ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 2.21 acre site is located on the south side of Drew Street between Fredrica Avenue and Betty
Lane, which is located in the East Gateway Character District of Downtown. The East Gateway is
characterized by a mixed land use pattern of residential housing interspersed with pockets of
poorly maintained rental properties and outdated strip commercial. The East Gateway struggles
with a negative image of crime due to the location of problematic uses such as day labor facilities,
old motels and social service agencies that provide services to the homeless population.
This parcel was previously an accessory parking lot of the Verizon utility/infrastructure facility to
the south. Verizon no longer needed the accessory parking lot and, through case FLD2007-11035
which was approved by the Community Development Board on March 18, 2008, permitted the
Termination of Status of Nonconformity for Floor Area Ratio and building height of the existing
Verizon building; the improvement of the existing Verizon site and parking area; and approved
non-residential off-street parking on the subject property. This approval also established setbacks
that would permit the subject property to be split from the balance of the property. While that
portion of the site was split off and recorded with the Pinellas County Clerk of Court on June 24,
2008, it was not specifically approved by the Planning and Development Department. It is
therefore attached as a condition of approval that a Release of Unity of Title and Minor Lot
Adjustment be submitted and approved by the Planning and Development Department prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
To the north of the subject property, across Drew Street, are attached dwellings (Betty Lane
Apartments) and Outdoor Recreation and Entertainment (Clearwater Country Club Golf Course).
To both the east and west are detached dwellings and to the south is a utility/infrastructure
facility (Verizon Communications).
Development Proposal:
The proposal is to construct a 33 unit townhome project, Country Club Townhomes, at a density
of 30-units/acre in the MHDR District. The townhomes will be platted fee simple (PLT2010-
06001 has been submitted) and therefore be individually owned. Both standard and premium
units are proposed with the standard units containing 1,300 square feet and the premium units
containing 1,436 square feet. Both units will contain three bedrooms and have a two car garage
for the required off-street parking. Both units are proposed to contain two floors with the two car
garage, kitchen, dining area, great room and a half bathroom located on the first floor. The
second floor of all units will contain three bedrooms and two bathrooms. While all units have a
Community Development Board -July 20, 2010
FLD2010-05001 - Page 2 of 11
two car garage for the required off-street parking and the proposal does include 12 visitor
parking spaces. Staff has expressed concern that not all owners will park both, if any, vehicles in
their garage and coupled with the fact that there is inadequate space available to park a car
between the front of the garage and the internal street, this may create insufficient parking areas.
However, garages are recognized as off-street parking spaces and the proposal is in compliance
with the parking requirement.
The dwellings are proposed to be located with the front entrances, including a patio area, near the
street to provide an urban feel. The front patio area will be approximately 80 square feet and be
enclosed by a 32 inch high stucco wall with a decorative white railing above the wall. The
townhomes are proposed at a height of 25 feet to midpoint of the roof. The main building color is
SWO042 Ruskin Room Green with SWO049 Silver Gray and SW7100 Arcade White used as
accent colors. The exterior of the two story buildings will be constructed of hardy board siding
and shake, stucco and stone veneer accents. The buildings will have silver standing seam metal
roofs. A pavilion with restrooms and areas for the pool equipment will be located adjacent to the
community pool. The pool pavilion incorporates columns, gable vents and decorative fencing in
addition to the architectural features proposed on the townhomes. The site will take secondary
access from Betty Lane for all vehicular ingress/egress.
The townhomes are proposed to have front setbacks of 20.33 feet on Betty Lane, 15 feet on
Drew Street, 15 feet on Fredrica Avenue and a side (south) setback of 1.36 feet. On the west side
of the property along Betty Lane there is a 20 foot right-of-way easement. The City will support
the vacation of the easternmost 10 feet of that easement. This will allow the patios and walls to
remain outside of that easement and only landscaping and some drainage pipe will be located in
the westernmost 10 feet of the easement. It is attached as a condition of approval that the
applicant has the easternmost 10 feet of the easement vacated prior to issuance of any permits.
Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan: In addition to the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan, the Downtown Plan is the official statement of policy regarding the Downtown and in
particular with regard to the use of land and public policies. All development of land, both public
and private, undertaken within the Downtown shall be consistent with and further the goals of
the Plan.
The site is located within the East Gateway character district of the Clearwater Downtown
Redevelopment Plan. This being the case the proposal is governed by Medium High Density
Residential District zoning with regard to intensity, density and setbacks while also having to be
consistent with the East Gateway Character District policies. This area is envisioned to be a
vibrant, stable, diverse neighborhood defined by its unique cultural base and mixed land uses. It
will 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, Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, Court Street and Missouri Avenue.
Visions, Goals, Objectives and Policies: A review of the Clearwater Downtown
Redevelopment Plan was conducted and the development proposal has been determined to be
consistent with the following Visions, Goals, Objectives and Policies:
Community Development Board - July 20, 2010
FLD2010-05001 -Page 3 of 11
Vision: Downtown will be an integrated community with a mix of retail, residential, office
and recreational opportunities. The development of a variety of residential
projects to attract new residents to Downtown is critical to the success of a
revitalized Downtown.
Vision: The elimination of blighting conditions and the revitalization of the existing and
expanded CRA are critical to the future health of Downtown.
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.
Objective 1 G: Residential uses in Downtown are encouraged with a variety of densities, housing
types and affordability consistent with the character districts.
Policy 19: Residential development shall provide appropriate on-site recreation facilities
based on the scale of the project.
East Gateway Character District Policies: The following policies governing development
within the East Gateway character district have been reviewed and have been determined to not
be applicable to the development proposal:
Policy 2: The character of each district shall be reinforced through the site plan and design
review process. Projects shall be consistent with and contribute positively to the
vision of the character district in which it is located.
Policy 11: Encourage the assembly of vacant and underutilized properties, as well as the
demolition of deteriorated buildings to accommodate redevelopment projects that
meet Clearwater Community Development Code standards.
Downtown Design Guidelines:
The Downtown Design Guidelines identify both appropriate and inappropriate direction with
regard to various elements associated with new construction and renovations in the Downtown.
A review of these Guidelines within the Plan was conducted and the following applicable items
were identified:
Block and Lot Characteristics: The Downtown Design Guidelines require the retention of the
existing street grid pattern where it contributes to an active pedestrian environment. All three
street frontages are being maintained with sidewalks to contribute to the pedestrian environment.
Access, Circulation and Parking: The Downtown Design Guidelines require vehicular access to
be taken from secondary street frontages and parking areas for townhouse developments to be
located within the interior of the development to maintain the integrity of the primary fagade.
The proposal is taking access from Betty Lane and all proposed parking is located within the
interior.
Community Development Board -July 20, 2010
FLD2010-05001 - Page 4 of 11
Pedestrian Circulation/Access: The Downtown Design Guidelines require clearly defined, safe,
direct, convenient and landscaped pedestrian pathways between streets, parking areas and
buildings. The proposal has provided four direct, landscaped pedestrian pathways between the
buildings and parking areas. Staff has suggested additional pedestrian pathways to the north of
the building at the southeast corner and to the north of the three-unit building on the west side of
the site. This has been attached that as a condition of approval.
Landscaping: The Downtown Design Guidelines require plant species that are appropriate to the
space in which they will occupy with regard to water needs, growth rates, size, etc. in order to
conserve water, reduce maintenance and promote plant health. The proposal includes some
native species with appropriate maturity size to limit maintenance and conserve water.
Fences and Walls: The Downtown Design Guidelines require fences and walls to complement
and be consistent with the principal structure with regard to material, texture, size, shape and
color. The proposed walls around the front patios are constructed with similar material and the
same color as the building.
Building Placement: The Downtown Design Guidelines require that buildings maintain the
build-to line or the setback of the developments block. This proposal occupies the entire
northern portion of the block, and is consistent with setback of the adjacent blocks.
Building Design: The Downtown Design Guidelines require low rise buildings that accentuate
vertical elements such as entrances and columns, or by breaking up the fagade into a greater
number of smaller vertical masses. The proposed townhome building facades have been
designed to appear as individual smaller masses and the proposed pool pavilion will utilize
columns.
Primary and Corner Facades: The Downtown Design Guidelines state all facades shall utilize a
change in plane, building wall projection or recess, variation in building height, storefront
display windows and canopies and awnings. The proposed townhomes utilize a building wall
projection on the second floor and incorporate a canopy at each townhome entrance.
Materials and Colors: The Downtown Design Guidelines require building constructed of high
quality, long lasting materials. The proposed buildings are utilizing durable materials such as a
stucco finish, hardie board shake and siding and stone facades in areas. Additionally, the
Downtown Design Guidelines require the color scheme of the building to reflect a cohesive
pattern and use three or less colors on the building. The proposed building colors of "Ruskin
Green", "Arcade White" and "Silver Gray" complement each other and create a cohesive pattern.
Community Development Code: An attached dwelling project is subject to the relevant review
criteria of CDC Sections 2-401.1 and 2-404.F.
Density: Pursuant to the Countywide Land Rules and CDC Section 2.401.1, the maximum
density for properties with a land use plan designation of Residential High (RH) is 30 dwelling
units per acre. Therefore, 66 dwelling units are permissible for the 2.21 acre property. The
proposal includes 33 dwelling units.
Community Development Board - July 20, 2010
FLD2010-05001 - Page 5 of 11
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR): Pursuant to CDC Section 2.401.1, the maximum allowable ISR
is 0.85. The proposed ISR is 0.77, which is consistent with Code provisions.
Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-404, the minimum lot area for
attached dwellings is 15,000 square feet. The subject site is 96,239 square feet. Pursuant to the
same Table, the minimum lot width is 150 feet. The width of the lot along Drew Street, Fredrica
Avenue and Betty Lane is 310 feet. The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions.
Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-404 for Residential Infill Redevelopment
Projects, the minimum front setback can range between 10 - 25 feet and the side setback can
range between 0 - 10 feet, but may be varied based upon the Flexibility Criteria. There is no rear
setback as this parcel has three fronts. The proposal includes a reduction to the front (north) and
front (east) setback to 15 feet (to building), and five feet (to pavement and wall), and a front (west)
setback of 20.33 feet (to building) and 10.07 (to wall) and a side (south) setback of 1.36 feet (to
pavement and wall).
All of the proposed buildings meet the above flexible development standard. Both the front
(north) setback to the pavement and walls and the front (east) setback to pavement and walls do
not meet the development standard; however that standard may be varied based on the benefits to
the community character and the immediate vicinity. Staff concurs that the reduced setbacks
benefit the community character and the immediate vicinity as the development will have an
attractive appearance and enhanced landscape design. Additionally, while not in Downtown it is
located in one of the Downtown character districts where courtyards and patios and other
pedestrian oriented design features are encouraged at the street level.
Maximum Building Height: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-404, the maximum building height for
attached dwellings can range between 30 - 50 feet. The proposed height of the buildings is 25
feet (to midpoint of roof). The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions.
Minimum Off-Street Parking: Pursuant to CDC Section 2-404, the minimum required parking
for attached dwellings is two spaces per dwelling unit. Based upon the above, the 33 dwelling
units will require 66 parking spaces and the proposal has provided for 78 spaces (2.36
spaces/unit). There will be two parking spaces in each attached garage along with 12 extra
parking spaces for guests. The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions.
Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the
driveways, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will obstruct views at a level
between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-foot sight visibility
triangles. No structures or landscaping is proposed within the site triangles.
Solid Waste: The proposal will utilize a refuse dumpster at the southeast corner of the site. The
proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste Department.
Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1908, all utility facilities, including but not limited to gas,
water, wastewater collection, electric, telephone and television cables, except major transmission
lines and transformers, shall be located underground. There exist overhead utility lines along the
east side of N. Betty Lane adjacent to this site and running north/south through the site serving
Community Development Board - July 20, 2010
FLD2010-05001 - Page 6 of 11
the residential outparcel at 22 N. Fredrica Avenue. All utility and communication lines for this
development will be installed underground on site in compliance with this requirement. All
electric panels, boxes and meters will be painted the same color as the building. Additionally,
when the overhead utility lines are placed underground it will impact one parcel located at 22 N.
Fredrica Avenue as their service is feed from the overhead lines. Therefore, it is attached as a
condition of approval that the relocation of the existing overhead utilities serving 22 N. Fredrica
Avenue be done in a manner and location acceptable to, and at no expense to, that property
owner.
Landscaping: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D.1, this site is required a 15-foot wide landscape
buffer along Drew Street, a 10-foot wide landscape buffer along both Betty Lane and Fredrica
Avenue and a south landscape buffer width of 10 feet. The proposal includes a seven foot wide
north landscape buffer along Drew Street, a seven foot wide east landscape buffer along Fredrica
Avenue, a 10 foot wide west landscape buffer along Betty Lane and a 1.36 foot wide landscape
buffer along the south property line. The proposed buffers include over 60 shade trees, 40 accent
trees, 25 palm trees, 2,200 shrubs and 1,400 ground cover species. The south buffer will include
a six foot high privacy fence for added privacy.
The landscape buffers include trees such as live oak, bald cypress, elm and silver buttonwood;
palms include medjool and christmas; and shrubs and groundcover include viburnum, duranta,
Indian hawthorne, jasmine and perennial peanut. As part of the Comprehensive Landscape
Program the applicant has proposed to plant required trees and shrubs elsewhere on site, they
have provided seven specimen medjool date palms, 21.5 percent interior landscape and larger
shade trees and shrubs than minimum Code requires to off-set the buffer reductions.
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E.2, foundation planting shall be provided for 100 percent of
the building facade along a street right-of-way. A minimum five foot wide landscaped area
composed of at least two accent trees or three palms for every 40 linear feet of building fagade
and one shrub for every 20 square feet of required landscape area is required. A minimum of 50
percent of the area shall contain shrubs with the remainder to be ground cover. The proposal
includes foundation landscaping of accent trees, flax lily, dwarf viburnum and perennial peanut
groundcover.
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E.1, ten percent of the vehicular use area must contain
landscape islands a minimum of 150 square feet in size. While some interior landscape islands
are not 150 square feet, the applicant has proposed 21.5 percent of the vehicular use area to be
landscaped with an adequate number of islands meeting the minimum 150 square foot
requirement.
Comprehensive Landscape Program: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.G, the landscaping
requirements contained within the Code can be waived or modified if the application contains a
Comprehensive Landscape Program satisfying certain criteria. The following table depicts the
consistency of the development proposal with those criteria:

COUNTRY CLUB TOWNHOMES
NARRATIVE
General Applicability Criteria
1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage,
density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
The 2.21 acre site is located in the East Gateway character district in the Clearwater CBD. The
"district vision" is for the area to be primarily redeveloped as a High Density Residential
District. The density is 14.9 units per acre, which is not out of character for Downtown, and in
harmony with the "district vision".
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 site has frontage along Drew Street (North), Fredrica Drive (East), and Betty Lane (West).
Adjacent lands are already developed The Verizon parking area and building existing the south.
The project will not hinder or discourage the appropriate use of adjacent land and may stimulate
redevelopment of underutilized properties in the East Gateway character district.
3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed residential development will provide housing opportunities in close proximity to
major employers in Downtown Clearwater.
4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
The Country Club Townhomes contains 33 Units and will generate 192 daily trips and 17 trips
during the PM peak hour per the ITE Trip Generation, 8th Edition Rates Land Use Code 230
(Townhome/Condo minimum).
5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate
vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
The community character is mixed-use and includes retail, residential, industrial and office uses.
The proposed development containing 33 Townhomes is consistent with the "district vision" for
East Gateway character district and well below the permitted density for a MHDR zoned
property with a RH land use designation.
Page 1 of 4
6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual,
acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties.
The buildings are situated with sufficient setbacks from adjoining uses to minimize visual,
acoustic and olfactory impacts. The site is surrounded by public roads on 3 sides and a parking
lot on the south side that serves a Verizon office. Parking for 66 vehicles is internal within
garages and there are 12 additional surface spaces.
Page 2 of 4
RESIDENTIAL INFILL REDEVELOPMENT
Project Criteria
1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise
impractical without deviations from the intensity and development standards.
The land development code would permit 66 dwelling units. The proposal is to construct only
dwelling 33 units, which is only 50% of the permitted units. The front setback needs to be
reduced 15 feet to achieve a reasonable yield on this site and to achieve more of a neighborhood
feel to the project.
2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will
not materially reduce the fair market value of abutting properties. (Include the existing
value of the site and proposed value of the site with the improvements.)
The site is presently an abandoned parking lot. The site is blighted and redevelopment is
essential. Upon completion, the project will be valued at $3.5 million and will be an integral part
of downtown redevelopment. The redevelopment of this site is consistent with the district vision
for the East Gateway district.
3. The uses within the residential infill project are otherwise permitted in the City of
Clearwater.
The redevelopment of the site will not impede redevelopment of surrounding property. All
surrounding property is presently developed with residential or office uses.
4. The uses of mix of use within the residential infill project are compatible with adjacent
land uses.
The redevelopment of the site is compatible with adjacent land uses. All surrounding property is
presently developed with residential or office uses.
5. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will
upgrade the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development:
It is anticipated adjoining properties will benefit from the redevelopment of this property. The
"district vision" of the East Gateway character district is for redevelopment of this area which
would increase property values.
Page 3 of 4
6. The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function that
enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
development and the City of Clearwater:
The residential project is permitted in the downtown zone as a flexible use per Section 2-402 of
the Community Development Code. This residential development will provide affordable
housing in the Downtown area. In addition, the redevelopment is consistent with the East
Gateway district vision and will aid the redevelopment of the downtown area, to provide mixed-
uses. Moderate to high density residential development is appropriate for this area, and this site
is properly zoned for this use.
7. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are
justified by the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel
proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as whole:
The East Gateway district vision permits a height of up to 50 feet and generally promotes infill
development at moderate densities and low-rise heights. The project contains permitted uses,
complies with applicable guidelines, is in harmony with the emerging character (height, uses,
etc.) and will be attractive in appearance especially as compared to the existing unkempt parking
lot. The redevelopment at this site will not impede orderly development of surrounding
properties, as they are already developed.

STORMWATER NARRATIVE
Country Club Townhomes
This project consists of one (1) parcel which totals 2.21 acres. Stormwater design will be
in compliance with the guidelines set forth from the City of Clearwater and The
Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). Stormwater runoff for the
site will be captured, treated and released at less than the pre-development rate(s) by a
diversion box and an outfall_ control structure.
The subject site stormwater quality and rate of runoff will be improved over the current
existing site drainage conditions as an existing parking lot for the Verizon building.
There is an existing pond for both the Verizon building site and the Country Club
Townhomes parcel. Since, the Country Club Townhomes parcel is being developed
separately a new pond had to be created on-site per City of Clearwater. Please see the
Drainage Calculations and Construction Documents for further demonstration of
guideline compliance.

RE: Country Club Townhomes
Dear Mr. Leach:
0"SU MIJ&
As you requested I have completed my assignment for the referenced site.
My assignment was to assess site trees according to the City of Clearwater's tree rating system
(following) and submit my opinions in a written report.
A complete listing of all subject trees is a part of this report along with an annotated survey.
CITY OF CLEARWATER TREE RATING SYSTEM
0 Dead, require removal
1 Poor (nearly dead, hazardous), require removal
2 Below Average (declining, diseased, poor structure, potential hazard),
require removal.
3 Average (worthy of preservation but has some minor problems, minor
decline, tip die-back, minor inclusion) problems can be corrected.
4 Above Average (rather healthy tree with very minor problems)
5 Outstanding (very healthy)
6 Specimen (unique in size, age, exceptional quality)
Trees rated 0-2 should be removed because they pose a hazard, no replacement required, trees
rated 3 are worthy of preservation but could be sacrificed to allow additional preservation
requirements for trees rated 4-6, trees rated 4-5 should receive most of the attention for preservation.
Great efforts must be made to preserve these trees, and trees rated 6 (very rarely used) are trees
that cannot be removed.

1. ARCHITECTURAL THEME:
a. The landscaping in a Comprehensive Landscape Program shall be designed as a part of the architectural theme of the principal buildings
proposed or developed on the parcel proposed for the development.
We are requesting the following Landscape Waivers - North Buffer (Drew St) from 15' to 5', East Buffer (Frederica Dr) from
10' to 5' and South Buffer from 10' to 1.5'.
OR
b. The design, character, location and/or materials of the landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program shall be
demonstrably more attractive than landscaping otherwise permitted on the parcel proposed for development under the minimum landscape
standards.
To reduce the impact of the reduced perimeter buffers, the plan provides 25% interior greenspace in lieu of the required 10%.
Also the plan provides many more trees and palms than the code requires and larger sizes. Many of the shrubs and ground
cover are also larger than the typical required sizes. 90% of the trees specified are native varieties.
See attached narrative for more details.

Page 1 of 2
2. COMMUNITY CHARACTER:
The landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program will enhance the community character of the City of Clearwater.
The proposed landscape design contains primarily native and drought tolerant plant materials that are well adapted to the
project sites environmental characteristics, therefore the plant materials will thrive in the native soils with only minimal additions
of water and fertilizer. The drip irrigation will provide water directly to the plant rootballs without evaporation or runoff.
See attached narrative for more details.
3. PROPERTY VALUES:
The landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program will have a beneficial impact on the value of the property in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
The property will be transformed from a dusty unpaved parking area to a new vibrant community with many outdoor amenities.
The proposed trees, palms and shrubs will enhance the attractive building facades. The pool area will have a tropical feel and
the preserved large existing Oak tree will serve as a perfect setting for the tot lot. Because of the proposed lush landscape and
the attractive architecture the property's value will be greatly enhanced.
See attached narrative for more details.
4. SPECIAL AREA OR SCENIC CORRIDOR PLAN:
The landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program is consistent with any special area or scenic corridor plan which
the City of Clearwater has prepared and adopted for the area in which the parcel proposed for development is located.
The perimeter landscape has been designed to include a variety of shade and understory trees and specimen palms to accent
the facades of the buildings that front on the project right-of-ways. Beneath the trees a complimentary mix of evergreen,
variegated and flowering shrubs fill the landscape buffer. The generous patios along the right-of-ways will encourage
pedestrian use of the space. The shaded patios will be used for outdoor family dining & entertaining.
See attached narrative for more details.
THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 3, DIVISION 12 MAY BE WAIVED OR MODIFIED AS A PART OF A LEVEL ONE OR LEVEL
TWO APPLICATION, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IF THE APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE
LANDSCAPE PROGRAM, WHICH SATISFIES THE ABOVE CRITERIA. THE USE OF LANDSCAPE PLANS, SECTIONS / ELEVATIONS,
RENDERINGS AND PERSPECTIVES MAY BE NECESSARY TO SUPPLEMENT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS WORKSHEET.

Comprehensive Landscape Program Narrative
We are requesting the following Landscape waivers - North buffer (Drew) from 15' to 5', East
buffer (Fredrica) from 10'to 5', and South buffer from 10' to 1.5'.
1. MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN MINIMUM STANDARDS
To reduce the impact of the reduced perimeter buffers, the plan provides 25% interior greenspace in
lieu of the required 10%. Also the plan provides many more trees and palms that the code
requirements and larger sizes than required. The Comprehensive Landscape Plan includes 10
specimen palms, 36 trees @ 4" caliper and a total of 113 trees when only 38 are required. Many of
the shrubs and ground cover material have been sized larger than the typical required sizes. The
Sandankwa Viburnum and the Bird of Paradise shrubs are 7 gallon and the Indian Hawthorn and
Schillings Holly ground cover are 3 gallon, instead of the typical 1 gallon size. All of the trees are
native except for the Crape Myrtle which have been specified for their colorful flowers.
2. COMMUNITY CHARACTER
The proposed landscape design contains primarily native and drought tolerant plant materials that
are well adapted to the project sites environmental characteristics, therefore the plant materials will
thrive in the native soils with only minimal additions of water and fertilizer. The drip irrigation will
provide water directly to the plant rootballs without evaporation or runoff.
3. PROPERTY VALUES
The property will be transformed from an unpaved parking area to a new vibrant community with
many outdoor amenities. The proposed trees, palms and shrubs will enhance the attractive building
facades. The pool area will have a tropical feel and the preserved large existing oak tree will serve
as a perfect setting for the tot lot. The planting areas between each garage will have either a
Christmas palm or a flowering Crape Myrtle tree. Because of the proposed lush Landscape and the

4. SCENIC CORRIDOR PLAN
The perimeter landscape has been designed to include a variety of shade and understory trees and
specimen palms to accent the facades of the buildings that front on the project right of ways.
Beneath the trees a complementary mix of evergreen, variegated and flowering shrubs and ground
cover fill the landscape buffer. The generous patios and sidewalk connections along the building
perimeters will encourage pedestrian use of the spaces. Families will use the shaded patios for
outdoor dining and entertaining.
