Owner/Applicant: Clearwater Retail Group, LTD. Representative: Braulio Grajales High Point Engineering Address: 810 S. Missouri Avenue CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Flexible Development application to permit a new building with 7,225 square feet of retail and 1,575 square feet of restaurant in the Commercial (C) District with a lot area of 59,554 square feet, a lot width of 237.66 feet along Druid Road and 162.74 feet along Missouri Avenue, a front setback (north along Druid Road) of 13.3 feet (to pavement) and 61.1 feet (to building), a front setback (east along Missouri Avenue) of 15 feet (to pavement) and 86 feet (to building), a side (south) setback of 3.3 feet (to pavement) and 25 feet (to building), a side (west) setback of 4.2 (to dumpster enclosure), five feet (to pavement) and 103.6 feet (to building), a building height of 19.16 feet (to flat roof) and 62 off-street parking spaces as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Community Development Code Section 2-704.C, with a reduction to the perimeter landscape buffer along Druid Road from 15 feet to 13.3 feet, a reduction to the perimeter landscape buffer along the south property line from five feet to 3.3 feet and the removal of foundation plantings along the north building facade as a Comprehensive Landscape Program under the provisions of Community Development Code Section 3-1202.G. CURRENT ZONING: Commercial (C) District CURRENT LAND USE PLAN CATEGORY: Commercial General (CG) PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Retail Sales and EXISTING North: Office (O) and SURROUNDING Commercial (C) Districts ZONING AND USES: South: Commercial (C) District East: Commercial (C) District West: Commercial (C) District services / Restaurant Attached Dwellings and Retail Sales and Services Restaurant Vacant Automobile Service Station Attached Dwellings Community Development Board - July 20, 2010 FLD2010-05002 - Page 1 of 9 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 1.367-acre subject property is located at the southwest corner of Druid Road and Missouri Avenue. The property has approximately 237 feet of frontage on Druid Road and 162 feet on Missouri Avenue. Currently, the property is vacant and overgrown, but previously the property was developed as a VisionWorks. At its meeting of October 18, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved a Flexible Development application (FLD2005-07076) for a 32-unit attached dwelling development with substantial flexibility to setbacks and landscape code requirements. This approval has since expired with no development having occurred on the site. The subject property is bordered on its north side across Druid Road by a retail sales and service use and a nonconforming duplex; on its south side by a restaurant; on its east side across Missouri Avenue by a vacant automobile service station; and on its west side by a private road and stormwater pond associated with an attached dwelling development that principally lies further to the southwest. It is noted that easements exist allowing for the subject property to have ingress/egress upon this private road as well as cross access with the off-street parking area for the adjacent restaurant to the south. Development Proposal: On May 4, 2010, a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project application was submitted to obtain approval to develop the existing vacant property over two phases. The first phase consists of the construction of a 4,075 square foot retail sales and services building along with 39 off- street parking spaces and a dumpster enclosure. The second phase consists of the construction of an additional 3,150 square feet of retail sales and services floor area, 1,575 square feet of restaurant floor area, 23 additional off-street parking spaces (a total of 62 spaces), and additional dumpster enclosure space. It is noted that the first phase will have adequate parking and refuse facilities to stand alone should the second phase not be developed. The proposed building has been located so as to comply with all setback requirements; however the applicant has requested flexibility with regard to setbacks measured to pavement, specifically with respect to the setback along Druid Road where the proposal provides for 13.3 feet from the property line to the parking stall at the northeast corner of the site. While the setback does become larger toward the west of the site (16.6 feet), this setback does not meet the flexibility provided for a Flexible Development application for restaurants/retail sales and services uses; therefore the development proposal is being reviewed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. The development proposal's compliance with the various development standards of the Community Development Code (CDC) is discussed below. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Pursuant to the Countywide Future Land Use Plan for the Commercial General (CG) land use category and CDC Section 2-701.1, the maximum allowable FAR is 0.55, which would allow for a maximum development size of 32,754 square feet on this parcel. The proposed 8,800 square foot building represents an FAR of 0.148, which is far below what may be permitted based upon the above Code provisions. Community Development Board - July 20, 2010 FLD2010-05002 - Page 2 of 9 Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR): Pursuant to CDC Section 2-701.1, the maximum allowable ISR is 0.90. The proposed ISR is 0.784, which is less then what may be permitted based upon the above Code provisions. Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no minimum required lot area or lot width for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, the minimum lot area requirement for restaurants and retail sales and services is 10,000 square feet. The subject property is 59,554 square feet (1.367 acres). For comparative purposes, the minimum lot width requirement for restaurants and retail sales and services is 100 feet. The lot widths along Druid Road and Missouri Avenue are 237.66 feet and 162.74 feet, respectively. The development proposal either meets or exceeds these comparative Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there are no minimum setback requirements for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, the minimum front setback requirement for restaurants and retail sales and services can range between 15 and 25 feet; and the side setback can range between zero and 10 feet. With regard to the proposed building, the minimum required setbacks will all be greatly exceeded; however flexibility has been requested with regard to the setbacks to the off-street parking area (pavement). Along Druid Road there would be a setback of 13.3 feet at the northeast corner of the property; however this would increase to 16.6 feet at the northwest corner. Along Missouri Avenue the setback would be 15 feet near the southeast comer, but would be as much as 29 feet near the northeast corner of the property. The setback along the south side of the property would be 3.3 feet; however this is consistent with the setback having already been provided by the adjacent property. The setback along the west side of the property is 4.2 feet for the dumpster enclosure and 5 feet for the off-street parking area. There is little concern with this setback as the adjoining property is a private road providing ingress/egress between Druid Road and the subject property, the adjacent restaurant to the south, and the attached dwelling development further to the south. All of the above setbacks are within the allowable range set forth by the Code for restaurant and retail sales and services uses in the Commercial (C) District, with the exception of the setback of 13.3 feet along Druid Road. As noted, however, this setback does increase toward the northwest corner of the property to a distance that is within the allowable range for these uses. Allowing further flexibility of this setback, as well as the requested flexibility for all other setbacks, would seem supportable based upon positive findings made with regard to CDC Section 2-704.C. Maximum Building Height: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no maximum allowable height for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, the maximum building height for restaurants and retail sales and services can range between 25 and 50 feet. As proposed, the height of the flat roof will be at 19.16 feet with an additional 2.66 feet for a parapet wall, both of which are well below that which may be permitted based upon the above Code provisions. Minimum Off-Street Parking: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum required parking for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project is determined by the Community Development Coordinator based on the specific use and/or ITE Manual standards. The off-street parking Community Development Board - July 20, 2010 FLD2010-05002 - Page 3 of 9 requirement for restaurants is 15 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, which for a 1,575 square foot restaurant would result in a requirement of 24 spaces. The off-street parking requirement for retail sales and services is 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, which for 7,225 square feet of retail floor area results in a requirement of 36 spaces. Therefore the total off-street parking requirement for the development would be 60 spaces. Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1405, when any land, building or area is used for two or more uses that are listed in the shared parking table, the minimum number of required parking spaces shall be determined by multiplying the individual minimum parking requirements by the appropriate percentages listed in the table. The following table depicts the development proposals parking requirement as per the shared parking table: WEEKDAY WEEKEND Use: Midnight 9 A.M. 6 P.M. 9 A.M. 6 P.M. 6 A.M. 4 P.M. Midnight 4 P.M. Midnight Retail (36) 5% = 1.8 70% = 25.2 90% = 32.4 100% = 36 70% = 25.2 Restaurant (24) 10% =2.4 50% = 12 100% = 24 50% = 12 100% = 2.4 Totals: 4.2 37.2 56.4 48 27.6 Based upon the above, the development proposal requires a minimum of 56 parking spaces. As proposed, a total of 62 parking spaces will be provided; thus the development proposal exceeds its parking requirement. Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment shall be completely screened from view from public streets and abutting properties. The plans do not depict the location of the air conditioning equipment for the individual tenant spaces, and while this equipment will no doubt be mounted on the roof of the building, its exact location is unknown. Therefore, it is attached as a condition of approval that, prior to the issuance of any building permits, the architectural plans shall be revised or an additional sheet provided that clearly depicts the location of all roof-mounted mechanical equipment and the means by which it will be adequately screened from view from public streets and abutting properties. Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the existing 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. The proposal was reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineering Department and found to be acceptable. Landscaping; Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D.1, where a non-residential property abuts an arterial or collector right-of-way a 15-foot wide perimeter landscape buffer with trees 35 feet on center is required. Druid Road is adjacent to the north side of the subject property; however the width of the buffer is only 13.3 feet for a portion located toward the northeast corner of the property. Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D.1, where two non-residential uses abut one another, a five- foot wide perimeter landscape buffer with trees 35 feet on center is required. The subject property abuts another non-residential uses along the south property line; however the width of the buffer provided is only a 3.3 feet. Community Development Board - July 20, 2010 FLD2010-05002 - Page 4 of 9 Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E.2, foundation plantings shall be provided along the entire building fagade with frontage along a right-of-way, excluding space necessary for building ingress/egress, within 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. A minimum of 50 percent of the area shall contain shrubs with the remainder to be groundcover. The development proposal does not include the provision of the required foundation plantings along the north building fagade. Based upon the above, the applicant has requested the approval of a Comprehensive Landscape Program with the above referenced reductions to the perimeter landscape buffer widths, and elimination of the north foundation plantings. 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: Consistent I Inconsistent 1. Architectural theme: a. The landscaping in a comprehensive landscape program shall be designed as a N/A N/A part of the architectural theme of the principle buildings proposed or developed on the parcel proposed for development; or b. The design, character, location and/or materials of the landscape treatment x 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. 2. Lighting: Any lighting proposed as a part of a comprehensive landscape program is X automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned off when the business is closed. 3. Community character: The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive X landscape program will enhance the community character of the City of Clearwater. 4.

Special area or scenic corridor plan: The landscape treatment proposed in the X 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. In response to the above criteria pertaining to Architectural Theme, the applicant has indicated that the proposed landscape plan is demonstrably more attractive than what otherwise could be approved as it provides the following: ¦ A balanced design for the landscape buffers along Missouri Avenue and Druid Road that mixes accent flowering trees, palms, shrubs, and small plants/groundcover; ¦ A balanced design for the interior landscape islands that mixes shade trees, palms, flowering shrubs and small plants/groundcover; ¦ A balanced design for the building foundation landscape that mixes palms, grass and small plants/groundcover; ¦ Phase I of the project will use Florida Grade #1 plant materials in the proposed landscape treatment including 12 live oaks, 14 little gem southern magnolias, 10 crepe myrtles, 18 Community Development Board - July 20, 2010 FLD2010-05002 - Page 5 of 9 washingtonia palms, 18 sabal palms, 155 sandanqua viburnum, 45 sand cord grass, 96 indian hawthorne, variegated flax lily, evergreen giant liriope, and bahia sod. ¦ Phase II of the project will use Florida Grade #1 plant materials in the proposed treatment including 12 yaupon hollys, 115 sandanqua viburnum, 56 indian hawthorn, 35 sand cord grass, evergreen giant liriope, and variegated flax lily. With regard to the remaining criteria, the applicant had indicated that the lighting has been designed to meet Code; however it is not indicated that the lighting will be automatically controlled so that it is turned off when the businesses are closed, as required by the Comprehensive Landscape Program criteria. This item has been attached as a condition of approval. The number, size, quality of the proposed plant materials and the balanced design will offer upgraded and positive value to the immediate vicinity. Based upon the above and subject to the attached conditions of approval, a positive finding can be made with regard to compliance with the Comprehensive Landscape Program criteria.
