temporary hatchery which currently exists on the site shall
be maintained through the construction period o_ the first
-9-
employees who, for security or administrative reasons, are
in the building after an. evacuation order is issued by (1)
ordering all buildings closed for the duration of a
hurricane evacuation order; (2) informing all employees and
guests of evacuation routes out of the flood prone area and
measures to be followed in such event; (3) assisting in

3. Programs to reduce levels of operation of
all air conditioning, heating, and lighting systems during
non-business hours, or night-time, as appropriate.
4. Recycling programs for solid waste.
5. Minimize outdoor signs requiring lighting
after business hours.
6. Innovative energy alternatives such as
solar energy, resource recovery, waste heat recovery and
cogeneration.
E. Transportation.
1. The Development will have a negative
' impact on Gulf Boulevard, from Walsingham to 4th Avenue
(appror.imately one-tenth of a mile). Because of the above
described negative impact upon a regionally significant
highway facility, approval of this Order is conditioned upon
the following:
a. When certificates of occupancy have
been issued for 428 hotel rooms, (or the equivalent thereof
in terms of trip generation) an annual monitoring program to
provide peak-hour counts at the Development entrance shall
be instituted to verify that the projected number of
external trips for the Development are not materially
exceeded. Counts will continue on an annual basis through
build-out of the Development This information shall be
supplied in the required annual report. If an anneal report
is not submitted within thirty (30) days after its due date,
or if the annual report indicates that project trips exceed
assumed counts by more than 15%, the City shall conduct a
substantial deviation determination, pursuant to Subsection
380.06(19), Florida Statutes (1988), and may amend this
Order to change or require additional roadway
improvements. The results of the study may also serve as a
basis for the Developer or reviewing agencies to request
amendments to this Order.
If the project trips exceed assumed
counts by more than 15% and if such variance from .projected
-13-
c. Three transportation mitigation options
• are included in this Order. The Developer shall select the
preferred option for transportation mitigation after
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first tower,
but r.~t later than commencement of construction of the
second and final tower. This timing selection of an option
is deemed appropriate because the .regional impact does not
occur until after the second tower is completed and the only
regional facility adversely impacted is undergoing study by
the FDOT with regard to planning, design and engineering for
capacity expansion. These options are:
motion 1
Prior to issuance of any, construction permits for the
Development, there shall exist funding commitments from
. responsible entities to construct Gulf Boulevard, from
Walsingham Road to Fourth Avenue as a three-lane undivided
arterial, at a minimum. In the event Gulf Boulevard is not
committed as assumed in the ADA analysis, a new analysis and
traffic reassignment shall be required, as appropriate.
This Order shall not be construed as a funding commitment by
the City to improve Gulf Boulevard.
Option 2
In the event that commitments for transportation
improvements are adequate to permit approval of only a
portion of the Development, the capacity and loac'ing of
transportation facilities in the Development transportation
area, including but not limited to the widening of Gulf
Boulevard, shall be limi~ing factors in any subsequent
approvals. Accordingly, tine Developer shall Generate and
provide the City, the County hiPO, the FDOT and the TBRPC,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 380.06, Florida
Statutes (1988), with updated current traffic counts on the
above roadways, and projections of traffic volumes that will
result from the completion of the currently approved
Development construction, plus that to be generated by the
next portion for which the Developer is seeking approval.

portion of Gulf Boulevard lying between 4th Avenue and
Walsingham Road.
The Developer shall pay transportation impact fees for
the 428 suite hotel tower pursuant to the fee schedule
established by Pinellas County Ordinance 86-43. The
Developer shall pay any additional transportation impact
fees for any additional development pursuant to the fee
schedule established by Pinellas County Ordinance 88-50, as
the same may be amended from time to time. Recognizing that
the Developer will pay County transportation impact fees far
in excess of the proportionate share contribution calculated
pursuant to DCA pipeline transportation policy, the
Developer shall receive credit for its proportionate share
contribution against impact fees pursuant to law.
Section 4. The Coastal Construction Control Line. The
Development plan contemplates that development will occur
seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. The City
hereby approves the Development and grants permission to
place structures seaward of the Coastal Construction Control
Line, in accordanc e with the ADfi and conditioned upon
approval of the DNR, pursuant to Chapter 161, Florida
Statutes.
Section 5. Transfer of Development Rights. Pursuant to
Section 136.011 of the City's -Land De~:elopment Code, the
Developer is hereby allowed to transfer Development rights
of 42 hotel units or 28 residen'~ial dwelling units
(condominiums) per acre, `er a total of 322 hotel units or
267 residential dwelling units, .from the adjoining 18.44
acres o` property adjacent to the 10.2 acres of upland
property which Developer owns landward of the coastal
construction control line.
Section 6. Repealer.- All ordinances and parts of
ordinances expressly and directly in conflict with this
ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such
conflict.
