Owner/Applicant: Dennis R. DeLoach. Jr. - Trustee Representative: Brent Perkey, Chase Central Construction Address: 1377-1395 S. Missouri Avenue CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Flexible Development approval to permit a multiple-tenant building with office, retail sales and services and limited vehicle service uses in the Commercial (C) District with a lot area of 27,153 square feet (0.62 acre), a front (west) setback of two feet (to existing pavement), a side (north) setback of 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a side (south) setback of five feet (to existing pavement), a rear (east) setback of 3.2 feet (to existing building), a building height of 19.08 feet (to top of existing roof deck) and 22 parking spaces, as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Community Development Code (CDC) Section 2-704.C; and a reduction to the perimeter buffer (west) along S. Missouri Avenue from 15 to two feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the north perimeter buffer from five to 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the east perimeter buffer from five to 3.2 feet (to existing building), a reduction to the foundation planting area from five to zero feet and a reduction to the percentage of interior landscape area from 10% to 0%, as a Comprehensive Landscape Program under the provisions of CDC Section 3-1202.G. CURRENT ZONING: Commercial (C) District CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY: Commercial General (CG) PROPERTY USE: Current Use: Office, vacant tenant spaces Proposed Use: Office, Retail Sales and Services and Limited Vehicle Service uses EXISTING North: Commercial (C) District Automobile repair SURROUNDING South: Commercial (C) District Automobile repair ZONING AND USES: East: Commercial (C) District Self storage West: Commercial (C) District Retail sales and vacant Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 1 of 10 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.62 acre site is located on the east side of S. Missouri Avenue, approximately 1,100 feet south of Lakeview Road and 200 feet northeast of Kingsley Street. The subject property is currently developed with a 9,514 square-foot commercial building with multiple tenant spaces. The northern tenant space is occupied by an office use, which has been located here for many years. The balance of the building has not had any tenants in years. The site has 258 feet of frontage along S. Missouri Avenue. Surrounding properties adjacent to this site are zoned Commercial (C) District, with the exception being a retention pond to the southeast being zoned Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) and Preservation (P) Districts. Properties to the north and south of the subject property all have similar parcel depth (105 feet) and are developed with vehicle service establishments. The property to the east is developed with a self storage facility. Properties to the west across S. Missouri Avenue are developed with retail sales uses. Development Proposal: The proposal is to allow new uses within a building that, for the most part, has not had tenants in many years. The building presently has four tenant spaces. The northern tenant space of 3,994 square feet is presently occupied by an office use that has been at this location for many years. A convenience store is proposed to be located within the adjacent 2,004 square feet tenant space. An oil change company is proposed to be located within the 2,995 square feet tenant space toward the south that has two overhead doors (this tenant space has had other limited, vehicle service uses in the past). An office use is proposed in 521 square-foot southernmost tenant space. This site is nonconforming to current Code setback requirements. CDC Section 6-102.E requires nonconforming structures that have been abandoned for more than six months to be brought into full compliance with current Code requirements. Due to this site being fully developed (and partially occupied), this proposal recognizes many of the existing setbacks to the existing building and pavement that do not meet current Code requirements. Site improvements are being made where possible and appropriate while providing as many parking spaces as possible. This proposal reorients the location of some of these parking spaces so that they function and comply with the parking standards of the Code, providing a one-way traffic flow from the south to the north. This proposal includes the provision of 22 parking spaces and includes a reduction to the required amount of parking spaces from 36 to 22 spaces. A Parking Reduction Study, submitted as part of the application material, analyzed the parking demand against the proposed parking supply and found the provided number of parking spaces was sufficient for the existing and proposed uses. Pavement is being removed in a number of locations in order to meet Code provisions and to improve sight triangle requirements, including both sides of the northern driveway, along the south property line to create a continuous five-foot setback and along the south property line adjacent to the proposed dumpster enclosure. An existing paved area at the northwest corner of the building that is unnecessary from a site functionality standpoint can be removed to provide interior landscape area (where the site is deficient). The existing landscape areas, as well as these Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 2 of 10 proposed landscape areas, are proposed to be landscaped to meet Code requirements, which will provide needed visual improvements to this site. These improvements, while not meeting the full Code provisions, will greatly improve the appearance of this site in an area of S. Missouri Avenue that needs improvement and re-investment. Without the reductions requested, the redevelopment of this site would be otherwise impractical. Floor Area Ratio (FAR): Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-701.1, the maximum FAR for properties with a designation of Commercial General (CG) is 0.55. There presently exists a total floor area of 9,514 square feet for a FAR of 0.35, which is consistent with the Code provisions. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR): Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2- 701.1, the maximum allowable ISR is 0.95. The overall existing ISR is 0.857 and, after construction of the improvements, the proposed ISR is 0.837, consistent with the 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, pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum lot area for office and retail sales uses can range between 3,500 - 10,000 square feet and can range between 5,000 - 10,000 square feet for limited vehicle service uses. The existing site is 27,153 square feet of lot area, which exceeds these Code provisions. Pursuant to this same Table, the minimum lot width for office and retail sales uses can range between 35 - 100 feet, while limited vehicle service uses can, range between 50 100 feet. The site has 258 feet of frontage along S. Missouri Avenue, which exceeds these Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum front setback for office, retail sales and limited vehicle service uses can range between 15 - 25 feet, the minimum side setback can range between 0 - 10 feet and the minimum rear setback can range between 10 - 20 feet. The proposal includes a front (west) setback of two feet (to existing pavement), a side (north) setback of 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a side (south) setback of five feet (to existing pavement) and a rear (east) setback of 3.2 feet (to existing building). Due to this site being fully developed, this proposal recognizes many of the existing setbacks to the existing building and pavement. With the number of parking spaces being less than the required amount, site improvements are being made where possible and appropriate. Pavement along the front of the property is presently at a zero-foot setback north of the northern driveway. Pavement otherwise is at a two-foot front setback adjacent to the proposed parallel parking spaces. Parking spaces on both sides of the northern driveway are being removed for sight triangle visibility purposes, which increases the setback to pavement at this location. Pavement along the south property line is presently at a zero-foot setback, but pavement is being removed to create a minimum five-foot setback. Additional excess pavement is being removed along the south property line adjacent to the proposed dumpster enclosure (which will meet the required Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 3 of 10 10-foot side setback). Removal of the pavement in these locations allows for the installation of enhanced perimeter landscaping, which will improve the appearance of this site. Surrounding properties have setbacks to buildings and pavement similar to this site. Minimum Off-Street Parking: The applicant indicates there are 32 existing parking spaces that are not well marked and don't meet current Code requirements. This proposal reorients the location of some of these parking spaces so that they function and comply with the parking standards of the Code. Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum required parking for office uses can range between 3 - 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet, retail sales uses can range between 4 - 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet and limited vehicle service uses can range between 4 - 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. CDC Section 3-1405 requires two or more uses to calculate parking based on a Shared Parking basis. When taking all three uses into account for this site and the Shared Parking calculation, the required parking is between 28 - 36 parking spaces. The proposed site plan provides 22 parking spaces. The proposal includes a reduction to the required number of parking spaces from 36 to 22 spaces. A Parking Reduction Study (Study) has been submitted as part of the application material, which analyzed the parking demand against the proposed parking supply. Based on the use characteristics of the existing uses of the property, the Study indicates a parking ratio of two spaces per 1,000 square feet is adequate. Staff agrees with the conclusions of the Study. Driveways for this property will remain in the same location as they exist today. The delineation and re-orientation of parking on-site provides for a one-way traffic flow from the south to the north. The location of the handicap parking spaces shown on the site plan fails to account for the location of pedestrian doors to comply with ADA requirements. As such,, due .to the location of the pedestrian doors for the proposed convenience store, the handicap parking spaces will need to shift to the south one space and the accessible path will shift to the south by one parallel parking space. This relocation of the handicap parking spaces has been reviewed and been found acceptable by the Traffic Engineering Department. Any approval of this application will need to be conditioned on showing this shift on revised plans prior to the issuance of any building permits. Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the existing driveways on S. Missouri Avenue, 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 has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineering Department and been found to be acceptable. Shrubbery planted within the sight visibility triangles will need to be maintained to meet the Code requirements. Landscaping: The applicant indicates there are 32 existing parking spaces that are not well marked and don't meet current Code requirements. With the reorientation of parking to institute a one-way traffic flow, the proposal removes a landscape island on the north side of the southern driveway in order to allow the parking and traffic flow to function. Parking spaces on both sides of the northern driveway are being removed for sight visibility triangle purposes, providing areas to increase landscape area within this area of the site. The existing perimeter buffer along the north property line is being planted with a hedge (which needs to be changed from hibiscus to Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 4 of 10 viburnum shrubs) and dahoon holly trees. With the removal of the pavement on the north and south sides of the northern driveway to create new landscape areas, the applicant proposes one crape myrtle tree within each of these landscape areas. Due to the size of these created landscape areas and Code requirements, these crape myrtle trees should be revised to a shade tree that is acceptable to the Planning and Development Department. Due to these newly created landscape areas being perimeter buffers, the shrubs proposed within these areas must increase in size to 18"-24" at time of planting. The proposal includes upgrading the existing two-foot wide perimeter buffer along the street frontage adjacent to the parallel parking spaces with shrubs and accent and palm trees. Code provisions for this buffer require a total of five shade trees. Code provisions allow two accent trees and three palms to count the same as one shade tree. As such, the proposal must add either two more accent trees or three more palms to meet the Code provisions. Pavement is being removed along the south property line to provide a minimum five-foot perimeter buffer, compliant with Code provisions. The proposal includes the removal of excess pavement adjacent to the proposed dumpster enclosure to create a larger buffer in this area to offset landscape deficiencies in other areas of the site. The hibiscus shrubs along this southern buffer and along the southeast property line must be revised to viburnum shrubs. The proposal includes a reduction to the perimeter buffer (west) along S. Missouri Avenue from 15 to two feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the north perimeter buffer from five to 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the east perimeter buffer from five to 3.2 feet (to existing building), a reduction to the foundation planting area from five to zero feet and a reduction to the percentage of interior landscape area from 10% to 0%, as a Comprehensive Landscape Program under the provisions of CDC Section 3-1202.G. Much like required setbacks, this proposal recognizes many of the perimeter.buffers that exist to the existing building and pavement. While listed as a reduction to the foundation planting area to zero feet, the applicant proposes nine freestanding planters, each to be planted with an Italian cypress tree and four flax lilies in-lieu of removing pavement to create a "saw tooth" foundation planting area in the area between the end of the angled parking space and the sidewalk along the front of the building. While Staff has concerns regarding an ease of these freestanding planters to be removed, Staff is willing to work with the applicant due to the built conditions of the site. Any approval of this request should be conditioned on the provision of these freestanding planters and the landscape material proposed. With very little area available to include landscaping, due to the need for every parking space proposed, there is an area of excess pavement that can be removed to create a triangular interior landscape island at the northwest corner of the building. The applicant desires to retain an overhead door on the north side of the building that provides access to a storage area for the office tenant. The applicant desires to provide an area where a truck could back up to this overhead door. Provision of this "loading" area (or another parking space) is still possible with the removal of this triangular area for interior landscaping. Any approval of this application should be conditioned on requiring the creation of this triangular interior landscape area, to be planted with a shade tree, shrubs and groundcovers (as required by Code). Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 5 of 10 Solid Waste: The property is presently served by black barrels for the office use. The proposal includes the construction of a Code compliant dumpster enclosure on the south side of the property. With the adjacent building on the parcel to the south close to the common property line, this proposed dumpster has been located to provide at least a 10-foot separation between the enclosure and this adjacent building, which minimizes the possibility of a dumpster fire turning into a structure fire. The exterior of the trash enclosure (material and color) will need to be consistent with the existing building. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste and Fire Departments. Si gnage: There exists a nonconforming (height and setback) freestanding sign approximately midpoint of the site. At this point the provisions of CDC Section 6-104.A do not apply, however, circumstances could change that would invoke these provisions and require this freestanding sign to be brought into compliance with current Code requirements. Should a Comprehensive Sign Program be desired, nonconforming signage will be required to be brought into compliance. Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no active Code Compliance cases for the subject property.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application and supporting materials at its meeting of August 5, 2010, and deemed the development proposal to be legally sufficient to move forward to the Community Development Board (CDB), based upon the following: Findings of Fact. The Planning and Development Department, having reviewed all evidence submitted by the applicant and requirements of the Community Development Code, finds that there is substantial competent evidence to support the following findings of fact: 1. The 0.62 acre site is located on the east side of S. Missouri Avenue, approximately 1,100 feet south of Lakeview Road and 200 feet northeast of Kingsley Street; 2. The subject property is currently developed with a 9,514 square-foot commercial building with four tenant spaces, where only the northernmost tenant space is occupied and the balance of the tenant spaces have been vacant for years; 3. In addition to the existing office tenant use, the proposal is to allow new uses in the building, including a convenience store, a limited vehicle service use and an additional office use; 4. This site is nonconforming to current Code setback requirements and site improvements are being made where possible and appropriate, while providing as many parking spaces as possible; 5. This proposal includes the provision of 22 parking spaces and includes a reduction to the required amount of parking spaces from 36 to 22 spaces, which is justified by the submitted Parking Demand Study; 6. The proposal includes reductions to setback and landscaping requirements; 7. The creation of new landscaped areas, as well as the landscaping of existing perimeter buffers, while not meeting the full Code provisions, will greatly improve the appearance of this site in an area of S. Missouri Avenue that needs improvement and re-investment; Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 - Page 8 of 10 8. The proposal includes the construction of a Code compliant dumpster enclosure on the south side of the site to serve all of the commercial tenants on the subject property; and 9. There are no active Code Compliance cases for the subject property. Conclusions of Law. The Planning and Development Department, having made the above findings of fact, reaches the following conclusions of law: 1. That the development proposal is consistent with the Standards as per Section 2-701.1 and Table 2-704 of the Community Development Code; 2. That the development proposal is consistent with the Flexibility criteria as per Section 2- 704.C of the Community Development Code; and 3. That the development proposal is consistent with the General Standards for Level Two Approvals as per Section 3-914.A of the Community Development Code. Based upon the above, the Planning and Development Department recommends APPROVAL of the Flexible Development approval to permit a multiple-tenant building with office, retail sales and services and limited vehicle service uses in the Commercial (C) District with a lot area of 27,153 square feet (0.62 acre), a front (west) setback of two feet (to existing pavement), a side (north) setback of 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a side (south) setback of five feet (to existing pavement), a rear (east) setback of 3.2 feet (to existing building), a building height of 19.08 feet (to top of existing roof deck) and 22 parking spaces, as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Community Development Code (CDC) Section 2-704.C; and a reduction to the perimeter buffer (west) along S. Missouri Avenue from 15 to two feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the north perimeter buffer from five to 1.7 feet (to existing building) and 2.7 feet (to existing pavement), a reduction to the east perimeter buffer from five to 3.2 feet (to existing building), a reduction to the, foundation planting area from five to zero feet and a reduction to the percentage of interior landscape area from 10% to 0%, as a Comprehensive Landscape Program under the provisions of CDC Section 3-1202.G, with the following conditions: Conditions of Approval: 1. That, prior to the issuance of any permit, a Declaration of Unity of Title be recorded in the public record; 2. That electrical equipment on the exterior of the building be painted the same as the building where located; 3. That, prior to the issuance of any permit, plans be revised to shift the handicap parking spaces south one space and the handicap accessible path shifted one parallel parking space to the south; 4.

It shall be the owners responsibility to ensure these planters are maintained and regularly watered; 5. That, prior to the issuance of any permit, the landscape plan be revised to include the following: a. Shrubs along the north property line be revised to viburnum (rather than hibiscus); Community Development Board - September 21, 2010 FLD2010-03006 -Page 9 of 10 b. Shrubs along the south and southeast property lines be revised to viburnum (rather than hibiscus); c. Revise the crape myrtle trees in the landscape areas created on the north and south sides of the northern driveway to a shade tree acceptable to the Planning and Development Department; d. The size of the Indian hawthorn shrubs within the landscape areas created on the north and south sides of the northern driveway be increased to 18"-24" in height at time of planting; e. To meet Code requirements for number of trees within the front perimeter buffer, two accent trees or three palm trees must be added to this buffer area; f. A triangular interior landscape area be created at the northwest corner of the building, acceptable to the Planning and Development Department, that is curbed and planted with a shade tree, shrubs and groundcovers; 6.

The refurbished building, site upgrade, and subsequent full occupancy will increase property values in the area. 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 redevelopment and site upgrade will not adversely affect health or safety. The office, retail, and limited vehicle service are permitted uses in the "C" zone and may employ additional neighborhood residents. Handicap accessibility improvements will improve safety and the provision of a dumpster will improve trash collection and health. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. Traffic generation will be minimal. The building size is not increasing. Parking lot modifications will improve the "one-way" traffic flow, removal of spaces within the sight triangle will improve traffic flow and increase visibility of pedestrians in the sidewalk. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The building improvements and parking lot modifications/upgrade will improve the appearance of the site and is consistent with-the community character which is commercial. The Missouri corridor is blighted with aged buildings and is in need of improvement. The area is characterized by single story retail and auto repair uses lacking appropriate landscape buffers, with little or no parking. The proposed improvements are cosmetic and will functionally improve the site and allow tenants to occupy vacant storefronts. The existing building complies with height limits, FAR limits, and ISR limits, however, front side and rear setbacks cannot be met due to existing building placement, and landscape buffers cannot be met. The applicant is increasing the amount of landscaping and increasing the open space to 16.3%. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes the adverse affects including visual, acoustic, and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed redevelopment will not create any adverse effects. The hours of operation will comply with all city ordinances, increased landscaping through the Comprehensive Landscape Program will increase the aesthetic appeal of the site, and the provision of a dumpster enclosure will assist with trash collection. Open space will be increased. COMPRESENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT CRITERIA 1. The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use and/or development standards set forth in this zoning district. The site is small and was developed in the 1980s, therefore the site conditions do not comply with current code and deviations are necessary to use the existing building. Reductions in setbacks, parking, and landscaping are necessary for the site to function. It would be impossible to fit 28-36 code compliant parking spaces on this site. 2. The development or redevelopment will be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as with the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of this code, and with the intent and purpose of this zoning district. The site has "CG" land use and "C" zoning which allows office, retail, and limited vehicle service uses. The building is 60% vacant and achieving full occupancy with viable neighborhood services is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies and the intent of the code. 3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties. The improvement of the site will not impede development of surrounding properties. In fact, the improvements will have a positive impact on surrounding properties on the S. Missouri corridor and may encourage neighbors to improve their properties. 4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed development. The refurbishment of the building and improvements to the parking lot and landscaping will have a positive impact on adjoining properties. The redevelopment will provide a new and vibrant look and a fully occupied center is a positive for this blighted area. 5. The proposed use shall otherwise be permitted by the underlying future land use category, be compatible with adjacent land uses, will not substantially alter the essential use characteristics of the neighborhood; and shall demonstrate compliance with one or more of the following objectives: a. The propose use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard or flexible development use. a. The propose uses are permitted in the "C" zone. b. The proposed use would be a significant economic contributor to the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy or by creating jobs b. The occupancy of vacant storefronts will create jobs. C. The development accommodates the expansion or redevelopment of an existing economic contributor c. The project is a redevelopment and will contribute to the local economy d. The proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing d. Not applicable e. The proposed use provides for development or redevelopment in an area that is characterized by other similar development and where a land use plan amendment and rezoning would result in a spot land use or zoning designation e. The redevelopment is in a commercial area with similar uses f. The proposed use provides for the development of a new and/or preservation of a working waterfront use f. Not applicable 6. Flexibility with regard to use, lot width, required setbacks, height and off- street parking are justified based on demonstrated compliance with all of the following design objectives: a. The proposed development will not impede the normal or orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties for uses permitted in this zoning district. a. The uses are permitted and will not impede development of adjoining properties also zoned "C" b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the City b. There are no adopted guidelines for this area other than normal code requirements. The development complies with code height, FAR and ISR requirements. C. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character of an area c. The scale/intensity is consistent with the existing commercial character of single story buildings with little or no landscape buffers and substantial impervious surface d. In order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance, the proposed development incorporates a substantial number of the following design elements: Changes in horizontal building planes Use of architectural details such as columns, cornices, stringcourses, pilasters, porticos, balconies, railings, awnings Variety in materials, colors, textures Distinctive fenestration patterns Building step-backs Distinctive roof forms d. The attached building elevations demonstrate a variety of materials and colors, stucco finish, wood lap siding, and awnings. The southernmost portion of the building is stepped-back from the majority of the building, and a new barrel-tile roof will be installed. e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design and appropriate distances between buildings. e. The Comprehensive Landscapes Program enhances the site. The amount of landscape area/open space is being increased and the impervious surface is being reduced.

Property: 1387 S. Missouri Avenue Requested Reductions: The subject property, located at 1387 S. Missouri Avenue, is requesting landscape reductions to the property due to existing site constraints. The applicant is requesting the following reductions: To the north, a 5 foot landscape buffer is required. Currently, only 2.7 feet from edge of pavement to the existing wall and 1.7 - 3.3 feet from the existing building to the existing wall or property line are provided. To the East, a 5 foot landscape buffer is required. Currently, only 3.2 - 3.8 feet from the existing building to the property line is provided. To the West, a 15 foot landscape buffer is required. Currently, only 2 - 2.7 feet from the existing pavement to the property line is provided. A 5' wide landscape area for foundation planting is required along the entire frontage of the building. Currently, there is no landscaped area between the parking and sidewalk. The applicant has proposed planters with accent trees and shrubs between the parking and sidewalk and a landscape area has been added in front of the southwest corner of the building. Ten percent of the vehicular use area is to be landscaped. Currently, only 4.2 percent is provided. Landscaped beds have been added wherever possible on the site. 1b. Continuation: a hibiscus hedge. The hedge could only be placed along the pavement area because of the width restraints (1.7 feet between the building and wall) and it would be difficult to maintain the shrubs between the building and the existing wall. This will provide additional screening from the parking area as well as some color. The Dahoon Holly trees have been upsized from a 2'/2" caliper (per code) to a 3" caliper. To the East, the area between the building and property line ranges from 3.2 to 3.8 feet in width. The current owner has issues with the adjacent property throwing trash in this area. Because of the need to access this area (when trash is thrown over) and because of existing width constraints, the area between the building and property line is comprised of a mix of weeds and sod. Along this boundary, 7 trees and a continuous hedge are required. Because of the distance between the building and property line and the need to maintain this area on a regular basis, sod is kept between the building and property line, but additional landscaping has been planted to the southeast corner of the site. Four Pond Cypress trees, a hibiscus hedge and Fakahatchee grass has been proposed to offset the requirements for the eastside. The Pond Cypress trees have also been upsized from 2 %2" caliper to 4" caliper. To the South, the required 5 foot landscape buffer, three canopy trees and continuous shrubs has been met. This area is very similar to the north with the exception of no building. Existing pavement will be removed to allow more landscaped areas. Three Dahoon Holly trees and hibiscus shrubs will dress up this area. These Dahoon Holly trees have also been upsized from 2 Y2' caliper to a 3" caliper. To the west along Missouri Avenue, the landscape area is comprised of several cabbage palms (some which are scrubs) and a Chinese tallow tree. The landscape area is about 2 - 2.7 feet in width and currently has weeds and bare soil. There are existing overhead lines along the entire buffer. Per code, a 15 foot wide landscape buffer, 6 trees and 100 percent shrubs is required. Due to the constraints of the overhead lines, 5 crape myrtle trees, a continuous hibiscus hedge and Indian hawthorn has been proposed. Two of the cabbage palms are to remain and one proposed cabbage palm is to be installed along side of them so they will count as one additional tree. The Indian hawthorns have been placed where the landscape area is within the visibility triangle. The crapes are multi-stemmed which will provide for a fuller canopy than the standard variety. Since there is no landscape area from the parking lot to the sidewalk leading to the entrance of the building, the applicant has added planters/pots along 9 parking spaces adjacent to the walkway to help meet the foundation requirements. Code requires a minimum 5 foot area with 10 accent trees or 15 palms, 50 shrubs and the remaining area groundcover. Each pot contains an Italian cypress and four blueberry flax lily plants. This will soften the area between the parking and walkway as well as provide a vertical feature along the front of the building. On the southwest corner of the building, a portion of the existing sidewalk has been removed and landscaping installed between the parking lot and the face of the building. This area includes one cabbage palm and Indian hawthorn plants. In regards to the interior landscaping requirements, 10 percent of the vehicular use area is to be landscaped. Currently, the plan shows 4.2 percent. Because of site constraints and the need for a certain amount of parking, two islands on either side of the exit driveway and additional landscaping along the southside of the dumpster area has been included. These areas include both a crape myrtle or Dahoon holly tree and Indian hawthorn shrubs. Any areas that could be landscaped have been included. The two existing islands house cabbage palms, a few plants and weeds. These will be removed to provide more efficient parking for this tight site. The proposed plantings on this site will provide a more aesthetically pleasing corridor with blooms from the crape myrtle trees, hibiscus and Indian hawthorn that will definitely draw attention from those traveling along Missouri. All beds will be mulch which will provide the finishing touches to the landscaping. 2. Continuation: to others enhancing theirs as well. The applicant just wants to do the right thing as long as it is within reason. The landscape improvements do not end just along Missouri... planters along the front of the building dress up the building entry. These planters create interest and color in a rhythmic pattern. Shade trees are located on the North, East and South side of the property to provide climate relief for the users and improving urban microclimate.

Currently the site is 85.7% impervious surface. The redevelopment includes the removal of sidewalk on the southeast side of the building, removal of a tree island, and creation of landscape islands near the north driveway to replace existing parking spaces. Upon completion the site would be 83.7% impervious surface, well below the 90% maximum allowed. The reduced impervious surface will improve drainage characteristics of the site. Per BPRC meeting findings a stormwater plan is not required because the plans to not substantially change the impervious surface. The existing pond will be used for stormwater runoff.

PARKING REDUCTION STUDY FOR 1383 -1395 SOUTH MISSOURI AVENUE CLEARWATER, FLORIDA PREPARED FOR: CHASE CENTRAL CONSTRUCTION PREPARED BY: GULF COAST CONSULTING, INC. REVISED AUGUST 2010 PROJECT # 10-013 ?1'12 Robert Pergoli i, CP, PTP AICP #9023, PTP #133 I. INTRODUCTION The applicant proposes to redevelop the parking area and obtain development approval to include a retail sales store and an auto service facility within vacant portions of the building, located on the east side of S. Missouri Avenue. Currently the site contains one office tenant (National Publishers Marketing Center) which is a telemarketing office. (See Figure 1) The 0.62 acre site has a parking lot with several spaces that are non-functioning and the landscaping on the site is minimal. The property currently has 32 parking spaces which are poorly marked, no landscaping islands and a 2-foot landscape buffer along Missouri Avenue. . The Property is the subject of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment in the Commercial "C" zoning district which requests a reduction in required parking, to accommodate the proposed 2,004 square feet of retail space, 2,995 square feet of a light auto service establishment, and 521 square feet of office space along with the existing 3,994 square feet of existing occupied office space. This request requires an assessment of the parking characteristics of the site. Based on City of Clearwater requirements, on-site parking should include 4-5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of retail space, 3-4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of office space, and 4-5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of limited vehicle service space. This would result in a code requirement of 34-43 total parking spaces. Per Section 3-1405 "Shared Parking" of the Community Development Code the peak shared parking requirement is 28-36 spaces between 9 AM - 4 PM on weekdays as shown below in Table 1.

EXISTING CONDITIONS The City of Clearwater has requested a detailed analysis estimating the number of parking spaces actually needed to service the proposed redevelopment based on site specific operations. Based on observations, the existing National Publishers Marketing Center has normal business hours of 10 AM- 6 PM Monday through Friday and employs a total of 30 workers. Approximately 3,994 square feet of office space is occupied. N NO: 3 I PROJECT LOCATION - 1393 S. Missouri Ave 1 10_0CT13 10- Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc. DATE: Land Development Consulting 052010 DRAWN BY: G.J.S. FIGURE: 1 Existing parking characteristics were established by conducting hourly parking observations between 8 AM - 8 PM on Tuesday May 18, 2010. The results of these observations are shown in Table 2. At the time the observations were conducted, only 3,994 square feet of office space was occupied by the tenant mentioned above. It was reported that 8-10 employees walk, 8-10 employees take the bus to the site, or taxi-cab to work, and two employees carpool. PSTA Route #18 runs along Missouri Avenue with a bus stop directly in front of the site. PSTA Route #18 runs Monday-Friday 5:45 AM - 10:40 PM, Saturdays 5:40 AM - 9:55 PM,.and Sundays 8:40 AM - 6:40 PM. This bus service has an effect on existing parking and may have an effect on future parking demand. In addition, aerial photograph documentation from 2008 shows 17 vehicles parked on-site when the property was more fully occupied with other businesses. As shown in Table 2, peak parking demand occurred at 12 noon and 2 PM when the parking lot had eight (8) occupied spaces (25% occupied). Parking demand is relatively low. Given the occupancy of the center (3,994 sf), the actual parking ratio is two (2) spaces per 1,000 occupied square feet. III. COMPARISON OF FUTURE SUPPLY AND DEMAND The proposed tenant mix for the property at full occupancy is 3,994 square feet of existing office space, 2,004 square feet of retail space, and 2,995 square feet of auto service space, and 521 square feet of office space at the south end of the property. The limited vehicle service space is proposed to be a "Green Lube" environmentally friendly oil change establishment servicing customers in 30- minutes or less. The applicant proposes 22 parking spaces with one-way circulation and access from Missouri Avenue. Given the actual parking usage for existing office space, the existing office parking demand is reduced to one (1) to eight (8) spaces, and the code required shared parking for the proposed retail store, limited vehicle service space, and proposed office space would be 16-20 spaces combined during the average weekday. As such the total realistic parking demand would be reduced to 17 to 28 spaces for the entire site. It should be mentioned that "Limited Vehicle Service" service in the "C" zone requires 4-5 spaces per 1,000 square feet, yet "Vehicle Service" in the "IRT" zone has a parking requirement of only 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Given the nature of the Green Lube service, it is reasonable to conclude the customers would drive their vehicle to the property for service, be checked-in, and the vehicle would be serviced in the repair bay while the customer waited, thereby not occupying a parking space. 2 TABLE 2 1383 -1395 S.

CONCLUSION This analysis was conducted based upon actual observations of the existing office space and code required parking of retail /limited vehicle services space. The recommended parking supply for the redevelopment is 17-28 parking spaces and has assumed full code required parking for the retail limited vehicle services space and the additional office space at the south end of the building. The parking lot redevelopment proposes 22 parking spaces and makes improvements to the appearance and safety of the parking lot by adding landscaping and eliminating spaces within sight triangles. It also provides for more uniformity of traffic flow. The type of.business presently occupying space and future businesses are not expected to be heavy parking generators, therefore the parking demand can be reduced as compared to the shared parking table. This analysis demonstrates operations can be accommodated with the proposed 22 on-site parking spaces and justifies a reduction from the code-required 28-36 striped spaces. In addition, given the availability of parking spaces and the limited site area, a loading space cannot be provided on-site. It is assumed a parking space can be used by a delivery vehicle and some deliveries to the retail or auto service establishment would occur after normal business hours of the office. This provides justification for the elimination of a loading space. 3 APPE+ -NDIEKA To view the most current version, visit www.municode.com. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS § 3-1405 Section 3-1405.
