SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan removing provisions and maps associated with implementing school
concurrency, amending certain provisions of the Capital Improvements Element for consistency with Florida State Statutes and
updating Map A-3 Future Land Use: 2018, Map A-14 Citywide Design Structure and Map E-1 Coastal Storm Area (Including
Coastal High Hazard Area), and pass Ordinance 8334-12 on first reading. (CPA2012-04001)
SUMMARY:
In 2011, the Florida Legislature passed the Community Planning Act, which removed state-mandated concurrency
requirements for schools for all local governments. The School Planning Workgroup, which consists of staff from
each of the local governments previously required to implement school concurrency, the School District, and the
Pinellas Planning Council, met in July 2011 to review the legislative changes and options, and subsequently
recommended to the Pinellas Schools Collaborative that school concurrency be discontinued. The Collaborative,
which consists of elected officials from Pinellas County, twelve municipalities, and the School Board, agreed with
the Workgroups recommendation and voted to approve amendments to the Public Schools Interlocal Agreement
in April 2012 that eliminated the sections related to the implementation of school concurrency. At their June 20,
2012 meeting, the Clearwater City Council approved these amendments to the Public Schools Interlocal
Agreement. Amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan are needed to remove references to school
concurrency in several Elements of the Plan.
The Community Planning Act (2011) also revised statutory requirements related to the Capital Improvements
Element. The Act maintained the requirement that the Capital Improvements Element be reviewed annually, but
updates to the schedule of capital improvements may now be processed by ordinance and will not be considered
amendments to the Plan, thereby eliminating the need to submit the annual update for state review. The Act also
eliminated the requirement for the element to demonstrate financial feasibility. Therefore, this amendment revises
the Capital Improvements Element by modifying policies related to these provisions.
Several miscellaneous map items are also included within this proposed amendment.
Proposed Ordinance 8334-12 includes the following amendments:
Amends the table of maps for language to be consistent with the proposed amendments in this ordinance.
Deletes portions of the Future Land Use Element, Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Capital
Improvements Element and Public School Facilities Element related to school concurrency implementation.
Amends language in the Coastal Management Element that references map E-1 to be consistent with the
new proposed maps E-1A and E-1B (Coastal Storm Area).
Cover Memo
Amends the Capital Improvements Element to be consistent with Florida State Statutes by removing
Item # 3
requirements that an update to the schedule of capital improvements necessitates an amendment to the
comprehensive plan and that this schedule of improvements be financially feasible. The financially feasible
requirement is replaced with a provision requiring that projects listed in the 5-year schedule be identified as
funded or unfunded and given a level of priority.
Amends Map A-3 Future Land Use: 2018 to have consistent legend nomenclature with the table after Policy
A.2.2.1 (updating the Water Water/Drainage Feature classification and the Drainage Feature Overlay
classification).
Amends Map A-14 Citywide Design Structure which showed La Belle Plaza, a Multi-Neighborhood
Shopping Center located on the east side of Highland Avenue north of Belleair Road, as extending all the
way to Nursery Road. The proposed amended map depicts the correct parcel boundaries of La Belle Plaza
with the northern parcel boundary lying approximately 315 feet south of Nursery Road.
Amends Map E-1 Coastal Storm Area by replacing it with two maps, one showing the west, or Gulf, side of
the City (E-1A) and the other showing the east, or Bay, side of the City (E-1B). In 2010, the Florida
Department of Community Affairs officially recognized the most recent update of the Sea, Lake, and
Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model, prepared by FEMA in 2009,
which is used in determining the location of the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) and the Citys Coastal
Storm Area (CSA). With the release of the updated model, new maps must be adopted into local
comprehensive plans.
Deletes all maps associated with the Public School Facilities Element. These maps will be moved to the
Comprehensive Plans data and analysis section, thereby eliminating the need to amend the plan when this
map series is updated.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed amendment at its meeting on July 17, 2012
and unanimously recommended the amendment for approval.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Community Development Code addressing the general provisions of the Code, docks, fences and
walls, tree removal permits, temporary uses, Level One (minimum development standards) approvals, and definitions and pass
Ordinance 8349-12 on first reading.
SUMMARY:
The Clearwater Business Task Force (BTF) was established on April 7, 2011 by the City Council to provide feedback on the
current rules and regulations affecting businesses and business development. The BTF submitted its final report to City Council on
August 29, 2011. The report consisted of 71 recommendations to change public perceptions about being business friendly,
streamline development application processes and enable greater signage flexibility. City staff reviewed each of the
recommendations and presented to City Council ideas as to how some of them may be adopted as well as a prospective timeframe
for these adoptions to occur.
At the direction of the City Council, staff prepared a text amendment to the Community Development Code (CDC) addressing the
more straightforward recommendations of the BTF as well as a few amendments proposed by staff. These changes were reviewed
by the Community Development Board (CDB) at its meeting of December 20, 2011, at which time the Board recommended the
approval of the amendment. City Council passed and adopted the Ordinance on second reading on February 2, 2012. Staff is now
proposing a second text amendment to address further recommendations of the BTF or that would otherwise assist in fulfilling
their goals, as well as additional items proposed by staff.
Ordinance 8349-12 includes amendments addressing numerous sections of the CDC; some of which are a result of the
recommendations of the BTF while others are initiated by staff. Below is a summary of the substantive amendments included in
the ordinance.
Increases the maximum amount of floor area able to be occupied by accessory uses to an overnight accommodation use in the
§
Tourist District from 10 percent to 15 percent through the Flexible Standard Development (FLS) process, and from 15 percent
to 20 percent through the Flexible Development (FLD) process;

§
tiers. The use allows for interchangeability between certain uses within a retail shopping center development;
Separates the Bars use from the current Nightclubs, Taverns and Bars use, and provides for definitions that distinguish the uses
§
from one another;
Expands the Mixed Use into the Minimum Standard and Flexible Standard Development (FLS) tiers of the Commercial (C)
§
District;
Modifies the lot area, lot width, maximum height, front setback and/or rear setback for the Office, Restaurant, and Retail Sales

Districts so that more applications may be processed administratively;
The off-street parking requirements for Assisted Living, Community Residential Homes, Detached Dwellings, Medical
§
Clinics, Nursing Homes, and Offices are modified to be consistent throughout the CDC;
The off-street parking requirement for Restaurants is reduced from 15 to 12/1,000 square feet of gross floor area with the
§
exception of the Downtown (D) District where the parking is reduced from 12 to 10/1,000. The reductions in off-street parking
rates are based upon staff experience with development proposals, as well as comparisons to other municipal codes and
Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) parking generation data;
Allows the establishment of Restaurant and/or Retail Sales and Services uses on those properties within the Retail and
§
Beach by Design
Restaurant District of without the provision of off-street parking;
Allows swimming pools/decks that are accessory to an Attached Dwellings, Overnight Accommodations, or Resort Attached

CITY OF CLEARWATER
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Amendments to the Community Development Code Ordinance Number
8349-12
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
BACKGROUND:
The Clearwater Business Task Force (BTF) was established on April 7, 2011 by the City Council
to provide feedback on the current rules and regulations affecting businesses and business
development. The BTF submitted its final report to City Council on August 29, 2011. The
report consisted of 71 recommendations
City staff reviewed each of the recommendations and presented to City Council ideas as to how
some of them may be adopted as well as a prospective timeframe for these adoptions to occur.
At the direction of the City Council, staff prepared a text amendment to the Community
Development Code (CDC) addressing the more straightforward recommendations of the BTF as
well as a few amendments proposed by staff. These changes were reviewed by the Community
Development Board (CDB) at its meeting of December 20, 2011, at which time the Board
recommended the approval of the amendment. City Council passed and adopted the Ordinance
on second reading on February 2, 2012.
Staff is now proposing a second text amendment to address further recommendations of the BTF
or that would otherwise assist in fulfilling their goals, as well as additional items proposed by
staff.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 8349-12 includes amendments addressing a variety of different sections
of the CDC. As noted above, some of the amendments were recommended by the BTF while
others are being initiated by staff. The following is a discussion of the proposed amendments
based upon the recommendations of the BTF:
Opportunity #2
18. Accessory use for overnight accommodations for mid-priced hotels (not destination resorts):
Allow 20% of gross floor area as accessory use before additional parking is required or
amend definition of "accessory use" to exclude required floor area pursuant to hotel
franchise agreements such as gift shops, business centers, fitness centers, supporting
restaurants and meeting space.
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 1
Attachment number 2 \nPage 2 of 8
Presently, accessory uses to an overnight accommodations use are permitted to occupy a
maximum of ten percent of the gross floor area of the development when the application is
processed as a Flexible Standard Development (FLS). This ordinance proposes to increase this
maximum to 15 percent [page 16 of Ordinance]. When the application is processed as a
Flexible Development (FLD), accessory uses are currently permitted to occupy between ten and
15 percent of the gross floor area, but only when additional parking is provided for that portion
exceeding ten percent. This ordinance would increase these figures from ten percent to 15
percent, and from 15 percent to 20 percent [page 21 of Ordinance]. While the proposed changes
are not exactly what was recommended by the BTF in their final report and referenced above,
this is consistent with the direction given to staff by City Council.
Opportunity #3
4. When a tenant of a multi-tenant property requires a Level 2 approval, do not require that the
entire multi-tenant property be brought through the development review process as a result
of the tenant.
Staff has taken two different approaches to address this recommendation. The first approach is
to establish the use of Retail Plazas [pages 4, 7-8, 10-11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22-24, and 41 of
Ordinance] in the Commercial (C), Tourist (T), and Downtown (D) Districts. Retail Plazas
specifically address the multi-tenant building/property aspect of the recommendation and will
-tenant
buildings/properties. This interchangeability would not require the submittal of any Level One
or Level Two application in order to change the use of a tenant space from/to any of the
following uses: Governmental, Indoor Recreation/Entertainment, Office, Restaurant, Retail Sales
and Service, and Social/Community Center. Other uses, such as: Bars, Medical Clinics,
Nightclubs, and Places of Worship may also be incorporated into Retail Plazas subject to their
approval through the applicable Level One or Level Two approval process and meeting their
respective flexibility criteria. Retail Plazas will be permissible through the Minimum Standard,
FLS, and FLD tiers in the C District; the FLS and FLD tiers in the T District; and the FLS tier in
the D District.
The second approach taken by staff is based upon the acknowledgement that changes of use may
be proposed whereby conformance with all of the applicable general and specific requirements
set forth in Article 2 may not be applicable or appropriate. In such a situation, staff has proposed
parameters based upon the differences in development standards between the existing and
proposed uses whereby the change of use may be permitted as a Level One (minimum standard)
provided that the site is brought into compliance to the greatest extent practicable with the
parking and landscape standard set forth in Article 3 [pages 39-41 of Ordinance].
The following amendments, while not specifically recommended by the BTF, are in keeping
with the goals of the BTF to provide for a more streamlined and efficient process, and are being
initiated by staff:
Accessory Dwellings
1. [pages 15, 27 and 28 of Ordinance]
In the O District, Accessory Dwellings are presently allowed in the FLS and FLD tiers;
however the development standards and flexibility criteria do not differ between the two
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 2
Attachment number 2 \nPage 3 of 8
tiers. Therefore, this Ordinance will delete Accessory Dwellings from the FLD tier. In
addition, this use is also permitted in the T District in the FLS tier. However, while the CDC
sets forth development standards for the use, it does not set forth flexibility criteria. This
Ordinance will establish those flexibility criteria.
Mixed Use
2. [pages 7-9, 11, 14, 19, 23-24 and 28 of Ordinance]
In an effort to encourage the development of mixed use projects, the proposed Ordinance
expands Mixed Use into the Minimum Standard and FLS tiers of the C District. In the FLS
tier of the T District, flexibility is provided for the minimum lot area development standard
consistent with what is already allowed in the FLD tier. These changes may also have the
effect of enabling some applications to be processed administratively and therefore allow
new development or changes of use to occur quicker than at present. The off-street parking
requirement for the use is also changed to be consistent across each of the Districts in which
the use is permissible (C, T, D and O).
Nightclubs, Taverns and Bars
3. [pages 3-4, 7, 9, 11-15, 19-20, 23-24, 33-34 and 41 of
Ordinance]
The Bars aspect of this use will be split off into its own use type, but will retain the same
development standards and application processes as the use would currently have in the
CDC. The purpose of this split is to make required advertisements of these uses easier to
understand as Nightclubs and Bars can have diverse impacts on a surrounding area. The
proposed Ordinance adopts a definition for the Bars use, as well as adopting a revised
definition for Nightclubs.
Offices, Restaurants, and Retail Sales and Services
4. [pages 8, 14-15, and 26 of Ordinance]
In an effort to process more applications administratively and thereby allow new
development or changes of use to occur more expeditiously than at present, the Ordinance
will reduce the minimum lot area and lot width requirements within the FLS tiers for the
Office, Restaurant, and Retail Sales and Services uses within the C and T Districts to
resemble their FLD counterparts. In addition, the maximum height allowance will be
increased in the C District, and the front setback reduced in the T District in the same
manner. In the O District, the minimum lot area, lot width, front and rear setbacks will be
reduced and the maximum height increased for the Offices use to resemble its FLD
counterpart.
Residential Shelters
5. [pages 4, 6 and 29-30 of Ordinance]
Residential Shelters are presently permissible in the FLD tier of the MHDR District; however
this use will be deleted from the district as the use has been determined to be inconsistent and
inappropriate for the district. Residential Shelters are also permissible in the FLS tier of the
Institutional (I) District. The use will be retained in this appropriate district; however the
criterion that the parcel not be located within the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan
area.
Self Storage
6. [pages 34 and 35 of Ordinance]
The Self Storage use is presently permissible within the FLS and FLD tiers of the IRT
District. While the development standards are different between the two tiers (minimum lot
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 3
Attachment number 2 \nPage 4 of 8
area and maximum height), the FLD tier is more stringent and therefore any request for this
use would never elevate to this tier. As such, this Ordinance will delete the use from the
FLD tier.
Veterinary Offices / Animal Grooming / Animal Boarding
7. [pages 3, 8, 10-13, 24-25, 31-
33 and 41-42 of Ordinance]
The Veterinary Offices aspect of this use will remain without any changes. However,
Animal Grooming will be removed from this use type and relocated into the Retail Sales and
Services use, and Animal Boarding will be established by itself. Animal Boarding will
continue to be a permissible use in the C (FLD), D (FLD) and IRT (FLS) Districts.
8.Off-Street Parking
[pages 5, 7-8, 11, 14-15, 19, 23-24, 30, 32 and 34 of Ordinance]
The proposed Ordinance will make several changes to the off-street parking requirements
throughout the Code. In the MHDR District, the off-street parking requirements for Assisted
Living, Community Residential Homes, Detached Dwellings, and Nursing Homes will be
changed to be consistent with the requirements found in other districts.
In the C and T Districts the off-street parking requirement for Medical Clinics will be
changed to be consistent with the requirement found in other districts.
In the C and T Districts the off-street parking requirement for Offices will be reduced from 4
to 3/1,000 square feet of gross floor area. This will be consistent with the current
requirement in the D, O and IRT Districts.
In the C, T, D and IRT Districts the off-street parking requirement for Restaurants will be
reduced from 15 to 12/1,000 square feet of gross floor area with the exception of the D
District where the parking will be reduced to 10/1,000. The reductions in off-street parking
rates are based upon staff experience with development proposals, as well as comparisons to
other municipal codes and ITE parking generation data.
9.Footnotes
[pages 8-9, 12, 15, 19, 26, and 31-34 of Ordinance]
The footnote denoted by an asterisk (*) in the C, O, and IRT Districts is being deleted as it is
no longer needed based upon amendments adopted under Ordinance No. 8310-12. In
addition to the above, the remaining footnotes in the C District are needed for consistency
with the Countywide Plan Rules.
In the T District there are two footnotes being added. The first footnote allows the
establishment of Restaurant and/or Retail Sales and Services uses on those properties within
the boundaries of the Retail and Restaurant District of Beach by Design without the provision
of off-street parking. This allowance is based upon language within Beach by Design
acknowledging that off-street parking is not envisioned to be provided on each individual
development site, but rather within a parking garage for the entire District. The second
footnote allows swimming pools/decks that are accessory to an Attached Dwellings,
Overnight Accommodations, or Resort Attached Dwellings use on Clearwater Beach to be
permitted with a rear setback of zero feet. This is based upon several development
applications over the years that have requested such flexibility despite the provision of such
an accessory element being widely accepted as a standard for the use, and further that its
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 4
Attachment number 2 \nPage 5 of 8
location at the rear of the development is quite standard as a predominance of the properties
would have waterfront access or views.
In the IRT District there is one new footnote as well as amendments to two other footnotes.
The new footnote, for the new Bars use, occurs in the FLD tier and is needed for consistency
with the Countywide Plan Rules, and is consistent with the existing footnote for Nightclubs,
which this use was considered a part of previously. The first amendment to the footnotes
occurs with footnote (4) in the Minimum Standard tier and adds language that the Office use
is not permissible as a Minimum Standard use when located in the Industrial Limited (IL)
future land use plan category. This is based upon the following existing flexibility criterion
for Offices:
The proposed use of the parcel shall be related to the uses permitted in the district
and shall include, but not be limited to, office uses related to scientific or industrial
research, product development and testing, engineering development and marketing
development, corporate offices provided, however, that they do not provide services
or uses to the general public on the premises, and such other office uses, including
support services, as well as uses which are accessory to and compatible with the
permitted uses. Support services for the purposes of this zoning district shall be
defined as companies that supply services utilized wholly by other companies located
in this zoning district.
Given this existing language, it was determined that the Office use should have some level of
review to ensure compliance, and thus should not be permissible as a Minimum Standard use.
The second amendment to the footnotes occurs with footnote (8) in the FLS tier and simply
moves the second sentence of the footnote to the end in order to eliminate potential confusion
between the two future land use plan categories referenced.
Docks
10. [page 35 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment will clarify what has always been standard practice, and what
that only one dock
structure is permitted for a single-family or two-family dwelling. The amendment also
provides language dealing with the event that two or more properties each already having a
dock are combined.
Fences and Walls
11. [pages 36-39 of Ordinance]
There are numerous changes/modifications to the CDC with regard to fences and walls, most
of which are minor in nature. These changes are as follows:
Section 3-801. The purpose and applicability statement is amended to delete the exception
language pertaining to earth/water retaining walls as these amendments adopt language
regarding such.
Section 3-804. This Section is amended to clarify the rules regarding the placement of
fences/walls. Language pertaining
fence heights are relative to the fences/walls location to the principal structure and not
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 5
Attachment number 2 \nPage 6 of 8
relative to its location on the property. The exception provisions provided for corner lots and
double frontage lots are also amended to add exceptions for those properties adjacent to
arterial/collector rights-of-way. Language is also added regarding the maximum height for
retaining walls, and regarding the maximum height when combining/stacking fences, walls,
landscape berms or retaining walls.
Section 3-805. This Section is also amended to clarify the rules regarding the placement of
fences/walls as discussed previously. The language regarding vacant lots is revised to allow
owned landb-807.
Section 3-
-805. The language
regarding subdivisions is also amended to allow for the installation of a six-foot high
fence/wall around the perimeter of a residential subdivision.
Tree protection
12. [page 39 of Ordinance]
The amendment will formally establish an expiration date for tree removal permits at six
months from the date of issuance, and allow for extensions to those permits.
Temporary Uses
13. [page 39 of Ordinance]
The amendment will establish a new temporary use, Temporary Buildings During
Construction. The purpose for this temporary use is to allow for businesses that are in the
midst of renovations to be able to bring temporary buildings onto the site and still be able to
function/operate. The amendment also establishes the criteria by which the use is allowed,
which includes the criterion that the temporary building is only allowable for the duration of
an active building permit and that the building(s) must be removed prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Completion/Occupancy.
Definitions
14. [pages 41-42 of Ordinance]
Animal Grooming or Boarding uses removes the references to grooming (grooming use
being included in the Retail Sales and Services definition). The definition will now only
pertain to the use of Animal Boarding.
Bars establishes a definition for the new Bars use that is clearly distinct from the
definition of Nightclubs. One provision for the definition is that seating/tables must
account for at least 75% of the total gross floor area of the use.
Nightclubs establishes a definition for the new Nightclubs use that is clearly distinct
from the definition of Bars.
Nightclubs, Taverns and Bars this definition is deleted from the Code.
Retail Plazas establishes a definition for the new Retail Plazas use, which is intended to
allow for a building or group of buildings partitioned into separate units and designed for
a variety of uses including Governmental, Indoor Recreation/Entertainment, Office,
Restaurant, Retail Sales and Services, and Social/Community Center that can be
interchanged without the need for a new approval each time the use changes. The
definition also allows for Bars, Medical Clinics, Nightclubs, and Places of Worship to be
Item # 4
Community Development Board July 17, 2012
TA2012-06007 Page 6
Attachment number 2 \nPage 7 of 8
incorporated into Retail Plazas subject to their approval through the applicable Level One
or Level Two approval process and meeting all respective flexibility criteria.
Retail Sales and Services includes Animal Grooming among the uses under the
umbrella of Retail Sales and Services.
Temporary Buildings During Construction establishes a definition for the new
temporary use that allows for a temporary building to be used to accommodate the
principal use of a property when said building is being renovated.
Vehicle Sales, Limited adds the installation of accessories or audio equipment to the
uses under the umbrella of Limited Vehicle Sales.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Annexation, Initial Land Use Plan Designation of Residential Urban (RU) and Initial Zoning Atlas Designation of
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 3075 and 3087 Cherry Lane (Consisting of a portion of the south of the
southeast of the northwest of the northwest of Section 16, Township 29 South, Range 16 East); and pass Ordinances 8352-
12, 8353-12 and 8354-12 on first reading. (ANX2012-05004)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.248-acre property consisting of two parcels of land occupied by
two single-family dwellings. It is located on the southwest corner of Cherry Lane and McMullen Booth Road. The
applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City.
The Planning and Development Department is requesting that the 0.489-acres of abutting McMullen Booth Road
right-of-way not currently within the city limits also be annexed. The property is located within an enclave and
is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land
Use Plan designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the
provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City of Clearwater. The closest sanitary sewer line
was extended down the adjacent Cherry Lane right-of-way at the property owners expense. The applicant
has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City
of Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the
district headquarters located at 2851 N. McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will
be provided to this property by Station 49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive. The City has adequate capacity
to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed
annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4: Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban
development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater
Cover Memo
Community Development Code.
Item # 5
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the Citys tax base through the annexation of a variety of
land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties
upon request.
The proposed RU Future Land Use Plan category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per
acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District. The
parcel located at 3075 Cherry Lane meets the Districts minimum dimensional requirements. The parcel
located at 3087 Cherry Lane exceeds the Districts minimum dimensional requirements; however, the
existing structure exceeds the maximum height standards and encroaches into the setbacks established for
Minimum Standard Development in the LMDR District. Therefore, when this property is annexed, the
dwelling will be a non-conforming structure. The proposed annexation is consistent with the Countywide
Plan and the Citys Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the south; therefore the
annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter
171.044.
Review Approval:

appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City has initiated a comprehensive maintenance program to clean, inspect, rehabilitate and repair
existing sanitary sewer pipelines and manholes throughout the City of Clearwater. A key element of
the maintenance program is preventative cleaning and inspecting with closed circuit television to
identify deficiencies in the underground infrastructure. This type of work is performed by a
combination of both City and contract crews in order to meet program goals. The program objective is
to maintain the integrity of the sanitary sewer system and minimize disruptions in service to our
citizens.
April 15, 2010, the Clearwater City Council awarded a contract to Reynolds Inliner, LLC for the
Sanitary Sewer and Televising Inspection per Bid No. 09-0047-UT in the amount of $800,000 with
two one-year extensions, when agreed by both parties.
Reynolds Inliner, LLC has changed their name to Layne Inliner, LLC and agreed to honor the pricing
with the same terms and conditions of the contract to provide continued services to the City.
The City Utilities staff will coordinate with in-house crew progress and direct the contractor, on an
ongoing basis, to those areas as prescribed in the preventative maintenance schedule to meet
program goals.
Sufficient revenue is available in Utility Renewal and Replacement project 0327-96665, Sanitary

Authorize the City Attorney to hire Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez and Hearing to represent the City in the case of John Klinefelter
et. al v. City of Clearwater for the total estimated amount of $50,000.00. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Individual Fire employees and former employees have filed a combined action in United States District Court alleging that the City
improperly calculated their overtime hours and that they are due additional overtime pay at time-and-a half under the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act. Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that the City improperly used premium payments for idle holiday hours to offset
overtime pay, which would otherwise be due. Plaintiffs are requesting a jury trial. The City has filed an answer and defenses in the
case arguing good faith, statute of limitations [2-3 years], and action in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement [neither
the employees nor the union ever complained about the payroll practices].
The City Attorney has assigned defense of this lawsuit to Tom Gonzalez, Esq. of the law firm of Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez and
Hearing. The estimated cost to defend this suit is estimated to be $50,000.00
The funding for this case is available in and will come out of the City Attorneys professional services budget.
