WRITTEN SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: (Section 3-913A) M Provide complete responses to the six (6) GENERAL APPLICABILITY CRITERIA - Explain how each criteria is achieved, in detail: 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. The surrounding commercial warehouse, light industrial, office and utility substation uses are all compatible with the proposed development. The height and bulk of the proposal are less than any of the adjacent uses. 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. Our appraiser has told us that the use proposed is the highest and best use for this speck tract. Keep in mind that there is an existing railroad track to the east of the site and that this facility will sit across from a warehouse to the east. What is proposed will represent an upgrade to the properties both to the east and south. No harm will be done to the properties to the west or north. 3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. There is no immediate residential use adjacent to the site. Indeed no residential properties abut or are across from this site. The Pinellas Trail to the east will be buffered along at least 80% percent of its length along East Street and thus not adversely affected by the proposal. Entry to the site will be from the north and the south from Court Street and Chestnut Street both being one-way thoroughfares. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. Court Street adjoins the site to the north and is one-way to the west. Chestnut Street which adjoins the site to the south is one-way east. Thus the North and South ingress and egress creates no turning problems in connection with the flow of traffic. Delivery vehicles will be able to pass through the site without backing up into or blocking either Chestnut or Court Streets. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The site presently is bounded by a railroadAight industrial area to the east. There is a utility substation under construction to the night and there are commercial properties, banks, office buildings and the like, to the south and west. What is proposed here is completely consistent with the surrounding environment. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. The design proposed will improve the site visually and there will be adequate buffering from properties to the west. Since no residential properties face the site or exist in the immediate vicinity there is no adverse impact on residential uses. O Provide complete responses to the ten (10) COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT CRITERIA (as applicable) -Explain how each criteria is achieved in detail: 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. No variances other than the use itself are being requested in connection with this application. The project's low F.A.R. is well below the intensity standards set forth in the Clearwater City Codes. ?sage 2 of 7 - Flexible Development Application - Comprehensive Inf ill Redevelopment Project- City of Clearwater 2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a comprehensive infill redevelopment project or residential infill project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. (Include the existing value of the site and the proposed value of the site with the improvements.) Again, our appraisal indicates that the proposed use is the highest and best for this site. If that be true then the development will increase and not adversely impact the property values of surrounding sites. 3. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater. The uses proposed here are permitted in the City of Clearwater and they are not prohibited within the downtown district zone. 4. The uses or mix of use within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are compatible with adjacent land uses. Surrounding properties (warehouse and railroad tract to the east, light manufacturing to the south, utility building to the north and offices to the west with no residential immediately adjacent) dictates that the proposal is compatible with its surroundings. 5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the, uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater. The suitability of the site is its availability to the traveling public. Court Street being one-way to the west and Chestnut Street being one-way to the east (both streets abut this site) makes it particularly suitable for the public convenience. There are no other known such sites between Chestnut and Court Streets. 6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a comprehensive infill redevelopment project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The excessive landscaping and the use of Mediterranean architectural style are intended to create a visually pleasant and compatible environment and will upgrade the immediate vicinity. 7. The design of the proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment project creates a form and function that enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole. Care has been taken to use a style of architecture with strong reference to traditional historical character of downtown Clearwater. That design effort creates a form and ambiance that enhances the community character of the site. 8. 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. No lot width, setback, height and off-street parking variances have been requested, thus no justification is called for. 9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of parcel proposed for development. All code required parking will be contained on-site and there will be no on-street parking resulting from the development of the site. Loading/unloading will be accomplished entirely within the site. 10. The design of all buildings complies with the Tourist District or Downtown District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3 (as applicable). Use separate sheets as necessary. The project is specifically designed to meet the design guidelines of the Downtown District and with this design we believe we have accomplished that purpose. 4 Page 3 of 7 - Flexible Development Application - Comprehensive Inf ill Redevelopment Project- City of Clearwater - E.SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMITTAL RECOEMENTS: (Code Section 4-202.A) IM SIGNED AND SEALED SURVEY (including legal description of property) - One original and 12 copies; ?

SERVICES CITY OF CLEARWATER The application of the Design Guidelines to this project is somewhat difficult since it is not part of an existing street facade or nestled-between existing buildings. As a stand-alone structure, perhaps the most significant application described in the guidelines is . . ."Newer buildings need to be sensitive and responsive to the scale and proportions of neighboring buildings." This facility is essentially a one-story small building with two adjacent canopies of similar size. The neighboring buildings to the south and east on two sides are one and two story structures which are best described as architecturally bland. The north and west side neighbors are 1960's office structures and a utility sub-station of,undetermined style which is under construction. Recognizing that . . . "Design review should be broadly oriented and encourage the creative application of design principles to a specific site. . our approach was to. examine the mature stand-. 11, alone buildings existing in the downtown area, and to derive our design palette from them. Our selection of a mediterranean revival motif was selected as the most suitable to the scale and ambience of this project. The materials, colors and trim details are all intended to reflect many of the better examples found ion and around the downtown of Clearwater. The very nature of this use is to create a large expanse of hard- scape for vehicles. While this design has it's share, we have actually reduced the paved area existing on this"site dramatically. This has allowed a significantly larger amount of landscaped perimeter to be created and soften the visual impression of this corner.

REG. #AA - 0002922 Wedding Mr. Wayne Wells Design Guideline Memo January 29, 2003 Page Two This approach, coupled with the stringent application of the signage ordinance at, the appropriate time, will yield a unique facility which will not only blend happily with the neighborhood but will establish.a significant aesthetic benchmark in the future retro-fit of the mostly industrial buildings which surround it. This facility exemplifies the careful application of the Design Guidelines and being cognizant of important features, elements and materials. Since "Design review values creativity .", this approach to an auto service facility should receive very high marks. Best regards, C. Randolph Wedding, FAIA/ASLA .

As you are aware, the current allowable use as established by the development order is a prohibited use per the Downtown Plan. As a result, in the event that said use is established, it is our opinion that it would be a non-conforming use. In granting the one-year extension, it is our hope that additional time will be afforded the property owner to pursue a use of the property that would reflect consistency with uses envisioned in the downtown plan. I believe that such an opportunity to establish a consistent future use is in the public interest thereby justifying the extension of time.

The Development Order states that an application must be made by March 22, 2006. The owner requests an extension of that date to March 22, 2007. As you know, The Cepcot Corporation has contracted to sell the Property to a developer interested in a residential/mixed use project, which, if approved, will be built instead of the gas station approved by the Development Order. In the event Cepcot is able to extend the Development Order to March 22, 2007, it will give both seller and buyer time to evaluate the viability of this development alternative. Section 4-407 of the Clearwater Community Development Code provides that "an extension of time to initiate a building permit may be granted by the community development coordinator provided it is for a period not to exceed one year, is for the project originally approved and provided good cause is shown and documented in CLEARWATER OFFICE TAMPA OFFICE 911 CHESTNUT ST. 403 EAST MADISON STREET POST OFFICE BOX 1368 (ZIP 33757-1368) SUITE 400 CLEARWATER, FLORIDA 33756-5643 POST OFFICE BOX 1100 (ZIP 33601-1100) TELEPHONE: (727) 461-1818 TAMPA, FLORIDA 33602 TELECOPIER: (727) 441-8617 TELEPHONE: (813) 225-2500 TELECOPIER: (813) 223-7118 JOHNSON, POPE, BOKOR, RUPPEL & BURNS, LLP ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS AT LAW Mr. Michael Delk June 23, 2005 Page 2 writing within the original period of validity."

CITY ATTORNF Appeal No. 03-5083AP-88B UCN 522003AP0050083XXXXCV ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI This matter is before the Court on the Petition for Writ of Certiorari, the Response and the Reply. Upon consideration of the same and being otherwise fully advised, the Court grants the Petition as set forth below. Petitioners Cepcot Corporation and-Clearwater Transportation (Cepcot) seek review of the Final Order entered December 2, 2003, by the City of Clearwater's (City) hearing officer, Administrative Law Judge Robert E. Meale.' This Order found that Cepcot had not met its burden of showing that the "decision of the community development cannot be sustained by the- evidence before the board, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of the law." Clearwater, Fla., Community Development Code (Code) § 4-505.C (2002) (setting forth the standard of review of decisions entered by the Community Development Board (Board)). Consequently, this Order affirmed the Board's June 20, 2003, Order, denying Although Judge Meale is an Administrative Law Judge with the Division of Administrative Hearings, he was not acting in that capacity in this matter. Instead, he was sitting as a hearing officer under § 4-505 of the City's Community Development Code. See Clearwater, Fla., Community Development Code § 4-505 (2002) (setting forth first level of appeal process from decisions of the Community Development Board ). . I Z' al T ZO?1Z9SLZL RauJo44d 8413 e9?,s T T s0 j a ueC • . • Cepcot's Flexible Development Application to build a convenience store with two islands for pumping gas. Cepcot owns real property located at 657 Court Street in the downtown zoning district of the City. The property is actually on the "fringe" of downtown and surrounding uses include offices, warehouses, and a utility plant. At the time Cepcot acquired the property, it housed a restaurant, thrift store and park. Cepcot, however, desired to replace the existing uses with a 3,200-square foot convenience store with two gas pump islands. A large impetus for this desire was the pending completion of the Memorial Causeway Bridge between the mainland and Clearwater Beach, which would bring a dramatic increase in traffic to the two streets bordering the property to the east and west. Because an automobile service station is not a permitted use within the downtown zoning district, Cepcot filed a Flexible Development Application for a comprehensive infill redevelopment project (CIRP) on December 17, 2002. In support of its application, Cepcot submitted detailed plans outlining the proposal's aesthetic features and consideration of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic from the nearby recreational Pinellas Trail. However, after reviewing Cepcot's plans, the City's Planning Department issued a Staff Report recommending that the application be denied. At the close of a public hearing on the application on June 17, 2003, the Board denied the application by a 4-2 vote. Cepcot then appealed the Board's decision to the City's hearing officer, who upheld the Board's determination. Cepcot then filed the present Petition. In reviewing the hearing officer's Final Order and the administrative action taken by the City, this Court must consider three factors: (1) whether Cepcot was afforded procedural due process; (2) whether the Board observed the essential requirements of the law; and (3) whether 2 E'al TZOb29SLZL ROUJO44U R4T3 e9bsTi So 12 Uer • • the Board's action is supported by competent substantial evidence. Haines City Cmty. Dev. v Heggs, 658 So. 2d 523, 530 (Fla. 1995) (setting forth standard of certiorari review of administrative action). As the first factor is not at issue in this matter, the Court's analysis will focus solely on the second and third factors. Cepcot claims that the Board departed from the essential requirements of the law by forcing it to bear the ultimate burden of establishing that the property could not be developed without the requested use deviation. Indeed, where a special exception is sought, the petitioner bears only the initial burden of showing that its application meets the pertinent statutory criteria. Florida Power & Light Co. v. City of Dania, 761 So. 2d 1089, 1091 (Fla. 2000). If petitioner meets its burden, then the burden shifts to the party opposing the special exception to demonstrate, by competent substantial evidence presented at the hearing and made part of the record, that the special exception does not meet the standards and that granting it would be adverse to the public interest. Id. at 1091-92. z The City contends that burden shifting was not appropriate because CEPCOT never met its initial burden of showing that it met the statutory criteria. This Court, however, finds that Cepcot met its prima facie burden; therefore, the Board erred in failing to present competent substantial evidence to refute Cepcot's showing. Section 2-903.C of the Code sets forth the following criteria for evaluating a CIRP: The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards; In its Response, the City briefly argues that Cepcot's application was for a conditional use rather than a special exception, apparently in an effort to persuade the Court that the burden would remain on Cepcot at all times. See Redner v. City of Tampa, 827 So. 2d 1056, 1059 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (indicating that in application for a variance, burden remains on applicant at all times). However, the City cites no law in support of its contention, and this Court agrees with Cepcot that its application was in the nature of a special exception. See id. (while a variance seeks relief from literal enforcement of a zoning ordinance to permit a use otherwise prohibited upon finding of practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, a special exception involves a departure from the general provisions of a zoning ordinance granted by the legislative process under the express provisions of the ordinance). tr•d Tzoira9SLZL ROUJO44U R4iO eLt,=TT so TZ uer • • 2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting properties; 3. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater; 4. The uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are compatible with adjacent land uses; Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater; The development of the parcel proposed for development as an comprehensive infill redevelopment projectvill upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; 7. The design of the proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment 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; 8. 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; 9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on- street parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; 10. The design of all buildings complies with the Downtown District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3. Code § 2-903.C. While the Planning Staff's report maintained that Cepcot failed to meet several of these criteria, Judge 1bleale found that Cepcot had failed to meet numbers 1 and 7 only, and the City has not argued the applicability of any other criteria. Therefore, this Court will focus on the first and seventh criteria as well. 4 S-d T20b29SL2L RaUJOIJd R4TO eL-IP=TT SO To Uer • L_J Cepcot maintained before both the Board and Judge Meale that it did not have to comply with the first criterion because it was not seeking a deviation from use, intensity and development but from use only. However, the Board certainly considered the other uses to which the property could be put, and Judge Meale specifically found that although the criterion uses the conjunctive "and," it should instead be interpreted as a disjunctive "or." Otherwise, the City would be unable to regulate certain uses at certain intensities. While an "or" reading other than an "and" reading might allow for a greater range of regulation, this Court cannot agree with Judge Meale that the City's use of "and" was inadvertent and should hence be disregarded. In evaluating statutory language, a court must first examine the provision's plain meaning. Moonlit Waters Apartments Inc. v Cauley, 666 So. 2d 898, 900 (Fla. 1996). "When the language of the statute is clear and unambiguous and conveys a clear and definite meaning, there is no occasion for resorting to the rules of statutory interpretation and construction; the statute must be given its plain and obvious meaning." Holly v. Auld, 450 So. 2d 217, 219 (Fla. 1984) (quoting A.R Douglass, Inc. v. McRainev, 102 Fla. 1141, 1144, 137 So. 157, 159 (Fla. 1931)), Here, the plain and obvious meaning of the first criterion is that the applicant does not have to present evidence that development is otherwise impractical unless it seeks a deviation from use, intensity, and development. While this might be a rare situation, it is certainly within the realm of possibility, and it is equally possible that the City intended to limit this criterion to applicants seeking a wide variety of deviation from the Code. Furthermore, there is no evidence in the record justifying a contrary interpretation. Therefore, this Court finds that by imposing this criterion upon Cepcot, the Board and the hearing officer failed to observe the essential requirements of the law. 5 9'd T20*,29SL2L Rau,aoggd R4TO eLb:ii SO TZ Uer • • Judge Meale also found that Cepcot had failed to meet the seventh criterion, which provides that the proposed project must enhance the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and of the city as a whole. On this provision, he noted: The immediate vicinity of the Property is occupied by offices, warehouses, and a small utility plant. A gas station and convenience store would serve the beach-bound traffic, although it would serve as well the nontransportation functions of surrounding uses. Additionally, the proposed project, as a nonurban convenience store with a couple of gas pumps, would cover little of the Property, and [the Board] may lawfully determine that the proposed project would appear disharmonious with the surrounding bulkier structures. However, a review of the transcript of the Board's hearing on Cepcot's Petition contains absolutely no discussion on whether the convenience store would be "disharmonious" with existing structures in the area. Further, a review of the record establishes that Cepcot met its prima facie burden as to the seventh criterion by, inter alia, presenting the testimony of Ethel Hammer, a noted urban planner, whom the Board recognized as an expert. Ms. Hammer testified that numerous urban areas allow for the type of development proposed by Cepcot and that furthermore, Cepcot's plan would provide the most pedestrian-friendly venue for users of the Pinellas Trail As provided in Dania, once Cepcot met its prima facie burden of showing that its plan satisfied the seventh criterion, it was incumbent upon the Board to find by substantial competent evidence placed in the record that the criterion was indeed not satisfied. However, a review of the record shows that no such finding was made. Therefore, once again this Court determines 6 L•d T20?1299LZL RaUJOIqu R4T3 eLb=11 90 TZ Uer • • that by placing the ultimate burden of proof regarding the seventh criterion upon Cepcot, the Board and the hearing officer failed to observe the essential requirements of the law.3 As this Court has determined that the Board failed to observe the essential requirements of the law, it need not consider whether the Board's determination was supported by substantial, competent evidence. For purposes of clarity on remand, however, this Court will address three additional issues. First, the Court is troubled by the Board's heavy reliance upon the planning report. While such a report may constitute competent, substantial evidence for or against approval of a proposal, see generally ABG Real Estate Dev. Co. v. St Johns County, 608 So. 2d 59, 63 (Fla. 5`h DCA 1992), in the present matter a great deal of the report was based upon pending changes to the Downtown Plan that would expressly prohibit gas pumps. However, Florida law specifically provides that revisions to a land use plan shall not take effect until they are adopted by`the local government. § 163.3197, Fla. Stat. (2004); Gardens Country Club, Inc. v. Palm Beach County, 590 So. 2d 488 (Fla. 4`h DCA 1991) (finding that county's review of special exception request under pending rather than existing land use plan was erroneous). In the present matter, no such adoption had yet occurred, and the Board was bound to follow the existing land use plan.4 3 Cepcot has also argued that the Board failed to observe the essential requirements of the law by insisting that it satisfy all 10 CIRP criteria. However, this Court is to give great deference to an agency's interpretation of its own provisions. See Golfcrest Nursing Home v. State 662 So. 2d 1330, 1333 (Fla. 0 DCA 1995) (appellate court will give deference to any interpretation by an agency that falls within the permissible range of statutory interpretations). Without any language in the Code as to how these provisions are to be weighed, this Court cannot conclude that it would be unreasonable for the Board to determine that all 10 need be met. 4 In contrast to pending land use plan changes, pending zoning changes may be considered when reviewing a land use application. Smith v. City of Clearwater, 383 So. 2d 681, 689 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980). Gardens Country Club explained this difference in treatment by noting that while a land use plan is "a statutorily mandated legislative plan to control and direct the use and development of property within a county or municipality," zoning "is the means by which the comprehensive plan is implemented, and involves the exercise of discretionary powers within limits imposed by the plan." 590 So. 2d at 490 (quoting Machado v. Musgrove, 519 So. 2d 629, 631-32 (Fla. 3`d DCA 1987)) (citations omitted). 7 B -d 120b29SL2L R8u.ao7,4U R110 eL?,e T T SO TZ Uer This Court recognizes that the Board expressed concern over considering the pending changes and actually voted to eliminate those changes as a stated basis for its denial of Cepcot's proposal. However, the planning report was so rife with references to these changes, and the City Planner cited them so many times during the Board meeting on Cepcot's application, that it is difficult to conclude that they played no role in the Board's deliberations. Therefore, this Court would suggest that the Planning Office prepare a new report eliminating all consideration of the pending downtown plan. Second, the parties dispute whether the Board may consider the general applicability requirements in Section 3-913 of the Code in deciding whether to approve an application. Cepcot contends that Section 3-913 places no additional requirements on applicants, but instead merely lists requirements that the Board must meet if it places any conditions on an approval. The City, however, maintains that since § 2-903 states that proposed uses are subject to the criteria set forth and other applicable provisions of Article 3, Article 2 "captures" the Article 3 requirements. This Court agrees with Cepcot that, under the plain language of the provisions, § 3-913 does not impose requirements on the applicant. Under § 2-903, qualifying uses are Level 11 permitted uses, and § 3-913 states that "[c]onditions which are imposed by [the Board] pursuant to a. . . Level Two approval shall ensure that" the listed criteria are met. Therefore, § 3-913 imposes requirements on the Board only; furthermore, these requirements do not come into play until the Board has approved an application but desires to place conditions on its approval. In deciding whether to approve the application in the first instance, however, the Board must limit its review to the criteria of § 2-903. 8 6'd T20*129SGZG Rauuolgd R4TO egb:TT SO To uer • • Finally, the Court notes that the Board made no specific findings of fact in its Order. However, special exceptions may require that the Board enter specific findings of fact upon which its action is taken. See Redner v. City Council, 10 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 84a (Fla. 13`h Cir. Ct. Dec. 5, 2002) (stating that "due process and equal protection requires [sic] every final order entered by an administrative agency in the exercise of quasi-judicial functions to contain specific findings of fact upon which its ultimate action is taken"); see also Vichich v. DHSMV, 799 So. 2d 1069, 1074 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001) (finding that, in the quasi-judicial context, certiorari review works best when the lower tribunal creates and maintains. case-specific evidentiary records). For both ease of review and due process concerns, the Court recommends that any subsequent orders of the Board make specific findings of fact. Therefore, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petition for Writ of Certiorari is hereby GRANTED. The Final Order dated December 2, 2003, is quashed and this cause is remanded for action consistent with this Order.

STATE OF FLORIDA DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS THE CEPCOT CORPORATION AND CLEARWATER TRAIN STATION, INC., Petitioners, VS. Case No. 03-2585 CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT, Respondent. FINAL ORDER Robert E. Meale, Administrative Law Judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings, conducted the appeal hearing in Clearwater, Florida, on October 9, 2003. APPEARANCES For Petitioner: Darryl R. Richards Johnson, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel & Burns, P.A. 911 Chestnut Street Clearwater, Florida 33756 For Respondent: Leslie K. Dougall-Sides City of Clearwater Post Office Box 4748 Clearwater, Florida 33758-4748 STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE The issue on appeal is whether, pursuant to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 4-505, to sustain or reverse, with or without conditions, the decision of the Community Development Board on June 20, 2003, denying Cepcot Corporation's application to build a convenience store with two islands for pumping gas. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT On May 20, 2003, Petitioner filed an application with Respondent for approval of a development. Respondent's Development Review Committee examined the application, and Respondent's Community Development Board published notice that it would consider the application at its meeting of June 17, 2003. At the meeting, the Community Development Board denied the application and issued its Development Order to this effect on June 20, 2003. On June 25, 2003, Petitioners timely filed a Notice of Appeal of the determination of the Community Development Board. Respondent transmitted the appeal to the Division of Administrative Hearings, which conducted the hearing pursuant to City of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-505. At the hearing, the parties did not present witnesses. Instead, they presented Joint Exhibits 1-5 and Petitioner Exhibits 1-2, all of which were admitted. The court reporter filed the transcript on October 29, 2003. The parties filed their Proposed Final Orders on the same date. 2 FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Petitioner The Cepcot Corporation (Cepcot) owns real property located at 657 Court Street in the downtown zoning district of the City of Clearwater (Property). On December 17, 2002, Cepcot filed a Flexible Development Application for a comprehensive infill redevelopment project (Application) on the Property. 2. At the time of the proposal, the Property, which comprises 0.95 acres, was developed with a restaurant in a building that was the former Clearwater train station, a thrift store, and a park. The Application proposes the demolition of these improvements and their replacement with a 3200 square-foot convenience store and two gas pump islands. 3. The Property fronts Chestnut Street to the south, East Avenue to the east, and Court Street to the north. The surrounding area is developed with office uses to the west and south, a privately owned utility plant to the north, and warehouse uses to the east. Upon the completion of the Memorial Causeway bridge, which is presently under construction, traffic to the beach will use Court Street and traffic from the beach will use Chestnut Street. 4. In response to questions and suggestions from Respondent's staff, Cepcot revised the proposed site plan several times. The Application is presently complete. 3 Respondent's Planning Department prepared a Staff Report, which finds that the proposed project does not meet certain requirements and recommends denial of the Application on several grounds. 5. On June 17, 2003, Respondent's Community Development Board (CDB) considered the Application. CDB denied the Application and issued a development order explaining the reasons for denial as follows: 1. The proposal is inconsistent with the adopted Community Development Code, the Comprehensive Plan, 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan, and the Downtown Design Guidelines. 2. The proposed automobile service station is not a permitted use within the downtown district. 3. Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to downtown redevelopment. 4. The proposal does not comply with the Flexible Development criteria as a comprehensive infill redevelopment project per Section 2-803. 5. The proposal is not in compliance with the other standards in the Code including the general applicability criteria for Section 3-913. 6. Most of the reasons cited for denial involve Respondent's Community Development Code (CDC), which is the land development regulations. The Property is in the Downtown District. CDC Section 2-901 states: "The intent and purpose of 4 1 0 0 the Downtown District is to establish a mixed use downtown where citizens can work, live, and shop in a place which is the economic, governmental, entertainment and cultural focal point of a liveable city." 7. CDC Section 2-902 sets forth the permitted uses within the Downtown District, and CDC Chart 2-100 lists permitted uses by zoning district. The proposed uses are not among the permitted uses for the Downtown District (or the Tourist District, to which portions of the record refer). CDC Section 2-903.C sets forth the following ten criteria to be applied in determining if the proposed use qualifies as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project (CIRP) that may qualify an otherwise non-permitted use: 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards; 2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting properties; 3. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater; 4. The uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment project are compatible with adjacent land uses; 5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment 5 project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater; 6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as an comprehensive infill redevelopment project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; 7. The design of the proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment 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; 8. 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; 9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development; 10. The design of all buildings complies fr with the Downtown District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3. 8. CDC Section 3-913.A sets forth the General Applicability criteria. CDC Section 3-913.A.1 states: "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." CDC Section 3-913.A.5 states: The proposed development is consistent with the 6 community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development." CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 9. The Division of Administrative Hearings has jurisdiction over the subject matter. Section 120.569, Fla Stat. (2003), and CDC Sections 4-501 and 4-505. 10. CDC Section 4-505.B provides that the hearing officer conducting this appeal shall receive "the record before [CDB]" and "oral argument." Absent a factual dispute concerning the contents of the record before CDB, the hearing officer does not receive evidence at the appeal hearing. 11. There is no material factual dispute as to the contents of the record before CDB in this case. The inclusion and consideration of Petitioners' exhibits as part of the record before CDB does not dictate a different result. 12. CDC Section 4-505.D directs the hearing officer to enter findings of fact, conclusions of law, and a determination approving, approving with conditions, or denying the Application. The appellate nature of this proceeding commands a greater level of deference to the actions of CDB than would apply if this case were de novo. The findings of fact thus consist of undisputed direct facts, largely culled from the Application, CDB's development order, and Respondent's planning documents. Based upon these findings of fact, the hearing 7 officer then reviews the ultimate findings of fact and conclusions of law of CDB. 13. CDC Section 4-505.C provides: The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of [CDB] cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of law. 14. The reference to "evidence" in CDC Section 4-505.C is to "competent, substantial evidence." See Sobeliski v. City of Clearwater and Mariani, DOM Case No. 02-3637 (January 13, 2003). Compare DeGroot v. Sheffield, 95 So. 2d 912, 916 (Fla. 1957) ("Substantial evidence has been described as such evidence as will establish a substantial basis of fact from which the fact at issue can be reasonably inferred. . . . [T]he evidence relied upon to sustain the ultimate finding should be sufficiently relevant and material that a reasonable mind would accept it as adequate to support the conclusion reached. To this extent, the 'substantial' evidence should also be 'competent.'") 15. Petitioners do not cite any procedural irregularities as grounds for their challenge in this case. Instead, they challenge CDB's substantive determinations that the proposed project was inconsistent with various planning documents. Because CDB's determination that the proposed project was inconsistent with the CDC is sustained, it is unnecessary to 8 consider the other planning documents, with which CDC found inconsistencies. 16. CDB's determination that the proposed project is inconsistent with the CDC is supported by competent, substantial evidence and does not depart from the essential requirements of law. 17. Stressing the literal wording of the first CIRP criterion, Petitioners argue that their proposed project satisfies this criterion because it would deviate only from the use standard of the CDC, not the "use, intensity and development standards" of the CDC. CDB applied this requirement in the disjunctive, so that the failure of the proposed project to satisfy the use standard meant that it failed the first CIRP criterion, absent evidence that the redevelopment of the Property is otherwise "impractical." 18. CDB's application of the first CIRP criterion is supported by competent, substantial evidence and does not depart from the essential requirements of law. Common sense suggests that the CDC's use of the conjunctive," rather than the disjunctive, was inadvertent; otherwise, the attempt to designate certain uses at certain intensities would fail, as partial compliance would satisfy the language of this regulation. Moreover, the redevelopment of the Property is not impractical without deviations from the applicable use, 9 intensity, or development standards. Permitted uses are numerous, and the Property appears suitable for any number of them. 19. The proposed project satisfies the second, third, fifth, eighth, and ninth CIRP criteria. Respondent did not contend to the contrary at the appeal hearing or in its proposed final order. Although Respondent argued at the appeal hearing that the proposed project fails to satisfy the fourth criterion, based in part on a strained reading of this criterion to apply to future rather than existing land uses, Respondent has not so argued in its proposed final order. Likewise, Respondent has abandoned its argument that the proposed project is not consistent with the sixth criterion. 20. Respondent continues to contend that the proposed project fails to satisfy the seventh and tenth CIRP criteria. The immediate vicinity of the Property is occupied by offices, warehouses, and a small utility plant. A gas station and convenience store would serve the beach-bound traffic, although it would serve as well the nontransportation functions of surrounding uses. Additionally, the proposed project, as a nonurban convenience store with a couple of gas pumps, would cover little of the Property, and CDB may lawfully determine that the proposed project would appear disharmonious with the surrounding bulkier structures. Under these circumstances, 10 CDC's determination concerning the seventh CIRP criterion is supported by competent, substantial evidence and does not depart from the essential requirements of.law. 21. However, it is unclear how the proposed project fails to satisfy the tenth CIRP criterion. In its proposed final order, Respondent did not expand upon its claim that the project fails to satisfy this criterion. The basis for this claim seems to involve off-street parking, but, if the proposed project satisfies the ninth CIRP criterion, it should also satisfy the tenth CIRP criteria, after that criterion is reduced to off- street parking concerns. Under these circumstances, CDC's determination concerning the tenth CIRP criterion is not supported by competent, substantial evidence and departs from the essential requirements of law. 22. Petitioners argue that Respondent must balance the ten CIRP criteria, so that the failure to satisfy any single criterion does not preclude qualification as a CIRP. CDC applied these ten criteria in the conjunctive, so that the failure to satisfy any single criterion precludes qualification as a CIRP. As the practical reading of the first CIRP criterion supported CDB's application of this criterion's three requirements in the disjunctive, so does the practical reading of the ten CIRP criteria support CDB's application of these requirements in the conjunctive. Failing to satisfy the first 11 and seventh CIRP criteria, the proposed project therefore does not qualify as a CIRP. 23. It is unnecessary to consider CDB's determination that the proposed project fails to satisfy the first and fifth General Applicability criteria, or Petitioners' argument that the General Applicability criteria are inapplicable. These General Applicability criteria emphasize the form and appearance of adjacent properties and are incorporated into the part of the seventh CIRP criterion covering form. ORDER It is ORDERED that the decision of the Community Development Board to deny the Application is sustained. DONE AND ORDERED this 2nd day of December, 2003, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.

The proposal is inconsistent with the adopted Community Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines; 2. The proposed automobile service station is not a permitted use within the Downtown District; 3. Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to Downtown redevelopment; 4. The proposal does not comply with the Flexible Development criteria as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project per Section 2-803; and 5. The proposal is not in compliance with other standards in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913. BRIAN J.

The minutes should be approved at tonight's Commission meeting. Assistant City Manager Garry Brumback reported Heritage Village has no interest in relocating to the park the railroad station offered by Fred Thomas. Heritage Village will be in touch with Pinellas County regarding possible use of the building as a Trail Head. The City has no nearby properties available for this structure's relocation. Tom Sehlhorst requested consideration of fees in order for him to relocate the railroad station onto his property. Mr. Brumback said that request would not be prudent and recommended Mr. Sehlhorst contact Mr. Thomas regarding this issue. The City Manager will send a letter to Mr. Thomas, declining his offer.

Dear Mr. Wedding: The Planning staff has reviewed your application for Flexible Development approval to permit an automobile service station in the Downtown District as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-903.C, at 657 Court Street. After a preliminary review of the submitted documents, staff has determined that the application is complete (Case FLD2002-12045), however, the following must be submitted or addressed: 1. Address compliance with the Downtown Design Guidelines with the new site/building design. A memorandum was previously submitted detailing how you felt the project complied (dated January 29, 2003). 2. Note: A Unity of Title will be required to be recorded prior to the issuance of building permits. 3. Note: Staff is not supportive of the use, as it is not permitted under the Downtown District or the underlying land use classification of Central Business District. The policy directive from the City Commission is not to support auto-oriented uses within the Downtown District. 4. Place the note on Sheet A3.1 that the bands and accents on structures will be two shades darker than the general wall color (buff yellow). 5. Signage, since not shown, may be required in the future to be reviewed by the Community Development Board when submitted. 6. The dumpster enclosure must be finished and painted to match the main retail building. Place notes on Sheet A1.1 for this purpose. BRIAN J.

A minor detail relates to the truck turning path from Chestnut Street on Sheet T1.1, as it assumes that the truck will be turning from the southernmost traffic lane across the other east bound traffic lanes to access the site. There will probably be sufficient area for the truck to access the site with the truck in the northernmost traffic lane of Chestnut Street. 8. Provide the amount of interior green space (minimum of 10 percent of the paved vehicular use area) as part of the site data on Sheet Al. 1. 9. Provide a narrative as to the developer's intentions of the existing train station, as to whether it will be completely destroyed, relocated or why it could not be incorporated into the site design. The Development Review Committee (DRC) will review the application for sufficiency on May 15, 2003, in the Planning Department conference room - Room 216 - on the second floor of the Municipal Services Building, 100 South Myrtle Avenue in Clearwater. Please call Sherrie Nicodemus at 562-4582 one week prior to the DRC meeting to obtain the time of the day on May 15th for the sufficiency review by the DRC. Responses to the above comments may be helpful at the DRC meeting, however, additional comments and requirements may result from that meeting. You or your client must be present to answer any questions that the committee may have regarding your application. Please be aware that 15 additional sets of the complete resubmittal of all required information, to include copies of the application, survey, site plan (with any required changes as applicable), affidavit of authorization, etc. will be required by noon on May 20, 2003, in order to be placed on the June 17, 2003, Community Development Board (CDB) agenda.

Dear Mr. Wedding: The Planning staff has reviewed your application for Flexible Development approval to permit an automobile service station in the Downtown District as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-903.C, at 657 Court Street. After a preliminary review of the submitted documents, staff has determined that the application is complete (Case FLD2002-12045), however, the following must be submitted or addressed: 1. Dimension the width of the landscape buffer areas along Chestnut Street, East Avenue and Court Street. 2. Provide an explanation why the terminal landscape islands adjacent to parking spaces do not extend to the full length of the parking spaces. 3. Site Data is provided on Sheets A1.1 and C1.1, but the data is different on each sheet. Delete the incorrect Site Data from either Sheet ALL or C1.1 so there is only one place where Site Data is provided. 4. The proposed site design does not provide adequate vehicular traffic circulation abilities for two-way flow when vehicles are fueling from the end pumps and/or when delivery and tanker trucks are on-site. Traffic circulation is and will be confusing to motorists when vehicles are parked in particular locations. Need to discuss traffic flow. 5. Note: A Unity of Title will be required to be recorded prior to the issuance of building permits. 6. Note: Staff is not supportive of the use, as it is not permitted under the Downtown District or the underlying land use classification of Central Business District. The BRIAN J.

After a preliminary review of the submitted documents, staff has determined that the application is complete (Case FLD2002-12045), however, the following must be submitted: 1. Provide the proposed hours of operation of the convenience store. 2. Revise the direction of the utility substation under construction under General Applicability Criteria #5. 3. Provide the anticipated value of the property after construction under Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project Criteria #2. 4.

Ensure freestanding signage is not located within any sight triangles, which also occur on the site at street intersections, and work together with proposed landscaping. 5. Revise the existing gross floor area and building coverage on Sheet A1.1, including both buildings. 6. Revise the proposed building coverage to match the gross floor area of 3,200 square feet on Sheet A1.1. The gas canopies are structures, but not buildings. 7.

Box 4748 Clearwater, FL 3375804748 Re: Application for an Automobile Service Station 657 Court Street Dear Mr. Wells: This cover letter is in part a response to your letter to Randy Wedding, dated November 22, 2002. With this letter is an application for the service station and convenience store at the above address which is in the form of a "Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project" under your Flexible Development process. With the application you will find a check in the sum of $1205.00 payable to the City of Clearwater along with 12 folded copies of the relative drawings and plans in connection with the application. We will pick up with the numbered paragraphs in your November 22"d letter starting with number 2. 2. Our written justification of the infill project has been submitted and completed as part of the application. 3. The required visibility triangles are shown as you wished on Sheet A-1.1 of the attached plans. 4. The original survey is filed with this application. A new survey will be delivered to you (12 copies) appropriately sealed, prior to the December 26th deadline. The reason for the delay in sending a new survey with the application is purely and simply a result of suveryors' back-log of work making it impossible to deliver at this time. 5. A tree survey will be included on the new survey to come (see number 4 above.) When possible existing trees have been retained. See our Sheet L-1.1.

The Corr Wedding ect floor area ratio is shown on Sheet A-1 A. 7. The height of the proposed structure is also shown on Sheet A-1.1. Dumpster enclosure details and handicapped parking space details are shown on the attached drawings. 9. Interior green space requirements exceed 2.0% of the vehicular use area.. All of that is shown on the attached drawing. 10. Impervious surface ratio will be reduced by the construction of the Proposed facility., Exemption from Southwest Florida Water. Management District will be sought. Water quality issues, if any, will be handled by an underground filtration system. 11. The walkway to the east of the site consists of a portion of the Pinellas Trail presently in place. The entire width of the right-of-way between the property and the curb will remain in place as is. 12. 'Interior green space will be, a function of traffic patterns within the site. They will average more than eight feet in width: See Sheet L-1.1. 13.' The angle-of the proposed angled parking spaces is 45 degrees. 14. Title search does not confirm that the right-of-way along Chestnut Street has been dedicated. 15. All shade trees will meet the requirements of this-paragraph. See Sheet 16. All signs will be internal to the site. If any additional signs need to be permitted they will be applied for as necessary. 17. Discussion with the City of Clearwater's traffic.engineer has revealed that no traffic studies are required in this instance. 18. A unity of title document in recordable form will be furnished covering the parcels involved. 19. Building elevations are shown on Sheet A-3.1. We believe that the' application and the supporting drawings together with this letter meet all of the questions raised in your November 22nd letter.

After a preliminary review of the submitted documents, staff has determined that the application is incomplete. The following information/data must be provided to be deemed complete: 1. The property is zoned Downtown District. The proposed use is defined by the Community Development Code (Code) as an "automobile service station." Such use is not provided for in the Downtown District as a Flexible Standard Development or Flexible Development use. Given this circumstance, application for such use must be made as a "Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project" Flexible Development process. This application is a public hearing item before the Community Development Board. A totally different application must be filled out and the fee is $1205.00. Please note that the Planning Staff will not support this application. 2. Full written justification of the General Applicability and Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project Criteria must be submitted as part of the application. 3. Required visibility triangles are 20' x 20' measured from the property line. 4. Provide one original signed and sealed survey. 5. Provide a tree survey of the subject property and within 25 feet of the site, including the species, size and location. Healthy trees should be incorporated into the site design. 6. The proposed floor area ratio is incorrect. Revise. 7. Provide the height of the proposed structures. 8. Provide dumpster enclosure details and handicap parking space details. Note: Handicap ramping cannot encroach into the required five-foot wide walk aisle. 9. Interior green space requirements are 10 percent of the vehicular use area. Revise/provide. T November 22, 2002 Wedding - Page Two 10. Provide on-site stormwater management facilities and calculations. Payment in lieu should be discussed with the City's Stormwater Engineering prior to application submission. 11. A new five feet wide sidewalk along East Avenue is proposed. There is an existing power pole on the southern portion of this sidewalk where the pole conflicts with the sidewalk. Is anything being done to relocate the pole? 12. Interior green space islands must be a minimum of eight feet in width (back of curb to back of curb). 13. Provide the angle of the proposed angled parking spaces. 14. Unclear as to whether the 10 feet of additional right-of-way along Chestnut Street has been already dedicated or is proposed to be dedicated. Advise. 15. Shade trees must be at least 2.5 inches caliper and 10 feet in height at time of planting. Accent trees must be at least 2 inches caliper and eight feet in height at time of planting. 16. Show location of proposed freestanding sign(s) and the proposed five-foot setback from property lines. The Code only permits a monument sign a maximum of four feet in height. 17. May need a traffic study. Please contact the City's Traffic Engineering Department. 18. Will need to record a Unity of Title for the parcels involved. 19. Building elevations of all four sides must be submitted, including height, dimensions, colors and materials. Since this application is incomplete and that a different application and fee is required to be filed, we request that you pick up the existing submittal. Should you decide to submit the proper application and submittal requirements, we will review the resubmission for completeness at that time prior to entering into the Department's filing system and scheduling for the Development Review Committee and Community Development Board.

We were in the process at the time of rewriting the Downtown Plan to specify no gas stations, but that was not finalized. The DT Plan now prohibits auto-related uses. There was a DOM appeal followed by a Circuit Court appeal. The Circuit Court overturned the CDB decision. Gwen, please pull the Order Granting Petition dated 1/19/05 in the Circuit Court case CEPCOT v. City/CDB, Case No. 03-0050-AP. The Circuit Court Clerk has it as well as our files.

I believe that the CDB then entered a revised Order/Development Order approving the site plan application. This was before we had the procedure of a separate letter being issued by Planning as the Development Order. Gina, are you able to pull the CDB revised Order? If the site plan has materially changed from the previous one, we will have to discuss how to treat it. Leslie K. Dougall-Sides Assistant City Attorney City of Clearwater P.O.

Just wanting to avoid "egg" on our face on this one. -----Original Message----- From: Dougall-Sides, Leslie Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 11:11 AM To: Garriott, Kevin Cc: Hollander, Gwen Subject: RE: 657 Court Street I believe this is the CEPCOT/Train Station property. The CDB denied site plan approval because of the gas station aspect, which did not meet the comp infill guidelines. We were in the process at the time of rewriting the Downtown Plan to specify no gas stations, but that was not finalized. The DT Plan now prohibits auto-related uses. There was a DOAH appeal followed by a Circuit Court appeal. The Circuit Court overturned the CDB decision. Gwen, please pull the Order Granting Petition dated 1/19/05 in the Circuit Court case CEPCOT v. City/CDB, Case No. 03-0050-AP. The Circuit Court Clerk has it as well as our files. We can look at the exact language to evaluate the current application. -----Original Message----- From: Garriott, Kevin Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 10:52 AM To: Dougall-Sides, Leslie Subject: 657 Court Street We have received application for a 7-11 store at this address. I am told their site plan approval was turned down by CDB. The application we have now is under a court order settlement as a result of that appeal to the CDB decision. Do you know the history of this site? Is this application under any restrictions/considerations of the courts? 0 • If yes, can I get a copy of that settlement to share with involved with staff so that there are no claims that we are unaware of.

CITY OF CLEARWATER, Respondent. CASE NO.03-005083 AP-888 LOWER TRIBUNAL: Community Development Board, City of Clearwater RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE COMES NOW Respondent, CITY OF CLEARWATER, by and through its undersigned counsel, and files this Response to the Order to Show Cause issued by the Court on January 15, 2004, and says: The Complaint [Petition] for Writ of Certiorari filed by Petitioners, CEPCOT Corporation and Clearwater Transportation, Inc., should be denied. The Complaint fails to establish that the Final Order of the Administrative Law Judge is not supported by competent substantial evidence or that the ALJ failed to follow the essential requirements of law. STATEMENT OF THE CASE Petitioners filed an application for "flexible" development approval to permit a convenience store use with gas pumping function on real property 60iZ0'd 9Z:Z0 9665-8Z-Ndd i located at 657 Court Street in the Downtown zoning district of the City of Clearwater. The application proposed demolition of a building, formerly a train station, that was being used as a restaurant, and replacement with a convenience store and gas pumps. This level of use application, Level Two, must go before the City's Community Development Board [CDB]. The City's Planning staff issued an analysis recommending denial. The application was heard at the June 17, 2003 CDB meeting. As pointed out by Petitioners, the planners initially characterized the proposed use as prohibited because it does not appear as a permitted use in a table listing such. Table 2-900, certified copy attached. Following discussion and advice from legal counsel the CDB determined that the use, while not prohibited, was not permitted as of right. Thus it viewed the application as a "comprehensive infill" application which must meet listed criteria in order to be approved. After presentation by City planning staff and the applicant's representatives, the CDB, by a vote of 5-2, denied the application, Copy of draft CDB Minutes, 6/17/2003 attached. The City's Community Development Code, Section 4-505 [certified copy attached], allows appeals to the Division of Administrative Hearings, acting as the City's intermediate appellate body. The hearing provided for is not de novo, but rather consists of reception of the record and oral argument. The burden is on the applicant to show that the decision of the CDB cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of law. Final Order, % 13,; Code of Ordinances, § 4-505 [certified copy attached]. Oral argument was held on October 9, 2003, and by 2 60i20'd 9Z:Z0 9662-BZ-?Idd r Final Order dated December 2, 2003, Administrative Law Judge Meale upheld the decision of the CDB denying approval for Petitioners' project. Judge Meale upheld the CDB's findings that the application did not meet the first and seventh Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria (Section 2-903C.1. and 7., Petitioners' App. at 56], and therefore sustained the CDB's denial. Petitioners then filed the instant Complaint. STANDARD OF REVIEW Petitioners bring this action under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.630, providing for writs of common-law certiorari. The Court thus acts in an appellate capacity in determining whether to issue a writ of certiorari, and its review function is correspondingly narrow. The decision being reviewed is that of the Administrative Law Judge [Code of Ordinances Section 4-505D., certified copy attached], which upheld the CDB determination and relied in part upon the record before the CDB and in part upon additional documents not before the CDB but admitted over City objection [see Final Order, page 2.] This Court is to determine whether procedural due process is accorded, whether the essential requirements of the law have been observed, and whether the administrative findings and judgment are supported by competent substantial evidence. City of Deerfield Beach v. Valliant, 419 So. 2d 624 (Fla. 19$2). Petitioners have not alleged any procedural due process deficiencies. Therefore, if the reviewing court finds that the decision was in accordance with federal, state and local law and was supported by any competent substantial evidence, it must uphold the CDB decision though it might have reached a different result. Metropolitan Dads 3 60ib0'd 9z:z0 9662-8Z-Hdd County v. Mingo, 339 So. 2d 302 (Fla. 3`6 DCA 1978). Competent substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind would accept as adequate support for a conclusion. DeGroot v. Sheffield, 95 So. 2d 912 (Fla. 1957). In its review of an administrative decision, the circuit court may not reweigh the evidence or substitute its judgment for that of the factfinder. Education. Development Center. Inc. v._City of West Palm Beach Zonim Board of Appeals, 541 So. 2d 106 (Fla. 1989); Board of Trustees v. O itz, 518 So. 2d 358 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1987). Petitioners argue that the approval sought is in the nature of a special exception, and thus that after they submitted a colorable application the ultimate burden in the case fell upon the City to show that the application did not meet the applicable criteria. However, there is nothing in the Community Development Code indicating that comprehensive infill applications are actually special exceptions. They are characterized as "deviations" in Section 2-9030.1. [Petitioners' App. at 561 and seem to possess more of the characteristics of a conditional use than those of a special exception. Further, Section 4-505C. [certified copy attached] states that at the Administrative Law Judge level, the burden is on the applicant to show that the decision cannot be sustained by the evidence or departed from the essential requirements of law. The applicant did not meet this burden. Even if this Court construes the comprehensive infill process as a special exception, it should not interfere with the administrative body's decision to deny approval simply because there may be conflicting 4 60/S0'd LZ:20 9662-8Z-?Jdd i , 0 • .? evidence below. City of St. Petersburg y. Cardinal Industries, 493 So. 2d 535 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1986). Regarding the relief sought, Petitioners request the Court to remand to the CDB with direction to approve the application and to set any appropriate conditions on approval. However, on certiorari review it is not appropriate for the reviewing court to direct the lower tribunal's actions. Rather, any remand should be framed as simply with direction to conduct proceedings consistent with the court's opinion, See,e.g., Bridges v. Williamson, 449 So. 2d 400 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1984). ARGUMENT A. THE FINAL ORDER CORRECTLY FOUND THAT PETITIONERS DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 2-903.0.1. AND 7. FOR COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. Code of Ordinances Section 2-9030, provides that the comprehensive infili use is permitted "subject to the standards and criteria set out in this section...." Petitioners' App. at 55. Pursuant to this Section, all of the ten listed criteria must be met. Petitioners argue that this is not the case and that the criteria should somehow be "balanced" with regard to each application. Under their argument, an application could be approved if even one criterion were met. If the criteria are to be "balanced", as Petitioners suggest, why is there no formula set forth for weight of the various criteria, or even any mention of a balancing test in the Community Development Code? The construction of the CDB and the Planning Department is that all listed criteria must be met, as is evidenced by discussion of all criteria in the Staff Report [Petitioners' App. at 30- 5 60i901d LZ:ZO 9662-eE-add 431. A reviewing court should defer to the interpretation given to a statute or ordinance by the agency responsible for its administration. Las Olas Tower Co. v. City of Fort Lauderdale, 742 So. 2d 308 (Fla. 4'" DCA), review granted, 761 So. 2d 330 (Fla. 2000), review dismissed, 783 So. 2d 1056 (Fla. 2001), and cases cited therein. Only where the agency's interpretation is unreasonable or clearly erroneous, not the situation here, should it be disregarded. Id. The "plain meaning" of the provision is clearly that all listed criteria must be complied with, and the "plain meaning rule" should be followed. See Rollins v. Pizzarelli, 761 So. 2d 294 (Fla. 2000). The Administrative Law Judge upheld the CDB's finding that the first criterion was not met. This criterion requires that [t]he development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. Sec. 2-903C.1., Petitioners' App. at 56. Judge Meale correctly rejected Petitioners' argument that this criterion only applies where an applicant seeks deviations from all three provisions: use; intensity; and development standards. Final Order, ¶ 17. Few applicants would need deviations in all three dimensions. The Administrative Law Judge convincingly found that the language should be read in the disjunctive. Substantively, the finding that the redevelopment of the subject property is not impractical without the use deviation is correct and should not be overturned. Petitioners presented no evidence of impracticability such as appraisals of the property or other testimony or analysis. No alternative redevelopment scenario was shared with staff and it was unclear whether the 6 68iL0'd LZ:Za 9662-8Z-?Idu v/ applicant had considered any alternatives. Staff Report, Petitioners' App, at 36. Further, the property at the time of the application was already developed with retail sales, restaurant, and park uses. Staff Report, Petitioners' App, at 30, 31. The fact that a certain proposed redevelopment scenario may be more lucrative than others does not mean that it is impractical to leave the property as is or to redevelop with another type of use. As Judge Meale states, "[p]ermitted uses are numerous, and the Property appears suitable for any number of them," See Table 2100, Permitted Uses, "D" column, certified copy attached. The Administrative Law Judge's conclusion as to this criterion is well supported by competent substantial evidence. The other criterion not met by Petitioners is that set forth in Section 2- 9030.7., that [t]he design of the proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment 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. In stating that the criterion was not met, the Planning Department Staff Report found that the design of the project was not urban, but was rather suburban in nature and inappropriate for an urban Downtown setting. This proposal is dependent upon the automobile, dictating its design and traffic patterns. Urban Downtowns rely on foot traffic with buildings and sites designed to be pedestrian-friendly. The design does not create a form and function that will enhance and further an urban Downtown character. Staff Report, Petitioners' App. at 37. The Staff Report also cited provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and 1995 Downtown Redevelopment Plan in support 7 60i80'd LZ:ZO 966T-8Z-add 60' d -Id101 , of these conclusions. The Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan contains the following goals and objectives: Goal 2: The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and engineering practices, and urban design standards in order to protect historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted areas and encourage inf'ill development. Objective 2.3: The City shall encourage the implementation of historic overlay districts, the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of existing neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the implementation of the City's Community Development Code. Objective 2.3.3: The City of Clearwater shall continue to implement the Design Guidelines, adopted in 1995, for all development within the Downtown District. The Planning staff found that the application was inconsistent with these goals and objectives because, inter alia, it did not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. Staff Report, Petitioners' App. at 32. The City's Downtown Redevelopment Plan, adopted in 1995, contains a People Goal: to redevelop downtown Clearwater into a successful "people place" that attracts, retains, and inspires those of all ages and incomes to use and enjoy the community town center. The Planning staff found, inter alia, that the proposed redevelopment reflected an "automobile dominance" that did not further the "people focus" of that Goal. Staff Report, Petitioners' App. at 32-33. Planner Wells' statement that a revised site plan addressed certain site plan issues [Petitioners' App. at 1641 should not be taken as an endorsement of the project or a statement that the site design as a whole was acceptable, since the City Planner and planning staff continued to oppose approval on the listed grounds. Administrative Law 8 60i60'd 8Z:Z0 9662-8Z-Ndd Judge Meale in turn characterized the proposed project as "nonurban", stated that it "would cover little of the property", and found that the CDB could lawfully determine that it "would appear disharmonious with the surrounding bulkier structures." Thus, he found, the determination was supported by competent substantial evidence and did not depart from the essential requirements of law. Final Order, % 20. The fact that Petitioners' expert found in her study that some other area jurisdictions allow all types of gas stations downtown does not mean that the City of Clearwater must accept such uses. It may make and has made the legislative determination to designate them as comprehensive infill uses, only allowed if all of the subject criteria are met. Therefore, the Administrative Law judge's conclusion as to this criterion also is supported by competent substantial evidence. The opinion of local government planning staff members recommending project denial may constitute substantial competent evidence in support of a zoning board's decision to deny. Hillsborough County Bd Of County Comm'rs v. Longo, 505 So. 2d 470 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1987). Here it is apparent from the Staff Report [Petitioners' App. at 30-43] and the hearing transcript [Petitioners' App. at 143-2191 that the City Planner, Cyndi Tarapani, recommended denial on a number of bases including those eventually sustained by the Administrative Law Judge. That documentation and testimony provided a basis for sustaining the CDB decision and substantial competent evidence to support the decision. If the CDB gave greater weight to City planning staff testimony than to Petitioners' 9 6 -d T ZOfrZ9SGZG Rau,a044d R4 T O e?,S :60 b0 To ,aeW ? s expert planning witness, it does not constitute a departure from the essential requirements of law. B. THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE GENERAL APPLICABILITY STANDARDS OF SECTION 3-913 MUST BE MET FOR FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL. Petitioners argue that the General Applicability Requirements in Section 3- 913 [certified copy attached] are not applicable because they relate only to conditions that the CD13 might impose on approval, and not to approval per se. Petitioners are correct that Section 3-913 states that conditions imposed shall ensure that the criteria are met. However, the zoning district regulations themselves, including the introductory language to Section 2-903 pertaining to this application [Petitioners' App. at 55], state that the use is "subject to the standards and criteria set out in this section and other applicable provisions of Article 3." Therefore Article 2 captures the General Applicability Standards in Article 3. The Administrative Law Judge found that the applicant had not met the criteria contained in Article 2, and found it "unnecessary to consider CDB's determination that the proposed project flails to satisfy the first and fifth General Applicability criteria [in Article 31, or Petitioners' argument that [they] are inapplicable". He went on to state that the General Applicability standards "emphasize the form and appearance of adjacent properties and are incorporated into the part of [section 2-9030.7.] covering form." Final Order, If 23. This determination withstands certiorari review and should not be disturbed. 10 60iti0'd ZZ:Eo 9662-Be-ddu C. PETITIONERS' CONSTITUTIONAL TAKINGS CLAIM IS NOT COGNIZABLE IN THIS ACTION. The Court should not address the apparent allegations that Respondent City's actions constituted an unlawful taking of Petitioners' property. Certiorari review does not extend to questions not adjudicated by the lower tribunal. Dade County v. Marca, S.A., 326 So. 2d 183 (Fla. 1976), on remand, 332 So. 2d 142 (Fla. 3" DCA 1976). Here the CDB did not consider a takings claim, nor did the Administrative Law Judge. No evidence regarding this issue was before the CDB, a letter from Planning files to Planner Wells appearing at Appendix 10. merely states that an offer to "donate" the train station building to the City, without further explication. it also mentions that Petitioners may enter into negotiations with "other interested parties, such as the Clearwater Historical Society." Nothing of record appears concerning the outcome of such discussions, and they would not be relevant to the CDB's consideration of compliance with approval criteria. Nor could the Administrative Law Judge, or this Court in reviewing his Order, consider a constitutional takings claim. Key Haven Associated Enterprises, Inc. v. Board of Trustees of Internal Imp. Trust Fund, 427 So. 2d 153 (Fla. 1982)(exhaustion of administrative remedies required prior to as-applied takings claim); Myers v. Hawkins, 362 So. 2d 926 (Fla. 1978). Certiorari review of administrative action does not encompass a takings cause of action. Petitioners have not met the ripeness and finality prerequisites to bringing such a claim. See. e;., Williamson Coun Re Tonal Planning Comm'n v. Hamilton, 473 U,S. 172 (1985). Petitioners must pursue any such claim through an appropriate complaint in state or federal court. 11 60/EO'd ZE:z0 966T-8Z-adu CONCLUSION Petitioners received due process in the administrative proceedings below, the Community Development Board acted in accordance with federal, state and local law, and the CDB's decision and the Final Order of the Administrative Law Judge are supported by competent substantial evidence. Therefore, the Complaint for Writ of Certiorari should be denied. Respectfully submitted, CITY OF CLEARWATER P.O.

RESPONSE TO CITY'S ARGUMENT A. Special Exception versus Conditional Use. The City argues that §2-9030.1 seems "to possess more of the characteristics of a conditional use than those of a special exception." (City's Reply at p.4). A special 60ib0'd Z2:ZO 9662-8Z-add U2-21-U4 U4: PM FFOM-JUMRIUN, CIS-LL?"f11d • i-a04 r.u,7/ 14 r-ibc exception is "a departure from the general provisions of a zoning ordinance granted by legislative process under express provision of the enactment itself." Redner v, City of Tampa, 827 So.2d 1056, 1059 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002).1 An application for a CIRP is undoubtedly an application for a special exception, because a CIRP seeks a deviation from standards based upon specific criteria. Nonetheless, the City contends that a CIRP is more like a conditional use. The City, however, presented no factual or legal basis for that contention. Cepcot, on the other hand, presenters expert testimony, from Ethel Hammer, an expert land planner, in which she stated the following: I would like to say that there is a difference in the sense that if you are a conditional use, the test is whether you meet the standards in the Code. In many of these, you know, if you're a conditional use, in many jurisdictions you don't have to go through a public hearing. If you are a special exception, you do. So conditional use means there are specific criteria that have to be met, maybe distance requirements or minimum lot size or you have to establish certain buffers. And once you meet those standards, then you could be approved administratively, say, by the zoning administrator. Typically a special exception requires a public hearing. That's the distinction. (APP- 185). The City did not rebut Ms. Hammer's testimony, In this case, the Code required a hearing on Cepcot's CIRP Application. Under the facts and the law, Cepcot's CIRP Application was an application for a special exception. "Once a petitioner seeking a permitted special exception meets the initial burden of showing that his application met the statutory criteria for granting such exceptions, 1 A variance on the other hand is "the relief granted from the literal enforcement of a zoning ordinance permitting the use of prcperty in a manner otherwise forbidden, upon a finding that enforcement of the ordinance as written would inflict practical difficulty or unnecessary hardships on a property owner." !d. at 1059. 2 60iSo'd tiE:z0 966T-BE-WU uc-cI-u4 u4.capnl riuni-dunnoun1 0 010-440-1110 • 1-004 r.U4/14 P- fVX the party opposing the application must show by competent, substantial evidence that the proposed exception did not meet such standards." Dusseau v. Metro Dade County Board of Commissioners, 794 So.2d 1270, 1273 (Fla. 2001). Cepcot submitted an Application, statements from its architect, Randy Wedding, a statement in support of the Application by Ethel Hammer and testimony from both at the hearing on June 17, 2003. In each instance, Cepcot demonstrated its compliance with the CIRP criteria. Despite that prima facie showing, the City left the ultimate burden on Cepcot to demonstrate how redevelopment of the parcel was impractical "without the requested use deviation." (APP- 36). Once Cepcot met its initial burden, it was the City's burden then to prove that there were permitted uses which allowed a practical redevelopment of the property. "Practical" means usable, workable, useful and sensible. See Webster's New World College Dictionary, 3d Edition. The City did not demonstrate that any of the permitted uses were practical as defined. The property is surrounded by roads on three sides. Two of those roads, Court and Chestnut Street, will soon be two of the busiest roads in Clearwater. In fact, Ms. Hammer testified that the roads "will literally carry tens of thousands of cars everyday." (APP- 180). The City, in its staff report, at the COB hearing and in its reply to Cepcot's petition, failed to respect the rule of law which places the ultimate burden of proof on the City. The City did not comply with the essential requirements of law and its denial of Cepcot's Application should not be sustained. B. The CDB Was Regui'red to Balance the CIRP Criteria in 62-90.3(c . The City argues that Cepcot, under the Code, was required to meet all ten C1RP criteria. Section 2-003(c) of the Code does state that a CIRP application is "subject to the standards and criteria set out in this section." (APP- SS). It does not state, 3 60i90'd Z2:20 9662-8Z-Ndd uL-4 1 -u4 u4;&Opm rrum-4Unlraun r* 71S-49S-MV • I-W rAV14 h-f9[ however, that an applicant "shall" meet all criteria set out in the section. It does not state that an application cannot be approved unless an applicant demonstrates compliance with every criteria set out in §2-903(c). The term "subject to" simply describes the standards and criteria to be considered by the CDB when considering a CIRP application- To be constitutional, a zoning ordinance must contain reasonable standards. It cannot be left to the whim and caprice of a regulatory body. Section 2- 903 generally describes the criteria which the CDB must consider when deciding whether to approve or deny a CIRP application. The City argues that it construes the Code to require compliance with all ten CIRP criteria and that this Court must defer to that interpretation. There is absolutely no proof of that construction in the record, in its response, the City argues that the construction is "evidenced by discussion of all criteria in the staff report." (City's Response at p. 5). The staff's discussion of each criteria does not prove any particular construction. Under a balancing approach, the staff would discuss each of the criteria to inform the CDB about each criteria when considering whether to approve or deny an application. The City's after-the-fact "construction" makes no sense in light of the express terms of §2-903. For instance, CIRP criterion 9 provides the following: Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. Under the City's interpretation, a CAP applicant would be required to prove that there was adequate off-street parking for the proposed redevelopment, without exception. CIRP criterion 8, however, says the following: 4 60/L0'd ZE:ZO 966T-8Z-Ndu U4-1r-u4 U4:cnpm rrom-JUMMUn,? tl1$-M-fIIU is 1-tiba !',Uti/J4 F-f8Z Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street oarking are justified by the benefits to the community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development and in the City of Clearwater as a whole. (APP- 56). (Emphasis added), The City's interpretation would deprive the COS of the very flexibility that CIRP criterion 8 gives to it. The CDB could not allow flexibility for off-street parking because an applicant would always, under the City's interpretation, have to demonstrate adequate off-street parking under the shared parking formula. in essence, the City wants this Court to ignore portions of the very statute drafted by the City. That is an absurd and unreasonable result. In support of its interpretation, the city cites Las 01as Tower Co. v. City of Fort Lauderdale, 749 SO-2d 306 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999), for the proposition that this Court should defer to its interpretation. In Las Olas, however, the court rejected an interpretation which rendered portions of the ordinance "manifestly incongruous." *1d. at 313. The City's interpretation renders CIRP criterion 8 manifestly incongruous with CIRP criterion 9.. "Subject to," moreover, is not a defined term in the Code. Clearly, "subject to" can be construed to mean something other than mandatory criteria. That is how Cepcot understood the criteria.z Zoning ordinances are in derogation of private property rights and must be construed in favor of a land owner. Hoffman v_ Brsvard, 390 So.2d 445, 446 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980). Since there is a reasonable, and frankly more logical interpretation than that offered by the City, which favors the landowner, that is the interpretation which this Court should adopt. The City failed to follow the requirements ` in its application, Cepcot specifically noted that it was only seeking a deviation concerning use and that the project was below the City's intensity standards. (APP- 2). 5 60i80'd ZE:Z0 9662-8Z-Ndd 60' d -ld101 • L? of law by requiring Cepcot to show compliance with all CIRP criteria. The more reasonable interpretation which favors the property owner requires the CDB to consider and balance the CIRP criteria. C. Cepcot Was Standards, 1 When arguing that §2-903 did not permit balancing of the CIRP criteria, the City argued that "the plain meaning rule should be followed." (City's Response at, p.6). Yet, when considering the first CIRP criterion, the City quickly throws the plain meaning rule out the window. In pertinent part, that criterion provides "redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards." A plain reading of that criterion only requires a demonstration of impracticality when an applicant is seeking deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. Despite the plain meaning of the first CIRP criterion, the City argues that Administrative Law Judge Meale correctly "found that the language should be read in the disjunctive" despite the use of the conjunctive "and." (City's Response, p. 6). The City wants to pick and chose the use of the plain meaning rule to support its argument of the moment. This Court should not permit such a fickle statutory construction. The language of the first CIRP criterion is clear. Cepcot was not asking for deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. In its Application, Cepcot stated "no variances other than the use itself are being requested in connection with this Application. The project's low F.A.R. is well below the intensity standard set forth in the Clearwater City Codes." (APP- 2). Since Cepcot was not asking for deviations from use, intensity and development standards, it was not required to show 6 60/601d ££:z0 966Z-8Z-NdU 02-ZT-04 04:29PM i:rom-JOHNSON POP 913-223-7116 0 7-654 P.09/14 F-T9Z that the redevelopment of the property was impractical without such wholesale deviations. The City, moreover, failed to prove that the permitted uses were practical in light of the unusual location of Cepcot's property. UPC oE's A IicaEion Com lied with CIRP Criterion 7. The City argues that the other criterion not met by Cepcot is CIRP Criterion 7 which reads as follows: The design of the proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment 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. In its Application, Cepcot stated that "care has been taken to use a style of architecture with strong reference to traditional historical character of downtown Clearwater. That design effort creates a form and ambiance that enhances the community character of the site." (APP- 3). Further, Randy Wedding, Cepcot's architect, stated that the design "will yield a unique facility which will not only blend happily with the neighborhood but will establish a significant aesthetic benchmark in the future retro-fit of the mostly industrial buildings which surround it." (APP- 3). In her submission to the CDB, Ms. Hammer also stated "Throughout the design process, care has been taken to use a style of architecture with strong references to the traditional historic character of downtown Clearwater. This design effort creates a form and function that augments the community character of the neighborhood in which this project is situated." (APP- 60). Cepcot established a prima facie case of compliance with CIRP Criterion 7. Despite that, the City did not present any competent or substantial evidence to demonstrate that Cepcot failed to comply with CIRP Criterion 7. 7 Z'd TZO?Z9SLZG Rau J 0 1'4 d R'4 i3 ebS:60 *, 0 10 jeW APR-28-1996 02:45 • . P.02i07 As a special exception application, the City had the burden to demonstrate non- compliance. (1) Historic v. Non-Historic. In support of its argument th?t Cepcot did not comply with CIRP Criterion 7, the City argued that the Application was inconsistent with the goals of the City's comprehensive plan because the Application did not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. (City's Reply at 8). What the City failed to discuss is the reason why the staff concluded that Cepcot's Application was inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. The staff reached that conclusion, because "The proposal is inconsistent with these goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan because it does not protect or maintain the existing historical property (discussed later) and does not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines." (APP- 32). The staff also concluded that the Application did not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines because it proposed to demolish what the City described as an "historic train depot." The City's argument fails for several reasons. First, Judge Meale did not rely on the city's "historic structure" argument when determining that Cepcot had not complied with CIRP Criterion 7. Instead, he speculated that the CDB could have concluded that the proposed development was not compatible with the surrounding "bulkier" structures. Second, Cepcot offered the train depot to the City of Clearwater. The City ignored the request. Judge Meale recognized that offer was sufficient to address any concern about protecting historic resources. He said the offer was "probably enough for me not to want to pursue the historic resource argument considerably longer." (APP- 310-311). 8 APR-28-1996 02:45 • P.03i07 Third, the train depot was not an historic property. The City's Code defines historic property as follows; Any prehistoric or historic site, building, structure or other real or personal property of historic, architectural or archeological value, and designated as such by the City Commission- §8-102, Code. As the City has and will admit, it never had the train depot designated as an historic property. The City, moreover, stipulated that Cepcot could pull a demolition permit and destroy the train depot, (APP- 310). Destruction of the train depot, therefore, was consistent with the comprehensive plan, since the train depot was not an historic property, (2) Urban-v. Suburban, The City next argues that the proposed redevelopment was inconsistent with the Downtown Redevelopment Plan's goal of creating a "people place." (City's Response at p. 8). The City seems to equate "people place" with a place that has no cars. In today's world, that interpretation is absurd. The absurdity of the City's interpretation is further pronounced by the location of Cepcot's property. The property is bounded on three sides by roads, one of which is adjacent to an active railroad line. Two of those roads will soon be the busiest roads in Clearwater. Cepcot's property will never be a pedestrian destination. Pedestrians will have to cross the busiest roads in Clearwater or an active railroad line to get to the property. On this point, Ms. Hammer testified as follows: This property is really on the edge of the Core so it's really not in the heart of the pedestrian area of downtown. s In fact, Cepcot has destroyed the train depot under a demolition permit issued by the City. 9 'APR-28-1996 02:45 • 0 P.04i07 It's really not pedestrian accessible for the most part to most of the government offices, to most of the retail establishments. So this is really more of a fringe type of area to the heart of downtown. As a matter of fact, the most recent construction activity in this area has already been mentioned and that's the new Church of Scientology utility plant, which again is not a use that's going to draw pedestrians to this particular comer of the downtown. (APP- 174). The absurdity of the City's interpretation as applied to this property is further demonstrated by the City's planning director, Cindy Tarapani. She testified as follows: MR. MAZUR: And if this did not have the ability to sell gasoline, would that change your opinion, or? MS. TARAPANI: 'Well, the retail, the convenience goods retail is allowed, that is certainly an allowable use in dom110VVI'I, 111611 thou, yuu kssuw, we wuuld - Lhe use Issue would then be muted if the gas station were taken away....' (APP- 203). Is a convenience store any less a "suburban" use than a convenience store with a few gas pumps? Clearly, the answer is no. Cepcot presented a study of downtowns which demonstrated that convenience stores with gas pumps were typically permitted in surrounding downtowns. (APP- 81- 142). Cepcot offered that study and the testimony of Ethel Hammer to demonstrate that convenience stores with gas pumps were urban uses. Cepcot established a prima facie case that its proposed redevelopment was an urban use. The City did not submit any study or evidence in opposition to the study performed by Ms. Hammer. Rather, the City simply assumed that a convenience store with gas pumps is a suburban use. The City's staff presented no evidence, much less any substantial or competent evidence, to support that assumption. 10 APR-28-1996 02:45 • P.05i07 The City in its response now argues that assumptions by City staff in support of a denial recommendation are substantial, competent evidence to support a denial .4 The City did not offer any studies or analysis to support the assumption that a convenience store with gas pumps is a suburban use. The City's bare assumption, particularly in light of Cepcot's study, is not substantial, competent evidence to support the denial. See City Commission of the City of Miami v. Woodlawn Park Cemetery Company, 553 So.2d 1227 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). In Woodlawn Park, the court rejected the argument that testimony concerning increased traffic problems by residents was substantial, competent evidence to rebut the traffic study submitted by the property owners seeking a rezoning. There, the property owners sought a rezoning from residential to commercial. The court recognized that virtually all of the surrounding property was commercial. Under those circumstances, the court determined it was unreasonable to refuse the commercial rezoning since the "character' of the neighborhood had changed. In this case, the character of the neighborhood surrounding Cepcot's property is decidedly not pedestrian or a "people place." The property around Cepcot's property is industrial and office space. Cepcot's property will soon be surrounded by the busiest roads in Clearwater. To suggest that the immediate vicinity is a "people place" or pedestrian ignores the uses surrounding Cepcot's property. To turn a blind eye to the surrounding uses, departs from essential requirements of the law. See Woodlawn Park Cemetery, supra. 4 under the City's interpretation, an applicant could never challenge a denial supported by staff, because the staff's position would always constitute substantial, competent evidence. 11 APR-28-1996 02:46 • P.06i07 E. The Standards of Section 3-913 Qre Not a ?aSis on which to Den a CIRP Appliication. The City argues that the general criteria of §3-913 are applicable because applications under §2-903 are "subject to the standards and criteria set out in this section and other applicable provisions of Article 3." (City's Response, p. 10). The City's argument begs the question about which provisions of Article 3 are applicable. Section 3.913, in pertinent part, says "conditions which are imposed by the Community Development Coordinator and the Community Development Board pursuant to a Level 1 or a Level 2 approval shall insure" and then lists specific items. Section 2-913 applies only to conditions imposed for a Level 1 or Level 2 approval. In this case, the COB did not approve Cepcot's Application. Section 2-913 is only applicable when the COB approves an application and imposes conditions to insure those items described in §2- 913. Here, again, the City wants to ignore the plain language of §2-913, because it does not support its argument. F. Ce Cot Is Not Makin a Takings Clam in this Action. Cepcot has not asked the Court to render a decision on a taking claim. Rather, Cepcot raised the constitutional issue to demonstrate the absurdity of the City's application of an historic designation to the train depot formerly located on Cepcot's property. The City contended that it could treat a property as an historic property without going through the designation process identified in its own, Code. In essence, the City wanted to take Cepcot's property without going through the process of having the property designated as historic and paying appropriate compensation to Cepcot. The City's use of the zoning code to stifle development of property which it considered historic arnounts to an unconstitutional taking. Statutes should be interpreted in such a 12 APR-2e-1996 02:46 manner as to uphold their constitutionality • P.0?/0? Russo v. Akers, 724 SO-2d 1151 (Fla. 1998). The City's interpretation, as applied, would be unconstitutional. CONCLUSION The denial of Cepcot's Application should be reversed. The City did not follow the essential requirements of law because it placed the ultimate burden of proof on Cepcot, The City also failed to follow the essential requirements of law concerning statutory construction, because its interpretation would lead to an unconstitutional result and would render the CIRP criteria manifestly incongruous. Finally, the City did not offer any substantial, competent evidence to support its position that Cepcot's Application did not comply with CIRP criterion 7. This Court should quash the denial of Cepcot's Application.

Now the process of getting a child to school is even scarier for some parents because of recent inci- dents at bus stops. Occurrences last month at bus stops in three counties alarmed parents. . In New Port Richey, a 15-year-old girl was raped while walking to her county bus stop. In Tampa, a man reportedly stalked a 14-year- old girl for months, trying to coax her into his car. Finally, the girl's relatives watched for the man the children said was the stalker, caught him and beat him up before turning him over to police. In Largo last week, police arrested a 39-year- Perhaps most important, children of all ages need to be taught what to watch for and how to report unusual activity around their bus stops. In both the Tampa and Largo cases, several stu- dents had been aware that a fellow bus rider was being harassed by a man. They did not under- stand the potential danger and just shrugged off the stalkers' actions as annoying. The public schools get saddled with a lot of duties that have nothing to do with reading, writing and arithmetic, yet the schools might be the best place to teach this lesson about bus stop safety. And since the Tampa and Largo incidents involved teenagers, these lessons clearly need to be taught to all grades. Caring parents also will sit down now with their children and tell them what to look out for LETTERS Civic Club will ask for land back Re: Club wants to go to court, story, Jan. 13. Please be advised that when the City of Oldsmar first pro- posed the site of the Oldsmar Civic Club building for the new library, we presented a firm bid from a building moving company of $145,000, to move the Civic Club building to another site on adjacent land. The City Council, the mayor and city manager re- fused this. Your reporters were apprised of this information and chose not to print it. It has become apparent to the Civic Club members that the city does not just want the site, but it wants to destroy the Civic Club building. Once that is accom- plished, the, next step will be to eliminate the Civic Club, as sug- contract with its eminent domain suit against the Civic Club, we will ask the court to return this property to the Civic Club: Jim Campoli, trustee Oldsmar Civic Club Students in photograph suffered an, unfair stigma Re: A fresh beat, photos and captions, Jan. 21. At first it was very refreshing to see the newspaper photos of the Kings Highway Bucket Drum- mers in the St. Petersburg Times. However, a few lines into the caption it was mentioned that most of the Bucket Drummers have had academic or behavioral problems. A few members of the group had their names and photos printed in the paper. One of them was my nephew, Marquis Floyd, an exceptional student who has won numerous academ- ic awards and has never had a behavioral problem. I feel that the mere mentioning curbside service we receive. .Every Monday morning, we can dispose of items in addition to the contents of the giant trash' barrel (which the city supplies). We have frequently taken advan- tage of that service. This year's after-Christmas pickup would be an example of "taking advan- tage." Without fail, the workers have taken it all away. Household items, moving boxes, wrapping paper, bicycles, yard clippings; appliances - we have seen an amazing assortment of trash dis- appear from our neighborhood driveways.

By AARON SHAROCKMAN Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER - A Pinellas judge has thrown out a city ruling blocking a proposed gas station on the new route to Clearwater Beach and ordered the matter be reheard. Planned for Court Street on the site of the former Clearwater Train Station Restau- rant, the small gas station would serve traffic crossing the new Memorial Causeway bridge once it opens. The developer, wealthy Pinch-a-Penny pool supply founder Fred 'Lomas, intends now to resurrect plans for the downtown convenience center over the city's objec- tions, his attorney said Monday. The decision comes after Circuit Judge David Demers tossed aside a 2003 ruling by the city's planning board. In a nine-page order issued late last month, Demers said that the board used the wrong criteria in forming its opinion. An appellate hearing officer also reached incorrect conclusions, Demers said. Ed Armstrong, who represents Thomas, said Thomas intends on returning before the planning board, "order in hand." "In this instance, the law was misapplied by the planning department," Armstrong said. "We're gratified that the judge agreed with our argument that Mr. Thomas was denied the essential requirements of law that we felt all along he was deprived of." City officials said they were disappointed by Demer's ruling. Among the concerns, Demers said, the planning staff relied on proposed, but not yet codified changes to the downtown plan as a basis for recommending denial. They also unlawfully shifted burdens to the developer, Demers said. City officials disagree and are consider- ing taking the case to the 2nd District Court of Appeal, City Attorney Pam Akin said. "The more that you have uses in down- town that cater to cars, the less likely people are going to be comfortable there," planning director Cyndi Tarapani said. "The city staff recommended denial. The (city planning board) recommended denial. A hearing offi- cer recommended denial. Three levels of review all agreed, but for some reason, the judge didn't." Tarapani said Thomas' proposal did not comport with the applicable zoning code or development plan in place in 2003. The city's planning board rejected the proposal by a 42 vote. But Demer's ruling gives Thomas new hope to build a small gas station and 3,200- square-foot convenience store meant to capi- talize on car traffic heading to Clearwater Beach. When the new Memorial Causeway bridge opens, beachgoers will be diverted along Court Street, past his station site at East Avenue S. "Plus, if the city wants to bring people downtown and all these developments they talk about building .... Where are they going to get their gas?," Thomas asked a reporter in 2003. He declined comment through his attorney for this story. . No timetable has been set for a rehear- ing. Aaron Sharockman can be reached at (727) 445-4160 or asharockman@sptimes.com. Fred Thomas is free to resurrect plans for the downtown conve- nience center over city objec- tions.

ANALYSIS: This case was continued at the March 18, 2003 Community Development Board at the request of the applicant in order to resolve site plan issues. Existing Conditions The 0.95-acre site is a triple-fronted lot with frontages on Chestnut Street to the south, East Avenue to the east and Court Street to the north. The surrounding area is developed with office- type uses to the west and south, a utility plant (under construction) for the Church of Scientology to the north and warehouse-type buildings to the east. With the construction of the new Memorial Causeway bridge, traffic patterns accessing the beach will be re-routed to Court Street (westbound) and Chestnut Street (eastbound). Railroad tracks and the Pinellas Trail are adjacent along the east side of the property, within the East Avenue right-of-way. The site is currently developed with a restaurant at the northeast corner (former train station), a retail sales (thrift) store at the northwest corner and Freedom Park (privately owned) on the south side. The restaurant/historic train station is located immediately west of the Pinellas Trail. All existing improvements will be razed as part of the redevelopment of the site. There are some large trees on the southern portion of the site worthy of preservation. Proposal The proposal includes the redevelopment of the site as an automobile service station consisting of a 3,200 square-foot retail sales/convenience store and two gas pump islands (one on the north side; one on the south side). The retail sales/convenience store is proposed to be adjacent to East Avenue/Pinellas Trail, with the building set back 15.75 feet from the east property line. The entrance to the building is on the west side adjacent to the parking area. The building is designed with sidewalk access from the Pinellas Trail, with a bike rack with benches between the building and the trail. Windows are shown on the east and west sides of the building. Limited windows are on the north and south sides. Parking is proposed on the north, west and south sides of the building. This is a suburban-style design. Vehicular access is proposed from Court and Chestnut Streets. The existing driveway access from East Avenue will be eliminated. A number of large trees, including a 35-inch oak tree, are being preserved. The proposed convenience store and gas canopies will have pitched roofs, finished with terracotta tile. The building and gas canopies will be painted buff yellow with accent banding in a darker shade and forest green window and door frames. No specific tenant is identified at this time, so only attached signage areas are shown. Both freestanding and attached signage must meet Code requirements. In the Downtown District, freestanding signs are limited to six feet in height with a monument style design. Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 2 ? 1 • The applicant proposes canopies. covering each of the two gas pump islands, one on the north side of the site off Court Street and the other on the south side off Chestnut Street. Each island will have four gas pumping stations (with access from either side). A dumpster enclosure is shown at the southeast corner of the convenience store. The drainage design under this proposal provides a small retention pond southwest of the convenience store building, as well as a vault for storage under the parking lot adjacent to Chestnut Street. Vaults within vehicular areas need to be designed with sufficient structural strength (as a bridge-type structure) for delivery and fire truck traffic. Should the request be approved by the Community Development Board, this should be a condition of approval. The site is located within the Downtown District, a designated redevelopment area. An automobile service station is not a permitted use in the Downtown District. This request is being processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project as the only method the use can berequested within the Downtown District. With the adoption of the Community Development Code in 1999, an automobile service station use was specifically not included as a permitted use in the Downtown District, rendering all existing automobile service stations in the Downtown District nonconforming uses. The Community Development Code lists all "permitted uses" within each zoning classification and the three respective development options (Standard, Flexible Standard and Flexible). Therefore, uses not listed as permitted uses are prohibited. The Community Development Board has the discretion to review this proposal against the standards within the Community Development Code and the pending Downtown Plan Update. Comprehensive Plan The City's Comprehensive Plan contains goals and objectives that are applicable to this project as found in the Future Land Use Element: 2. Goal - The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and engi- neering practices, and urban design standards in order to protect historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted areas and encourage infill development. 2.3 Objective - The City shall encourage the implementation of historic overlay dis- tricts, the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of existing neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the implementation of the City's Community Development Code. 2.3.3 Objective - The City of Clearwater shall continue to implement the De- sign Guidelines, adopted in 1995, for all development within the Downtown District. The proposal is inconsistent with these goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan because it does not protect or maintain the existing historic property (discussed later) and does not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan The proposal is inconsistent with the People Goal of this Plan which is to redevelop Downtown Clearwater into a successful "people place" that attracts, retains, and inspires those of all ages and incomes to use and enjoy the community town center. The automobile dominance of this Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 3 0 • proposal does not further the people focus of this goal. It also does not proactively utilize the historic asset as a visitor option. 2003 Downtown Plan Update The update of the Downtown Plan is scheduled for review by the CDB on July 15, 2003. The Downtown Plan serves as the underlying land use regulation for all properties within the district. All development within the district must be consistent with both the land use plan and zoning regulations. The Downtown Plan Update will serve to consolidate planning efforts and previous documents including the Redevelopment Plan. The City Commission held its first workshop on the Downtown Plan update in October 2002. At that meeting, the general concepts guiding Downtown development were discussed. Specifically, the Commission agreed that automobile-oriented uses, such as gas stations, and fast-food restaurants with drive-thru service, shall be prohibited throughout the Downtown. On January 27, 2003, the City Commission affirmed their decision to prohibit automobile-oriented uses from the Downtown Core area and the other five character districts within the Downtown Plan. The Downtown Plan Update was based on the concepts approved at that meeting. The subject site is located in the Downtown Core character district which extends generally from Drew Street to Chestnut Street and from Myrtle Avenue west to Clearwater Harbor. The vision for this district is for the continued center of government. It should be redeveloped as a family-oriented entertainment destination including marina, cultural events and attractions, festivals, restaurants, theater and shopping uses. This district allows the most intense and dense development. The Downtown Core, and all character districts, establishes prohibited uses including: detached dwellings, all types of vehicle sales and services, automobile service stations, fast food restaurants with drive-thru service, and industrial and problematic uses. The City will be funding streetscape improvements to further the gateway into Downtown and the beach. Approval of the proposed (not permitted) use may encourage other inappropriate uses. There are goals, objectives and policies in Downtown Plan geared toward the site plan. However, the central issue at hand is the use. Historical Information The City of Clearwater retained Archeological Consultants, Inc. in February 1998 to conduct a historic preservation survey of the Clearwater Central Business District and Old Clearwater Bay. The resulting document, Clearwater Historic Preservation Survey and Planning Project, identifies and documents all buildings, not previously surveyed, constructed before 1947 within the project area. The survey was conducted according to the standards and criteria set forth by the Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation, Division of Historical Resources. Properties may be nominated to the National Register in one of three categories: as a single (individual) property, as an historic district, or as a multiple resource property. The subject site includes a building that was identified as being potentially eligible for listing in the National Register. The site contains the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Depot, constructed ca. 1923. It is the only railroad depot remaining in the City of Clearwater. This building is significant for its association with the early railroad, which helped stimulate the economic development and residential settlement of Clearwater. The depot is a good example of a one-story frame Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 4 • combination station (servicing both passengers and freight) constructed in Florida in the early twentieth century. The application proposes demolishing the last existing railroad depot in the City. Downtown Design Guidelines The Downtown Design Guidelines were adopted in 1995 and serve as a guide and tool for new development and renovation and rehabilitation of existing properties. Two applicable purpose statements of the Guidelines to this request are: 1) To ensure an orderly, high quality redevelopment process. Each renovation and construction should contribute to the overall image and character of the area. The proposal does not meet this guideline, as it does not contribute to a desired urban character due to the proposed demolition of the historic depot. 2) To protect and maintain historic features. Older buildings possess character, tra- dition, workmanship and a pedestrian-scale that is not easily duplicated. The City intends to preserve the historic integrity of Downtown Clearwater. The loss of the last railroad depot in the City will forever remove this building type from our built environment and eliminate our ability to enjoy and learn about Clearwater's past through its historic sites. CODE ENFORCEMENT ANALYSIS: There are no outstanding enforcement issues associated with this site. A.

Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 6 C. FLEXIBILITY CRITERIA FOR COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT (Section 2-903.C): 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. Automobile service stations are not listed as permitted uses within the Downtown District. Uses permitted within the Downtown District include accessory dwellings, alcoholic beverage sales, attached dwellings, convention center, indoor recreation/entertainment facility, nightclubs, offices, overnight accommodations, parking garages/lots, parks and recreation facilities, places of worship, public transportation facilities, restaurants, retail sales and service uses, social and community centers and utility/infrastructure facilities. It has not been demonstrated how the redevelopment of the parcel is impractical without the requested use deviation. In fact, no alternative redevelopment scenario has been shared with staff and it is unclear whether the application has considered any alternatives. 2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. The current assessed valuation of the site is $552,200. The anticipated value of the site is expected to be in excess of $2.3 million. The increase in property value is not expected to reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. 3. The uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater. The automobile service station use is permitted in City of Clearwater within the Commercial District and the Industrial, Research and Technology District (as a Flexible Standard Development use). An automobile service station use is not permitted in the Downtown District. 4. The use or mix of uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project is compatible with adjacent land uses. Adjacent land uses are a mix of offices, warehouses and a utility plant (under construction). As redevelopment occurs in this critical gateway, it is anticipated that new uses will more likely be retail uses or consumer-oriented rather than the existing uses. The use is inconsistent with direction affirmed by the City Commission regarding the prohibition of automobile oriented uses within the Downtown of the update of the Downtown Plan. Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 7 • 5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses or mix of uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater. There may be suitable sites available for an automobile service station within the City that are not within the Downtown District. The City specifically did not provide for such use within the Downtown District, as the use is not consistent with the Downtown Plan Update. 6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. Although the application represents a financial investment for this site, the design, use and circulation aspects of an automobile service station will negatively impact the intended, long-term character of the surrounding area. The proposed use is inconsistent with the Community Development Code and will negatively impact the redevelopment of the Downtown Core. Further, the proposal is inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as it does not protect or maintain the existing historic property and does not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. 7. The design of the proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment 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. The site design for this automobile service station is suburban in nature and inappropriate for an urban Downtown setting. This proposal is dependent upon the automobile, dictating its design and traffic patterns. Urban Downtowns rely on foot traffic with buildings and sites designed to be pedestrian-friendly. The design does not create a form and function that will enhance and further an urban Downtown character. 8. 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 proposal is not requesting flexibility in regard to lot width, setback requirements (none in Downtown District), height or off-street parking. Flexibility has been requested for the type of use only, specifically an automobile service station, that is not permitted in the Downtown District and is prohibited in the pending Downtown Plan Update. The use of the site, as proposed may encourage other non-permitted uses in the redevelopment of the area. Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 8 9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The proposal is for a 3,200 square-foot retail sales building that requires 16 parking spaces (five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area). The proposal provides the required amount of parking on-site. On-street parking is not expected. The applicant has provided a loading/unloading area for tanker gas trucks on the south side of the building. A loading area is designed on the south side of the building to access service doors on the east side of the building via a sidewalk. 10. The design of all building complies with the Downtown District design guidelines in the Division 5 of Article 3. The Design Guidelines for Downtown were created, in part, to ensure an orderly high quality redevelopment process and to protect and maintain historic features. The guidelines recommend that the location of off-street parking should be to the interior side yard or rear yard of the site. No off-street parking should be in front or corner side yard of the site where parking is highly viewable from adjoining street rights-of-way. The proposal includes a suburban-style layout with parking on the north, west and south sides of the convenience store building viewable from Court Street and East Avenue. It is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines. The site is recognized, however, to have three street frontages. The utility plant to the north is being constructed with a Mediterranean revival style with a terracotta tile roof. The proposed building and canopies on this property will be a similar Mediterranean revival style, also with terracotta tile roofs. Landscaping along street frontages and interior to the site will also be provided. D. GENERAL APPLICABILITY (Section 3-913): Conditions which are imposed by the Community Development Coordinator and the Community Development Board pursuant to a Level One or a Level Two Approval shall ensure that: 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. The character of the surrounding area is primarily offices and warehouses, with a utility plant under construction to the north of this site. Most surrounding buildings are one and two-story in height and with a zero setback. The proposed building and canopies on this property will be one-story in height. The layout is not urban, even with the convenience store building located 15.75 feet from the East Avenue property line. The use of the site, as proposed, is not permitted within the Downtown District. Permitting a "prohibited" use will not enhance the community character. Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 9 s • 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 pending Downtown Plan Update controls the underlying land use and density of all area within the boundaries of the district. It was written based on specific direction from the City's elected officials. The City Commission discussed the general concepts guiding Downtown development and specific character districts at two separate meetings. Specifically, the Commission agreed that automobile-oriented uses, such as gas stations, and fast food restaurants with drive-thru facilities shall be prohibited throughout the Downtown. Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to the Downtown Plan efforts. Redevelopment of this site, however, may or may not reduce the value of abutting properties. The current assessed valuation of the site is $552,200. The anticipated value of the site is expected to be in excess of $2.3 million. 3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. There are no residential uses within close proximity of the subject property. Vehicular traffic for this proposal is anticipated to utilize driveways proposed on Chestnut and Court Streets. The Pinellas Trail is within the East Avenue right-of-way adjacent to the east side of the property. Landscaping along the street frontages will separate on-site vehicular traffic from pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the Pinellas Trail. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. Chestnut and Court Streets abut the subject property on the south and north sides, respectively. These are one-way paired streets that will become the access to and from Clearwater Beach. Traffic for the proposal will primarily utilize these roadways for access. The site plan provides the required amount of parking. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The existing character of the surrounding area is primarily offices and warehouses, with a utility plant under construction to the north of this site. Most surrounding buildings are one and two-story in height with nondescript architecture. The design of the proposed building and canopies will reflect a Mediterranean revival style. However, the use is inconsistent with the intended/proposed character of the area. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. This automobile service station will operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Deliveries will generally be made via box trucks, beverage trucks and/or semi-tractor trailer trucks daily. The dumpster will be located at the southeast corner of the proposed building and will be screened from view. Staff Report - Community Development Board - June 17, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 10 0 0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee reviewed the application and supporting materials on January 16, February 13 and May 15, 2003. Inconsistencies with the pending Downtown Plan Update are significant and'have impacts beyond the borders of the proposed amendment site. In particular, an automobile-oriented use in the heart of Downtown does nothing to further the designed pedestrian-orientation of an urban center. When evaluated against the 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, the Design Guidelines and Community Development Code, the proposal is inconsistent with the goals and recommendations. The Planning Department recommends DENIAL of the Flexible Development application to permit an automobile service station in the Downtown District (as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project) under the provisions of Section 2-903.C for the site at 657 Court Street, with the following bases: Bases for Denial: 1. The proposal is inconsistent with the adopted Community Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines; 2. The proposal is inconsistent with and prohibited within the Downtown of the pending update of the Downtown Plan; 3. The proposed automobile service station is not a permitted use within the Downtown District; 4. Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to Downtown redevelopment. 5. The proposal does not comply with the Flexible Development criteria as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project per Section 2-803; and 6. The proposal is not in compliance with other standards in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913.

Place notes on Sheet A1.1 for this purpose. f g) A minor detail relates to the truck turning path from Chestnut Street on Sheet TI. 1, as it assumes that the truck will be turning from the southernmost traffic lane across the other east bound traffic lanes to access the site. There will probably be sufficient area for the truck to access the site with the truck in the northernmost traffic lane of Chestnut Street.

Delete the incorrect Site Data from either Sheet A1.1 or CLl so there is only one place where Site Data is provided. d) The proposed site design does not provide adequate vehicular traffic circulation abilities for two-way flow when vehicles are fueling from the end pumps and/or when delivery and tanker trucks are on-site. Traffic circulation is and will be confusing to motorists when vehicles are parked in culalft locations. Need to discuss traffic flow. Staff has identified W several areas of concern regarding vehicular movement on the site; e) Note: A Unity of Title will be required to be recorded prior to the issuance of building permits. 0 Note: Staff is not supportive of the use, as it is not permitted under the Downtown District or the underlying land use classification of Central Business District. The policy directive from the City Commission is not to support auto-oriented uses within the Downtown District. g) Place a note on Sheet A3.1 that the bands and accents on structures will be darker shades of the general wall color.

Signage location indicated appears to be greater the maximum six percent permitted. Signage needs to be ei shown at this time or all reference to signage removed from elevations.

I marked up the landscape plan with suggested materials and design applicable to the current proposal; b) There's an opportunity in the landscape areas of the site to provide better landscaping - instead of just plugging in india hawthorn and oyster plants everywhere. Suggest planting a different type of mid-sized plant in front of the silverthom and a different planting in front of the silverthom (see the suggested sketch); c) There are better ways to treat the entrances to the site.

Traffic Impact Analysis MA) The subject above is a proposal to build a 3,200 sq.ft. convince store with gas pumps. This has been an ongoing project with changes/modifications to the site plan and building. During the DRC case review, the need for a TIA was discussed. It was suggested that asking for a TIA would be late in this stage of the process. The basis for asking for a TIA from the Applicant is because the proposed use generates more than the 100 vph and/or 1,000 vpd ( a threshold commonly used by other jurisdictions to do a TIA.). Based on the ITE Trip Generation rates (6th edition the proposed use generates approximately: • A Traffic Impact Analysis will be needed, if it generates 100 vph or 1000 vpd. ITE #853 Weekday (vpd): 542.60 avg. rate x 8= 4341 vpd A.M. Peak Hour (vph): 17.17 avg. rate x 8 = 137vph P.M. Peak Hour (vph): 19.22 avg. rate x 8 = 154 vph This is written just for our records and that the expected trip volumes was addressed at DRC case review. If you have questions please call me.

According to the reporter, "Clearwater is now seen on the street as being hip". In addition to the concerts, new restaurants are attracting youth. For this story she talked to Bill Horne, Tracey Bruch and Kevin Dunbar. • Jennifer Farrell asked Bill Horne about Fred Thomas's letter offering the City the building known as the Clearwater Train Station. In the letter, Mr. Thomas gives the land with the following conditions: the City must make a decision on the building within 30 days, it can not be used for use other than non-profit, the City has 90 days to remove the building from the land and there can be no rent paid for the building. • Lori Helfland (sp?) at the St. Petersburg Times is doing story about a website at the private school that the City Commission all signed a letter of support for. She was looking for a Commissioner comment. The website is www.clearwatervirtualtour.org <http://www.clearwatervirtualtour.orq>. It is a good website with a lot of Clearwater information. • Tom Sewell was contacted this morning by Beach Beacon Reporter Paige Goodman referencing the denial of a Right of Way permit for an Interconnect at Redington Beach. Tom advised Paige that we had not been officially notified of this action yet and that we would have to review and determine what our next step was in this process to secure Right of Way for this natural gas interconnect between Clearwater Gas System and Peoples Gas (TECO). Tom further asked her to contact Clearwater Gas Spokesperson Kristi Cottier next week. Paige pressed for information on the advantages of this interconnect and Tom advised her that it would allow both natural gas systems, Clearwater Gas and Peoples Gas, to have an automatic transfer of natural gas to reduce the possibilities of outages should an underground gas main be damaged thereby improving system reliability to both our customers, residential and commercial, along Gulf Boulevard. Paige had a deadline of today for her article but will possibly publish additional information later if needed.

But, Thom- as says, he'd give 20 percent of his land sale profits back to UPARC so the agency could purchase a new building. According to city documents, the unimproved land is valued at $552,200.

APPLICANT: The CEPCOT Corporation REPRESENTATIVE: Mr. Randy Wedding; Wedding, Stephenson & Ibarguen Architects, Inc. LOCATION: 657 Court Street REQUEST: Flexible Development approval to permit an automobile service station in the Downtown District as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-903.C. PLANS REVIEWED: Site plan submitted Wedding, Stephenson & Ibarguen Architects, Inc. SITE INFORMATION: PROPERTY SIZE: 0.95 acres; 41, 473 square feet DIMENSIONS OF SITE: 130 feet of frontage along Chestnut Street, 298 feet of frontage along East Avenue and 150 feet of frontage along Court Street. PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Retail sales, restaurant and park Proposed Use: Automobile service center (convenience store with gas pumps) PLAN CATEGORY: CBD, Central Business District Classification ZONING DISTRICT: D, Downtown District Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 1 • • ADJACENT LAND USES: North: Utility Plant West: Offices East: Warehouses South: Offices CHARACTER OF THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY: The surrounding area is nonresidential in character, with the area to the east more industrially developed. ANALYSTS: Existing Conditions The 0.95-acre site is a triple-fronted lot with frontages on Chestnut Street to the south, East Avenue to the east and Court Street to the north. The surrounding area is developed with office- type uses to the west and south, a utility plant (under construction) for the Church of Scientology to the north and warehouse-type buildings to the east. With the construction of the new Memorial Causeway bridge, traffic patterns accessing the beach will be re-routed to Court Street (westbound) and Chestnut Street (eastbound). Railroad tracks and the Pinellas Trail are adjacent along the east side of the property, within the East Avenue right-of-way. The site is currently developed with a restaurant at the northeast corner (old train station), a retail sales (thrift) store at the northwest corner and Freedom Park (private) on the south side. The restaurant/historic train station is located immediately west of the Pinellas Trail. All existing improvements will be razed as part of the redevelopment of the site. There are some large trees on the southern portion of the site worthy of preservation. Proposal The proposal includes the redevelopment of the site as an automobile service station consisting of a 3,200 square-foot retail sales/convenience store and two gas pump structures (one on the north side; one on the south side). The convenience store is proposed generally midway between Court and Chestnut Streets, on the west property line. The building is set back from all road frontages, with parking in front. This is a suburban-style design. Access is proposed along all three fronting streets. The required amount of parking is provided, located primarily to the east of the store. A number of large trees, including a 35-inch oak tree, are being preserved. The proposed convenience store and gas canopies will have pitched roofs, finished with terracotta tile. The building and gas canopies will be painted buff yellow with forest green window and door frames and accent banding in a darker shade. No specific tenant is identified at this time, so only attached signage areas are shown. Both freestanding and attached signage must meet Code requirements. The applicant proposes two canopies for the pumping of gas, one on the north side of the site off Court Street and the other on the south side off Chestnut Street. Each canopy will have four gas pumping stations (one on each side of a pump). Insufficient vehicular traffic area will produce on-site traffic congestion, at access points and on adjacent streets. The site plan submitted may produce "bottlenecks" at the northern canopy. Vehicles parked at pumping stations on the north side of the property may back up on-site traffic flow for cars and delivery trucks. Additionally, Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 2 • • many vehicles parked at the northern canopy could restrict a tanker truck from exiting to Court Street. Off-site problems at the northern driveway on Court Street could also be created when the northern canopy is utilized at full capacity. The proposed site design does not provide adequate vehicular traffic circulation abilities for two-way flow when vehicles are fueling from the end pumps and/or when delivery and tanker trucks are on-site. Traffic circulation is and will be confusing to motorists when vehicles are parked in particular locations. Staff has identified several areas of concern regarding vehicular movement on the site. The access entrance along East Avenue poses a concern with Traffic Operations staff because of the potential conflicts and/or safety hazards associated with vehicles from the proposed site with the recreational pedestrian and bicyclist along the Pinellas Trail and also the trains along the CSX railroad tracks. The drainage design under this proposal provides two small retention ponds south of the convenience store building, as well as a vault for storage under the parking lot in front of the building. This vault, while providing storage capacity, does not meet Code environmental requirements for stormwater treatment. It has not been properly designed (as a bridge-type structure) with sufficient grading to provide for delivery and fire truck traffic over it. The site is located within the Downtown District, a designated redevelopment area. An automobile service station is not a permitted use in the Downtown District. This request is being processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project as the only method the use can be requested within the Downtown District. With the adoption of the Community Development Code in 1999, automobile service station use was specifically not included as a permitted use in the Downtown District, rendering all existing automobile service stations in the Downtown District nonconforming uses. Land Use The City Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives that are applicable to this project are found in the Future Land Use Element as stated below: 2. Goal - The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and engi- neering practices, and urban design standards in order to protect historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted areas and encourage infill development. 2.3 Objective - The City shall encourage the implementation of historic overlay dis- tricts, the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of existing neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the implementation of the City's Community Development Code. 2.3.3 Objective - The City of Clearwater shall continue to implement the De- sign Guidelines, adopted in 1995, for all development within the Downtown District. The proposal is inconsistent with these goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan because it does not protect or maintain the existing historic property (discussed later) and does not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. The Countywide Plan Rules establish a plan category of "Central Business District" which allows cities to designate the boundaries of their urban center, prepare a specific CBD plan and Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 3 allow downtown development with mixed uses at densities and intensities greater than in other parts of the City. Since at least 1976 when the first downtown plan was created, the City of Clearwater has identified the downtown as an urban center and the City's principal activity center. Over the years, there have been many downtown plans created with the current plan adopted in 1995 entitled "Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan." The Redevelopment Plan establishes five general goals for the redevelopment of downtown. Two of the goals apply to this request. Within each goal, the Plan also establishes objectives and policies. The proposal is evaluated against each goal, as follows: 1. People Goal: To redevelop downtown Clearwater into a successful 'people place" that attracts, retains, and inspires those of all ages and incomes to use and enjoy the community town center. The objectives and policies of this goal highlight the need to encourage new residents to downtown, to encourage employment downtown through convenient transportation and parking, and to become the link among downtown, the City at large and the beach. The goal recommends that the downtown become a destination for beach residents and visitors while proactively utilizing the historic and waterfront assets as visitor options. The auto-orientation of the proposed use will detract from the pedestrian and historic preservation objectives of this goal. The proposal is inconsistent with the People Goal of the Redevelopment Plan. 2. Movement Goal: To redevelop downtown Clearwater with an efficient, high quality, multi-modal movement system with supportive and visually positive terminal and transition facilities for all modes. The objectives and policies for this goal recommend establishing East Avenue as the Pinellas Trail corridor through downtown and encourage bike movement around downtown. The proposed use is expressly for the convenience and service of automobile users. The site circulation includes a three access points, one on each of three road frontages, including a full- access curb cut on East Avenue/Pinellas Trail. The proposal does not encourage safety for bicyclists. The proposal is not consistent with the Movement Goal of the Redevelopment Plan. Downtown Plan Update The Planning Department is currently in the process of updating the Downtown Plan. The City Commission held its first workshop on the Downtown Plan update in October, 2002. At that meeting, the general concepts guiding downtown development were discussed. Specifically, the Commission agreed that automobile oriented uses, such as gas stations, convenience stores and drive-thru facilities, shall be prohibited in the Downtown Core and including the Court/Chestnut Street corridors. These uses shall also be prohibited at the major gateways to downtown (at a minimum, locations include the Highland/Gulf to Bay/Court intersection). The City Commission specifically looked at the Court/Chestnut Street corridor recognizing it as the primary access to the beach. The City will be funding streetscape improvements to further the gateway into downtown and the beach. The City Commission, on January 27, 2003, affirmed their decision to prohibit automobile oriented uses from the Downtown Core area and the other five sub-districts within the Plan. Approval of the proposed (not permitted) use may encourage other inappropriate uses. Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 4 • • Historical Information The City of Clearwater retained Archeological Consultants, Inc. in February, 1998 to conduct a historic preservation survey of the Clearwater Central. Business District and Old Clearwater Bay. The resulting document, Clearwater Historic Preservation Survey and Planning Project, identifies and documents all buildings, not previously surveyed, constructed before 1947 within the project area. The survey was conducted according to the standards and criteria set forth by the Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation, Division of Historical Resources. A property is eligible for inclusion in the National Register Of Historic Places if it meets one or more of the National Register criteria. This includes that the quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, site, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Additionally, other criterion include that the property is: associated with event that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of our history; or, associated with lives of persons significant in the past; or that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. Properties may be nominated to the National Register in one of three categories: as a single (individual) property, as an historic district, or as a multiple property. The subject site includes a building that was identified as being potentially eligible for listing in the National Register. The site contains the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Depot, constructed ca. 1923. It is the only railroad depot remaining in the City of Clearwater. This building is significant for its association with the early railroad which helped stimulate the economic development and residential settlement of Clearwater. The depot is a good example of a one-story frame combination station (servicing both passengers and freight) constructed in Florida in the early twentieth century. The application proposes demolishing the last existing railroad depot in the City. Design Guidelines The Downtown Design Guidelines were adopted in 1995 and serve as a guide and tool for new development and renovation and rehabilitation of existing properties. There are two applicable purpose statements of the Guidelines to this request: 1) To ensure an orderly, high quality redevelopment process. Each renovation and construction should contribute to the overall image and character of the area. The proposal does not meet this guideline, as it does not contribute to a desired urban character due to the proposed demolition of the historic depot. 2) To protect and maintain historic features. Older buildings possess character, tradition, workmanship and a pedestrian scale that is not easily duplicated. The City intends to preserve the historic integrity of Downtown Clearwater. The loss of the last railroad depot in the City will forever remove this building type from our built environment and eliminate our ability to enjoy and learn about Clearwater's past through its historic sites. CODE ENFORCEMENT ANALYSIS: There are no outstanding enforcement issues associated with this site. Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 5 PJ • A.

Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 6 0 C. FLEXIBILITY CRITERIA FOR COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT (Section 2-903.C): 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use, intensity and development standards. Automobile service stations are not listed as permitted uses within the Downtown District. In order to request the approval of an automobile service station for this property, the request must be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project use. It has not been demonstrated how the redevelopment of the parcel is impractical without the requested use deviation. The applicant's response is that "no variances other than the use itself are being requested with this application. The project's low FAR is well below the intensity standards set forth in the Clearwater City Codes." 2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will not reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. The current assessed valuation of the site is $552,200. The anticipated value of the site is expected to be in excess of $2.3 million. The increase in property value is not expected to reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. 3. The uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater. The automobile service station use is permitted in City of Clearwater within the Commercial District and the Industrial, Research and Technology District (as a Flexible Standard Development use). 4. The use or mix of uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project is compatible with adjacent land uses. Adjacent land uses are a mix of offices, warehouses and a utility plant (under construction). The proposed site improvements are consistent in height and architectural design with surrounding properties and within the Downtown District. The proposed use, however, is not permitted in the zoning district and is inconsistent with direction affirmed by the City Commission regarding the prohibition of automobile oriented uses within the Downtown Core of the update of the Downtown Plan. 5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses or mix of uses within the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater. There are suitable sites available for an automobile service station within the City. The City specifically did not provide for such use within the Downtown District, as the use Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 7 • • is not consistent with the downtown area. 6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project will upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. Although the application represents a financial investment for this site, the design, use and circulation aspects of an automobile service station will negatively impact the intended, long term character of the surrounding area. The proposed use is contrary to the Community Development Code and will negatively impact the redevelopment of the Downtown Core. Further, the proposal is inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan because it does not protect or maintain the existing historic property and does not meet the Downtown Design Guidelines. 7. The design of the proposed Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment 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. The site design for this automobile service station is a suburban in nature and inappropriate for an urban downtown setting. This proposal is dependent upon the automobile, dictating its design and traffic patterns. Urban downtowns rely on foot traffic with buildings and sites designed to be pedestrian friendly. The design does not create a form and function that will enhance and further an urban downtown character. The site layout will create on-site traffic congestion at access points and on adjacent streets. The stormwater design does not meet Code. 8. 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 proposal is not requesting flexibility in regard to lot width, setback requirements (none in Downtown District), height or off-street parking. Flexibility has been requested for the type of use only, specifically an automobile service station, that is not permitted in the Downtown District. It may discourage the appropriate redevelopment of the area. 9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The proposal is for a 3,200 square-foot retail sales building that requires 16 parking spaces (five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area). The proposal provides the required amount of parking on-site. On-street parking is not expected. The applicant has provided a loading/unloading area for tanker gas trucks on the south side of the building. A loading area is designed on the north side of the building to access service doors on the west side of the building via a seven-foot wide sidewalk. Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 8 • 0 10. The design of all building complies with the Downtown District design guidelines in the Division 5 of Article 3. The Design Guidelines for Downtown were created, in part, to ensure an orderly high quality redevelopment process and to protect and maintain historic features. The guidelines recommend that the location of off-street parking should be to the interior side yard or rear yard of the site. No off-street parking should be in front or corner side yard of the site where parking is highly viewable from adjoining street rights-of-way. The proposal includes a suburban-style layout with parking along the street frontages and building to the rear. It is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines. The utility plant to the north is being constructed with a Mediterranean revival style with a terracotta tile roof. The proposed building and canopies on this property will be a similar Mediterranean revival style, also with terracotta tile roofs. Landscaping along street frontages and interior to the site will also be provided. D. GENERAL APPLICABILITY (Section 3-913): Conditions which are imposed by the Community Development Coordinator and the Community Development Board pursuant to a Level One or a Level Two Approval shall ensure that: 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. The character of the surrounding area is primarily offices and warehouses, with a utility plant under construction to the north of this site. Most surrounding buildings are one- and two-story in height and with a zero setback. The proposed building and canopies on this property will be one-story in height. The layout is not urban, as the parking is located along the street with the building to the rear. It is inconsistent with other properties. 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 Planning Department is currently in the process of updating the Downtown Plan. The City Commission discussed the general concepts guiding downtown development and specific character districts at two separate meetings. Specifically, the Commission agreed that automobile oriented uses, such as gas stations, convenience stores and drive- thru facilities (including fast food restaurants), shall be prohibited in the Downtown Core, including the Court/Chestnut Street corridors. These automobile oriented uses shall also be prohibited at the major gateways to downtown (at a minimum, locations include the Highland/Gulf to Bay/Court intersection). Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to the downtown plan efforts. Redevelopment of this site, however, will not reduce the value of abutting properties. The current assessed valuation of the site is $552,200. The anticipated value of the site is expected to be in excess of $2.3 million. Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 9 0 • 3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. There are no residential uses within close proximity of the subject property. Vehicular traffic for this proposal is anticipated to utilize driveways proposed on Chestnut and Court Streets. While there is a driveway proposed on East Avenue, its use will be secondary to the other proposed driveways. The Pinellas Trail is within the East Avenue right-of-way adjacent to the east side of the property. Landscaping along the street frontages will separate on-site vehicular traffic from pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the Pinellas Trail. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. Chestnut and Court Streets abut the subject property on the south and north sides respectively. These are one-way paired streets that will become the access to and from Clearwater Beach. Traffic for the proposal will primarily utilize these roadways for access. The site plan provides the required amount of parking. The applicant proposes two canopies for the pumping of gas, one on the north side of the site off Court Street and the other on the south side off Chestnut Street. Each canopy will have four gas pumping stations (one on each side of a pump). Popular gas stations often have most pumping stations full. Insufficient vehicular traffic area will produce bottlenecks on-site or onto the streets at driveways. The site plan submitted will produce such bottlenecks at the northern canopy. Vehicles parked at these pumping stations on the north side can back up on-site traffic flow for cars and delivery trucks, as well as the trash truck. Likewise, many vehicles parked at the northern canopy can restrict the tanker gas truck from exiting to Court Street. Off-site backups at the northern driveway on Court Street can also be created by many vehicles fueling at the northern canopy. On-site traffic congestion has not been minimized. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The existing character of the surrounding area is primarily offices and warehouses, with a utility plant under construction to the north of this site. Most surrounding buildings are one- and two-story in height with nondescript architecture. While the proposed building and canopies will reflect a Mediterranean revival style, the use is inconsistent with the intended/proposed character of the area. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. This automobile service station will operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Deliveries will generally be made via box trucks, beverage trucks and/or semi-tractor trailer trucks daily. There may be conflicts with deliveries should all pump islands be in use. The dumpster will be located at the northwest corner of the proposed building and will be screened from view. Staff Report - Community Development Board - March 18, 2003 - Case FLD2002-12045 - Page 10 i • SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The application and supporting materials were reviewed by the Development Review Committee on January 16 and February 13, 2003. Inconsistencies with the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan and pending Downtown Development Plan update are significant and have impacts beyond the borders of the proposed amendment site. In particular, an automobile oriented use in the heart of downtown does nothing to further the designed pedestrian orientation of an urban center. In addition, the proposed site plan is not properly designed and conflicts with the Pinellas Trail. When evaluated against the Redevelopment Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, the Design Guidelines and Community Development Code, the proposal is inconsistent with the goals and recommendations. The Planning Department recommends DENIAL of the Flexible Development application to permit an automobile service station in the Downtown District (as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project) under the provisions of Section 2-903.C for the site at 657 Court Street, with the following bases: Bases for Denial: 1. The proposal is inconsistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, Redevelopment Plan and the Downtown Design Guidelines; 2. The proposal is inconsistent with and prohibited within the Downtown Core of the pending update of the Downtown Plan; 3. The proposed automobile service station is not a permitted use within the Downtown District; 4. Approval of the proposed use may encourage other like uses and may be detrimental to downtown redevelopment. 5. The proposal does not comply with the Flexible Development criteria as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project per Section 2-803; 6. The proposal is not in compliance with other standards in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913; and 7. The site design will create on-site and off-site traffic flow congestion at the northern canopy. Prepared by: Planning Department Staff: /,, La,? m - L,1k& Wayne .
