Owners/Applicant: Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Inc. Representative: Housh Ghovaee / Renee Ruggiero, Northside Engineering Services, Inc. Address: 249 Windward Passage CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Flexible Development approval to permit the expansion of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium within the Commercial (C) District with a lot area of 197,167 square feet (4.526 acres), a lot width of 546.3 feet, a front (north) setback of 15 feet (to building/pavement), rear (south) setbacks of 12 feet (to building) and zero feet (to marina promenade), side (east) setbacks of 272 feet (to building) and 10 feet (to pavement), a side (west) setback of 10 feet (to building), and side (north) setbacks of 30 feet (to building) and 10 feet (to pavement), a building height of 42.33 feet, and 323 off-street parking spaces as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project pursuant to Community Development Code Section 2-704.C. along with a reduction to the perimeter buffer requirement along the south property lines from 15 feet to zero feet, and a reduction from the required number of trees within interior landscape islands from 34 to 27 as a Comprehensive Landscape Program pursuant to Community Development Code Section 3-1202.G., with a two-year Development Order. ZONING DISTRICT: Commercial (C) District FUTURE LAND USE PLAN CATEGORY: Commercial General (CG) PROPERTY USE: Current: Aquarium, Marina and Vacant Property Proposed: Aquarium and Marina EXISTING North: Commercial (C) District and SURROUNDING Medium Density Residential (MDR) District ZONING AND USES: Offices and Attached Dwellings South: Preservation (P) District Mandalay Channel (Intracoastal Waterway) East: Commercial (C) District and Preservation (P) District Restaurant and Mandalay Channel West: Commercial (C) District and Preservation (P) District Offices and Mandalay Channel Community Development Board -May 17, 2011 FLD2011-02006 - Page 1 of 12 ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 4.52-acre subject property is located on the south side of Windward Passage approximately 210 feet west of Island Way. The property is comprised of three separate parcels of land that when combined result in an awkward property configuration. These properties consist of the existing 39,974 square foot, two-story Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) building, a 25-dock marina, and a mixture of improved and unimproved off-street parking (the majority of which does not comply with current parking design standards). The eastern third of the subject property is vacant. It is noted that at its meeting of March 17, 2011, the City Council approved a subordination agreement and approved the modification of the City's' reverter on the CMA property. The subordination agreement provides, among other things, that the City subordinate its reverter interest up to an $8.6 million loan. In return for the City's subordination, the City obtains the right of first refusal to acquire the first mortgage position and/or title, if applicable, to the property should the City elect to exercise its reverter rights by paying off the existing indebtedness in the event of the default or demise of the CMA property. Should the CMA fail and/or default on the outstanding indebtedness, and BB&T pursues its mortgage rights, the City would have the option to either obtain control of the entire CMA campus in return for payment of the then existing debt balance or waive this option with BB&T then able to proceed with foreclosure on the Parcels. The City has no obligation to purchase the mortgage nor is the City guaranteeing any debt. Development Proposal: The development proposal that is currently before the Community Development Board (CDB) will eliminate all of the existing conforming and non-conforming parking areas from the site and consists of the following improvements: ? The construction of an approximate 11,000 square feet of new floor area for the Clearwater Marine Aquarium building to include a new lobby and gift shop, as well as a new outdoor tank exhibit area with a 660-seat outdoor stadium; ? The construction of several new outdoor aquatic tanks along the west side of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium building; ? The construction of a new 205-space, four-level parking garage between the Clearwater Marine Aquarium building and Windward Passage; ? The construction of a new 118-space surface parking lot on the eastern third of the subject property; ? The construction of a new 12-foot to 14-foot wide marina promenade along that portion of the property abutting the Mandalay Channel; ? The installation of a loading zone, dumpster enclosure and "T" turnaround for Fire Department access at the termination of the right-of-way for Marina Way on the subject property; ? The installation of perimeter, interior and foundation landscaping throughout the site; and ? The installation of stormwater drainage improvements including a vault beneath the surface parking area. Community Development Board - May 17, 2011 FLD2011-02006 - Page 2 of 12 The development proposal's compliance with the various development standards of the Community Development Code (CDC) is discussed below. Intensity: Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-701.1, the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) for properties with a future land use plan designation of CG is 0.55. The proposed expansion will result in a total gross floor area of 52,323 square feet at a FAR of 0.265, which is below the above referenced maximum. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR): Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2- 701.1, the maximum ISR for properties with a future land use plan designation of CG is 0.95. The proposed ISR is 0.852, which is below the above referenced maximum. 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. The lot area of the subject property is 197,167 square feet (4.53 acres) while the lot width along Windward Passage is 546.3 feet. It is noted that the lot area/width of the subject property exceeds that which is typical for uses in the C District. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. The development proposal includes a front (north) setback of 15 feet (to building/pavement), rear (south) setbacks of 12 feet (to building) and zero feet (to pavement), side (east) setbacks of 272 feet (to building) and 10 feet (to pavement), a side (west) setback of 10 feet (to building), and north (side) setbacks of 30.6 feet (to building) and 10 feet (to pavement). It is noted that the proposed setbacks are generally consistent with what would typically be required in the C District and, for the most part, will not result in required perimeter landscape buffers being reduced, or result in a site design that is out of character for the surrounding area. The requested front setback of 15 feet to the proposed parking garage and surface parking area will help facilitate the opportunity to locate the facility in its proposed location which will in turn enable parking garage to effectively have a second function as physical buffer from the principal aquarium building and outdoor stadium/tank area and help mitigate any potential acoustic impacts that may stem from these elements. The requested rear setback of zero feet is in order to accommodate the construction of a paver brick promenade along the entire length of the waterfront property line. The promenade will provide a clearly defined path for pedestrian traffic along the waterfront and facilitate easy access to the existing marina/boat slips. Maximum Building Height: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no maximum height for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. The greatest height for the entire project is for the proposed sun shade over the outdoor stadium/tank area, which is 42.33 feet. The height of the principal aquarium building is 22.5 feet, and the height of the parking garage is 31.5 feet. It is noted that the proposed height is within the maximum range established for multiple uses within the C District and is compatible with the surrounding buildings. Community Development Board - May 17, 2011 FLD20 1 1-02006 - Page 3 of 12 Minimum Off-Street Parking: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum off-street parking requirement for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project shall be determined by the Community Development Coordinator based on the specific use and/or ITE Manual standards. It is noted that the existing city-marina requires a total of 24 off-street parking spaces (one space per two slips), all of which are provided for and will be reserved exclusively for the use of marina tenants. The aquarium has been determined to have two distinct elements: the principal aquarium building and the 660-seat outdoor stadium/tank area. The ITE Manual does not include an aquarium land use category; therefore alternate, similar comparables were sought out within the ITE Manual for the proposed use/elements. Based upon discussions with the applicant as well as the City's Traffic Engineering staff, the principal aquarium building was found to be most consistent with the Museum land use; and as a Museum the off-street parking requirement for the principal aquarium element was established as 1.32 spaces per 1,000 square feet, or 67.35 spaces. The outdoor stadium/tank area was found to be most consistent with the Live Theater land use; and as Live Theater the off-street parking requirement for the stadium element was established as 1 space per three seats, or 217.80 spaces. Based upon the above, the combined total of required off-street parking spaces for the principal aquarium building, the outdoor stadium/tank area, and the marina is 309. The application currently before the CDB proposes 323 off-street parking spaces, and therefore meets the requirements of CDC Table 2-704. Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project - Flexibility Criteria: Pursuant to CDC Section 2- 704.C.6.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 step-backs; and ¦ Distinctive roofs forms. As part of their written response to address the above flexibility criterion, the applicant has provided the following: "The proposed development utilizes a number of design elements in order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance. Each structure uses changes in horizontal building planes which is visible at the main structure entrance and stadium. Architectural columns, pilasters, porticos, and railings add interest on both structures which can be seen at the parking garage corners and decks surrounding the show tanks. The incorporation of a variety of materials and landscaping at both structures adds visual interest. Each structure's fenestration patterns are repetitive and rectilinear making it distinctive from surrounding projects and giving the project its own identity. Each structure has unique roof forms which will set it apart from the Community Development Board - May 17, 2011 FLD2011-02006 - Page 4 of 12 surrounding areas and make it a visual landmark to visitors. These elements make the aquarium unique, visually interesting, and distinctive from surrounding areas." With regard to the aquarium building and outdoor stadium/tank area, staff generally agrees with the applicant that the necessary design elements are being incorporated into the building design and that said design will be visually interesting and attractive in its appearance. However, staff cannot make the same finding with respect to the proposed parking garage. The proposed architectural elevations for the parking garage have carried-over the same fenestration pattern found on the aquarium building, and have incorporated columns and railings as architectural details. However, the proposed columns add very little to the building aesthetic; seemingly acting as a structural element only, and the building appears rather plain, unadorned and devoid of any visually interesting and attractive architectural details. Further, there are no discernable changes in horizontal building planes, no use of building step-backs, or anything that would be considered a distinctive roof form. In short, the proposed parking garage does not comply with the required Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criterion. Staff acknowledges that incorporating changes in horizontal building planes and building step- backs into a parking garage is difficult without compromising the functionality of the parking garage itself. Because of this, staff feels strongly that even greater attention must be paid to the incorporation of the other design elements into the final architectural elevations. The plans do not identify any proposed building materials other than concrete and no further specifics have been provided by the applicant in their written response. The parking garage structure will be concrete with no apparent variation in texture, and the only other material incorporated into the design is some type of metal railings for the staircase. Staff does not find that the proposal constitutes variety in materials and textures. Therefore, staff recommends that additional material be incorporated into the design; perhaps through the application of a decorative metal trim (although a different metal from the railings) on the cap of the fenestrated garage walls and stair towers. It is noted that through the incorporation of this trim into the design, the roof of the parking garage would become more distinctive than as presently proposed. Staff would also recommend that the fenestrated garage walls be textured differently from the balance of the garage exterior. Through these modifications staff would find that the design displays a variety in materials, colors and textures. As previously noted, the proposed architectural elevations incorporate columns and railings as architectural details, but that these do little to the overall building appearance. While it is not desirous to add architectural details to the parking garage that would be out of character for not only its style but also the style of the aquarium building and result in the creation of a less cohesive overall design, staff feels that through the incorporation of awnings into the design there will be a benefit to not only the appearance of the parking garage, but also to its functionality. Therefore, staff recommends that an awning be added at the vehicular entry into the parking garage (east elevation) as well as on the third level of the two fenestrated walls on the north elevation. The awnings must be canvas, aluminum or another material acceptable to the Planning and Development Department other than plastic, be of an adequate dimension to be of meaningful aesthetic value, and be of a color compatible with the chosen color palette. Community Development Board -May 17, 2011 FLD2011-02006 - Page 5 of 12 The west elevation of the proposed parking garage appears rather monotonous with a solid concrete wall, three sections of open parking deck, and an open stairwell. Staff would recommend that the center section of open parking deck be modified in some manner to provide architectural diversity to the elevation; perhaps through the utilization/installation of a living wall or green wall. The installation of such a wall, aside from the obvious aesthetic appeal, may also help to purify the air circulating from the parking garage and act as an acoustic control from the parking garage as well. Subject to the above discussed changes being incorporated into the final architectural design of the parking garage, a positive finding can be made with regard to the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project flexibility criteria set forth in CDC Section 2-704.C. 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 upon the plans submitted, it does not appear that any mechanical equipment will be located on the roof of the proposed buildings. Instead, any mechanical equipment would appear to be located within the CMA facility itself, or along the south side of the building adjacent to the promenade. Sight Visibili Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the proposed driveways on Windward Passage and where the property is accessed via Marina Way, 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 was reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineering Department and found to be acceptable. Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-912, for development that does not involve a subdivision, all utilities including individual distribution lines must be installed underground unless such undergrounding is not practicable. The existing building is served by overhead utilities. Should this application be approved, all utilities serving this building must be relocated underground on- site in compliance with this requirement. Landscaping: Pursuant to CDC Sections 3-1202.D.1 and 3, there is a 15-foot wide landscape buffer required along the property lines abutting the Mandalay Channel/Causeway right-of-way. The proposal includes a reduction to the landscape buffer along the Mandalay Channel/Causeway right-of-way from 15 feet to zero feet. Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E.1, one tree is required within an interior landscape island for every 150 square feet of required greenspace. The proposal includes a reduction to this requirement from 34 to 27. Comprehensive Landscape Program: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.G., the landscaping requirements contained within the Code can be waived or modified if the application contains a Comprehensive Landscape Program satisfying certain criteria. The following table depicts the consistency of the development proposal with those criteria: Community Development Board - May 17, 2011 FLD2011-02006 - Page 6 of 12 Consistent I Inconsistent 1. Architectural theme: a. The landscaping in a comprehensive landscape program shall be designed as a N/A N/A part of the architectural theme of the principle buildings proposed or developed on the parcel proposed for development; or b. The design, character, location and/or materials of the landscape treatment X proposed in the comprehensive landscape program shall be demonstrably more attractive than landscaping otherwise permitted on the parcel proposed for development under the minimum landscape standards. 2. Lighting: Any lighting proposed as a part of a comprehensive landscape program is X automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned off when the business is closed. 3. Community character: The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive X landscape program will enhance the community character of the City of Clearwater. 4. Property values: The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive landscape x program will have a beneficial impact on the value of property in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. 5. Special area or scenic corridor plan: The landscape treatment proposed in the N/A N/A comprehensive landscape program is consistent with any special area or scenic corridor plan which the City of Clearwater has prepared and adopted for the area in which the parcel proposed for development is located. The majority of the perimeter landscape buffer either meets or, as in the case of the buffer adjacent to Windward Passage, exceeds the minimums established in the Code. The exception to this is the south perimeter buffer abutting the Mandalay Channel/Causeway right-of-way. Perimeter buffers are typically desirable elements in the site design; however in the instance of the required south perimeter buffer its provision would actually be an impediment to the functionality of the site, impeding access to the existing, abutting marina/boat slips. As such, the applicant has proposed the construction of a paver brick promenade along the entire length of the waterfront property line. This promenade will provide a clearly defined path for pedestrian traffic along the waterfront and facilitate easy access to the existing marina/boat slips. Some landscaping will be provided between the aquarium building and the waterfront in the form of a three-foot wide planter area consisting of pitch apple and a silver button wood hedge. With regard to the interior of the surface parking area the proposal meets the majority of the applicable Code requirements. However, the application does request a reduction of the requirement to provide 34 trees within interior landscape islands (1 per 150 square feet of required greenspace) to 27 trees. While only 79% of the otherwise required interior trees are to be provided, it does not appear to be possible for the site to accommodate any further interior trees without substantially impacting the number of available off-street parking spaces through the addition of more landscape islands, or by planting further trees in the already proposed landscape islands at the expense of reducing the spacing between the trees and compromising the viability of all trees to be planted. Solid Waste: The development proposal provides for a new 15-foot by 11-foot (approximate) dumpster enclosure within the "T" turnaround area located off of Marina Way. The plans indicate this enclosure will be constructed to City standards. It is a requirement that the enclosure exterior must be consistent with the exterior materials and color of the building. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste Department.

X The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application and supporting materials at its meeting of March 3, 2011, 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 4.52-acre subject property is located on the south side of Windward Passage approximately 210 feet west of Island Way; 2. The subject property is zoned Commercial (C) District with an underlying future land use plan designation of Commercial General (CG); 3. The subject property has approximately 416.12 feet of frontage along Windward Passage; 4. The building setbacks are 15 feet (front), 12 feet (rear), 272 feet, 10 feet and 30.6 feet (side); 5. The pavement setbacks are 15 feet (front), zero feet (rear), and 10 feet (sides); 6. The height of the sun shade for the outdoor stadium/tank area is 42.33 feet, the principal aquarium building is 22.5 feet, and the parking garage is 31.5 feet; 7. Based upon discussions with the applicant and the City's Traffic Engineering staff, as well as in reviewing comparable land uses in the ITE Manual, the off-street parking requirement for the development proposal has been determined to be 309 parking spaces and 323 parking spaces are proposed; and 8. The development proposal will be compatible with the surrounding area. . The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the X immediate vicinity. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including X visual acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties. 5SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: Conclusions of Law.

Attn: Donald Melone - Engineering Spec. Re: Clearwater Marine Aquarium Expansion Project I was in attendance at the April 19, 2011 meeting regarding this project only to find out that it had been cancelled and rescheduled for May 17, 2011. Since I am going to be out of town and unable to attend, I do not want my absence reviewed as approval of the project. In my letter of April 1, 2011, all the issues addressed in that letter still stand. In fact, I have an additional request. Garage: In addition to my April 1, 2011 letter: After reviewing the drawings again, the location of the garage to my property and its height concerns me. Since I am already removing garbage and trash that has been thrown up by the more athletic public, the location and height of the proposed garage will allow the public, including infants throwing their "tommy sippy cups" down onto my roof and using my AC units as targets. The open top floor of the garage will attract the public for no other reason than to get a view of the surrounding property, attractions and water. I am requesting the city to take in consideration the garage design and any damage to my property. I am requesting some form of protection from "flying" objects from CMA garage design.

Northsmide EXHIBIT "B" TO FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Inc. 249 Windward Passage Discussion: Civil Land Planning Due Diligence Reports Re-Zoning, Land Use, Annexation Stormwater Management Utility Design Traffic Construction Administration The subject site is an aggregate of 4.53 acres and is comprised of three parcels, two of which are occupied by the existing marine aquarium and rehabilitation center for aquatic wildlife. The third parcel (located to the east) which is currently a vacant tract was acquired in 2010 with financial assistance from the City and will be the location of additional parking. The site is situated along the waterfront of Island Estates and is located within the Commercial (C) District. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium has existed at this location since 1978 and will continue to operate as a marine aquarium and rehabilitation center; this use does not vary from the permitted use. A recently produced Hollywood movie based on the story of Winter the dolphin is expected to draw tourists to the aquarium from around the world. In an effort to prepare and be a good neighbor, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is proactively addressing future guest and staff parking demands due to the anticipated increase of expected patrons. A primary focus of the proposed new construction is to provide additional parking to the facility; the proposed renovation will include a relocated 105-space surface parking lot to be located on the newly acquired parcel and a new 206- space three story parking garage to be constructed in the area which is currently surface parking. Bus parking for school field trips and other groups will be provided on the proposed surface lot. The second area of focus is the proposed renovation of the existing building; including the establishment of an identifiable main entrance, providing the building with a much needed face lift and interior renovations. The proposed work also includes enlarging Winter's live and play areas together with offering an expanded viewing opportunity for visitors. 1 The proposed renovations and construction are within the allowable flexible standards with the exception of the proposed promenade along the waterfront; current development standards require decorative pavers meet the same setbacks as a building, placing this proposal into the Comprehensive In-fill Redevelopment Project category. Section B. Description of Request Specifically, the Applicant requests flexible development approval to permit the expansion of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium within the Commercial (C) District with the following: a. a Lot Area of 197,167 square feet (4.526 acres); b. a Lot Width of 546.30 feet along Windward Passage, 707.00 feet along the waterfront; c. a building height (above BFE) of 46.2 feet; d. a front (north) setback along Windward Passage of 15' to building (proposed garage) and 15' to parking lot pavement; e. aside (east) setback of 7' to parking lot pavement and 181' to building; f. a side (west) setback of 10' to building (proposed garage); g. a side (north) setback of 5' to pavement, 25' to the dumpster enclosure and 30.6' to building (aquarium) h. a front (west) setback of 0' to the decorative brick promenade along the waterfront and 18' to buffer wall; i. a front (south) setback of 0' to the decorative brick promenade along the waterfront, and 12' to building (aquarium); j. a front (east) setback of 0'to the decorative brick promenade along the waterfront, and 18' to building (aquarium) k. providing a total of 3110 on-site parking spaces; 1. an impervious surface ratio of 0.84558 in. anF.A.R. of 0.26; 2 n. allowing for an 8' high solid buffer wall surrounding the aquatic above ground tanks located along the west side of the aquarium building; o. approval of a two-year development order; as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-704.C of the Code. Section D. Written Submittal Requirements General Applicability Criteria: 1) The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located. The aquarium has been a landmark at this location for approximately 33 years and has long been a good neighbor to the residents of Island Estates, the surrounding business owners and the community as a whole. The Aquarium is a redeveloped City water treatment plant. The proposed improvements seek to upgrade the facility, provide resources for heightened animal care, and reponse to increased public attendance due to the opening of the movie "Winter." The character of adjacent properties are mixed with residential townhomes to the west, a commercial parcel with a commercial building in the shape of an "outparcel" to the subject property, Residences at Windward Passage condominium to the north, as well as commercial retail closer to Island Way, and the Island Way Grill restaurant to the east. The area on which the aquarium facility is located is on a semi-circular shape which extends southerly into the water. The portions of the subject property adjacent to the neighboring parcels will be occupied by surface parking and the parking garage providing a transition from the other commercial uses to the Aquarium. Island Estates is a mixture of residential, office and commercial parcels with varying heights as can be viewed across the causeway. The proposed height of the parking garage at 31' is reasonable as adjoining residential parcels would be allowed heights of up to 50' (through residential infill approval). The outdoor stadium and its associated suncover is located closest to the aquarium's proposed parking lot and the adjacent commercial property to minimize the impact to the nearby residential uses. The "outparcel" property has a two-story building and the other marina-based uses on the properties to the southwest support a larger, more densely development property on the Aquarium site. The restaurant to the east of the Aquarium will be buffered from the Aquarium by the proposed surface parking. With a proposed FAR of .26, the property will not appear to be crowded. 3 The original use of the building as a City Water Treatment Plant is still somewhat evident from the existing architecture of the exterior of the building. As shown on the architectural plans, the proposed improvements to the exterior will provide a more harmonious existence with the adjacent and surrounding properties. 2) The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof. The adjacent properties are currently developed. The proposed improvements will not discourage the appropriate development and use of the adjacent land and buildings, which are already developed, and the value of adjacent and surrounding properties will not be compromised. The adjacent parcels have a commercial zoning category and a land use category of commercial general and therefore can be development up to 50 ft. in height (greater than the proposed height of the stadium sunshade), and with an FAR of .55 (significantly greater than the proposed FAR). Properties across the Windward Passage right of way are residential medium land use category and medium density residential zoning and can be development with an FAR of .50 and height of 30-50 feet. Adjacent and neighborhood parcels will be enhanced by the proposed upgrading of this facility in a number of ways, including: A. Lush landscaping is included in the redevelopment proposal that will visually enhance the neighborhood and the waterfront. B. New construction will meet current building codes and provide improved accessibility for those with disabilities and safety during storm events C. The proposed parking area and garage will have adequate stacking space and loading areas to eliminate traffic congestion on Windward Passage; accommodate staff and visitors to the aquarium; and provide parking areas for bus parking. D. The visitors of the aquarium will also provide support to the surrounding restaurants and retail businesses. E. The incorporation of the public pedestrian promenade around the site will enhance the waterfront and the neighborhood, providing waterfront access to adjacent properties. F. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium has long been a significant economic contributor to the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy and by creating jobs; G. The proposed use provides the development and or preservation of a working waterfront use. 4 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 aquarium has existed in this location for approximately 33 years and none of the planned improvements will change the use or operation of the facility in a manner that will adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. The proposed use is not problematic and does not impact the health of residents or visitors as it has coexisted in the neighborhood for years. The proposed parking on the site, including adequate loading area, will eliminate any possible traffic congestion on Windward Passage increasing the safety of neighboring residents. The promenade area leading to the city's docks will be lit making passage around the Aquarium safer. The proposed improvements to the building and site will comply as required with all applicable codes including the Florida Building Code, the Life Safety Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code. 4) The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. The Applicant has included in this submittal a traffic assessment prepared by Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc. which determines that traffic impacts as a result of the proposed redevelopment will be minimal and further that nearby intersections and adjacent roadways will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service after the proposed improvements are completed. Special consideration has been given to the on site stacking ability to allow ample room for queuing and to not create a back up of traffic on to Windward Passage. Adequate parking will insure that guests to the aquarium will easily and quickly locate a parking space allowing for a smooth flow of traffic off the main street. 5) The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The community character of Island Estates is an island of mixed uses, ranging from retail to residential. As the Aquarium has been at this location for over 30 years it has become a part of the community character of Island Estates. The industrial-like look of the existing facility, although consistent with the boat repair and sales uses nearby, will be upgraded and modernized, more reflective of the nearby residential and restaurant uses. The proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment project does not represent a "new" project or a "new" use for the land but makes improvements to the existing facility which will visually enhance the area. 5 6) The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties. The existing development and proposed re-use of the site will not cause adverse effects on adjacent properties. The proposed redevelopment project will improve the visual appeal of the property as seen from the properties on Island Estates and from the Memorial Causeway. The architectural design of the project is appropriate and appealing. The outdoor viewing area and stadium seating is located on the southern corner of the property, behind the proposed parking garage. Educational presentations in the outdoor area will be during Aquarium hours. Currently, these presentations/shows do not occur later than 6:00 p.m. Sound will be focused toward the building - not toward the water or residential areas. The architectural components of the shade over the outdoor area will protect sound from penetrating the residential areas to the north of the site. Any amplified sound will comply with the provisions of sec. 3-1508 of the Community Development Code. Live presentations currently are limited between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the week, with the last Friday/Saturday presentation at 6 p.m. It is not anticipated that show times or Aquarium hours will dramatically change as a result of this redevelopment. Please see attached letter from CMA The hours of operation are primarily daylight and will remain the same: Monday - Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm, Friday - Saturday 9 am to 7 pm and Sunday 10 am - 5 pm. The general operation of the facility will remain much the same as today so as not to impose any adverse effects. The placement of activities and proposed structures, together with the architectural and site design minimize impacts on adjacent properties. Comprehensive 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 deviations proposed below are necessary and minimal to provide the proposed improvements to this highly visible waterfront site. Certain deviations are necessary to meet the special laws and regulations associated with the marine aquatic life as the Aquarium strives to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. A copy of the AZA standards are included with this submittal. Additionally, the deviations improve accessibility to the waterfront for all 6 including those with disabilities and to provide appropriate parking and vehicular accessibility. The Applicant has assembled land when possible to better meet the needs of the facility; however the land assembled is irregularly shaped which presents challenges to redevelopment and improvements in accordance with Code requirements. Height The Commercial District allows flexible height of between 25'-50'; the proposed garage and shade structure are within the allowable limits of the flexible standards. The proposed three story garage is minimal and appropriate for area; the height of the proposed shade structure is the minimum necessary to accomplish the shade required for the marine life. The shade structure has been specifically located to the rear of the site as much as possible and is situated toward the adjacent commercial site. Setbacks The Commercial District allows flexible setbacks for front yards of between 15'- 25'; the proposed garage is within the allowable limits of the flexible standards and is proposed at a 15' front setback at the northwest corner and over 25' setback at the northeast corner. Pavement is proposed at a 15' front setback leaving generous area for landscape treatment and required buffers. Side yard flexibility of between 0'-10' is allowed, the proposed 10' side setback of the garage structure is within the allowable limits of the flexible standard and will allow more than sufficient room for the required 5' landscape buffers. Pavement is proposed at a minimum of 5' along the side yards providing area to address the required 5' landscape buffers. Because the District's maximum flexibility of rear yard setbacks allows between 10'-20', the Applicant seeks approval through the Comprehensive Infill process. The proposed setbacks associated with the building, pools and proposed wall/fence are all within the flexible standards however the promenade would need to be located a minimum of 10' from the seawall to meet the allowable flexible standards. The proposed setbacks associated with the buildings, parking area and pools are all within the flexible standards which would not require Comprehensive Infill approval. The use of the site as a marine aquarium beckons for direct access to the waterfront for the visitors of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Neither visibility nor use of land will be impeded on surrounding properties due to the proposed on grade promenade. Buffer Wall 7 The Applicant requests a 8' high buffer wall along the western property line adjacent to waterfront and along a portion of the southern property line adjacent to the waterfront to encompass the outdoor rehabilitation tanks located on the west side of the building. The AZA rules and regulations discussed above and previously provided to city staff requires a secure area and minimum heights for walls and fences. Two-Year Development Order The Applicant requests a two-year development order to allow some latitude to complete construction if necessary for the Non Profit organization. 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 redevelopment will preserve a working waterfront use; Indoor Recreation uses are allowed in the "Commercial" zoning district and are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive plan. Tourism is the major industry in the city and the commercial district is intended to provide access to goods and services in the community. The availability of tourist activities is integral to the community - both locally to Clearwater Beach and the broad Clearwater community. Additionally, the application is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan as the redevelopment provides access to the public boat slips adjacent to the Aquarium property and provides access to tourism activities. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Goals/Policies/Objectives include: A.6.6 Objective - Tourism is a substantial element of the City's economic base and as such the City shall continue to support the maintenance and enhancement of this important economic sector. . A.6.7 Objective - Redevelopment activities shall be sensitive to the city's waterfront and promote appropriate public access to the city's waterfront resources. A.6.7.1 Encourage the preservation of recreational and commercial working waterfronts and marinas and other water-dependent facilities. E.1.6.2 The City will encourage the preservation of recreational and commercial working waterfronts and marinas and other water-dependent facilities. The Aquarium itself is identified as a major activity center in the comprehensive plan and this renovation will allow it to accommodate the visitors expected to patronize this facility. 8 3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties. The proposed project is compatible with the neighborhood, as is more particularly discussed in General Applicability Criteria 1 and Comprehensive Infill Criteria 4 below, and will not impede other development. The proposed improvements will benefit the community as a whole and specifically this district. The improvements are limited to the Aquarium property, do not impact the traffic flow, and the major setback relief is limited to the waterfront portion of the site. 4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed development. The adjoining properties will not suffer detriment of any kind as a result of this proposal; the proposed renovation/improvements will improve the value of the adjoining properties by upgrading the look of the now institutional looking property, increasing the capacity for the facility to withstand storms as the new portions will be constructed to current building codes, and generally upgrading a tired site. The site will be in harmony with the surrounding community in much the same manner as in the past 32 years, however, the proposed parking, access; landscape improvements and renovations to the building will improve the operation of the facility and its appearance. The building will no longer reflect its previous life as a water treatment facility and the upgrades will only provide improve benefits to the community. 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 proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard or flexible development use; 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; c. The development proposal accommodates the expansion or redevelopment of an existing economic contributor; d. The proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing; 9 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; or f. The proposed use provides for the development of a new, and/or preservation of a working waterfront use. The development proposal represents an expansion and redevelopment of the Clearwater Aquarium, which is an existing economic contributor to the City and identified in the comprehensive plan as a activity center. Most recently, a major motion picture based on Winter the dolphin was filmed at the Aquarium and at other locations in the City. Tourism is the top industry in the city and the Aquarium not only provides a resource to tourists but with the debut of the movie will become an attractor in itself. 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. The proposed and existing use of the site as a marine aquarium is permitted in the Commercial zoning district as recreational uses are a permitted use. The Aquarium has coexisted with surrounding properties for over 33 years and has not impeded residential or commercial redevelopment in the area. The redevelopment of the Aquarium should create a more attractive site and therefore motivate other properties to upgrade. As previously discussed in detail in General Applicability Criteria 1, the proposed improvements will not impede the surrounding properties. b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the City. No specific design guidelines are adopted for this area of the City. c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character of an area; The area is comprised of varying uses, designs, scale and intensity; the proposed improvements wili be compatible with the character of the area. There is no true "pattcrn" or "theme" of development. Designs range 10 from coastal (Island Way Grill), Mediterranean (residential), and waterfront industrial-like designs (marine uses and two-story office complex). Please see Corrp. Infill Criteria 4 for additional discussion of compatibility with the neighborhood. a. 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. The proposed development utilizes massing of elements, fenestrations, colors and textures to minimize the scale of the structure so as to allow a cohesive appearance with surrounding property aesthetics and zoning uses. While the project makes a visual and bold statement from public areas like the causeway, it also has a toned down, secure and quiet atmosphere for neighboring residents. Architectural elements such as massing walls are used to obstruct direct vision of vehicular parking while maintaining an open natural cross ventilation system. Plush landscaping will be placed along the entire facade to soften the appearance of a hard exterior on the new structure. Colors play an important role characterizing the structures and portraying the excitement that has become part of the project as well as the community. 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; distinctive fenestration patters; building stepbacks; and distinctive roof forms. The proposed development utilizes a number of design elements in order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance. Each structure uses changes in horizontal building planes which is visible at the main structure entrance and stadium. Architectural columns, pilasters, porticos, and railings add interest on both structures which can be seen at the parking garage corners and decks surrounding the show tanks. The incorporation of steel, stucco, masonry, and landscaping at both structures adds visual interest by using a variety of materials, colors and textures. Each structure's fenestration patterns are repetitive and rectilinear making 11 it distinctive from surrounding projects and giving the project its own identity. Each structure has unique roof forms which will set it apart from the surrounding areas and make it a visual landmark to visitors. These elements make the aquarium unique, visually interesting, and distinctive from surrounding areas. b. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design and appropriate distances between buildings. The proposed buffers and setbacks will provide appropriate buffers and distances between buildings; the proposed landscape buffers will meet or exceed the dimensional requirement of the code and will be professionally designed to offer a lush tropical appearance. This redevelopment proposal includes the addition of new large landscape areas not currently present on the site. The Applicant has simultaneously submitted a comprehensive landscape application with this application. The proposed development provides buffers within the development itself and between the development and the adjacent properties. The current site includes little to no landscaping #554476 vl - Clwr Aquarium/Narrative for Resubmittal 12 r Clearwater U Planning & Development Department 100 South Myrtle Avenue Clearwater, Florida 33756 Telephone: 727-562-4567 Fax: 727-562-4865 ?

Although a reduction to some of the landscape islands is requested, the site design provides 14.4% parking lot interior landscaping where 10% is the minimum required. Some proposed landscape islands are over the minimum size required. 2. Lighting: No outdoor lighting is proposed at this time and any future proposed light will meet required code. 3. Community Character: The proposed installation of over 5,800 new plantings, consisting of 23 different varieties, will provide immediate visual rewards to the vicinity and community. Additionally, the proposed plan provides landscaping that is tolerant to the Florida environment. 4. Property Values: The proposed landscape design, with the proposed number and quality of plantings will offer upgraded and positive value to the immediate vicinity for many years to come. 5.

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY FOR CLEARWATER MARINE AQUARIUM 249 WINDWARD PASSAGE CLEARWATER , FLORIDA PREPARED FOR: CLEARWATER MARINE AQUARIUM, INC. PREPARED BY: GULF COAST CONSULTING, INC. REVISED MARCH 2011 PROJECT # 11-005 Robert Pergol z CP, PTP AICP #9023, PTP 4133 I. INTRODUCTION The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is located on the south side of Windward Passage immediately west of Island Way on Island Estates in Clearwater. (See Figure 1) The owner is proposing to modify the facility to include a larger lobby, a maintenance building, increased parking, and install viewing stands for new viewing tanks. The improvements to the property are the subject of a site plan application and this application requires an assessment of the traffic impacts of development. This report was revised based on reduced seating as well as comments and requests for additional information at the March 3, 2011 DRC meeting. The site is currently operating as an aquarium with the hours of 9 AM - 5 PM Monday through Thursday, 9 AM - 7 PM Friday and Saturday, and 10 AM - 5 PM on Sundays. Prior to completing this analysis a methodology was established with the City of Clearwater staff and amended after the March 3, 2011 DRC meeting. II. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The property has direct access to Windward Passage west of Island Way. Island Way is a four-lane divided roadway which is controlled by traffic signals at the Clearwater Memorial Causeway (SR 60) and at Windward Passage. As requested by the City of Clearwater traffic engineering staff PM peak period (4-6 PM) traffic counts were conducted in January 2011 at the following intersections: Island Way / Clearwater Causeway (SR 60) (signal) Island Way / Windward Passage (signal) Windward Passage / Site Driveway As requested at DRC a supplemental analysis was conducted for a Saturday and the same intersections were counted on March 12, 2011 between 11 AM and 1 PM. All traffic counts were converted to annual average equivalents using FDOT seasonal adjustment factors. Existing traffic volumes are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 2S. Existing intersections were analyzed using the HCS+ software. The HCS+ printouts are included in Appendix A. Presently the signalized intersection at Clearwater Memorial Causeway / Island Way operates at LOS B during the weekday PM peak hour with average delay being 13.5 seconds per vehicle. During the Saturday peak hour this intersection operates at LOS B with average delay being 14.4 seconds per vehicle. The intersection at Island Way / Windward Passage operates at LOS B during the weekday PM peak hour with average delay being 12.0 seconds per vehicle. During the Saturday peak hour this intersection operates at LOS B with average delay being 11.9 seconds per vehicle. 1 JECT NO: EXISTING PM PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUME (2011) 11R1 -005 i= u Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc.

Land Development Consulting DATE: MARCH/2011 DRAWN BY: MKC FIGURE: 2S At the existing site driveway (Drive A) to Windward Passage the westbound left turns operate at LOS A and the northbound approach (driveway) movements operate at LOS A all with minimal delay during the weekday PM peak hour and during the Saturday peak hour. Island Way functions as collector roadway and according to FDOT 2009 QLOS Handbook capacity tables has a LOS D capacity of 2,900 vehicles per hour on the four-lane divided roadway. The segment between the Clearwater Memorial Causeway and Windward Passage presently operates at LOS C during the weekday PM peak hour carrying 987 vehicles, and the segment north of Windward Passage operates at LOS C carrying 621 vehicles. During the Saturday peak hour Island Way carries 748 vehicles between Clearwater Memorial Causeway and Windward Passage and 536 vehicles north of Windward Passage which represents LOS C operations. The Clearwater Memorial Causeway is a four-lane divided arterial roadway with a LOS D peak hour capacity of 3,560 vehicles per hour. The causeway operates at LOS B during the weekday PM peak hour carrying 2,234 vehicles east of Island Way and 1,825 vehicles west of Island Way. During the Saturday peak hour the causeway operates at LOS B carrying 2,351 vehicles east of Island Way and 2,155 vehicles west of Island Way. III. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Existing traffic was adjusted by a 1% annual growth rate to the expected build-out year of 2012 to account for background traffic from other nearby redevelopment projects. The site will be redeveloped to include expanded parking, lobby area, and a 660 seat viewing area near the viewing tanks. Using Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 8t' Edition rates, the amount of project trips was calculated and estimate is shown below: TRIP GENERATION ESTIMATES Land Use Amount PM Peak Trips Saturday Peak hr Movie Theater 660 seats 53(19/34) 60(22/38) All vehicular access will be taken from Windward Passage which intersects with Island Way and the expected distribution is as follows: 95% to / from the south (50 PM peak trips, 57 Saturday peak hour trips) 5% to /from the north (3 PM peak trips, 3 Saturday peak hour trips) 2 PROJECT IMPACT CALCULATIONS Weekday PM Project Road Segment Lanes Project Trips Capacity Percent Island Way. (Causeway - Windward Pass) 4LD 50 2900 1.72% Island Way (Windward Pass - North) 4LD 3 2900 0.01% Memorial Causeway (East of Island Way) 4LD 34 3560 0.95% Memorial Causeway (west of Island Way) 4LD 16 3560 0.45% With project traffic added the signalized intersection at Clearwater Causeway / Island Way would continue to operate at LOS B with average delay being 13.8 seconds per vehicle during the weekday PM peak hour. During the Saturday peak hour this intersection would operate at LOS B with average delay being 14.8 seconds per vehicle. With project traffic added the intersection at Island Way / Windward Passage would continue to operate at LOS B with average delay being 12.4 seconds per vehicle during the weekday PM peak hour. During the Saturday peak hour this intersection would operate at LOS B with average delay being 12.3 seconds per vehicle. At the site western driveway (Drive A) to Windward Passage the westbound left turns into the site would continue to operate at LOS A and the northbound approach movements would continue to operate at LOS A with minimal delay both during the weekday PM peak hour and the Saturday peak hour. Queue calculations indicate there would be no vehicle stacking for any movement at this driveway. At the proposed eastern driveway (Drive B) to Windward Passage all movements would operate at LOS A with minimal delay both during the weekday PM peak hour and the Saturday peak hour. Queue calculations indicate there would be no vehicle stacking for any movement at this driveway. With background traffic and project traffic added the segment of Island Way between the Clearwater Memorial Causeway and Windward Passage would carry 1,047 vehicles during the weekday PM peak hour and the segment north of Windward Passage would carry 630 vehicles during the weekday PM peak hour. This represents LOS C operations which are acceptable. During the Saturday peak hour Island Way would carry 811 vehicles between Clearwater Memorial Causeway and Windward Passage and 544 vehicles north of Windward Passage which represents LOS C operations. The Memorial Causeway would continue to operate at LOS B during the PM peak hour carrying 2,290 vehicles east of Island Way and 1,859 vehicles west of Island Way during the weekday PM peak hour. During the Saturday peak hour the causeway would continue to operate at LOS B carrying 2,412 vehicles east of 3 PROJECT NO: FUTURE PM PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUME (2012) 1 1 -005 As- Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc.

This table does not constitute a standard and should be used only for general planning applications. The computer models from which this table is derived should be used for more specific planning applications. The table and deriving computer models should not be used for corridor or intersection design, where more refined techniques exist. Calculations are based on planning applications of the H ghway Capacity Manual, Bicycle LOS Model, Pedestrian LOS Model and Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, respectively for the automobile/truck, bicycle, pedestrian and bus modes. z Level of service for the bicycle and pedestrian modes in this table is based on number of motorized vehicles, not number of bicyclists or pedestrians using the facility.

The development generally has one or more of the following amenities: digital sound, tiered stadium seating and moveable or expandable walls. Theaters included in this category are primarily stand-alone facilities with separate parking and dedicated driveways. All theaters in the category show only first-run movies or movies not previously seen through any other media. They may also have matinee showings. Movie theater without matinee (Land Use 443) and movie theater with matinee (Land Use 444) are related uses. Additional Data Caution should be used when applying these data, as the peaking characteristics for this land use could have a significant impact on trip generation rates. Peaking at movie theaters typically occurred in time periods shorter than an hour. Movie theaters'start and end times may be staggered to reduce peak surging impacts. Friday trip generation was typically higher than other weekdays. Therefore, Friday's data have been excluded from the weekday analyses and have been independently studied. Trip generation data for movie theaters have also been found to vary by month. Refer to Table 2 in movie theater with matinee (Land Use 444) for additional information. Multiplex theaters typically house a smaller number of seats per screen than traditional theaters. Data were collected throughout the year, excluding holiday peak periods. The majority of the theaters studied were open between 1 and 5 years at the time of the study. In addition, 10 theaters indicated that the distance to the closest competitor ranged from 1.5 miles to 5 miles. Several of the study locations also had a game-room facility on site. The majority of the surveyed sites consisted of stand-alone parking areas with minimal pedestrian and transit accessibility. One study reported that the theater was located on a bus route. The peak hour of the generator for multiplex movie theaters occurred during Friday and Saturday evenings between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. For additional information on multiplex movie theaters, refer to the ITE Informational Report, Trip Generation Characteristics of Traditional and Multiplex Movie Theaters.' The sites were surveyed in the 1990s and the 2000s throughout the United States. At least four of the studies were conducted near or in college towns.

The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located. The aquarium has been a landmark at this location for approximately 33 years and has long been a good neighbor to the residents of Island Estates, the surrounding business owners and the community as a whole. The Aquarium is a redeveloped City water treatment plant. The proposed improvements seek to upgrade the facility, provide resources for heightened animal care, and response to increased public attendance due to the opening of the movie "Winter." The character of adjacent properties are mixed with residential townhomes to the west, a commercial parcel with a commercial building in the shape of an "outparcel" to the subject property, Residences at Windward Passage condominium to the north, as well as commercial retail closer to Island Way, and the Island Way Grill restaurant to the east. The area on which the aquarium facility is located is on a semi-circular shape which extends southerly into the water. The portions of the subject property adjacent to the neighboring parcels will be occupied by surface parking and the parking garage. The garage and surface parking lot are located to be convenient to the street so visitors can park quickly and efficiently. The parking garage provides a buffer to the viewing area from the street and the townhomes on the north side of Windward Passage. Island Estates is a mixture of residential, office and commercial parcels with varying heights as can be viewed across the causeway. The proposed height of the parking garage is 22- feet 6-inches from Base Flood Elevation (BFE) to the parking deck, and 31-feet 6-inches to the top of the parapet walls. This is actually 37-feet 6-inches above grade level and is reasonable as adjoining residential parcels would be allowed heights of up to 50' from BFE and 56-feet from grade level (through residential infill approval). The outdoor bleacher seating and its associated sunshade is located closest to the aquarium's proposed parking garage and is primarily shielded from view by the parking garage to minimize the impact to the nearby residential uses on the north side of Windward Passage. The restaurant to the east of the Aquarium will be buffered from the Aquarium by the proposed surface parking. With a proposed FAR of 0.26, as opposed to a maximum FAR of 0.55 permitted in a "C" zone with underlying "CG" land use, the property is much less intense than permitted. The original use of the building as a City Water Treatment Plant is still somewhat evident from the existing architecture of the exterior of the building. As shown on the architectural plans, the proposed improvements to the exterior will provide a more harmonious existence with the adjacent and surrounding properties. 2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof. Page 1 of 10 The adjacent properties are currently developed. The proposed improvements will not discourage the appropriate development and use of the adjacent land and buildings, which are already developed, and the value of adjacent and surrounding properties will not be compromised. The adjacent parcels have a Commercial zoning (C) category and a land use category of Commercial General (CG) and therefore can be development up to 50 ft. in height above BFE (greater than the proposed height of the bleachers sunshade). These properties can be developed with an FAR of 0.55 (significantly greater than the proposed 0.26 FAR). Properties across the Windward Passage right of way have a Residential Medium (RM) land use category and Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning and can be development with up to 15 units per acre or an FAR of 0.50 and height of 30-50 feet. Adjacent and neighborhood parcels will be enhanced by the proposed upgrading of this facility in a number of ways, including: A. Lush landscaping is included in the redevelopment proposal that will visually enhance the neighborhood and the waterfront. B. New construction will meet current building codes and provide improved accessibility for those with disabilities and safety during storm events C. The proposed parking area and garage will have adequate stacking space and loading areas to eliminate traffic congestion on Windward Passage; accommodate staff and visitors to the aquarium; and provide parking areas for bus parking. D. The visitors of the aquarium will also provide support to the surrounding restaurants and retail businesses. E. The incorporation of the public pedestrian promenade around the site will enhance the waterfront and the neighborhood, providing waterfront access to adjacent properties. F. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium has long been a significant economic contributor to the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy and by creating jobs; 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 aquarium has existed in this location for approximately 33 years and none of the planned improvements will change the use or operation of the facility in a manner that will adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. The proposed use is not problematic and does not impact the health of residents or visitors as it has coexisted in the neighborhood for years. The proposed parking on the site, including adequate loading area, will minimize traffic congestion on Windward Passage and not adversely affect the safety of neighboring residents. The detailed traffic analysis conducted for both weekdays and weekend traffic conditions confirmed LOS C or better operations for area intersections and roadways, and specifically noted minimal delays for motorists along Windward Passage. The promenade area leading to the city's docks will be lit making passage around the Aquarium safer. The proposed improvements to the building and site will comply as required with all applicable codes including the Florida Building Code, the Life Safety Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code. Page 2 of 10 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. The Applicant has included in this submittal a traffic assessment prepared by Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc. which determines that traffic impacts as a result of the proposed redevelopment will be minimal and further that nearby intersections and adjacent roadways will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service after the proposed improvements are completed. Special consideration has been given to the on site stacking ability to allow ample room for queuing and to not create a back up of traffic on to Windward Passage. Adequate parking will insure that guests to the aquarium will easily and quickly locate a parking space allowing for a smooth flow of traffic off of Windward Pasage. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The community character of island Estates is an island of mixed uses, ranging from retail to residential. As the Aquarium has been at this location for over 30 years it has become a part of the community character of Island Estates. The industrial-like look of the existing facility, although consistent with the boat repair and sales uses nearby, will be upgraded and modernized, more reflective of the nearby residential and restaurant uses. The proposed comprehensive infill redevelopment project does not represent a "new" project or a "new" use for the land but makes improvements to the existing facility which will visually enhance the area. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. The existing development and proposed re-use of the site will not cause adverse effects on adjacent properties. The proposed redevelopment project will improve the visual appeal of the property as seen from the properties on Island Estates and from the Memorial Causeway. The architectural design of the project is appropriate and appealing. The outdoor viewing area and bleacher seating is located on the southern corner of the property, behind the proposed parking garage. Educational presentations in the outdoor area will be during Aquarium hours. Currently, these presentations/shows do not occur later than 6:00 PM except for on Friday and Saturday evenings when the presentations begin at 6:30 PM. The bleachers will be oriented towards the southeast away from the residential area to the north of Windward Passage. In addition, the proposed parking garage will shield spectator noise from the bleachers. The architectural components of the sunshade over the outdoor area will protect sound from penetrating the residential areas to the north of the site. Any amplified sound will comply with the provisions of sec. 3- 1508 of the Community Development Code. The presentations will not extend beyond 7 PM on Friday and Saturday evenings. Live presentations currently are limited between the hours of 10 AM. and 4 PM during the week, with the last Friday/Saturday presentation at 6:30 PM. It is not anticipated that show times or Aquarium hours will dramatically change as a result of this redevelopment. Please see attached letter from CMA Page 3 of 10 The hours of operation are primarily daylight and will remain the same: Monday - Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Friday - Saturday 9 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 10 AM - 5 PM. The general operation of the facility will remain much the same as today so as not to impose any adverse effects. The placement of activities and proposed structures, together with the architectural and site design minimize impacts on adjacent properties. Page 4 of 10 COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT Project Criteria 1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise impractical without deviations from the intensity and development standards. The deviations proposed below are necessary and minimal to provide the proposed improvements to this highly visible waterfront site. Certain deviations are necessary to meet the special laws and regulations associated with the marine aquatic life as the Aquarium strives to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. A copy of the AZA standards were included with a previous submittal. Additionally, the deviations improve accessibility to the waterfront for all including those with disabilities and to provide appropriate parking and vehicular accessibility. The Applicant has assembled land when possible to better meet the needs of the facility; however the land assembled is irregularly shaped which presents challenges to redevelopment and improvements in accordance with Code requirements. Height The Commercial District allows flexible height of between 25'-50'; the proposed garage and shade structure are within the allowable limits of the flexible standards. The proposed three story garage is appropriate for area; the height of the proposed shade structure is the minimum necessary to accomplish the shade required for the marine life. The shade structure has been specifically located to the rear of the site as far as possible from the residential uses on the north side of Windward Passage and is oriented toward the adjacent commercial restaurant site. Setbacks The Commercial District allows flexible setbacks for front yards of between 15'- 25'; the proposed garage is within the allowable limits of the flexible standards and is proposed at a 15' front setback at the northwest corner and over 25' setback at the northeast corner. Pavement is proposed at a 15' front setback leaving generous area for landscape treatment and required buffers. Side yard flexibility of between 0'-10' is allowed, the proposed 10' side setback of the garage structure is within the allowable limits of the flexible standard and will allow more than sufficient room for the required 5' landscape buffers. Pavement is proposed at a minimum of 5' along the side yards providing area to address the required 5' landscape buffers. Because the District's maximum flexibility of rear yard setbacks allows between 10'-20" the Applicant seeks approval through the Comprehensive Infill process. The proposed setbacks associated with the building, pools and proposed wall/fence are all within the flexible standards however the promenade would need to be located a minimum of 10' from the seawall to meet the allowable flexible standards. The proposed setbacks associated with the buildings, parking area Page 5 of 10 and pools are all within the flexible standards which would not require Comprehensive Infill approval. The use of the site as a marine aquarium beckons for direct access to the waterfront for the visitors of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Neither visibility nor use of land will be impeded on surrounding properties due to the proposed on grade promenade. This is a fantastic amenity! Buffer Wall The Applicant requests a 8' high buffer wall along the western property line adjacent to waterfront and along a portion of the southern property line adjacent to the waterfront to encompass the outdoor rehabilitation tanks located on the west side of the building. The AZA rules and regulations discussed above and previously provided to city staff requires a secure area and minimum heights for walls and fences. Two-Year Development Order The Applicant requests a two-year development order to allow some latitude to complete construction if necessary for the Non Profit organization. 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 redevelopment will preserve a viable tourist/recreational use which contributes to the city economy; recreational uses are allowed in the "Commercial General" land use category and are consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive plan. Tourism is the major industry in the city and the commercial district is intended to provide access to goods and services in the community without adversely impacting the integrity of residential neighborhoods. The aquarium is not adversely impacting the integrity of the townhome complex north of Windward Passage as it is separated by an 80-foot right-of-way from this residential area. In addition the extensive landscape buffer and the location of the parking garage provide a large buffer from the proposed bleacher seating area. The availability of tourist activities is integral to the community - both locally to Clearwater Beach and the broad Clearwater community. Additionally, the application is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan as the redevelopment provides access to the public boat slips adjacent to the Aquarium property and provides access to tourism activities and educational opportunities. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Goals/Policies/Objectives include: A.6.6 Objective - Tourism is a substantial element of the City's economic base and as such the City shall continue to support the maintenance and enhancement of this important economic sector. A.6.7 Objective - Redevelopment activities shall be sensitive to the city's waterfront and promote appropriate public access to the city's waterfront resources. Page 6 of 10 The Aquarium itself is identified as a major activity center in the comprehensive plan and this renovation will allow it to accommodate the visitors expected to enjoy this facility. The new entrance lobby and expanded gift shop provide a much more defined entrance feature than what currently exists and will allow visitors to obtain a souvenir of their visit to the aquarium. 3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties. The proposed project is compatible with the neighborhood, as is more particularly discussed in General Applicability Criteria 1 and Comprehensive Infill Criteria 4 below, and will not impede other development. The proposed improvements will benefit the community as a whole and specifically this district. The improvements are limited to the Aquarium property, do not impact the traffic flow, and the major setback relief is limited to the waterfront portion of the site. 4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed development. The adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of this proposal; the proposed renovation/improvements will improve the subject property by upgrading the look of the now institutional looking property, increasing the capacity for the facility to withstand storms as the new portions will be constructed to current building codes, and generally upgrading a tired site. These upgrades should not negatively impact adjoining properties. The site will be in harmony with the surrounding community in much the same manner as in the past 33 years, however, the proposed parking, access; landscape improvements and renovations to the building will improve the operation of the facility and its appearance. The building will no longer reflect its previous life as a water treatment facility and the upgrades will provide improved benefits to the community. The proposed bleacher seating is oriented away from the residential area that is north of Windward Passage which minimizes impact to adjoining properties. 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 proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard or flexible development use; 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; c. The development proposal accommodates the expansion or redevelopment of an existing economic contributor d. The proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing Page 7 of 10 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 spot land use or zoning designation; f. The proposed use provides for the development of a new and/or preservation of a working waterfront use The development proposal represents an expansion and redevelopment of the Clearwater Aquarium, which is an existing economic contributor to the City and identified in the comprehensive plan as a activity center. Most recently, a major motion picture based on Winter the dolphin was filmed at the Aquarium and at other locations in the City. Tourism is the top industry in the city and the Aquarium not only provides a resource to tourists but with the debut of the movie will become an attractor in itself. 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; The proposed and existing use of the site as a recreational use is permitted in the Commercial General (CG) land use category. The Aquarium has coexisted with surrounding properties for over 33 years and has not impeded residential or commercial development in the area. The redevelopment of the Aquarium and the proposed bleacher seating should create a more attractive site and therefore will not impede the normal and orderly development of surrounding properties, particularly since the bleachers are oriented away from the residential area that is north of Windward Passage. b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the City; No specific design guidelines are adopted for this area of the City. c. The design, scale, and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character of an area; The area is comprised of varying uses, designs, scale and intensity; the proposed improvements will be compatible with the character of the area. There is no true "pattern" or "theme" of development. Designs range from coastal (Island Way Grill), Mediterranean (residential), and waterfront industrial-like designs (marine uses and two- story office complex). The addition of the bleacher viewing area will not be out of character with the area since the bleachers will be primarily shielded from the residential area by the parking garage and will be oriented away from the residential area north of Windward Passage. Please see Comp. Infill Criteria 4 for additional discussion of compatibility with the neighborhood. Page 8 of 10 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 of materials and colors Distinctive fenestration patterns Building stepbacks; and Distinctive roof forms The proposed development utilizes massing of elements, fenestrations, colors and textures to minimize the scale of the structure and provide an attractive appearance. While the project makes a visual and bold statement from public areas like the causeway, it also has a toned down, secure and quiet atmosphere for neighboring residents. Architectural elements such as massing walls are used to obstruct direct vision of vehicular parking while maintaining an open natural cross ventilation system. Plush landscaping will be placed along the entire facade to soften the appearance of a hard exterior on the new structure. Colors play an important role characterizing the structures and portraying the excitement that has become part of the project as well as the community. 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; distinctive fenestration patters; building stepbacks; and distinctive roof forms. The proposed development utilizes a number of design elements in order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance. Each structure uses changes in horizontal building planes which is visible at the main structure entrance and stadium. Architectural columns, pilasters, porticos, and railings add interest on both structures which can be seen at the parking garage corners and decks surrounding the show tanks. The incorporation of a variety of materials and landscaping at both structures adds visual interest. Each structure's fenestration patterns are repetitive and rectilinear making it distinctive from surrounding projects and giving the project its own identity. Each structure has unique roof forms which will set it apart from the surrounding areas and make it a visual landmark to visitors. These elements make the aquarium unique, visually interesting, and distinctive from surrounding areas. e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhances landscape design and appropriate distances between buildings. The proposed buffers and setbacks will provide appropriate buffers and distances between buildings; the proposed landscape buffers will meet or exceed the dimensional requirement of the code and will be professionally designed to offer a lush tropical Page 9 of 10 appearance. This redevelopment proposal includes the addition of new large landscape areas not currently present on the site. The Applicant has simultaneously submitted a comprehensive landscape application with this application. The proposed development provides buffers within the development itself and between the development and the adjacent properties. The current site includes little to no landscaping and the addition of a proposed 15-foot landscape buffer on the north side of the property not only exceeds requirements but is situated to enhance the appearance from the residential properties on the north side of Windward Passage.
