Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 - Case FLD2005-06058 - Page 1 • 1 • The Flexible Development approval is to allow grooming, and outdoor dog training in conjunction with a pet supply store. The request includes a six-foot tall fence to be located in front of the building approximately five feet back from the North Lincoln Avenue frontage, per Sections 2- 903.C. Proposal: The proposed "A Very Important Pet" center is primarily designed to support the needs of citizens of Clearwater that own canines (dogs). The proposed business estimates that the center will offer the owners of the 58,000 dogs located in the city limits of Clearwater a much needed range of services tailored to their pets needs. The proposal includes a mixed-use development including a 300 square foot area for retail sales of pet supplies, a 1,000 square foot doggie daycare area, a 550 square foot animal grooming area, a 400 square foot area for the baking of animal biscuits to be sold in the store, and an approximately 6,500 square foot outdoor training area. The majority of the business is retail-like operation and will primarily take place within the building. The retail sales, pet daycare, and baking facilities were approved at the August 4th, 2005 Development Review Committee meeting, under FLS2005-06045. The proposed hours of operation for the entire facility are 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m and in addition all pets will be required to be inside the building by 7:30 p.m. A six-foot tall white PVC fence will enclose the outdoor training area and landscaping is to be installed to assist in reducing any noise caused during the training sessions. The existing parking lot will be reduced in size and reconfigured to allow for the proposed 6,500 square foot outdoor training area and will create a parking area and driveways that are functionally integrated into the design of the proposed development as much as possible without the complete removal of the building. The existing 28 parking spaces will be reduced to 15 spaces; this exceeds the retail sales/service use requirement of two to four parking spaces per one thousand square feet of gross floor area. The existing eastern driveway located along Cleveland Street will be removed with this proposal and one, two-way driveway will be located from Cleveland Street to provide access to the site and building, as well as from Lincoln Avenue. This will limit the number of curb cuts to the interior of the site and still provide adequate access to the site. The site landscaping has been found to be acceptable with regards to the design layout. Specific plant materials and irrigation will be conditioned to the development order for further staff review and approval at time of building/construction permit. Solid waste services will be provided via a rollout dumpster at the east side of the site along Lincoln Avenue. The City's Traffic Engineer has found that the submitted site plan improves the traffic flow compared to the originally approved plan. Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 - Case FLD2005-06058 - Page 2 Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no outstanding enforcement issues associated with this site. Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan: The site is located within the East Gateway character district of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. This area is recognized as the area of Downtown Clearwater experiencing the most economic and geographic struggles. The Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan recommends that this area be redeveloped with a mix of residential and non-residential uses. Specifically, it recommends the redevelopment of the East Gateway as a vibrant, stable, diverse neighborhood defined by its unique cultural base and mixed land uses. It also recommends that the area continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and professional offices concentrated along the major corridors of Cleveland Street. Permitted uses in the area include a variety of nonresidential establishments such as office, retail sales and service, restaurant, governmental uses, etc. This strategy has been identified as a way to stimulate the redevelopment of property in the area and to enhance the primary entrance to the Downtown Core now that the new Memorial Causeway Bridge has opened. According to the Downtown Design Guidelines this should assist in repositioning the Downtown as a viable economic entity in the region. The City Commission adopted the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan on September 18, 2003. The final amended document was reviewed and approved by the City Commission on December 4, 2003. The Board of County Commissioners subsequently approved the Plan on December 16, 2003. The Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) approved the Plan in January 2004 followed by an approval by the Countywide Planning Authority (CPA) in February 2004. The Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan establishes criteria against which proposals to be located within the Plan boundaries are measured and are discussed further in this report. This proposal is consistent with the Plan. The proposal is consistent with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan including: 1. Goal 1: Downtown shall be a place that attracts people for living, employment and recreation. The City shall encourage redevelopment that will attract residents and visitors to Downtown as a recreation, entertainment and shopping destination. This project will provide an opportunity for employment, recreation, and shopping destination to those who are pet owners. It should attract citizens as well as tourist traveling abroad with pets. 2. Objective 1F: Cleveland Street shall be maintained as Downtown's Main Street, which is valued both for its historic character and scale of development and for its function as the major retail street. The proposed retail business will maintain the historic character, scale, and function of retail sales and service businesses located on Cleveland Street. 3. Objective 1L: The City shall recognize the unique features of Downtown neighborhoods and continue and expand applicable neighborhood services. The proposed business, A Very Important Pet, should provide a minimum amount of employment opportunity as well Staff Report - Community Development Board - September 20, 2005 - Case FLD2005-06058 - Page 3 • l as serve the daily commercial and personal service needs of the pet owners in the neighborhood. The proposal is also consistent with East Gateway character district Policies including: 1. Policy 7: Attract and assist existing retail and personal service establishments in order to create neighborhood employment opportunities. The proposed business, A Very Important Pet, should provide a minimum amount of employment opportunity. 2. Policy 9: Evaluate limited expansions of the Commercial and Downtown zoning District boundaries on Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street that may create opportunities for commercial expansions and/or redevelopment that is consistent with Community Development Code requirements. The redevelopment of this existing restaurant that has been vacant for more than two years into a daily commercial/personal service business should enhance the immediate area and influence redevelopment in the area along Cleveland Street. The proposal is in compliance with the Downtown zoning district code as well as the Downtown design guidelines. 3. Policy 12: Encourage the adaptive re-use of underutilized buildings in the event redevelopment is not feasible. The redevelopment of this existing restaurant that has been vacant for more than two years into a daily commercial/personal service business is an adaptive re-use of an underutilized building.

N s a? ;= 1 F August 11, 2005 To: The City of Clearwater Planning Development From: A Very Important Pet Center 1242 Cleveland Street Clearwater, Florida 33761 Case # FLD2005-06058 Response: 1. Hours of operation are currently set for: A. Open for drop off at front door 6:00 A.M. B. Close the evening at 9:00 P.M. May not pick up dogs after that time. C. Dogs must be inside building by 7:30 P.M. 2. How much area to be used business: A. 300 Sq. Ft. Retail area B. 550 Sq. Ft. Grooming Area C. 400 Sq. Ft. Baking Area D. 1000 Sq. Ft. Cageless dog area 3. How is this proposal characteristic of the adjacent properties: A. The landscaping will be in compliance and give a clean and well- maintained appearance. B. The building to the west is only the block side facing the AV1P. C. The Building to the East is across the street with street noise on both the west side and the south side. It is a motel that the center would have no impact. It would provide anyone staying at the motel a place for their dogs to stay when they are away from their room. D. The Building on the south side of the street has no affect it is across Cleveland Street. E. Area to the north is a vacant lot that is approximately 100 ft from the 6 ft fence in the back of AVID center. This has very little impact on this area due to the distance from the commercial area of the center with a commercial vacant lot between. I feel this has less impact on the area than a restaurant that is open much later in the evenings. Noise with trash bins in the back and cars coming and going. This area is fenced and dogs will be in by 7:30. F. This center will support the needs of the community in many ways. There are over 58,000 dogs in Clearwater. Just 10 years ago there was only about 38,000 dogs in Clearwater. It is growing and people are becoming more and more attached to their canine companions. We are short on evacuation centers according to the SPCA. This will give the local e- residents a security. I have been told it is not in a flood zone. Most of the boarding facilities in Clearwater are cages and lock up the dog until the owner comes back to pick them up. I am offering a much more friendly and healthy atmosphere. All dogs will get basic training and attention. This is exactly what the City of Clearwater needs for so many residents coming to the area that will be bringing even more canines. I have the talent and the passion to work with these dogs. My goal is to have an establishment that the city of Clearwater can count on. In cases of emergencies AVIP will pick up the dog and take it to the center so it is not unattended or left alone in times of desperation. With the 6' fence surrounding the outside area should create low impact on the area and enhance it's charm. The majority of the customers will be picking up or dropping off which again is much lower impact than a restaurant. I want to work with the City of Clearwater in every way to bring good things to the area and make us all proud. 4. This business will not hinder businesses in the area. It will be a training facility for residents and their dogs. It will be educational center that will bring more balanced family pets. I will have employment opportunities for the area. The distance of the homes with another commercial property between would not create any impact on any homes in the area. It is mostly a commercial area. 5. The estimate to develop this building and lot is about $30,000, not including the interior. 6. Guideline checklist. Community Response Team Planning Dept.
