Final Agenda Item #
Meeting Date: 3/20/2008
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE Amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan related to the Coastal High Hazard Area
provisions of the Coastal Management Element and PASS Ordinance No. 7917-08 on first reading.
? and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same.
SUMMARY:
The proposed text amendments to the Coastal Management Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan were
necessitated by the passage of HB 1359 (Chapter 20:6 -68, Laws of Florida), which made a number of changes
to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and to 9J-5.012 F.A.C. This law requires a change in the definition of Coastal
High Hazard Area as well as adoption of a Level of Service (LOS) for evacuation clearance times for a Category
5 storm event. In addition to these requirements, the Planning Department is also recommending the adoption
of a "Coastal Storm Area"(CSA). The CSA includes, in addition to the CHHA, those areas that are not in the
CHHA, but can be reached or evacuated only by going through a CHHA, as well as areas where high
concentrations of development and population are not appropriate due to safety concerns. The CSA recognizes
the unique circumstances existing in the coastal areas of Pinellas County, and ensures proper evacuation. The
CSA is a larger area than the CHHA, but to be concurrent with the County Comprehensive Plan, consistent with
the Countywide Rules and for safety concerns, the "Coastal Storm Area" terminology is recommended.
The Planning Department and Emergency Management staff are recommending language that would prohibit the
siting of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the CSA. Since the City must follow County
Emergency Management directives, these text amendments are intended to be consistent with language in the
Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan. The recommended amendments were developed in consultation with the
Clearwater Citizen's Advisory Committee, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Commission, Pinellas County and
Pinellas Planning Council.
The Planning Department has determined that the proposed text amendments are consistent with other provisions
of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, will not adversely impact the use of property, will adversely affect
neither the natural environment nor public facilities. Please refer to the attached report (CPA2007-06004) for
the complete staff analysis.

The Coii'?vlz,llit3,beN?elopment Boar*iewed these amendments at its publieoring on February 19, 2008 and
manimou . recommended approval, with the following condition: "that a specific time to implement the 36
h?ur LO. is identified prior to implementation of this amendment." Since the time of that public hearing,
Planning Staff has been in contact with Pinellas County Planning Staff. Pinellas County Planning Staff has now
been informed by the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that DCA is going to raise objections on
every community across the state that does not adopt, at a minimum, a 16 hour Evacuation LOS, and have, in
fact, already objected to St. Petersburg's adoption of an LOS of 36 hours. County Planning Staff indicated that
in view of their conversation with DCA, that the County is in the process of amending their Evacuation LOS to
16 hours. City Planning staff has not recommended a specific time to implement an Evacuation LOS due to the
fact that numerical estimates for achieving an Evacuation LOS of 16 hours have not yet been developed,
although discussions with staff from various agencies have an estimated range from 50-100 years.
Because this is a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, review and approval by the Florida Department of
Cor_-munity Affairs is required.

CITY OF CLEARWATER
PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
REQUEST: Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Text Amendments to the
Coastal Management Element - -
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater Planning Department
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
HB1359 (Chapter 2006 -68, Laws of Florida) made a number of changes to Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes and to 9J-5.012 F.A.C. regarding the required Coastal Management
Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The law requires a change in the definition of
Coastal High Hazard Area as well as adoption of a Level of Service (LOS) for evacuation
clearance times for a Category 5 storm event. These changes must be adopted by
July 1, 2008. In addition to these requirements, the Planning Department is also
recommending the adoption of a "Coastal Storm Area"(CSA). This recommendation is
based upon objectives and policies developed in consultation with the Citizen's Advisory
Committee, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Commission, Pinellas County and Pinellas
Planning Council. The Planning Department is also recommending language
recommended by Emergency Management regarding siting of hospitals, nursing homes
and assisted living facilities. The proposed amendments were presented to the Citizen's
Advisory Committee (CAC) on February 6, 2008. CAC meeting notes are attached.
ANALYSIS:
A total of five amendments are proposed to the text of the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan in Ordinance No. 7917-08. This text amendment is considered a large scale plan
amendment and requires review and approval by the Florida Department of Community
Affairs.
Please find a summary of each amendment below.
1. Amendment 1 - Amend Objective 22.2 of Goal 22 (see page 1 of Exhibit A):
This amendment ensures compliance with HB 1359 by amending the definition of
SAPlanning Department\COMPREHENSIVE PLAN\2007 Comp Plan Amendments\CPA2007-

Coastal High Hazard Area to "the Sea,Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes
(SLOSH) model to be inundated from a category one hurricane, as reflected in the
most recent Regional Evacuation Study, Storm Tide Atlas." In addition, the Planning
Department is also recommending the adoption of a "Coastal Storm Area"(CSA).
This recommendation is based upon consultation with Tampa Bay Regional Planning
Commission (TBRPC), Pinellas Planning Council (PPC) and Pinellas County
Planning Department. Due to the unique circumstances existing in the coastal areas of
Pinellas County, the term "Coastal Storm Area" is important because it makes
evacuation from the Coastal High Hazard Area possible. The Coastal Storm Area
includes, in addition to the CHHA, those areas that are not in the CHHA, but can only
be reached or evacuated by going through a CHHA, as well as areas where high
concentrations of development and population are not appropriate due to safety
concerns. f.- -The Coastal Storm Area is a larger area than the CHHA; but to be
concurrent with the County Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Countywide
Rules and for safety concerns the "Coastal Storm Area" terminology is
recommended.
2. Amendment 2 - Add new Policy 22.2.1 of Goal 22 (see page 1 of Exhibit A)•
This addition provides guidance as to how land development would be handled on
parcels of land that are split by the coastal storm area boundary. This policy is
comparable to the approach taken by Pinellas County Emergency Management in
identifying hurricane evacuation levels and is concurrent with language found in the
Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan. It also takes into consideration the unique
bluff arda. Along the bluffs there are a number of parcels, that although more than
20% of a parcel may be in the coastal storm area, the property quickly rises so that the
remainder of the parcel is not impacted by storm surge from any hurricane regardless
of its magnitude. While only a few parcels are affected, it makes sense to not include
the portion of a parcel on the top of the bluff in the coastal storm area if it would not
be inundated by storm surge under any storm scenario.
3. Amendment 3 - Amend Policy 22.2.1 and remove Policy 22 2 2 (see page 2 of
Exhibit A):
This amendment renumbers former 22.2.1 to 22.2.2 due to the addition of a new
policy 22.2.1 above. It also changes FEMA to the correct acronym. Former 22.2.2 is
deleted because it is no longer necessary because of the new definition included in
Objective 22.2 above.
4. Amendment 4 - Add Policy 22.2.6 (see page 2 of Exhibit AZ
This amendment prohibits the location of new, or expansion of existing hospitals,
nursing homes, and assisted living facilities within the coastal storm area and the area
inundated by a category 3 hurricane as depicted by the SLOSH model, as reflected in
the most recent Regional Evacuation Study, Storm Tide Atlas The policy direction of
this amendment is consistent with the evacuation and emergency management

planning direction of Pinellas County, is concurrent with language in the County
Comprehensive Plan, and is recommended by Clearwater Emergency Management
Director, Robert Dube.
5. Amendment 5 - Add Policies 24.3.8 and 24.3.9 (see page 3 of Exhibit A):
Policy 24.3.8 states that the City shall cooperate with Pinellas County Emergency
Management toward reducing the out-of-county hurricane evacuation clearance time
of 55 hours, recognizes the best available data regarding evacuation clearance times,
and notes that evacuation times as provided in the Regional Study findings are not an
acceptable level of service.
Policy 24.3.9 adopts a Level of Service (LOS) for evacuation in order to implement
HB 1359. It is felt by emergency management staff that 36 hours represents a point
at which a confident warning could be issued by the National Hurricane Center and a
reasonable public response could be expected. It is not anticipated that any evacuation
orders would be issued earlier than 36 hours due to the uncertainty of predicting
accurate tracks of hurricanes at timeframes exceeding 36 hours. This policy
recognizes the City and County commitment to improving the standard of service.
This LOS standard has been recommended by emergency management officials at the
Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, Pinellas County, and the City of Clearwater.
It is critical that an LOS be established because HB 1359 has a "default" clause
that stipulates clearance time of 12 hours unless another LOS is adopted. A 12 hour
LOS is impossible in Pinellas County, so emergency management officials have
recommended 36 hours.
STANDARDS FOR REVIEW
Pursuant to Community Development Code Section 4-603(F) no amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan shall be approved unless it complies with the following standards:
1. The amendment will further implementation of the Comprehensive Plan
consistent with the goals, policies and objectives contained in the plan.
The proposed amendments to the Coastal Management Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan further refine the City's existing policies and objectives. The
proposed amendments are consistent with the existing goals, policies and objectives
contained in the plan and actually expand the city's long range planning policies
related to the maintenance and preservation of coastal areas in the City in general.
2. The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan and expand the City's ability to maintain and protect coastal areas.

3. The available uses if applicable to which the property maybe put are appropriate
to the property in questions and compatible with existing and planned uses in the
area.
The proposed amendments are text amendments that are not directly related to a
specific property.
4. Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
The proposed amendments are text amendments that are not directly related to a
specific property.
5. The amendment will not adversely affect the natural environment
The proposed amendments seek to preserve, maintain and enhance the natural
environment by providing good coastal management policies.
6. The amendment will not adversely impact the use of property in the immediate
area.
The proposed amendments are text amendments that are not directly related to a
specific property.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan make the plan
compliant with state statutes. These amendments also consider safety issues and make
Clearwater Emergency Management policies more consistent with the direction taken by
Pinellas County Emergency Management.
The Planning Department Staff recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 7917-08
that amends the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.

February 6, 2008
Topics: CHHA and Hierarchy of Places
In attendance:
CAC Members: Frank Dame, Ronald J. Delp, Duke Tieman, Gloria Bailey, Norma
Carlough, Elizabeth France, Bill Murray, Helen Kerwin, Alex Plisko, Jr., Laura St. Clair,
and Glenn Bailey.
Planning Department: Director Michael Delk, Catherine Porter, Priyanka Thatte, Sandra
Herman, and Steven Everitt.
1. OVERVIEW
Catherine Porter opened the meeting and introduced Long Range Staff. Catherine
explained that the committee was meeting on this date: (1) to discuss and recommend on
the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, (2) for a
presentation by Priyanka Thatte, the Planning Department's Urban Designer on
Hierarchy of Places, and (3) to hear how the department is getting ready to go forward
with the next issues to be discussed.
II. COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT
Catherine Porter said the Coastal High Hazard Area(CHHA) changes are a part of the
Coastal Management Element. Cathy explained how we have to meet these new
requirements for the CHHA as per state legislation and that the amendments for the
CHHA are to be reviewed by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
Amendments to the Coastal Management Element as per the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report (EAR), including those that address the EAR Issues of Local Concern that were
already reviewed by the CAC in 2007, are being handled separately. She said the staff
report shows the actual things to be discussed today. The other materials are background
materials. The State Legislature's House Bill HB 1359 required a new Coastal High
Hazard Area definition to be incorporated into the comprehensive plan. City Planning
staff has been working with Pinellas County, Pinellas Planning Council, and the Tampa
Bay Regional Planning Council on consistent definitions. She went over the map that has
been developed in consultation with these groups. The CHHA is green on the map as
defined by statute and is also known as "Category 1 Storm Surge" as defined by the
SLOSH Model. Catherine said that the County had produced the map. She then said that
when they had looked at the map they realized that there are certain areas that are out of
the CHHA, but that the occupants of these areas would have to pass through CHHA areas
to get to safety, so they came up with a new definition that includes these areas and is
called the "Coastal Storm Area". The Coastal Storm Area also includes the flood zone by
s a
FEMA - this is a FEMA velocity zone in addition to the State, County and City of
Clearwater's designations. Clearwater and Belleair Bluffs have another anomaly - the
pink area on the map is the bluff. This map will be incorporated into the Comprehensive
Plan.
Frank Dame asked about the pink area - he said you don't have to go through this area to
get to high ground. Catherine explained that the pink area is high ground and almost an
"ownership" situation in that a portion of the parcel is in the Coastal Storm Area and the
pink portion is not. Ron Delp asked about how the height in feet that applies - Cathy the
storm surge used in the FEMA definition is about 12 feet.
Catherine said that because of the HB1359 requiring the new definition for the CHHA,
the group including the Emergency Management staff came up with "Coastal Storm
Area" as the final term. This is all consistent with the City and County Emergency
Management and others involved. Ron Delp asked about the definition of "permanent"
residents and Catherine said they are all residents except those in overnight
accommodations. The definition of overnight accommodations is in the Community
Development Code (CDC). Mr. Dame said he was also a bit confused about this.
Catherine said the existing policy in the Comprehensive Plan has this language except for
the addition of the word "permanent" , which was endorsed at the last CAC meeting.
Catherine went over the questions raised on Policy 22.2.1. Laura St. Clair said: If my
parcel is outside of those areas, why couldn't I use it? Catherine said: we don't want to
give preferential treatment and it has to do with evacuating the people in it. Cathy: It is a
safety issue - has to do with what is surrounding the property area and if one would have
to get out of it by going through a CHHA. Laura said she wouldn't want someone to be
unjustly penalized for being near a CHHA while this person's property is actually outside
of the CHHA. Ron Delp agreed with Laura on this issue. Catherine said she would study
these questions further and get back with them on this. PLEASE NOTE COMMENTS
REGARDING THIS ISSUE, LOCATED AT END OF THE MEETING NOTES.
Cathy said the old 22.2.2 was deleted because of new definition as per HB1359. She said
Emergency Management and both the County and the City are recommending 22.2.6 (no
new hospitals, assisted living facilities or the like in coastal areas). She said they just
don't want them to plan to expand these type facilities in CHHA. Policy 24.3.8 is also
required by HB1359. Policy 24.3.9 is related to the latter policy and this is because the
City is required to develop a Level of Service (LOS) evacuation time (also HB1359).
The goal is a LOS of 36. Dame asked about this timing. Catherine said that 36 hours is
going to be discussed further with the State because the State at first had said they would
go along with 36 hours, but has now informed the County that they want all
municipalities to be at 12 hours. Catherine pointed out a here was a "Typo" in the
renumbered Objective 1.2 and Policy 1.2.1 The correct numbering should be Objective
24.4 and Policy 24.4.2.
Mr. Dame said he is going to endorse it (the 36 hour LOS) but set a specific time in the
goal to when we will achieve the goal. Encourage it while emergency managers have the
0- 6
final word (as per Catherine). Within 2 years would be recommended as per Dame or
whatever time frame is going to work. Catherine said again that this is a Tampa Bay area
initiative. Delp asked what is involved going to 36 hours? Catherine said right now 55
hours is the reality. What needs to take place? The limitation for going to 55 to 36 is
physical - shelters (beds), basically, said Catherine. Dame made the motion and Delp
seconded it for CAC to endorse the proposal subject to looking at 22.2.1 more closely.
III. ISSUE OF LOCAL CONCERN: Community Character and Livable
Neighborhoods
Presentation by Priyanka Thatte, Urban Designer
Ms. Thatte explained that she was presenting the map for the Overall Design Structure
for the City. She read the goals of the issue. She said that she would first explain
everything and then take questions. She said there are two main categories: hierarchy of
places and linkages. This overall structure will give a direction on the city's development
and redevelopment strategies to improve the feel of the visual environment of the city for
residents and visitors. Thatte displayed the map on the screen and went over the list of
features and activity centers. She read features from the list, gave definitions and photos
were shown for examples of each type at different locations on the map. She went over
the gateways and linkages on the map with examples of each. She said consistency is
needed for the signs that indicate the entrances to the city. Corridors were mentioned and
she said that we are still reviewing the corridors for recommendations on them to be
discussed later. She said the corridors were broken down into preservation and
redevelopment corridors. She read from the bottom of the list the additional suggestions
from the CAC members including the Sunset Sam Park in Island Estates and St.
Brendan's Church.
As per neighborhood shopping centers - Ms. France said Drew Street is just waiting for
someone to give identity to that corridor east of Duncan to the Skycrest Church. She said
to give identity by putting up banners, etc. for someone driving through there to see that it
is and not miss it. Michael Delk said that it is an ethnically diverse area and a nice
character to it to build around it. France: Also, add some landscaping to it so that drivers
will not miss it. Maintain the beautiful canopy along Cleveland that is well known -
maintain and maybe improve it. She said Skycrest (neighborhood) is a corridor to the
downtown and because it is old with character it can be an asset to the downtown.
Walking and biking is great there. The canopy of oaks is beautiful. All the beautiful
neighborhoods that frame the downtown are important.
Ms. France said she had previously emailed more comments to Planning that she would
like added to the record (these comments were inadvertently left out of the report - please
see below following the meeting notes for Ms. France's comments to be included in the
discussion at the next CAC meeting).
Gloria Bailey asked about the Hercules corridor from Drew to Sunset Point - she asked if
redevelopment of this area was going to occur north of Sunset Point Road. Delk said that
there is no widening of that road proposed that this is more to concentrate . on
consideration of options for workforce housing, etc. that might. be considered here.
Delp asked who will be responsible for funding of redevelopment or enhancements or
improvements. Will it be publicly or privately funded? He said to put a price tag on this
stuff to see how it will be funded. Delk stressed that the redevelopment strategy for the
city was an EAR issue - some corridors are underutilized and noted, workforce housing
is needed, we are just looking at the process to determine where the areas are and then it
would be creating an environment for the private sector to re-invest into certain areas of
the city. Dame said this would probably involve rezoning, etc.
Delk: None of this is a capital improvement - it is a general part of a comp plan. Delk
said we are identifying a system of plans to be developed. Porter said that we are
creating an environment not spending city funds to do it.
Delp said we should be concentrating on creating jobs, how to generate revenues, etc. for
an area.
Delk: This is a follow-up of the EAR pertaining to redevelopment - the charge will be to
address those areas and put it in as public policy in the comp plan. Our charge is to
address the 5 Issues of Local Concern from the EAR. Redevelopment is important to
preserve our economic development, for sustainability, as the City is built out. This is an
extremely important issue. Redevelopment and how we handle it in the future is the most
important thing we can do for the City in the future.
Mr. Plisko: Since Myrtle Avenue is now Alt 19, why isn't it considered a primary
corridor? Porter responded that there is a list of corridors in the Community
Development Code (CDC) that needs to be updated (note: Alt 19 was moved from Ft.
Harrison to Myrtle Avenue). Porter said that Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOP's)
related to the corridors and redevelopment will be brought back to the CAC. We'll
include review of these from time to time and adjustments will be made (to the CDC).
Redefining this section and description in 3-1203 are going to be revamped. We'll bring
back a policy on it (updated). Plisko asked to consider Drew Street as a primary on the
list.
The Redevelopment Structure is to be used to build up our redevelopment and
community character structure.
Ms. Carlough asked about Marianne Street - Steven Everitt said it is no longer an
existing street.
Delk: Here are the things we need to consider: Look closely at corridors to redevelop;
look at what opportunities are there for mixed use urban infill; and meet affordable
housing needs and mixed use opportunities for economic development. Further, he said
to look at: existing infrastructure; access to transit lines; and possible areas for
s •
development of workforce and affordable housing plans - marry them together,
hopefully, to take advantage of providing a means for reinvestment in the City.
Mr. Day: Light rail mass transit should be considered.
Delk: One million to one and one-half million people may move into Tampa Bay Area by
2030. Clearwater may get some of these. Transit is an important factor.
Carlough: The CSX train line is also important.
Delk said the county is considering BRT. Carlough said it must be light rail, though,
because BRT is still putting traffic on the roads.
Carlough: Royalty Theatre should be on the historic list. She commented that it is sad
that Clearwater has such few historic places. Porter said that not all historic places are
included in the list, only those that meet the definitions on the hierarchy, such as
landmarks.
Delk: Iconic neighborhood features like the small cemetery on Hercules should be
included.
Carlough asked about the group doing a survey on the history of Clearwater. Porter said
there is a State Historic Society that did a historical survey of Clearwater some time ago.
There are books on this survey in the Planning Library. One person involved in historic
preservation in Clearwater is Mike Sanders. Other historic cemeteries mentioned were:
the City's cemetery at Lakeview and Myrtle, McMullen Cemetery on NE Coachman
Road.
IV. SUMMARY
We will be using the design structure to work on specific goals, objectives and policies
for Housing, Community Character and Redevelopment Issues. Then we will get
together for a series of meetings.
COMMENTS REGARDING POLICY 22.2.1
After further review, the staff said that the genesis of this policy is to give property
owners the ability to compensate for the margin of error of 20% that is inherent in the
method of mapping the CHHA. The threshold of 5 acres was chosen because both City
and County policies support land assembly into larger parcels. As a practical matter, it is
unlikely that the five-acre threshold will be an issue. When this information was shared
with Laura St. Clair, she said that philosophically, she is of the opinion that the size
limitation could be a detriment to a developer and she would like to see no size
limitation. She also believes that it could be circumvented by dividing the parcel into
• i
smaller parcels, if one of them was outside the coastal storm area, yet still large enough to
develop, which would actually work against the assemblage into larger parcels.
The following are excerpts from Ms. France's additional comments from her previous
email to the Planning Department to be included in the next CAC meeting discussion on
Hierarchy of Places:
Under MULTI-NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTERS AND SURROUNDING
NON-RESIDENTIAL USES- "The Drew Street corridor of shops has nice diversity and
uniqueness that should be designated as a shopping area with identity signs. The large
volume of traffic that passes by daily on drew street has no idea that it is missing a jewel.
This area, along with the downtown, could bring shoppers and visitors in from
Countryside and other more remote areas."
In general: "The older homes in Skycrest, especially along Cleveland Street, should be
encouraged, by means of a general variance, to build front porches -within the 25 feet
setback, using, for example 10-12 feet of the setback--to increase the retro aspect of the
neighborhood. Being so close to the downtown, Skycrest can be an asset to it. Little
amenities can give the neighborhood more character and make a big difference."
"The following are amenities or attributes in the "Skycrest" neighborhood (actually
platted as Skycrest AND other names. It covers the area from Highland Avenue to
Belcher Road and from Drew Street to Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. [that] are important to me. I
would like to see them maintained and improved. Crest Lake Park The tree canopy on
Cleveland Street-(this should be maintained and enhanced). The location [is] so close to
the downtown that it can reflect well as an entryway."
"I would like to see some of the undeveloped small enclaves that the City has to mow and
maintain be adopted for gardens of all types by the neighbors. This builds community
spirit as well as helping the City reduce expenses."
Under LINKAGES: GATEWAYS TO THE CITY: "The Downtown Gateways via Cleveland
Street and Gulf-to-Bay are important to the framing of the downtown."
Under CORRIDORS TO PRESERVE (due to Landscaping, Character): "I believe the
Skycrest portion of Cleveland Street ...with its beautiful tree canopy should be preserved,
maintained, and restored where needed."

RE: Review of Amendments to the Coastal Management Element of the
Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance No. 7917-08) for Consistency with the
Countywide Rules
Dear Ms. Clayton:
We are in receipt of a signed copy of the City ordinance referenced above. Pursuant to
Division 3.3 of the Rules Concerning the Administration of the Countywide Future
Land Use Plan (Countywide Rules), Council staff has reviewed the amendments for
consistency with the Countywide Rules as follows:
• The amendments to Objective 22.2 and Policy 22.2.2 of the Coastal
Management Element amend the definition of "Coastal High Hazard Area" in a
manner consistent with the amended definition in the Florida Statutes, but
technically inconsistent with the Countywide Rules; however, the Countywide
Rules are proposed to be amended this year to reflect the recently amended
definition in the Florida Statutes.
• The remaining amendments to the Coastal Management Element are not
governed by the consistency criteria of the Countywide Rules and therefore are
not subject to the consistency provisions.
Thank you for forwarding these amendments to the comprehensive plan for review. If
you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 464-8250.
Sincerely,
Christopher M. Mettler

Amendment 1
TBRPC recommends the following language for clarification:
Policy 22.2(1) The coastal high-hazard area (CHHA) which shall be the area defined by the Sea,
Lake and Overland Surges fi-o»2 Hurricanes (SLOSH) model to be inundated from a category 1
(Maxi.mum of Maximums) hurricane, as reflected in the most recent Regional Evacuation Study,
Stone Tide Atlas.
The City shall direct permanent population concentrations away from known or predicted eeastal
lei the coastal storm area consistent with the ...
Continents:
The city has qualified the limit of population within the coastal storm area to permanent
populations. While it is assumed that visitors will leave area voluntarily prior to a storm, their
safety remains a responsibility of the City.
Staff recommends that an additional policy be put into place which would state:
All development within the Coastal Storm Area must (1) mitigate its impact upon shelter and
evacuation clearance times and (2) insure that adequate planning and resources are in place to
provide for the safety of both residents and visitors.
Amendment 4
Policy 22.2.5
The City prohibits the location of new hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities
within the Coastal Storm Area and the Category 2 storm surge area...
Comments:
This is inconsistent with the SRPP which recommends that critical facilities not be located within
the Hurricane Vulnerability Zone, the area vulnerable to a Category 3 storm surge.
Recommendation:
Replace the reference to the category 2 storm surge area to the category 3 area or Hurricane
Vulnerability Zone.
Please Note:
Policy 24.3.5 LOS for Evacuation clearance time is not correctly addressed in the staff report
(page 3) which references 36 hours.
Policy 22.2.5 is inconsistent with the language in the analysis (staff report, page 2) which

Re: Historic Preservation Review of the Clearwater (08-1ARB) Comprehensive Plan
Amendment
According to this agency's responsibilities under Sections 163.3177 and 163.3178, Florida
Statutes, and Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code, we reviewed the above document to
determine if data regarding historic resources have been given sufficient consideration in the
request to amend the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
We reviewed a proposed text amendment to the Coastal Management Element regarding
Coastal High Hazard Area and Coastal Storm Areas to consider the potential effects of this
action on historic resources. While our cursory review suggests that the proposed changes may
have no adverse effects on historic resources, it is the city's responsibility to ensure that the
proposed revision will not have an adverse effect on significant archaeological or historic
resources in Clearwater.
If you have any questions regarding our comments, please feel free to contact Susan M. Harp of
the Division's Compliance Review staff at (850) 245-6333.

RE: City of Clearwater Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment 08-1ARA (PRD)
Dear Mr. Eubanks
We have completed a preliminary review determination for the City of Clearwater proposed
comprehensive plan Amendment 08-1ARA in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes; Chapter 93-5, Florida Administrative Code; and our Plan review guidelines.
Pursuant to Section 163.32465, Florida Statutes, we are providing comments directly to the City
to fulfill our responsibility regarding the alternate state review process pilot program.
CPA2007-06004 The City proposes to amend the Coastal Element to revise the definition of the
coastal high hazard area; to add policies addressing the level of service standards for hurricane
evacuation; to clarify the treatment of parcels located partially within the coastal storm area; and
to prohibit new hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities within the coastal storm
area and the area inundated by a category 2 hurricane. We have no comments regarding the
proposed changes.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed amendment.

4/8/08 I called'Beth Moser, 580-4315 cell and 462-7645. She had LM about 20% and I
asked her, and she thought it may refer to all holdings, but I read it to her and of course it
says parcels. Also read the proposed change in 22.2.5 regarding inpatient beds. She said
they are looking at the site that is in the CSA for a possible office building and sleep
center, but that the overnight sleep study is on an outpatient basis and they stay less than
24 hours. She requested that when we have language we want, we should forward to her
so she can show to senior management team.

RE: Review of Proposed Text Amendments to the Coastal Management Element
of the Comprehensive Plan: CPA-2007-06004 (Ordinance No. 7917-08) for
Consistency with the Countywide Rules
Dear Ms. Porter:
We are in receipt of your letter dated January 29, 2008, regarding the proposed
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan referenced above.
Pursuant to Division 3.3 of the Rules Concerning the Administration of the Countywide
Future Land Use Plan (Countywide Rules), Council staff has reviewed the proposed
amendments for consistency with the Countywide Rules as follows:
• The proposed amended definition of "Coastal High Hazard Area" in Objective
22.2 is not technically consistent with the Countywide Rules, however the
Countywide Rules definition will be proposed to be amended to be consistent with
the state legislation.
• Proposed Policy 22.2.6, prohibiting, the location of new, or expansion of existing
hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities within the coastal storm area
and the area inundated by a category 3 hurricane as depicted by the SLOSH model
is more restrictive than Countywide Rules Section 4.2.7.4.2, and therefore is
consistent with Section 4.2.7.4.3.
• The other proposed changes to the Coastal Management Element, including the
definition of "coastal storm area" and the policies addressing hurricane evacuation
clearance times, are not governed by the consistency criteria of the Rules and
therefore are not subject to the consistency provisions.

t' 7:4- Approve Amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan related to the Coastal
High Hazard Area provisions of the Coastal Management Element and Pass Ordinance 7917-08
on first reading.
The proposed text amendments to the Coastal Management Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan are necessitated by the passage of HB1359 (Chapter 2006 -68, Laws of
Florida), which made a number of changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and to 9J-5.012
F.A.C. This law requires a change in the definition of Coastal High Hazard Area as well as
adoption of a Level of Service (LOS) for evacuation clearance times for a Category 5 storm
event. In addition to these requirements, the Planning Department is also recommending the
adoption of a Coastal Storm Area (CSA). The CSA includes, in addition to the CHHA, those
areas that are not in the CHHA, but can be reached or evacuated only by going through a
CHHA, as well as areas where high concentrations of development and population are not
appropriate due to safety concerns. The CSA recognizes the unique circumstances existing in
the coastal areas of Pinellas County, and ensures proper evacuation. The CSA is a larger area
than the CHHA, but to be concurrent with the County Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the
Countywide Rules and for safety concerns, the CSA terminology is recommended.
The Planning Department and Emergency Management staff are recommending
language that would prohibit the siting of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities
in the CSA. Since the City must follow County Emergency Management directives, these text
amendments are intended to be consistent with language in the Pinellas County
Comprehensive Plan. The recommended amendments were developed in consultation with the
Clearwater Citizen's Advisory Committee, Tampa Bay Regional Planning Commission, Pinellas
County and Pinellas Planning Council.
The Planning Department has determined that the proposed text amendments are
consistent with other provisions of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, will not adversely
impact the use of property, will adversely affect neither the natural environment nor public
facilities. Please refer to the report (CPA2007-06004) for the complete staff analysis.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed these amendments at its public
hearing on February 19, 2008, and unanimously recommended approval, with the following
condition: that a specific time to implement the 36 hour LOS is identified prior to implementation
Council 2008-04-17
6
of this amendment. Since the time of that public hearing, Planning Staff has been in contact
with Pinellas County Planning Staff. Pinellas County Planning Staff has now been informed by
the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that DCA is going to raise objections on
every community across the state that does not adopt, at a minimum, a 16-hour Evacuation
LOS, and have, in fact, already objected to St. Petersburg's adoption of an LOS of 36 hours.
County Planning Staff indicated that in view of their conversation with DCA, the County is in the
process of amending their Evacuation LOS to 16 hours. City Planning staff has not
recommended a specific time to implement an Evacuation LOS due to the fact that numerical
estimates for achieving an Evacuation LOS of 16 hours have not yet been developed, although
discussions with staff from various agencies have an estimated range from 50-100 years.
Because this is a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, review and approval by
the Florida Department of Community Affairs is required.
In response to questions, Assistant Planning Director Gina Clayton said DCA originally
approved of the County's 36-hour evacuation timeframe but is now requiring it be 16 hours.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve amendments to the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan related to the Coastal High Hazard Area provisions of the Coastal
Management Element. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 7917-08 was presented for first reading and read by title only.
Councilmember Gibson moved to pass Ordinance 7917-08 on first reading. The motion was
duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
"Ayes": Doran, Petersen, Cretekos, Gibson, and Hibbard.
"Nays": None.
7.5 Approve amendment to the Community Development Code to further the consistency
between the Community Development Code and the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and to
make other minor editorial changes, and Pass Ordinance 7949-08 on first reading.
The Planning Department is recommending an amendment to the Community
Development Code (CDC) to ensure consistency between the CDC and the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment will add the Resort Facilities High (RFH)
Future Land Use Plan category to the list of Countywide Future Land Use Plan Designations
compatible with the Commercial (C) and High Density Residential (HDR) Districts consistent
with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
Ordinance 7949-08 contains information on the proposed amendment.
The CDB reviewed the proposed text amendment at its pubic hearing of March 18, 2008,
as part of a larger text amendment (TA2008-01001/Ordinance 7926-08). The CDB
recommended the approval of the proposed amendment with no comments.
Councilmember Petersen moved to approve an amendment to the Community
Development Code to further the consistency between the Community Development Code and
the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and to make other minor editorial changes. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
