Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 2.689 total acres (2.37 acres zoned Tourist District; 0.319 acres zoned Open
Space/Recreation) located on the south side of S. Gulfview Boulevard approximately 600 feet
east of Hamden Drive. The site is comprised of two parcels. The subject property is currently
developed with a 96-unit hotel/motel. There is approximately 16,224 square feet of accessory
uses.
An automobile service station and attached dwellings exists to the north of the subject property.
The Holiday Inn hotel is located to the west and the Econo Lodge hotel is located to the east of
the site. The Gulf of Mexico is located to the south.
In 2005, an application was filed to redevelop this property as a mixed-use for 111 overnight
accommodation rooms and two dwelling units under Case No. FLD2005-11108. Part of this
proposal included the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) from four sending sites for five
dwelling units and 10 overnight accommodation units (Case No. TDR2005-11028). This
proposal never proceeded past an incomplete status and eventually was withdrawn. However, the
five dwelling units were actually transferred by recorded warranty deeds to this site without City
authorization.
Development Proposal:
The proposal is for the redevelopment of the existing 96-unit overnight accommodation use to a
186-unit overnight accommodation use at a density of 78.48 units/acre on the lot acreage zoned
Tourist (T) District, which includes the allocation of 68 units from the Hotel Density Reserve
under Beach by Design. This is the fifth hotel to be placed on the Community Development
Board agenda since the amendment of Beach by Design in July 2008 creating the Hotel Density
Reserve as a means to encourage the construction of new mid-size hotels on the beach in
response to the loss of hotel rooms since 2002. Also on this CDB agenda is a companion
Development Agreement (DVA2008-00002) that must be approved by City Council, which
provides for the allocation of the 68 units from the Hotel Density Reserve. This Development
Agreement provides for mandatory evacuation closure of the hotel in the event of the posting of a

hurricane watch including Clearwater Beach by the National Humcane Center, which also
complies with Beach by Design criteria. This proposal complies with the Beach by Design
criteria to access all rooms through a lobby and internal corridors.
The proposal is to redevelop the property by demolishing basically the eastern portion of the
existing improvements. The existing parking garage, restaurant, nightclub and 46 hotel rooms
will be retained in the existing buildings on the western portion of the site. The proposal
includes the construction of a new building on the east side of the property with 140 hotel rooms
at a height of 134 feet (to the top of the flat roof deck). A colonnade will connect the existing
building to the new building with a water wall feature on the south side of the colonnade. Anew
pool is proposed south of this colonnade. North of this colonnade is proposed adrop-off/pick-
up porte cochere that can stack 16 vehicles. This new entrance area will provide access to the
existing parking garage, as well as providing access to the parking garage in the new building.
The hotel registration desk located in the building to be demolished will be relocated to the lobby
of the western building being retained. The first floor of the proposed building will provide guest
entrance area to the elevators and storage rooms, as well as a total of 16 parking spaces. Level
200, 300 and 400 will provide a total of 47, 49 and 52 parking spaces respectively. Level 500
will provide a total of 18,498 square feet of multi-function and meeting room space for guests.
Levels 600 through 1200 will provide 20 hotel rooms per floor. Level 1400 provides a spa and
exercise area, as well as a rooftop pool. Covered areas on this rooftop area comply with Code
provisions for maximum building height due to the rooftop occupancy afforded. Hotel rooms are
primarily oriented with east and west views, but the balconies provide views of the Gulf of
Mexico. The new building is described as a seaside beach motel design, which is appropriate
and aesthetically pleasing for this waterfront property. Railings on the balconies of the new
building will match that of the existing building so that there is continuity of design elements.
The main exterior color of the existing and proposed buildings is white. Windows and glass
doors in the new building are planned with a blue tint.
Beach by Design provisions require no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater
than 100 feet without an offset of more than five feet. The proposed building facade-has been
designed in compliance with this requirement so that this maximum 100-foot dimension is not
exceeded. The proposed parking garage levels (Ground through Level 400) will be clad with a
decorative metal mesh screening panel system for screening views of the vehicles. At least on
the north side of the new building for Levels 200 through Level 500 a landscaped facade is
planned with a greenscreen trellis system. The existing parking garage will also be enhanced
with the same decorative metal mesh screening panel system for screening views of the vehicles.
At least the existing parking garage is planned to be planted with climbing vines that will assist
with screening of the vehicles. In order to ensure the landscaping material on the metal mesh
screening panels on the existing or proposed parking garages are not trimmed to create any
signage, a condition of approval to prevent such is recommended, unless such signage is
approved through a Comprehensive Sign Program.
There are four cabanas planned poolside as part of the ground floor of the new building. To
ensure that the cabanas on the ground floor are used for storage only, in compliance with all
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) rules and guidelines for velocity

zones, a condition of approval is recommended to be included in any approval of this request.
Evidence of this restriction of use, embodied in deed restrictions or like forms, will need to be
submitted to the Building Official prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
During the final DRC review, it was noted that a large 26-foot wide by 16-foot high overhead
door was introduced at the northeast corner of the proposed building. Staff questioned the size,
location and purpose of this overhead door. The owner's response was that the size of this
overhead door was to provide for beach maintenance equipment. Such equipment is not
presently on-site and the applicant has not provided any documentation to Staff regarding such
equipment. This proposed overhead door is also located at the base of the ramp that provides
access to and from the upper parking levels, where critical turning movements occur enter and
exiting the garage. Additionally, the location of the overhead door is at the farthest point of the
building from the beach area, where any such tractor would damage the landscaping, and
possibly the stormwater system, along this side of the site. Finally, the applicant has not
indicated where such beach equipment would be stored in the building, which may displace
parking spaces. The applicant has not justified the introduction of this large overhead door. As
such, Staff would recommend that such overhead door be eliminated, or relocated closer to the
beach area to minimize such damage and be reduced to a size not to exceed 12 feet in width and
height. Parking spaces on the south side of the building can be removed to provide building
access for this beach equipment.
Density: Pursuant to the Countywide Future Land Use Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the
maximum density for properties with a designation of Resort Facilities High is 50 overnight
accommodation units per acre. Based on the 2.37 acres zoned Tourist District, a maximum of
118 overnight accommodation units are permissible under current regulations. The proposal also
requests 68 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve, adopted as an amendment to Beach by
Design under Ordinance 7925-08. The overall density for this project is 78.48 overnight
accommodation units/rooms per acre, which meets and is less than the maximum established in
Beach by Design for projects that have acquired units from the Hotel Density Reserve.
Based on recent Code amendments for hotels and related to the Hotel Density Reserve, when the
percentage of accessory uses exceed 15 percent of the hotel gross floor area, the accessory uses
must be treated as primary uses for calculation of density/intensity. Based on the proposed
overall hotel gross floor area of 188,725 square feet and a total of 37,647 square feet of accessory
uses, the accessory uses represent 19.94 percent of the overall hotel gross floor area. Staff has
performed a mixed use calculation, where the accessory use square footage (37,647 square feet)
is subtracted from the original lot area square footage zoned Tourist District (103,237 square
feet) to produce a net lot acreage of 1.5057 acres for calculating allowable density. Based on the
net lot acreage and 50 rooms/units per acre, the maximum base density is 75 rooms. Again,
based on the net lot acreage and 150 rooms/units per acre, the maximum number of hotel rooms
under the Hotel Density Reserve is 225 rooms. When the 75 rooms is subtracted from the 225
rooms, this equals 150 rooms. The maximum number of rooms available when the lot acreage is
less than 2.5 acres is 100 rooms. Therefore, the maximum number of rooms complying with the
Hotel Density Reserve provisions is 175 rooms (75 + 100). The proposal is for 186 rooms.
Since this proposal was submitted prior to the Code amendments moderating hotel densities
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009
FLD2008-12033 -Page 4 of 13
based on the amount of accessory uses, upon construction of this hotel, this site will become a
nonconforming use due to number of rooms. This determination does not prevent the allocation
of the 68 rooms requested, or the approval of this application.
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISRZ Pursuant to CDC Section 2-801.1, the maximum allowable
I.S.R. is 0.95. The overall proposed I.S.R. is 0.83, which is consistent with the Code provisions.
Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum lot area for
overnight accommodations can range between 10,000 - 20,000 square feet. The overall existing
site is 103,237 square feet of lot area. Pursuant to the same Table, the minimum lot width for
overnight accommodations can range between 100 - 150 feet. The lot width along S. Gulfview
Boulevard is approximately 389 feet. The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions.
Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum front setback for overnight
accommodations can range between 0 - 15 feet, the minimum side setback can range between 0
- 10 feet and the minimum rear setback can range between 0 - 20 feet. The proposal includes
reductions to the front (north) setback to 15 feet (to existing building), 11.2 feet (to proposed
building), 6.5 feet (to proposed sidewalk) and 6.79 feet (to proposed pavement), to the side (east)
setback to 9.58 feet (to existing waverunner accessory building) and 15.44 feet (to proposed
building and decking), to the side (west) setback to zero feet (to existing building, pavement and
decking) and to the rear (south) setback to 22 feet (to existing building), 59.25 feet (to proposed
building) and zero feet (to existing/proposed patio decking).
The proposal includes retaining the existing development on the west side of the site, including
46 hotel rooms, the accessory uses of the restaurant and nightclub and the parking garage. The
existing parking garage is located at a 15-foot front setback. The existing improvements along
the west side at a zero-foot side setback were approved under a variance granted in 1998. These
existing improvements, including a covered trash and equipment area, pavement to access
loading/trash area and an outdoor patio for the nightclub, will be retained at their existing zero-
foot setback under this proposal. This proposal includes trimming the existing carport-type
structure on the west side so that it does not extend over the west property line. The existing
building will retain its 22-foot rear setback, along with the zero-foot setback to the existing patio
decking.
The proposal includes retaining a portion of an existing building east of the restaurant,
remodeling the ground floor for an expanded kitchen for the tiki deck, providing a snack bar
oriented toward the proposed pool, removing the second floor enclosed area and turning this
second floor to an open activity deck. The rear setback to the existing structure is approximately
26 feet to the south property line.
The proposal basically reconstructs the eastern half of the property with new development.
Revised driveways are proposed on S. Gulfview Boulevard, as well as a new drop-off porte
cochere and a colonnade "connecting" the old and new buildings. Anew pool is proposed south
of the entry colonnade. Since the new building will be constructed on the east side of the site,
the proposal includes reductions to the front (north) setback to 11.2 feet (to proposed building),
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009
FLD2008-12033 -Page 5 of 13
6.5 feet (to proposed sidewalk) and 6.79 feet (to proposed pavement). Due to the angle of the
front property line, the proposed front setback to the building is at the northeast corner of the
building, as the setback increases toward the west. The 6.5-foot setback is to a sidewalk leading
to a storage room on the east end of an exit stairwell. The site has been designed with a drive
access from the entry area to the parking garage in the new building, with the edge of the
pavement at 6.79 feet to the front property line. This setback, along with the landscaping
proposed between the property line and this edge of pavement, will provide sufficient protection
to pedestrians on the public sidewalk within the S. Gulfview Boulevard right-of--way. An
existing waverunner accessory building is proposed to be retained, which is located at a side
(east) setback of 9.58 feet. The proposed building and decking is proposed at a side (east)
setback of 15.44 feet, which exceeds the minimum side setback requirement. The proposed
building is located at a rear setback of 59.25 feet to the south property line. Staff notes. that the
architectural design includes tapered fins on the front (north) and rear (south) sides of the new
building. While the bottoms of the architectural fins at ground-level are closer to the building,
the upper reaches of the fins are closer to the front property line and the seawall at the rear.
Adjacent to S. Gulfview Boulevard, the top of the tapered fin is located approximately 19.83 feet
from the front property line. At the rear, the Building Code requires an 18-foot setback to
seawalls due to the deadmen. The top of the tapered fins are located approximately 11.67 feet to
the seawall, which will require a variance to the Building Code seawall setback requirement.
Maximum Building_Height: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the maximum allowable height for
overnight accommodations can range between 35 - 100 feet. Section B.1 of the Design
Guidelines of Beach by Design allows the building height to be increased to a maximum of 150
feet for properties that obtain additional density from the Hotel Density Reserve for properties
located between S. Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed building is 134
feet in height from Base Flood Elevation (BFE) to the flat roof. This site is located within the
South Beach/Clearwater Pass character district of Beach by Design, which does not prescribe any
maximum heights. This proposal complies with the maximum building height allowable under
Beach by Design. There have been other projects approved at a maximum height of 150 feet
within this same South Beach/Clearwater Pass character district between S. Gulfview Boulevard
and the Gulf of Mexico.
Minimum Off-Street Parkin: When this project was submitted for review, the minimum
required parking for overnight accommodations was one parking space per room, or a minimum
of 186 parking spaces. The existing parking garage contains 192 regular parking spaces and 28
overflow parking spaces during peak demand (total of 220 parking spaces). The existing garage
will operate as self-park for hotel guests and as valet parking during peak demand. The overflow
parking is by valet only. The proposal includes constructing afour-level parking garage as part
of the new building, which will be by valet parking only, with a total of 124 regular parking
spaces and 40 overflow parking spaces during peak demand (total of 164 parking spaces).
Overall, this site will contain a total of 384 parking spaces (316 regular parking spaces and 68
overflow parking spaces). The proposal includes 2.06 parking spaces per room.
CDC Table 2-803 has been amended to require 1.2 parking spaces per overnight accommodation
room. At this new parking ratio, 223 parking spaces would be required. From an amenities
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009
FLD2008-12033 -Page 6 of 13
standpoint accessory to the hotel, based on current Code provisions, when the percentage of
accessory uses exceed 15 percent of the overall hotel gross floor area, parking for all uses must
be calculated separately. Based on the accessory uses being 19.94 percent, Staff has recalculated
required parking to be 522 spaces. The proposal provides a total of 384 parking spaces. Since
this proposal was submitted prior to some of the Code amendments moderating hotel densities
and intensities based on the amount of accessory uses, upon construction of this hotel, this site
will become a nonconforming use due to the number of parking spaces provided. This
determination does not prevent the approval of this application.
The existing site currently has three driveways. The westernmost driveway acts as an exit from
the existing parking garage and provides access to the loading and trash area. This driveway will
remain in its present condition. The existing center and easternmost driveways are close to each
other in proximity to the existing parking garage. The proposal will retain the existing center
driveway and provide greater separation to the easternmost driveway. All existing surface
parking spaces will be removed.
Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment
must be screened so as not to be visible.. from public streets and/or abutting properties. There will
be mechanical equipment located on top of the flat roof of the new building. The mechanical
area will be screened by a metal louvered screening system in compliance with this requirement.
Sight Visibilit~riangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the
driveways on S. Gulfview Boulevard, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will
obstruct views at a level between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-
foot sight visibility triangles. Shrubbery planted within the sight visibility triangles will need to
be maintained to meet the Code requirements.
Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-911, for development that does not involve a subdivision,
all utilities including individual distribution lines must be installed underground unless such
undergrounding is not practicable. Electric and communication lines for this hotel will be
installed underground on-site in compliance with this requirement. Electric panels, boxes and
meters are proposed to be located in an electrical room on the Leve1300 of the new building.
Landscaping: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D, there are no perimeter buffers required in the
Tourist District for this overall site. This proposal complies with the minimum five-foot wide
building foundation landscaping along S. Gulfview Boulevard extending out to the front property
line. The front area of the existing building on the west side is planted with shrubs (viburnam,
philodendron and Croton), ground covers (confederate jasmine, grand lily and bird of paradise) and
trees (coconut palm, Washington palm and sea grape). The proposal will enhance the existing
parking garage building with Indian hawthorn and sea grape shrubs and trees (southern wax privet
and cabbage palms). Some of this enhanced landscaping will help screen from view a lower area of
the existing parking garage used for accessory bike, electric bike, moped and segway rentals. The
redeveloped front areas for the new driveways and building will be landscaped with shrubs
(variegated pittosporum, Indian hawthorn and ixora), confederate jasmine ground cover and palms
(Washington and cabbage). Landscaping assists with softening and reducing building massing to
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009

both pedestrians and motorists. The northern portion along the west side of the site adjacent to
an exit driveway and loading area is presently planted with a hedge of oleanders and pittosporum
shrubs. The east side of the site adjacent to 625 S. Gulfview Boulevard will be planted with a
hedge of variegated pittosporum and seagrape shrubs and cabbage palms. The balance of this
east side will be sodded.
Solid Waste: The proposal will utilize hotel housekeeping staff to remove trash from units and
transport the trash to the existing dumpster location on the west side of the existing hotel
building being retained. The existing location and its screening has been found to be acceptable
by the City's Solid Waste Department.
Si~na~e: The site contains an existing freestanding sign that exceeds the,maximum sign height
of the Code and is therefore nonconforming. As part of this proposal, this existing
nonconforming sign will be required to be replaced with a new freestanding sign meeting current
Code provisions. The proposal indicates this new freestanding sign located between the center
and easternmost driveways. This freestanding sign should be designed as a monument-style sign,
match the exterior materials and .color of the building and be a maximum height of four feet,
unless approved at six feet high through a Comprehensive Sign Program, in accordance with the
flexibility criteria of .CDC Section 2-803.I.3. Attached signage must meet Code requirements,
including the signage indicated as part of the water feature by the colonnade.
Additional Beach by Design Guidelines:. Section C.1 requires buildings with a footprint of
greater than 5,000 square feet to be constructed so that no more than two of the three building
dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. The proposed building
footprint is approximately 20,211 square feet. The project's overall horizontal plane dimensions
are approximately 109 feet along S. Gulfview Boulevard and 199 feet deep (north to south),
while the vertical plane is approximately 141 feet from grade to the top of the flat roof. None of
these dimensions are equal. Modulation of the building massing also provides considerable
dimensional variation.
Section C.2 requires no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater than 100 feet
without an offset of more than five feet. The proposed building facade has been designed in
compliance with this requirement so that this maximum 100-foot dimension is not exceeded.
The east and west sides of the lower levels (ground through Level 500), which is the parking and
meeting room levels, has been designed with a linear dimension of no more than 40 feet for
portions of the building. The north side of the lower levels (ground through Level 500) has been
designed with a linear dimension of no more than 33 feet for one portion of the building. The
south side of the lower levels (ground through Level 500) has been designed with a linear
dimension of no more than 46 feet for a portion of the building. Starting with Level 600, the
hotel tower tapers narrower east to west, with the entire building at Levels 600 - 1000 not
exceeding 92 feet. At Levels 1100 - 1400, the building is further tapered to approximately 82
feet east to west. On the north to south direction for Levels 600 - 1400, the building has been
designed with a linear dimension of no more than 84 feet for portions of the building.
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009
FLD2008-12033 -Page 8 of 13
Section C.3 requires at least 60 percent of any elevation to be covered with windows/openings or
architectural decoration elements. The applicant has calculated the north elevation facing S.
Gulfview Boulevard at 61 percent, the south elevation at 60 percent, the east elevation at 79
percent and the west elevation at 78 percent.
Section C.4 provide that no more than 60 percent of the theoretical maximum building envelop
located above 45 feet be occupied by a building. The applicant has calculated the overall
proposed building mass between 45 - 100 feet at 12 percent of the total site zoned Tourist
District.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application and supporting materials
at its meetings of January 8, 2009, May 7, 2009, and October 1, 2009, and deemed the
development proposal to be legally sufficient to move forward to the Community Development
Board (CDB), based upon the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
Findings of Fact. The Planning and Development Department, having reviewed all evidence
submitted by the applicant and requirements of the Community Development Code, finds that
there is substantial competent evidence to support the foilowing findings of fact:
1. The 2.689 total acres (2.37 acres zoned Tourist District; 0.319 acres zoned Open
Space/Recreation) located on the south side of S. Gulfview Boulevard approximately 600 feet
east of Hamden Drive;
2. The site is comprised of two parcels;
3. The proposal is to construct a 186-unit overnight accommodation use at a density of 78.48
rooms/acre, which includes the allocation of 68 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under
Beach by Design;
4. A companion Development Agreement (DVA2008-00002) that must be approved by City
Council is also on this CDB agenda is, providing for the allocation of the 68 units from the
Hotel Density Reserve;
5. The proposal includes retaining the existing parking garage, restaurant, nightclub and 46
hotel rooms in the existing buildings on the western portion of the site;
6. The proposal includes the construction of a new building on the east side of the property with
140 hotel rooms at a height of 134 feet (to the top of the flat roof deck)
7. This proposal complies with the maximum building height allowable under Beach by Design
and with approved and existing buildings between S. Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of
Mexico;
Community Development Board -November 17, 2009
FLD2008-12033 -Page 11 of 13
8. On-site parking will be increased through the construction of a garage in the new building
with 164 total parking spaces, in addition to the 220 parking spaces in the existing parking
garage, for a total of 384 parking spaces;
9. The proposal includes setback reductions from all property lines;
10. Since this proposal was submitted prior to the Code amendments moderating hotel densities
based on the amount of accessory uses, upon construction of this hotel, this site will become
a nonconforming use due to number of rooms;
11. Since this proposal was submitted prior to some of the Code amendments moderating hotel
densities and intensities based on the amount of accessory uses, upon construction of this
hotel, this site will become a nonconforming due to the number of parking spaces provided;
and
12. There is no outstanding Code Enforcement issues associated with the subject property.
Conclusions of Law. The Planning and Development Department, having made the above
findings of fact, reaches the following conclusions of law:
1. That the development proposal is consistent with the Standards as per Tables 2-801.1 and 2-
803 of the Community Development Code;
2. That the development proposal is consistent with the Flexibility criteria as per Section 2-
803.C of the Community Development Code;
3. That the development proposal is consistent with the General Standards for Level Two
Approvals as per Section 3-913 of the Community Development Code; and
4. That the development proposal is consistent with the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design.
Based upon the above, the Planning and Development Department recommends APPROVAL of
the (1) Flexible Development application to permit the redevelopment of an existing 96-unit
overnight accommodation use in the Tourist (T) District to a 186-unit overnight accommodation
use with a lot area of 2.37 acres (zoned T District), a lot width of 243 feet along S. Gulfview
Blvd. (north), a front (north) setback of 15 feet (to existing building), 11.2 feet (to proposed
building), 6.5 feet (to proposed sidewalk) and 6.79 feet (to proposed pavement), a side (east)
setback of 9.58 feet (to existing waverunner accessory building) and 15.44 feet (to proposed
building and decking), a side (west) setback of zero feet (to existing building, pavement and
decking), a rear (south) setback of 22 feet (to existing building), 59.25 feet (to proposed building)
and zero feet (to existing/proposed patio decking), a building height of 134 feet (to top of roof
deck) and a total of 384 parking spaces (self- park and valet in existing garage; valet-only in new
garage), as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-
803.C; and (2) Increase of the permitted density by the allocation of 68 overnight accommodation
units from the Hotel Density Reserve created pursuant to Beach by Design, with the following
conditions:

EXHIBIT "B"
TO FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR
COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
SHEPHARD'S BEACH RESORT, INC.
619 S. GULFVIEW BLVD.
Section B. Description of Request
The applicant Shephard's Beach Resort, Inc., has owned the property located at 619 S. Gulfview
Boulevard ("Subject Property") for over 28 years. On the Subject Property, the applicant
successfully operates a 96 room, three diamond resort, which is known as the Shephard's Beach
Resort. Shephard's has been a staple in the beach community for close to three decades,
providing relaxing overnight accommodations, breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico and
sunsets, good food, and great entertainment. The existing portion of Shephard's to remain
includes 96 hotel rooms, a 220 space non-peak parking garage, and other accessory uses. The
number of overnight accommodation units on Clearwater Beach has been significantly reduced
as a result of the hotel to condominium conversion over the recent years. In response, the
applicant proposes to continue the existing overnight accommodation use and redevelop the
Subject Property by renovating the existing hotel rooms and add additional mid-priced hotel
rooms.
A development agreement application is also submitted to transfer 68 hotel units from the
available density reserve to this project based upon meeting the City requirements.
Specifically, the applicant seeks flexible development approval of a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project, in accordance with the plans submitted with this application, including
the following:
1. Flexible Development approval for the redevelopment of the overa112.689 acre
property zoned tourist (T) District and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) to permit a
186-unit overnight accommodation use within the Tourist (T) District containing 2.37
acres.
2. Lot width of 243-feet along S. Gulfview Blvd. (north)
3. Front setback of 15.56-feet to existing building (north)
4. Front setback of 11.20-feet to proposed building (north)
5. Front setback of 6.50-feet to proposed pavement (north)
6. Side setback of 15.44-feet to proposed building (east)
7. Side setback of 0-feet to existing pavement (west)
8. Side setback of 0-feet to existing building (west)
9. Rear setback of 22.00-feet to existing building and patio/boardwalk (south)
10. Rear setback of 5.20-feet to proposed building from seawall (south)
11. Rear setback of 39.51-feet to proposed building from property line (south)
12. Rear setback of 0.00-feet to proposed pavement from seawall (south)
13. Rear setback of 22.00-feet to existing building from property line (south)
14. A building height of 133'-10" from BFE to top of roof deck
15.316 valet-only parking spaces plus 68 overflow spaces included for 384 total
16. Increase the permitted density by allocation of 68 overnight accommodation units
from the reserve pool created pursuant to Beach by Design
Section D. Written Submittal Requirements
General Applicability Criteria:
1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk,
coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
West: The adjacent property to the west is the renovated Holiday Inn, which is being
converted to a mixed-use hotel/condominium development.
North: The adjacent property to the north is a Hess gas station and convenience store,
which will benefit from the proposed use and will serve the guests of the resort.
East: The adjacent property to the east is the existing Econo Lodge Motel.
South: The subject property is bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mexico and
Clearwater Pass.
The scale and size of the 2.689-acre project is less than the adjacent 4.87-acre
Holiday Inn project. The proposed total 186 rooms are similar to the HI phase one
total rooms of 189, and include the same character of overnight accommodations with
accessory uses. The proposed building height of 133'-10" is within 22-feet of the
adjacent HI building with similar height. Based on the similar characteristics of the
adjacent development, the proposed development will be in harmony with the scale,
bulk, coverage, density and character of the adjacent property that has been
renovated.
2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate
development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the
value thereof.
The Subject Property is currently occupied by the Shephard's Beach Resort, a 96-
room mid-priced resort hotel, which is less than 60' in height and constructed in
1957. Forty rooms of the existing 96 rooms, a 192 parking space parking garage, and
a night club were added to the Subject Property in 2001. The proposed project will
improve current conditions on the Subject Property in a number of ways, including:
(1) Superior architectural design, including tiered effect, and upgraded landscaping
which will visually enhance the neighborhood and the beach community;
(2) Construction of a new building which meets current building Codes, as opposed
to maintaining the existing outdated building constructed over 45 years ago;
(3) Surrounding property value will be positively impacted due to the construction of
anew hotel, pool deck and site improvements. The project carries forward the
redevelopment of the area started by the adjacent project to the north.
These improvements will in no manner be a hindrance, but will serve to increase
surrounding property values, improve safety and enhance the views of the site from
adjacent parcels. The hotel guests of the proposed project will be potential clientele of
nearby restaurants and other businesses. The hotel is consistent with the surrounding
redevelopment, and will provide the tourist industry with update accommodations and
group meeting space.
3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Demolition of the existing hotel built in 1957 and the construction of the proposed
structures built to current building Codes, improves the safety of the building
occupants and neighbors. The pedestrian access along Gulfview Boulevard will be
modified to tie into the relocated driveways, but maintain handicapped access and
enhanced sidewalk width. The project includes overnight accommodations and
accessory uses that are consistent with the tourist district and does not contain any
uses that would affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood.
4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
The applicant has provided a parking and trip generation study for the proposed
project showing an excess amount of parking spaces compared with minimum
requirements by code.
The existing dead end parking lot will be removed and replaced with a front covered
entrance for vehicle drop off, and a valet parking system with 236 stalls allocated that
will speed up the circulation movements of the existing self park stalls in the parking
garage.
5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
The Subject property is located within Clearwater Pass District. The project is also
consistent with the community character of the Clearwater Pass District, which Beach
by Design describes as an area of mixed uses, including mid-priced motels and
condominiums. As previously stated, the Subject Property currently functions as a
hotel. The proposed use does not change the character, rather update and enhance the
tourist area by providing moderately priced updated hotel rooms and accessory uses.
6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including
visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent
properties.
The proposed redevelopment project will improve the visual appeal at this south end
of Clearwater Beach, which is also visible from Clearwater Pass, the Sand Key
Bridge, and Sand Key Park. The architectural style integrates a seaside beach motel
design, which is appropriate and aesthetically pleasing for this waterfront property.
The acoustic, olfactory and hours of operation for the proposed redevelopment project
are consistent with the Subject Property's current use and the surrounding uses on the
beach. The existing dead end surface parking is being relocated into an enclosed
parking garage which will reduce noise and acoustic impacts of the cars. The
applicant currently has an occupational license to operate a restaurant and will
redevelop the Subject Property to include an upscale restaurant. The applicant is
taking special care to create an enhanced "resort environment" with mid-priced
rooms, which will benefit adjacent properties and businesses. The active areas such
as the existing stage and pool bars are located in the rear of the project surrounded on
three sides by buildings to minimize the impacts to adjacent property owners. The
additional height will also serve to block sound escaping from the property, especially
to the east, although the sound is well within the decibel level limit permitted by the
City, having the sound better contained within the property will be a benefit. These
uses are however, a positive impact and are highly utilized by both local patrons and
tourists thereby increasing the tax revenues generated by the tourist district.
EXHIBIT D
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project Criteria
1. The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without
deviations from the use and/or development standards set forth in this
zoning district.
Height
The request for 133'-10" when 35'-100' is allowed by Code is consistent with the
Design Guidelines of Beach by Design which provide that height may be
increased to 150' if additional density is allocated to the development with bonus
hotel units. There is a reasonable relationship between the height increase and
the 68 additional resort hotel units based upon other cases recommended for
approval by staff and actually approved by CDB consistent with Beach by
Design. The additional height will allow for the increase in developable rooms,
the necessary parking to be placed within an enclosed parking garage, rather
than a surface parking lot and the ability to include amenities common to
moderately priced hotels along the beach.
Parking
The Applicant has requested relief from Code parking requirements due to the
fact that the parking serving the hotel will be full valet service. As such, the
proposed plans incorporate a total of 316 non-peak full valet parking spaces and
384 peak full valet parking spaces in both garages.
Setbacks
The proposed front pavement setback reduction from 15.0 feet to 6.79 feet is
required due to need for an exit driveway out of the proposed parking garage
without an additional curb cut. The proposed planting areas along South
Gulfview will be in excess of minimum requirements and heavily landscaped to
screen the driveway and offset the requested relief. No surface parking is
proposed as part of the new construction.
The existing side pavement setback reduction from 10.0 feet to 0.0 feet was
approved under DCAB Case Number V-98-05 for a loading area which is
currently active and services the existing hotel.
The existing side building overhang reduction from 10.0 to 0.0 feet was approved
under DCAB Case Number V-98-05 for the covered storage and work area
associated with deliveries and food storage.
2. The development or redevelopment will be consistent with the goals and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as with the general purpose,
intent and basic planning objectives of this Code, and with the intent and
purpose of this zoning district.
Overnight accommodations are allowed
uses in the "Resort Facilities High"
residential/overnight accommodation."
in the "Tourist" zoning district. Primary
land use category are "high density
3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding properties.
The proposed project is compatible with the neighborhood, as is more particularly
discussed in General Applicability Criteria 1 and Comprehensive Infill Criteria 4
below, and will not impede other development. The improvement of the site will
pave the way for future redevelopment and set an example for the style of quality
architecture envisioned by Beach by Design.
4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the
proposed development.
There is no anticipated damage or loss to the adjoining properties. The
requested side setback reductions along the west property line are existing
conditions that currently exist. No further construction will take place along the
west property line. The proposed construction along the east property line will
comply with the required code setbacks, along with a larger than required green
area. The proposed height is consistent with adjacent re-development activity
west of the site. In addition the updated hotel will provide an increase in tourist
visits that will utilize the services of the surrounding restaurants, bars, and retail
businesses.
5. The proposed use shall otherwise k
land use category, be compatible
substantially alter the essential use
and shall demonstrate compliance
objectives:
e permitted by the underlying future
with adjacent land uses, will not
characteristics of the neighborhood;
with one or more of the following
a. The proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum
standard, flexible standard or flexible development use;
b. The proposed use would be a significant economic contributor to
the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy or by
creating jobs;
c. The development proposal accommodates the expansion or
redevelopment of an existing economic contributor;
d. The proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing;
e. The proposed use provides for development or redevelopment in an
area that is characterized by other similar development and where a
land use plan amendment and rezoning would result in a spot land
use or zoning designation; or
f. The proposed use provides for the development of a new, and/or
preservation of a working waterfront use.
The proposed use meets several of these criteria. Overnight accommodations
are permitted by the "Resort Facilities High" land use category and in the
"Tourist" zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard, and flexible
use. Redevelopment of Clearwater Beach is a significant economic contributor
to the City. The proposed use is an economic contributor by increasing the
number of tourists to Clearwater Beach and encouraging patronization of local
businesses. The proposed project will generate new jobs in the City of
Clearwater. The proposed use as overnight accommodations is characteristic of
the neighborhood, specifically as the entrance to South Clearwater Beach. The
use of the property is the same as the property immediately to the east and west
and compatible with the redeveloped site to the west based on size, height and
other development criteria.
The proposed development also expands an existing economic contributor by
expanding the rooms available, updated the quality of the hotel with new rooms
and a parking garage, while providing additional employment opportunities to
hotel support staff based on an expansion of facilities.
6. Flexibility with regard to use, lot width, required setbacks, height and off-
street parking are justified based on demonstrated compliance with all of
the following design objectives:
a. The proposed development will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of the surrounding properties for
uses permitted in this zoning district.
The requested side setback variances along the west property line are for
existing conditions pertaining to the existing pavement, freezers and
building canopy. The property affected by the reductions is currently
under redevelopment based on approved plans that took into account the
existing conditions on the subject property, and has impeded the
development of the site. The height variance is similar to the variance
approved on the property west of the site. The height is also consistent
with other approvals within the tourist district of the "beachfront property."
It is anticipated that the remainder of the future development property
along South Gulfview will develop in a similar highest and best use.
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design
guidelines adopted by the City.
The proposed project is designed to meet the requirements of Beach by
Design in scale, bulk, coverage, density, and character. The stepped
massing of the project is derived from the massing requirements of Beach
by Design. The project places active spaces internal to the project site to
reduce noise transmission and visual distraction to adjacent properties.
The location of the units on the site provides all units in the project with
water views and provides easy access for all guests to the nearby
businesses by providing a handicapped accessible sidewalk from the
front entrance of the building to the adjacent sidewalk within the right of
way. This project furthers the City's beachside revitalization objective of
creating by punctuating the newly improved beachfront with a moderately
priced accommodations priced from $165 to $260 per night. The project's
"modern tropical" architecture compliments the tropical vernacular
envisioned in Beach by Design.
We provide the following information concerning the height, tower separation, design,
scale, and mass criteria:
Heiaht and Tower Seaaration
The project consists of an existing two story hotel connected to an existing dining facility,
public spaces, six story guest towers, and parking garage. The Owner proposes to
demolish the vast majority of existing two story portion of the hotel, while retaining the
balance of the buildings on the property and constructing a new tower, 133'-10" in height
as measured from the FEMA minimum flood plain elevation to the top of the main roof.
Per Beach by Design VII B:
"...the height may be increased, however to one hundred fifty feet (150')
if":
B. 1. "Additional density is allocated to fhe development by .., bonus hofe/
units... "
a) The project is requesting 68 units from the hotel density reserve.
6.2 (a) "Portions of any structures which exceed one hundred feet (100')
(in height) are spaced at least 100' apart." and "For structures which
exceed 100' within 800'....do not occupy 40% of a north south vertical
plane..."
a) There are no projects which exceed 100' within 800' of the proposed
development. (See Attached Development Relationship Plan)
• B.3. "The floor plate of any portion of a building that exceeds forty-hve
feet in height is limited as follows:
a) The largest floor plate between 45' and 100' does not exceed 25,000
square feet and is 21,038 square feet.
b) The largest floor p/afe between 100' and 150' exceeds 10,000 square
feet and is approximately 15,292 square feet at the 11~' and 12th
levels. Per Beach by Design deviations to the above floorplate
requirements maybe approved provided the mass and scale of the
design creates a tiered effect and complies with the maximum
building envelop allowance above 45'. The proposed building does
not exceed 25,000 square feet and the mass/sca/e of the building
creates a tiered effect thus allowing a deviation from Beach by
Design. The floor plate of the building above fhe 45-feef level offset
occurs at elevation 43'-8"and is offset by 8'-9': Once we reach
elevation 100-feet (actual 82'-4"), the building is offset again by 5'-0"
as prescribed by Beach by Design.
c) Design, Scale and Mass of Building:
1. Buildings with a footprint of greater than 5000 square feet or a
single dimension of greater than one hundred (100) feet will be
constructed so that no more than two (2) of the three (3) building
dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in
length. For this purpose, equal in length means that the two
lengths vary by less than forty (40%) of the shorter of the two (2)
lengths. The horizontal plan measurements relate to the
footprint of the building.
a. The plans have been organized so that no more than two (2) of
the three (3) building dimensions in the vertical or horizontal
planes are equal in length.
2. No plane of a building may continue uninterrupted for greater
than one hundred linear feet (100'). For the purpose of this
standard, interrupted means an offset of greater than five feet
(5').
a. The plans have been organized so that no plane of the building
will continue uninterrupted for greater that one hundred linear feet
(100').
3. At least sixty percent (60%) of any elevation will be covered with
windows or architectural decoration. For the purpose of this
standard, an elevation is that portion of a building that is visible
from a particular point outside the parcel proposed for
development.
a. A tabulation of glazing has been placed on Sheets A-20B and A-
21 B.
4. No more than sixty percent (75%) of the theoretical maximum
building envelope located above forty-five feet (45') will be
occupied by a building. For the purpose of this standard,
theoretical maximum building envelope is the maximum
permitted building volume that could be theoretically occupied
by a building including any portion of the maximum possible
building envelope that is not visible from a public street.
a. Pease see illustration below indicating how the mass of the
building is no more that twelve percent (12%) of the theoretical
maximum building envelope for existing and proposed located
above forty-five feet (45').

5. The height and mass of buildings will be correlated to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel of the parcel proposed for
development and (2) adjacent public spaces such as streets and
parks.
a. The building has been designed to comply with this requirement of
Beach by Design.
6. Buildings may be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of
permitting uses.
a. The building is designed to provide a moderately priced waterfront
family style hotel with a pool, restaurant, nightclub, and other
accessory services.
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design
guidelines adopted by the City.
c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development
supports the established or emerging character of an area;
a. The proposed site creates a visually responsive design for
the emerging character of Clearwater Beach and seeks to
facilitate a dialogue with the surrounding areas by
incorporating a number of architectural elements which
speaks to the human scale such as the entrance portico, the
awnings located along north and east elevations as well as
the landscape which plays the most important role in
communicating to the human scale. .
d. In order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive
appearance, the proposed development incorporates a
substantial number of the following design elements:
• Changes in horizontal building planes;
The building design provides multiple horizontal plane
changes which allows the building to create a tiered effect
at the higher elevations by offsetting the floor plate of the
building above the 45' level, (actual offset occurs at 43' 8'~,
by 8' 9"and again offsetting the floor plate at the 100' level,
(actual offset occurs at 82' 4'~, by 5°-0" as prescribed by
Beach by Design.
• Use of architectural details such as cornices,
medallions, awnings, columns, etc;
The building utilizes a variety of architectural elements
beginning with the angled columns at the portico entrance
as well as the free standing columns which penetrates the
balconies and frames the south elevation. The use of a
cornice has been placed at the very top of the building to
create a termination point for the facade. Pilasters can be
found throughout all four elevations of the new and existing
buildings further creating cohesiveness among the project.
The balconies give the building more character by
projecting off the building and by also creating transitional
nodes along the elevations. The railings on the balconies
shall be picket type matching the old tower on the property.
The use of awnings can be found along the "Beach Walk"
in order to bring the building down to human scale.
• Variety in materials, colors and textures;
A variety of materials have been introduced to make this
project architecturally pleasing such as the smooth white
stucco that will blanket a majority of the walls. Green
screen walls are located on the east and west elevations of
the pool deck which further provides color, texture and
material variation and is used to mask the garage and
introduce a tropical environment for the pool deck. The
decorative metal mesh screening provides another layer of
material which is primarily used to hide the parking
structures. The glazing on the building and the picket
railings on the balconies also adds another layer of detail
to the project.
Distinctive fenestration patterns;
The fenestration pattern on the lower levels of the west
elevation relate to the function behind them. They are
large glazed openings to reveal the retail space behind
them. Located above the glazed openings is the green
screen trellis system used to mask the garage and create a
natural environment for the pool deck. On the north and
south elevations the lower level fenestrations are metal
mesh screening panels with reveal patterns. The metal
mesh screening panel system helps ensure the garage
can be classified as an open garage per The Florida
Building Code section 406 opening requirements. The
East elevation utilizes the same metal mesh screening
located on the north and south elevations; however this
elevation is more distinct because of the projections
created approximately every 29' 0" to comply with the
Beach by Design horizontal dimensional criteria. Glazed
fenestrations are used primarily throughout the tower
elevations to provide daylight to the hotel units and
common areas.
Building setbacks;
In the vertical plane the building design provides multiple
step backs which allows the building to create a tiered
effect at the higher elevations by offsetting the floor plate
of the building above the 45' level, (actual offset occurs at
43' 8'~, by 8' 9" and again offsetting the floor plate at the
100' level, (actual offset occurs at 82' 4'~, by 5' 0" as
prescribed by Beach by Design. In the horizontal plane
the building continues to step back and forth with 5°-0" or
more offsets at not more than 100' 0"intervals.
• Distinctive roofs forms.
The building's roof design creates unique and distinctive
forms in the new tower with angled projections at 3 of the
four corners. These architectural elements are also
repeated at the existing stair towers of the old building to
create a greater level of cohesiveness among the project.
e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers,
enhanced landscape design and appropriate distances
between buildings.
The proposed project consists of overnight accommodations and
assesory uses which will be visually enhanced on three sides of the
property. These enhancements will correspond with the
development to the west of Shephards creating a visual
appearance along S. Gulfview.
The east buffer will have a with a 5-foot landscape buffer consisting
of Variegated Pittosporums and groups of Sabal palms between the
proposed stormwater vaults and property line.
On the west side of the property there is an existing fence that will
be left intact for screening purposes with additional linear footage
vinyl fencing. This area also consists of existing vegetation which
creates a screening effect from the hotel to the west.
The area on the north side of the property contains existing
vegetation and a broad range of landscaping enhancements. The
front of the property will match the newly redeveloped hotel
landscaped frontage along S. Gulfview and will be a great
enhancement to Shephards Beach Resort. Seagrapes will also be
installed along the accessory uses creating a screened effect from
pedestrian and other establishments.
The south property line is limited on landscape enhancements due
to the buffer along the south property line includes a low
maintenance viburnum hedge and palm trees. It is anticipated that
once the property south of this development is redeveloped, the
same condition as the north property line will be encountered
without public view or access.

I. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is proposing to redevelop their property on Clearwater Beach into a
186 room resort hotel. (See Figure 1} The redevelopment of the property is the
subject of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment in Tourist "T" zoning district.
This application requires an assessment of the parking characteristics of the
redevelopment. Shepard's cu~Tently has 96 existing hotel rooms and is located at
619 S. Gulfview Boulevard. The existing parking garage is manned by valet
service and has the ability to park up to 220 cars for peak conditions. Some
surface spaces are open for self-parking. Based on City of Clearwater
requirements, on-site parking should include 1.2 parking spaces per hotel room.
This would result in a code requirement of 224 parking spaces.
The City of Clearwater has requested a detailed analysis estimating the number of
parking spaces actually needed to service the various functions of the proposed
resort hotel once it is redeveloped. Prior to completing this analysis a
methodology was established with the City of Clearwater staff. This parking study
has been revised numerous times based on comments received by the City of
Clearwater staff and subsequent modifications to the plan.
II. PARKING SUPPLY
After redevelopment a new parking garage will be constructed on the eastern
portion of the site and the surface spaces will be removed. The total parking
supply under noi•rnal operations will be 316 code compliant spaces, however with
the ability to park up to 68 vehicles in garage aisles (28 in the existing garage and
40 in the proposed garage} during peak demand periods the ultimate total will be
384 spaces in the garages. The existing garage will be serviced by valets on an as-
needed basis, and the proposed garage serviced by valets at all times. In addition,
vehicle stacking will be provided in the porte-cochere area.
III. PARKING DI{aMAND
Shepard's Beach Resort will have several components that will generate the need
for parking vehicles. The facility will include 186 hotel rooms, internal restaurant,
a small retail gift shop, a night club, and meeting rooms with seating for up to 300
meeting attendees. The facility is designed to encourage the interaction between
the hotel guests and these other accessory on-site uses. The general manager of
Shepard's provided data regarding expected staffing, occupancy, hours of
operation of accessory uses, and mode of travel of staff and hotel guests. The
parking demand assumptions for hotel staff, hotel guests, retail/night club staff,
night club patrons and meeting attendees are summarized in Table 1.
Hotel staff will operate on three shifts per day. Shift A (7 AM -3:30 PM would
employ 45 staff members under normal operations and up to 65 staff under full
occupancy. Shift B (3 PM - 11:30 PM} would employ 45 staff members under

normal operations and up to 65 staff under full occupancy. Sluff C (11 PM -7
AM) would employ 10 staff members under normal operations up to 20 staff
under full occupancy, The gift shop (7 AM - 11 PM} and the night club (9 PM - 2
AM) would require 10 employees under normal operations and up to 15
employees under peak season operations. Based on existing employee travel
patterns approximately 40% of the employees will require a parkuig space since
many employees travel by bus, trolley, and bicycle.
During normal occupancy periods 70% of the hotel rooms are expected to be
occupied which translates to 130 rooms. During rare full occupancy all 18d rooms
would be used. Based on existing travel patterns approximately 50% of the hotel
guests would require a parking space for a rental car, whereas the remaining SO%
would arrive by others modes of travel such as taxicab, limousine service or hotel
shuttle.
The on-site night club is expected to serve 210 patrons on normal nights and up to
300 patrons during peak season. The night club primarily draws from hotel guests
or guests of other hotels within walking distance, however, it was assumed 20%
of the patrons would use a car requiring a parking space.
The outdoor Tiki Deck is expected to serve 200 patrons on normal days and up to
300 patrons during peak season. The Tiki Deck primarily draws from hotel guests
or guests of other hotels within walking distance, however, it was assumed 20%
of the patrons would arrive by car requiring a parking space. The outdoor Tiki
Deck is normally utilized in the afternoon and early evenings dtu•ing daylight
hours.
Meeting room capacity is 300 attendees. Shepards intends to market the meeting
rooms to hotel guests therefore it was assumed 80% of the attendees would be
hotel guests, and the remaining 20% would be arriving by car with an average of
2 persons per car. This would generate the need for 30 parking spaces. meeting
were assumed to occur between 9 AM and 6 PM.
A. NORMAL OCCUPANCY
An analysis was conducted by time-of--day to determine the total number of
parking spaces needed for normal occupancy conditions with no meetings. Table
2 summarizes the parking demand for this condition as ranging between 69 and
142 parking spaces.
B. FULL OCCUPANCY WITH MEETINGS
An analysis was conducted by time-of--day to detei•~nine the total number of
parking spaces needed for full occupancy conditions with 300 meeting attendees.

Table 3 summarizes the parking demand for this condition as ranging between
101 and 236 parking spaces.
IV. COMPARION OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND
A comparison was made to determine whether the calculated parking demand can
be reasonably met with the proposed number of spaces to be provided on-site.
During periods of normal occupancy the 142 space demand represents 45% of the
proposed parking supply. During periods of foil occupancy the 236 space demand
represents 75% of the standard parking supply of 316 code-compliant spaces and
61% of the total proposed parking supply of 384 spaces including aisle valet
parking in the garages. As such adequate parking will be provided for the hotel
operations.
V. CONCLUSION
This analysis was conducted in accordance with a specific methodology
established with City of Clearwater staff and unique characteristics of Shepard's
Beach Resort. This analysis demonstrates hotel operations can easily be
accommodated with the proposed 316 on-site parking spaces and 68 overflow
parking spaces.

STORMWATER NARRATIVE
Existing Conditions
The site currently contains no stormwater treatment or attenuation systems. The
stormwater runoff currently runs directly into the City right of way and Clearwater Pass.
Proposed Conditions
SWFWMD and City of Clearwater stormwater criteria require treatment of the first 3/" of
runoff over the new construction area prior to discharge to the Gulf of Mexico.
The proposed storm water treatment and attenuation system consists of a 22.66 ft x 41.92 ft
x 3 ft[deep] concrete vault in series with a StonnTrap Concrete Vault System. The
aforementioned storm water system provides 4,092 cubic feet of treatment volume prior to
discharging thru a control. structure [weir/control elev. = 5.50] into Clearwater Pass.
Details of the treatment system are provided within the civil construction plans.

Tree Inventory
Shephard's Beach Resort, Inc.
Clearwater, Florida
Prepared by Alan Mayberry November 23, 2008
For: Keith Zayac & Associates, Inc.
The following report is submitted by Alan Mayberry, Consulting Arborist, and includes
findings that I believe are accurate based on my education, experience and knowledge in
the field of Arboriculture. I have no interest personally or financially in this property and
my report is factual and unbiased. This report is the property of Keith Zayac &
Associates and will not be given to other entities unless so directed.
Site Overview and Tree Canopy Analysis
The subject site is commercial property located on Clearwater Beach. The site consists of
a variety of palm species growing in landscape islands within parking lots or in landscape
buffers adjacent to parking lots. The species include the native sabal palm (Sabal
palmetto) and several exotic palms including the Washington palm (Washingtonia
robusta), California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera), Senegal date palm (Phoenix
reclinata), Bottle palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis), Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera),
Alexandra palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae), Pygmy date palm (Phoenix roebelenii),
Royal palm (Roystonea regia -native to South Florida), Queen palm (Syagrus
romanzoffiana), and Foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata). The palms in general have been
pruned too hard. Only dead and dying fronds should be removed as the palm recycles
nutrients back to the bud from the declining frond. The palms should be fertilized four
times a year with a palm special fertilizer from Lesco with a formula of 8-2-12-4 (N,P,K,
+ Mg) and should be irrigated with an automatic system that targets the needs o f the
individual species. With a few exceptions the palms are sufficiently healthy to warrant
preservation or transplanting on site. All trees and palms with an overall condition rating
of 3.0 and above on the following inventory are considered worthy of preservation or
transplanting.
Tree Inventory Data
A tree inventory is a written record of a tree's condition at the time of inspection. It is a
valuable tool to prioritize tree maintenance and remove trees with problems that could
lead to failure and cause personal injury or property damage. The tree inventory lists four
codes and also has a comment section. The following is an explanation of the data used in
the inventory:
Tree# -location -Each tree is assigned a number for reference in the inventory that
corresponds with a number on the site plan that identifies the location of the tree in the
field.
Size -Tree size is a measure of the tree's trunk diameter measured at 4.5' above grade. If
there is a fork in the trunk at that point the diameter is measured at the narrowest area
below the fork. Palm species are measured in feet of clear trunk (C.T.).
Species -Each tree is listed by its common and botanical name the first time it is listed in
the inventory. For simplicity the tree is listed by its common name thereafter.
Condition Rating -The condition rating is an assessment of the tree's overall structural
strength and systemic health. Elements of structure include: 1) the presence of cavities,
decayed wood, split, cracked, rubbing branches etc., 2) branch arrangements and
attachments, i.e., well spaced vs. several branches emanating from the same area on the
trunk, codominant stems vs. single leader trunk, presence of branch collars vs. included
bark.
Elements of systemic health relate to the tree's overall energy system measured by net
photosynthesis (food made) vs. respiration (food used). A tree with good systemic health
will have a vascular system that moves water, nutrients and photosynthate around the tree
as needed. Indicators of a healthy systemic system used in the overall condition rating
include: 1) live crown ratio (the amount of live crown a tree has relative to its mass), 2)
crown density (density of the foliage), 3) tip growth (shoot elongation is a sign that the
tree is making and storing energy.
The overall condition rating also takes into consideration the species, appearance and any
unique features. The rating scale is 0-6 with 0 being a dead tree and 6 a specimen.
Increments of 0.5 are used to increase accuracy. Examples of the tree rating system are as
follows:
0- A dead tree
1- A tree that is dying, severely declining, hazardous, harboring a communicable disease
or a tree designated by the State of Florida's Exotic Pest Plant Council as a category #1
ecological pest i.e., Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius). Atree with a rating
of 1 should be removed as it is beyond treatment and is a threat to cause personal injury
or property damage.
2 - A tree exhibiting serious structural defects such as codominant stems with included
bark at or near the base, large cavities, large areas of decayed wood, crown dieback,
cracked/split scaffold branches etc. In addition, a tree with health issues such as low
energy, low live crown ratio, serious disease or insect problems, nutritional deficiencies
or soil pH problems. A tree with a rating of #2 should be removed unless the problem(s)
can be .treated. A tree with a #2 condition rating will typically require a considerable
amount of maintenance to qualify for an upgrade of the condition rating.
3- A tree with average structure and systemic health and with problems that can be
corrected with moderate maintenance. A tree with a codominant stem not in the basal
area that will be subordinated or cabled and braced or a codominant stem that will soon
have included bark can be included as a #3. A tree with a rating of #3 has average
appearance, crown density and live crown ratio and should be preserved if possible.
4- A tree with a rating of 4 has good structure and systemic health with minor problems
that can be easily corrected with minor maintenance. The tree should have an attractive
appearance and be essentially free of any debilitating disease or insect problem. The tree
should also have above average crown density and live crown ratio. Mature trees
exhibiting scars, old wounds, small cavities or other problems that are not debilitating can
be included in this group particularly if they possess unique form or other aesthetic
amenities relating to their age. A tree with a rating of 4 is valuable to the property and
should be preserved.
5 - A tree with very high live crown ratio and exceptional structure and systemic health
and virtually free of insect or disease problems or nutritional deficiencies. A tree in this
category should have a balanced crown with exceptional aesthetic amenities. A tree in
this category should be of a species that possesses characteristics inherent to longevity
and withstanding construction impacts. A tree with a #5 rating lends considerable value
to the site and should be incorporated into the site design. A tree with a #5 rating is
worthy of significant site plan modification to ensure its preservation.
6 - A specimen tree. A specimen tree is a tree that possesses a combination of superior
qualities in regards to systemic health, structural strength, crown density, live crown
ratio, form (balanced crown), overall aesthetic appeal, size, species, age and uniqueness.
A great effort should be made to preserve a specimen tree including shifting structures
that would adversely impact the tree. In addition, a specimen tree should have an
undisturbed area equal to its dripline (equal to the branch spread) to grow in. Only an
experienced and competent International Society of Arboriculture (I.S.A.) Certified
Arborist should be allowed work on a specimen tree.
Comments: The comment section serves to note observations relative to the tree but not
covered in the inventory data or expands on information in the inventory data. It may
include maintenance recommendations to improve the tree's overall condition rating. It
may also have recommendations on whether to remove or preserve a tree.
NOTE: A tree inventory is typically valid for 3-5 years. However, events such as
drought, lightning, mechanical root damage, freeze, improper maintenance and
severe storms can downgrade the rating value of a tree. Conversely, remedial
maintenance can upgrade the value. If you suspect that a tree has been adversely
affected, have the tree inspected by a qualified International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist.
Note: Whenever possible it is advised to adhere to inventory recommendations when
selecting trees to be preserved. For example, trees or palms rated 4.0 and higher should
be preserved if at all possible, while trees or palms rated 2.0 and lower should be
removed unless otherwise noted in the inventory. Trees or palms rated 2.5 are generally
recommended for removal unless remedial work is performed to upgrade them. Trees or
palms rated 3.0 and 3.5 are average trees that have good potential and warrant serious
consideration for preservation but not to the extent that site plan modifications are
necessary.
This tree inventory was conducted on November 23, 2008.
NOTE #1: The tree survey prepared by the site surveyor identifies several palms that
have less than 10' of clear trunk. Palms with less than 10' of clear trunk are not protected
by the City of Clearwater code and consequently are not included in the following tree
inventory. The palms are identified on the attached site plan with the initials NP (not
protected).
NOTE #2: The tree survey prepared by the site surveyor identifies several palms that are
in landscape buffers of adjacent properties. These palms were not included in the
following inventory as their root systems are contained within planters and they will not
be affected by future construction activities relative to the subject property.
NOTE #3: Trees and palms with a condition rating of 3.0 or greater are considered
worthy of preservation or transplanting on site. Trees and palms with a condition rating
of less then 3.0 are not recommended for preservation and are followed by a comment
section that describes the arboricultural reasons justifying the rating.

37 8" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 2.5
Comments: This tree is located 3' south of the sidewalk of Gulfview Boulevard and is
growing in a 6' wide landscape buffer between the sidewalk and parking lot. The tree is
downgraded due to the presence of a codominant stem with included bark in the main
crotch located 4.5' above grade. The codominant stem situation is compounded by the
removal of a 4" diameter branch that once formed a tri-dominant formation at this point.
The decay resulting from the branch removal will further weaken the affected area. The
crown has average live crown ratio and below average form due to excessive pruning and
competition from adjacent plants. Recommend removal.
