structure provides housing for up to 24 homeless individuals. In addition, $150,000 was provided to Kimberly Home to purchase a two-unit apartment building for low to moderate-income renters. b. Homeowner Strategy The strategies for homeownership activities are listed as follows: 1. Increase homeownership within the City of Clearwater; 2. Bring housing up to standard (and modernize when possible); 3. Remove architectural barriers; 4. Demolish units that prove economically infeasible to rehabilitate and provide relocation benefits; Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 4 of 33 5. Ensure housing costs are in the general range of 30% of household income, and; 6. Promote energy efficiency and prevent loss of homes. The five-year goal is to renovate a minimum of 100 housing units through the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program, complete 25 emergency repairs through the Emergency Repair Program, and retrofit 25 homes to make them more accessible for physically-challenged individuals through the Disabled Retrofitting Program. Twenty-eight (28%) of the housing units in Clearwater are over 30 years of age. To assist homeowners who need rehabilitation, the City offers loans through the Housing Division and through the approved housing non-profits participating in the City's Housing Pool. The loans are available to owner-occupied households with incomes that are very-low to moderate, with a priority on very-low and low-income households. During FY07-08, the City made a total of eighteen rehabilitation loans with CDBG, HOME and/or SHIP funds. Eight (8) loans were provided to low-income families and ten loans were provided to very-low income families. This activity resulted in expenditures in the amount of $459,450. In addition, the City approved a 30-year, 3 percent interest loan with five years of deferred interest to Habitat For Humanity of Pinellas County for the Stevens Creek Project in the amount of $600,000 to acquire real property that will be used to build single-family homes for low to moderate-income families. The funds will be repaid when each home is sold to an eligible homebuyer. The funding for the acquisition was provided through the Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund. The 8.81-acre property is located at 1884 Betty Lane and is the former site of Homer Villas, a rental community owned by the Clearwater Housing Authority. The property acquisition cost was $1,189,350 with the remainder of funds needed for the acquisition provided by Pinellas County. The acquisition cost of $20,158 per unit is very reasonable. After the purchase was completed, the local housing authority relocated the tenants who were residing at the complex and Habitat Pinellas demolished all of the existing structures. The City provided up to $124,000 loan to Habitat Pinellas to demolish the deteriorated structures. Habitat Pinellas proposes to build fifty single-family homes that would provide affordable housing for families whose incomes fall within 30-80% of area median income. To keep the units affordable, Habitat Pinellas will use volunteers to partner with a general contractor to perform the work. In addition to further affordability, Habitat Pinellas will provide reduced mortgages to homebuyers. By providing affordable homeownership opportunities, Habitat Pinellas hopes to improve the housing stock in the neighborhood, raise the property values, and create economic incentives for additional public and private investments in areas targeted by the City for revitalization. Building these affordable units will help the City reach its goals of providing new single family homes as identified in its Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 5 of 33 To ensure a mixed-unit development, Habitat Pinellas will work with a developer to build nine (9) units that will be available for families between 80% and 120% of area median income. Habitat Pinellas gives struggling households an opportunity for home ownership and has built 140 homes in 23 years. The units were sold with no profit and financed with zero percent interest. Habitat Pinellas has an experienced staff that has a solid history in housing development. Habitat Pinellas has met with the City's development officials for approval and the results have been favorable, although the project has not been officially approved by the City's Planning Department. The anticipated construction start date is July 2009. The units will be built in phases with project completion scheduled for February 2013. Homebuyers will be required to attend eleven mandatory classes in preparation for homeownership and contribute between 250-350 hours of sweat equity, volunteering at Habitat Pinellas in some capacity, mostly in the construction site. They will also be required to make nominal payments each month towards the closing costs for the future home. In addition to the Homer Villas project, the City approved another potential housing development in this reporting period. The City authorized a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant Program loan to SP Country Club Homes LLC to acquire vacant real property in June 2008. The Country Club Homes Housing Development Project will be located on the southeast corner of Betty Lane and Drew Street. The 2.07-acre project consists of 36 for-sale townhomes that will be composed of three-bedroom 2.5 bath units with 2 car garages. The unit sizes will range from 1,312sf to 1,468sf of air-conditioned space. The sale price of each unit will be approximately $170,000 for the "Standard" units and $180,000 for "Premium" units. The units will be sold to families with the following incomes; 19 units will be sold to families with incomes at 80% or less than the area median income and the remaining 17 units to families with incomes from 81% to 120% of AMI. For a family of four (4), the income will range from $45,200 at 80% or less of AMI and up to $67,800 at 120% of AMI. The project will include a pool, a jacuzzi and clubhouse, office and exercise room with handicap accessible bathrooms. This project includes investment of over $7.5 million in the East Gateway District located within the City's Community Redevelopment Area that will result in the development of a vacant parcel and provide improved access to high-quality affordable homeownership opportunities for families at or below 120% of area median income. The developer of the project is Southport Financial Services, Inc. Southport, its owners, officers and affiliates have developed and operated over 13,000 dwelling units and over 135 projects in 17 states. The principals of Southport have extensive experience with the development of for-sale projects. Southport's recent for-sale experience includes 21 two-family homes in Newark, New Jersey and Ewing Place, a 10-unit townhome project, located in Clearwater. It is anticipated the project will be completed in late 2009. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 6 of 33 c. Homebuyer Strategy The strategies for homebuyers include housing counseling programs that address pre-ownership issues, credit counseling, budgeting and foreclosure prevention to the very-low, low and moderate-income households. The 2008 Median Income for a family of four (4) in the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater Area is $56,500. The low- income threshold is $45,200 and the very-low income is $30,500. Other strategies include: easy access to affordable homeownership opportunities by providing larger subsidies to the very-low income credit-ready households and those purchasing homes within the City's target areas. The homebuyer strategy will also provide a means to finance the cost of rehabilitation as part of acquisition, providing additional affordable housing units to very-low and low-income households, upgrade neighborhoods and encourage activities to promote safer neighborhoods. The City offers several programs that help make housing more affordable to very-low to moderate-income homebuyers. The City's Home Ownership Program lends funds to purchase land, provide down payment assistance, pay impact fees, pay disposition costs, pay closing costs and build new homes for income eligible homebuyers. Funds in this program are also available to approved non-profit agencies financing their clients home ownership needs. Currently these agencies include: 1. Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. 2. Community Service Foundation 3. Homes for Independence 4. Habitat for Humanity 5. Largo Area Housing Development Corporation 6. Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation 7. Consumer Credit Counseling The funds will be leveraged against private sector financing to provide affordable housing. The five-year goal for homebuyers calls for assisting 100 homebuyers per year with down payment and closing cost assistance and providing 100 homebuyers with educational services in regards to purchasing a home. The City provided an allocation to Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation (TBCDC) to administer their Home Buyers Club and Homeownership Counseling Program, to Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) for budgeting and foreclosure counseling, and Community Services Foundation (CSF) to administer a Partnership to Homeownership Program and Homebuyer Education Program. In addition, the city provided funding to Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services to implement a Housing Education/Counseling Program. All of the education and counseling programs were funded through the SHIP Program on a reimbursement basis. Over 204 individuals/families took part in the education/counseling services during this reporting period. A total of 130 participated in both TBCDC Programs (Homeownership Counseling and Homebuyer Education Programs), 36 participated in Community Service Foundation's Partnership to Ownership and Homebuyer Education Programs, 32 participated through Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. Housing Education/Counseling Programs and six (6) participated Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 7 of 33 through Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Homebuyer Education Program. Additional assistance was available, but due to the downturn in the housing market less homebuyers were able to purchase homes. d. Homeless Strategy The Pinellas County Homeless Policy Group (HPG) was formed in the Fall 2004. The mission was to develop a Countywide, 10-year plan to end homelessness. This plan was a result of an 18-month research and planning process. Included in the planning process were 40 members represented by elected officials, a school board member, a Public Defender, community and business leaders from a variety of industries, including faith-based organizations, housing authorities, healthcare, law enforcement, businesses, foundations, the homeless coalition, and formerly homeless persons from the general community. Several factors were at the forefront of our research and planning discussions. The factors included: improving the quality of life for homeless individuals and families, improving the quality of life for those at risk of becoming homeless, eliminating barriers to housing and services, finding ethical and economical solutions, developing unified and comprehensive efforts that demonstrate best practices in housing and service delivery, and being able to demonstrate returns for our forthcoming efforts. The HPG adopted the plan on January 13, 2006 and the City of Clearwater approved the plan unanimously at their March 16, 2006 Council Meeting. The HPG has transitioned into the Homeless Leadership Network (HLN). HLN monitors and oversees implementation of the plan to ensure accountability and results consistent with the plan. The make-up of the HLN is very similar to the HPG, but now executive members of the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless (PCCH) serve on the group. The PCCH serves as the Operations Network Group and deals with the operating and actual implementation of the 10-Year Plan, while getting direction from the HLN. In creating this plan and demonstrating our commitment to work together to develop and enact this plan, we hope this will provide motivation for others to get involved and support the effort. The City provided CDBG funding to four (4) agencies assisting the homeless in FY 2007-2008 - Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP), Westcare of Florida (a/k/a The Mustard Seed) - Turning Point and Religious Community Services - Food Pantry/The Haven and Homeless Emergency Project. Westcare's - Turning Point Program received $17,136 to cover administrative costs. The Turning Point is an inebriate receiving center that provides a safe haven for both walk-in clientele and those who are picked up by law enforcement and other agencies. The program provides food, temporary shelter, and counseling. After an initial assessment, clients are placed in longer term housing, assisted in finding a job and are provided other services as necessary. The facility has a capacity to handle 178 clients and two (2) staff members. The facility averages 56 beds and 10 clients on the floor. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 8 of 33 The City funded the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program (CHIP) in the amount of $30,000 for operational support for a program that provides temporary shelter, food and clothing. The agency assisted 1,483 individuals during this reporting period. The program requires participants to seek and retain employment and receive counseling in order to stay at the shelter. Upon stabilization, clients are moved into transitional housing. The city provided $500,000, ($375,000 HOME and $125,000 SHIP), to the Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. to build a four-unit rental facility that provides housing for 24 homeless individuals (Fairburn Apartments). A total of $54,000 was provided to Religious Community Services - Food Pantry to renovate their facility that provides food for deserving low-income and homeless individuals and families. The agency provided services to 8,426 families during this reporting period. In addition to the food pantry, the city provided $9,698 to the agency for improvements for their Haven's Spouse Abuse Shelter. The chart below illustrates the allocations and expenditures for FY 2007/08 and prior funds expended in this reporting year. These allocations resulted in many homeless individual/families being provided a place to live and get back on their feet and obtain other essential services.

(Catholic Charities) prepared a Permanent Special Needs Housing Grant Application that was received by the State of Florida in May 2008. The State of Florida provided three million dollars to Catholic Charities, subject to a local government match of one million dollars for a total development cost of 4 million dollars. Catholic Charities requested $127,501.56 as the City of Clearwater's local match to build the single-room-occupancy housing complex for the Homeless from the Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund (HTF). The agency requested the funds as a local grant. The funds will be used to construct a 50-unit, 80-bed efficiency apartment complex on the net acre tract of land owned by the Diocese of St. Petersburg, located directly to the south of the Pinellas Hope facility located around 49th St. and 5500 block of 126th Ave. The facility serves persons who are homeless or have special needs. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 9 of 33 Pinellas County has disbursed funding over the past two (2) years to a Housing Trust Fund that allocated funding based upon the share of population. The City received allocations of $944,456 in FY06 and $472,228 in FY07. The Housing Trust Fund Program requires that each local government to contribute 15% of its annual allocation to projects that benefit special needs populations. The project allowed the City to meet its obligation for FY06-07. St. Petersburg, Largo and Pinellas County will each participate in providing the required local government match with funding from the 15% budgeted for Special Needs from HTF. The City commitment for matching funds was subject to completion of the Consolidated Plan Application and contingent on Catholic Charities obtaining Florida Housing Finance Corporation ("FHFC") funding from the FHFC FY 2008-09 Special Needs Allocations, and required additional local match funding from the City of Largo, the City of St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County by December 31, 2008, and commencing construction of the Development within two years. In addition to the SRO project, Catholic Charities runs Pinellas Hope, an open-air homeless shelter located near 126th Avenue North in unincorporated Pinellas County. "Tent City", which was opened in December 2007, is intended to cut down on the number of individuals who are homeless and redirect them into permanent housing. Individuals who stay at Pinellas Hope are provided a safe haven and a warm meal. They also are put in contact with various social and community service agencies that could assist them with finding permanent housing and self-sufficiency. In July 2008, Catholic Charities requested assistance to keep Pinellas Hope open the remainder of the year. The City Council discussed providing financial assistance to the Pinellas Hope Program and unanimously agreed to provide funding, from the General Fund, in the amount of $50,000 to Catholic Charities for the continuation of the program According to a St. Petersburg Times Article, of the 484 people Pinellas Hope served over the first five months, 122 found jobs and another 148 found homes. One man, who had lived under a highway overpass, discovered he was eligible for Social Security benefits and now has an apartment. The operation has survived on a combination of private charity, business donations and local government support. e. Non-Homeless Special Needs Strategy CDBG funds were provided in the amount of $30,000 to Pinellas Opportunity Council to administer their Chore Services Program. Through this program, various chore services were provided to forty-seven elderly, frail elderly, developmentally-disabled and physically-disabled individuals to assist them in remaining in their home. To further assist non-homeless individuals with special needs, the City provided funding to Directions for Mental Health. Directions For Mental Health provides a facility for individuals to obtain mental health counseling. They also provide needed medicines for related mental health illnesses. A total of $62,900 was provided to repair their parking area and replace an air conditioning unit. During this reporting period, the City provided funding in the amount of $45,016 to Religious Community Service to renovate their facilities. Religious Community Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 10 of 33 Services and Directions for Mental Health provide assistance to the elderly, persons with mental and physical disabilities, and victims of spouse abuse. These services are classified as special needs. 3. AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING Until October 1999, the City of Clearwater had designated the Human Relations Department as the lead agency in affirmatively furthering fair housing and enforcing the local Fair Housing Ordinance. Human Relations investigated and enforced the Fair Housing laws, provided the administrative procedures that the City followed to enforce said laws, and responded to any Fair Housing complaints received by the City. The City of Clearwater no longer directly enforces fair housing laws. The responsibility was assigned to the Pinellas County Human Relations Department since their office investigates and makes recommendations on all Fair Housing issues for other areas of Pinellas County with the exception of the City of St. Petersburg. The City of Clearwater plays an active role in affirmatively furthering Fair Housing by adhering to the Human Rights Ordinance that Pinellas County adopted in 1984. Pinellas County maintains an interlocal agreement with the City of St. Petersburg for the enforcement of the ordinance. The City of St. Petersburg handles enforcement south of Ulmerton Road and Pinellas County enforces north of Ulmerton Road. In 2002, the City of Clearwater, along with the cities of St. Petersburg and Largo, Pinellas County, Pinellas County Housing Authority, and the UNO Federation formed a Fair Housing Partnership to coordinate efforts countywide to support and expand the availability of housing to all, regardless of familial status, national origin, race, accessibility, and disability. The Partnership's tools for furthering this effort are educational programs, training, testing, assessments, and enforcement through the appropriate channels. The Partnership meets periodically to review programs and to set and review goals. The City remains active in the provision of affordable housing, accessible housing, and promotion of home ownership. The City of Clearwater provides information concerning home ownership, home financing, and home repairs in printed matter and is working with our Public Communications Department to provide information in a variety of other mediums. Over the past year, the City has put a substantial amount of educational information on the Housing Division's webpage pertaining to Fair Housing, Elderly Housing, Lead-Based Paint, Predatory & Fair Lending, and Financial Education (SEE Appendix). The City will continue to expand the availability of information about housing programs and Fair Housing laws. The City requested to meet with the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity representative from HUD Tampa to obtain technical assistance to improve our Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity activities. a. Sale Or Rental Of Housing Fair Housing complaints received by the City's Equity Services Department and Pinellas County Office on Human Rights/Human Relations indicate that discrimination in the sale or rental of housing and provision of housing brokerage services does occu r. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 11 of 33 b. Public Policies The high percentage of build-out in the City affects the availability of suitable land for multi-family and affordable single-family development. The City's Community Development Code, design standards, adequate public facility (concurrency) ordinance and Building Code requirements influence the feasibility of affordable housing projects. Development regulations can limit the potential use of small or irregular infill parcels for affordable housing or increase costs associated with site development and construction. c. Administrative Policies Administrative policies generally support Fair Housing. These include: 1. Marketing housing programs in targeted areas. 2. Providing citywide homebuyers' assistance and education. 3. Placing educational material on the Housing Division's webpage. 4. Carefully reviewing where affordable housing developments will be located. 5. Avoiding a concentration of very-low to moderate-income households in multi-family developments. d. Actions Taken To Overcome Impediments The City, in conjunction with the Pinellas County Fair Housing Partnership (Pinellas County, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas County Housing Authority, and the UNO Federation), initiated a Fair Housing Study beginning early in 2002 to determine if persons seeking rental housing were given differential treatment based on familial status, national origin, race, accessibility, and disability; and to determine if further educational and outreach programs were needed. Two (2) consulting firms conducted the testing process and prepared the report. Two hundred tests were conducted, but not all of the sites were tested on every basis. The report was completed in the fall of 2002. Differential treatment was shown in 59% of the cases tested. Broken down by area, the percentage of cases showing differential treatment was: St. Petersburg, 52%; Clearwater 55%; Largo 67%; Pinellas County (balance of county including small cities) 61%. This information was presented to each of the Partners' boards or commissions, and all tested rental complexes were sent a copy of the study. Results were reported in local newspapers and on television. As a result of the study it was recommended that the following steps be taken to improve the current situation: 1. In cases where there is overwhelming evidence of differential treatment, a complaint against the housing provider should be filed with HUD and/or any similar local governing agency. 2. There should be aggressive education and outreach efforts to both the housing providers and the general public. 3. The Pinellas Partnership retest properties that demonstrated "some type of differential treatment" for possible future enforcement effort. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 12 of 33 4. All local government permitting agencies should implement an accessibility review process before permitting newly constructed multi-family dwellings. 5. Mandate Fair Housing training for any developer or builder receiving city or county funding. The Partnership conducted a series of forums, seminars, and other outreach efforts to educate housing providers and the general public on Fair Housing issues, rights, and regulations. Testing will be done in the future on a smaller scale to determine if enforcement efforts are needed. The City funds programs that offer free classes for persons desiring to become homeowners. The Pinellas Realtor Organization subscribes to the Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement (VAMA) and works to educate its members about Fair Housing. Training and marketing materials have been videotaped and translated into American Sign Language and Spanish. The City promotes home ownership and education at various homebuyer fairs and expositions. The City also provides funding to Community Service Foundation to provide Fair Housing Education. In addition to the Human Relations Department, the City is working with Pinellas County Realtors through the Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement (VAMA) Program to further Fair Housing opportunities in real estate transactions. To further these efforts of the VAMA, the Pinellas County Board of Realtors enlisted the services of the Community Housing Resource Board to focus on the federal, state and local enforcement agencies, housing industry groups and volunteer community groups working together to promote Fair Housing practices. These efforts include: • Providing public information on Fair Housing. • Assessing community Fair Housing needs and identifying local problems and issues that impede equal housing opportunity. • Evaluating performance and effectiveness of the VAMA. • Expanding minority involvement in the real estate industry. • Expanding public awareness of housing opportunities in the community. • Developing cooperative solutions to problems associated with the implementation of the VAMA. Other actions during the FY2007-08 included: • Continued support of Pinellas County Human Relations Department, Pinellas County Board of Realtors, and the Community Housing Resource Board. • Continued to work with the local committee of American with Disabilities to view housing related issues for homeowners, renters, or homebuyers with disabilities. • Provided SHIP funding in the amount of $3,160 to the Community Service Foundation, $26,740 to Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation, $300 to Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Inc. and $2,460 to Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Service to implement homebuyers training programs, fair housing education and assistance, and foreclosure prevention and counseling services. • Provided funding in the amount of $12,199 to Gulf Coast Legal Services to implement a Fair Housing program that offers fair housing counseling Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 13 of 33 services, initial needs assessment, rental eviction intervention, and marketing of Fair Housing programs. Provided funding in the amount of $14,897 to Community Service Foundation to administer a Fair Housing Program. The Pinellas County anti-discrimination efforts focus on public information and enforcement of Fair Housing regulations and the County's Human Rights Ordinance. The County publishes a Housing Resource Directory that includes an overview of Fair Housing law, information about reasonable accommodation and accessibility, and a list of state and local enforcement agencies. The County produces a brochure entitled, Fair Housing in Pinellas County, and distributes approximately 5,000 copies annually. Below market rate mortgages, down payment and closing cost assistance are readily available through the County's Housing Finance Authority and through other agencies. The County is also active in providing and promoting affordable housing, providing low cost funds for home purchase or repair, and modification to homes to make them accessible to persons with disabilities. The City directs significant resources to expand the supply of affordable rental housing and partners with a variety of for-profit and non-profit developers and the Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County. The City also assists developers with a variety of incentives aimed at reducing development costs, impact fees, and regulatory impediments. The City encourages mixed-income, multi-family developments to develop affordable housing in areas that are not predominantly low to moderate-income areas as part of a continuing effort to deconcentrate poverty. Funding is denied to developers who do not provide mixed-income housing where the effect could be to racially or economically segregate low-income households. 4. LEVERAGING RESOURCES The City's efforts to provide affordable housing and other services to very-low to moderate-income families have resulted in leveraging a great amount of additional resources. Through the City's SHIP and HOME Programs, the City expended $126,969 in down payment assistance and leveraged $511,031 in private sector funding. Through the Infill Housing and Down Payment Assistance Programs the City continues to work closely with the lending and housing non-profits in the community to leverage private investment in home ownership. (Please see Homebuyers Section for accomplishments). In addition, the City works with Community Service Foundation, Partners in Self Sufficiency, Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation, Consumer Credit Counseling Services, and Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Service, Inc. to provide homeownership counseling to support our housing programs. 5. CONTINUUM OF CARE NARRATIVE The City works closely with the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless and various other homeless services providers in addressing the needs of the City's Homeless. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 14 of 33 The City listed Continuum of Care issues as a high priority in the Consolidated Plan. During this reporting period, the City provided $30,000 in CDBG funds to Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) as operating capital for their Emergency Shelter Facility as part of it's Continuum of Care. The facility provided shelter, food, counseling, and case management services to 1,356 individuals during this reporting period. A total of $17,136 was provided to the Westcare of Florida (a/k/a The Mustard Seed) - Turning Point for inebriated homeless individuals. During this reporting period, the agency assisted 132 homeless individuals from Clearwater. The Homeless Emergency Project received $500,000 to build four (4) units of permanent rental housing for the homeless. The units will provide living facilities for up to 24 homeless individuals. The facility offers food to homeless individuals and families. The agency's goal is to serve 1,000 people annually. In addition to short and long-term housing for the homeless, the HEP provides a variety of other services including job placement, medical, dental and psychological counseling. A total of $45,016 was provided to Religious Community Services - Food Pantry to complete the renovation of their distribution facility that provides food for deserving low-income and homeless individuals and families. The agency provided services to 7,188 families during this reporting period. In this reporting period $62,900 in CDBG funds was provided to Directions for Mental Health to renovate their office complex. Directions for Mental Health - provides a wide range of high quality behavior health services for all ages. The agency assisted 3,265 individuals for effective treatment of mental illness. CDBG funds were provided in the amount of $30,000 to the Pinellas Opportunity Council to administer their Chore Services Program. Through this program various chore services were provided to 69 elderly, frail elderly, developmentally-disabled and physically-disabled individuals to assist them in remaining in their home. 6. CITIZENS PARTICIPATION The City maintains a Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board to encourage public participation. The Board meets periodically to discuss and make recommendations to City Staff and the City Council on housing related issues. The City Clerk's Office maintains minutes from those meetings. The City has not received any citizen comments on the Proposed FY 2007-08 CAPER. 7. OTHER ACTIONS a. Fostering And Maintaining Affordable Housing The City of Clearwater has been very proactive in fostering and maintaining affordable housing. Although the City cannot control the cost of labor, goods or land costs, the City continues to look for new and creative ways to address the issue of affordability. Some of the steps the City has taken in the past and/or are currently doing include: Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 15 of 33 • Design homes that are practical and efficient • Subsidize impact fees • Provide financing at below market rates, zero percent and/or deferred payment loans • Fund subrecipients to acquire vacant properties and build affordable houses • Work with subrecipients to acquire homes foreclosed by HUD and resell them as affordable housing units • Pay for infrastructure improvements with general revenue funds • Change the City's Development Code to address other development issues • Work with the local housing authority to buy property and resell for affordable housing • Work with developers to put together applications for funding through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, State of Florida Housing Bond Program and other resources to build or rehabilitate rental units for affordable housing b. Barriers To Affordable Housing In the early years (1992 - 1995) of the City's SHIP Program, the Clearwater's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) reviewed the following areas to identify potential barriers to affordable housing: • Affordable Housing Definitions • Permit Processing • Impact Fee Requirements • Infrastructure Capacity • Residential Zoning Density • Transfer of Development Rights • On-Site Parking and Setback Requirements • Zero-Lot Line Development • Sidewalk and Street Requirements • Regulatory Review Processes • Inventory of Lands Suitable for Affordable Housing Development The City began receiving SHIP Program funding in 1992 when the Florida Legislature adopted the Sadowski Act. The SHIP Program is a dedicated source of affordable housing funds that are provided annually to the cities and counties within the state. One of the driving forces behind the passage of the Sadowski Act was the Florida Homebuilders and Contractors Associations. As a result of their lobbying effort, SHIP jurisdictions each year must expend seventy-five percent (75%) of their funds (entitlement and recaptured funds) on activities that involve construction and/or rehabilitation of homes, and in addition, sixty-five percent (65%) of the funds (entitlement and recaptured funds) must result in homeownership. A major requirement of the SHIP Program, as well as a condition of receiving continued funding, was each jurisdiction had to adopt affordable housing incentives that would assist in the implementation of their affordable housing activities. Each SHIP entitlement community was required to adopt an Affordable Housing Incentive Plan (AHIP), which contained, at a minimum two statutory required incentives: 1. Assurance that permits as defined in Chapter 163.3164(7) and (8) F.S. for affordable housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects; 2. An Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 16 of 33 ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinances, regulations, and plan provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption (420.9071(16) F. S.). During the 2007 legislative session, the Florida legislature passed House Bill 1375. Under this bill, approval was granted for the creation of Section 420.9076 of the Florida Statute. This statute requires counties and cities receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds to appoint an eleven member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The statute further provides that the committee be made up of members from a specific industry or a specific group as identified in the statute. The requirement was largely met through the use of the City's existing Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB). The City Council adopted Resolution No. 08-15 that created and appointed the AHAC. The duties of the AHAC included reviewing policies and procedures, ordinances, land development regulations and the City's adopted comprehensive plan and recommending specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable housing. Per state statute, at a minimum, the AHAC reviewed and made recommendations on the following: 1. The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in F.S.163.3164 (7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects. 2. The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing. 3. The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. 4. The reservation of infrastructure capacity or housing for very-low income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons. 5. The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts. 6. The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. 7. The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing. 8. The modification of street requirements for affordable housing. 9. The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. 10. The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. 11. The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-use developments. In July, the Economic Development and Housing Department contracted with Wade Trim, Inc. to help facilitate the process. Wade Trim coordinated the preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy in cooperation with the City's staff and the AHAC. The Local Housing Incentive Strategy encompasses the definition, vision, strategic focus areas and incentive recommendations in order to facilitate the development of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater. The AHAC convened on four separate occasions in order to develop and identify the value of affordable housing, identify the principles for Clearwater's affordable housing and develop a vision statement to be included as part of the Local Hosing Incentives Strategy. A Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 17 of 33 separate focus group consisting of for-profit and non-profit affordable housing developers was also organized in order to gain additional insight and recommendations concerning the incentive strategies. The report highlights an affordable housing vision statement that was derived from input by board members. Additionally, AHAC members focused on the values that affordable housing brings to the City of Clearwater. The themes identified centered on the values that affordable housing supports a dynamic and competitive economy, improves the social well being that builds a sense of community, and ensures that the City's workforce can live within the City limits. Furthermore, the AHAC also identified and recommended provisions that would identify adaptive reuse practices, require triennial updates to the City's Local Housing Incentives Strategy, support design standards for affordable housing developers, improve communication and marketing channels for affordable housing, diversify financing resources, and support development of public and private partnerships for the provision of affordable housing. By statute, the initial report must be submitted to City Council by December 30, 2008. After the initial submission, the reports are due every three years on December 31s' of the year preceding the submission of the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP). The City Council is being asked to review the Local Housing Incentives Strategy recommendations that were approved by the AHAC on November 19, 2008. By March 31, 2009, the City Council will be asked to adopt an amendment to the LHAP to incorporate the local housing incentive strategies it will implement for the City of Clearwater. The amendment must include, at a minimum, the State required incentive strategies specified above. Upon approval, the City of Clearwater is required to notify the State of its adoption of an amendment to its LHAP to incorporate the incentive strategies. The notice must also include a copy of the approved amended plan in order to comply with the SHIP programs participation guidelines. As we continue to address the affordable housing needs of our residents, we must also ensure that we continue to meet the statutory requirements of the SHIP Program. In future years, as part of the monitoring process conducted by the State of Florida, the monitors will be evaluating how local jurisdictions are implementing their affordable housing incentives in order to ensure they are meeting their statutory obligations. These evaluations will review the process and policies that all affordable housing projects go through from start to finish. This process is not totally exclusive to affordable housing projects using SHIP dollars, but any affordable housing project taking place in the City, regardless of the funding source. c. Managing The Process As part of the review process for proposed policies, regulations, plans and programs, the sponsoring city department requests that the Economic Development and Housing Department to analyze the economic impact of the action as it pertains to the cost of housing. The analysis shows the estimated increase in cost to an average home. The analyses are maintained on file in the Housing Division of the Economic Development and Housing Department. The City holds public hearings and meetings to obtain citizen input and to respond to Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 18 of 33 citizen proposals and inquiries about activities and program performance. Citizens and other city stakeholders have emphasized the need to consider the City's diverse interests in the establishment of goals, objectives, policies and priorities; the identification of new projects and programs; and in the application, monitoring and evaluation of existing programs. Typically, the Economic Development and Housing Department staff meets with prospective affordable housing developer to determine the level of assistance and project needs. If the developer proceeds with a project, staff facilitates the plan review and permitting process through the Planning, Building and Engineering departments. This allows the Economic Development and Housing Department to troubleshoot and streamline the process. Below is a section from the City's recently adopted "Expedited Processing and Ongoing Review" Policy. d. Expedited Processing L Building Department All affordable housing projects, as defined in Chapter 163.3164(7) and (8) F.S., that are located within the City limits are required to include with their application for building permit a request for Expedited Processing. A copy of this request must be provided to the Building Official and to the Assistant Director of Housing. Expedited Processing affords eligible projects priority over projects without this status. When an affordable housing project receives approval, the Building Division notifies the Assistant Director who, in turn, will document the timeframe for the application process. ii. Planning Department The Planning Department will follow the City of Clearwater - Community Development Code when processing all affordable housing applications for activities that require rezoning, land-use amendments, variances, development orders, etc. Under the Code, all projects are reviewed and may be scheduled for the next meeting of the Development Review Committee (DRC - staff level review) and if needed, the Community Development Board (CDB). Many applications can be decided at the staff level and may not need to go DRC and/or CDB. When affordable housing projects and/or applications are submitted that can be decided at the Staff level, they shall receive priority and be reviewed before any non-affordable housing project and/or applications. Applicants must indicate that the project will be an affordable housing development and/or project. The Planning Department has and will continue to implement, where possible, the expedited plan amendment process for large-scale amendments related to the provision of affordable housing. e. Comprehensive Plan Analysis The City's Comprehensive Plan includes a state mandated housing element that analyzes the City's existing and projected housing need. The element contains goals, objectives and policies that work in tandem with other city housing policy documents. Fostering and maintaining an affordable housing supply is one of the element's primary goals. The goal is supported by policies that aim to reduce barriers Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 19 of 33 to public and private sector construction of affordable units. The Economic Development and Housing Department coordinated with the Planning Department in 2005 for the preparation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) for the Comprehensive Plan. A focus of the EAR was affordable housing. In this regard, the EAR included an assessment of the successes and shortcomings of the City's affordable housing polices and programs, along with recommendations for improvement. The EAR recommendations were addressed in a major update of the Comprehensive Plan in 2007-2008. As part of the review process, the city formed a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide direction in the EAR. The CAC, along with a consultant (Wade Trim, Inc.), established identification of data needs and methods of compilation, meetings, methodology of comprehensive issues analysis, and coordination with other city departments. Their results were provided to the City's Planning Department. The Planning Departments recommendations were approved by the City Council. The EAR-based comprehensive plan amendments are currently being review by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs for approval. f. Lead Based Paint Lead based paint continues to be a serious problem throughout cities across America. It is usually prevalent in homes built prior to 1978. Clearwater's housing stock is relatively new with the average home being built after 1970. However, the City still maintains that lead based paint is a serious issue and conducts housing inspections to determine if there are defective paint surfaces. If lead conditions are present, the lead paint is either removed or covered in a manner described by HUD. No lead based paint conditions were found during this reporting period. The City will continue its effort to rid structures of lead based paint and will inspect any homes built prior to 1978 for any presence of lead based paint. The City will continue to test and remove all lead based paint surfaces in structures that are being rehabilitated under our programs that are using federal funds. The City will use the services of the Pinellas County Environmental Department to test all structures with defective paint surfaces and the local Health Department to test children for elevated blood levels. The Willa Carson Community Health Resource Center continues to participate with the City by providing a meeting area for neighborhood based education programs, disseminating information on the hazards of lead based paint, and provide blood screening. The City continues to put information about lead based paint and safety on to the Housing Division website. Program activities include the following: • Collaboration between public-private agencies involving housing, health, and community-based organizations to facilitate a Healthy Home Team to go door to door in the targeted Brownfields area to identify children and homes at risk. • Assurance that children identified at risk receive blood lead testing and the child with elevated lead levels receives follow-up care. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 20 of 33 • Promotion of a public awareness campaign through education via physicians and the community and disbursement of educational materials. • Routine placement of educational materials on the Housing Division's webpage. • Assessment of homes at risk to identify lead hazard control services to eliminate hazards identified in homes. • Initiation of supportive lead hazard control services to eliminate hazards identified in homes. • Evaluation of prevention activities to measure the impact and outcome of program services and intervention efforts in the community. g. Poverty Level Assessment Reducing the number of residents who live below the poverty level is very important to the City of Clearwater. The City realized that the most effective way to reduce the number of persons below the poverty level was to increase their income through providing employment opportunities. The City will provide funding to support service organizations that reduce impediments for families allowing them to rise above the poverty level. The City provides economic development opportunities to non-profit and for profit businesses that agree to hire lower-income individuals. Through the coordination among programs, including the Environmental Protection Agency, State Brownfields Redevelopment initiatives, Juvenile Welfare Board, Clearwater Stars, United Way, the Eckerd Foundation, Pinellas County WorkNet, and the University of South Florida, the City will continue to expand its efforts to reduce impediments. h. Institutional Structure To overcome gaps in institutional structures and enhance coordination, the City implemented several practices that have been very successful. First, local lenders were provided with information relative to the City's housing programs and offer a coordinated effort for the lending institution to prosper. Together we are able to provide home ownership and homebuyer opportunities for very-low to moderate- income families. The City and its subrecipients pre-qualify clients to the lender's and City's specification and provide financing in the form of down payment assistance. L Public Housing And Residential Initiatives The City understands the benefits of improving public housing and resident initiatives. To improve the lives of families residing in public housing the City targeted the children to break the cycle. The City will continue to work and strengthen our relationship with the Clearwater Housing Authority (CHA) to foster innovative public housing developments, potential joint ventures and residential initiatives. There are several potential projects that the City is coordinating with CHA. These include the former Jasmine Courts property and the Homer Villas property. To help with resident initiatives, the City provided $30,000 for operations to the Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 21 of 33 Partners in Self Sufficiency Program. This program provides residents on public assistance (Section 8) housing, counseling and case management services that encourage participants to become self-sufficient and purchase their own home. The agency assisted 87 families during this reporting period. 8. HOUSING a. Housing Needs The City has been very proactive in fostering and maintaining affordable housing. Although the City cannot control the cost of labor, goods or land costs, the City continues to look for new and creative ways to address the issue of affordability. Some of the steps the City has taken in the past and/or are currently doing include: • Design homes that are practical and efficient • Subsidize impact fees • Provide financing at below market rates, zero percent and/or deferred payment loans • Fund subrecipients to acquire vacant properties and build affordable houses • Work with subrecipients to acquire homes foreclosed by HUD and resell them as affordable housing units • Pay for infrastructure improvements with general revenue funds • Change the City's Development Code to address other development issues • Work with the local housing authority to buy property and resell for affordable housing • Work with developers to put together applications for funding through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, State of Florida Housing Bond Program and other resources to build or rehabilitate rental units for affordable housing b.

Fourteen loans were provided to low-income families and eighteen loans were provided to very-low income families. This activity resulted in expenditures in the amount of $483,684. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 23 of 33 The City offers several programs that help make housing more affordable to very-low and moderate-income homebuyers. The City's Home Ownership Program will lend funds to purchase land, provide down payment assistance, pay impact fees, disposition costs, closing costs and build new homes for income eligible home buyers. Funds in this program are also available to approved non-profit agencies financing their clients home ownership needs. Currently these agencies include: • Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. • Community Service Foundation • Home for Independence • Habitat for Humanity • Largo Area Housing Development Corporation • Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation In addition to loans, housing education and counseling services were provided by four (4) of the City's housing subrecipients. The City has allocated, on a per household basis, $75,000 for housing education. The City provided an allocation to Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation (TBCDC) to administer their Home Buyers Club and for Homeownership Counseling Program, Consumer Credit Counseling Services for budgeting and foreclosure counseling, Community Services Foundation (CSF) for administering the Partnership to Homeownership and Homebuyer Education Program and Lighthouse Credit Foundation for homebuyer counseling. All of the education and counseling programs were funded through the SHIP program. Over 204 individuals/families took part in the education/counseling services during this reporting period. A total of 130 participated in both TBCDC Programs (Homeownership Counseling and Homebuyer Education Programs), 36 participated in Community Service Foundation's Partnership to Ownership and Homebuyer Education Programs, 32 participated from Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services and Consumer Credit Counseling Service counseled six (6). 9. HOME Program a. Assessment Of Relationship Of HOME Funds The City received an allocation of $538,355 in HOME Entitlement Funds for FY2007- 2008. The majority of the funds were set aside for housing development. The table below shows how funds for the entitlement allocation were budgeted this reporting period: Subrecipient Housing Pool $383,767 Community Housing Development Organizations $80,753 Relocation $10,000 Demolition $10,000 Program Administration $53,835 TOTAL $538,355 Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 24 of 33 Funds set aside in the Subrecipient Housing Pool may be used for homeownership rehabilitation; new single-family housing construction, down payment and closing cost assistance, acquisition of real property and other related housing costs.

HOME Match Report Please see Match Report in Appendix under "IDIS Reports". c. HOME Inspections, Affirmative Marketing Actions, Outreach To Minority And Women Owned Businesses Three (3) rental housing developments previously funded and subject to HOME monitoring were inspected during this reporting period. The housing developments were Wellington Apartments, Fulton Avenue Apartments and Lexington Apartments. Wellington and Fulton Avenue Apartments provide housing for low to moderate- income families and Lexington Apartments provide housing for the elderly. The monitoring visit to Wellington, Fulton Avenue and Lexington Apartments did not show any areas of non-compliance. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 25 of 33 10. OTHER HOUSING PROGRAMS a. State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program During the City's FY07-08, the period of October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008, the City expended the following dollars in association with the development and preservation of loans for housing units for low to moderate-income families with down payment and closing cost assistance for new and existing units. Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program SHIP Funds Expended $1,081,099 Other Public Funds Expended 0 Private Funds Expended $511,031 Owner Equity $24,011 TOTAL $1,616,141 Funding from this program provided seven (7) families with down payment and closing cost assistance. Five (5) families had income less than 80 percent of the median area income and two (2) families had income between 80 and 120 percent of the median area income. Rehabilitation Program SHIP Funds Expended $282,452 TOTAL $282,452 Funding from this program provided rehabilitation funds to twelve families. Seven (7) families had income less than 50 percent of the median area income and five (5) families had income between 50 and 80 percent of the median area income. Multi-Family Housing Program SHIP Funds Expended $275,000 TOTAL $275,000 SHIP funds were used as a local match ($125,000) for the HOME Program to construct a four (4) unit permanent housing complex for Homeless Emergency Project (Fairburn Apartments). The facility will provide housing opportunities for up to 24 homeless individuals. An additional $150,000 was provided to Kimberly Home to purchase an existing two (2) unit rental facility. The City developed the Foreclosure Prevention Program to provide one-time assistance to low to moderate-income families who had previously been assisted with SHIP funds in order to prevent foreclosure. According to the City's SHIP Annual Report, a total of $1,109,403 in total revenues (allocation, program income and recaptured funds) was deposited into the Local Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 26 of 33 Affordable Housing Trust Fund during State FY 07-08. These funds were generated through the following: State Annual Distribution $851,9571 Program Income $257,446 Recaptured Funds 0 TOTAL $1,109,403 b. Emergency Shelter Grants Program The city does not receive any Emergency Shelter Grant Funds. c. Brownfields Program The City of Clearwater, Florida Brownfields Area is one of the city's oldest sections with a low-income, minority population in the most densely populated county in Florida. The City's Brownfields area covers all three of the City's Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas. It has been ten years since the City of Clearwater was awarded its first EPA Brownfields Assessment Pilot grant, and recent events indicate that the city's cleanup and redevelopment of Brownfields properties is still an active campaign. The Clearwater Brownfields Area (CBA), with approximately 244 regulatory listed sites located in over 7,000 properties, is spread across more than 1,842+ acres. Clearwater has the distinction of being the first state-designated Brownfields area in Florida. Clearwater defines Brownfields as "redevelopment opportunities that result in viable economic and community development, residential, and open -space/greenspace projects." The definition reflects a perception of Brownfields that is results-oriented, viewing challenges as opportunities rather than insurmountable liabilities. Over the last decade, Clearwater has moved aggressively to attract funding for its Brownfields program. The City has received a total of $2,641,000 in EPA grants and $1.7+ million in state and other Brownfields related funding. Clearwater has conducted 90 Phase I Environmental Assessments, 15 Phase II Assessments, and fourteen sites have been cleaned up and readied for reuse. To capture the benefits to public health, the City of Clearwater Economic Development & Housing Department Brownfields Program began efforts to develop and implement a Public Health Monitoring Project (PHM). The PHM is funded from the US EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant BF-96486307-0. By integrating public health with Brownfields redevelopment, the physical, mental, social and spiritual well being of individuals, families and the community can be improved. To gain insight about health challenges faced by Clearwater communities, an initial meeting was held with local public healthcare providers. A summary report of the meeting is considered an initial measure to develop a collaborative effort to improve community health, well-being and sustainability. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 27 of 33 Tangible benefits of Brownfields redevelopment can include health clinics, community gardens, parks and recreations area, and health related business (e.g. pharmacies, diagnostic centers). Public health monitoring offers a variety of tools that can be used to identify the public health needs that may be addressed through Brownfields redevelopment. These include mapping of site characteristics, examination of vital statistics and monitoring of health and environment (e.g. asthma surveillance, lead abatement) among other measures. 11. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The City utilized a strategy of diversification when selecting CDBG eligible activities. Funds in the amount of $193,010 were allocated for administration (including Fair Housing activities), $463,276 for housing activities (rehabilitation, acquisition, disposition, etc.), $173,660 for public facilities and improvements and $135,107 for public services. a. Nature And Reasons For Any Changes To Objectives There were no changes or amendments to program objectives. b. Assessment Of Grantee Efforts To Carryout Planned Actions 1. All resources (CDBG, HOME and SHIP) listed in the Consolidated Plan were obtained. 2. The City supported the Homeless Emergency Project in an application for federal funds. 3. In addition to CDBG, HOME and SHIP funds, the City was successful in obtaining private sector leveraging for new housing construction and financing home purchases. c. Actions Of Funds Used Outside The National Objectives All CDBG funds were used for activities that meet the national objectives. d. Acquisition, Rehabilitation And Demolition Narrative Neither the City, nor its subrecipients, acquired or rehabilitated buildings that resulted in the displacement of business, individuals or families as a result of projects funded with CDBG or HOME dollars. All properties that were acquired with CDBG funds were voluntary and mostly vacant parcels. The City's subrecipients purchased all properties acquired during this reporting period. They include Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Service, Inc., Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation, Community Service Foundation, and Habitat for Humanity. When subrecipients become interested in a property they want to acquire, the following steps are required: 1. The Subrecipient informs the property owner they are interested in the property. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 28 of 33 2. The Subrecipient sends out HUD Guide Notice-Disclosures to Sellers with Voluntary, Arm's Length Purchase Offer. 3. The Subrecipient informs the owner they do not have the power of Eminent Domain and the purchase would strictly be a voluntary transaction. 4. If the owner is interested in selling the property, an appraisal is obtained. 5. The Subrecipient determines just compensation for the property. 6. The Subrecipient offers just compensation to the owner. 7. Should the owner agree to the offer, the Subrecipient may purchase the property. 8. If the offer is not acceptable to the owner, both parties walk away from the deal. Temporary relocation benefits were provided to eligible homeowners while their homes were being rehabilitated. Temporary benefits include moving, storage, temporary rents, and utilities. A total of $123,495 was expended to demolish 16 dilapidated vacant rental buildings (former Homer Villas). The demolition of the rental buildings will result in the construction of fifty new single-family homes for low to moderate-income families. The Clearwater City Council approved a Contract For Purchase of Real Property located at 1317 and 1321 Martin Luther King Avenue and 1104 Tangerine Street. The properties located at 1317 and 1321 were vacant and without improvements. The property located at 1104 Tangerine Street is a two-story commercial building. The first floor had an operating bar (Blue Chip Bar) and a vacant restaurant. The second floor had twelve vacant boarding rooms. The full purchase price as established was reached through negotiations with the seller through the seller's real estate agent. On February 1, 2008 State Certified General Real Estate Appraisers Holly B. Isaacs and Charles T. Cowart, MAI, of Issacs Real Estate Services, appraised and valued the properties at $458,600. The funds used to purchase the properties were derived from unprogrammed Community Development Block Grant Program Funds ($466,900), State Brownfields Program funds ($29,050) and other non-federal housing funds ($29,050). The City's Brownfields Program funded, from EPA Grant #BF96486307, a total of $26,300 for a Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The assessments included an asbestos survey; lead base screening; quality assurance project plan; soil and groundwater activities. No environmental impacts were noted. The purchase of these properties will remove a deteriorating and longstanding blighting impact on the North Greenwood community and will continue the City's efforts to revitalize the neighborhood. The City has begun initial discussions with several non-profit organizations regarding potential partnerships for an end use for the site. e. Economic Development Narrative For FY07-08 the City expended $34,232 for Economic Development Program Delivery. The program delivery costs were associated with managing the economic development loan portfolio. Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 29 of 33 f. Limited Clientele Narrative The City and its subrecipients maintain files that document all clients who qualify for the limited clientele designation. g. Loans And Other Receivables Please see Financial Summary Report. h. Lump Sum Agreements The city does not provide lump sums. 12. NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION STRATEGY AREAS The City of Clearwater's Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS) is a component of the City's Five Year Consolidated Plan. The strategy was established to promote a flexible design in the City's allocation of funds provided by HUD and CDBG to promote innovative programs in economically disadvantaged areas of the City. The NRS provides for enhanced regulatory flexibility in the program requirements for providing CDBG funds for economic development, housing and public service activities. In terms of economic development relief, the strategy allows job creation or retention efforts by businesses not be hampered by requiring them to track the income of people hired or retained. Economic development activities carried out in the approved neighborhood revitalization areas are also exempt from the aggregate public benefit standards. The relief for public service activities can be viewed in terms of the regulatory requirements that no more than 15% of the total CDBG allocation may be used for public services activities. Under this strategy, all public services offered within the subject neighborhoods and carried out as part of qualified projects by a Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) are exempt from the public service cap of 15%. Therefore, the City will be able to offer a more intensive level of service to stimulate revitalization. This allows the City to address some of the urgent needs of the disadvantaged community by offering job training and other related economic development assistance. In terms of housing relief, the revitalization strategy will allow the City to track scattered site housing units as a single strategy. This will enable the City to provide housing opportunities to not only very-low to low-income families, but to other families who earn between 80-120% of Area Median Income (AMI). This will increase the level of affordable housing units and thereby raise the income level of the neighborhood and in the process create a mixed-income community. There are several non-housing factors that cause a blighting influence on communities. They range from vacant boarded structures, to crime, to lack of commercial/retail activities. To help stimulate economic development opportunities within the North Greenwood Neighborhood, the City took several measures to ensure that the neighborhood would be stable. The City built a new 8,000sf library and a state-of-the-art aquatic/recreational center. In addition, the City provided roadway Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 30 of 33 enhancements on Martin Luther King Avenue from Seminole to Palm Bluff Avenue. These were provided from non-federal resources. The NRS includes two different neighborhoods - the North Greenwood Community and South Greenwood Community. They both have their own goals and objectives. The North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area has identified the following strategies to improve their neighborhood: • Eliminate poor conditions of structures • Remediate low-level contaminated sites • Reverse declining property values • Expand business opportunities • Create new investment opportunities in the neighborhood • Increase new job training and placement opportunities • Reduce the unemployment rate • Empower neighborhood residents to eliminate crime • Strengthen coordination of community organizations in the redevelopment effort The Lake Belleview (f.k.a. South Greenwood) Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area has the same general strategies of the North Greenwood Area. The Lake Belleview area would like to see the following: • Additional educational opportunities of businesses • A new neighborhood training facility • A new childcare facility • Job training opportunities • A community library • New homes • Better social services • Better collaboration of existing organizations • More crime awareness programs The City has taken several steps over the years to address the strategies in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. Steps include developing a flexible code enforcement program, purchasing and demolishing dilapidated buildings, working with local law enforcement to reduce crime, funding outreach programs and providing loans to small businesses. a. North Greenwood Listed below are projects the City has completed over the past few years in the North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. • North Greenwood Branch Library - (2003) • North Greenwood Recreation/Aquatic Complex - (2003) • North Greenwood Apartments Renovation - (2003) • North Greenwood Corridor Enhancements (2006) • North Greenwood Reclaimed Water In this reporting period, the City provided federal funding for several projects in the North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. They include: Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 31 of 33 Public Service Willa Carson Community Health Center $15,000 Public Service Homeless Emergency Project - Operational $12,000 Rental Housing Homeless Emergency Project-Fairburn Housing Projects $500,000 Acquisition Blue Chip Bar $535,000 TOTAL $1,062,000 Funding for these programs assisted in meeting some of the strategies identified in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. The funds provided to HEP enabled the organization to tear down the deteriorated structures to build new ones and reinvest in the community. The enhancements will expand business opportunities. b. Lake Belleview The City also is continuing their efforts to rehabilitate homes and develop infill housing in the Lake Belleview Area. For this reporting period the City, along with our Housing Partners, provided funding for one (1) infill home, one (1) down payment assistance loan, and one (1) rehabilitation loan in the Belleview Area. Through the general fund, the city built in 2004 for $2.9 million an aquatic/recreation complex, a skateboard park, a fishing pier on Lake Belleview and new baseball fields. On June 14, 2008, the City of Clearwater partnered with an international organization, Let Them Be Kids, to design and construct a new playground at the Ross Norton Recreation Complex. A volunteer committee led the program and recruited over 300 volunteers to build the playground and install new landscaping. The community chose to dedicate the playground to Arturo Huerta-Cruz, Clearwater's fallen soldier. In addition to providing much needed recreational opportunities, the playground also served as a catalyst to identify emerging community leaders, and helped bring the community together. The playground cost $200,000 raised from grants and corporate sponsors. c. East Gateway District In 2002, the 260-acre Clearwater Community Redevelopment Area was expanded to encompass 201 acres that included the East Gateway District, a distressed neighborhood that serves as the primary gateway to Clearwater's central business district and beaches. The expansion was viewed as a strategic approach to revitalize East Gateway, leverage public-private partnerships for economic development and housing, achieve stability in residential and business areas and increase redevelopment potential. The 176-acre East Gateway neighborhood is characterized by a mixed land use pattern of residential housing interspersed with pockets of poorly maintained rental properties and outdated strip commercial developments. The commercial sector is burdened with a declining business base, deteriorating infrastructure, a mismatch of uses and vacant storefronts. The neighborhood struggles with code issues, homelessness, high rental rates and a negative image of crime due to problematic land uses and businesses. Rerouting of a state road in 2005 diverted traffic away from East Gateway area. Significant decreases in traffic volumes have affected business activity in the neighborhood and further emphasized the need for a targeted Item # 5 Attachment number 2 Page 32 of 33 business development and investment strategy. The East Gateway Task Force, comprised of city staff, was formed in 2005 to develop strategies to bring about positive change in the neighborhood. The Task Force conducted a series of focus group meetings and neighborhood events in 2006 to gain an understanding of neighborhood issues, values and preferences. Input received through the public process was used in developing the East Gateway District Five- Year Action Program, which was adopted by the Community Redevelopment Agency at a public meeting on May 13, 2008. The goals of the Action Program are to: • Engage residents, businesses and other neighborhood interests in the creation and implementation of the action program; • Achieve neighborhood stability by addressing the social, economic and physical issues that plague the area; • Establish a unique and positive identity that instills neighborhood pride and sense of ownership; and • Revitalize the neighborhood to attract reinvestment in private property. The Action Program focuses on the following emphasis areas: 1) safety and security: 2) business environment; 3) neighborhood appearance; 4) economic growth and housing; and 5) Hispanic community integration. Generally, the Action Program will be implemented through: • Application of applicable objectives, policies and design guidelines to redevelopment projects during the site plan review process; • Use of the Public Amenities Incentive Pool; • Public strategies (e.g., Code revisions or new program to address a neighborhood issue); and • Capital improvements projects (public and private). Action Program activities have been assigned to one of two timeframes for implementation over the five-year program period-Years 1 - 2: FY 07/08-FY 08/09 and Years 3 - 5: FY 09/10-FY 11/12. For action items that address particularly challenging issues (chronically homeless) or are highly dependent on outside forces (real estate market), the timeframe to achieve the desired outcome may extend beyond the five-year program period. Such occurrences will be assessed and reported during the monitoring and evaluation process. On an annual basis in conjunction with the City budgeting process, actions items in the outer years (Years 3-5) will be moved into Years 1-2, as appropriate and feasible. While the city provides leadership, technical capabilities and funding for Action Program implementation, a partnership with community stakeholders is also key to achieving neighborhood goals. A new Public Outreach and Communications Plan guides the Task Force in engaging the diverse neighborhood interests in revitalization efforts. In late 2008, two community groups were organized - the East Gateway Stakeholders Advisory Group and the East Gateway Business and Neighbors Association. The city is currently coordinating with the Hispanic Outreach Center, a local social services agency, to capture input from Hispanic-Latino residents through focus groups discussions.

Under this bill, approval was granted for the creation of Section 420.9076 of the Florida Statute. This statute requires counties and cities receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds to appoint an eleven member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The statute further provides that the committee be made up of members from a specific industry or a specific group as identified in the statute. The requirement was largely met through the use of the City's existing Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB). The City Council adopted Resolution No. 08-15 that created and appointed the AHAC. The duties of the AHAC included reviewing policies and procedures, ordinances, land development regulations and the City's adopted comprehensive plan and recommending specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable housing. Per state statute, at a minimum, the AHAC reviewed and made recommendations on the following: (a) The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in F.S.163.3164 (7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects. (b) The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing. (c) The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. (d) The reservation of infrastructure capacity or housing for very-low income persons, low-income persons, and moderate- income persons. (e) The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts. (f) The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. (g) The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing. (h) The modification of street requirements for affordable housing. (i) The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. (j) The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. (k) The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-use developments. In July, the Economic Development and Housing Department contracted with Wade Trim, Inc. to help facilitate the process. Wade Trim coordinated the preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy in cooperation with the City's staff anddbVN"JW. The Local Housing Incentive Strategy encompasses the definition, vision, strategic focus areas and incentive recommendations in order to facilitate the development of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater. The AHAC convened on four separac*J8ns in order to develop and identify the value of affordable housing, identify the principles for Clearwater's affordable housing and develop a vision statement to be included as part of the Local Hosing Incentives Strategy. A separate focus group consisting of for- profit and non-profit affordable housing developers was also organized in order to gain additional insight and recommendations concerning the incentive strategies. The report highlights an affordable housing vision statement that was derived from input by board members. Additionally, AHAC members focused on the values that affordable housing brings to the City of Clearwater. The themes identified centered on the values that affordable housing supports a dynamic and competitive economy, improves the social well being that builds a sense of community, and ensures that the City's workforce can live within the City limits. Furthermore, the AHAC also identified and recommended provisions that would identify adaptive reuse practices, require triennial updates to the City's Local Housing Incentives Strategy, support design standards for affordable housing developers, improve communication and marketing channels for affordable housing, diversify financing resources, and support development of public and private partnerships for the provision of affordable housing. By statute, the initial report must be submitted to City Council by December 30, 2008. After the initial submission, the reports are due every three years on December 31st of the year preceding the submission of the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP). The City Council is being asked to review the Local Housing Incentives Strategy recommendations that were approved by the AHAC on November 19, 2008. By March 31, 2009, the City Council will be asked to adopt an amendment to the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) to incorporate the local housing incentive strategies it will implement for the City of Clearwater. The amendment must include, at a minimum, the State required incentive strategies specified above. Upon approval, the City of Clearwater is required to notify the State of its adoption of an amendment to its LHAP to incorporate the incentive strategies. The notice must also include a copy of the approved amended plan in order to comply with the SHIP programs participation guidelines.

Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and shares boundaries with the municipalities of Largo, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Belleair Beach and the Town of Belleair. Along with the cities of St. Petersburg and Tampa, Clearwater is one of the most urbanized areas within the Tampa Bay Region. According to estimates of the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) for 2007, the City of Clearwater has a population of 110,831. Population projections indicate that the City may have 121,352 permanent residents by 2020. 1®2 T® a The City of Clearwater actively participates in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) and receives funds to supplement part of the City's affordable housing programs. As a beneficiary of the SHIP Program, the City of Clearwater needs to fulfill the requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076, effective on July l st, 2008. The Statute requires all municipalities to: a) Establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) b) Prepare a Local Housing Incentives Strategy (LHIS) to facilitate the provision of affordable /workforce housing c) Amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan to include the recommendations of the LHIS.

Source: Florida Housing Coalition- Webinar-SNIP- Affordable Housing Advisory Committees, 2008 On dune 19th 2008, the City of Clearwater formed an eleven member AHAC representing those actively engaged in the provision of affordable housing. See Appendix A for the Ordinance 08-15 and the composition of the AHAC. The main duties of the Committee include recommending incentives for the provision of affordable housing based on a review of the City's established policies and procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations. Attachment number 1 Page 6 of 38 15 1® Process to develop the Local Housing Incentive Strategy (L I) The City's Economic Development and Housing Department retained Wade Trim to facilitate the process for the preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy (LHIS) to fulfill the requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076. In order to prepare the LHIS, staff and AHAC members actively participated in the following activities: Review of requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076 • Discussion regarding main issues/barriers affecting the production of affordable housing • Discussion with for-profit and non-profit developers to identify main barriers to the provision of affordable housing • Evaluation with staff and AHAC of the current regulations (comprehensive plan, code, and ordinances) that provide developer incentives for the provision of affordable housing Development of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy Attachment number 1 Page 7 of 38 16 1®4 Affc--4 ' Housing in 171 Housing Affordability Affordability refers to the capacity that all income levels have to access a "decent and adequate" housing unit within the housing market, either for rental or ownership. A measurement of attainable housing is based on an individual not expending more than 30% of their yearly total income on housing expenses. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines "Cost Burdened" as when a household expends more than the 30% threshold on housing costs. However, for some State programs the burden could be up to 35% depending on the individual capacity. A household that pays more than 50% of its yearly total income for housing costs is considered by HUD to be "Severely Cost Burdened." According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, in 2005, 32% of the City's households pay more than 30% of their income for housing. By comparison, 29% of households statewide are cost-burdened. A total of 14% of the City's households pay more than 50% of income for housing. The City's Comprehensive Plan defines affordable housing in Policy C.1.2.5: T.1.2.5 -Define Affordable Housing as any residential dwelling unit leased or owned by a household with a household income of one hundred twenty percent (120%) or less of the adjusted area median family income for Pinellas County, Florida, as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The rental rates for leased Workforce Affordable Housing Units shall not exceed the rates published by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for annual "Maximum Rents by Number of Bedroom Unit" for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For non-rental units, the sales price may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the average area price for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, as established by the annual revenue procedure which provides issuers of qualified mortgage bonds, as defined in Section 143(a) of the internal Revenue Code, and issuers of mortgage credit certificates, as defined in Section 25(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, with the nationwide average purchase price for the residences located in the United States." Attachment number 1 Page 8 of 38 17 Barriers and Incentives According to HUD, a regulatory barrier is "a public regulatory requirement, payment, or process that significantly impedes the development or availability of affordable housing without providing a commensurate health and/or safety benefit."' Understanding barriers is the first step to transform them into incentives for the supply of affordable housing. The AHAC took a comprehensive overview of affordable housing barriers to understand potential relationships of what, from the City's perspective, could be done to incentivize the supply of affordable housing. Chart 2, generally describes the barriers discussed. Chart 2 Affordable Housing Barriers This comprehensive approach helped the AHAC to look beyond the analysis required of Florida Statute 420.9076 and to prioritize recommendations. In that sense, the recommendations of the AHAC targeted areas and barriers within the domain of the City of Clearwater's basic responsibilities: provide policy direction through the City's comprehensive plan; provide incentives through the Community Development Code and facilitate information and the permitting process. I Stowell, C;Shelburne, M. (2004). Responding to HUD's Affordable Communities Initiative: Will It Make a Difference? The Practitioner Planner. American Planning Association. Winter 2004 Attachment number 1 Page 9 of 38 18 Issues in Supplying Affordable Housing Built-out communities, such as Clearwater, have pressures for the provision of affordable housing due to increased land values; the availability of vacant developable land; skyrocketing construction costs due to demand for building material supplies; and labor outpacing supply. In addition, other costs of home acquisition (i.e. property taxes and insurance) create a financial burden The AHAC identified the most significant issues for the provision of affordable housing for the City. The following summarizes the discussion: • Lack of land available to develop attainable housing projects. The decrease of vacant land results in competition for land needed to meet the public facility and infrastructure needs of the community but also for land needed to provide attainable housing. Given the restricted supply of vacant lands, the City and other attainable housing providers are competing with the private sector for these lands which make acquisition difficult and expensive. • Limited funding to invest in production and rehabilitation of attainable housing. Traditional "safety nets," such as Federal and State funding programs, have decreased since the year 2000. Currently, the Housing Division manages approximately $ 2.4 million per year provided through Federal and State programs such as HOME, SHIP and CDBG. • Unclear definition of the permitting process for affordable housing projects. The City has in place an expedited reviewing process for affordable housing development; however the process has been described as "lengthy" by some developers, thus increasing the costs of the housing units. • Land Development Code and Incentives. The City's land development code is very flexible to favor the construction of affordable housing; however, there are still some areas that need better definition and others where parameters need to be established. • Public Perception of Affordable Housing Developments. There is a public perception that affordable housing projects have a negative impact on neighborhoods. If they are not well designed and reflect the neighborhood character, they can contribute to decreasing neighborhood home values and safety. Attachment number 1 Page 10 of 38 19 • Limited information on City's Affordable Housing Incentives and Programs. The City has in place numerous programs and incentives to contribute to the supply of affordable housing; however the information is dispersed and needs to be better organized for the citizens, nonprofit and the private sector. • Maintaining the condition of the City's aging housing stock. Over half of the City's total housing stock is over twenty years old. It is particularly important for the City to help maintaining the health and safety of the existing housing stock as a source of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 11 of 38 1 10 In 2007, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1375 requiring cities and counties receiving SHIP funds to appoint an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). In 2008, the City of Clearwater formed an eleven member AHAC representing those actively engaged in the provision of affordable housing. The duties of the committee include recommending incentives for the provision of affordable housing based on a review of the City's established policies and procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations. The AHAC met to develop the City of Clearwater's vision, principles, strategies, and actions for the Local Housing Strategy. The Local Housing Incentives Strategy summarizes the input of the AHAC. .1 The Value c The AHAC held a discussion regarding the value that affordable housing brings to the City's development. The following themes were identified: A) Support a dynamic and competitive economy. There is an intrinsic relationship between a dynamic economy and affordable housing. The existence of affordable housing units is a variable that supports business location thus job creation. The City, which is nearly built-out, has the opportunity to capitalize on its existing urban fabric through urban renewal and infill development. Such investment in the City would have positive impacts on the local economy and increase Clearwater's ability to compete with other cities. B) Improve social well-being and build sense of community. Housing is a fundamental human need. Consideration of social well-being, including long-term housing stability, is imperative for the future of the City. There is a need for improved job opportunities, as well as for a simple, understandable process for achieving housing, especially for those in low to moderate-income households. Education and motivation for home ownership are also important aspects of the City's future. Attachment number 1 Page 12 of 38 1 11 C) Ensure that the City's workforce can live within the City. There is a growing need for affordable "workforce" housing within the community, specifically for police, fire, and other service employees. There is also a need to draw the workforce back into the City to reduce commute distances, to reduce crime, and to restore a sense of pride in the community. . Principles for Cie --'s Aff- ®! u Based on AHAC discussions, the provision of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater should embrace the following principles: 1) Affordable over the long -term Affordable housing is readily available, and reasonably-priced; mortgage rates for affordable housing are structured to allow people to keep their homes over the long-term. Rental rates for affordable housing are fair and reasonable; and the cost of maintaining a home (e.g. fees, maintenance, etc.) is practical. 2) Diverse and provides for a mix of income levels Affordable housing is comprised of diverse housing types and supports a mix of income levels, incorporating rental and ownership opportunities. 3) Sustainable, well-designed and barrier-free Affordable housing uses innovative and sustainable materials and technologies. Its design is aesthetically pleasing and blends into the architectural fabric of the community. Structures are safe, functional and aesthetic. Floor plans are designed for "living" and construction materials, including fixtures, are energy efficient. In addition, housing is handicapped accessible. 4) In character with the surrounding neighborhood Affordable housing is sited in a manner that enhances the existing character of neighborhoods and provides safe open spaces. Public spaces are visible but well- landscaped so as to blend into the context of the neighborhood. Fences or other barriers are architectural and transparent. Attachment number 1 Page 13 of 38 1 12 5) Strategically-located, and pedestrian-oriented with access to mass transit and open spaces. Affordable housing is located near employment centers and civic facilities. Residents enjoy pedestrian-oriented facilities with access to mass transit and open spaces. . Vision In order to develop a vision for affordable housing as part of the Local Housing Incentives Strategy, the AHAC summarized the value of providing affordable housing for the City as well as the principles. The following statement summarizes the Vision of Affordable Housing for the City: The City of Clearwater will encourage the development of a diverse supply of housing that is safe, affordable, sustainable, and well-designed that blends into the character of the City's neighborhoods, which supports a diverse, inclusive community.

IS2 The following provides synopses of the City's current practices regarding affordable housing, including policies, procedures, ordinances, and regulations, and outlines the AHAC's recommendations regarding incentives for the provision of affordable housing. These recommendations were developed after several meetings with AHAC, the city's staff and interested stakeholders from September to November 19th, 2008. The following provides a relationship of these meetings: 08/21 /2008 Meeting with staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department, Planning Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 09/09/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/06/2008 Focus group with the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department, affordable housing developers and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/14/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/28/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 1 1 /13/2008 Meeting with staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Planning Department. 1 1 /19/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. On November 19, 2008, the AHAC met to review the products of the process and to finalize its recommendations regarding affordable housing incentives. The following represents the AHAC's final recommendations, inclusive of all changes made during the November 19, 2008 AHAC meeting. z All references made to the Comprehensive Plan (EAR Based Amendments) are drawn from the draft dated 07-30-2008 from http://www.clearwater-fl.com/gov/depts/planning/EAR_amend.asp. Policy numbers may change when the final document is approved by the City Council. Attachment number 1 Page 15 of 38 1 14 Incentive No. 1 The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in s. 163.3164(7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects. Review Synopsis: As a procedure, the Planning Department already expedites the review process for any site plan, land use plan amendment, rezoning, or annexation application for an affordable housing project within the City of Clearwater. The interested party should complete the form, "Notice of Affordable Housing Project" (see Appendix A), to formalize the request. The form is available through the Economic Development and Housing Department. Some affordable housing projects (rehabilitation or new construction) are approved administratively; otherwise the project goes to the immediate next session of the Community Development Board. Despite the existence of the form, there are still some procedural and administrative issues that need to be improved to achieve timely development review for affordable housing. Recommendations: 7.7 Continue to use the "Notice of Affordable Housing Project" form to fast-track affordable housing projects. 7.2 Create the role of Affordable Housing Facilitator or Ombudsman. " The facilitator should be the first point of contact in the City when submitting affordable housing projects. The facilitator should.- • Create and oversee, in coordination with the City's Planning Department, an affordable housing "One Stop Streamline Permitting Process." • Act as a liaison between the developer and all departments involved in the review and permitting process. • Organize and participate in the pre-application meetings. • Provide necessary information and forms to the developer to avoid delays during the application and review process. Attachment number 1 Page 16 of 38 1 15 • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a project requirement checklist for each type of affordable housing project (i.e., site and building review. • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a project process checklist for each type of affordable housing (i.e., site and building review). • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a feasible timeline review for affordable housing projects considering variables such as the type, size and impact in the community. • Release to the applicant and all City departments involved at once, written statements for additional requirements and project determinations. • Determine a definitive time period for completion of reviews. • Track the review process through specific forms and communications. • Report to the developer the status of the application. 7.3 Improve customer service toward potential project applicants by.- 0 Maintaining a positive attitude • Offering a quick response time via email or phone calls • Making available project requirements and forms • Utilizing new technology to enhance administrative efficiencies AHAC Action: The commmittee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Attachment number 1 Page 17 of 38 1 16 Incentive No. 2 The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The AHAC and the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendments recognize how impact fees and permitting fees increase the costs of affordable housing. However, it is also true that affordable housing developments also create demand for public infrastructure as do other types of housing development. Transportation impact fees cannot be legally waived for affordable housing projects as described by the "Florida Impact Fee Act," F.S. 163.31801. Current transportation impact fees collected by Pinellas County are $2,066 for single family and $1,420 for multifamily units. In addition to the current impact fees, the City charges fees to issue a variety of review, permits and certifications for affordable housing projects (plan examination, plan amendments, certificates of occupancy, etc.). The current fee structure as established in Appendix A (schedule of fees, rates and charges) of the Community Development Code is based upon the value of the housing unit, recognizing the impact on affordable housing developments. The City does not have any ordinances or regulations in place to reduce, or refund existing impact fees or other fees for affordable housing developments. Recommendation: 2.7 Prepare a study to determine the financial, legal, and administrative feasibility of reducing, refunding or re-defining (by unit size the costs) impact fees and other fees related to the development of affordable housing. Consideration should be given to provide cost relief as housing units follow `green building parameters. " AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 2.1 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 18 of 38 1 17 Incentive No. 3 The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City encourages flexible densities for affordable housing developments in both the Future Land Use Element and the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The following policy in the Future Land Use Element allows for flexible densities: "Policy A.2.2.7 - The City will provide density bonuses to developers of affordable housing and/or mixed-income developments based on recommendations established in the City's Local Housing Assistance Plan and implemented through the City's Community Development Code." The following policies in the Housing Element allow for flexible densities: "Policy C.1.9.1 - Permit density increases for development projects incorporating affordable housing units." "Policy C.1.9.4 - Through the Downtown Public Amenities Incentive Pool, density increases shall be available to projects incorporating affordable housing units." The City grants flexible densities to developers through the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. Such uses fall into two categories: flexible standard development and flexible development. Flexible standard development applications typically require Level One approval, which involves review by City staff only, including the City's Development Review Coordinator and Development Review Committee. Flexible development applications typically require Level Two approval, which involves review by the Community Development Board. Some applications, however, warrant additional review. These applications require Level Three approval, which involve greater complexity and require action by the City Council. Attachment number 1 Page 19 of 38 1 18 Currently, projects typically associated with affordable housing, such as Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects, fall under flexible development and are Level Two uses. For example, Section 2-701.1 of the Community Development Code sets the maximum development potential for the Commercial ("C") zoning district, however this maximum may be reconsidered if the use falls under Section 2-704 flexible development. Section 2-704 defines the criteria for flexibility for the Commercial zoning district, which includes Section 2-704, Flexibility Criteria C.5.d, "...the proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing." Recommendation: 3.7 Continue to provide allowance of density flexibility for affordable housing developments. 3.2 Establish specific parameters to grant density flexibility for affordable housing projects as allowed in the Community Development Code within the different zoning districts. 3.3 Evaluate whether or not density allowance for the project could be defined prior to formal submission of the civil/site engineering requirements. In this case density will be awarded with the condition to the final submission of civil/site engineering requirements. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 20 of 38 1 19 Incentive No. 4 The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons. Review Synopsis: The City does not require reservation of infrastructure capacity specifically for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons. The City is already built-out and has excess capacity for all its public facilities thus there is no need to reserve any "infrastructure capacity." Furthermore, the Planning Department closely monitors that all concurrency requirements are met so that enough infrastructure capacity is in place at the time of any type of new development. The Capital Improvements Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies: "Policy 32.3.2 - The City shall determine, prior to the issuance of development orders, whether sufficient capacity of essential public facilities to meet the minimum standards for levels of service for the existing population and a proposed development will be available concurrent with the impacts of the proposed development." Recommendation: We do not recommend that the City of Clearwater include the reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons as an incentive for the provision of affordable housing. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and does not recommend the reservation of infrastructure capacity an incentive for the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 21 of 38 1 20 Incentive No. 5 The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts. Review Synopsis: The City encourages affordable accessory residential units in both the Future Land Use Element and the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The following policy in the Future Land Use Element supports the provision of accessory residential units: "Policy A.6.1.12 - The City of Clearwater will continue to promote infill development and redevelopment to provide opportunities and conditions for the provision of accessory dwelling units." The following policy in the Housing Element supports the provision of accessory residential units in residential areas: "Policy C.1.9.5 - Accessory dwelling units may be permitted in certain areas of the Downtown, as an accessory use to a single-family or two-family dwelling, provided that sufficient parking exists." Additionally, the City allows for the provision of accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts, including the City's Commercial ("C"), Tourist ("T"), Downtown ("D"), Office ("O"), Institutional ("I"), and IRT districts, as described in the Community Development Code. Recommendation: 5.7 Continue to allow for accessory dwelling units in both nonresidential and residential zoning districts as described within the City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 5.1 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 22 of 38 1 21 Incentive No. 6 The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City encourages the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing in the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The following policy in the Housing Element supports the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing: "Policy C.1.9.2 - Allow flexibility with regard to setbacks and off-street parking to accommodate density bonuses associated with affordable housing developments provided the project design does not detract from the established or emerging character of the immediate vicinity." "Policy C.1.9.3 - Allow flexibility with regard to off-street parking for projects containing affordable housing units located within 1,000 feet of a transit stop." Moreover, the City currently allows flexible parking and setback requirements for affordable housing through the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. According to the Community Development Code, setback requirements shall be consistent with the minimum standard requirements of the applicable zoning district, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to flexibility criteria in that district, which vary depending on the use. For example, attached dwellings, residential infill projects, comprehensive infill redevelopment projects, or other uses that could provide affordable housing, may qualify as Level Two uses, allowing for flexible development standards, including setbacks. Furthermore, the Community Development Code allows for the reduction of parking requirements for affordable housing wherever residential uses are permissible: "Article 3, Section 3-919 - The minimum off-street parking requirement for affordable housing units, as defined by the City of Clearwater Economic Attachment number 1 Page 23 of 38 1 22 Development and Housing Department, may be reduced to one parking space per unit in any zoning district where residential uses are permitted." Recommendation: 6.7 Continue to allow flexible setback requirements for affordable housing developments. 6.2 Continue to allow for the reduction of off-street parking requirements based upon the provision of affordable housing units as per Article 3, Section 3-979 of the Community Development Code. 6.3 Continue to tie reductions of off-street parking requirements to proximity and access to alternative modes of transportation, including transit, sidewalks, trails, or other options. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 24 of 38 1 23 Incentive No. 7 The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: A legal lot of record, by definition, has fixed boundaries by a plat recorded in the Official Records of Pinellas County. It is therefore assumed that this incentive is intended to address flexible site plan configurations, rather than single flexible lot configurations. As such, the City currently allows for site plan flexibility through the development review process, as supported by the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. Such criteria may allow for more flexible site plan configurations, but may also require an improved site plan to document how the flexibility will result in better design and/or appearance. For example, the flexibility criteria tied to residential infill projects within the High Density Residential ("HDR") District include: "Article 2, Section 2-504 (F.6) The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function which enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole; (F.7) Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are justified by the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole..." The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing, must be sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods. Recommendation: 7.7 Continue to allow flexible lot configurations for affordable housing developments while remaining sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods.

Attachment number 1 Page 26 of 38 1 25 Incentive No.8 The modification of street requirements for affordable housing Review Synopsis: Currently, all streets must conform to the City's street standards as defined in Article 3, Section 3-1904 of the City's Community Development Code: "Article 3, Section 3-1904 - (A) The functional classification, arrangement, character, extent, width and location of all streets shall conform to the thoroughfare element of the comprehensive plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical and environmental conditions, public convenience and safety, and their appropriate relationship to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets." The Community Development Code specifies minimum right-of-way and lane designations for each classification of roadway, including neighborhood roads. A minimum pavement width of 24 feet plus curb is required for all neighborhood roads, 26 feet plus curb for all local roads, and 37 feet for all collector roads. Such requirements are in place to benefit public health and safety. The City's Community Development Code requires that all streets be improved by a developer with paving, curbs or gutters, and sidewalks or on-street parking where necessary. These standards apply to all development, including affordable housing projects. Since the City of Clearwater is largely built-out, the City's infrastructure system is already in place and it is not likely that affordable housing projects will need to provide local or collector roads. At most, such projects may require the provision of neighborhood roads internal to the site. Recommendation: Because such standards are in place to benefit public health and safety, we do not recommend that the City utilize the modification of street requirements as an incentive for affordable housing.

Review Synopsis: Currently, the City has a process in place by which it considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. The Economic Development and Housing Department usually receives most regulations and ordinances and participates in the review process. When reviewing, the department usually specifies whether any of the provisions may affect the cost of housing. Recommendation: 9.7 The Economic Development and Housing Department should continue to review a# regulations and ordinances that may affect the cost of housing. 9.2 Establish a formal process by which any new regulatory instrument created in the City (Ordinances, regulations, etc.) can be evaluated for its effect on housing affordability. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 9.1 and 9.2 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 1 Page 29 of 38 1 28 Incentive No. 10 The preparation of a printed inventory of locally-owned public /ands suitable for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City of Clearwater is already built-out. According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, vacant developable land in Clearwater has been reduced from approximately 1,034 acres in 1989, to approximately 600 acres in 1996, and then further reduced to 420 acres in 2005. Most of these parcels are less than one acre in size. Infill development, urban conservation, and urban renewal strategies will continue to dictate future development. The City maintains an inventory of locally-owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. As of 2008, there are 29 parcels of publicly-owned land suitable for the development of affordable housing. Most of these lands are located in and surrounding the Downtown Area. Due to the lack of affordable land to develop affordable housing, the City offers development flexibility through the Community Development Code to help developers interested in providing affordable housing through infill and redevelopment projects. The City's Future Land Use Element proposes a number of activity centers throughout the City as part of the City's Design Structure. Policies A.5.4.4 and A.5.4.7 encourage redevelopment activities to support the provision of affordable housing: "Policy A.5.4.4 - Missouri Avenue from Drew Street to Belleair Road. The creation of affordable housing and mixed-use development should be supported, and lot consolidation and streetscape improvements should be encouraged." "Policy A.5.4.7 - South Fort Harrison Avenue from A Street to E Street. Amendments to the Future Land Use Plan and Zoning Atlas may be considered to promote affordable housing, mixed-use development, and to support the emerging character of the area and Morton Plant Hospital."

Review Synopsis: The Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan supports the location of residential uses within "mass transit and neighborhood-serving land uses" and near transit lines: "Policy A.2.2.2 - Residential land uses shall be appropriately located on local and minor collector streets; if appropriately buffered; they may be located on major collector and arterial streets. Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks, schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses." "Policy A.6.8.7 - Create mixed-use, higher density and livable communities through design and layout, near existing transit lines as well as proposed TBARTA lines and stations. Also support walks ability concepts near projected TBARTA stations." In addition, the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan states: "Policy C.1.4.2 - Assisted housing should be located in close proximity to employment centers, mass transit services, parks, and commercial centers."

Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and shares boundaries with the municipalities of Largo, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Belleair Beach and the Town of Belleair. Along with the cities of St. Petersburg and Tampa, Clearwater is one of the most urbanized areas within the Tampa Bay Region. According to estimates of the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) for 2007, the City of Clearwater has a population of 110,831. Population projections indicate that the City may have 121,352 permanent residents by 2020. 1®2 T® a The City of Clearwater actively participates in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) and receives funds to supplement part of the City's affordable housing programs. As a beneficiary of the SHIP Program, the City of Clearwater needs to fulfill the requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076, effective on July l st, 2008. The Statute requires all municipalities to: a) Establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) b) Prepare a Local Housing Incentives Strategy (LHIS) to facilitate the provision of affordable /workforce housing c) Amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan to include the recommendations of the LHIS.

See Appendix A for the Ordinance 08-15 and the composition of the AHAC. The main duties of the Committee include recommending incentives for the provision of affordable housing based on a review of the City's established policies and procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations. Attachment number 3 Page 6 of 36 15 1® Process to develop the Local Housing Incentive Strategy (L I) The City's Economic Development and Housing Department retained Wade Trim to facilitate the process for the preparation of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy (LHIS) to fulfill the requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076. In order to prepare the LHIS, staff and AHAC members actively participated in the following activities: Review of requirements of Florida Statute 420.9076 • Discussion regarding main issues/barriers affecting the production of affordable housing • Discussion with for-profit and non-profit developers to identify main barriers to the provision of affordable housing • Evaluation with staff and AHAC of the current regulations (comprehensive plan, code, and ordinances) that provide developer incentives for the provision of affordable housing Development of the Local Housing Incentive Strategy Attachment number 3 Page 7 of 36 16 1®4 Affc--4 ' Housing in 171 Housing Affordability Affordability refers to the capacity that all income levels have to access a "decent and adequate" housing unit within the housing market, either for rental or ownership. A measurement of attainable housing is based on an individual not expending more than 30% of their yearly total income on housing expenses. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines "Cost Burdened" as when a household expends more than the 30% threshold on housing costs. However, for some State programs the burden could be up to 35% depending on the individual capacity. A household that pays more than 50% of its yearly total income for housing costs is considered by HUD to be "Severely Cost Burdened." According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, in 2005, 32% of the City's households pay more than 30% of their income for housing. By comparison, 29% of households statewide are cost-burdened. A total of 14% of the City's households pay more than 50% of income for housing. The City's Comprehensive Plan defines affordable housing in Policy C.1.2.5: T.1.2.5 -Define Affordable Housing as any residential dwelling unit leased or owned by a household with a household income of one hundred twenty percent (120%) or less of the adjusted area median family income for Pinellas County, Florida, as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The rental rates for leased Workforce Affordable Housing Units shall not exceed the rates published by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for annual "Maximum Rents by Number of Bedroom Unit" for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For non-rental units, the sales price may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the average area price for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, as established by the annual revenue procedure which provides issuers of qualified mortgage bonds, as defined in Section 143(a) of the internal Revenue Code, and issuers of mortgage credit certificates, as defined in Section 25(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, with the nationwide average purchase price for the residences located in the United States." Attachment number 3 Page 8 of 36 17 Barriers and Incentives According to HUD, a regulatory barrier is "a public regulatory requirement, payment, or process that significantly impedes the development or availability of affordable housing without providing a commensurate health and/or safety benefit."' Understanding barriers is the first step to transform them into incentives for the supply of affordable housing. The AHAC took a comprehensive overview of affordable housing barriers to understand potential relationships of what, from the City's perspective, could be done to incentivize the supply of affordable housing. Chart 2, generally describes the barriers discussed. Chart 2 Affordable Housing Barriers This comprehensive approach helped the AHAC to look beyond the analysis required of Florida Statute 420.9076 and to prioritize recommendations. In that sense, the recommendations of the AHAC targeted areas and barriers within the domain of the City of Clearwater's basic responsibilities: provide policy direction through the City's comprehensive plan; provide incentives through the Community Development Code and facilitate information and the permitting process. I Stowell, C;Shelburne, M. (2004). Responding to HUD's Affordable Communities Initiative: Will It Make a Difference? The Practitioner Planner. American Planning Association. Winter 2004 Attachment number 3 Page 9 of 36 18 Issues in Supplying Affordable Housing Built-out communities, such as Clearwater, have pressures for the provision of affordable housing due to increased land values; the availability of vacant developable land; skyrocketing construction costs due to demand for building material supplies; and labor outpacing supply. In addition, other costs of home acquisition (i.e. property taxes and insurance) create a financial burden The AHAC identified the most significant issues for the provision of affordable housing for the City. The following summarizes the discussion: • Lack of land available to develop attainable housing projects. The decrease of vacant land results in competition for land needed to meet the public facility and infrastructure needs of the community but also for land needed to provide attainable housing. Given the restricted supply of vacant lands, the City and other attainable housing providers are competing with the private sector for these lands which make acquisition difficult and expensive. • Limited funding to invest in production and rehabilitation of attainable housing. Traditional "safety nets," such as Federal and State funding programs, have decreased since the year 2000. Currently, the Housing Division manages approximately $ 2.4 million per year provided through Federal and State programs such as HOME, SHIP and CDBG. • Unclear definition of the permitting process for affordable housing projects. The City has in place an expedited reviewing process for affordable housing development; however the process has been described as "lengthy" by some developers, thus increasing the costs of the housing units. • Land Development Code and Incentives. The City's land development code is very flexible to favor the construction of affordable housing; however, there are still some areas that need better definition and others where parameters need to be established. • Public Perception of Affordable Housing Developments. There is a public perception that affordable housing projects have a negative impact on neighborhoods. If they are not well designed and reflect the neighborhood character, they can contribute to decreasing neighborhood home values and safety. Attachment number 3 Page 10 of 36 19 • Limited information on City's Affordable Housing Incentives and Programs. The City has in place numerous programs and incentives to contribute to the supply of affordable housing; however the information is dispersed and needs to be better organized for the citizens, nonprofit and the private sector. • Maintaining the condition of the City's aging housing stock. Over half of the City's total housing stock is over twenty years old. It is particularly important for the City to help maintaining the health and safety of the existing housing stock as a source of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 11 of 36 1 10 In 2007, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1375 requiring cities and counties receiving SHIP funds to appoint an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). In 2008, the City of Clearwater formed an eleven member AHAC representing those actively engaged in the provision of affordable housing. The duties of the committee include recommending incentives for the provision of affordable housing based on a review of the City's established policies and procedures, ordinances, and land development regulations. The AHAC met to develop the City of Clearwater's vision, principles, strategies, and actions for the Local Housing Strategy. The Local Housing Incentives Strategy summarizes the input of the AHAC. .1 The Value c The AHAC held a discussion regarding the value that affordable housing brings to the City's development. The following themes were identified: A) Support a dynamic and competitive economy. There is an intrinsic relationship between a dynamic economy and affordable housing. The existence of affordable housing units is a variable that supports business location thus job creation. The City, which is nearly built-out, has the opportunity to capitalize on its existing urban fabric through urban renewal and infill development. Such investment in the City would have positive impacts on the local economy and increase Clearwater's ability to compete with other cities. B) Improve social well-being and build sense of community. Housing is a fundamental human need. Consideration of social well-being, including long-term housing stability, is imperative for the future of the City. There is a need for improved job opportunities, as well as for a simple, understandable process for achieving housing, especially for those in low to moderate-income households. Education and motivation for home ownership are also important aspects of the City's future. Attachment number 3 Page 12 of 36 1 11 C) Ensure that the City's workforce can live within the City. There is a growing need for affordable "workforce" housing within the community, specifically for police, fire, and other service employees. There is also a need to draw the workforce back into the City to reduce commute distances, to reduce crime, and to restore a sense of pride in the community. . Principles for Cie --'s Aff- ®! u Based on AHAC discussions, the provision of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater should embrace the following principles: 1) Affordable over the long -term Affordable housing is readily available, and reasonably-priced; mortgage rates for affordable housing are structured to allow people to keep their homes over the long-term. Rental rates for affordable housing are fair and reasonable; and the cost of maintaining a home (e.g. fees, maintenance, etc.) is practical. 2) Diverse and provides for a mix of income levels Affordable housing is comprised of diverse housing types and supports a mix of income levels, incorporating rental and ownership opportunities. 3) Sustainable, well-designed and barrier-free Affordable housing uses innovative and sustainable materials and technologies. Its design is aesthetically pleasing and blends into the architectural fabric of the community. Structures are safe, functional and aesthetic. Floor plans are designed for "living" and construction materials, including fixtures, are energy efficient. In addition, housing is handicapped accessible. 4) In character with the surrounding neighborhood Affordable housing is sited in a manner that enhances the existing character of neighborhoods and provides safe open spaces. Public spaces are visible but well- landscaped so as to blend into the context of the neighborhood. Fences or other barriers are architectural and transparent. Attachment number 3 Page 13 of 36 1 12 5) Strategically-located, and pedestrian-oriented with access to mass transit and open spaces. Affordable housing is located near employment centers and civic facilities. Residents enjoy pedestrian-oriented facilities with access to mass transit and open spaces. . Vision In order to develop a vision for affordable housing as part of the Local Housing Incentives Strategy, the AHAC summarized the value of providing affordable housing for the City as well as the principles. The following statement summarizes the Vision of Affordable Housing for the City: The City of Clearwater will encourage the development of a diverse supply of housing that is safe, affordable, sustainable, and well-designed that blends into the character of the City's neighborhoods, which supports a diverse, inclusive community.

IS2 The following provides synopses of the City's current practices regarding affordable housing, including policies, procedures, ordinances, and regulations, and outlines the AHAC's recommendations regarding incentives for the provision of affordable housing. These recommendations were developed after several meetings with AHAC, the city's staff and interested stakeholders from September to November 19th, 2008. The following provides a relationship of these meetings: 08/21 /2008 Meeting with staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department, Planning Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 09/09/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/06/2008 Focus group with the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department, affordable housing developers and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/14/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 10/28/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. 1 1 /13/2008 Meeting with staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Planning Department. 1 1 /19/2008 Meeting with the AHAC, the staff of the Economic Development and Housing Department and Wade Trim, Inc. On November 19, 2008, the AHAC met to review the products of the process and to finalize its recommendations regarding affordable housing incentives. The following represents the AHAC's final recommendations, inclusive of all changes made during the November 19, 2008 AHAC meeting. z All references made to the Comprehensive Plan (EAR Based Amendments) are drawn from the draft dated 12-18-2008. Attachment number 3 Page 15 of 36 1 14 Incentive No. 1 The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in s. 163.3164(7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects. Review Synopsis: As a procedure, the Planning Department already expedites the review process for any site plan, land use plan amendment, rezoning, or annexation application for an affordable housing project within the City of Clearwater. The interested party should complete the form, "Notice of Affordable Housing Project" (see Appendix A), to formalize the request. The form is available through the Economic Development and Housing Department. Some affordable housing projects (rehabilitation or new construction) are approved administratively; otherwise the project goes to the immediate next session of the Community Development Board. Despite the existence of the form, there are still some procedural and administrative issues that need to be improved to achieve timely development review for affordable housing. Recommendations: 7.7 Continue to use the "Notice of Affordable Housing Project" form to fast-track affordable housing projects. 7.2 Create the role of Affordable Housing Facilitator or Ombudsman. " The facilitator should be the first point of contact in the City when submitting affordable housing projects. The facilitator should.- • Create and oversee, in coordination with the City's Planning Department, an affordable housing "One Stop Streamline Permitting Process." • Act as a liaison between the developer and all departments involved in the review and permitting process. • Organize and participate in the pre-application meetings. • Provide necessary information and forms to the developer to avoid delays during the application and review process. Attachment number 3 Page 16 of 36 1 15 • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a project requirement checklist for each type of affordable housing project (i.e., site and building review. • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a project process checklist for each type of affordable housing (i.e., site and building review). • Create, in coordination with the Planning Department, a feasible timeline review for affordable housing projects considering variables such as the type, size and impact in the community. • Release to the applicant and all City departments involved at once, written statements for additional requirements and project determinations. • Determine a definitive time period for completion of reviews. • Track the review process through specific forms and communications. • Report to the developer the status of the application. 7.3 Improve customer service toward potential project applicants by.- 0 Maintaining a positive attitude • Offering a quick response time via email or phone calls • Making available project requirements and forms • Utilizing new technology to enhance administrative efficiencies AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Attachment number 3 Page 17 of 36 1 16 Incentive No. 2 The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The AHAC and the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendments recognize how impact fees and permitting fees increase the costs of affordable housing. However, it is also true that affordable housing developments also create demand for public infrastructure as do other types of housing development. Transportation impact fees cannot be legally waived for affordable housing projects as described by the "Florida Impact Fee Act," F.S. 163.31801. Current transportation impact fees collected by Pinellas County are $2,066 for single family and $1,420 for multifamily units. In addition to the current impact fees, the City charges fees to issue a variety of review, permits and certifications for affordable housing projects (plan examination, plan amendments, certificates of occupancy, etc.). The current fee structure as established in Appendix A (schedule of fees, rates and charges) of the Community Development Code is based upon the value of the housing unit, recognizing the impact on affordable housing developments. The City does not have any ordinances or regulations in place to reduce, or refund existing impact fees or other fees for affordable housing developments. Recommendation: 2.7 Prepare a study to determine the financial, legal, and administrative feasibility of reducing, refunding or re-defining (by unit size the costs) impact fees and other fees related to the development of affordable housing. Consideration should be given to provide cost relief as housing units follow `green building parameters. " AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 2.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 18 of 36 1 17 Incentive No. 3 The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City encourages flexible densities for affordable housing developments in both the Future Land Use Element and the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The following policy in the Future Land Use Element allows for flexible densities: "Policy A.2.2.7 - The City will provide density bonuses for affordable housing developments that demonstrate that a minimum of 15% of the total units are reserved as affordable housing units. Such bonuses shall not exceed 50% of the density permitted by the Future Land Use Map and shall not include properties located in the Coastal Storm Area. The density bonus shall be established by ordinance in the Community Development Code". The same policy applies to Housing Element as policy C.1 .9.1: "Policy C.1.9.1 - The City will provide density bonuses for affordable housing developments that demonstrate that a minimum of 15% of the total units are reserved as affordable housing units. Such bonuses shall not exceed 50% of the density permitted by the Future Land Use Map and shall not include properties located in the Coastal Storm Area. The density bonus shall be established by ordinance in the Community Development Code." The City grants flexible densities to developers through the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. Such uses fall into two categories: flexible standard development and flexible development. Flexible standard development applications typically require Level One approval, which involves review by City staff only, including the City's Development Review Coordinator and Development Review Committee. Flexible development applications typically require Level Two approval, which involves review by the Community Development Board. Some applications, however, warrant additional review. These Attachment number 3 Page 19 of 36 1 18 applications require Level Three approval, which involve greater complexity and require action by the City Council. Currently, projects typically associated with affordable housing, such as Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects, fall under flexible development and are Level Two uses. For example, Section 2-701.1 of the Community Development Code sets the maximum development potential for the Commercial ("C") zoning district, however this maximum may be reconsidered if the use falls under Section 2-704 flexible development. Section 2-704 defines the criteria for flexibility for the Commercial zoning district, which includes Section 2-704, Flexibility Criteria C.5.d, "...the proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing." Recommendation: 3.7 Continue to provide allowance of density flexibility for affordable housing developments. 3.2 Establish specific parameters to grant density flexibility for affordable housing projects as allowed in the Community Development Code within the different zoning districts. 3.3 Evaluate whether or not density allowance for the project could be defined prior to formal submission of the civil/site engineering requirements. In this case density will be awarded with the condition to the final submission of civil/site engineering requirements. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 20 of 36 1 19 Incentive No. 4 The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons. Review Synopsis: The City does not require reservation of infrastructure capacity specifically for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons. The City is already built-out and has excess capacity for all its public facilities thus there is no need to reserve any "infrastructure capacity." Furthermore, the Planning Department closely monitors that all concurrency requirements are met so that enough infrastructure capacity is in place at the time of any type of new development. The Capital Improvements Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies: "Policy 1.1.3.2 - The City shall determine, prior to the issuance of development orders, whether sufficient capacity of essential public facilities to meet the minimum standards for levels of service for the existing population and a proposed development will be available concurrent with the impacts of the proposed development. The applicable water supplier shall be consulted prior to the issuance of a building permit to ensure potable water will be available prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy." Recommendation: We do not recommend that the City of Clearwater include the reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons as an incentive for the provision of affordable housing. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and does not recommend the reservation of infrastructure capacity an incentive for the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 21 of 36 1 20 Incentive No. 5 The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts. Review Synopsis: The City allows for the provision of accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts, including the City's Commercial ("C"), Tourist ("T"), Downtown ("D"), Office ("O"), Institutional ("I"), and IRT districts, as described in the Community Development Code. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan in the Housing Element states: "Policy C.1.1.8 -The City may permit one accessory dwelling unit per lot wherever such units can be accommodated by adequate lot area, and provided that they meet strict compliance standards such as building restrictions, visual buffering, parking and other requirements to be developed for inclusion in the Community Development Code." The City is considering further study of affordable accessory residential dwelling units. Recommendation: 5.7 Continue to allow for accessory dwelling units in both nonresidential and residential zoning districts as described within the City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 5.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 22 of 36 1 21 Incentive No. 6 The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City encourages the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing in the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The following policy in the Housing Element supports the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing: "Policy C.1.9.2 - Allow flexibility with regard to setbacks and off-street parking to accommodate density bonuses associated with affordable housing developments provided the project design does not detract from the established or emerging character of the immediate vicinity." "Policy C.1.9.3 - Allow flexibility with regard to off-street parking for projects containing affordable housing units located within 1,000 feet of a transit stop." Moreover, the City currently allows flexible parking and setback requirements for affordable housing through the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. According to the Community Development Code, setback requirements shall be consistent with the minimum standard requirements of the applicable zoning district, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to flexibility criteria in that district, which vary depending on the use. For example, attached dwellings, residential infill projects, comprehensive infill redevelopment projects, or other uses that could provide affordable housing, may qualify as Level Two uses, allowing for flexible development standards, including setbacks. Furthermore, the Community Development Code allows for the reduction of parking requirements for affordable housing wherever residential uses are permissible: "Article 3, Section 3-919 - The minimum off-street parking requirement for affordable housing units, as defined by the City of Clearwater Economic Attachment number 3 Page 23 of 36 1 22 Development and Housing Department, may be reduced to one parking space per unit in any zoning district where residential uses are permitted." Recommendation: 6.7 Continue to allow flexible setback requirements for affordable housing developments. 6.2 Continue to allow for the reduction of off-street parking requirements based upon the provision of affordable housing units as per Article 3, Section 3-979 of the Community Development Code. 6.3 Continue to tie reductions of off-street parking requirements to proximity and access to alternative modes of transportation, including transit, sidewalks, trails, or other options. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 24 of 36 1 23 Incentive No. 7 The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: A legal lot of record, by definition, has fixed boundaries by a plat recorded in the Official Records of Pinellas County. It is therefore assumed that this incentive is intended to address flexible site plan configurations, rather than single flexible lot configurations. As such, the City currently allows for site plan flexibility through the development review process, as supported by the City's Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. Such criteria may allow for more flexible site plan configurations, but may also require an improved site plan to document how the flexibility will result in better design and/or appearance. For example, the flexibility criteria tied to residential infill projects within the High Density Residential ("HDR") District include: "Article 2, Section 2-504 (F.6) The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function which enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole; (F.7) Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are justified by the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole..." The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable housing, must be sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods. Recommendation: 7.7 Continue to allow flexible lot configurations for affordable housing developments while remaining sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods.

Attachment number 3 Page 26 of 36 1 25 Incentive No.8 The modification of street requirements for affordable housing Review Synopsis: Currently, all streets must conform to the City's street standards as defined in Article 3, Section 3-1904 of the City's Community Development Code: "Article 3, Section 3-1904 - (A) The functional classification, arrangement, character, extent, width and location of all streets shall conform to the thoroughfare element of the comprehensive plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical and environmental conditions, public convenience and safety, and their appropriate relationship to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets." The Community Development Code specifies minimum right-of-way and lane designations for each classification of roadway, including neighborhood roads. A minimum pavement width of 24 feet plus curb is required for all neighborhood roads, 26 feet plus curb for all local roads, and 37 feet for all collector roads. Such requirements are in place to benefit public health and safety. The City's Community Development Code requires that all streets be improved by a developer with paving, curbs or gutters, and sidewalks or on-street parking where necessary. These standards apply to all development, including affordable housing projects. Since the City of Clearwater is largely built-out, the City's infrastructure system is already in place and it is not likely that affordable housing projects will need to provide local or collector roads. At most, such projects may require the provision of neighborhood roads internal to the site. Recommendation: Because such standards are in place to benefit public health and safety, we do not recommend that the City utilize the modification of street requirements as an incentive for affordable housing. M VA W &-" Attachment number 3 Page 27 of 36 1 26 AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and does not recommend the modification of street requirements as an incentive for the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 28 of 36 1 27 Incentive No.9 The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. Review Synopsis: Currently, the City has a process in place by which it considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing. The Economic Development and Housing Department usually receives most regulations and ordinances and participates in the review process. When reviewing, the department usually specifies whether any of the provisions may affect the cost of housing. Recommendation: 9.7 The Economic Development and Housing Department should continue to review a# regulations and ordinances that may affect the cost of housing. 9.2 Establish a formal process by which any new regulatory instrument created in the City (Ordinances, regulations, etc.) can be evaluated for its effect on housing affordability. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 9.1 and 9.2 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 29 of 36 1 28 Incentive No. 10 The preparation of a printed inventory of locally-owned public /ands suitable for affordable housing. Review Synopsis: The City of Clearwater is already built-out. According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, vacant developable land in Clearwater has been reduced from approximately 1,034 acres in 1989, to approximately 600 acres in 1996, and then further reduced to 420 acres in 2005. Most of these parcels are less than one acre in size. Infill development, urban conservation, and urban renewal strategies will continue to dictate future development. The City maintains an inventory of locally-owned public lands suitable for affordable housing. As of 2008, there are 29 parcels of publicly-owned land suitable for the development of affordable housing. Most of these lands are located in and surrounding the Downtown Area. Due to the lack of affordable land to develop affordable housing, the City offers development flexibility through the Community Development Code to help developers interested in providing affordable housing through infill and redevelopment projects. The City's Future Land Use Element proposes a number of activity centers throughout the City as part of the City's Design Structure. Policies A.5.4.4 and A.5.4.7 encourage redevelopment activities to support the provision of affordable housing: "Policy A.5.4.4 - Missouri Avenue from Drew Street to Belleair Road. The creation of affordable housing and mixed-use development should be supported, and lot consolidation and streetscape improvements should be encouraged." "Policy A.5.4.7 - South Fort Harrison Avenue from A Street to E Street. Amendments to the Future Land Use Plan and Zoning Atlas may be considered to promote affordable housing, mixed-use development, and to support the emerging character of the area and Morton Plant Hospital." Attachment number 3 Page 30 of 36 1 29 Recommendation: 70.7 The Economic Development and Housing Department should continue to maintain the inventory ofpub7ic7y-owned /and suitable for the development of affordable housing. 70.2 The public land inventory owned by the City for affordable housing should be published on the City's webpage for prospective developers and non-profit agencies for developing affordable housing. 70.3 Design a procedure to make publicly-owned land available to prospective developers and non-profit agencies for developing affordable housing. AHAC Action: The committee (AHAC) has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendations 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 31 of 36 1 30 Incentive No.1 I The support of development near transportation hubs, and major employment centers and mixed-use developments. Review Synopsis: The Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan supports the location of residential uses within "mass transit and neighborhood-serving land uses" and near transit lines: "Policy A.2.2.2 - Residential land uses shall be appropriately located on local and minor collector streets; if appropriately buffered; they may be located on major collector and arterial streets. Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks, schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses." "Policy A.6.8.7 - Create mixed-use, higher density and livable communities through design and layout, near existing transit lines as well as proposed TBARTA lines and stations. Also support walks ability concepts near projected TBARTA stations." In addition, the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan states: "Policy C.1.4.2 - Assisted housing should be located in close proximity to employment centers, mass transit services, parks, and commercial centers." Recommendation: 77.7 The City should maintain and enforce policies A.2.2.2; A. 6.8.7,- and C. 7.4.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 11.1 to incentivise the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 32 of 36 1 31 Adaptive Reuse 72. 7 Continue to allow `adaptive reuse" involving the conversion of surplus and/or outmoded buildings including old school buildings, hospitals, train stations, warehouses, factories, etc. to mixed uses. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 12.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Comprehensive Plan 73.7 Establish a policy under Objective C. 7.8 indicating the need to update the City's Local Housing Incentives Strategy every three years as indicated by the Florida Statutes (420.9076). AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 13.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Land Development Code 74.7 Create a policy to encourage developers to address recommended design standards for affordable housing developments. Some of the criteria could include but are not limited to. ¦ Maintain the character of the neighborhood where the project will be located ¦ Provide the necessary architectural elements to maintain a hierarchy of scale and a unified form ¦ Provide recess or articulated unit entries to provide individual identities for each unit ¦ Avoid large and unbroken corridors ¦ Provide direct and visual access to open space for residents Attachment number 3 Page 33 of 36 1 32 ¦ Consider play areas when developing family housing ¦ Provide nighttime illumination from a variety of sources ¦ Use landscape standards and buffers when needed to avoid nuisances and the separation of public and private areas ¦ Reduced parking ratios ¦ Centrally- located common facilities ¦ Use Crime Prevention Thru Environmental Design (CPTED) ¦ Use energy-efficient and environmental concepts for home building allowed in the building code ¦ Use handicap accessibility standards (i.e., universal design) AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 14.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Communication and Marketing of Affordable Housing 75.7 Improve current communication channels and marketing materials to reach different stakeholders interested in affordable housing. Some of the suggested actions include but are not limited to: ¦ Prepare marketing materials for the general public in order to promote the different housing programs that the City's offers. ¦ Prepare marketing materials that help developers and the general public to understand the application criteria, permitting process, and the number of incentives available for rehabilitation and new construction of affordable housing units in the City. ¦ Make accessible to the public an inventory and a map of suitable residential vacant land available for development. ¦ Include a section on the City's webpage called, "Affordable Housing Central," specifically dedicated to the promotion of affordable housing. AHAC Action: The committee has reviewed the City's current practices and hereby approves Recommendation 15.1 to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Attachment number 3 Page 34 of 36 1 33 Financing 76.7 Diversify financial strategies to contribute to the new construction and maintenance of affordable housing. Some of the suggested actions include but are not limited to: ¦ Maximize the use of funds from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). ¦ Encourage Employer-Assisted Housing Programs.

Attachment number 3 Page 36 of 36 1 35 M VA w &-" ' l City Council Agenda Council Chambers - City Hall SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Meeting Date: 12/18/2008 Approve a Lease Modification Agreement between the City of Clearwater, Silver Dollar Trap Club, Inc. and Silver Dollar Shooters Resort, L. L. C., amending the Lease Agreement dated February 14, 1994 between the City and Silver Dollar Trap Club, Inc. with respect to 18.18 acres, more or less, in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 19, Township 27 South, Range 17 East, Hillsborough County, Florida; declare same as surplus for the purpose of granting an option to extend said Lease for one additional term of five (5) years, and consent to the Assignment, Assumption and Modification Agreement integral therewith by and between Silver Dollar Trap Club, Inc., Silver Dollar Shooters Resort, L. L. C. and NHC-FL8, L. P., and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. SUMMARY: On February 14, 1994 the City entered into a fifteen (15) year Lease of 18.18 acres of the City's Hillsborough County "Sludge Farm" with Silver Dollar Trap Club, Inc. ("Lessee"), a Florida corporation that operated a 57-acre trap club immediately adjacent on the west. The monthly rent was established at $393.90 per month throughout the Lease term. The Lease parcel has since been improved with three of the Club's thirteen trap stands, the balance of the Lease lands being a buffer between club activities and the City's remaining 444 acres of agricultural lands. On February 5, 1999 the Lessee sold the Silver Dollar Trap Club, and other property, to NHC-FL8, L. P., a Delaware limited partnership, and entered into license agreements then, and again in 2000, with the new owner and its operating entity, without formally assigning the leasehold interest it had with the City. Among its provisions, the subject Modification Agreement amends the original 1994 Lease as follows: 1. It grants the Successor Lessee the option to extend the Lease term for one five (5) year term from February 14, 2009 through February 13, 2014. 2. Upon City approval of the Modification Agreement, the monthly rent will adjust to $825.00 per month for the period January 14 - February 13, 2009, then increase with the CPI index as of 12/31/2008, or 3%, whichever is greater 2/14/2009 and each anniversary thereafter during the extension should the Lessee exercise that option. 3. Obligates both the Original Lessee and the Successor Lessee to fulfill all lease obligations to the City on a pro-rata basis, including any environmental remediation that may be required upon lease termination as a result of trap club activities. The City Commission did not declare the subject Lease lands as surplus upon entering into the 1994 Lease. Declaring the lands as surplus for the purpose of approving the Modification Agreement and granting the option to extend the Lease for one additional five (5) year term brings Council actions into compliance with the current City Charter. City approval of and consent to the Assignment formally conveys the Lessee's leasehold interest into the Assignee and Licensee as described therein, and obligates all parties to jointly, on a pro-rata basis, fulfill all obligations to the City imposed in the Lease.

Equity Lifestyle Properties is the owner of over 300 resorts and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as ELS. The Trap Club is part of a larger complex that includes a golf course and mobile home community with a taxable value of $16,500,000. Equity LifeStyle has indicated that they may be amenable to purchase the property, however their corporate procedures would not allow this to be completed by the February 2009 lease expiration date. In addition, the City's procedures to obtain appraisals, declare surplus, etc. would also extend past the expiration date. Conversation with the manager of the Silver Dollar Trap Club indicates that the lead shot is mined from the club and lease parcels every four years. This was last done about 18 months ago. Combine-like rigs scrape the top 4-5 inches of ground cover, shake out and blow off the dirt and collect the lead pellets. The club is also required to monitor three potable on-site water wells monthly. One of the wells is at the trap club, the other two are on the adjacent golf course. Testing of these wells indicates no ground water standards violations to date. Should the Lease not be extended for the requested five-year period, the following are two potential outcomes: 1.Terminate the lease in accordance with Article XII, Section 7 of the Lease Agreement, obligating the Lessee to procure an environmental audit and pay all costs of remediation of any contamination that occurred during the term of the lease. 2.Extend the lease for a period of one year to provide time for sale of the property to Equity LifeStyle Properties Inc. Should the sale not be completed within the one-year period the lease would be terminated as described in Item 1.

Hibbard, Mayor Approved as to form: Laura Lipowski, Assistant City Attorney City Clerk this day of CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA By: William B. Horne, II, City Manager Attest: Cynthia E. Goudeau, Item # 7 ' l City Council Agenda Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date: 12/18/2008 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Annexation, Initial Land Use Plan Designation of Residential Low (RL) and Initial Zoning Atlas Designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 2328 Anna Avenue (Lot 30, Rolling Heights in Section 7, Township 29 South, Range 16 East); and Pass Ordinances 8019-08, 8020-08 and 8021-08 on first reading. (ANX2008-09016) SUMMARY: This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.1928-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a single-family dwelling. It is located on the north side of Anna Avenue, approximately 600 feet west of Dora Drive. The applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City. The property is located within an enclave and is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the east and north. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The Planning Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent Sharkey Road right-of-way and the applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the additional costs to extend City sewer service to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 N. McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 48 located at 1700 N. Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and • The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: Objective 2.4: Compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Development Code. The proposed RL Future Land Use Plan category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds the District's minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan, City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and • The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north and east; therefore the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Goudeau City Clerk Item # 8 Ordinance No. 8021-09 ' l City Council Agenda Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date: 12/18/2008 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve amendments, relating to community policing and performing arts theatre, to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan and pass Ordinance 8014-09 on first reading. SUMMARY: In August 2008 the Community Redevelopment Agency and City Council entered into an Interlocal Agreement to use tax increment financing to provide for additional police presence beyond current activity levels in the East Gateway. The Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Section of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan should be revised to recognize that TIF will be used as a source of funding for additional community policing innovations. Proposed Ordinance 8014-09 contains five amendments that primarily address the issue of community policing innovations. A new policy supporting the continuation of community policing innovations is proposed in Chapter 3 Land Use/Redevelopment Plan. In Chapter 4 Plan Implementation, community policing is proposed as a public strategy. Additionally, a description of the community policing innovations is proposed to be added in this chapter, as well as a provision specifying that the innovations may be funded with TIF. One other minor amendment proposed in Ordinance 8014-09 expands a public strategy to support Downtown as a location for a performing art theater. At its meeting on November 18, 2008, the Community Development Board reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan with one minor editorial revision which has been incorporated into Ordinance 8014-09. The Board also had a lengthy discussion regarding the importance of foot patrols within the Downtown and requested that Council be apprised of the Board's support for the use of such patrols.

No.: Agenda Item: November 18, 2008 Downtown Plan Amendments 8014-09 D1 CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT CLEAR WATER DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS STAFF REPORT REQUEST: Amendments to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater Planning Department BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 13, 2008 the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved the East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program. The Action Program responded to public input on the issues of drug dealing, prostitution and street crime by including an action item for an increased police presence in the East Gateway. As Florida Statutes allow for the use of tax increment financing (TIF) funds for community policing innovations, the CRA entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Police Department on August 27, 2008 to provide for additional police presence beyond current activity levels. The Tax Increment Financing Section of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan needs to be revised to recognize that TIF is a source of funding for additional community policing innovations. The Planning Department is also recommending that minor amendments be made to the Plan to support the location of a performing arts theater in Downtown. The Community Development Board is reviewing the proposed amendments in its capacity as the Local Planning Agency and is requested to make a recommendation regarding the amendments to the City Council. The CRA is requested to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the amendments to the Plan. Once the City Council approves these amendments, they will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for approval as amendments to the Redevelopment Plan. They will also be submitted to the Pinellas Planning Council and the Countywide Planning Authority for approval as amendments to the Special Area Plan governing Downtown. Community Development Board - November 18, 2008 4th Downtown Plan Amendments - Page 1 of 4 Item # 9 Attachment number 1 Page 2 of 4 ANALYSIS: Five amendments are proposed to the Plan and are contained in Exhibit A attached to Ordinance No. 8014-09. One amendment revises the land use/redevelopment plan while four amendments relate to downtown strategies and tax increment financing. Below is a summary of each amendment. 1. Amendment 1 - Insert new policy in Chapter 3 Land Use/Redevelopment Plan, Goals, Objectives and Policies Section on page 54 of the Plan (page one of Exhibit A of proposed ordinance). A new policy supporting the continuation of community policing innovations in the Downtown is proposed. The proposed policy notes that the program should continue to focus on a variety of strategies that increase police visibility and reduce opportunities for crime. Strategies outlined in the policy are consistent with those outlined in Florida Statutes Chapter 163 and are currently employed by the Downtown Bike and C.H.I.P Teams. 2. Amendment 2-- Amend Strategy 20 in Chapter 4 Plan Implementation and add new Strategy 21 on page 218 of the Plan (page one of Exhibit A of proposed ordinance). Strategy 20, located in the Plan Implementation section of Chapter 4, supports city efforts to attract a movie theater to Downtown. The proposed amendment would expand this strategy to also market Downtown as a prime location for a performing arts theater. Due to the benefits such a facility would have on Downtown revitalization efforts, the proposed strategy also supports the City providing development assistance for a performing arts theater. Proposed amendment two also provides for a new Strategy 21 which supports community policing innovations in the CRA. 3. Amendment 3 - Amend Table 7 Summary of Public Strategies in Chapter 4 Plan implementation on pages 222-233 of the Plan (page two of Exhibit A of proposed ordinance). This proposed amendment revises Table 7 which summarizes the public strategies to be employed within the Downtown. Existing Strategy 20 is proposed to be expanded to include a performing arts theater as discussed above and a new Strategy 21 is proposed regarding community policing innovations as discussed above. The remaining strategies will be renumbered. 4. Amendment 4 - Amend the third paragraph of the Tax Increment Revenue Projections Section and the corresponding summary table in Chapter 4 Plan Implementation on page 255 of the Plan (pages two - three of Exhibit A of proposed ordinance). Community Development Board - November 18, 2008 4th Downtown Plan Amendments - Page 2 of 4 Item # 9 Attachment number 1 Page 3 of 4 Amendment four adds community policing as a program within the CRA that will be funded through tax increment financing. The summary table of the CRA programs and initiatives is also proposed to be amended to include community policing innovations. A total of $1 million dollars is estimated to be the cost of this program over the next five - seven years. This amendment also clarifies that community policing innovations can only be funded through City TIF revenues. 5. Amendment 5 -Amend the Tax Increment Revenue Projections Section in Chapter 4 Plan Implementation on page 259 of the Plan (pages three - four of Exhibit A of proposed ordinance). The City has provided a community policing presence in Downtown since 1998. Proposed Ordinance No. 8014-09 outlines the history of those efforts and a summary of the unique issues the City faces in the CRA. The amendment sets forth the intent community policing innovations and notes the importance of reducing crime in the CRA to improve the quality of life in the CRA. The amendment is written broadly to apply to the entire CRA in the event City Council and CRA want to provide a higher level of community policing service beyond the East Gateway Character District. The program is proposed to be on-going with a cost over the next five - seven years at a maximum of $1 million dollars. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Please find below a selected list of objectives and policies from the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan that is furthered by the proposed amendments to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. • Objective 2.1 - The redevelopment of blighted, substandard, inefficient and/or obsolete areas shall be a high priority and promoted through the implementation of redevelopment and special area plans, the construction of catalytic private projects, city investment, and continued emphasis on property maintenance standards. • Policy 2.1.8 - The City shall continue to support and implement approved community redevelopment area plans, such as the Downtown Redevelopment Plan adopted in 2004. • Policy 2.1.10 - Clearwater will continue to support the tax increment financing program and redevelopment efforts of the downtown area through activities of the economic development office and actions of the City Commission as the Community Redevelopment Agency. The proposed amendments to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan primarily focus on community policing innovations as a public strategy in the CRA. A higher level of community policing innovations is an investment in the future health of the CRA and will assist in reducing blighting influencing within the area. The use of TIF to fund a higher level of community policing presence in the CRA is an appropriate use of such Community Development Board - November 18, 2008 4th Downtown Plan Amendments - Page 3 of 4 Item # 9 Attachment number 1 Page 4 of 4 funds. The proposed amendments therefore support existing objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The proposed amendments to the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Proposed Ordinance No. 8014-09 makes minor amendments regarding the City's desire to attract theaters to Downtown and provides for policies and strategies supporting community policing innovations in the CRA, as well as using tax increment financing as a funding source for increased levels of community policing activities. Based on the above analysis, the Planning Department recommends the following action on the request: Recommend APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 8014-09 which amends the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan.

Its first focused efforts in the Downtown area came in 1998 when a police substation was co-located in the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program (CHIP) shelter in the East Gateway Character District in response to resident concerns about the crime potential associated with the shelter. Another community policing team, the Downtown Bicycle Team, was established for the Downtown Core of the CRA in 2005 in anticipation of additional demands on the Police Department as a result of redevelopment. Additionally AmeriCorps Clearwater members have supplemented the activities of the Downtown Bicycle Team by acting as ambassadors of the City by assisting visitors and businesses. The intent of the community policing innovations in Downtown is for police officers to be a visible deterrent of crime as well as an approachable source of assistance and information. The officers act as liaisons to downtown visitors, businesses, employ and residents and work to build partnerships through daily visibility and community and Estimated costs 3 Exhibit A - Ordinance No. 801#M ## 9 Attachment number 2 Page 4 of 4 involvement and organization. They also help solve neighborhood problems and work to foster a sense of safety and security public as well as private spaces. Community policing innovations focus on a variety of issues including those that are unique to the CRA such as homelessness, prostitution, drugs and street crimes, and a large immigrant population. A key component of the City's redevelopment strategy is to reduce crime in the CRA and improve the quality of life of residents, businesses and visitors. In order to achieve this goal, additional community policing presence is needed. Through the use of TIF funds an enhanced level of communily policing can be achieved.

Goudeau City Clerk 3 Ordinance No. 8014-09tem # 9 ' l City Council Agenda Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date: 12/18/2008 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve amendment to the Community Development Code to allow a reduced parking requirement for changes of use within the Downtown (D) District where there are no existing parking spaces or available land for their construction, and Pass Ordinance 7999-08 on first reading. SUMMARY: At the City Council Work Session of October 13, 2008, concerns were raised pertaining to Ordinance 7999-08. Following this meeting, the Planning Department considered possible alternative language and options that could improve the ordinance and the Department would now propose to amend the ordinance language to reduce the area and uses governed by the ordinance. With regard to the geographic area associated with the ordinance, staff would recommend reducing the area from that originally proposed to now include only those buildings/properties with frontage on Cleveland Street that are located between Osceola Avenue and Myrtle Avenue (Cleveland Street District). This reduction in area keeps the focus on the core of the downtown where our historic properties are located, and where the greatest amount of attention is presently needed to ensure that our revitalization measures are successful. Whereas the original ordinance would allow for changes in use to any use presently allowed within the Downtown (D) District, staff would recommend that the changes of use be limited to only those uses that are being specifically encouraged in the downtown area, namely indoor recreation/entertainment facilities (i.e. theaters), restaurants, retail sales and services, and offices. It merits restating that the purpose of this proposed amendment is to facilitate the reoccupation of existing buildings and tenant spaces within the Cleveland Street District. Presently, should a prospective restaurateur want to open a restaurant in a building that has no off-street parking and that was most recently occupied by a real estate office or a retail business, they would be required to apply for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment approval to request a reduction from the off-street parking requirement and receive such approval from the Community Development Board. This process, which takes approximately three months to complete, would result in no gains for the City, as the buildings already exist without off-street parking or the opportunity to provide off-street parking. In effect, all that would be accomplished by continuing to require that prospective business owners complete this process is the unnecessary and costly delay and/or prevention of them actually establishing businesses in downtown Clearwater. The revised ordinance, a map illustrating properties that would be impacted by the ordinance, as well as a list of the businesses that currently occupy those properties is provided.

SUMMARY: • The 2.75 acres is located directly south of Pier 60 between Coronado Drive and South Gulfview Boulevard, north of Second Street. • The subject property is currently vacant, but used as a temporary City public parking lot. • On October 19, 2004, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved a Flexible Development application for the construction of a 350-unit hotel with associated amenities and 75 attached dwellings as a mixed-use development (FLD2004-02013 ). • The City Council approved a companion Development Agreement on February 17, 2005 (Case No. DVA2004- 00001). These development approvals authorized the following: • Use of 250 hotel rooms from the Beach by Design density pool; • Maximum building height of 150 feet; • Vacation of a portion of the right-of-way for Gulfview Boulevard between Coronado Drive and proposed Second Street; • Vacation of the First Street right-of-way between Coronado Drive and Gulfview Boulevard; • Dedication of right-of-way for proposed Second Street between Coronado Avenue and Gulfview Boulevard; and • Dedication of right-of-way for Coronado Drive between proposed Second Street and Gulfview Boulevard. • On May 17, 2005, the CDB approved a Flexible Development application amending the prior project to modify the location of an elevated pedestrian walkway over South Gulfview Boulevard (FLD2004-02013A). • On March 16, 2006, City Council approved an amendment to this original Development Agreement (DVA2004-00001A), which dealt with issues associated with Beach Walk construction and the timing of the dedication of land for Relocated 1st Street (to be known as Second Street once constructed), as well as for the construction of Relocated 1 st Street. • On October 21, 2008, the CDB approved with 13 conditions of approval a Flexible Development application for the construction of a 450-room overnight accommodation use (250-room hotel and 200-room timeshare) (FLD2008-05013). • The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten (10) years and includes the following main provisions: • Updates the provisions of the Development Agreement to current conditions, reflecting changes due to Beach Walk construction and other surrounding conditions, as well as the current proposed development; • Provides for the vacation of Parcel J (the area where the pedestrian bridge was previously located on the approved plan, which is no longer proposed); gUpdates the public parking options to reflect the developer's option to pay in lieu of providing the parking spaces on-site; • Updates Exhibit M (Parking Protocol), due to the change in design of the project and responding to Staff concerns regarding employee parking issues; • Updates the developer's pro rata share of the Beach Walk construction to indicate what the developer has paid to date and the remaining obligation to meet the prior commitment; • The currently approved Development Agreement, along with the associated resort pool units, expires in 2015. This proposed amended Development Agreement does not extend this date. It does propose to give the developer three years to commence vertical construction and the opportunity to request a time extension from City Council extending through the 2015 date. The proposed amended Development Agreement also requires the City to consider (but not necgsari4 adopt) amendments to the previously approved vacation ordinances that expire in March 2010 if vertical construction 0 not commenced. Item # 11 • The Community Development Board reviewed this Development Agreement application at its public hearing on ctober 21, 2008, and unanimously recommended approval of the application (DVA2008-00001). • Following the CDB meeting, there have been changes to the Agreement negotiated by the City Attorney. Specifically, The Agreement has been changed to require commencement of the Project within three years and several other minor changes related to timing of commencement and the ability to have Concession on the beach and the related documents and provisions have been deleted.

SUMMARY: On September 4, 2008, the Clearwater City Council approved on first reading amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). As required by Florida Statutes, the proposed text amendments were submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and other required state agencies for review and comment. The Planning Department has received the Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report from DCA, as well as comments from other review agencies. Certain objectives and policies, as well as maps, must be revised to address objections raised in the ORC. Revisions are proposed to most of the Plan elements, however, many are non-substantive. Substantive revisions are being proposed to policies regarding affordable housing, transportation, and post disaster redevelopment plans. Attached please find a copy of the ORC, the Planning Department's response to the ORC, a motion to amend Ordinance 7993-08 on second reading that incorporates the required revisions to the EAR-based amendments, and a link to access the revised maps. Due to the number o changes proposed to Ordinance 7993-08, the Planning Department will present these revisions to the Community Development Board on December 16, 2008 and will report the Board's recommendation at the December 18th Council meeting.

Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 4 of 11 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT FOR CITY OF CLEARWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 08-2ARA November 10, 2008 Division of Community Planning Office of Comprehensive Planning This report is prepared pursuant to Rule 9J-11.0 10, F.A.C. Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 5 of 11 INTRODUCTION The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's review of the City of Clearwater's proposed amendment to their comprehensive plan (DCA Number 08-2AR) pursuant to Chapter 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objections. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some objections may have initially been raised by one of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference between the Department's objection and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection would take precedence. Each of these objections must be addressed by the local government and corrected when the amendment is resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections, which are not addressed, may result in a determination that the amendment is not in compliance. The Department may have raised an objection regarding missing data and analysis items, which the local government considers not applicable to its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying its non- applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a determination on the non-applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered addressed. The comments, which follow the objections and recommendations section, are advisory in nature and will not form bases of a determination of non-compliance. They are included to call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar, organization, mapping, and reader comprehension. Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the other state review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These comments are advisory to the Department and may not form bases of Departmental objections unless they appear under the "Objections" heading in this report. Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 6 of 11 OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT FOR THE CITY OF CLEARWATER AMENDMENT 08-2AR I. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART 11, FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.), AND RULE 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (F.A.C.) The City's proposed Amendment 08-2AR is the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based plan amendments to update the Comprehensive Plan. The Department raises the following objections and comments to proposed Amendment 08-2AR. OBJECTIONS: A. Future Land Use Element: 1. Lack of Planning Timeframe: The Future Land Use Map does not indicate the future timeframe for which it is intended consistent with the planning timeframe for the City's comprehensive plan. Section 163.3177(5)(a), F.S., requires that comprehensive plans include at least two planning periods, one covering at least the first 5-year period occurring after the plan's adoption and one covering at least a 10-year period. [Section 163.3177(5)(a), (6)(a); and Rules 9J-5.005(4), F.A.C.] Recommendation: Include with the amendment a Future Land Use Map with the future timeframe for which it is intended clearly stated on the map consistent with the planning time-frame for the City's comprehensive plan. 2. Density Bonuses for Affordable Housing Incentives: Proposed Policy A.2.2.7 to the Future Land Use Element requires that the City provide density bonuses to developers of affordable housing and/or mixed-income developments based on recommendations established in the City's Housing Assistance Plan. Likewise, proposed Policy C.1.10. of the Housing Element would provide for density bonuses for affordable housing projects that are constructed consistent with the US Green Building Council. However, there is no policy in the City's Plan to define the amount of development that will be granted under a bonus program, and how it will be implemented. Additionally, the proposed bonus program has the potential to increase residential development in the Coastal High Hazard Area; however, the proposed policies do not ensure that such density bonuses would not be permitted on properties located within the City's Coastal High Hazard Area. Therefore, the proposed policies could direct population concentration to the Coastal High Hazard Area. [Sections 163.3177(6)(t)l.f; 163.3178(1) and (2)(h); 163.3178(9)(a), F.S.; and Rules 9J- 5.005(6); Rule 9J-5.010(3)(b)7.; 9J-5.012(2)(e)1, (3)(b)5., 6., & 7.; 9J-5.016(3)(b)2, F.A.C.] Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 7 of 11 Recommendation: Revise these policies to define the amount of residential development that: will be granted under a density bonus program, and how the program will be implemented by the City. Additionally, include language to these policies that would ensure that such density bonuses are not being permitted within the Coastal High Hazard Area. 3. Comment: • Objective A.4.1 and Policy A.4.1.1 refer to levels of service for traffic circulation. However, the policy should be revised to refer to levels of service for roads instead of traffic circulation. B. Coastal Element: 4. Coastal High Hazard Area Mat?: Objective E.1.2 and Policy 1.2.1 creates the Coastal Storm Area definition which encompasses the Coastal High Hazard Area. A map depicting the Coastal Storm Area boundary as an area that includes the Coastal High Hazard Area boundary is provided. However, based on the statutory requirements, the Coastal Storm Area map does not make a clear distinction between the Coastal Storm Area and Coastal High Hazard Area boundaries. Therefore, the City's Plan is not proposed to be revised to identity the Coastal High Hazard Area as required by law. [Section 163.3178(2)(h), F.S., and Rules 9J-5.006(4)(b)6.; 9J-5.012(2)(e)3., F.A.C.] Recommendation: Amend the Coastal Storm Area Map to clearly depict the Coastal High Hazard Area/Category 1 Storm Surge, as defined by Section 163.3178(2)(h), F.S. 5. Public Expenditures within the Coastal High Hazard Area: Proposed Policy E.3.1.4 appears to contradict proposed Policy E.3.1.3. While Policy E.3.1.3 states that the City will "limit public expenditures that subsidize development permitted in Coastal High Hazard Areas except for the restoration or enhancement of native resources," Policy E.3.1.4 states that the City will "ensure that construction of necessary infrastructure improvements in the coastal storm area are phased to coincide with the demands generated by development or redevelopment in support of the proposed densities of the Future Land Use Element." Thus, Policy E.3.1.4 has the potential to subsidize development that will increase density within the Coastal High Hazard Area. [Sections 163.3178(1) and (2)(h); 163.3178(9)(a), and Rules 9J-5.005(6); 9J- 5.012(3)(b)5., 6., & 7.; 9J-5,012(2)(e)l; 9J-5.016(3)(b)2, F.A.C] Recommendation: Revise proposed Policies E.3.1.3 and E.3.1.4 to be internally consistent and to require no subsidization of development that will increase density within the Coastal High Hazard Area. 2 Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 8 of 11 6. Comments: • Objective E.1.2 and Policy 1.2.1 does not reference the correct Coastal Storm Area Map. Objective E.1.2 and Policy 1.2.1 identifies Map-13 as the Coastal Storm Area map; however, the Coastal Storm Area map included as part of the map series is identified as Map E-1. Therefore, the City should revise Objective E.1.2 and Policy 1.2.1 to identify Map E-1 as the correct Coastal Storm Area map. • Proposed Policy E.4.1.9 provides for the preparation of a post-disaster redevelopment plan in an effort to reduce or eliminate the exposure of human life and public and private property to natural hazards. However, the policy does not specify a date by which the City will have its post-disaster redevelopment plan prepared. C. Capital Improvements Element: 7. Lack of Potable Water Supply Concurrency: The Capital Improvements Element does not address the requirements of Section 163.3180(2)(a), F.S., pertaining to water supply concurrency which requires the following: that adequate water supplies be in place and available to serve new development no later than the issuance by the local government of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent; and that prior to approval of a building permit or its functional equivalent, the local government shall consult with the applicable water supplier to determine whether adequate water supplies to serve the new development will be available no later than the anticipated date of issuance by the local government of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent. [Section 163.3177(6)(x) and (c); 163.3180(2)(a), F.S. Rules 9J-5.005(6); 9J-5.0055(3); 9J-;1.011(1 and 2); 9J-5.016(3)(c)5 and 6, F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the amendment to include a policy to ensure that the applicable water supplier is consulted prior to the issuance of a building permit or its functional equivalent to ensure potable water supply will be available prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy as required by Section 1613180(2)(a), F.S. 8. Lack of a Five-year Schedule of Capital Improvements: This EAR-based amendment is not accompanied by an update of the Capital Improvements Element to include an updated Five-year Schedule of Capital Improvements as required by Section 163.3177(3)(a)5., F.S., which addresses the capital improvements needs of the City during the next five years. [Sections 163.3164(32); 163.3177(2), (3)(a), (3)(b), (3)(c), (3)(d), and (3)(e).; 163.3177(6)(a), (c), (8), F.S, and Rules 9J-5.005(2)(a), (c); 9J-.005(5); 9J-5.055(2)(a); 9J- .006(2)(a), 9J-5.01 I(1)(b), (f) & (2)(b) & (c) and 9J-5.016(4)(a), F.A.C.] Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 9 of 11 Recommendation: Include, in the plan, a financially feasible Five-year Schedule of Capital Improvements with committed funding for improvements in the first three years and planned funding for the remaining two years of the Five-year Schedule. The data and analysis pertaining revenues and expenditure have to be updated to show that there is adequate fund in each identified source to pay for the listed capital improvements. Also, the data and analysis supporting the Five-year Schedule should include an update of the projected capital improvement needs of the City and show that the improvements on the schedule will maintain and achieve the adopted level of service standards. This should be done by assessing what improvements are needed to achieve and maintain level of service in the short tern planning horizons, the cost of the improvements for the short teen, the funds available to pay for the improvements, and the timing of the improvements. For long term projected capital facility needs, the comprehensive planmust include long- term strategies which include programs and activities for the elimination of existing capacity deficits (Rule 9J-5.016(3)(c)l.b., F.A.C.), but need not be accompanied by a demonstration that funding for projected needs is currently available or available from plarmed funding resources. Rather, these strategies should be embodied in policies that, as with others in the comprehensive plan, spell out the way in which programs and activities are conducted to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards for the long term. 9. Lack of Adopted Level of Service Standards in the Coital Improvements Element: With the exception of schools, the Capital Improvements Element does not set forth the level of service standards for public facilities subject to concurrency which is required by Section 163.3177(3)(a)3., F.S. [Section 163.3177(3)(a)3., F.S., and Rules 9J-5.005(3); 9J-5.0055(2)(a)1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., and 8.; 9J-5.015(3)(b)3; 9J-5.016(3)(c)4., F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise the Capital Improvements Element to include a policy that establishes level of service standards for public facilities subject to Concurrency. 10. Lack of Concurrence Requirements for Roads: The proposed amendment to the Capital Improvements Element does not include changes to address the new requirement in the law pertaining to transportation concurrency. Pursuant to Section 163.3180(2)(c), F.S., transportation facilities needed to serve new development shall be in place or under actual construction within 3 years after the local government approves a building permit or its functional equivalent that results in traffic generation. To address this issue, Policy L1.3.3, subsection 3, references Policy I.1.3.3.1 and 1.1.3.3.2 which do not include provisions addressing the update to the law cited above. [Section 163.3180(2)(c), F.S., and Rules 9J-5.005(6); 9J-5.0055(3); 9J-5.016(3)(c)5. and 6., F.A.C.] 4 Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 10 of 11 Recommendation: Revise Policy 1.1.3.3, subsection 3, to delete reference to Policies I.1.3.3.1 and 1.1.3.3.2, and to include provision that will ensure that transportation facilities needed to serve new development shall be in place or under actual construction within 3 years after the local government approves a building permit or its functional equivalent that results in traffic generation in order to be consistent with the above cited provision of the law. D. Transportation Element: It. Lack of Planning Tirneframe: The Future Transportation Map and map series (Map Ws B-1, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-7, B-8, B-9, B-11, and B-12) do not indicate the future timeframe for which they are intended consistent with the planning timeframe for the City's comprehensive plan. Section 163.3177(5)(a), F.S., requires that comprehensive plans include at least two planning periods, one covering at least the first 5-year period occurring after the plan's adoption and one covering at least a 10-year period. [Section 163.3177(5)(a); and Rules 9J-5.005(4), F.A.C.] Recommendation: Include, with the amendment, a Future Transportation Map and map series with the future timeframe for which they are intended clearly stated on all maps consistent with the planning timeframe for the City's comprehensive plan. 12. Comments: • Objective B.1.5 states that, "All County and State roadways in Clearwater, except those identified as backlogged or constrained by Pinellas County MPO, shall operate at level C average daily/D peak hour. However, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requests that the City revise this objective to delete reference to the State Roadways. • Policy B.1.5.5 states that, "The City shall participate with the MPO and/or its Technical Coordinating Committee to ensure that the level of service standard for US Highway 19, a Strategic Intermodal System facility will be consistent with FDOT's LOS designation of `D' for this road. However, the FDOT requests that the City revise this policy to state that the LOS standard for US 19 is "D". F. Housing Element: 13. Density Increase s/Accesso Dwell in Units for Affordable Housing Proiqcts: Proposed Policies C.1.9.1 and C.1.9.4 would permit density increases for projects incorporating affordable housing units. However, the policies do not clearly define the amount of additional density possible to be allowed in a particular land use category and to a,!?so restrict such bonuses from occurring within the Coastal High Hazard Area. Item # 12 Attachment number 2 Page 11 of 11 Additionally, proposed Policies C.1.1.8 and C.1.9.5 to this element and A.6.1.12 to the Future Land Use Element would allow accessory dwelling units within the City based on sufficient parking, and other standards. However, the City's Plan does not include adequate standards guiding the development of accessory dwelling units, such as defining the density of use that will be allowed, requiring that such accessory units are not built within the Coastal High Hazard Area and that the assessment of public facility impacts take into account the accessory units. [Sections 163.3177(6)(f)Lf; 163.3178(1) and (2)(h); 163.3178(9)(a), F.S.; and Rules 9J- 5.005(6); Rule 9J-5.010(3)(b)7.; 9J-5.012(2)(e)l, (3)(b)5., 6., & 7.; 9J-5.016(3)(b)2, F.A.C.] Recommendation: Revise Policies C.1.9.1 and C.1.9.4 to clearly define the amount of additional density to be allowed in a particular land use category as affordable housing bonus. Additionally, revise Policies C.1.1.8 and C.1.9.5 to clearly define the amount of density to be established for accessory dwelling units. Furthermore, revise the policies to require that affordable housing bonuses as well as accessory dwelling units are not allowed on properties located within the Coastal High Hazard Area. Also, define the tenn "accessory dwelling units" and require that the assessment for public facility impact take into account the affordable housing units as well as accessory dwelling units allowed. II. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The proposed amendments do not adequately address and further the State Comprehensive Plan, relating to the following goals and policies: • Goal 6.a, (Public Safety); Policy 6.b.23; (The amendments related to Objections 2 and 13); • Goal 7.a, (Water Resources); Policies 7.b.5; (The amendments related to Objection 7); • Goal 17.a, (Public Facilities); Policies 17.b.5; (The amendments related to Objection 8); • Goal 19.a, (Transportation); Policies 19.b.3, and 19.b.13; (The amendments related to Objection 12); • Goal 25.a., (Plan Implementation); Policy 25.b.7 (The amendments related to all of the above objections). Recommendation: Revise the proposed amendments to be consistent with the above goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan, as recommended in this report. 6 Item # 12 Attachment number 3 Page 1 of 8 RESPONSES TO: DCA'S OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT FOR THE CITY OF CLEARWATER AMENDMENT 08-2AR L CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 163, PART II, FLORIDA STATUTUES (F.S.), AND RULE 9J-5, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE (F.A.C.)

With gradual variations in topography from sea level to one hundred three (103) feet, we have mostly well drained sandy soils with pockets of wetlands. There are natural drainage ways to Clearwater Harbor and Tampa Bay. The virgin landscape presented relatively few obstacles to development, and urbanization occurred rapidly throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The supply of buildable land has been depleted. City policies will have to compensate for the scarcity of land. Vacant developable land in Clearwater has been reduced from approximately 1,034 acres in 1989, to approximately 600 acres in 1996, and then fiirth r reduced to 49,0 in 2005. Most of these parcels are less than one acre in size. Infill development, urban conservation, and urban renewal strategies will continue to be prevalent in implementing Clearwater's plan. In 2005. residential was the largest category of land use within the City of Clearwater (approximately 7,07206 acres). Commercial was the. second - largest category of land use within the City (approximately 1,M 3,000 acres) followed by Recreation/open Space (approximately 1 717 acres) and Pnhlic/Semi Pnhlic (?lproximate] 1 417 acres) Since 1989, the majority of the amendments made to the Future Land Use Map hay-e involved parcels under one acre in size. Clearwater has 6-98 3.6-ten (16j times more land devoted to open space / recreation uses such as golf courses than industrial use (L,ZLZ vs. 246 acres). The economic base of the City is tourism, retirement income, retailing and services. These sectors of the economy need to be maintained and enhanced. Clearwater is the third largest City in the metropolitan area; it is a net importer of labor, and a focus of shopping, health care, recreation and office employment. The transportation system must be maintained and improved to connect the region's urban centers and support economic growth objectives. A-1 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Future Land Use Element Item # 12 Attachment number 9 Page 18 of 50 • Clearwater provides a full spectrum of urban public services and utilities. There are relatively few areas of service deficiencies. The. City continues to implement and addre-a f)e$ciencies that niust be adchrsbed expansion of key arterial and collector streets, drainage improvements for enhanced stormwater quality and conveyance quantity, and upgrading wastewater treatment levels. • Within the Clearwater Planning Area- there, is a significant amount of land located in enclaves and unincorporated areas located along the City',,; houndaries Approximately 3,700 acres of land within the Planning Area is available for annexation. Clearwater's redevelopment plans will continue the evolution of a multi-faceted, multi-modael City with tourism being a major industry impacting the City's economic base. • As of May i 999, August, O?The City's Unsafe Structures Program has resulted in either the demolition or full code compliance of over _L02-0 4--/9 structures. Due to the age of much of the City's commercial and residential structures, this -'program must be continued as a means of combating urban blight and spurring redevelopment. • In 2007, the voters of Pinellas C'.ountya»proved a referendum to continue tThe Local Government Infrastructure Surtax (LGIS} or better known as the "Penny for Pinellas",vas The "Penny for Pinellas" continues -to provides funding for infrastructure improvements within the City of Clearwater. • Clearwater has a current population of approximately 110,831 iO2,874 people. Seasonal residents add about 10,110 2f,000 people during the winter months. The permanent population is projected to increase to 121,352_ by the year = 20x. • Clearwater will continue to protect historic resources and properties through the implementation of the City historic desiago tion process zoning oveilay . • Coordination among governments, business, and civic groups continues to he necessary vvi}l be needed to implement comprehensive plan objectives.

Policies A3_2_1 4-.2-f All new development or redevelopment of property within the City of Clearwater shall meet all landscape requirements of the Community Development Code. AA 5. GOAL - THE CITY SHALL NOT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR UNLESS AN ADEQUATE LEVEL OF SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT. AREAS IN WHICH THE IMPACT OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENT EXCEEDS THE DESIRED LEVELS OF SERVICE WILL BE UPGRADED CONSISTENT WITH THE TARGET DATES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED IN THE APPLICABLE FUNCTIONAL PLAN ELEMENT. A.4"1 57f Objective - The City shall examine and upgrade tinne to implement the Concurrency Management and information system ac annrnnriate for to be used in granting development permits. This system shall continue to consider the current, interim, and ultimately desired Levels of Service for traffic circulation, transit, water, sewer, garbage collection, and drainage systems and shall provide data on sub-sectors of the City in which service deficiencies exist or in which services are adequate to serve existing and planned new development. This Llevel of Sservice status will be considered and made part of the staff recommendation at the time of zoning, site plan, or plat approval. The Llevel of Sservice monitoring system shall be adjusted, at a minimum, annually to determine adequacy of service capacity. Should a requested development permit result in approvals which would burden service systems above adopted levels, permission to proceed with the development will not be granted until the City has assured that adequate services will be available concurrent with the impacts of development. Policies A41 1 3 :1 No new development or redevelopment will be permitted which causes the level of City services (traffic circulation, recreation and open space, water, sewage treatment, garbage collection, and drainage) to fall below minimum A-15 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Future Land Use Element Item # 12 Attachment number 9 Page 32 of 50 % acceptable levels. However, development orders may be phased or otherwise modified consistent with provisions of the concurrency management system to allow services to be upgraded concurrently with the impacts of development. A 4 1-2 5-.t-.2 For the road links enumerated in the Transportation Element, a tiered lEevel of siervice is established. The initial ffievel of s5ervice established for the purpose of issuing development permits shall be increased after improvements are completed, consistent with the construction initiation dates.

HOUSING ELEMENT Introduction The purpose of the Housing Element is to provide guidance to the City to develop appropriate plans and polices to meet identified or projected deficits in the supply of housing for the different economic sectors and needs in the community. The intent is to address the City's activities as well as to provide direction and assistance to the efforts of the private sector. The housing element consists of standards plans, and principles to be followed in: • The provision of housing for all current and anticipated future residents of the city, • The elimination of substandard dwelling conditions, • The structural and aesthetic improvement of existing housing, • The provision of adequate sites for future housing, including affordable housing= group home facilities residential shelters foster care facilities, transitional and permanent supportive housing, • The provision for relocation of housing and identification of historically significant and other housing for purposes of conservation rehabilitation, or replacement, • The formulation of housing implementation programs, and • A plan for ensuring affordable workforce housing that would, at a minimum, identify adequate sites for such housing. Housing Needs Summary The following summarizes the Housing Element: • The mix of housing types is proportional with ft 4b, evenly divided bet-,y°°f single-family at 45% and multi-family homes at 48% of existing housing stock, with much of the growth attributed to multi-family housing. Mobile homes account for approximately -L,6 -/o of the total housing units in the City. City policies with regard to zoning and development will need to continue to recognize this housing mix. • The increase in the cost of new single-family homes has risen dramatically faster than the sale price of existing single-family homes. To maintain affordable housing, rehabilitation and neighborhood preservation is to be preferred over demolition and redevelopment of existing neighborhoods. • Close to 40 percent of renters of "renter occupied housing units" pay more than sixty percent of household income for housing. 0 five pef:eeiit o . Accordingly, there continues to be a need for affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate-income households. • Although the number of housing units lacking complete plumbing, kitchen facilities or heating equipment is relatively small (less than 0.5%) and was been declining prior to 1990, it4s reideFAal to °"ta' housing. the 2000 Census showed an increase from 85 to 169 units over 1990 figures. This data needs to be confirmed by the 2010 Census in order to be validated. Close cooperation with the Census Bureau to ensure an accurate count in the 2010 Census is critical. Meanwhile, cEontinued code enforcement to reduce these conditions further should be supported. C-1 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Housing Element Item # 12 Attachment number 10 Page 43 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Housing • Clearwater's Community Development Code provides for group homes and group care facilities uses. Certain types of facilities, such as child or spouse abuse centers require increased confidentiality and require additional coordination by the police department and the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. • The population of the City of Clearwater is expected to grow to 121,352 112,83 permanent residents by the year 2020 2010. -To accommodate permanent and seasonal residents and maintain a healthy vacancy rate, approximately 4,460 299 new housing units will be needed. • Large, vacant parcels of land are scarce in Clearwater. Because of this, infill development of small vacant lots and under-utilized parcels will be necessary, and should be encouraged, to provide for new households. • Impact fees significantly affect the cost of new housing. Methods of balancing the objectives of affordable housing and adequate infrastructure need to be explored. • Clearwater will continue, as it has in the past, to promote and support fair housing practices. • While local data is unavailable for the specific number of homeless in -Clearwater, a County- wide survey conducted by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless in 2007, identified a total of 5,195 homeless men, women and children in Pinellas County. The City is a member of the Coalition as well as the Pinellas County Homeless Policy Group- C-2 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Housing Element Item # 12 Attachment number 10 Page 44 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Housing GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES C.1 GOAL - AN AFFORDABLE VARIETY OF STANDARD HOUSING UNI'T'S IN DECENT AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, NATIONALITY, AGE, MARITAL STATUS, HANDICAP, OR RELIGION.

UTILITIES ELEMENT Introduction The purpose of the Utilities Element is to provide guidance to the City to develop appropriate plans and polices to meet identified or projected deficits in the supply of utilities for the different economic sectors and needs in the community. The intent is to address the City's activities as well as to provide direction and assistance to the efforts of the private sector, as the private sector plans designs and constructs new buildings and subdivisions. The utilities element consists of standards plans and principles to be followed in: • The provision of utilities for all current and anticipated future residents of the city, • The provision of specific utilities to address sanitary sewer, stormwater and stormwater management, potable water and natural ground water aquifer recharge needs and solid waste. Utilities Utility Needs Summary The following summarizes the Utilities r T? Element: Sanitary Sewer • Rainfall during the rainy season exerts the greatest influence in producing peak wastewater flows or infiltration. The City has embarked on an extensive evaluation of the sanitary sewer system. The information for the evaluation will be included in a Master Plan which will direct the lining and replacement of the older sewer lines. • The Marshall Street treatment facility provides serv ice at a rate of one hundred and twenty-four (124) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). • The Clearwater East treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and fourteen (114) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). The East plant and Northeast plant are connected by a two-way force main. • The Northeast Regional Wastewater treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and forty eight (148) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). • Clearwater's projected peak population in 248 2020 will be 164,356 135,949 permanent and seasonal residents and guests. Sewage flow rates projected for 204-0 2020 will utilize sever -feu pefeefft (74' %) six . -nine percent (69%) of the system capacity. • Clearwater has adequate sewage treatment, collection capacity and system redundancy to serve existing and planned development. Current total design capacity is twenty-eight and a half (28.5) MGD; with four MGD allocated to the City of Safety Harbor through interlocal agreement. D-1 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Utilities Element Item # 12 Attachment number 11 Page 5 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Utilities The City requires all new development to provide sanitary sewer systems to connect to appropriate sewage treatment districts. New septic tanks should not be permitted. Residents located in nearby unincorporated areas using septic tanks should connect to the City sewage system as sewer lines become available. Soil characteristics have moderate to severe limitations in areas where septic use has been identified. Currently there are four (4) private treatment plants in areas adjacent to the City. As these "package treatment plants" become inoperable the City should encourage those needing sanitary sewer service to connect to the City sewage system. The City should continue to require annexation into the City when connecting to the City sewer system. Clearwater has undertaken major pumping station replacement and upgrades for pumping stations located throughout the city. Bett-y Lane was r-eplaeed iii , Sand Key will be eper-atieftal widiiii a and Meft, Platt shall be mhoted 1.. 2009 Upgrades to twenty four (24) additional pumping stations will be completed based on the recommendations from the Pump Station Capital Improvement Report.

The City of Clearwater has entered into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to assist the County in accomplishing responsibilities emanating from the recycling program mandated by the State. The City, "f r'1eanyat"" adepted an erdinanee in Ap fil 1999 fe ...- ing the ser-e icing of all a....,. st Voluntary cooperation and participation in the residential curbside source separation program is imperative to the success of the program and wi-11-depends on the willingness of City residents. Public awareness and education programs are important elements to motivate the citizenry to maintain their support and participation in the residential curbside separation program. The recycling of used office paper generated by City of Clearwater personnel will contribute to the preservation of natural resources and will continue to be a source of revenue for the City to help offset the cost of office paper. The necessity to monitor market fluctuations for the price of recyclable materials should be reviewed, at all times; this should accompany a regular and continuous market evaluation to optimize revenue received. D-2 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Utilities Element Item # 12 Attachment number 11 Page 6 of 50 Goals. Objectives and Policies Utilities The solid waste lEevel of s8ervice is based on a demand of seven and twelve one hundredths (7.12) pounds per capita per day. Clearwater residents should continue to partake in the utilization of the Pinellas County small quantity generator disposal site for hazardous/toxic waste materials for households and small generators of hazardous wastes. The City should also promote the Household Chemical Collection program that is held on an annual basis. Stormwater Management The City of Clearwater needs to will continue to monitor the stormwater management utility fee rate structure and amend it as required to remain competitive and maintain an adequate funding source to provide revenue for flood control, maintenance, retrofitting, and treatment of stormwater. In addition to the hydraulic improvements, this would improve the quality of stormwater discharging into surface waters, and will complement the measures proposed in the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program and the Tampa Bay Natienal Estuary Program to improve surface water quality standards. • The City of Clearwater needs to take advantage of any alternative funding opportunities that may become available from any State agency with regard to watershed management and/or general stormwater improvements. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to reduce flooding problems and strive for abatement of flood damage to houses and streets. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to coordinate stormwater management improvement efforts with Pinellas County and other incorporated areas adjacent to Clearwater City limits for both water quality and attenuation. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to maintain, correct deficiencies and improve, where necessary, current levels of service. Maintenance and improvement of the City stormwater management system must be recognized as a service provided by the City on a regular and continuous basis. • The City of Clearwater needs to continue to prepare stormwater management plans which will identify and prioritize the implementation of programs to improve and enhance stormwater quality and quantity. • Natural and man-made wetlands need to be utilized for stormwater storage and protected as natural resources. Wetlands provide a natural wildlife habitat and groundwater recharge functions which are pivotal characteristics of the natural and urbanized environment. Such features are firmly established within Clearwater's quality of life values. • The City of Clearwater must continue to obtain appropriate permits from all environmental regulatory agencies prior to implementation of water resource projects. • The City of Clearwater needs to research and develop new methods that are technically, environmentally, and economically viable of treating stormwater runoff before final discharge to improve and enhance local surface waters.

The City of Clearwater needs to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (NFIP/CRS). Clearwater has been an active participant since 1990. Potable Water and Natural Ground Water Aquifer Recharge Needs Clearwater has maintained an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County since 1955 with approximately eighty pereer!(80%) six _ -three percent (63%) of its water supply emanating from the County. The City also maintains a water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) to pump an average of S 6.25 million gallons daily (MGD) from its eighteen nineteen active wellheads.

In 2007, the actual average pumpage from the City's wells is was approximately 3 5 MGD. The balance of the City's water demand is met through purchase from Pinellas Counter In order to meet the city's future potable water supply needs in a fiscally responsible manner, several alternative actions must be explored and initiated both individually or in combination with other water supply source alternatives. The City's Water Supply Plan - Capital Improvements Implementation Master Plan (Oct 2004) includes projects based upon cost-benefit analysis that will enable the City to increase its local production of potable water to ten (10) MGD by 2015. Cost befiefit analysis will be „° ° , f r- • Conservation of potable water supplies is of paramount importance to the City. Clearwater will continue to support Pinellas County and participate in the immediate action to provide for new potable water supplies at a reasonable cost. • Clearwater must continue to utilize and provide efficient use of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes for both public and private use. Furthermore, it must constantly evaluate its approach to the desalination of marine water using reverse osmosis technology to provide a form of potable water backup for periods of drought, and when natural groundwater levels drop to critically low levels. • Clearwater shall continue to explore and participate proportionately in the regional/and or County desalination and/ or reverse osmosis alternative strategies. • The City needs to continue to recognize potable water as a scarce resource and to continue to operate the water utility prudently in implementing both conservation and consumption objectives. The current water consumption rate is approximately one hundred and twefrty (12-0) 100 gallons gallons/person/day, which includes both the seasonal and permanent population of Clearwater and is inclusive of both City produced water and County purchased water. • The City needs to continue to coordinate with (SWFWMD) in the study to determine surficial groundwater direction and flow at various depths. Groundwater data will continue to be needed to determine future well sites and conditions of subsurface transmissivity. This data will be an important tool for management of Clearwater's wellhead operation to determine the City's ability to continue to provide future water supplies. D-4 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Utilities Element Item # 12 Attachment number 11 Page 8 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Utilities The City, in conjunction with the City's Water Use Permit, needs to continue to develop an ultimate well head p! field management plan, including well configurations, pumping schedules, water quality monitoring and mitigation plans. This is needed to assure the continued supply of well withdrawal in accordance with the City's water use permit The City needs to continue to implement the recommendations from the Alligator Creek study. The City needs to continue with its public education program to make the public aware of the value of reclaimed water use.

Land use patterns are generally compact. Water-dependent uses, which occupy a relatively small part of the overall shoreline, are defined to be marinas, beach access, boat launch areas and docks, wastewater plants, and beach concessions. Water-related uses are marine sales, marine product distribution, motels and related tourist facilities, and public parking; these occupy much of the land on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key but are not as significant in other parts of the coastal storm area zexe. Water-dependent and water-related uses need to be given an emphasis in planning and permitting shoreline development. The economic base of the coastal storm area zene is largely tourism, which plays an important role for the County as a whole. Commercial uses, including tourism businesses, need revitalization, and the Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and Design Guidelines "Otte Gity, Oiie Futff " program wall addresses the needs of Clearwater Beach. The most significant areas for environmental preservation are the north end of Clearwater Beach, the sea grass beds in Clearwater Harbor, and Cooper's Point, with secondary significance determined for the Clearwater Harbor spoil islands, Sand Key Park, aftd the south shore of Alligator Lake and Stevenson's Creek, both the shoreline and creek basin.

CONSERVATION ELEMENT The intent and purpose of the City's Conservation Element is for the conservation, use and protection of natural resources in the area, including air, water, water-recharge areas, wetlands, soils, beaches, shores, flood plains, harbors, bays, minerals, and other natural and environmental resources. The maps for this element generally identify and depict these areas. Conservation Needs Summary The following summarizes the needs identified in the Conservation Element: • The protection, maintenance, and continued management of Clearwater's surface water resources, including both interior and coastal waters, are important for their natural functions. • Clearwater's groundwater supplies are important and must be protected to ensure the continuance of the City's ability to provide potable water to its amts. • The protection, maintenance, and continued management of Clearwater's shorelines, especially its barrier island beach shorelines, is critical. These areas provide an important social and economic function as these natural resources for Clearwater's tourism industry. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, and the geographic proximity to Caladesi Island State Park are some of the most important and unique resources the City possesses. • The protection, maintenance, and continued management of the City's seven hundred sixty (760) acres of natural wetlands including tidal swamps and marshes, both iiitCrier anu waStal, alC Ciii Cai tG tlic CV11 HUGd cxiStcnCc Of bvui plant anu all1mai wiiuiiic and wildlife habitat. These areas contribute to Clearwater's quality of life. Wetlands shall not be destroyed, disturbed, or altered to prevent them from performing their natural functions, except through the implementation of State or City mitigation standards as developedby4he Public awareness and education programs are an important component in promoting and preserving the natural environment and the use of "Florida friendl. ' vegetation. Black, red, and white mangrove trees are important to the continuance of many species of marine life. Protection of these resources is crucial to the food chain necessary to sustain marine life and shoreline stabilization. Protection of the edges or "ecotones" associated with the different ecosystems is important to natural function and Clearwater's quality of life. Scenic vistas shall remain designated as "scenic and/or non-commercial higliways or corridors." They are specifically: Memorial Causeway; Edgewater Drive; the Courtney Campbell Causeway/Parkway which is also designated a Florida Scenic Highway; Gulf Betilevafd Bayshore Boulevard; and Bayside Bridge Belleair Dead between r1 High-way 19 and Bele e Read.

J.1.1.4 33.1.1 The School District shall notify the City of the need for on site or off-site improvements to support new, proposed expansion, or redevelopment of existing schools within the jurisdiction of the City. Thereafter, representatives of the School District and Clearwater will meet and determine the responsibility for making such improvements and identify other agencies that should be involved. The School District and the City will then meet with the other agencies to coordinate the completion of the on-site and off-site improvements, in accordance with Section 5 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement. J-2 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Public School Facilities Element Item # 12 Attachment number 12 Page 34 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Public School Facilities J.1.2 3-3-.2 Objective - The City, through implementation of its concurrency management system for public school facilities, and in coordination with the School District, shall ensure that there is available public school capacity to support the anticipated students from residential site plans and final residential subdivision approvals ("Residential Approvals") consistent with the adopted level-of-service standard for public school concurrency throughout the five years covered by the Five-Year Work Program, as amended, and the period of the long-range planning program contained in the Public School Facilities Element. Policies J.1.2.1 33-1 The City hereby adopts, consistent with Section 11 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, the following level-of-service standard, which shall be applied consistently district-wide by all partner local governments within Pinellas County and by the School District. District-wide Level-of-Service Standard: Student enrollment plus vested students divided by Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) School Capacity plus additional capacity does not exceed 100 percent. This level-of-service standard shall apply to each type of public school facility. J.1.2.2 33.2.2 If the utilization rate established by the State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) is changed and it will impact how the School District determines school capacity, the School District will notify all partner local governments of the change. J.1.2.3 33.2.3 Amendments to the adopted level-of-service standard shall be accomplished using the procedure contained in Section 10 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement. J.1.2.4 33.2 School concurrency shall be measured and applied on the basis of Concurrency Service Areas, as established by the School Board and as documented in the data and analysis support section of the Public School Facilities Element. J.1.2.5 335 The School Board shall maximize school capacity through program adjustments and/or through adjustments to Concurrency Service Area boundaries, consistent with Section 12 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, to ensure that each Concurrency Service Area will, in the aggregate, operate at the adopted level-of-service standard throughout the five-year period covered by the Five-Year Work Program, as amended. J.1.2.6 33-2.6 When adjusting Concurrency Service Area boundaries, the School Board shall take into consideration the factors identified in Section 12 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement.

Such facilities shall serve to expand the school capacity of the School District and are a potential option for mitigating the impact that new Residential Approvals may have on public school facilities. J.1.2.8 33.2.8 The City, its partner local governments, and the School District shall utilize the uniform, district-wide procedure in Section 13 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement to implement school concurrency within their respective jurisdictions. J.1.2.9 33.2. The City and the School District shall utilize the School Capacity and Level of Service Report, prepared by the School District, approved by the School Board, and delivered to the City, no later than November 30th of each year, and as adjusted throughout the year based on the official student enrollment count of the fall semester and the estimated number of vested students, as the basis for assessing the existing level of service conditions and the available capacity within each Concurrency Service Area. J.1.2.10 33:2.10 In order to facilitate the accurate annual assessment of projected public school facility capacity, the City shall, throughout the year, notify the Pinellas County Planning Department of development permits, including certificates of occupancy issued for new dwelling units and expired school concurrency Residential Approvals, that affect the availability of school capacity, consistent with Section 13 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, so that an estimate of the number of vested students can be rnaintained for school concurrency purposes. J.1.2.11 33.? 11 A school concurrency Residential Approval shall be valid for purposes of the issuance of development orders or permits not to exceed a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. J.1.2.12 33.2.12 In accordance with Section 13 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, if the School District determines that there is not Available Capacity within an affected Concurrency Service Area to accommodate the estimated number of students that would be generated by a proposed Residential Approval and maintain the adopted level-of-service standard, then the School District shall consider whether there is Available Capacity in the contiguous Concurrency Service Area(s). J.1.2.13 33.2.13 If the School District determines that, in the aggregate, there is Available Capacity in the affected Concurrency Service Area and in the contiguous Concurrency Service Area(s) to accommodate the estimated number of students from the proposed Residential Approval, then an adequate level of service would be provided and the Residential Approval shall be issued a School Concurrency Approval by the City. J.1.2.14 33.2.14 If the School District determines that, in the aggregate, there is not Available Capacity within an affected Concurrency Service Area and the J-4 Ordinance 7993-08 Exhibit A - Public School Facilities Element Item # 12 Attachment number 12 Page 36 of 50 Goals Objectives and Policies Public School Facilities adjacent Concurrency Service Area(s) to accommodate the estimated number of students from the proposed Residential Approval, a proposed Residential Approval will not proceed without execution of a legally binding development mitigation agreement between the applicant, the School Board, and the City designed to mitigate the impacts anticipated to be caused by the proposed Residential Approval on public school facilities, consistent with Section 163.3180, F.S., and Section 13 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement. The applicant and the School Board shall attempt to negotiate a development mitigation agreement. If the applicant and the School Board are unable to agree on an acceptable form of mitigation, the City may utilize the conflict resolution provision in Section 14 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement to attempt to resolve the impasse. J.1.2.15 33.2.15 A development mitigation agreement shall include the applicant's commitment to continue to renew the development agreement until the mitigation is completed as determined by the School Board or as determined through the conflict resolution procedures provided for in Section 14 of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement, if applicable. J.1.2.16 333.2Acceptable forms of proportionate share mitigation that may be allowed by the School Board and the standards that determine the appropriate use of any mitigation funds required by the School District are identified in Section 13 h. of the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement. J.1.2.17 3-17 The City and the School District shall utilize student generation rates developed by the School District for purposes of calculating the anticipated number of public school students that would be generated by Residential Approvals and for developing student enrollment projections.

This allows police officers to devote more time to hazardous and critical crime mitigation tasks. AmeriCorps members promote a safe and friendlier place to live and visit. They also serve as a conduit for dissemination of information to residents and visitors who are most affected by ongoing changes in the City. The Clearwater Police Department benefits from the members' assistance with community policing efforts and the opportunity to mentor and mold the potential police officers of the future. Eight (8) full-time AmeriCorps members, five (5) part- time AmeriCorps members and one (1) AmeriCorps Program Coordinator are assigned to the Clearwater Police Department. The full-time AmeriCorps members receive a minimum living allowance/stipend of $11,400 per year, and part-time AmeriCorps members receive a living allowance/stipend of $6,035 per year. A continuation funding request and application was submitted and approved by The Corporation for National and Community Service for Federal Assistance in the amount of $122,111. Special Project 181-99265 has been set up for AmeriCorps Clearwater 2009.

FOR UTILITY INSTALLATION BY ROADWAY CONTRACTOR PROJECT NAME: KEYSTONE ROAD PROJECT LIMITS: FROM U.S. HIGHWAY 19 NORTH TO EAST OF EAST LAKE ROAD PROJECT NO.: 920522 THIS JOINT PROJECT AGREEMENT (Agreement) made and entered into on the day of , 2008, by and between Pinellas County (County), a political subdivision of the State of Florida, and the City of Clearwater (City), a municipal corporation of the State of Florida, d/b/a Clearwater Gas System, each individually referred to herein as Party and collectively as Parties. WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the COUNTY intends to construct roadway and drainage improvements to Keystone Road, from U.S. Highway 19 North to east of East Lake Road (Project), which will call for the adjustment, relocation, and/or installation of the City's utility facilities along, over and/or under the Project; and WHEREAS, the above described utility facilities are to hereinafter be designated as the Utility Work; and WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that it would be in the best interest of the general public and to the economic advantage of both Parties to enter into this Agreement for the Utility Work to be accomplished by the County's contractor as part of the construction of the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) each to the other in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is agreed by the Parties as follows: 1. Utility Work The Utility Work consists of the replacement, relocation or adjustment of four inch (4") and two inch (2") gas mains that are in conflict with the proposed construction, including the installation of fifteen thousand (15,000) linear feet of new four inch (4") polyethylene gas mains, as part of County PID No. 920522, located within the Project limits. Item # 22 Attachment number 3 Page 2 of 9 2. F ndm 2.1 The County will be responsible for the bidding and award of the construction contract and will include the Utility Work as a separate option item in its bidding document. After the County receives, opens, and evaluates the bids, the County will notify the City, in writing, of the County's intent to award the contract. This notification will include the amount for the Utility Work option. The City will have fifteen (15) days from receipt of the County's notification to request, in writing, that the County delete this option, and to notify the County of the City's intent to perform the Utility Work with the City's own forces or its own contractor. In order not to delay the construction of the Project, the City must show that it is ready and able to perform all Utility Work prior to requesting that the County delete the Utility Work option from the contract award. The City does not have the right to delay or affect, in any way, the award of the contract. In the event the City, in performing the Utility Work, causes a compensable delay to the County's construction of this Project, the City will pay all claims and costs incurred due to its delay. 2.2 The City hereby certifies that funding for the preliminary estimated Utility Work cost of Two Hundred Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($200,000.00), plus five percent (51/o) for County construction/contract administration costs in the amount of Ten Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($10,000.00), for a total cost of Two Hundred Ten Thousand and 001100 Dollars ($210,000.00), has been appropriated and is available for deposit into an escrow account for the purpose of payments by the County to the contractor on the City's behalf. The deposit will be due to the County no later than thirty (30) days from the date of notification of the County's intent to award the construction contract. If the option item of the contractor's bid selected by the County for performance of the Utility Work exceeds the amount of the preliminary estimated Utility Work, then subject to and in accordance with the limitations and conditions established by Subparagraph 2.1 hereof regarding the City's option to remove the Utility Work, the City will deposit an amount with the County which equals the total option item plus five percent (5%) of that amount for County construction/contract administration. Interest will accrue on the deposit balance and be used toward Project costs. In the event the final, actual cost of the Utility Work is less than the preliminary estimate of cost, the County will reimburse the City any excess escrow account funds. Should contract modifications occur that increase the City's share of total project costs, the City will be notified by the County accordingly. The City agrees to provide, in advance of the additional work being performed, adequate funds to ensure that cash on deposit with the County is sufficient to fully fund its share of the project costs. The County shall notify the City as soon as it becomes apparent the actual costs will overrun the award amount; however, failure of the County to so notify the City shall not relieve the City from its obligation to pay for the full cost of the Utility Work. 2.3 The County will require the successful contractor to comply with the following conditions. The City shall be responsible for the costs attributed to said compliance with these conditions as part of the Utility Work: 2 Item # 22 Attachment number 3 Page 3 of 9 a.

Goudeau City Clerk Item # 22 ' l City Council Agenda Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date: 12/18/2008 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve a donation to Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP) for funding 2008/2009 Day Center operations and authorize the allocation of $119,470.00 of General Fund Unappropriated Retained Earnings to fund this program. (consent) SUMMARY: • The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project shelter opened in April 1998, and since that date has provided a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families begin to improve their lives. • In CHIP's continuum of care, there are currently three (3) programs offered: outreach and assessment to the day center component; emergency housing in the shelter services; and transitional housing at the Parkbrooke Apartment Complex. • As with many other charitable non-profit organizations, CHIP has realized a significant reduction in charitable donations. CHIP is currently projecting a budget shortfall of $119,470.00, which is the annual cost of maintaining the day center program. • The CHIP "day center" program is, for many of those who find themselves homeless, the first step in making the move from the streets to self-sufficiency and housing. The services offered by the day center focus on providing basic needs either by CHIP direct services or by providing office space for other agencies. • From October 1, 2007-September 30, 2008, CHIP provided over 30,000 services to nine hundred (900) unduplicated individuals in the day service program. The current average per day is eighty (80) homeless individuals for whom there is no bed space in the shelter. • The impact of this program termination will place an additional average of eighty (80) homeless persons in the East Gateway and downtown areas of Clearwater. A first quarter budget amendment will transfer $119,470.00 of General Fund Unappropriated Retained Earnings to special project 181-99274, "Homeless Shelter", to provide funding for this program.
