ANALYSIS
Back�round
This application involves a property known as the Clearwater Evening Sun Building located on
the southeast corner of Cleveland Street and Osceola Avenue in Downtown Clearwater. The
building was constructed in 1914 and housed one of Clearwater's first newspapers, the
Clearwater Evening Sun, started by Willis B. Powell. Architecturally the building is an example
of commercial Masonry Vernacular with beautiful brick detailing and an interesting fenestration
pattern of groups of four double-hung sash windows on each floor. The building has had
significant changes made to the exterior including the application of stucco, brick and vertical
wood siding as well as the addition of a balcony with wrought iron railing and oversized
clamshells awnings on the second floor. Most changes appear to be reversible.
Community Development Boazd—September 18,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 1 of 7
To further downtown redevelopment efforts the City of Clearwater entered into a partnership
with Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. regarding the purchase, rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of
this property. Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. agreed to manage and operate the Clearwater Evening Sun
Building in conjunction with the adjacent Capitol Theatre as a performing arts facility, and to
work with the city in securing and providing funding necessary for construction, operation and
maintenance of both properties.
On December 3, 2009, City Council approved Ordinance No. 8118-09, designating this property
as historic, finding that the building qualified for the classification of"excellent," based on the
standards for designation outlined in the Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.2 and
3. In addition to a report on the physical description and historical significance of the building
and historical photographs, preliminary renderings for the restoration of the Clearwater Evening
Sun Building and Capitol Theater were submitted with the application for historic designation.
Since Council approval of the historic designation, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. has modified their
plans for the renovation of both the Clearwater Evening Sun Building and the adjacent Capitol
Theatre. The proposed exterior renovation of the two buildings materially alters this historic
property (as well as the historic Capitol Theatre). The modified renovation architecturally
integrates the farade of the subject property with that of the Capitol Theatre so the two buildings
appear to be one building. This proposed renovation will give a false historic representation of
the subject property due to the architectural changes to the building and the fact that the two
buildings will be read as one. The proposed renovation will remove the character-defining
features that give the Clearwater Evening Sun Building its architectural significance, thereby
materially altering this historic property.
Community Development Code Division 10 Historic Preservation establishes standards for
approving changes to structures which have been designated historic, requiring certificates of
appropriateness to materially alter a historic property. Pursuant to Community Development
Code Section 3-1002, a historic property may be materially altered or relocated only after a six-
month written notice to the community development board by the property owner. Furthermore,
during the waiting period, the Code specifies"the City may conduct negotiations with the owner,
obtain a historic easement, or take appropriate action in order to preserve the property." Instead
of following this process or requesting a certificate of appropriateness, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. is
requesting to de-designate this historic property.
Standards for Removal of Designation
Community Development Code Section 4-607.F. addresses the standards for historic
designation, including criteria for evaluating proposed historic properties and classification
levels related to how many of the criteria are satisfied. As stated, it was previously determined
that the Clearwater Evening Sun Building could be classified as "excellent" because it satisfied
three of the four criteria outlined in the Code.
Community Development Code Section 4-607.G. Removal of designation states, "The removal
of the historic designation from a property or district shall follow the same procedures as were
used for its designation." The Code,however, does not include different criteria to be considered
when a request is received to remove a historic designation.
Communiry Development Board—September I8,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 2 of 7
.
' Consistency with Criteria for Evaluating Proposed Historic Properties
The original request for historical designation evaluated the building against four criteria.
Because there is no specific set of criteria by which to evaluate the proposed removal of this
designation, this report will review the original findings and provide updated information from
the designation application.
Recommended Findings of Fact
The following criteria were used in evaluating the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening
Sun Building.
• Whether the property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad pattern of city, state or national history [CDC Section 4-607.F2.a].
The Clearwater Evening Sun Building has contributed to the history of Clearwater in several
important ways. It has had a major influence on the social and community life of Clearwater
both through its key location on Cleveland Street, the City's main street, and through its
important commercial tenants. Of particular significance is its original occupant, the
Clearwater Evening Sun, one of the City's first newspapers. The building has also housed
several very prominent businesses with long tenancies including the Betty Lane Dress Shop
(almost 20 years) and most recently Pat Lokey (approximately 10 years). [Included in 2009
staff report accompanying request for designationJ
• Whether the property is associated with the lives of persons significant in history [CDC
Section 4-607.F.2.b].
The property proposed for designation was the home of the Clearwater Evening Sun founded
in 1914 by Willis B. Powell. Prior to that, Mr. Powell owned the Independent, a weekly
newspaper founded in 1906. In 1907 Mr. Powell changed the paper's format and it became
St. Petersburg's first daily newspaper, the Evening Independent. The newspaper's editorials
and the owner's political influences contributed to the separation of Pinellas County from
Hillsborough County in 1912 and the designation of Clearwater as the county seat in 1917.
David O. Batchelor bought the Clearwater Evening Sun in 1916 and operated it until he sold
it and the building in 1924. The property ultimately reverted back to Mr. Batchelor during
the Great Depression and remained in the Batchelor family until 1977. [Included in 2009
staff report accompanying request for designationJ
• Whether the property possesses distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of
construction or the representation of the work of a master, or the possession of artistic values
[CDC Section 4-607.F2.c].
After the fire of 1910 that destroyed all of the commercial wooden structures on the north
side of Cleveland Street in the block between Ft. Hanison and Osceola Avenues, all
structures had to be constructed of masonry or brick construction. The Clearwater Evening
Sun Building had to comply with this new requirement and is an outstanding example of
commercial Masonry Vernacular. The building is a two-story structure built of red brick
with decorative brickwork in horizontal and vertical patterns. Its fenestration is arranged in
groups of four double-hung sash windows on each floor. A total of five bays are located
Community Development Board—September I8,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 3 of 7
' along Osceola Avenue and one bay along Cleveland Street. The building also had a metal
canopy on the Cleveland Street fa�ade supported by chains. [Included in 2009 staff report
accompanying request for designationJ
Since the 2009 historic designation, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. has decided to pursue renovations
that do not meet the design guidelines established in the Downtown Clearwater
Redevelopment Plan for the rehabilitation of historic structures. The application requesting
removal of the historic designation states that design changes to the project will include the
elimination of "the commercial Masonry Vernacular architecture (red brickwork detailing,
siding, arched openings, windows, and balcony)," in order to seamlessly incorporate the
fa�ade into the exterior design of the Capitol Theater. The application did not include any
further information as to why this change in design was made. There was no compelling
evidence as to why the historic designation should be removed included within the
application.
• Whether the property yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or
history. [CDC Section 4-607.F.2.d].
There is no evidence that the Clearwater Evening Sun Building yields information important
in prehistory or history. [Included in 2009 staff report accompanying request for
designationJ
Recommended Conclusions ofLaw
At this time, the Clearwater Evening Sun Building remains eligible for historic designation. The
property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns
of Clearwater history and is associated with the lives of persons significant in Clearwater's
history. Current plans would eliminate the distinctive characteristics of a type, period and
method of construction; however, the original plans submitted with the request for designation in
2009 demonstrated that it was possible to maintain and/or restore these architectural
characteristics while rehabilitating the interior of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building to serve
as lobby space and other functions related with the operation of the restored Capitol Theatre next
door.
Classification of Property
Recommended Findings of Fact
Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.3 specifies that historic properties shall be
classified as exceptional, excellent, notable or of value as part of the scene depending on the
number of designation criteria met. Based on the findings of fact and conclusions of law made
above, the Clearwater Evening Sun Building cunently meets three out of the four designation
criteria including: association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of history; association with the lives of persons significant in history; and association
with distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction. Where the previous
proposed restoration plans intended to return all the significant character-defining features and
details of the building to their original appearance, the new plans, according to the application,
involve integrating the Clearwater Evening Sun Building farade into that of the adjacent Capitol
Theatre. These changes would materially alter this building.
Community Development Board—September 18,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 4 of 7
� Recommended Conclusions of Law
The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is currently considered "excellent" as it meets the criteria
established in Community Development Code Section 4-607.F.a, b. and c. The proposed changes
to the exterior of the building would materially alter the historic character of the building as
historic materials would be covered and new architectural features added that create a false sense
of historical development. Changes to the fa�ade of this degree would make it inappropriate for
the building to continue to be designated.
IMPACT OF HISTORIC DESGINATION
The historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building in 2009 made it the first locally
designated building in the city. The Florida Department of State Division of Historical
Resources published a report titled "Economic Impacts of Historic Preservation in Florida" in
2010. This report states that "Historic preservation activities in Florida, including the
rehabilitation of historic buildings, heritage tourism, the operation of history museums and
activities generated by Florida Main Street programs contribute some $6.3 billion annually to the
state." Additionally, the report says, "The U.S. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation notes
that historic preservation is often cheaper than new construction, not only in the reconstruction
process but also in the return on investment brought through the revitalization of urban areas for
both residences and businesses. (U.S. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, 2009)."
Several city plans contain policies related to the preservation and designation of structures within
the city, which can create a sense of place and time and maintain character that makes a city
unique.
Applicable Objectives and Policies from the Future Land Use Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan in support of the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun
Building area as follows:
Policy A.5.5.2 - Preserve the unique qualities of Clearwater and its cultural heritage as
exemplified by historic buildings, landmarks, landscapes, streetscapes, lighting, and
building design.
Objective A.6.3 - The City shall encourage the implementation of histaric overlay
districts, the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of existing
neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the implementation of the City's
Community Development code.
Policy A.6.3.1 - The City Council shall consider designating historic properties and
districts within the City of Clearwater; designations shall be consistent with the standards
for designation found in the City's Community Development Code. Procedures
identified in the Community Development Code should be amended to permit the City, in
addition to property owners,to initiate such designation.
Policy A.6.3.2 - Any changes to approved historic structures shall be approved by the
Community Development Board in accordance with the procedures and requirements
found in the Community Development Code.
Communiry Development Boazd—September 18,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 5 of 7
The historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building furthers the following policy of
the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan:
Policy 4: Renovation, rehabilitation and reuse of historic resources are encouraged. Flexibility
through the site plan review process should be utilized so that historic resources may
be retained and reused.
City plans also include policies related to the importance of economic development, particularly
in the downtown, which are relevant for consideration of the request to remove the historic
designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building.
Applicable Objectives and Policies from the Future Land Use Element of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Policy A.6.1.10 Clearwater will continue to support the tax increment financing program
and redevelopment efforts of the downtown area through activities of the economic
development office and actions of the City Council as the Community Redevelopment
Agency.
Objective A.6.6 - 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.
The Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan includes the following palicy:
Policy 5: The City shall pursue various strategies, incentives and planning tools that will assist
in the preservation of historic resources.
The historic designation of this building requires any building improvements to be consistent
with the design guidelines established in the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan for the
rehabilitation of historic structures. Although it was anticipated that the historic designation of
the Clearwater Evening Sun Building would strengthen the property's eligibility to obtain
historic preservation grant/loan funding, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. has indicated that historic
preservation grant/loan funding will not be required to complete the cunently proposed project.
Strategy 20 of the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan supports locating a performing
arts theater in Downtown and providing assistance, as needed, with land acquisition, land
assembly, building rehabilitation and parking facilities development to support the use. In 2009,
the staff report stated that the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building would
further implementation of this policy. However, removal of the designation does not adversely
affect the implementation of this policy.
Communiry Development Board—September 18,2012-Case HIS2012-00002-Page 6 of 7
� The Introduction of the Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan identifies the purpose of the
plan, and states several reasons why a project like the designation and renovation of the
Clearwater Evening Sun Building are important to the city:
There are several good reasons that downtown revitalization is important to all
Clearwater citizens. First, every city should have a unique place that fosters community
interaction and fun. Downtown should and can be that place for Clearwater residents
and tourists alike. Second, Downtown Clearwater is a reflection of how our forefathers
lived, worked and shopped. Clearwater's past can be seen in its historic buildings in and
around Downtown and historic Coachman Park. We cannot envision and plan for the
future unless we are mindful of our past learning from our successes and failures.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The removal of the historic designation of the Clearwater Evening Sun Building was requested
by Ruth Eckerd Hall, Inc. The building, one of two designated locally as historic, remains an
excellent example of commercial Masonry Vernacular and is one of the oldest commercial
buildings in downtown. It was the home of one of Clearwater's first newspaper and is associated
with Willis B. Powell and the Batchelor family both of whom are both important to Clearwater's
history. The Clearwater Evening Sun Building is a historic property that qualifies for the
classification of "excellent." Policies within the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the
Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan emphasize the importance of designating and
preserving historic buildings, and were considered as part of the original application to designate
the Clearwater Evening Sun Building, and Community Development Code Division 10 Historic
Preservation provides alternate processes for requesting alterations to a historic property.
Based on the above analysis, the Planning and Development Department recommends the
following action on the request:
Recommend DENIAL of the request to remove the historic designation of 401 Cleveland
Street,the Clearwater Evening Sun Building.

Description of Request: To remove the historic designation for the Clearwater Sun Building. The
building has been so severely altered over the years that it can no longer be contributing to the original
design. There are no known plans or photographs of the interior, making it impossible to duplicate.
Also the use of the space will not have any historic aspects to the facility. Finally with design changes
incorporating the front fa�ade of the Capitol Theatre wrapping around the Clearwater Sun Building the
exterior look will have no resemblance of the original.

historic significance of the property will not have any impact on the economic success of the facility.
Nor contribute to the programming presented on the main s'tage. Finally historic preservation

Re�ardin�Section 4-607. F.Standards for DesiQnation: the Clearwater Evening Sun Building does not

commercial Masonry Vernacular architecture (red brickwork detailing, siding, arched openings,
windows,and balcony)will be eliminated and completely co�rered while seamlessly incorporated into
the exterior design of the Capitol Theatre. And while Criteria A& B still hold significance,there will be
nothing left of that building to indicate the contribution of the Clearwater Sun or Willis B. Powell's
influence.
