6. Administrative Public Hearings
6.1 Approve amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan adding Future Land
Use Map categories for transit oriented development, adding an objective and
policies pertaining to the new categories, and pass Ordinance 8201-10 on first
reading.(CPA2010-06001)
The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) New Starts Program funds fixed
guideway projects. The Alternatives Analysis is the first step in fulfilling the New
Starts criteria. The Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA),
Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Pinellas Suncoast
Transit Authority (PSTA) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) signed
a Memorandum of Understanding to undertake an FTA Alternatives Analysis. The
Alternatives Analysis will identify a preferred transit alignment and station
locations in Pinellas County.
The second step in competing for funding in the New Starts program is justifying
transit projects by having transit supportive land use policies. The TBARTA Land
Use Working Group developed transit oriented development guiding principles.
Using these principles throughout the Tampa Bay area will make it easier to work
towards common goals and effectively compete for funding. This amendment
contains transit-oriented development policies based on TBARTA’s guiding
principles.
The Planning and Development Department is proposing amendments to the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan that add plan classification categories for transit
oriented development and an objective and policies pertaining to the new
categories. The new categories and their intensity standards are as follows:
Classification Minimum and Maximum Intensity
Type I: Urban Center Downtown FAR 1.5-7.0 (no limit on maximum FAR within
1/8 mile of the transit station)
Type II: Suburban Center FAR 0.5-5.0
Type III: Neighborhood Center FAR 0.5-3.0
Type IV: Complete Street FAR 0.5-2.0
Corridor
The policies address the following issues:
How transit station locations and typologies are determined;
How transit station area plans are adopted;
How transit station area planning is handled when it traverses jurisdictional
boundaries;
Council 2010-08-05 2
What each transit station area plan must include;
The guiding principles to be followed in the planning, design and development of
transit station area plans as related to:
- Community & Economic Development
- Land Use
- Mobility
- Parking
- Urban Design
A copy of the staff report, which contains further analysis and information on the
proposed amendments, is available.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed plan
amendment at its meeting on July 20, 2010. The Planning and Development
Department will report its recommendation at the August 5, 2010 City Council
meeting.

7. Quasi-judicial Public Hearings
7.1 Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Residential Urban (RU)
classification to the Institutional (I) classification and a Zoning Atlas Amendment
from the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District to the Institutional (I)
District for property at 110 N. McMullen Booth Road, located on the northeast
corner of Virginia Avenue and Meadow Lark Lane in Section 16, Township 29
South, Range 16 East, and pass Ordinances 8193-10 and 8194-10 on first
reading. (LUZ2010-05001)
The proposed amendments involve 0.219 acres of land located at the northeast
Council 2010-08-05 3
corner of Virginia Avenue and Meadow Lark Lane, approximately 335 feet east of
Bayview Avenue. The subject property is part of a larger parcel owned and
occupied by First Baptist Church of Clearwater, Inc. a/k/a Calvary Baptist Church
(applicant). The subject property is undeveloped. The applicant intends to use the
property in the future for stormwater drainage or athletic fields for church/school
use. The request is to change the future land use classification of Residential
Urban (RU) to Institutional (I) and the zoning designation of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR) to Institutional (I). The applicant recently received approval for
Institutional land use and zoning designations for 28 parcels surrounding the
subject property, which was inadvertently excluded from the prior action by the
applicant.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
future land use and rezoning amendments are consistent with Community
Development Code standards in that:
The proposed land use plan and zoning amendments are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area.
Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
The applications will not have an adverse impact on the natural environment.
A complete analysis of the proposal is included in the staff report.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the Future Land Use Map
amendment is subject to approval by the Pinellas Planning Council and Board of
County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. Based on
the density of the category requested, review and approval by the Florida
Department of Community Affairs is also required.
The Community Development Board reviewed the proposed amendments at its
public hearing on July 20, 2010. The Planning & Development Department will
report the Board’s recommendation to the City Council at a public hearing on
August 5, 2010.
In response to a question, the City Attorney said the Mayor did not need to recuse
himself.
Councilmember Bill Jonson moved to approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment
from the Residential Urban (RU) classification to the Institutional (I) classification and a
Council 2010-08-05 4
Zoning Atlas Amendment from the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District to
the Institutional (I) District for property at 110 N. McMullen Booth Road, located on the

South, Range 16 East. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8193-10 was presented and read by title only. Vice Mayor John Doran
moved to pass Ordinance 8193-10 on first reading. The motion was duly seconded and
upon roll call, the vote was:
"Ayes": Mayor Frank Hibbard, Vice Mayor John Doran, Councilmember George N.
Cretekos, Councilmember Paul Gibson, and Councilmember Bill Jonson.
"Nays": None.
Ordinance 8194-10 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember George N.

7.2 Approve the Future Land Use Plan Amendment from the Institutional (I),
Commercial General (CG), Preservation (P), Water/Drainage Feature,
Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) and Residential Low (RL) Categories to the
Institutional (I), Preservation (P), Recreation/ Open Space (R/OS), and
Water/Drainage Feature Categories and the Zoning Atlas Amendment from the
Institutional (I), Commercial (C), Preservation (P), Low Density Residential (LDR),
and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts to the Institutional (I), Preservation
(P), and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts, for property located at 3400
Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard (consisting of a portion of Section 16, Township 29 South,
Range 16 East)and pass Ordinances 8197-10 and 8198-10 on first reading and
approve a Development Agreement for this property between Clearwater
Christian College Private School, Inc. and the City of Clearwater and adopt
Resolution 10-18. (LUZ2010-06002 and DVA2010-06001)
The subject site is comprised of four parcels of land 131.05 acres in area. It is
located on the north side of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard approximately 900 feet east of
Bayshore Boulevard. The applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use
Plan Map designation for the parcels from Institutional (I), Commercial General
Council 2010-08-05 5
(CG), Preservation (P), Water/Drainage Feature, Recreation/Open Space (R/OS)
and Residential Low (RL) Categories to the Institutional (I), Preservation (P),
Recreation/ Open Space (R/OS), and Water/Drainage Feature and to rezone it
from the Institutional (I), Commercial (C), Preservation (P), Low Density
Residential (LDR), and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts to the
Institutional (I), Preservation (P), and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts in
order to expand the existing college and to make certain land use and zoning
designations consistent with the actual characteristics of the area. The proposed
Institutional (I) future land use category would permit up to 331 dwelling units (993
dormitory beds) or a maximum of 751,736 square feet of nonresidential floor area;
however, the college is comprised of residential and nonresidential space so a
mixed-use calculation is required. The applicant is proposing to limit the
residential density to 750 dormitory beds and the nonresidential intensity to
170,000 square feet of classrooms and administrative facilities through a
development agreement (DVA2010-06002). The Planning Department has
determined that the proposed land use plan amendment and rezoning
applications are consistent with the following standards specified in the
Community Development Code:
The proposed land use plan amendment and rezoning application are consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area.
Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
Based on the proposed mitigation plan, the applications will not have a negative
impact on the natural environment.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the future land use plan
amendment is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the
Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning
Authority. Due to the size of the plan amendment site and the density allowed in
the Institutional Plan Category, review and approval by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs is also required.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Agreement in conjunction
with the proposed future land use plan amendment. The Development Agreement
proposes dividing the total property into two areas, a Mitigation Area (98.99 acres)
and a Master Plan Area (32.06 acres). The proposed agreement includes a
conceptual Master Plan limiting residential density to 750 dormitory beds and
nonresidential density to 170,000 square feet (0.149 floor area ratio), a Mitigation
Plan, and an easement for access to Coopers Point Nature Park. The Mitigation
Plan requires upgrades to the entire site’s stormwater facilities within the Master
Plan Area, application for approval of a Mitigation Bank, a conservation easement
Council 2010-08-05 6
over the Mitigation Area, and establishes boundary change procedures in the
event that the agency permitting process results in changes to the proposed
wetland jurisdictional boundary line as depicted on the Master Plan.
The Planning Department has determined that the proposed Development
Agreement is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Please refer to the
attached development agreement (DVA2004-00004) staff report for the complete
analysis.
Administrative Public Hearing on Land Use Amendment
Planner Lauren Matzke provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding the land use plan
amendment. The City Attorney stated that the record will include the staff report and
documents presented at the Community Development Board meeting.
In response to a question, Ms. Matzke said 5.6 acres are currently designated
Institutional.
Applicant representative Katie Cole reviewed the proposed project. The application was
well thought out and worked on for the last 5 years. The eagle’s nest is 9 feet from the
property line not the proposed development. Dave Gildersleeve, Wade Trim, said the
application is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan. Much of the campus was
constructed in the 1960’s and 1970’s before stormwater regulations were in effect. The
project will improve water quality and lock in densities and intensities of uses. Tom
Kuba, environmental professional, said the proposed mitigation plan will improve the
habitat. Restoring the water flow will assist in flushing the mangrove. Beverly Burkett,
mitigation plan developer, reviewed the mitigation banks, or preapproved environmental
areas, that require federal and state approvals and regional environmental
benefits. The mitigation bank requires establishing a trust fund to maintain the property,
which is transferred along with the land. There are 55 mitigation banks in Florida. The
mitigation plan must be implemented in conjunction with development.
In response to questions, Ms. Cole said the campus comprises 131 acres with 19.4
acres of Institutional. Once the institutional land use is consolidated, there will be 26.55
acres. The mitigation plan area entails 98.99 acres. If request is approved, the
applicant cannot come back to the city and ask for any of the 98.99 acres preservation.
The mitigation plan is implicit to the bank. Portions of the credit generated by the
mitigation bank will be used for the project. If a mitigation plan is not approved by
permitting agencies, the city can use a land use amendment to unwind any approvals
given tonight.
It was stated that the item before council changes the land use and zoning which
allows the applicant to work with other regulatory agencies and obtain necessary
permits needed to implement project.
Council 2010-08-05 7
In response to a question, Engineering Director Mike Quillen said once the applicant
receives all necessary permit approvals, the applicant must obtain a CO (certificate of
occupancy). The CO will not be issued until the mitigation is completed. A certificate of
completion will be issued once the ballfield is completed.
The Council recessed from 7:34 p.m. to 7:49 p.m.
Twenty individuals spoke in opposition and three individuals spoke in support.
In response to questions, Ms. Cole said 99 acres will be turned over to the state or city
upon completion of the mitigation plan. The ballfield will be lit. If the project cannot
comply with the Bald Eagle Management Plan guidelines, the ballfield could not be
constructed. There are 11 permitting agencies that must give approval. Mr. Kuba said
he has been studying the area for 10 years. Mr. Gildersleeve said the parking lot will
meet impermeable requirements as required by code.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed regarding water quality in the area and
impact to bald eagle. It was noted that the proposed project requires approval
from various federal and state agencies.
Councilmember Paul Gibson moved to approve the Future Land Use Plan Amendment
from the Institutional (I), Commercial General (CG), Preservation (P), Water/Drainage
Feature, Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) and Residential Low (RL) Categories to the

Feature Categories. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

The City Attorney stated that the record will include the staff report and
documents presented at the Community Development Board.
Six individuals spoke in opposition and one individual expressed concern.
In response to a question, the City Attorney said the re-zoning will be invalidated if the
Council 2010-08-05 8
land use amendment is later found invalid.
Vice Mayor John Doran moved to approve the Zoning Atlas Amendment from the
Institutional (I), Commercial (C), Preservation (P), Low Density Residential (LDR), and
Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts to the Institutional (I), Preservation (P), and
Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) Districts, for property located at 3400 Gulf-to-Bay

Council 2010-08-05 9
7.3 Deny a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Residential/Office General
(R/OG) and Residential Urban (RU) classifications to the Commercial General
(CG) Classification and a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the Office (O) and Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) districts to the Commercial (C) District for a
portion of the property located at 1475 Sunset Point Road (unplatted land in NW
¼ of SW ¼ of Section 2, Township 29 South, Range 15 East, and part of Lot 9
Brentwood Estates), and deny passage of Ordinances 8195-10 and 8196-10 on
first reading. (LUZ2010-06001)
This future land use map amendment and rezoning application involves 1.23
acres of an approximately 1.52-acre parcel, located on the south side of Sunset
Point Road, approximately 150 feet west of North Highland Avenue. This property
has Future Land Use Map classifications of Residential/Office General (R/OG)
and Residential Urban (RU) and zoning designations of Office (O) and Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The applicant is requesting to amend the
future land use classification to the Commercial General (CG) classification and
the zoning district to the Commercial (C) District. Currently, 0.29 acres of the
subject property have commercial future land use and zoning classifications.
The subject property functioned as a bank beginning in 1965 and ending in May
2007 with the closure of Bank of America. The former bank site contains a
building, parking lot, and entrance on the north portion of the property fronting on
Sunset Point Road, and a drive through and drive isle traversing the eastern
portion of the property and connecting to Highland Avenue. This land use map
amendment and rezoning application was not accompanied by an application for
site redevelopment, therefore no use is currently proposed.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning amendment are inconsistent with
the Community Development Code as specified below:
The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the
Countywide Plan Rules, and the Community Development Code;
The available uses in the Commercial (C) District are incompatible with the
surrounding area; and
The proposed amendment conflicts with the character of the neighborhood.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment is
subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of County
Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The application is a
large-scale amendment and review and approval by the Florida Department of
Community Affairs is required.
Council 2010-08-05 10
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its public hearing
on July 20, 2010. The Planning and Development Department will report its
recommendation at the August 5, 2010 City Council meeting.
Administrative Public Hearing on Land Use Amendment
Planner Cate Lee provided a PowerPoint presentation. The Community Development
Board recommended denial of the applicant’s request at the July 20, 2010 meeting with
a 4:3 vote.
In response to a question, Planning and Development Director Michael Delk said there
is an excess of retail space in the proposed area. Ms. Lee said a bank is currently an
allowed use.
Applicant representative Todd Pressman provided a PowerPoint presentation. The
former bank site has been vacant since 2006 and has fallen into disrepair. Mr.
Pressman said the neighboring property owners he has spoken to support the
applicant’s request. He submitted a copy of a contract to purchase the property by the
developers of Family Dollar stores.
In response to questions, Ms. Lee said the permitted uses allowed in the commercial
general designation include restaurants, retail services, and overnight
accommodations. Mr. Delk said the area is mainly residential and staff recommends
staying at a lower intensity land use and zoning.
Concerns were expressed with uses allowed with commercial general zoning
designation and impact it would have on character of neighborhood.
The City Attorney noted that the purchase contract provided by the applicant was not
signed and therefore not valid. Mr. Pressman said the contract is contingent on the
zoning change.
Two individuals spoke in support.
In response to a question, Assistant City Attorney Leslie Dougall-Sides said the land
use zoning case should not force the applicant to a particular site plan.
It was suggested the item be continued in order for the applicant to submit a site plan.
Planning and Development Assistant Director Gina Clayton said the item requires a
large scale plan amendment that requires approval from the Department of Community
Affairs. If the item is not approved now, the request must wait until next year.

10.1 Accept the Town of Belleair’s Resolution 2010-29 permitting Clearwater to provide
reclaimed water service to its residents when feasible and otherwise not available
and adopt Resolution 10-17.
The City of Clearwater and Town of Belleair agree via an Interlocal Agreement
that Clearwater may provide reclaimed water service to Belleair’s residents when
feasible and not otherwise available.
Belleair’s Commission passed and adopted Resolution 2010-29 on July 20, 2010,
authorizing the agreement.
Clearwater is requested to acknowledge Belleair's Resolution by approving
Council 2010-08-05 18
Resolution 10-17.
There is no cost associated with this item.
Councilmember Bill Jonson moved to accept the Town of Belleair’s Resolution 2010-29
permitting Clearwater to provide reclaimed water service to its residents when feasible
and otherwise not available. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Resolution 10-17 was presented and read by title only. Vice Mayor John Doran moved

"Nays": None.
10.2 Approve an Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Belleair permitting the City of
Clearwater to provide reclaimed water service to its residents when feasible and
otherwise not available and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
Belleair Country Club (BCC) has requested reclaimed water service from
Clearwater to supplement irrigation for its golf course. Pinellas County holds an
interlocal agreement with the Town of Belleair to treat its wastewater and return
reclaimed water service to the town. The Town of Belleair provides reclaimed
water services to two golf courses. BCC also relies on well water to meet their
irrigation needs. BCC has requested that Clearwater provide reclaimed water in
addition to reclaimed water provided by Pinellas County. Staff has recommended
this project as feasible, and it is in design at this time.
The reclaimed water main passes by a residential neighborhood to reach BCC’s
golf course. The resident homeowners along the pipeline route, on Willadel Drive,
have requested to be supplied with reclaimed water, as it is not available through
the Town of Belleair via Pinellas County. Staff recommends providing this service
to the residents whose property is adjacent to this pipeline.
Chapter 180, Florida Statutes provides that the City of Clearwater has the power
and the present capability to provide such reclaimed water service in the Town of
Belleair; and Attorney General Opinion 94-28 provides language that is more
specific to that effect.
The Town of Belleair and Clearwater wish to set forth their agreement with
respect to the provision of such reclaimed water service to those areas within the
Council 2010-08-05 19
corporate limits of the Town of Belleair, pursuant to the provisions of the Florida
Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969, as amended.
Both parties wish to avoid the necessity of governing boards’ approval for future
situations wherein reclaimed water is not available by the Town of Belleair, but
could feasibly be provided by the City of Clearwater.
There is no cost associated with this item.
Councilmember George N. Cretekos moved to approve an Interlocal Agreement with
the Town of Belleair permitting the City of Clearwater to provide reclaimed water service
to its residents when feasible and otherwise not available and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
10.3 Amend Chapter 30, Traffic and Motor Vehicles, Code of Ordinances, establishing
a parking ticket dismissal program, revising the time frame and fee structure for
delinquent parking tickets, establishing a program allowing temporary or
permanent removal or rental of municipal parking, modifying Appendix A,
Schedule of Fees, and pass Ordinance 8168-10 on first reading.
In 2008, the parking system installed multi-space parking pay stations in several
off street parking facilities on the beach. For enforcement purposes, the ordinance
requires further clarification when referring to metered parking in order to include
the pay stations.
Establishing a parking ticket dismissal program with specific criteria will eliminate
the need to hear certain contested violations in court, thereby saving staff time
and court costs. The proposed fee of $10.00 will cover administration costs for the
initial ticketing, follow-up review and dismissal processes.
By extending the delinquent parking ticket time frame from 80 to 90 days, the City
can fully recover the collection fees, which are currently being charged to the City
by the processing company. The fees will be passed on to the offender.
At various times there is a temporary need to remove metered parking to
accommodate construction and other limited special uses. Establishing a fee for
the temporary removal and reinstallation of the meter will cover the cost of this
expense. The proposed fee is $50 for the removal and $50 for the reinstallation.
The proposed fee for the permanent removal of any municipal parking is
calculated based upon the current daily rental rate for a period of two years.
Temporary use of any municipal parking, including valet operations, must be
approved in advance in accordance with specific requirements. The fees are
Council 2010-08-05 20
based on the current daily fee schedule along with a proposed administrative fee.
Updates to Appendix A, Schedule of Fees, include:
- Eliminating specific dollar amounts for the rental of parking spaces and include
language stating the highest current City of Clearwater municipal daily rate, which
is how the current rates are calculated;
- Administrative Fees for parking space rentals: $20 for five or less spaces, $30
for six to 10 spaces, and $50 for eleven or more spaces;
- Permanent loss of parking fee is based on the loss of daily revenue for a period
of two years instead of one year.
Concern was expressed with provision not allowing putting additional funds after the
meter runs out.
The majority felt it was a tool needed to assure meter turn over.
Vice Mayor John Doran moved to amend Chapter 30, Traffic and Motor Vehicles, Code
of Ordinances, establishing a parking ticket dismissal program, revising the time frame
and fee structure for delinquent parking tickets, establishing a program allowing
temporary or permanent removal or rental of municipal parking, modifying Appendix A,
Schedule of Fees. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8168-10 was presented and read by title only.

Council 2010-08-05 21
10.4 Amend Chapter 32, Clearwater Code of Ordinances, as related to general potable
and reclaimed watering schedules, and pass Ordinance 8202-10 on first reading.
The Governing Board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD) lifted water shortage restrictions effective July 1, 2010, following a
three-year drought.
Created in response to the original water shortage restrictions imposed by
SWFWMD, Clearwater Ordinance 7802-07 contains a provision giving the City
Manager authority to alter Clearwater’s watering restrictions contained in Code
Section 32.153 upon declaration of changes by SWFWMD in accordance with
SWFWMD’s administrative order.
Ordinance 8202-10 codifies Clearwater’s normal condition watering schedule as
altered by the City Manager and aligns the reclaimed watering schedule for more
hours of availability and ease of enforcement.
There are no costs associated with this item.

10.5 Approve the timeline for negotiating changes to the Employees’ Pension Plan,
provide direction on changes desired, and appropriate $200,000 from General
Fund retained earnings to pay for any costs incurred related to such changes
including costs for legal and actuary services related to such changes.
Staff will be making recommended pension plan changes based on prior Council
guidance to focus on eliminating the no-cost spousal benefit, limiting the inclusion
of overtime in final pension calculations, extending the years of service to be
eligible for retirement, and establishing of a second tier plan for future employees.
Council 2010-08-05 22
Prior to that recommendation, these potential changes must first be coordinated
with the Pension Plan Attorney to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and
the Plan Actuary for a cost analysis. Once these recommendations are approved,
the City must collectively bargain these changes with all the City Unions. Once
collective bargaining is completed, an actuarial impact statement must be
completed, approval obtained by the State Division of Retirement, drafting of the
referendum language, and final approval by City Council. Due to these required
steps the earliest a referendum can be held is November 2012.
The proposed time line is as follows:
Council determines specific changes to pursue: Sep-Oct 2010
Actuary provides cost data: Oct-Nov 2010
Follow-up discussions with City Council: Jan 2011
Collective bargaining: Feb-Apr 2011
Union agreement or impasse: May-Oct 2011
Actuary impact statement: Nov 2011-Jan 2012

10.6 Establish the Clearwater Greenprint Stakeholder Steering Committee and
provisions for member eligibility, categories and term of office, adopt Resolution
10-20, and appoint committee members.
Clearwater Greenprint will lead to the adoption of strategies and actions to
enhance mobility, increase energy efficiency and conservation, and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions citywide. The primary objectives of the project are to:
1) set the policies and strategies to guide energy efficient growth and
redevelopment in Clearwater over the next 20 years; 2) develop an action plan for
public and private sector decision-making that substantially advances the city in
its pursuit of community sustainability and quality of life; and 3) meet requirements
mandated by Florida Senate Bill 360 (transportation mobility) and Florida House
Bill 697 (energy-efficiency).
A steering committee comprised of Clearwater stakeholders will benefit the
Clearwater Greenprint project by providing strategic direction and evaluation of
Council 2010-08-05 23
the planning process and products (e.g., proposed strategies and actions). The
Stakeholder Steering Committee will consist of 15-21 members representing
diverse perspectives, experiences and cultures. Specifically, the committee will
assist the project team in:
Establishing strategic direction for Clearwater Greenprint;
Setting mobility and sustainability goals and policies for Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan;
Generating public interest and participation in project surveys, interactive open
houses and public hearings;
Communicating the vision and strategy to others within their professional and
social networks; and
Ensuring vision continuity through leadership changes.
For the first phase (comprehensive plan amendments), the members will
participate in a series of scheduled committee meetings from August 2010 to
February 2011, at which time the adoption public hearing process begins. The
committee will reconvened in spring/summer 2011 to commence the projects’
second phase (Community Development Code amendments). Member terms of
office will be two years-- a little greater than the anticipated timeframe for the both
project phases. It is hoped that members will be able to participate throughout
both project phases. The committee will sunset at the conclusion of the same two-
year period.
A call for committee member applications was published on June 21, 2010, and
27 applications were received by the Planning and Development Department prior
to the July 14, 2010, application deadline. Staff has evaluated the applications
based on the desired committee composition, as defined by the committee
membership categories and targeted level of representation for each (see
resolution), and developed a recommended slate of committee members for
consideration and approval by City Council.
