ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 6.3 acres is located on the north side of S. GulfView Boulevard approximately 300 feet west of
Coronado Drive (southwest corner of Pier 60 parking lot). The subject property is currently
developed' with a two-story beach lifeguard station, Pier 60 buildings and parking lot and
Clearwater Beach.
The property adjacent to the north is zoned Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) District and is
developed with Pier 60 buildings and the beach. The property to the south is zoned Open
Space/Recreation (OS/R) District and is developed with the beach. The property to the east is
zoned Tourist (T) District and is developed with a temporary parking lot (approved for a 450-
room hotel under Case No. FLD2008-05013). The property to the west is zoned Preservation (P)
District and is the Gulf of Mexico.
Development Proposal:
The City of Clearwater has proposed to upgrade and remodel the existing two-story Beach
Lifeguard Station by adding new stairs with incidental storage closets on the north and south
sides of the building and a new third floor for a look-out and classes. There presently exists one
internal stairway. To provide access to the second and third floors and meet Building and Fire
Codes, new stairwells are proposed, as they are required on both the north and south sides of the
building. A platform lift will provide handicap accessibility between the floors in the south
stairwell. The first floor is currently, and will remain, storage for wave runners, surf boards and
lifeguard equipment, but the access to these storage areas will be reoriented toward the west and
BeachWalk. The second floor will be remodeled to upgrade restrooms, showers,, kitchen, storage
and lockers. The third floor addition is stepped back from the east and west sides of the
building's fagade. The exterior of this building will be upgraded to a stucco finish with a primary
color of "lightweight beige" and an accent color of "sandbank" and a metal tile roof.
Through the review of a Building Permit BCP2010-07481 for the remodeling of this building it
was discovered that this building is located 2.1 feet east of the Coastal Construction Control Line
(CCCL). Pursuant to the Community Development Code (CDC) Table 2-1402, the rear setback
in the Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) District for Parks and Recreation Facilities is 25 feet.
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-905, the measurement of required setbacks must be from the CCCL
and any reductions to setbacks from the CCCL must be decided through a Level Two application
by the Community Development Board (CDB). The existing building is deemed nonconforming
to the required rear setback. CDC Section 6-102.1) requires additions to nonconforming
structures to meet the required setbacks. This proposal includes a 2.1-foot rear setback to the
CCCL. This building has existed at this location for some time and is well situated for beach
lifeguards and their functions. Relocating these functions to a different location on the beach is
not feasible or prudent from a life safety standpoint for beach users. The building remodeling will
allow safety personnel much needed field of vision for monitoring safety on the beach. This
redevelopment proposal is impracticable without the requested deviation to this required rear
setback standard in the OS/R District. This building is presently located adjacent to the Pier 60
parking lot access. There will be no additional parking required for this building remodeling, as
existing parking is adequate. Existing landscaping of palms and shrubs will be removed from the
Community Development Board - October 19, 2010
FLD2010-09028 - Page 2 of 6
west side of this building to accommodate the reorientation of the storage areas on the ground
floor toward BeachWalk. The proposed additions will not impact the public restrooms directly
north of this building. The proposal complies with Beach by Design guidelines.
Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-1402, the minimum rear required setback as a
Minimum Standard Development for a Parks and Recreation Facilities use is 25 feet. The
existing structure does not meet this required setback, as it is located only 2.1 feet from the
CCCL. A Parks and Recreation Facilities use is not listed in CDC Table 2-1403 (Flexible
Standard Development [FLS]) or CDC Table 2-1404 (Flexible Development [FLD]). Therefore,
any reduction to the required rear setback for a Parks and Recreation Facilities use must be
processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project (the only use set out under CDC
Table 2-1404, and where there are no minimum required setbacks). The proposal requests a rear
(west) setback of 2.1 feet (to building). This Beach Lifeguard Station is part of the Pier 60
complex, including the parking lot, and is adjacent to BeachWalk. This building is in direct view
of the public from S. Gulfview Blvd. and Coronado Drive.
Maximum Building Hei t: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-1004, there is no maximum height for a
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, the
maximum height for Parks and Recreation Facilities under CDC Table 2-1402 is 30 feet. The
proposal includes a building height of 22.25 feet (from Base Flood Elevation [BFE] to midpoint
of the pitched roof), well below the allowed building height.
Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment
must be screened so as not to be visible from public streets and/or abutting, properties. Based on
the plans submitted under Building Permit BCP2010-07481, mechanical equipment will be
placed on a second floor balcony on the east side of the southern stairwell addition. There will be
railings with maintenance gates along the edge of this balcony for screening purposes.
Utilities: The utilities for this building are presently located underground. The proposal includes
the relocation of the electrical equipment from the east to south side of the building. This
electrical equipment will need to be painted the same color as the wall it is attached to.
Landscaping-: There presently exist shrubs and five cabbage palms located within a semi-circle
landscape area on the west side of the building. This existing landscaping will be relocated by
the City to other areas of the beach to accommodate the reorientation of the storage areas on the
ground floor toward BeachWalk.
Signage: There presently is no signage for this Beach Lifeguard Station. The proposal includes
an attached sign on the east side of the second floor of the building, which will provide
information to the general public about the use of this building.
Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no active Code Compliance cases for the subject
property.

The proposed remodel is permitted in the zoning designation as a minimum standard, the lifeguards provide a sense of physical/mental
Safety and users of the beach in turn provide economic development to the surrounding area. The renovations will also provide
a waterfront use.
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 and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properties for uses
permitted in this zoning district;
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the City;
c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character of an area;
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, etc.;
? Variety in materials, colors and textures;
? Distinctive fenestration patterns;
? Building stepbacks; and
? Distinctive roofs forms.
e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design and appropriate distances between buildings.

Beach Lifeguard Station Remodel
Written Submittal Requirements:
Response to # 6:
The existing building is actually in the right of way of Gulfview Blvd. and was built 1995 and met all requirements
regards to the Coastal Construction Control Line at that point in time. This control line was relocated about 5 years
ago and the existing facility now does not meet the 25' set back requirement. We are requesting the facility to be
granted construction within 2.1 feet of this control line. The building houses the lifeguards for life/safety issues for
beach uses along the of the Gulf waters along Clearwater Beach.
The remodeled facility will have a third floor added to the existing facility to provide an observation deck for the
lifeguards allowing for much needed field of vision of beaches for monitoring safety To meet current development
codes, two stair towers were added for safety personnel ingress/egress to the lifeguard station for their personal
safety. The towers also eliminate the boxy visual aspect of the existing facility which is not in character of the
surrounding neighborhood. The limited interior space required the stairwells to be built outside the existing foot
print of the existing facility as well meet ADA requirements.
The main structure structurally will remain and the existing fagade and roof will be removed. The new lines of the
facility, the exterior finishes and the architectural features will enhance the surrounding neighborhood. The roof
will be a metal barrel tile and color will be a soft earth tone which is consistent with the other new resort building in
the vicinity of the beach lifeguard station. The handrail balconies are an added touch which make the building
appear residential and not a utilitarian public building. Paint colors, stucco texture accent reliefs, contraction joints
and window arches provide that added touch of Mediterranean flavor style architecture which is the intent of the
guidelines of `Beach by Design'. The remodeled facility nestles into the promenade of beach walk and compliments
the skyline of Clearwater Beach. It is also compatible, in character with its surroundings and consistent with the
comprehensive zoning district. The remodel facility will not impact vehicular traffic on Gulfview Blvd. nor will
create additional trip generations. The horizontal of the roof on the second and top level provide unique building
lines and provide a forces perspective step back affect.

BEACH LIFEGUARD STATION REMODEL
The current life guard building on Clearwater Beach is in need of major renovations. The current 2 story
building was constructed over 15 years ago with only removal of drive up canopy and minor exterior
renovations occurring when Beach by Design was completed.
This beach lifeguard facility is centrally located on the beach and is critical to the water life safety needs
for Clearwater Beach. This is the last facility on Clearwater Beach that does not complement the new
resorts and or the "Beach by Design Concepts". The proposed renovations will make it more esthetically
pleasing and enhance the surround neighborhood with its new fenestration patterns and in line with the
resorts and of the Clearwater Beach by Design. The remodel will also preserve the working waterfront
use as well provide a sense of physical/mental safety to the beach users and continue to provide
significant economic contributor to the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy or by
creating jobs.
More importantly renovations are needed to upgrade the building for the employees that work out of
this building and for the storage of life saving equipment. A new 3rd story observation level has been
added to the building for additional beach safety. Currently there are insufficient showers, lockers,
restrooms and storage areas for those working out of this building.
Any other location on Clearwater Beach would present additional issues in regard to zoning, setbacks
and environmental concerns not the least it would need to be constructed further away from the beach
and the public it is trying to serve.
