Ms. Pat Wilson, an owner of property in the vicinity, called Central Permitting Staff recently to ask the board members to visit the site between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. at the end of the month to observe the large number of homeless individuals congregating on nearby properties. I STANDARDS FOR APPROVAUCOMPLlANCE (Plane refer to Sec.41.052 for General Standards and Sec. 41.053 125.1) and 41.053 (28) for Supplementary Standards. The proposal appears to comply with Standards for Approval. The use complies with the land use plan and the Land Development Code regulations; access is restricted to the minimum necessary for appropriate access and conforms to all City codes; noise is not anticipated to be a factor in the proposed uses; site lighting restrictions are recommended to limit glare and 'light trespass "; landscaping will meet or exceed City Code requirements; parking will meet City Code requirements; the proposed uses are located in an urban environment and will meet all environmental protection regulations; the proposed uses should not decrease surrounding property values based upon information submitted by the applicant; the proposed buildings and hours of operation are compatible with surrounding uses and developments; and minimum traffic is anticipated from the proposed uses. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas is recommended. STAFF COMMENTS: This is a request on the part of St. Vincent DePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc. and the City of Clearwater to establish a comprehensive facility for the homeless population of our city. The proposed facility includes: • The existing St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen • A residential shelter for the housing of the homeless population • A police substation • Offices and referral services for the homeless The Planning and Zoning Board is asked to consider a public safety facility (police substation) and a residential shelter under this conditional use permit request. The standards for approval for these conditional uses have been addressed above. Based upon staff review of the request, we feel we can support both these conditional uses because they adequately address any potential negative impacts of the proposed use and provide a much needed community service. All standards of approval appear to be met. SUGGESTED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within 6 months of the date of this public hearing. 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and streets rights -of- way prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license. 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas. 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location. RESPONSES TO PLANNING & ZONING BOARD CONCERNS AND ISSUES ON THE CHIP EMERGENCY SHELTER PROJECT ZONING INTENSITY ANALYSIS The Board requested information showing how the intensity of development met City Land Development code intensity (density and floor area ratio) requirements. This information is reflected in the table below. RM12 20,581.05 sq. ft. (.472 acre) CG 1 36,241.92 sq. ft. (.832 acre) PROPERTY VALUE IMPACT 1 residence 48 beds: and 2.260 sa. ft. non- residential (Police Substation and Offices for the Residential Shelter) .47 acre x 12 u/p /a = 18 beds (6 units) 48 beds (16 units) c@ 24 u/p /a = 29,040 sq. ft. of land for this use; and 2,881 sq. ft. non- residential @ 0.4 FAR = 7,201.92 sq. ft. of land for this use Information developed by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office regarding the five year property valuation history in the area within 1000 feet of the subject property was reviewed This study of all properties within 1,000 of the site indicates no specific trend analysis . Of the 287 properties in this area, property values changed as follows for the period from 1992: • 35 stayed the same • 141 increased in property value • 111 decreased in property value A sampling of the largest declines indicated that only 14 properties accounted for 82% of the decreases in property values in the group of 111. These properties included city -owned property, the GTE site and the old Morrison's Cafeteria site. Similar facilities in operation in Orlando and Jacksonville have resulted in substantial crime rate decreases: • The I. M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless, located in downtown Jacksonville, opened in 1995. During the first year of the Center's operation, the area including the Center showed a 13.85% reduction in the crime rate (compared to a 3.4% reduction county -wide) according to the Office of the Sheriff of the Consolidated City of Jacksonville. • In Orlando, just a few blocks from the major tourist attraction Church Street Station, the Central Florida Coalition for the Homeless has built a campus to respond to the needs of the homeless in that community. By 1994, there had been a 40% decrease in misdemeanor crime and nuisance calls in the downtown Orlando area since the opening of the Coalition's Pavilion shelter in 1992. Here in Clearwater, the institution of a registration program at the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen show decreases in several misdemeanor categories in the grid including the Soup Kitchen after the first year of the registration program's operation: Tyne of Call Percentage of Decrease Mentally disturbed 36% Burglary - Business 42% Vandalism/Misch 12% Larceny/Theft 9% Solicit/Panhandle 100% Drunk Pedestrian 47% City Ordinance Violations 7% CHIP members believe that an even further reduction of crime and, importantly, the "perception" of crime in the neighborhood will be accomplished with the establishment of the CHIP shelter and the community policing substation and bicycle patrols. COMPREHENSIVENESS OF APPROACH Some Board members expressed concern that a much more regional, large scale approach was not being taken. In Pinellas County, we use a decentralized approach due to the number of different agencies and support organizations and the fact that there are 25 separate entities of local government in our county; but it is important to note that coordination of effort does occur. Pinellas County's common forum to assess and address the needs of the homeless is the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless, founded in 1985. The Coalition is a network of over 85 social service agencies, local government representatives and human service professionals that work with and advocate for the homeless and the disadvantaged in our area. In addition to meeting the immediate needs of the homeless by providing shelter, food and clothing, the Coalition members work together by sharing resources, forming action groups for advocacy and supporting efforts to end homelessness. The Coalition is an independent, community-based not - for -profit umbrella organization that provides public education, advocacy, program support, capacity building and technical assistance to the homeless service community and provides public awareness on the issue of homelessness. As Pinellas County attempts to meet the needs of its homeless population, the Coalition is the cornerstone of the coordination planning effort. Recognizing its important role as the primary coordinator for homeless issues in Pinellas County, the Coalition has taken the responsibility for the community's short and long term planning for homeless services. In fact, HUD Supportive Housing Program funding applications have been coordinated county-wide through the Coalition for the past two years. Since 1986, the Coalition has also been conducting surveys which describe the demographic characteristics of the homeless population served in Pinellas County. In order to do this more efficiently, the Coalition developed a county-wide intake form used by all homeless shelters in Pinellas County which provides data in a comparable form. The Coalition also surveys homeless service providers every year in order to inventory services provided and identify gaps in services to the homeless, thereby developing a county-wide needs analysis. The Coalition's mission is to end homelessness and return homeless people to self - sufficiency. Agencies that are active in the Coalition provide a host of vital services including outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing with supportive services, food and clothing, jobs and training, family services, protection, legal assistance, advocacy, mental health services, addiction treatment, medical and dental care and ongoing case management for a variety of high risk populations. Through its many activities, the Coalition plays an integral role in the development of the Consolidated Plan for Pinellas County. This plan is developed under the guidance of the Pinellas County Community Development Department for five year periods. The most recent plan is for 1995 -2000. In this county-wide plan the need for 3 new emergency shelter /transitional housing facilities is identified — one for south county, one for mid - county, and one for north county. The planned CHIP shelter has been acknowledged as addressing this need for north county. The CHIP facility will house up to 48 individuals on a daily basis. The capacity of the facility has been determined by the allowable zoning density and by the fact that the Pinellas County homeless philosophy does not support a concentration of homeless population in any one area. It is important to note that while CHIP proposes to follow the Orlando and Jacksonville homeless shelter models in general, there are some differences. First and foremost is the difference in size of facility. CHIP's proposed shelter will house up to 48 persons. Jacksonville's Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless provides emergency shelter, crisis intervention, basic human services and extensive case management for up to 400 homeless men, women, and children daily. Orlando's 3.3 acre campus is a 24 -hour facility which can house up to 700 individuals. The Pavilion section accommodates 500 homeless men, while the Homeless Center section accommodates 200 women, and children. Related to this size difference is the estimate of homeless persons for each community. In Pinellas County, the homeless number approximately 3,200 on any given day. The figures for Jacksonville and Orlando are approximately 2,600 and 2,500, respectively. Therefore, the capacity of CHIP's proposed shelter is much less that the two very large facilities. The Jacksonville shelter is a 30,000 square foot converted warehouse in the downtown area three blocks from the retail district. The Orlando shelter, again, is a large campus in the downtown area just a few blocks from Church Street Station. Further, each of the two larger shelters include an "open air" section for males which has more lax requirements (for example, no case management is required for the first 30 days of stay in Jacksonville). The clients sleep on floor mats which are removed during the day. CHIP's proposed shelter does not include this casual element. All persons staying at the CHIP shelter will be required to participate in the intervention program within a couple of days of arrival. Through the planned intervention program which will be operated by The Salvation Army at the CHIP shelter, homeless clients will receive comprehensive services coordinated through case management by a human services professional. The various agencies participating in the program will be providing alcohol and drug abuse counseling, mental and emotional health counseling, job search and job retention techniques, family counseling, medical and dental services, health related counseling, education planning, budget counseling and planning, assistance in obtaining Social Security benefits and other legal/financial benefits, follow -up and support. The participation of the Clearwater Housing Authority will enhance not only the overall physical facility management but also the placement of clients in transitional housing. The St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen participation will ensure coordination of all feeding programs, including those by other participating groups. The Salvation Army will be coordinating the intervention program and the provision of client services by all agencies. The participation of the City of Clearwater Police Department with a community policing substation on the premises will enhance both the security of the surrounding neighborhood and the shelter clients and facility. An additional component of this issue can be summarized in a question: Will the CHIPS project result in sufficient "bang for the buck" to justify its construction? Here are the facts: • The project is funded by the following groups, avoiding a "city taxpayer only" approach to the issue: St. Vincent de Paul Society, federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding through both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County, federal Community Oriented Police Services ( COPS) Grant funding, and contributions by other agencies. Further, efforts to obtain additional capital and continuing support are ongoing. The project is the City's first comprehensive approach to the homeless issue. Instead of providing for basic food and shelter needs only, the center will offer job placement and counseling services, mental and physical health treatment and referrals, transitory and low /mod housing placement, and family services for qualified individuals and families in a controlled environment. This will allow many of the issues raised by Board members and the public to be addressed.

Clearwater Homeless Intervention Proiect. Inc. (CHIP) A Look At Homelessness at the National, State, and Local Levels ® CHIP's Plan for the Clearwater Emergency Shelter 10/15/96 Homelessness at the National Level In order to understand homelessness at the local level, we must first look at homelessness on both the national and the state levels. According to information reported in Priority: Home! The Federal Plan to Break the Cycle of Homelessness, most recent national surveys which attempt to estimate the homeless population have found prior studies which used point -in -time estimates to be highly misleading. Current methodologies employ "estimates over time" technology which have yielded new insights into the dynamics of homelessness by measuring the turnover in shelters. These new studies exceed prior estimates by a factor of two or more. 'The clear point is that recent studies confirm that the number of persons who have experienced homelessness is very large and greater than previously known or acknowledged." In fact, this report estimates that in the last half of the 1980's, the number of adult homeless persons was between four and eight million nationally. The National Coalition for the Homeless in Washington conservatively estimates that there were 1.8 million people without homes in 1993. Further, the U. S Conference of Mayors' survey of 29 cities in that same year reported a 13% increase in the demand for emergency shelter over the 12 months since the 1992 survey. The following table compares the data from the State of Florida's Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services' Fifth Annual Report to the Governor and Legislature detailing HOMELESS CONDITIONS IN FLORIDA (published in 1994) with national data reported in Priority: Home!. * Only 5 -7% of homeless persons with mental illness need to be institutionalized. Most can live in the community with the appropriate supported housing options (Federal Task Force on Homelessness and Severe Mental Illness, 1992). Serious depression is Page 1 Percent of Florida's Homeless Percent of Nation's Homeless Families 33% 25.4% Single Males 56% 62.3% Single Females 11% 12.3% Suffering From Alcoholism/Drug Abuse 35% 50% Mental Illness* 21% 33% Veterans 24% 30 -45% * Only 5 -7% of homeless persons with mental illness need to be institutionalized. Most can live in the community with the appropriate supported housing options (Federal Task Force on Homelessness and Severe Mental Illness, 1992). Serious depression is Page 1 noted in many studies as one form of mental illness. In these instances, homelessness may be a contributing factor instead of a result of such a condition. Additionally, the federal plan document states that of the homeless families with children, 80% are headed by single females. Further, the document indicates that while homeless youth is not usually surveyed, estimates of 1.3 to 1.6 million homeless youths were calculated. The plan reports that over one -half of the homeless men have not completed high school and about one -third of homeless children are not in school. The document also relates that the average monthly homeless household income is less than $200 nationally. In a 1993 article in American City and County, it was estimated that one in five of the homeless hold steady jobs, but do not earn enough money to pay rent. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, July 1996, the poverty rate in our country is exceptionally high at 14.5% of the population, or 38.1 million Americans, based on the most recent census data. Even more disturbing, 40% of all poor people are children. It is not surprising, therefore, that families with children are among the fastest growing segments of the homeless population. To further compound the problems of homelessness, between 1973 and 1993, 2.2 million low-rent units disappeared from the market (i.e., were abandoned, converted to more expensive units, or had rent increases). Thus the number of low -rent housing units in 1993 totaled 6.5 million. During the same period (1970- 1993), the number of low-income renters increased from 7.4 million to 11.2 million. The resulting shortage of 4.7 million affordable housing units is the largest shortage on record. This gap between the number of affordable housing units and the number of people needing them has created a housing crisis for poor people. A U. S. Conference of Mayor's survey of 26 major urban areas in 1988 found roughly a quarter had no transitional apartments. Also, in two- thirds of the cities surveyed, the wait for public housing was so long that officials stopped taking new names. Facts about Homeless Children and Families (Homes for the Homeless, 1996): ► The average age of a homeless person in America is nine. ► The typical homeless family is a single, 20- year -old mother with two children under the age of six. ► Over one -third of homeless families have an open case for child abuse or neglect; one out of five have lost at least one child to foster care ► Nearly half of homeless children either have witnessed or have been subjected to violence in their home. ► Over half of all homeless children have never lived in their own home. Over 40% have been homeless more than once. Page 2 600,000 families already live in various types of shelters nationwide. 10 times that number are one step away from homelessness. Domestic Violence and Homelessness The majority of sheltered homeless families -- in some areas more than 90% -- are headed by women. One of the leading causes of homelessness among women and children is domestic violence. In fact, a Ford Foundation study found that 50% of the homeless women and children in the U. S. are fleeing abuse. 0 26% of homeless families in Seattle, Washington are homeless because of domestic violence 0 27% of homeless women in Minnesota left their last housing because of abuse. 0 35% of homeless women in New York are survivors of domestic violence. 0 44.6% of the children in emergency shelters in Rhode Island are with mothers who have been battered in the last 6 months; 25% of the sheltered women are fleeing violence at home. 0 31 % of the women in Chicago shelters are there because of partner abuse. 0 24% of the overall homeless population in Wyoming are homeless due to domestic violence. 0 30% of all homeless people in the Maryland regions are homeless because of domestic abuse. Homelessness at the State Level In the State of Florida's Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services' Fifth Annual Report to the Governor and Legislature detailing HOMELESS CONDITIONS IN FLORIDA (published in 1994), the estimated daily homeless population for Pinellas County was 2,919. The report gives state statistics that indicate this population consists of families (33 %), single males (56 %), and single females (11%). These statistics further demonstrate that 66% are new homeless, with chronic or long -term homeless comprising the remaining 34 %. The report further states: ► 73% are state residents and 27% come from other states or countries. ► About 35% suffer from alcoholism or drug abuse. ► 21% are reported as mentally ill. ► 43% suffer from health problems and another 19% are disabled. ► 24% are veterans, 8% are elderly, and 7% are farm workers. ► 54% are white, 36% are black, 6% are Hispanic, and 4% represents other ethnic populations. Page 3 The report goes on to estimate that the homeless population in Florida is growing at the rate of 15% annually-. Homelessness at the Local Level The data below appeared in the Winter 1995 Homeless Survey conducted by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless and was published in January 1995. Please note that the survey was conducted on a single day (January 11, 1995) and used three different data collection methods to target those who use shelters and those who do not. The data were gathered from conventional shelter providers, local soup kitchen /drop -in centers and churches participating in the cold night shelter program. The survey counted only those served by participating members of the Coalition for the Homeless and is not intended to be considered a complete count of the total number of homeless persons in Pinellas County. This survey provides the best available estimate. NOTE: The most ominous data contained in the table is found in the Homeless Unsheltered (a) column. More than 25% of the homeless in Pinellas County are unsheltered and without services. Page 4 tal # To . .

Severe Mental Illness Only 18% Alcohol /Other Drug Abuse Only. 45% Severe Mental Illness and Alcohol /Other Drug Abuse 14% Domestic Violence 23% AIDS /Related Diseases (reported to be the fastest growing segment) 6% Clearwater's Consolidated Plan for the period October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996, determined emergency shelters have a high priority need level for our community. Community agencies have documented the need for homeless shelter facilities. The Religious Community Services, Inc., Emergency Housing Program Director, Ruth Greenslade, wrote a letter (dated May 18, 1995) to the City of Clearwater's Economic Development Department stating that in the six months prior to that date, RCS Emergency Housing had records of turning away 467 qualified families (an average of more than 75 per month) which consisted of 1,429 persons (568 adults with 861 children). Additionally, earlier this year the Homeless Emergency Project reported turning away an average of 20 to 30 persons daily. The proposed CHIP emergency overnight shelter will provide a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families to begin to improve their lives. Each homeless client who stays at the CHIP shelter must participate in the Salvation Army's Homeless Intervention Program which includes case worker review and management. The average stay at the emergency shelter is projected at eight days; by then the client will have been placed in transitional housing. Some homeless persons may return to the emergency overnight shelter under very strict conditions. If a client violates the rules of the shelter, he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses. Page 5 The unique aspect of including a community policing substation at the site will add security for both the clients and the neighborhood. Last year, the Clearwater Police Department with the St. Vincent de Paul Society established a registration program at the soup kitchen. Previously, St. Vincent de Paul had offered their mid -day meals to anyone who walked in off the street, bringing an alarming increase in the number of homeless persons in Clearwater's downtown area and a subsequent increase in the number of misdemeanor crimes reported in that area. This registration program requires all persons seeking services at the Soup Kitchen to provide personal identification and information, as well as have their photographs taken for their files. Any one refusing to comply is then "trespassed" and made to leave the property. After two trespasses, an individual cannot return to the Soup Kitchen for any services, including meals. The registration program at the soup kitchen facility, operational for about a year, is working well. To provide security during the noon feeding time, the Clearwater Police has also assigned one officer to the soup kitchen daily during the feeding hours. The success of just this one program has contributed to significant decreases in several misdemeanor categories when the numbers from 1994 are compared to those of 1995 for the grid which includes the Soup Kitchen: Mentally Disturbed -36% Burglary - Business -42% Vandalism/Misch -12% Larceny/Theft _9% Solicit/Panhandle -100% Drunk Pedestrian -47% City Ord. Violations -7% Through the planned increased law enforcement presence in the community with the inclusion of the community policing substation at the shelter, there will also be fewer homeless persons camping /loitering in the area and, we believe, a further reduction in the associated misdemeanors and property damage. Further, the requirement that persons staying at the shelter be enrolled and active in the Salvation Army Homeless Intervention Program will not attract those homeless individuals who do not want to improve their situations through the intervention program; but it will attract the unhoused persons who do want to find permanent housing, jobs, and stability. Drop -ins will be allowed on a one time basis only with enrollment in the program required for further services. Page 6 CHIP's Plan for Clearwater's Emergency Shelter CHIP Partners Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP) began as a Clearwater City Commission task force in 1993. The major organizations leading CHIP are the Clearwater Police Department, the Clearwater Housing Authority, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and the Salvation Army. A designee from each of these organizations makes up the CHIP Board of Directors. There are also numerous other governmental and social service organizations from the community participating as members of CHIP, advising the board and committed to providing services to CHIP homeless clients: St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores, Pinellas County Mobile Medical Van, Directions for Mental Health, Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project, Religious Community Services, Gulfcoast Legal Services, and others. Additionally, there already exist informal agreements between several of the agencies involved in CHIP to refer and accept referrals from each other. For example, Homeless Emergency Project at Everybody's Tabernacle refers clients to the emergency overnight shelter and accepts referrals from CHIP for transitional housing. Additionally, the Clearwater Housing Authority will accept referrals for transitional housing from CHIP and refer homeless clients to CHIP for emergency overnight shelter. The Veterans' Administration and Job Service of Florida already have working relationships with the current program. Shelter Operations CHIP will operate and appropriately staff the shelter twenty -four (24) hours seven (7) days per week. Day time personnel will include an intake counselor, case manager, and director. At nights and on weekends, the shelter will be staffed by a shelter manager and shelter assistant manager. A total of eight (8) Salvation Army workers will staff the shelter, supervise shelter residents and activities, and provide counseling and programming for shelter residents. A City of Clearwater Community Policing Substation will be located on site. The City of Clearwater has received a grant from President Clinton's COPS initiative to initiate staffing of this substation with six officer positions. Programs for the shelter are based upon a continuum of care and case management. All programs will be provided by the Salvation Army or other agencies /organizations with expertise in the field. Ongoing case management will develop an individualized plan for each client entering the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project. The Salvation Army's Homeless Intervention Program will oversee the continuum of care Page 7 services for CHIP homeless clients. This multi - faceted program is aimed at assisting persons confront the barriers and reasons they have joined the expanding ranks of the homeless. Participants in the program can move through .the various components of the program or they may remain in a component until they desire to move on. Each component provides the client with the opportunity to have immediate physical, mental, and financial problems addressed on a case -by -case basis. As a client advances through the program, a comprehensive plan is established to "mainstream" the individual as a functional member of society. Activities to be provided will include, but not be limited to: Alcohol and drug abuse counseling Mental and emotional health counseling Job search and job retention techniques Family counseling Health and health related counseling Education planning Budget counseling and planning Assistance in obtaining Social Security benefits and other legal /financial benefits Follow -up and support A review of the historical records for the current temporary shelter administered by the Salvation Army indicates that in FY 1994/1995 there were 406 clients at the shelter. For the first six months of FY 1995/1996, there have been 288, or an increase of 41 % on an annualized basis. Approximately 50% of those staying at the shelter entered the intervention program. Impact on Neighborhood The existing housing stock in the neighborhood where the Soup Kitchen is located is currently at risk due to the loitering and camping out of homeless persons. Additionally, there is a negative perception of the community for the same reasons. These situations can be greatly improved through the establishment of a facility to control where homeless persons are staying -- and thereby helping to prevent the current loitering and camping out situations. The proposed shelter will help eliminate and reduce the deterioration of property caused by homeless persons camping and by loitering in the area. The program will provide a stepping stone for CHIP clients to permanent housing, thereby aiding in the provision of suitable housing for low income persons. The shelter will also logically utilize the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen property to provide an emergency overnight shelter for homeless persons adjacent to the kitchen facility and provide space for the delivery of essential support services at the same location. Page 8 In many other shelters, there is no opportunity for the clients to move up from shelter to transitional housing to permanent housing. Because of the intervention program, the CHIP clients will have this opportunity to get back into the "main stream" of society. The agreements for referral services to Religious Community Services, Homeless Emergency Project, and Clearwater Housing Authority all enhance CHIP's ability to help its clients realize this accomplishment According to a study conducted in the late 1980's for the Governor's Planning Council in Illinois, changes in the mean sale price of property after group homes opened in the neighborhood were unrelated to the opening of the group homes. Further, the study found that the opening of a group home did not affect the turnover rates in the surrounding community. A review of other studies on group homes which housed prison - pre - parolees, drug addicts, alcoholics, juvenile delinquents, or former mental patients was also conducted in this study. None of these studies could find any effect on property values or turnover. Information published by the Orlando Coalition for the Homeless indicates that the community experienced a 40% drop in the misdemeanor crime incident rate in the neighborhood housing the homeless campus in just the first two years of operation. CHIP History Because CHIP is so newly formed, its history is not long. The following recap is an overview of CHIP's background. In 1993, based on a recommendation by Chief of Police Sid Klein, the Clearwater City Commission established a task force to determine alternatives for the City to deal with the issues of homelessness within our community. This task force has evolved into CHIP (the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc.). The first chair, former Commissioner Art Deegan was instrumental in developing the task force scope and membership. The current chair, Police Chief Sid Klein, continues to lead the group toward resolution of community homelessness problems. To emphasize the City Commission's commitment to the homelessness issues, Commissioner Ed Hooper serves at the City Commission's current representative. The task force is comprised of a number of government and social service agencies involved with homeless persons and programs throughout the city and the county. Several subcommittees were established to determine alternative sites for an emergency shelter and to discover funding sources for construction of a shelter. In the first year of its operation, the task force helped to create a winter shelter in the STEPS Building located on Cleveland Street. A number of the task force member organizations contributed funds for the winter shelter's operation which was staffed Page 9 entirely by volunteers. With the opening of the winter shelter, a discovery was made -- there was an overwhelming number of homeless persons needing shelter every night. The number seeking shelter disturbingly exceeded all expectations. Only through the cooperation and assistance of Everybody's Tabernacle, the Clearwater Police Department and the Salvation Army was the winter shelter able to operate that first winter. Clearwater Police Department, recognizing the need for an overnight shelter and drop - off center, donated a double wide mobile home for use as an overnight facility. The mobile home was relocated to Everybody's Tabernacle property with Community Development Block Grant funding. The Salvation Army Homeless Intervention Project operated the emergency shelter for the next two years. The fifteen beds provided by this facility have not been enough though -- homeless persons needing shelter have exceeded the shelter's capacity on a daily basis. Earlier this year, the shelter was relocated temporarily to the Salvation Army thrift store building on Pierce Street. As mentioned previously, in 1995 the Clearwater Police Department with St. Vincent de Paul's Soup Kitchen initiated a registration program at the soup kitchen facility which has been successful in reducing misdemeanor crime rates in that area. The inclusion of the community policing substation in the overall CHIP plan will also provide security for the shelter and surrounding neighborhood. The COPS federal grant, as stated before, will be providing the 6 officers staffing this substation. CHIP members understand the 15 -bed emergency overnight shelter cannot remain at The Salvation Army thrift store building. The City's Planning and Zoning Board granted a temporary conditional use permit to allow the emergency shelter to occupy the building for 18 months, when the use will be reviewed. At best, the thrift store property is only a stop -gap for Clearwater's emergency homeless shelter needs. CHIP has continued to explore and develop alternatives for a permanent emergency shelter for the homeless in our community. In an ongoing planning process, CHIP has designed a full service program for homeless intervention which is proposed to be located on St. Vincent de Paul property adjacent to the soup kitchen facility. This program includes a permanent overnight emergency shelter and police substation. CHIP is a non - profit corporation. The board of directors is comprised of one designee from each of the four major organization participants -- Clearwater Police Department, Clearwater Housing Authority, Salvation Army, and St. Vincent de Paul Society. These last three agencies have been established for many years and have had a long history of helping with homeless issues. As mentioned earlier, a number of other governmental and social service agencies are also advising CHIP on homeless issues. Page 10 The CHIP permanent shelter is being designed based on the Orlando homeless campus which is a collaboration between local governments and social service agencies in that community. The Orlando Coalition for the Homeless employs a holistic approach to serving their clients by offering "one- stop- shopping" to the area's homeless. CHIP plans to replicate the Orlando program, including space for the community policing substation and for social service agency workers to work with Clearwater's homeless clients. CHIP's objective is to create a shelter that will serve 48 clients — single males and females, and families. This shelter will serve homeless persons who are in need of services. Clients can obtain food and other essential support services -- but MUST be involved in the intervention program coordinated by the Salvation Army. The CHIP shelter will be a long term full service program for the homeless, a program that will service the city and the county through coordination by social services organizations and law enforcement entities. We believe it is a step toward the permanent solution for a difficult problem.

Mr. Shuford said staff researched far major issues raised at the last meeting, summarizing the results, as follows: 1) Zoning lntetis, — The proposed mixed use of police substation and residential shelter saturates the allowable density so no future expansion is possible; 2) Property Value Impacts -- A five year history of property values for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property, showed no clear indication the soup kitchen has had a significant negative impact; 3) Crime -- Research showed a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of homeless centers in Orlando and Jacksonville; and 4) Comprehensiveness of Approa _h _ Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of locating shelters throughout the County to avoid overburdening any specific area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. Due to the controversial nature of the case, a question was raised whether members absent from the previous hearing may vote on the request today. Ms. Dougall-Sides �. responded absence would not prohibit a member from voting as long as the member was provided opportunity to review the minutes and background information packet. Because the public portion of the hearing had been closed prior to continuance, a question was raised whether the board wished to reopen the hearing to public comment, or receive the requested responses from the applicant alone. Member Mazur moved to reopen Case CU 96 -46 for public comments. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein spoke on behalf of the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project. He expressed concern regarding two issues he wished to note for the record. He stated Member Sickerstaffe's comment at the previous hearing, referring to homeless persons as muscle -bound gorillas, clearly shows a bias. Chief Klein submitted a document reflecting Mr. Bickerstaffe's involvement as a consultant to Clearwater Flying Corporation, owned by Dr. Gilbert Jannelli, one of the property owners contesting the conditional use application. Chief Klein felt such an association constitutes an ethical conflict of interest and asked Mr. Bickerstaffe to recuse himself from voting on this issue, Ms. Dougall -Sides indicated, based on the facts heard today, she did not consider this matter a legal conflict of interest under Florida Statutes. Member Bickerstaffe responded his comments were directed at seasonal street people who choose not to work, but travel here every winter to 'vacation' in Florida's mild weather at taxpayers' expense. He said he intended no antagonism and felt the community should help fun time residents who need assistance. He declined to recuse himself from voting. mpz 11 a.96 2 11;05/96 H (WI?,S F(MN1NL, 4 2A NDN6 '�?-OXO - I I - 0 5--I (V I/� Referring to the & ment submitted with the staff W*Chief Klein reiterated the issues and conclusions as reported by W.

CHIP has worked with Pinellss Corny comprehensively for three rears to follow a planned five -year strategy to karate shelters throughout the County. He stressed the proposed shelter will be strictly tailored to provide homeless interventkxu The proposal meets or exceeds the standards for approval of a conditional use and is a good start toward 'irrproring conditions existing around the soup kitchen. This shelter is the planned replacement for a temporary shelter that has operated without complaint since it was approved by the board. He asked the board to focus on the need for the shelter. Chief Klein responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding a single room occupancy program, funding for the proposed police substation, and how to ensure the substation will remain open once the three -year COPS grant expires. Discussion continued regarding shelter tenancy requirements, alternatives when capacity is reached, and the proposed client registration process. In response to a question, Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets. Discussion ensued regarding history of Chief Mein's involvement with the task force created to study this issue. Concern was expressed the proposal leaves no room for expansion to accommodate a clearly growing need. The applicant was strongly urged to consider another location where the surrounding uses and the zoning are more compatible with a homeless shelter. Brief discussion ensued regarding reasons for the crime rate decrease on a neighboring convenience store property. One person spoke in support of the application, stating the focus has been steered away from the real issue. The shelter is not the problem, but the solution to the problem caused by soup kitchen visitors. Putting a shelter a mile or two away from the soup kitchen will not solve existing problems in the residential and commercial areas. One letter from the soup kitchen president was submitted in support, citing additional details about the proposed shelter. Fifteen persons spoke in opposition to the application, reiterating many concerns expressed at the previous hearing regarding the adverse impact on the business and residential community. Additional concerns were cited as follows: 1) a financial institution has delayed financing a local property purchase pending the decision in this case; 2) fears of life endangerment; 3) difficulty selling tourist related businesses; 4) business vehicle trespass, vandalism, and fears of robbery; 5) transients bypassing the registration process; 6) trespassers, illegal activities, and personal belongings hidden in bushes on nearby residential properties endangering the health safety and welfare of neighborhood children; 7) request for more complete statistics regarding declining property values and numbers of people fed during the winter, 8) an organizational effort may be underway to relocate the soup kitchen; 9) request for a three year trial period, if approved, to ensure the police substation remains after grant funding nms out; 10) sufficient appropriate use exists on the subject and surrounding properties; 11) frequency and numbers of soup kitchen meals served to more than 180 people daily; 12) actual versus assessed property values; 13) property owners cease to report crimes experienced frequently and /or repeatedly over a long period of time, affecting accuracy of the police calls reports; 14) problems have quadrupled since the soup kitchen opened; 15) more homeless people will come to the area if they know they may find a place to mpz 11 a.96 3 11/05/96 sleep; 18) irnaufflcierx rg, vehicular and pedestrian scoo*71 many street Cho ass people to be homeless and are cresting another welfare generation; 181 proposed Ater zonirng and the inappropriate location next door to a bar; 19) Chief Klein may have a firwidd corNict of / interest because he stands to get more police officerrs; 201 seniors must board up windows to l feel safe in their homes and are not able to sear thew businesses and nears; and 21) a central approach would better contain the objectionable behaviors. fine letters, two handouts and two petitions containing approadmately 38 signatures, were submitted in opposition to the request, restating the above concerns. One photograph was submitted showing debris, bedding, and waste an a sidewalk outside a commerdal property. An Associated Prose newspaper article reported Justice Department grants funded many additional Florida police officers who only appear on paper. One supporter spoke in rebuttal, stating not all of the 180 people fed daily at the soup kitchen are homeless. He reiterated the shelter and the police substation are the solutions, not the problems. Six objectors spoke in rebuttal, restating many earlier concerns plus the following: 1) problems persist despite frequent police visits to the soup kitchen; 2) The location is not appropriate and 48 beds are not sufficient; 3) Reverse discrimination is being practiced against the taxpayers; and 4) funding is not in place to continue the operation after the first three years. Chief Klein issued a final statement and responded to questions from the board. He felt a three year trial period is an acceptable compromise. He said, if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be dosed. He reiterated the property owners have met or exceeded every standard for approval for conditional use of their land. Regarding proof the use will not be detrimental to assessed values, he noted no negative pattern exists, but he cannot predict the future. He discussed the crime rate, hours of operation, and shelter supervision. Police officers will staff the shelter during peak hours, and cover the streets where they are needed the rest of the time. He asked the board not to focus on what can be accomplished by six new officers, but how they will supplement the policing community on duty around the dock. In response to questions it was indicated a full review of the case would occur at the end of any trial period. Chief Klein said the three years' Federal funding is not contingent upon the officers, but is intended to build the shelter. Public discussion was dosed and board discussion ensued. One member said the issue is not the combined use, but how the proposed use will impact surrounding property. The property owner has met the burden of showing the impact on surroundings and the potential benefit to the community. The shelter would be making a huge cornmitment by risking their operation on a three year trial period. One member suggested more perimeter lighting, no trespassing signs, a public relations committee to ease tensions with neighbors, and adequate sidewalk lighting. If one person gets a fresh start from the facility, the project will be worthwhile because how we deal with our homeless is important. mpz 11 a.96 4 11/05/96 315 One member said voting agannst the proposal would leave the area as it is, while voting in favor would increase police presence in the area. One member said the decision must be based on whether the appicant has sham the standards of approval am met. The applicant has not shown the use will have no detrimental effect, or that a benefit will result. A question was raised rogarding how the property value pocein! -- am obtained and whether the numbers are accurate, if property owners give up reporting crimes after a while. One member said surrounding property owners should not be asked to set aside their potential for increase in favor of people who contribute nothing to the community. The proposal has not had sufficient long range planning, the site is too small, and the use is not compatible with surrounding uses. The existing police force can and should take care of the existing problem without a shelter. One member said the applicant has met the burden of proof and called for a motion. The organizations involved have a lifelong commitment to dealing with the homeless issue and, with proper oversight, will be able to make a positive impact. One member said it is difficult to vote because of acquaintance with Chief Klein and many homeless people. Concern was expressed a banker was withholding financing pending a decision on the shelter. Reference was made to a nightclub in Momingside the City had to purchase and close because it was a nuisance to the adjacent residential community. Concerns were expressed with accepting a Federal grant and subjecting the neighborhood to a project that the City might have to purchase after three years. It was suggested to consider building a police substation alone. General discussion ensued regarding the issues. W. Shuford said staff's research indicated crime goes down when a comprehensive approach is taken. Since crime and property devaluation are linked, logic would indicate going forward with the plan would not substantially negatively impact surrounding property values. One member felt it likely the shelter and police presence will alleviate crime enough to encourage an upward trend in property values. Another member did not agree and was not willing to risk someone else's property values based on the assumption fencing will solve the problem. It was felt the fears and con cams expressed by the majority of those speaking in opposition are valid and should be considered, unless it is dear benefits exist of which surrounding property owners are unaware. One member pointed out the complaints were associated with the soup kitchen operation. The board has no way to judge the proposed facility because it has no history in the commmity. One member said those who created the mess shown in the photograph are hard core homeless people who are not seeking public help and are not likely to sign up for rehabgtation or detoxification programs. Those who want assistance traditionally seek help from exis&g supporting agencies, like lurches, for temporary lodgings or food. It was indicated many more than 48 people are in need of help and concern was expressed with attracting more people than can be accommodated. It was felt the registration procedure and rules of behavior will be sufficiently strict to discourage any who do not wish to improve themselves. mpz 11 a.96 5 11105/96 ql y l e�f 10 A Rai-- K N~ nerved to approve Item C1, CU 96-46, suVact to me#ft ar 0# IN approval plus the following conditions: 1) The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within dne ono edw from the date of this public hearing; 2) AN site lighting shag be equipped with a 90" cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting win be instahed to better Dsninate the perimeter of the sits adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance Of the requisite occupational license; 3) A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shah be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4) The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5) Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use; 6) Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis; and 7) Fencing to the maximum. height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Some felt fencing is needed to restrict pedestrian access through residential areas. Others felt fencing provides hiding places for criminals. The majority of the board did not support a condition to provide 24 -hour on -site security personnel at the shelter. Concern was expressed the supporters are grasping at a solution and misapplying it. It was indicated conditions are intended to mitigate any adverse effects that might occur, which is not possible due to the human element in this case. The motion was duly seconded. Members Merriam, Baron, Kunnen, and Hilkert voted "Aye% Members Nixon, Mazur, and Bickerstaffe, voted "Nay." Motion carried. The meeting recessed from 5:17 to 5:30 p.m. C2.

Beneke/Tri High Corp /Jamil Salhab (Wanna Save ) o permit package sales of beer and wine (business ownership change) at 1362 Cleveland St, Overbrook Sub, Blk 1, Lots 8 -11, zoned CG (General Commercial). CU 96 -14 Mr. Shuford presented written background information, stating this conditional use was approved on April 2 subject to conditions, including restriping the parking lot and a six -month trial period due to concerns regarding the high number of police calls. The police calls have been reduced by one -half, and the applicant has made a good faith effort to restripe the parking lot. The Traffic Engineer required restriping again to better meet code. As the applicant has been very cooperative, and conditions support the request, Staff recommended approval with three conditions. r mpz10b.96 1 10/15/96 C3. Society of St Vincent de Paul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc (St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and proposed CHIP Shelter) to permit (1) public safety facility - police substation; and (2) residential shelter at 1339, 13341 & 1345 Park St. Brookwood Terrace, Blk 6, part of Lots 1, 2, 9 -13 & N %: vacated st. and Tagerelli Sub, Blk 2, Lots 2 -4 and Overbrook Sub, Blk 6, Lots 7 -10 & unplatted land to the South, zoned CG (General Commercial). CU 96 -46 Mr. Shuford presented written background information, stating the applicant is requesting two conditional uses to expand the soup kitchen operation by adding a police substation and 48 -bed homeless shelter with office space.. He said the applicant will explain in detail how comprehensive treatment and community -wide effort reduces crime and does not negatively affect property values. The staff report addressed how the proposal meets each of the standards for approval. To alleviate a concern regarding potential foot traffic through residential areas, sidewalk access from Cleveland street is recommended. An 11 -page report from the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP) profiled homelessness at the national, state, and local levels. The report outlined a plan for the Clearwater Emergency Shelter operations, potential impact on the neighborhood, and CHIP history. Police Chief Sid Klein, speaking as CHIP Chair, introduced members of the CHIP board of directors. He acknowledged other supporting organizations present. He reviewed the seriousness of the homeless problem, formation of CHIP, funding sources, and needed services. He said funding is in place for a police substation with six officers and a sergeant. At a recent community meeting, concern was expressed regarding potential impacts on the neighborhood. He said the soup kitchen will remain at its present location, even if the shelter is not built. Controls will be established to register clients and require their participation in a homeless intervention program. Shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville have experienced decreased crime and increased property values where similar shelters were built. While he sympathizes with the public concerns, he said a particular local shelter turns away 30 to 40 people a day because of insufficient room. He stressed the need for a comprehensive outreach program, stating the City's transient and homeless situation will not change without a proactive approach. CHIP and other represented agencies are committed to this program for the long term. Chief Klein said the project's long range objective is to locate local social service agencies at the 48 -bed shelter on an outreach basis. In response to a concern the shelter will attract more homeless, Chief Klein said they already are here. The shelter will allow the community to deal constructively with transients and homeless. Registration programs have been proven to decrease transient populations because those who do not want to be identified generally move to other communities. Barbara Green, administrator for Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project (HEP), stated she has never received a complaint letter in the 30 years she has run a homeless shelter. She said street people are advised of the rules when they arrive; they cannot eat or stay unless they follow the rules. As a CHIP advisory committee member, and Director of the State Coalition for the Homeless, she described homeless living conditions in other parts of the State and commended Clearwater for attempting to create a more positive approach to the problem. She encouraged board approval, noting four powerful organizations have endorsed the shelter. mpz10b.96 3 10./15/96 Deborah Vincent, Director of Clearwater Housing Authority, stated the proposal will not be a flop house, but a specialized program using a holistic approach to help the homeless, in a controlled environment. She detailed the opportunities, resources and follow -up that will be provided. Mary Lou Guthart, President and Director of St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen, said soup kitchen operations have improved since the Police Department became involved in June 1995. Troublemakers are not allowed to eat, and often relocate. She said the police substation will not be built without the shelter. She felt officers on bicycle patrol will benefit the neighborhood. Major John Needham, of the Salvation Army, has been conducting a homeless program for several years. He was excited about this cooperative effort, its resources and benefits. Vionette Perry stated it is time to put a stop to the "not- in -my- back - yard" attitude. She wants to see transient problems controlled instead of ignored. She stressed the police presence has improved her neighborhood and an increase of patrol officers will benefit a larger area. She said other local neighborhoods have improved safety due to increased policing. Ed Brandt, Director of the Salvation Army Homeless Intervention program, said the Salvation Army strives to help homeless people become taxpaying citizens. He said most t people are homeless because they lack money, not because they abuse alcohol or drugs. i He said many decent citizens are one paycheck away from being homeless. He responded to questions regarding the program's operation, including the number of guests, average length of stay, types of available help, rules, and participant follow -up. He said a St. Petersburg program helps people who wish to return to their homes out of state when they cannot afford the fare. Jonas Brummett strictly opposed expanding the soup kitchen operation, stating his business has experienced break -ins, theft, and vandalism. He had to close his restaurant after one year because of problems at the location. He urged a review of police calls during the past three years. He said panhandlers begging quarters have caused a 20% drop in his self- service car wash business. He said soup kitchen clientele are not interested in the jobs he has offered. He felt the police presence has not helped the neighborhood and will not encourage new business development. Nick Cerrandis stated he is the property and building manager for four lots along Cleveland Street. While he has compassion for the needy, he complained he must clean up after homeless and transients every day. He expressed concern the business and residential community are affected negatively by people who are too sick or inebriated to clean up after themselves. He questioned how bringing more economically distressed people into the area will improve it. He said an industrial location could be obtained for less money and would be more suitable than this high profile redevelopment area. He opposed continuing negative impacts on taxpayers. He doubted a police substation will improve the neighborhood. mpz10b.96 4 10/15/96 Clark Hubbard, said the saloon on his Cleveland Street lot has been open since the 19401s. He questioned the wisdom of putting a soup kitchen just outside the back door. Since the soup kitchen. opened in 1992, his property's assessed value has dropped more than 824,000. He expressed concern the City Commission seems to be treating this proposal as a done deal. He said panhandling and homeless problems have increased dramatically. He requested police calls for the past three years be compared to area conditions three years before the soup kitchen opened. Paul Brian Shuh, stated he and his mother own and operate a business on Park Street near the project. He felt the project's impact would extend beyond the local area. He opposed building a sidewalk from Cleveland Street to the soup kitchen, stating it is ludicrous to believe large businesses will locate downtown with that kind of view. He expressed concern the project is inadequate and will not solve the problem. He suggested the shelter will feed everyone who shows up at mealtime. He said last February, the Salvation Army had promised their 15 -bed temporary shelter would not be permanent. He expressed concern the temporary facility is to be replaced by a 48 -bed permanent facility. He advocated helping the homeless on a much larger scale, such as the Orlando facility where many different service agencies combine their resources. He submitted a three -page letter in opposition. Mary Shuh, president of the aforementioned Park Street business, said the problem is vast, and it is not safe to use public parks, libraries or go downtown, despite the large investment in redevelopment. She urged the board to table this item until the City's new redevelopment director reviews its impact. David Bacon, attorney representing Evergreen Avenue property owners, stated Chief Klein's presentation misdirected the focus which should not be on the special needs of the homeless, the public desire to help, nor the qualifications of facility operators. He said the board should determine if the proposal is a reasonable use of the subject property and if it will adversely impact the property rights of adjacent property owners. He noted property values have declined and any use that further weakens property values is not appropriate. He felt expanding the kitchen will not improve the homeless situation, but will adversely impact a stressed neighborhood. He noted the police substation was proposed to mitigate an existing problem, not solve it. Pat Wilson said she is committed to her Pierce Street property. She pointed out none of the supporters lives near the soup kitchen. She fights a constant battle to keep vagrants off her property. She is tired of cleaning up excrement and seeing people urinate on her property. While she believes in helping the homeless, the surrounding community should not be ignored. She is opposed to funneling foot traffic through residential areas to reach support facilities. She said the soup kitchen created the need for the police substation and six patrol officers on bicycles will not adequately patrol the large area proposed. She does not want to lie to prospective tenants who ask her if the neighborhood is safe. Ms. Wilson submitted a letter in opposition. Martha Champion opposed helping the homeless because she feels everyone can work. She does not want the soup kitchen in her neighborhood. She said the soup kitchen was the first place police looked after her apartment was burglarized. She felt background checks are insufficient for controlling shelter patrons. mpz10b.96 5 10/15/96 Dr. Gilbert Jannelli, owner of adjacent property on Cleveland Street, said the project adversely affects neighborhood commercial properties. He submitted a comprehensive guide to homeless shelters and housing services in Pinellas County, noting the large number of facilities available. He expressed concern the shelter will expand to hundreds of beds after every social service agency dumps their homeless population into Clearwater. He questioned if another shelter is. planned for Morningside, Countryside, or Clearwater beach. He felt the soup kitchen is incompatible in this redevelopment area. He felt no one would want to start a business with a soup kitchen nearby. People dislike visiting his property because of the human waste present almost daily. He claimed his property value has declined $73,000 since 1992. He noted Chief Klein does not live in Clearwater. He questioned if the applicants will provide a written guarantee indicating where the homeless will go when the shelter is full and the source of future funding. Chief Klein spoke in rebuttal to opposition, stating he empathizes with those who experience problems. The police department has been tasked to solve those problems. He responded to several points: 1) CHIP has looked at potential locations for three years and determined no other suitable location exists; 2) Other shelters are full; 3) The shelter will only provide 1 or 2 meals a day. He expressed concern a recent proliferation of charity feeding programs is not helping get homeless off the street; 4) Appropriate staffing will be provided, but the police substation will not be manned with six officers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because the officers will be on patrol throughout the neighborhood, supported by other officers in the vicinity; 5) Regarding property rights and values, he reiterated the homeless have no other place to go. The next component of the homeless program will be to create single room housing where people can stay until they get on their feet; 6) Regarding whether the shelter is a compatible industry, he stated the homeless are humans, not industry; 7) Federal funding is tied to the operation of a homeless shelter and will benefit downtown. Ongoing efforts are underway to ensure adequate future funding; 8) He is committed to finding a solution to the homeless problem in Clearwater, wants to achieve the stated objectives, and felt this project is a good starting point. Mr. Brummett, Mr. Shuh, Mr. Hubbard, Ms. Wilson, and Dr. Jannelli spoke in rebuttal to the supporters, expressing concern with the heavy need for police involvement, fear of setting a precedent for more beds in downtown, the need to hire someone to determine the long range impact and create a more coordinated effort, inadequacy of the proposed police staffing, the need to expand the vision to a much larger scale operation apart from downtown in an industrial area, proximity to downtown residential single and multi - family dwellings and existing alcoholic beverage business, additional deterioration and debris on surrounding properties, and what will happen when current police programs and funding expire. Ms. Wilson submitted seven photographs illustrating debris and deterioration on and about the subject property. Dr. Jannelli submitted a petition with approximately 28 signatures from surrounding business owners in opposition to the proposal. He spoke with two dozen property owners in the vicinity of Everybody's Tabernacle HEP, none of whom had complaints because of the exemplary way Ms. Green runs the program. During his visit, he noticed several properties for sale at a reasonable price, a short distance away from other social service agencies. He challenged Chief Klein to look at obtaining some of these less expensive properties and relocating the project. mpz10b.96 6 10/15/96 Chief Klein issued a final statement on behalf of the applicants. In response to ( questions from one board member, he said funds are not available to buy more property and construct a new feeding facility. He has asked Mrs. Green to consider assuming administration of the project. When .funding for the police facility runs out in three years, the City assumes financial responsibility. Alluding to previous discussion that homeless go where they are fed, the board member advocated closing the downtown soup kitchen and starting a program in an industrial location near Hercules Avenue. It was indicated living near jobs and getting help with transportation to social service agencies makes more sense. Chief Klein responded this issue was studied in depth at the direction of a previous City Commission, and no legitimate reason was found for closing the soup kitchen under the existing guidelines. He firmly reiterated the soup kitchen will stay where it is and the clientele will be regulated. He requested a decision on the issue at hand. The board member expressed concern with rushing the decision, and reiterated the recommendation to move the facility to a location with less impact on the surroundings. One member questioned why the registration process was not implemented years ago and why soup kitchen clientele are not required to clean and maintain the facility, or assist handicapped residents, to help repay the community. Concern was expressed it is not safe to visit the libraries. It was indicated Clearwater has become well known as a haven for transients, due to lenient homeless programs and mild winters. One member expressed concern six officers do not provide adequate staffing. Chief Klein responded to questions regarding officer deployment, hours of operation, number of people fed, details of the registration program, and the need to have the officers on bicycles to get into areas where cars cannot go. One member questioned code requirements regarding zoning, property use, and occupancy. Mr. Shuford responded to questions regarding property acreage, land use impacts, and density calculations under the mixed zoning. He said the project is an outgrowth of the community's direction regarding community policing and neighborhood relationships. He assured the board the property area, density and intensity restrictions will not allow future expansion. Gsneral discussion ensued regarding philosophy of the homeless issue. Board members reiterated their recommendations and concerns. Discussion ensued regarding standards for approval. One member spoke from his experience as an active participant in a charitable food outreach program. He stated he has hired more than 100 people from the HEP program, some of whom have developed into wonderful employees. He stated a food and housing program with the proper restrictions helps, rather than hinders neighborhood conditions. Some members felt a continuance was needed to: 1) gather land use and zoning information regarding the soup kitchen's present location; and 2) investigate another location where the proposal would have less impact on the surroundings and room for expansion. Member Baron moved to continue Item C3, CU 96 -46, for two weeks, to obtain more information regarding density calculations and investigation of an alternate location. The motion was duly seconded. Members Keyes, Merriam, Baron and Kunnen voted "Aye "; Members Nixon and Bickerstaffe voted "Nay." Motion carried. The item was continued to the meeting of November 5, 1996. mpz10b.96 7 10/15/96 CORRESPONDENCE 1997 RK elhita Ffor t 1391 GULF To BAY BOULEVARI) CLEARWATER, FL 34615 Of 800-447-2497, ov m t� 0-) �l_�fF»r �t`71�a� .

Re: C.H.I.P. Shelter Dear Board Members, This is to inform you of some details about the proposed shelter that I don't think you are aware of. The Soup Kitchen purchased the property next to us for the purpose of adding on a store room which we desperately need. When we as a member of the CHIP committee, could not find suitable property for a shelter within the confines of where the need i8 , the Soup Kitchen offered to donate the land for that purpose as long as we could have our store room. as part of the building, The grants we applied for, and received, require matching funding. By putting our three properties under aoUnity of Title" and attaching the shelter to our building we fulfilled this requirement. Also, a dining room, kitchen and meeting room were not needed as those are already available. If you put the shelter in another location the above will have to be added and where will you find matching funding of $450,000? The St. Vincent de Paul Society will have to withdraw their offer of an additional $155,000 as we would still need a store room. A great deal -of money has been spent on surveys, impact fees, architectural and engineering fees. "For I was hungry and you give Me 1W. I was thirsty and you gave Me drink.

I am the Vice President of Genie of Clearwater, Inc, a business located four doors down from the St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen on Park Street in Clearwater. I bear no ill will for the homeless, however, I feel it is my responsibility as a taxpayer and local businessman to object to the proposed addition of a housing facility to the Saint Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen. The following list shows my reasons for concern. 1. Funding 2. Size of problem compared to facility 3. History of the area 4. Broken promises 5. Police substation 6. Redevelopment plan for downtown Problem 1 - Funding The funds for this project are coming mostly if not solely from tax dollars. This is not good. Every year, the number of tax dollars appropriated for such projects diminishes from the federal, state, and local government. I am concerned that funding may dry up for this project without money from the public sector or some sort of guarantees from the government. Everybody's Tabernacle on Betty Lane (a housing facility for homeless families) is funded primarily by the private sector. It seems to me that in order to assure ongoing funding for both facilities, some sort of study should be made to access the capability of the local area to support both facilities before allowing this 48 bed structure to be started. Problem 2 - Size During a meeting presented by Chief Klein on October 10th of this year, he mentioned the vastness of the homeless problem not only in our local area, but statewide and nationwide. The proposed structure will hold a maximum of 48 people. I question the effect this will have on such a massive problem. It is also my understanding that the Salvation Army's current homeless shelter sleeping 20 people on Pierce Street will be shut down when this project is completed. Are we to believe that 28 beds are going to make the difference? Are 28 beds worth an initial investment of over $475,000.00 in tax money? He also stated the intentions of the proposed plan to only house individuals for a maximum of eight (8) days. How much of an effect will this really have? What if the people need to be put into a detoxification program or have mental problems which cannot be solved so quickly? What will happen to the people who want to enter the program but must be turned away due to overcrowding? If it will only take these organizations eight days to help these people enough to get them on their feet and into housing, then is a shelter really warranted? There are too many questions left unanswered after the October.10th meeting for me to be comfortable with this plan. Problem 3 - History of the location For those of you not familiar with the area surrounding the St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen, I must describe to you what has transpired over the last few years. Without dwelling on the litter, refuse and physical damages to personal property done by some of the former guests of the soup kitchen, I ask you to think about the following losses to our local community. All of the five surrounding buildings on Park and Evergreen which were filled with functioning businesses are now vacant along with the restaurant located directly North of St. Vincent's property., Gone with those businesses are jobs, tax dollars, the livelihood of the business owners and landowners. The decline of property values in this area are the most alarming part of this situation. As an example, the property at 1357 Park Street, two doors down from the soup kitchen, was bought twenty years ago by my grandfather for $50,000. After deciding we no longer wanted to care for the property which has been broken into over seven times since the arrival of the soup kitchen, we decided to get rid of the property. After having several real estate agents refuse to even list our property, we sold it for $15,000 to the owner of the adjoining property to the East. Now St. Vincent DePaul wants to bring more of the homeless to our area. What effect will this have on our community? I certainly doubt it will get any better. Problem 4- Broken Promises Time and time again we have not been given the entire truth about the intentions of this facility. When it was first opened, we were deceived about what the building was going to be used for. In February of 1993, people from the soup kitchen came before your board to request a permit to shelter homeless people in the soup kitchen for a month due to cold weather. Ms. Pamela Wiener and Mr. Robert Thue repeatedly told the board and those present at the meeting that this location would not become a permanent shelter. Yet here we are discussing the building of a permanent housing facility on this same piece of land. Problem 5 - Police Substation In the October 10th meeting Chief Klein also discussed the police substation to be located on the premises of the proposed addition to the Soup Kitchen. He said there will be six officers dedicated to this facility. He then went on to explain they would patrol the area on bicycle. This area was later described to contain an area encompassing the library to Crestlake Park. The first question I must ask is the effectiveness of such a small contingency of officers. It was my understanding that only a portion of these officers would be on duty at the same time. Assuming these officers will be working eight hour shifts, that would leave two officers to patrol this vast area described by Chief Klein. I believe this is too few officers for too large an area. Another discrepancy which intrigues me about the substation shows up on the application form submitted to your board. Under the Information in support of request section, Chief Klein says there will be a '24 hour presence of police support at the shelter." However, during the October 10th meeting, I specifically asked him if there would be an officer on duty at the substation at all times. His reply was no, the officer would be in the area, but not in the substation itself. I believe an officer should always be at the shelter in order to coordinate the patrolling officer(s)' movements. Problem 6 - The plan to redevelop downtown It is a well known fact that there are plans to rejuvenate the downtown area. According to these plans, Cleveland Street will be the main thoroughfare leading to the downtown area. In the proposal before your board today, St. Vincent DePaul plans to construct a sidewalk leading from their structure to Cleveland Street. According to their plan, all of the homeless people will take this route in order to stop them from walking through the residential neighborhoods surrounding this location. I wonder what will be on the minds of the motorists heading downtown when the first sight they see is a stream of homeless people walking to and from Crestlake Park and the downtown area. In closing, I believe it would be a mistake to allow this building to be constructed. Either the existing housing in the Clearwater area is enough, or a much larger facility is needed. Furthermore, I believe this problem is not only the responsibility of Clearwater, but of the whole county. I propose that a huge compound on the scale of the facility in Orlando be established on county land away from residential and business neighborhoods. We cannot hope to overcome such a vast and serious problem such as this with a 48 bed facility. Please vote against permitting this structure to be built. pt-L - R '©NS QLj #q L,rr 1,1ori ,c C-7 s&S r�J O l 9 G H e N c 7�`T �' � 2 T# r Ag K r-> 2 ou v►� o�� yn A r" Co. v lvT'R jb-G c=�=� �w/A T .e ';r� µ N., v;zrcl ?

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS CONDITIONAL USE PROPOSAL TO GO FORWARD. JUDITH A. RODRIGUEZ OWNER 1289 -1295 PIERCE ST. CLEARWATER, FL. Approximately four years ago, I bought property at 1356 Park Street in Clearwater. I tried to open a Post Office and had approvals from everyone but the zoning portion that authorizes the number of parking spaces. I had to settle for a courier business (with no walk in traffic). I had no knowledge of the "Soup Kitchen ". I thought this place across the street from me was some kind of public restaurant that specialized in "soups ". Within a very short time,.I noticed that some of the people that visited the soup kitchen were also visiting my property also; leaving feces; all types of bottles; trash and breaking into my building through the windows. Someone also took the freon from my air conditioner and then trashed the A /C. Police Reports have been made. My property has lost a lot of value as well as other properties in the area. And this is with the present situation. Now, I understand that the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen wants to expand it operation to a 48 bed addition and offer another meal which will bring the people back to the soup kitchen for a second time during the day. St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen does fill ay� reed_.,.. but filling "this need" is costing properrty,,�owners .not only a bundle of money inj�dec In :ng property vtalues, but could - ex�dager- cust:amers *as wellas property owners rho go up _. - _..- ag-ain-st --some -of` -t-h - homeless people who have rib respect for us.

I now run my business from my home and try not to visit my property... even though I still pay the mortgage. I pick up my mail every two weeks and mow the yard when needed. I try not to go down to my property at night of fear of being attacked. It's not that I am that much afraid of any certain individual, but they simply are not worth me being jailed for what I might be forced to do if confronted. I'm sure there several solutions... _ Done' - t_ ,appr- ove --an - expns to l- - 2.

Assoc{ated Press President Clinton's re- election campaign is advertising that his administration is re- sponsible for putting 48,000 additional po- lice officers on America's streets. But like Halloween, there are some phantoms out there. The Justice Department says its grants have added more than 2,000 men and wom- en to 216 of Florida's city police depart- ments and county sheriff's offices. The Justice Department makes grants under the 1994 Crime Bill, which aims to put an additional 100,000 police officers on the streets by the year 2000. Some of the grants are for officers' salaries. But some of the grants are for equipment, mostly laptop computers. In the equipment grant proposals by the cities and counties, the. law enforcement agencies are required to show how many hours they anticipate the new equipment will save officers. The Justice Department then takes that total number of hours, and through its own formula converts that into the equivalent of having a certain number of new officers. There are_ no new officers, of course, as a result of the new equipment. In St. Petersburg, for example, the Jus- tice Department is paying for about 275 laptop computers for use by officers on patrol. The Justice Department calculates that the time saved through use of the laptops is the equivalent of having yet another 28 officer's. First of all, the Police Department is just now taking bids for buying the computers, said Chief Darrel Stephens. So the Justice Department's claim of the 28 additional officers on St. Petersburg's streets is pre- mature. - The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office gQ money for 29 laptop computers, which the Justice Department has translated into the county having 8.7 additional deputies, saic Lt. William Balkwill. While there are no new deputief lugif the laptop purchases, the compu. _ are allowing the officers to spend more time or patrol, Balkwill said. The Justice Department lists the Miam: Police Department as getting 152 new offi- cers who actually will be hired, said Chief Donald H. Warshaw. But the same list, using the conversion-61 equipment to additional police, has the Mi- ami Police Department. getting - another 91 officers. Warshaw says he has no idea what that 91 refers to.

RE: CU 96 -46 Dear Staff and Board Members: As a resident of the neighborhood in which the proposed homeless shelter would be operated, as well as the proposed police substation and expanded hours of operation of the existing Soup Kitchen, I cannot support this and vigorously oppose this use. I do not feel a police substation 'would be necessary if the great number (185 homeless each day) were not drawn to this neighborhood by the free meal that is served every day of the year. What a negative impact is is to have 185 homeless and transient people lured into the neighborhood each morning and then have those same 185 people filtering back out through the same neighborhood as they leave. To open the kitchen again for an evening meal would draw that same amount right back through, to come and go again right in our midst. It is already a great problem I have had to deal with in this area. If another 48 people are invited in each week to the shelter plus another 185 in the afternoons, it does not take much imagination to see what this neighborhood would be like. It has already been a burden to have to contend with the debris, the fighting, the drinking, the sleeping under bushes,windows,etc. and I do not want to see any operation of this nature in this residential neighborhood. The business that are in this neighborhood do not need to have this extra activity which also presents such a negative picture to prospective customers, as well 'as the real burden of maintaining security and a clean propertynot strewn with bottles; personal effects of uninvited persons, etc. If you lived here as I do you would see ghat goes on day in and day out .

Your letter was providential for two reasons. First, staff met early on the morning of April 25' to discuss the application of the Planning and Zoning Board conditions of approval for this property and had come to the decision that will be discussed below. Second, my response to your letter allows me an opportunity to update the City Manager and Planning and Zoning Board with regard to the status of the homeless shelter. Your specific concern deals with the condition that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be provided for the homeless shelter. The purpose for this connection, which was recommended by City staff, was to minimize the amount of foot traffic associated with, primarily, the soup kitchen, but included pedestrians expected to be coming and going from the homeless shelter. The condition, as approved by the Planning and Zoning Board, did not specify a particular location or a time -frame in which the sidewalk interconnection must occur. A copy of the Planning and Zoning Board minutes are attached for your review. At the time the condition was imposed, the applicant felt that obtaining any necessary easements to allow the construction of this interconnection, as shown on the applicant's site plan, would present minimal difficulties. However, opposition to the project, for various reasons, seems to have precluded the possibility of obtaining the easement prior to start of construction. In addition, alternatives to the most direct sidewalk interconnection are being explored, including improving sidewalk interconnections nearby public streets. This, in combination with some signage, may achieve the same purpose and intent of the sidewalk interconnection originally proposed by the applicant. "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND AFFIRMATIVE AcnoN EMPLOYER" [FC3 ' �D '41 a �' Since it will be a number of months before the project will be completed, and the applicant is proceeding in good faith to meet the condition established by the Planning and Zoning Board, there is no reason to hold up permitting and construction. Other than this particular issue, the applicant appears to be able to meet all conditions established by the Planning and Zoning Board, and I anticipate permit issuance in the very near future. Thank you for your interest in this matter. I hope I have answered your questions to your satisfaction. Please advise if you have further questions or comments.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT On or about August 20, 1996, the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., (the Society) filed an application for conditional use approval for a proposed residential shelter for homeless persons as well as for a police substation facility at its property located at 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street in the City of Clearwater. The application was considered by the City's Planning and Zoning Board (the Board) at meetings on October 15 and November 5, 1996. The Board approved the application, subject to certain conditions. On November 18, 1996, Mary Schuh, Brian Schuh, Clark Hubbard, Pat A. Wilson, Jonas 0. Brumett, Dr. Gilbert Janelli, and Save Our Neighborhood, an unincorporated association, filed a Notice of Appeal from the Board's decision. Under Section 36.065 of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code) , the appeal was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 1996, along with a copy of the record of the z' 00lt -1 IZn4.Q. 24 (Y proceedings below. After the filing of responses to the Initial Order in the case, a Notice of Hearing was issued on December 23, 1996, scheduling final hearing for IJanuary 2'9, 1997, in Clearwater. At final hearing, the tapes, minutes and exhibits from the Planning and Zoning Board proceeding were received into evidence.' the Appellants called five witnesses and had Appellants' ,Ekhibits 1 2through .8, admitted - into - ,evidence in -their'- - case-in-chief. Government Exhibit l was admitted into evidence during the Appellants' presentation. The Applicant called three witnesses and had Applicant's Exhibit 1 admitted into evidence. The City called one witness and had Government Exhibits 1 through 20 admitted in evidence. Appellants'-.Exhibit,-9 was admitted into evidence during. the City's presentation The Appellants recalled two witnesses in rebuttal. After the presentation of the evidence, the parties were given 15 days in which to file proposed final orders. Timely proposed final orders were filed by the Appellants and by the City. FINDINGS OF, FACT 1. The Society owns property in Clearwater zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 12 (Residential Multi Family). The part of the property zoned CG fronts on the south side of Park Street and its adjacent western terminus; the part of the property zoned RM 12 fronts on Pierce Street and is adjacent to and south of the CG property. DU�4 -, 3 The Application 2. Since approximately 1991, the Society has operated a soup kitchen on the part of the property zoned CG fronting on Park Street. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The continued operation of the soup kitchen is not at issue in this proceeding. 3. The Society wishes to build and operate a 48 -bed homeless shelter on, the remainder of the property zoned CG located adjacent to the soup kitchen at the western terminus of Park Street, in conjunction with a new police substation facility. (There is an existing residence on some of the RM 12 property fronting on Pierce Street adjacent to and south of the existing soup kitchen; the remainder of the property facing Pierce Street .will be used for new parking.) Both the residential shelter and the police substation facility are permittable conditional uses in CG and RM zones requiring an application for conditional use approval. 4. As proposed, the police substation facility would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. Initially, the operation will be financed by a federal Department of Justice COPS grant; the City has committed to continue funding for future years. 5. As proposed, the residential homeless shelter would serve primarily single males and females, but there will be a separate 4 -to -6 bed component for use by families as needed. The average length of stay at the shelter is projected to be eight W I t--,— 'j, �' 4 0Y&Y— . -'� (ttp days. Restrooms will be available during day and evening hours for use of residents. 6.- The shelter will operate under the terms of a Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) community block grant. Funding under the grant is contingent on the establishment of the proposed police substation. Under the grant, users of the soup kitchen would be required to register. Registrants will undergo a police background chEck and will .b -a "trespass`ed" from the facility and not allowed'to use either the soup kitchen or the shelter if a criminal record is discovered. If eligible, registrants will be required to enter the CHIP program. (Not all usersxof the soup kitchen are homeless, and entry into the CHIP program will not be required if local residence -can be proven.')" 7. Upon entry into the CHIP program, shelter residents would be required to participate in CHIP intervention programs. These would include mental health and drug and alcohol abuse counseling and treatment (where appropriate), job skill training and assistance in obtaining employment, and assistance in obtaining housing. The goal of the CHIP program is to transition participants back into productive jobs and permailent housing. 8. Participants in CHIP would have to follow the requirements of its programs, as well as follow "good citizenship" house rules of the homeless shelter (which includes the requirement to remain sober), in order to continue to receive the services of the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. The unacceptable behaviors of some current users of the soup kitchen - including public urination and defecation, public f�� 0 Id'ar 5 DW S� drinking, panhandling and solicitation for prostitution - -would not be tolerated. If a program participant violates CHIP's rules, "he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses." Board Action 9. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the Society's conditional use approval application.at length.at its meeting on October 15, 1996, but continued the matter to give its staff time to answer questions raised at the meeting. Staff provided additional information, and the application was considered again at length at the Board's meeting on November 5, 1996. By a vote of 4 -3, the Board approved the application subject to the following conditions, which were designed in large „part to address concerns of the Appellants: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non- residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use; 6. Efforts shall be made on behalf of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues t-)D M 6p4j 0'(dk/ 6 /( (0 and information on a regular basis; and 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate -of Occupancy. The Appellants raise no issue as to the approval of the proposed police substation facility as a conditional use; they only oppose the decision to approve the proposed homeless shelter as a conditional use. Compatibility with surrounding Area 10. The'area in which the subject property is-located could not be characterized as a residential neighborhood.. (A residential shelter would not be a permittable conditional use in a single- family zoning district.) Rather, it is in an area of mixed -land use. Existing land uses within'1000'feet of the site include office, school, utility facilities, park, indoor retail, motel, restaurant, bar /tavern, personal services, and vehicular service, in addition to single - family residential and multi- family residential. 11. Perhaps most significant for purposes of the decision in this case, the proposed property is located next to the Society's soup kitchen, which is a permitted use'`that has been existence at the site since approximately 1991. There clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that a homeless shelter next to an existing soup kitchen is a compatible use. It may well be that the homeless shelter would not be compatible with the surrounding area if it were not for the pre- existing soup kitchen, but those are not the facts. 12. The Appellants question the compatibility of a homeless W14 r[A4_ by&q- 7/1(� shelter next to a bar and near convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased, since almost 60%° of homeless individuals in upper Pinellas County in 1995 were abusers of alcohol. But there was no evidence that there are any possible locations for a homeless shelter in the City of Clearwater where beer and wine cannot be purchased relatively conveniently. (There probably are residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to buy beer and wine, but a homeless shelter would not be permittable there.) Besides, the presence of the soup kitchen next door is enough to sustain the Board's decision that the homeless shelter is a compatible use, even with the nearby bar and convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased. Adverse Impacts from Soup Kitchen 13. All of the adverse impacts on nearby property complained of by the Appellants are impacts from the operation of the soup kitchen. The homeless who trespass by walking through private property near the subject property from Cleveland Street, and from other directions, to the soup kitchen are, obviously, users of the soup kitchen. Other adverse impacts from users of the soup kitchen include: damage to and burglary of and sleeping i in and on private property near the subject property; monopolizing the nearby Cleveland Street bus stop; loitering and littering and drinking in public on both private and public property in the area; urinating and defecating and panhandling and soliciting for prostitution on both private and public property in the area. 14. These adverse impacts from the operation of the soup �u7�trt fj�.e orw 8 1�� kitchen, in addition to the mere presence in public of those homeless users of the soup kitchen who look and smell bad, are what has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The evidence was that, on the average over a larger radius of 1000 feet from the soup kitchen, there is no trend of decreasing property values as a result of the presence of the soup - 'kitchen at this time; but, in fairness, that is not to say that; even over this larger area, the presence of the soup kitchen, and those who use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values, for example from efforts at redevelopment and revitalization in the area. Positive Impact of Homeless Shelter j ''15. Given the pre - existence of the Society's soup kitchen, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the proposal to build and operate a homeless shelter next door, especially with the conditions imposed by the Board, would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. 16. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that, with the homeless shelter, 48 of the homeless now living in the streets and causing, negative impacts on the neighborhood will be off the streets and, as.long as they follow the rules of the shelter, will not be contributing to those impacts. Cf. Finding 13, supra. 17. As conditions on its approval of the application, the Board has required: (1) that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; (2) that additional lighting be 911(a installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; and (3) that fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These measures also should help ameliorate the negative impacts of both the residents of the homeless shelter and other users__of. the__soup kitchen. 2.____ 18. There also was evidence that there has been a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of new homeless shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that a similar decrease in crime would occur in the vicinity of the Society's proposed homeless shelter. (Also supporting such an inference,was evidence that virtually no complaints have arisen out.of the operation of the 15 -bed emergency shelter which the Salvation Army has operated at 900 Pierce Street for the preceding 18 months and at another location for the 18 months before that., or out of the operation of any homeless shelter operated by Barbara Green of Everybody!,s Tabernacle,,Homeless Emergency Project over the last 30 years.3 19. In the face of this evidence, the Appellants could only respond by raising the specter of an influx of homeless from all over Pinellas County (and even the country) attracted by the combination of the soup kitchen and the homeless shelter, in numbers that will exceed the homeless shelter's capacity. There was no evidence on which to base such a projection, and the Board DOA74 �rrL4 ads was entitled to treat this concern as being speculative. 20. There was evidence that, unlike some other communities, Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of shelter location at spots throughout the County and that this policy has succeeded in avoiding overburdening any one area. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that the addition of the Society's proposed homeless shelter would cause all of the homeless in Pinellas County,to abandon the many, other shelters in. the County to live on the streets in the vicinity'of the Society's proposed shelter while admission. 21. The Board also was entitled to infer that, logically, if the homeless shelter attracts any additional homeless, it will 1. attract :'those hopeful of acceptance into the CHIP program and that these individuals would be willing to abide by the strict rules of behavior required of homeless person wanting to be accepted. Positive Impact of.the Police Substation 22. In addition to the evidence on the positive impact of the proposed homeless shelter itself, there clearly was evidence to sustain i'the Board's decision that the comb=*ned "proposal of a homeless shelter and a police substation facility will would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. As proposed, the police substation would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. The Board clearly was entitled to infer from this evidence that crime and other negative impacts to the neighborhood likely will be reduced 12�trf �C� f�'dv /uo, from current levels. Three -Year Trial Period 23. As an additional.protection for the neighboring property owners, the Board attached a three -year trial period as a condition to its approval, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use. The Commission's Decision 24. ..The Appellants argue *hat.policy allegedly set by the City Commission requites the reversal of the Board's decision. They argue that this policy is reflected in a Commission decision to deny an application to amendment the City's comprehensive plan to change the future land use designation of.the property adjacent and.immediately to the west of the subject property from commercial.-to public.facility to allow for use as a.church and school., The evidence actually reflects the City Commission's concern that the existence of a church and .school on the site would make it more difficult for commercial properties within 200 feet to obtain condition use approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages for lounges and restaurants. The City's decision not to amend its comprehensive plan did not establish policy to control the conditional use approval at issue in this case. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 25. Under Section 36.065(6) of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code): (a) The hearing officer' shall review the record and testimony presented at the hearing before the board and the hearing officer relative to the guidelines for consideration of conditional uses rxh 6tk,Q b& 1= /l6 or variances as contained in chapter 41, article II, or chapter 45, respectively. Although additional evidence may be brought before the hearing officer, the hearing shall not be deemed a hearing de novo, and the record before the board shall be incorporated into the record before the hearing officer, supplemented by such additional evidence as may be brought before the hearing officer. (b) The hearing officer shall be guided by the city comprehensive plan, relevant portions of this Code and established case law. (c) The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of the board cannot be sustained by`the` evidence before the board and before the 1. hearing officer, or that the decision of the board departs"itom the essential requirements of law. In this case, the Appellants argue that "the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before 'the hearing officer."' Section' '41.033 of the Code provides, in pertinent part: *' A conditional use shall be approved by the board only upon determination that the application and evidence presented clearly indicate that-: (1) The use complies with the land use plan. (2) The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code. (3) The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. (4) The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and not detract from the public's convenience at the specific location. (5) The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. (6) The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The Appellants argue in this case that the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer cannot sustain the board's decision that the application for conditional use approval in %A4 6a N(P/ 13 this case met the requirements of Section 41.033(2), (3), (4), (5 ) and ( 6 ) of the Code. 27. As for Section 41.033(2) and (3),of the Code, other provisions of the Code applicable in this case include Section 41.052, which provides in pertinent part: The standards in this section shall apply to all uses which are identified in this development code as conditional uses. Only those uses which comply with all of the standards contained in this section may be approved. (7) The use shall be consistent with the community character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard: (a) Whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; (b) Whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of the properties surrounding the conditional use; (c) Whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; (d) Whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type or volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses. 28. The key to properly deciding this appeal is the recognition that much of what the Appellants object to already exists as a result of the Society's existing soup kitchen, and denying this application for a homeless shelter and police substation will not change those conditions. Meanwhile, as found, there was sufficient evidence both before the Board and before the hearing officer to sustain the Board's decision that granting the application will help alleviate the Appellants' complaints, not exacerbate them, I Ifflar Mr especially in view of the 14 �(,:q conditions placed on the conditional use approval granted by the Board. The requirement of a three -year trial period, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter.use, is an additional protection for the neighboring property owners. DISPOSITION Based on.the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the appeal is denied, and the Board's decision.,is upheld. DONE AND ORDERED this 26th day of February,. 1997, in Tallahassee, Florida. Division of Administrative Hearings The DeSoto Building 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, FL 32399 -1550 (904) 488 -9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 26th day of February, 1997. ENDNOTES 1. The materials referred to the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) on November 26, 1996, were supplemented with certified copies of Board minutes. 2. The Appellants make much of the Society's need for a small easement from a neighboring property owner in order to comply with the sidewalk condition. But the possibility that the Society will not be able to comply with the condition is not a ground to overturn the Board's decision. Rather, it would be a compliance issue that is more appropriately resolved in another forum. 3. In fairness to the Appellants' position, it should be pointed out that none these homeless shelters had a soup kitchen attached. 15 /(( DD A�f 64 dvds- 0 4. The Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) has entered into a contract to serve as "hearing officer" under the City's Code. As a result of Chapter 96 -159, Laws of Florida (1996), former DOAH hearing officers are now called administrative law judges. The City's Code has not yet been revised to reflect the title change. 5. Under this curious hybrid.procedure, a board decision apparently can be sustained even if not sustainable by the evidence before the board if sustainable by a combination of the evidence before the board and the evidence before the hearing officer (and never before seen by the board). The opposite corollary to this curious procedure is that the board's decision can be reversed as not sustainable by the evidence based upon evidence presented for the first time before the hearing officer COPIES FLTPUNISHED: Timothy A.

MAJOR FUNDING SOURCES - City of Clearwater Community Development Block Grant Funds, Administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development - Pinellas County Community Block Grant Funds, Administered by Pinellas County Community Development CONDITIONAL USE COMPLIANCE SUMMARY Following is our summary of conditions met in completion and opening of the CHIP Center and Shelter at the Saint Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen: Condition #1- As noted previously by Scott Shufford, good faith efforts have been made in completing the project in a timely manner. Circumstances beyond our control have delayed somewhat the completion date first projected. Condition #2 - Mr. Shufford met with the Architect and the Owner's Representative after dark one'evening and determined acceptable solutions to the lighting concerns. It was decided that we should try a dimmer street lamp for the street light centered on the eastern edge of the south (Pierce Street) parking light. This will cut down on the light projected onto the new housing development across Pierce Street to the south. Adequate lighting has been added to the north side of the Center, thus illuminating CHIP and perimeter of lot which abuts commercial properties. Condition #3 - Attempts were again made to obtain and easement for sidewalk egress to Cleveland street by way of direct route south. As the agreed alternative, pedestrian directional signs on the south side of Cleveland street have been put in place. Interior signs giving directions to clients as to the proper route and urges clients to respect property have been hung in The Salvation Army and The Soup Kitchen. Exterior signs have been created and will be hung on and around the property as well as at the provider agencies. Finally, at CHIP's own expense, barrier fence and rolling gate have been erected across the back of Dr. Jannelli's and Idle Spur's property. We will look to the City to decide whether they should take additional steps such as new east -west sidewalk joining the Center to Evergreen. As it currently stands, pedestrian traffic can no longer walk across public property directly north from the Center. These steps seem to have pleased property owners to the north. Condition #4 - Compliance has been noted as the Police Sub - station will be operational simultaneously with or even prior to CHIP opening. Condition #5 - Compliance with ongoing review is noted. Mechanisms for measuring effectiveness are being implemented with the help of University of South Florida, The Police Department, and our Neighborhood Advisory Council. Condition #6 - As noted previously, a Neighborhood Advisory Committee was formed by CHIP and Ms. Pat Wilson, a resident and nearby property owner, has assumed Chairmanship of that Committee: Our initial meeting was held on June 9" at the Soup Kitchen, Under previous cover, a copy of the flyer announcing the open neighborhood meeting was circulated around the vicinity by the Police Bike Patrol I have had many phone conversations with Pat Wilson over these several months sent, and she has been most helpful with program ideas. A data base and mailing list of more than 75 names of area resdents and property owners has been created and maintained by CHIP. Condition 5 cont. Ms Wilson and I toured the neighborhood on July 30, 1997 in order to observe and note a baseline of needs and concerns. On August 15, 1997, the committee took me to lunch and we discussed program and I gave them a clearer picture of our policies and our common concerns. A meeting with the NAC and USF staff is to be facilitated by CHIP on March30, in order to gain neighborhood input on measurement criteria for our Community Policing efforts. Please see the attached copy of my prior compliance update dated Oct. 15. At the NAC's request, they will meet with CHIP as needed, not on a routine basis. CHIP will call for periodic updates. Condition #7 - Fencing to the maximum allowed by code is already in place. I have requested these assurances in writing from the architect. As stated above, we reviewed the areas in questioned with Mr. Shufford during his site visit. We have exceeded, at CHIP's expense, fencing that was expected, and have placed attractive fencing in areas where pedestrians previously crossed neighboring property. There is now no way for patrons of the Center or Soup Kitchen to cross neighboring lots when coming to and from our Center. Please review this document and advise CHIP as to compliance status. Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated. SIDEWALK EGRESS FROM CHIP OPTION 1 South side of Park Street, which will extend recently improved and new sidewalk in front of Soup Kitchen and CHIP Center at 1339 -1345 Park Street. Extend sidewalk from above address east along park street to corner at Evergreen. This runs from 175 -180 ft., and traverses three private properties with three driveways, one of which is blacktop; the others are broken or unpaved. Utilities have recently been marked. Corner would require a 90 degree turn to the north to join the paved street, thus routing pedestrians north across Park onto the existing sidewalk running north from Park Street to Cleveland. There is no existing sidewalk running north from Pierce Street to Park Street. This latter section of existing sidewalk along Evergreen needs improvement just shy of Cleveland, as it seems to stop or has been covered with soil and plant growth. We're probably looking at 10 ft. or so. OPTION 2 North side of Park Street. Some sidewalk exists along Park Street, running west towards the CHIP Center from existing sidewalk along Evergreen. However this walk continues for only 50 ft. or less in front of a residential property, then stops from that point west, we would need approximately 183 ft. of sidewalk which traverses two residential frontages with unpaved driveways, another broken pavement 23' driveway from the rear of Idle Spur Saloon, then continue west parallel to existing wood fence which borders Dr. Jannelli's Gator Tails property. Problems from the Idle Spur drive westward include utility poles, and dumpster location which greatly narrows the corridor. This becomes worse when we reach the radius of the caldesac (spelling) at the west limit of Park Street. Then we encounter storm drains and other utility poles. If for no other reason than safety we probably should not take this route. CLEARWATER HOMELESS INTERVENTION PROJECT, Inc.. P. O.

Hammond RE: CHIP Zoning Approval Conditions - follow -up Dear Mr. Shufford, This letter is in response to your E -Mail of 9/12/97 in the above referenced matter, a copy of which I attach. Following I would like to address each matter: 1) As noted, requisite permitting will be and to date has been followed. Steps are being taken to pay impact fees as required. 2) Some questions have arisen as to the definition of adequate lighting and the expectations as to which existing lights are near enough to residences to require 90% cut -off, etc. One existing light is a street light which lights the roadway, and is not directly related to the project, except that it was moved a few feet to make way for the required retention area. Further, Conditional Use Approval mentioned that areas adjacent to commercial property would be lighted lighting . As we wish to be in full compliance with these issues, the architect and contractor requests that someone from your department meet with us on an evening, after sundown so we may finally determine what areas do and do not require lighting, and at what angles. The time is now for this to be finalized, and we look to you for direction as to the best way and most convenient time for your office to do so. 3) We will try one last time, as you suggest, to get an easement. I will look to records of previous attempts to do so, to ascertain who I might talk to . I would ask your assistance in this if you would be so kind as to fax or E - Mail me with current addresses of property owners or their representatives. As you know we have yet to receive a final response from anyone. Only this morning I was emphatically reminded by Dr: Janelli that an easement would not be granted. 4) Compliance noted 5) Compliance noted 6) On June 9, 1997 the initial meeting of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee, which CHIP formed, was held. Ms. Pat Wilson, at the request of Chief Klein, agreed to be Chairperson of that committee. I attach a copy of the flyer announcing the meeting, which was circulated through the neighborhood by the Police Bike Patrol. I have subsequently had many phone conversations with Ms. Wilson and she has been most helpful with program ideas. I offered the services of CHIP to establish, a mailing list data base for the NAC, and am in the process of doing so. Ms. Wilson and I toured the neighborhood, on July 30, whereupon I took notes as to issues the neighborhood face, such as vandalism, and violations by residents and property owners themselves. Our intent is to make the NAC more than just a watchdog for the shelter. CHIP will become a neighborhood center. We've arranged for the Soup Kitchen to provide space for NAC meetings. Finally, on August 15, 1997, the NAC officers took me to lunch for an update on programming. They seemed most cooperative. As an aside; when I requested of Ms. Wilson that we establish routine meeting tomes for NAC, she reminded me that the volunteer officers did not wish to commit to regular meeting times. Rather, the would communicate directly on issues, and call informational meetings as needed. 7) Fencing issues are included in construction drawings and according to the architect , are in compliance with code. We are securing a letter of compliance. I trust this will suffice to bring you up to date. I hope to hear from you son on your direction. Please call me at 562 -4119, FAX at 562 -4339, or E -Mail me through the city system. I thank you for all that you are doing for our community. Sincerely, �- k� A.

Carlton ward, Esquire Richards, Gilkey, Fite, Slaughter, Pratesi & Ward, P.A. Richards Building 1253 Park Street Clearwater, Florida 34616 STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE The issue in this case is whether the appeal from the decision of the. Planning and Zoning.Board granting the conditional use permit application of the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., in the Board's Case No. CU 96 =-46 should be granted. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT On or about August 20, 1996, the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc.,, (the Society) filed an application for conditional use approval for a proposed residential shelter for homeless persons as well as for a police substation facility at its property located at 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street in the City of Clearwater. The application was considered by the City's Planning and Zoning Board (the Board) at meetings on October 15 and November 5, 1996. The Board approved the application, subject to certain conditions. On November 18, 1996, Mary Schuh, Brian Schuh, Clark Hubbard, Pat A. Wilson, Jonas 0. Brumett, Dr. Gilbert Janelli, and Save Our Neighborhood, an unincorporated association, filed a Notice of Appeal from the Board's decision. Under Section 36.065 of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code) , the appeal was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 1996, along with a copy of the record of the r4 I 1 proceedings below. After the filing of responses to the Initial Order in the case, a Notice of Hearing was issued on December 23, 1996, scheduling final hearing for January 29, 1997, in Clearwater. At final hearing, the tapes, minutes and exhibits from the Planning and Zoning Board proceeding were received into evidence.' the Appellants called five witnesses and had Appellants.' Exhibits 1 through 8 admitted into evidence in their case -in- chief. Government Exhibit 1 was admitted into evidence during the Appellants' presentation. The Applicant called three witnesses and had Applicant's Exhibit l admitted into evidence. The City called one witness and had Government Exhibits 1 through 20 admitted in evidence. Appellants' Exhibit 9 was admitted into evidence during the City's presentation. The Appellants recalled two witnesses in rebuttal. After the presentation of the evidence, the parties were given 15 days in which to file proposed final orders. Timely proposed final orders were filed by the Appellants and by the City. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Society owns property in Clearwater zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 12 (Residential Multi Family). The part of the property zoned CG fronts on the south side of Park Street and its adjacent western terminus;'the part of the property zoned RM 12 fronts on Pierce Street and is adjacent to and south of the CG property. 3 I i The Application 2. Since approximately 1991, the Society has operated a soup kitchen on the.part of the property zoned CG fronting on Park Street. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The continued operation of the soup kitchen is not at issue in this proceeding. 3. The Society wishes to build and operate a 48 -bed homeless shelter on the remainder of the property. zoned CG located adjacent to the soup kitchen at the western terminus of Park Street, in conjunction with a new police substation facility. (There is an existing residence on some of the RM 12 property fronting on Pierce Street adjacent to and south of the existing soup kitchen; the remainder of the property facing Pierce Street will be used for new parking.) Both the residential shelter and the police substation facility are permittable conditional uses in CG and RM zones requiring an application for conditional use approval. 4. As proposed, the police substation facility would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. Initially, the operation will be financed by a federal Department of Justice COPS grant; the City has committed to continue funding for future years. S. As proposed, the residential homeless shelter would serve primarily single males and females, but there will be a separate 4 -to -6 bed component for use by families as needed. The average length of stay at the shelter is projected to be eight 4 days. Restrooms will be available during day and evening hours for use of residents. 6. The shelter will operate under the terms of a Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) community block grant. Funding under the grant is contingent on the establishment of the proposed police substation. Under the grant, users of the soup kitchen would be required to register. Registrants will undergo a police background check and will be "trespasses" from the facility.and.not allowed to use either the soup kitchen or the shelter if a criminal record is discovered. If eligible, registrants will be required to enter the CHIP program. (Not all users of the soup kitchen are homeless, and entry into the CHIP program will not be required if local residence -can be proven:) 7. Upon entry into the CHIP program, shelter residents would be required to participate in CHIP intervention programs. These would include mental health and drug and alcohol abuse counseling and treatment (where appropriate) , job skill training and assistance in obtaining employment,.and assistance in obtaining housing. The goal of the CHIP program is to transition participants back into productive jobs and permanent housing. 8. Participants in CHIP would have to follow the requirements of its programs, as well as follow "good citizenship" house rules of the homeless shelter (which includes the requirement to remain sober), in order to continue to receive the services of the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. The unacceptable behaviors of some current users of the soup kitchen - including public urination and defecation, public 5 F1 drinking, panhandling and solicitation for prostitution - -would not be tolerated. If a program participant violates CHIP's rules, "he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses." Board Action 9. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the.Society's conditional use approval applications at length.at. its meeting on October 15, 1996, but continued the matter to give its. staff.time to answer questions raised at -the meeting. Staff provided additional information, and the application was considered again at length at the Board's meeting on November 5, 1996. By a vote of 4 -3, the Board approved the application subject to the following conditions,.which were designed.in large. ..part to address concerns of the Appellants: .1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the.perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; S. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public.hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use;._ G. Efforts shall be made on behalf of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues 6 4 and information on a regular basis; and 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The Appellants raise no issue as to the approval of the proposed police substation facility as a conditional use; they only oppose the decision to approve the proposed homeless shelter as a conditional use. Compatibility with Surrounding Area 10. The area in which the subject property is located could not. be characterized as a residential neighborhood.. (A residential shelter would not be a permittable conditional use in a single- family zoning district.) Rather, it is in an area of mixed land use. Existing land uses within 1000 feet-of the site include office, school, utility facilities, park, indoor retail, motel, restaurant, bar /tavern, personal services, and vehicular service, in addition to single - family residential and multi- family residential. 11. Perhaps most significant for purposes of the decision in this case, the proposed property is located next to the Society's soup kitchen, which is a permitted use that has been existence at the site since approximately 1991. There clearly was evidence to sustain the Board'.s decision that a homeless shelter next to an existing soup kitchen is a compatible use. It may well be that the homeless shelter would not be compatible with the surrounding area if it were not for the pre- existing soup kitchen, but those are not the facts. 12. The Appellants question the compatibility of a homeless 7 1 t shelter next to a bar and near convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased, since almost 60% of homeless individuals in upper Pinellas County in 1995 were abusers of alcohol. But there was no evidence that there are any possible locations for a homeless shelter in the City of Clearwater where beer and wine cannot be purchased relatively conveniently. (There probably are residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to buy beer and wine, but.a homeless shelter would.rot be permittable there.) Besides, the presence of the soup kitchen next door is enough to sustain the Board's decision that the homeless shelter is a compatible use, even with the nearby bar and convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased. Adverse Impacts from Soup Kitchen 13. All of the adverse impacts on.nearby property complained of by the Appellants are impacts from the operation of the soup kitchen. The homeless who trespass by walking through private property near the subject property from Cleveland Street, and from other directions, to the soup kitchen are, obviously, users of the soup kitchen. Other adverse impacts from users of the soup kitchen include: ._damage to and burglary of and sleeping in and on private property near the subject property; monopolizing.the nearby Cleveland Street bus stop; loitering and littering and drinking in public on both private and public property in the area; urinating and defecating and panhandling and soliciting for prostitution on both private and.public property in the area. 14. These adverse impacts from the operation of the soup 8 kitchen, in addition to the mere presence in public of those homeless users of the soup kitchen who look and smell bad, are what has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The evidence was that, on the average over a larger radius of 1000 feet from the soup kitchen, there is no trend of decreasing property values as a result of.the presence of the soup kitchen at this time; but, in fairness, that is not to say that, even over this larger area, the presence of the soup kitchen, and those who use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values, for example from efforts at redevelopment and revitalization in the area. Positive Impact of Homeless Shelter 15. Given the pre- existence of the Society's soup kitchen, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the proposal to build and operate a homeless shelter next door, especially with the conditions imposed by.the Board, would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. 16. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that, with the homeless shelter, 48 of the homeless now living in the streets and causing negative impacts on the neighborhood will be off the streets and, as long as they follow the rules of the shelter, will not be contributing to those impacts. Cf. Finding 13, supra. 17. As conditions on its approval of the application, the Board has required: (1) that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; (2) that additional lighting be 6 I 1 installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; and (3) that fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These measures also should help ameliorate the. negative impacts of both the residents of the homeless shelter and other users of the soup k1tchen.2 18. There also was evidence that. there has been a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of new-homeless shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida. `The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that a similar decrease.in crime would occur in the vicinity of the Society's proposed homeless shelter. (Also supporting such an inference was evidence that virtually no complaints have arisen out of the operation of the 15 -bed emergency shelter which the Salvation Army has operated at 900 Pierce Street for the preceding 18 months and at another location for the 18 months before that, or out of the operation of any homeless shelter operated by Barbara Green of Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project over the last 30 years . 3 19. In the face of this evidence, the Appellants could only respond by raising the specter of an influx of homeless from all over Pinellas County (and even the country) attracted by the combination of the soup kitchen and the homeless shelter, in numbers that will exceed the homeless shelter's capacity. There was no evidence on which to base such a projection, and the Board 10 z � i was entitled to treat this concern as being speculative. 20. There was evidence that, unlike some other communities, Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of shelter location at spots throughout the County and that this policy has succeeded in avoiding overburdening any one area. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that the addition of the Society's proposed homeless shelter would cause all of the homeless in Pinellas County to abandon the many other shelters'in the County to live on'the streets in the vicinity of the Society's proposed shelter while admission. 21. The Board also was entitled to infer that, logically, if the homeless shelter attracts any additional homeless., it will attract those hopeful of acceptance into the CHIP program and that these individuals would be willing to abide by the strict rules of behavior required of homeless person wanting to be accepted. Positive Impact of the Police Substation 22. In addition to the evidence on the positive impact of the proposed homeless shelter itself, there clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the combined proposal of a homeless shelter and a police substation facility will would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. As proposed, the police substation would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. The Board clearly was entitled to infer from this evidence that crime and other negative impacts to the neighborhood likely will be reduced from current levels. Three -Year Trial Period 23. As an additional protection for the neighboring property owners, the Board attached a three -year trial period as a condition to its approval, after which a new conditional use permit.review will be required for the residential shelter use. The Commission's Decision 24. The Apge ?_lants argue that policy allegedly set by the City Commission requires the reversal of the Board's decision. They argue that this policy is reflected in a Commission decision to deny an application to amendment the City's comprehensive plan to change the future land use designation of.the property adjacent and immediately to the west of the subject property from commercial to public facility to allow for use as.a church and school. The evidence actually reflects the City Commission's concern that the existence of,a church and school on the site would make it more difficult for commercial properties within 200 feet to obtain condition use approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages for lounges and restaurants. The City's decision not. to amend its comprehensive plan did-,not establish policy to control the conditional use approval at issue in this case. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 25. Under Section 36.065(6) of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code): (a) The hearing officer° shall review the record and testimony presented at the hearing before the board and the hearing officer relative to the guidelines for consideration of conditional uses 12 1 or variances as contained in chapter 41, article II, or chapter 45, respectively. Although additional evidence may be brought before the hearing officer, the hearing shall not be deemed a hearing de novo, and the record before the board shall be incorporated into the record before the hearing officer, supplemented by such additional evidence as may be brought before the hearing officer. (b) The hearing officer shall be guided by the city comprehensive plan, relevant portions of this Code and established case law. (c) The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of the board cannot e sustained b by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of law. In this case, the Appellants argue that "the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer. 115 26. Section 41.033 of the Code provides, in pertinent part: A conditional use shall be approved by the board only upon determination that the application and evidence presented clearly indicate that: (1) The use complies with the land use plan. (2) The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code. (3) The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. (4) The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and. not detract from the public's convenience at the specific location. (5) The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. (6) The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area. and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The Appellants argue in this case that the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer cannot sustain the board's decision that the application for conditional use approval in 13 this case met the requirements of Section 41.033(2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the Code. 27. As for Section 41.033(2) and (3) of the Code, other provisions of the Code applicable in this case include Section 41.052, which provides in pertinent part: The standards in this section shall apply to all uses which are identified in this development code as conditional uses. only those uses which comply with all of the standards contained in this section may be approved. (7) The use shall be consistent with the community character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard: (a) Whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; (b) Whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of .the properties surrounding the conditional - .use; (c) Whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; (d) Whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type or volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses. 28. The key to properly deciding this appeal is the recognition that much of .what the Appellants object to already exists as a result of the Society's existing soup kitchen, and denying this application for a homeless shelter and police substation will not change those conditions. Meanwhile, as found, there was sufficient evidence both before the Board and before the hearing officer to sustain the Board's decision that granting the application will help alleviate the Appellants' complaints, not exacerbate them, especially in view of the 14 I I I `1 conditions placed on the conditional use approval granted by the Board. The requirement of a three -year trial period, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use, is an additional protection for the 1 neighboring property owners. DISPOSITION Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the appeal is denied, and the Board's decision is upheld. DONE AND ORDERED this 26th day of February, 1997, in Tallahassee, Florida. LAWRENCE JOHN FON dministrative Law Judge Division of Administrative Hearings The Desoto Building 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, FL 32399 -1550 (904) 488 -9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 26th day of February, 1997. ENDNOTES 1. The materials referred to the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) on November 26, 1996, were supplemented with certified copies of Board minutes. 2. The Appellants make much of. the Society's need for a small easement from a neighboring property owner in order to comply with the sidewalk condition. But the possibility that the Society will not be able to comply with the condition is not a ground to overturn the Board's decision. Rather, it would be a compliance issue that is more appropriately resolved in another forum. 3. in fairness to the Appellants' position, it should be pointed out that none these homeless shelters had a soup kitchen attached. 15 v i i 1 4. The Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) has entered into a contract to serve as "hearing officer" under the City's Code. As a result of Chapter 96 -159, Laws of Florida (1996), former DOAH hearing officers are now called administrative law judges. The City's Code has not yet been revised to reflect the title change. 5. Under this curious hybrid procedure, a board decision apparently can be sustained even if not sustainable by the evidence before the board. if sustainable by a combination of the evidence before the board alia ;the evidence before the hearing officer (and never before seen by the board). The opposite corollary to this curious procedure is that the board's decision can be reversed as not sustainable by the evidence based upon evidence presented for the first time before the hearing officer COPIES FURNISHED:' Timothy A.

Conditional Uses C�- C'9. (font. from 10115196) Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Umer Pinellas Comm Inc. (St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and proposed CHIP Shelter) to permit (1) public safety facility - police substation; and (2) residential shelter at 1339, 1341 & 1345 Park St., Brookwood Terrace, Blk 6, part of Lots 1, 2, 9 -13 & N Ys vacated street and Tagerelli Sub, OR 2, Lots 2 -4 and Overbrook Sub, Blk 6, Lots 7 -10 & unplatted land to the South, zoned CG (General Commercial). CU 9646 This item was continued to investigate an alternate location and obtain more information regarding density calculations. Mr. Shuford said staff researched four major issues raised at the last meeting, summarizing the results, as follows: 1) Zoning Intensity -- The proposed mixed use of police substation and residential shelter saturates the allowable density so no future expansion is possible; 2) Property Value Impacts -- A five year history of property values for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property, showed no clear indication the soup kitchen has had a significant negative impact; 3) Crime -- Research showed a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of homeless centers in Orlando and Jacksonville; and 4) Comorehensiv tress of Aooroach -- Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of locating shelters throughout the County to avoid overburdening any specific area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. Due to the controversial nature of the case, a question was raised whether members absent from the previous hearing may vote on the request today. Ms. Dougall -Sides responded absence would not prohibit a member from voting as long as the member was provided opportunity to review the minutes and background information packet. Because the public portion of the hearing had been closed prior to continuance, a question was raised whether the board wished to reopen the hearing to public comment, or receive the requested responses from the applicant alone. Member Mazur moved to reopen Case CU 96 -46 for public comments. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein spoke on behalf of the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project. He expressed concern regarding two issues he wished to note for the record. He stated Member Sickerstaffe's comment at the previous hearing, referring to homeless persons as muscle -bound gorillas, clearly shows a bias. Chief Klein submitted a document reflecting Mr. Bickerstaffe's involvement as a consultant to Clearwater Flying Corporation, owned by Dr. Gilbert Jannelli, one of the property owners contesting the conditional use application. Chief Klein felt such an association constitutes an ethical conflict of interest and asked Mr. Bickerstaffe to recuse himself from voting on this issue. Ms. Dougall -Sides indicated, based on the facts heard today, she did not consider this matter a legal conflict of interest under Florida Statutes. Member Bickerstaffe responded his comments were directed at seasonal street people who choose not to work, but travel here every winter to "vacation" in Florida's mild weather at taxpayers' expense. He said he intended no antagonism and felt the community should help full time residents who need assistance. He declined to recuse himself from voting. mpz 11 a.96 Post -It'" brand fax transmittal memo 7671 w or pages ► To From Co. iFox Dept. hone N yo Fax # 2 s 1 i 105196 APR -17 -1997 13 :35 CLEARWATER CITY CLERK 813 462 6488 P.002/005 C ( P t Referring to the document submitted with the staff report, Chief Klein reiterated the C issues and conclusions as reported by Mr. Shuford. He said downtown Clearwater has experienced a significant decrease in crime due to measures taken at the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen. CHIP has worked with Pinellas County comprehensively for three years to follow a planned five -year strategy to locate shelters throughout the County. He stressed the proposed shelter will be strictly tailored to provide homeless intervention. The proposal meets or exceeds the standards for approval of a conditional use and is a good start toward improving conditions existing around the soup kitchen. This shelter is the planned replacement for a temporary shelter that has operated without complaint since it was approved by the board. He asked the board to focus on the need for the shelter. Chief Klein responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding a single room occupancy program, funding for the proposed police substation, and how to ensure the substation will remain open once the three -year COPS grant expires. Discussion continued regarding shelter tenancy requirements, alternatives when capacity is reached, and the proposed client registration process. In response to a question, Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets. Discussion ensued regarding history of Chief Klein's involvement with the task force created to study this issue. Concern was expressed the proposal leaves no room for expansion to accommodate a clearly growing need. The applicant was strongly urged to consider another location where the surrounding uses and the zoning are more compatible with a homeless shelter. Brief discussion ensued regarding reasons for the crime rate decrease on a neighboring convenience store property. One person spoke in support of the application, stating the focus has been steered away from the real issue. The shelter is not the problem, but the solution to the problem caused by soup kitchen visitors. Putting a shelter a mile or two away from the soup kitchen will not solve existing problems in the residential and commercial areas, One letter from the soup kitchen President was submitted in support, citing additional details about the proposed shelter. Fifteen persons spoke in opposition to the application, reiterating many concerns expressed at the previous hearing regarding the adverse impact on the business and residential community. Additional concerns were cited as follows: 1) a financial institution has delayed financing a local property purchase pending the decision in this case; 2) fears of life endangerment; 3) difficulty selling tourist related businesses; 4) business vehicle trespass, vandalism, and fears of robbery; 5) transients bypassing the registration process; 6) trespassers, illegal activities, and personal belongings hidden in bushes on nearby residential properties endangering the health safety and welfare of neighborhood children; 7) request for more complete statistics regarding declining property values and numbers of people fed during the winter; 8) an organizational effort may be underway to relocate the soup kitchen; 9) request for a three year trial period, if approved, to ensure the police substation remains after grant funding runs out; 10) sufficient appropriate use exists on the subject and surrounding properties; 11) frequency and numbers of soup kitchen meals served to more than 180 people daily; 12) actual versus assessed property values; 13) property owners cease to report crimes experienced frequently and /or repeatedly over a long period of time, affecting accuracy of the police calls reports; 14) problems have quadrupled since the soup kitchen opened; 15) more homeless people will come to the area if they know they may find a place to mpz 11 a.96 3 11/05/96 APR -17 -1997 13:36 CLEARWATER CITY CLERK 813 462 6488 P.003i005 ( ( I I Weep; 16) insufficient perking, vehicular and pedestrian access; 17) many street people choose to be homeless and are creating another welfare generation; 18) proposed shelter zoning and the inappropriate location next door to a bar; 19) Chief Klein may have a financial conflict of interest because he stands to get more police officers; 20) seniors must board up windows to feel safe in their homes and are not able to sell their businesses and retire; and 21) a central approach would better contain the objectionable behaviors. Kline letters, two handouts and two petitions containing approximately 38 signatures, were submitted in opposition to the request, restating the above concerns. One photograph was submitted showing debris, bedding, and waste on a sidewalk outside a commercial property, An Associated Press newspaper article reported Justice Department grants funded many additional Florida police officers who only appear on paper. One supporter spoke in rebuttal, stating not all of the 180 people fed daily at the soup kitchen are homeless. He reiterated the shelter and the police substation are the solutions, not the problems. Six objectors spoke in rebuttal, restating many earlier concerns plus the following. 1) problems persist despite frequent police visits to the soup kitchen; 2) The location is not appropriate and 48 beds are not sufficient; 3) Reverse discrimination is being practiced against the taxpayers; and 4) funding is not in place to continue the operation after the first three years. Chief Klein issued a final statement and responded to questions from the board. He felt a _ three year trial period is an acceptable compromise. He said, if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed. He reiterated the property owners have met or exceeded every standard for approval for conditional use of their land. Regarding proof the use will not be detrimental to assessed values, he noted no negative pattern exists, but he cannot predict the future. He discussed the crime rate, hours of operation, and shelter supervision. Police officers will staff the shelter during peak hours, and cover the streets where they are needed the rest of the time. He asked the board not to focus on what can be accomplished by six new officers, but how they will supplement the policing community on duty around the clock. In response to questions it was indicated a full review of the case would occur at the end of any trial period. Chief Klein said the three years' Federal funding is not contingent upon the officers, but is intended to build the shelter. Public discussion was closed and board discussion ensued One member said the issue is not the combined use, but how the proposed use will impact surrounding property. The property owner has met the burden of showing the impact on surroundings and the potential benefit to the community. The shelter would be making a huge commitment by risking their operation on a three year trial period. One member suggested more perimeter lighting, no trespassing signs, a public relations committee to ease tensions with neighbors, and adequate sidewalk lighting. If one person gets a fresh start from the facility, the project will be worthwhile because how we deal with our homeless is important. mpzl 1 a.96 4 11/05196 APR -17 -1997 13 :36 Ct_EARWATER CITY CLERK 813 462 6488 P.004/005 V One member said voting against the proposal would leave the area as it is, while voting in favor would increase police presence in the area. One member said the decision must be based on whether the applicant has shown the standards of approval are met. The applicant has not shown the use will have no detrimental effect, or that a benefit will result. A question was raised regarding how the property value percentages are obtained and whether the numbers are accurate, if property owners give up reporting crimes after a while. One member said surrounding property owners should not be asked to set aside their potential for increase in favor of people who contribute nothing to the community, The proposal has not had sufficient long range planning, the site is too small, and the use is not compatible with surrounding uses, The existing police force can and should take care of the existing problem without a shelter. One member said the applicant has met the burden of proof and called for a motion. The organizations involved have a lifelong commitment to dealing with the homeless issue and, with proper oversight, will be able to make a positive impact. One member said it is difficult to vote because of acquaintance with Chief Klein and many homeless people. Concern was expressed a banker was withholding financing pending a decision on the shelter. Reference was made to a nightclub in Momingside the City had to purchase and close because it was a nuisance to the adjacent residential community. Concerns were expressed with accepting a Federal grant and subjecting the neighborhood to a project that the City might have to purchase after three years. It was suggested to consider building a police substation alone. General discussion ensued regarding the issues. Mr. Shuford said staff's research indicated crime goes down when a comprehensive approach is taken. Since crime and property devaluation are linked, logic would indicate going forward with the plan would not substantially negatively impact surrounding property values. One member felt it likely the shelter and police presence will alleviate crime enough to encourage an upward trend in property values. Another member did not agree and was not willing to risk someone else's property values based on the assumption fencing will solve the problem. It was felt the fears and concerns expressed by the majority of those speaking in opposition are valid and should be considered, unless it is clear benefits exist of which surrounding property owners are unaware. One member pointed out the complaints were associated with the soup kitchen operation. The board has no way to judge the proposed facility because it has no history in the community. One member said those who created the mess shown in the photograph are hard core homeless people who are not seeking public help and are not likely to sign up for rehabilitation or detoxification programs. Those who want assistance traditionally seek help from existing supporting agencies, like churches, for temporary lodgings or food. It was indicated many more than 48 people are in need of help and concern was expressed with attracting more people than can be accommodated. It was felt the registration procedure and rules of behavior will be sufficiently strict to discourage any who do not wish to improve themselves. mpz 11 a.96 5 11/05/96 A, I v APR -17 -1997 13:37 CLEARWATER CITY CLERK 813 462 6486 P.005i005 Member Kunnen moved to approve Item C1, CU 96-46, subject to rneatlao a/l the standards for approval plus the following conditions: 1) The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine monft from the date of this public hearing; 2) All site lighting shall be equipped with a 909 cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3) A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4) The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5) Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use; 6) Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis; and 7) Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Some felt fencing is needed to restrict pedestrian access through residential areas. Others felt fencing provides hiding places for criminals. The majority of the board did not support a condition to provide 24 -hour on -site security personnel at the shelter. Concern was expressed the supporters are grasping at a solution and misapplying it. It was indicated conditions are intended to mitigate any adverse effects that might occur, which is not possible due to the human element in this case. The motion was duly seconded. Members Merriam, Baron, Kunnen, and Hilkert voted "Aye "; Members Nixon, Mazur, and Sickerstaffe, voted "Nay." Motion carried.

The requested information is included in the board's packets. The City Traffic Engineering Department will work with the applicant to route vehicular traffic outside the loading area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. John Shern, authorized representative, stated staff's recommended conditions are acceptable. One board member expressed concern he had witnessed unacceptable conditions on the subject property and wished to ensure adequate access to pedestrian walkways and two -way vehicular access is provided. Mr. Shern responded to lengthy questioning regarding parking calculations, site configuration, facilities and access, fire lanes, reciprocal parking agreement with surrounding property owners, freight loading, mpz 11 a.96 6 11/05/96 TOTAL P.005 CONDITION #1 CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY LL 0' Hammond, Terry } Mmater U From: Shuford, Scott Sent: Monday, October 27, 1997 5:00 PM Interoffice Correspondence Sheet To: Hammond, Terry Subject: RE: Condition One: Conditional Use Compliance Through your good faith efforts to comply, you have met that condition.- see my earlier memo on this subject.

One portion of condition 1, speaks to the time frame for completion. I'm not sure if Carol reviewed this with you, but she raised prior concern with meeting the original projected time frame. As you will know there were quite a few delays in getting the project . underway. This had to do with the Construction bids coming in a t a higher level than our funding base. This required our going back to County and City CDBG for additional funds. The soil testing, e)ravation and fill took far longer than a )pected; yet proved beneficial and quite necessary. The process did not begin until I took this position on June 9th. Consequently, we will not meet the original 9 month deadline. Although the contractor's timeline indicates a March 1 Completion, I do not envision CO's being issued until the end of March. I ask your direction in this matter as to whether an wdention may be granted, and what the process might be. Please advise. I thank you for your attention in this matter.

As you will know, one of the conditions of our Zoning Board approval for the new CHIP Center was to attempt to put in place a means of egress from the Center to Cleveland Street. You will also know that we attempted many times to obtain the necessary easement to provide such a route straight north to Cleveland from the Center, but were repeatedly thwarted in our attempts. Finally, we were told by Mr. Scott Shuford that we had acted in good faith and that we should proceed in considering a Park Street to Evergreen to Cleveland route for pedestrian traffic. We were directed by him to pursue with your office the erection of several pedestrian signs along Cleveland and Evergreen, directing people along this route. This was done last December. Our Director also had signs posted at The Salvation Army and Soup Kitchen informing clients that they must respect private property and use this route; not walk across private lots. This same sign has now been produced on metal signs for posting on neighborhood fences and the CHIP program agencies. Having done all that we can, we now have requested your assistance in laying a sidewalk on the south side of Park Street, running east from the CHIP Center to Evergreen. While pedestrians are now using this route, we feel it would be a good gesture on the part of the City to place a sidewalk there, as this would enhance the neighborhood as well as emphasize that this is the proper route. As this is not on CHIP or St. Vincent de Paul property, you indicated that the neighboring properties which front this route would have to grant permission and easements.

Seriously, said bridge is doable, but requires Swifmud approval and permitting; but structure costs and engineering would be cost prohibitive; perhaps $100,00 or more. Sir, Two weeks ago I mailed a letter to both Donald McFarland (atty. for the Tsekas family) and to the Jami AI Salaam organization in the above referenced matter. I attached copies of previous correspondence, and surveys. I specifically asked McFarland for some direction as to the current owner is. It is still listed a t Permitting as Tsekas. I received no reply. I called Mc Farland's office last week and left detailed message with his secretary. he was in meeting with a client. I referenced the letter and the clients names. To date I have received no reply. I did not mail the letters as registered mail. Please advise as to what steps I should now take. Dr. Jannelli suggested a bridge straight West across the bridge, which would then cross, I believe, city property. I have a call into Tom Miller as to environmental and maintenance concerns. If this is not feasable, I need a statement as to your opinion, and your alternative suggested route, such as sidewalks east on Park then North on e)dsting sidewalk to Cleveland. Can you also give me the name, again, of the person to talk to regardimg pedestrian signs to CHIP? I appreciate your continuued guidance On a related matter, Florida power is specifying a dimmer bulb for the South Parking area; and a spot light to project into the NorthEast corner of the parking area.

We are in the process. of obtaining all of the required permits to begin the construction of our emergency homeless shelter adjacent to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen. One of the requirements placed on our organization by the Planning and Zoning Board in our conditional use permit hearing was the inclusion of a sidewalk from our proposed structure direct to Cleveland Street along the eastern boundary of the St. Vincent de Paul property. However, the parcel where we are building does not connect with Cleveland Street. The property belonging to Jami Al Salam, Inc. includes the last few feet to the north of our parcel and precludes our connection to Cleveland Street. Therefore, we are requesting that Jami Al Salam, Inc. grant a sidewalk easement through its property (on the east of the creek) to St. Vincent de Paul Society. If possible, I would like to schedule a meeting with yourself, or whoever from Jami Al Salam, Inc. that would be appropriate, to discuss our request. I will be out of town from April 511 through April 136, but hope that we can schedule a meeting during the week of April 14'x.

JeM Othrand , fi, 1�e 4 Copy to Chief Klien City of Clearwater Mary Lou - president of soup kitchen Jay Meyer Meyers - Plisko To: Ronnie Tzekas FEY 13 8 ss 4M tW From: Jerry Gehrand,' Pr Re: Property St. Vincent de Paul bou lit fiom Rnver,Imer. Ronnie: Tzekas Family - Dalito, Raim, 1~ I have not talked to you since our property talks, but hoping all is well with you and the family. I understand business is doing well and you are opening a new restaurant at 66th and 88th - wishing you continued good fortunes on it. I'm not sure how aware or familiar you are with what we are attempting to do with the property. At the risk of being boring I'll summarize what and why we are doing and how it relates to you. One of our problems at the soup kitchen as it relates to the neighborhood, is that we need to turn around our negative impact we have caused some of our neighbors. We need 24 hr. supervision and increased policing of our clients. With these requirements, we have been able to become involved in the creation of a coalition of many reputable groups. It is called the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program (CHIPS). The groups involved and all working together are Salvation Army, Clearwater Homeless Coalition, City of Clearwater and the Clearwater Police Dept. and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. We, the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen are donating the land we bought from you at no charge. We are that committed to improving our impact on the neighborhood. To be built on the Bite would be fully (24hr.) supervised facility with 48 bed homeless shelter and a Clearwater Police Dept. Substation. The shelter will be for people currently enrolled in programs to turn their life around -not for the habitually homeless. We see this as large commitment on our part to positively change our impact on the neighborhood. . While there are many obstacles, one is that the zoning board requires us to have a sidewalk directly to Cleveland Street. As you can see by the attached site plan, our land purchased from you comes to a point at Cleveland. So we need a small easement from you to comply with this sidewalk. We previously talked to your attorney Mc Farland and he said he did not think this would be a problem. Then at a zoning meeting Dr. Jannelli (who is opposed to our project).and his attorney said they had talked with someone in your family and said you would not give us an easement. I guess the explanation is that you were angry because you property was turned down in a zoning meeting for a Mosque. I'm confused; we have no objection and in fact would support your use, while Dr. Jannelli is on record as being either opposed to or has concerns about your zoning change. All we can do is proceed with asking for your allowing us this easement, and let your judgment be your, guide. We talked again with attorney McFarland and we will submit this request along with a survey of this easement with legal description. I talked with Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein (who has consistently supported this on -site police substation) this morning and he said he would deliver this legal work under separate cover. The alternative, unfortunately is for this soup kitchen to remain as is. We feel this is a disservice to the neighborhood. I must leave town for a few days Thursday but progress will continue. Feel free to call me(home 725 -2318 or office 572 -7080; Our kitchen president Mary Lou Guthardt at 441 -3790 weekdays between 9:00 and 12.00 in the morning or Chief Klein at Clearwater Police Dept. Thank you for your time and consideration. As we have over 200 volunteers at the soup kitchen (NON OF WHOM ARE PAID) our motivation is not one of greed. We also are property owners ourselves and realize. the importance of maintaining area property values. A similar facility(though much larger) was done in Orlando and property value in the immediate area increased as a result because of increased security. Jerry Gehrand P.S. I'm sorry to be so terribly long winded!!

Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project officials say an apar4mentlike facility nearby will help those ready to move on get back to . normal living. By ROBERT FARLEY Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER — Five years after opening a shelter on Park Street, the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Proj ect'is_ planning to.expand with a small, apartmentlike transitional housing proj- ect nearby. . The eight -unit project is geared to- ward graduates of the CHIP program who need to take a, more gradual step toward living on their own. In the transi- tional housing, up to 10 residents will pay their own bills but will still. get a daily visit from a case manager. "It didn't make sense to get people off the street arid. into CHIP„ get them the help they need to get stabilized; :and then send them out the door, where they were; likely to wind up right back on: the street, said Clearwater police Chid, Sid Klein, president of the CHIP board of directors. It's not easy getting off, And staying A rendering shows how the CHIP transitional housing, project would look. As many as 10 residents could live atthe.$575,000 facility, where the. two buildings will face inward toward a gated courtyard: offi-`the. street, said Michael Braun,'46•, people need to "take control of their who has been living at CHIP ;for eight. destiny," he said. months This is his third. stint at CHIP, °It will give „a chance for folks to Divorce, ;alcohol, .DUIs, jail and spend some tiirxe, 10 get. back on their throat cancer. Each has played a role in feet, "' Braun said. "It puts them in a less his:: return ,to::the shelter. Transitional coitroiled situation. You have to do stuff housing may be just what he± and other on your: own .to get back in the swing of things, to get back on your own." Developed by city leaders to take on the growing homeless problem down- town, CHIP is. a rules -heavy program. Residents must find work, take self- -help classes and budget their money. Show ing up drunk will get you tossed out. Going from such a structured environ- ment to total independence can be hard for, som��pEOp1e, :CHIP program direc- tor Ed Brant.said;.. . `.`People corning. out of shelters have ,to• relearn .some very `basic life skills," Brant said: It can be,as``simple as cleaning up, ..:cooking, paying." bills and buying and insuring a car. While the average stay in the.,shelter is 16 days, most residents will., probably stay in the transitional housing forr.six months, Brant said. . "The whole goal is to get people from homeless to self - sufficient in main- stream society," executive director Car- ole Ciokiewicz said. CHIP lies at the end of Park Street, next to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen.' It has purchased two homes next to the soup kitchen, which will be demolished to make way for the transi- tional living apartments. The project,is. expected to cost $57"0,000 ,The state'has already commit- ted $370,000 toward the facility, and the Please see HOUSING I Page 5 Housing from Page 1 city will pay the remaining $205,000. Provided the project gets city approval, it could be built in six months, Ciokiewicz said. Residents will pay 30 percent of their gross income monthly as a "service fee" to stay there. Of that 40 to 50 percent will be put aside, so when they leave they will have money to put toward permanent housing. The housing is designed to look like apartments. The two buildings will face inward toward a gated courtyard. " Mis should be invisible to the neighborhood," Ciokiewicz said. "These are the most stabilized folks, ready to take the next step." At a community meeting last week, several neighbors objected to CHIP's expansion. Why, they wanted to know, should their neighborhood be the recipient of the city's homeless? The neighbor- hood is a mix of businesses, homes and apartments. Klein . said CHIP had always faced opposition from the not -in- � my- backyard crowd. But it has..-.. worked hard to be a good neigh- bor. The Police Department has, a. substation in the shelter, which' provides an added measure of safe==_ ty, he said. Opened in April 1998, the shel - ter now with 62 beds — has been filled to capacity every day: since. The transitional housing wild open up some more room in the shelter, Klein said, "but by no means is it going to solve the issue of homelessness in Clearwater." . Said Ciokiewicz, "This, is .a small step but an important step to help these folks back to self -suffi- ciency. ) Park Street • P.O.

Ed Brant Web Site: www.dearwaterpolice.com/chip March 10, 2003 Dear Neighbors: In the five years since the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project moved into the neighborhood, we have seen improvements and growth in the area. We have also seen the continual need for the services that CHIP provides to those individuals that find themselves without shelter and other basic human needs. For these people, we strive to establish programs that will help them move from their current circumstances to self - sufficiency. CHIP is moving toward the establishment of a transitional living program for working people moving out of a shelter situation. This program is designed to assist with learning or re- learning how to live self- sufficiently, yet still have the support system of Case Management. The apartment concept will be new construction and will have an apartment complex -like feel and d6cor. When CHIP first opened, we started a Neighborhood Advisory Council to give us guidance and suggestions on how we could work together to benefit those individuals that we serve and still keep our area safe, clean, and comfortable. We are looking at re- establishing this group and are having a community meeting to discuss what CHIP has planned for the future. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 26' at 7:00 PM in the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Chapel, located at 1345 Park Street. We invite your suggestions, and any other concerns that we as neighbors need to address. We hope you will be able to attend. If you have any questions, please call Carole Ciokiewicz, CHIP's Executive Director, at 467 -4337.

Carlisle Treasurer SPRING 2003 Vol.2 /No. 1 I grew up in Clearwater and have watched Clearwater grow from a sleepy little town with a sparkling white beach into a pretty good -sized town. Our downtown; like many older cities, has seen better days. We have many vacant storefronts and our downtown is not utilized by everybody like it could be. We have many assets worth capitalizing on, however, and we continue to, be optimistic about our chances of reviving our once thriving downtown neighborhood. One of the many things about our downtown that makes up the overall diversity is our homeless population. I have worked among them as a downtown businessman. They are part of our community and probably always will be. ; I've also observed them with my camera as an artist. So it , seemed appropriate to learn more about homelessness so I r �r •= r;g�» x +, f had a better understanding of some of the truths and misconceptions surrounding their situation. Homeless people are people just like we are. I think many of us have a tendency to look down on them or even worse, look pg�jt them as if they didn't exist. Most of them had normal lives i like you and me at one time, I suspect. I learned that not every person living on the streets or in their car is what many mistakenly label as the archetypal train - riding "hobo." Certainly those types of hard -core homeless exist and some are among those that live here. They often don't want any help and are resigned to staying the way that they are. These people might resort to panhandling; although it has been my experience our city really doesn't have much aggressive panhandling. I've experienced it in cities like San Francisco and New York, but our homeless seem passive and tend to mind their own'business. But many, I learned, are accidentally homeless and had a case of bad luck. Possibly it was some unforeseen major medical bills that came at the wrong time. Or losing their home could have been related to losing their job. The saddest thing to me is families that are out on the street There is a shortage of emergency housing for families and it is truly heartbreaking to see children that need a place to stay. The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) attempts to deal with this and other issues surrounding homelessness. We are so fortunate that our Chief of Police has helped create this wonderful facility and its valuable programs that get people in need off the street. It provides the time and assistance to get their situation stabilized and back into private housing. CHIP is a common sense approach to proactively tackling.a tough problem by the use of many social service agencies like The Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, Directions for Mental Health, and neighborhood bike police all working together to provide much needed counseling and advice in addition to a temporary living arrangement. With the soup kitchen next door, CHIP offers career, housing and other kinds of counseling related to health issues. It is a helping hand, not a handout I think our city is a better place A Harld UP since CHIP was established. 1 think most other downtown business owners agree. Not Hand OUT CHIP needs your support. Give generously of both your time and money to help CHIP maintain its valuable programs and facilities. Make yearly contributions and support the annual gala and other fund - raisers.

We have also seen the continual need for the services. that CHIP provides to those individuals that find themselves without shelter and other basic human needs. To these people we strive to establish programs to help move them from their current circumstances to being viable members of our community again. CHIP is moving toward an establishment of a living program for working people coming out. of a shelter situation. This program is designed to assist with learning or relearning how to live self - sufficiently, yet still have the support system of Case Management. The complex will be a new construction and will have an apartment building feel and decor. It will be located just east of the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and will provide eight apartments for CHIP's graduates from the shelter. The architectural firm of Arc' has been selected through the bidding process to design the CHIP a Parkbrooke Apartments and is working closely with Turnstone Properties, Inc., CHIP's project manager for this important transitional housing phase.

There are some long- term plans which should help solve part of the problem. Our guests get a nourishing supper 7 nights a week prepared and served by volunteers from the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and several local churches. Volunteers are always welcome and need to work 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. one Might a week. It is very uplifting to work for the CHIP residents as they always verbalize their appreciation. Do you have names on your holiday gift list of people who have everything? Why not honor them with a donation in their name to CHIP - no fighting the mall crowds and no gift - wrapping! FALLIWINTER 2002103 Vol.1lNo. 3 This year will find us continuing to give the homeless "a hand up, not a hand out" so d-iey may become productive citizens. We wish you and those you love a happy holiday season. Emergency Shelter Program: During the past program year (10/1/01 - 9/30/02), overnight shelter has been provided through the CHIP shelter to 954 adult males (last year 801), 313 adult females (last year 271), and 55 children (last year 74). These individuals have also participated in the CHIP program elements of counseling, goal planning, obtaining employment, budgeting, and accepting the responsibility to change their lives. Because CHIP is an emergency shelter that focuses on single individuals, the 45 families (last year 61) had temporary emergency shelter at CHIP this past year were moved quickly into family shelters, transitional programs, Section 8 or Supportive Housing, or reunited with family and /relocated to other parts of the countLi,,. For the single individuals completing the shelter programs, there is a 93% success rate (i.e., obtaining housing and not returning to CHIP for 12 months). jgary Lou 6uthart Secretary eeo oeo -ef'� Daytime Outreach Program: The CHIP Day Center is open everyday and has an average of 66 individuals (last year 46) utilizing services daily throughout the year with peaks of about 100 individuals daily during certain seasonal periods. This year, 1870 adult males (last year 1411), 505 adult females (last year 395) and 29 children (last year 20) have utilized the services provided through the CHIP Day Center -- which aims to make sure the homeless in our community know where they can meet with counselors, take care of immediate physical needs, and start making life changes that lead to getting off the streets. Many. homeless individuals come into the Day Center more than once; in fact, it may take several sessions for a homeless individual to start making the choices and changes that will lead to self sufficiency. During this fiscal year, 719 (last year 500) new (i.e., not previously seen) homeless adult' ndividuals came through the CHIP Day Center doors. H ®w YOU Can Help! Give Clothing: Donate items when you clean out your closets. Buy and donate new items —a package of new socks and underwear go a long way to giving a psychological lift. Warm coats, hats, gloves and blanket that you no longer want can be put to good use. Ask Your Congregation to Help: Suggest that part of the regular offering be donated to the homeless. Give Money: Make donations in memory of a late family member or friend. When inviting guest to birthday or anniversary celebrations, ask for a donation to the homeless as your gift. Support CHIP's fundraising projects — buy tickets to the annual gala and attend functions. Bring Food.- ® Form a group with friends /relatives and prepare a meal for the CHIP Shelter once a month. Or, as an individual, prepare a dish to contribute. e Bring left over food from a function or party to the CHIP Shelter. ® Load up a bag of non - perishable groceries to donate.

Lost in ones' own despair, not quite remembering how you ended up on the streets. Worrying where your next meal will come from, whether you will wake up at all from your sleep in some bushes, a car, or under a bridge. Having long since forgotten what life was like when there was hope. Wondering if any- one even cares that you are a human being. For those who are experi- encing these feelings, there is indeed hope in this area. The Clearwa- ter Homeless Interven- tion Project (CHIP) is there to help. In 1993, Clearwater police Chief Sid Klein responded to growing concerns on the prob- lems and the needs of homeless individuals presenting themselves in the downtown area. Chief Klein recommend- ed to the City Commis- sion that a special task force be established to determine alternatives for the city to deal with homelessness within our community. The task force shied away from Band -Aid ap- proaches and as a pilot project they established a temporary cold nigh shelter in a vacant building on the edge o downtown at Cleveland Street and Missouri Av- enue. The number o people seeking shelter at that first facility dis- turbingly exceeded all expectations. Yet,. through the cooperation and partnership of Everybody's Tabernacle, the Clearwater Police Department, and the Salvation Army, the winter shelter program survived that first win- ter. The Clearwater Police Department donated a doublewide mobile home for the shelter project, envisioning a drop off center. Working with the task force, the City Commission aided the project with funding and variances. But the 15 =bed facility, which began at Everybody's Tabernacle, was not enough -.. the shelter was filled to capacity every night. A larger fa- cility was required. The task force contin- ued to bring new insight and additional re- sources, and transcend- ed into.what we know today as CHIP, which is a registered charitable organization. The St. Vincent de Paul Society t stepped forward and of- fered fered a property adja- cent to their existing Soup Kitchen on Park Street. f Today, CHIP is mak- ing a positive impact in our community by offer- ing homeless men and women safe housing and a full range of ser- vices to help them be- come independent and participating members of the community. In the past year, more than 1,100 homeless in- dividuals have received shelter in CHIP's emer- gency shelter program and daytime outreach services have been �pro- vided to more than 1,800 homeless per- sons. These services in- clude shower and laundry facilities and supplies; mental health counseling, job counsel- ing: assistance with contacting families; as- sistance in contacting appropriate services and legal agencies; and local telephone service to the Community Voice Mail system. For those who have completed CHI resi- dential programs since the center opened in April 1998, the success rate is 93 percent! CHIP collects no fees from its residents and relies on government, corporate, congregational and indi- vidual donors to sup- port its programs. A caring staff of 12, many of whom are part-time, is supplemented by a dedicated corps of vol- unteers who meet vari- ous needs. From my point of view, CHIP became not just another homeless shelter, but rather an expression of everything that is good about Clearwater. Many good citizens, city officials, businesses and private residents banded to- gether to find . a solution to the problem of home- lessness. From critical human needs such as food and shelter, to nui- sance activity such as loitering, littering, ad- dictions, vandalism and exploitation of the poor - all are problems, relat- ed to homelessness. CHIP is "ground zero" for Clearwater's unified effort in building a way out of homelessness for those who will meet the challenge. This is a pro- ject that needs all of our support! If you would like to help by volun- teering or making a do- nation, please contact Carole Ciokiewicz at 467 -4337. 6 0>-- Mr. John Q. Sample 12450 Automobile Blvd Clearwater FL 33762 -4427 Dear Mr. Sample: Summer is here! And whether you're a fan or not, chances are this season you'll join thousands of others in our ballparks to enjoy baseball — the Great American Pastime. Did you know that for the price of a couple of tickets you could help a person who is homeless? You can help someone like Janet who was a nurse at local hospitals for over 15 years. Janet suffers from an anxiety disorder and had been estranged from her family for at least 5 years when she turned to CHIP for help. Once enrolled in our program, Janet received the assistance she needed to begin piecing her life back together. CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project) works year round to help people like Janet. The homeless individuals we serve have each come to this point in their lives for unique reasons. But most share similar traits — the loss of respect for themselves and the lack of courage to overcome their life situation on their own. The daytime outreach program at CHIP has helped over 1,700 individuals in the past twelve months — providing bathing and laundry facilities, local telephone and mail service, personal hygiene items, mental health counseling, job counseling, and meals. In this same year, the CHIP emergency shelter has provided 17,520 nights of shelter to individuals working their way back to self - sufficiency. Each of us deserves a chance at the American dream, don't we? Like baseball., the opportunities found at CHIP areas representative of our.country's ideals as apple pie and the Stars and Stripes. That is why CHIP exists and that is why we continue to need your help. As you plan activities during our active baseball season, please remember that this time of year is a critical time financially for many people. By 'stepping into the "game" and supporting CHIP, you will be helping others regain self - respect through self - reliance. Won't you step up to the plate:for.the home team? Your contribution of $15, $25, $50 or whatever you can share will make a real:and tangible difference in the lives of those who are homeless. Together we can go the distance! Sincerely, Carole L. Ciokiewicz, Executive Director Major Funding Sources: City of Clearwater; City of Clearwater Community Development Block Grant funds; Pinellas County Social Action Grant funds; State of Florida Department of Children & Families Grant funds; private donations. SUMMER 2002 Vol.1 /No.2 Letterfrom the Vice President In our last newsletter you learned about the birth of CHIP and where we are today. In this article, I'd like to highlight the need for continuing services as it relates to CHIP and its partners, and where we see ourselves in the future. The need for CHIP services is great; just as great as the need to have a place for those who use our services after they leave.t In most cases these individuals would benefit greatly, and be most successful, if they go through transitional housing as a part of the continuum of care that we strive to promote. Where does one go in our community after CHIP? The next likely place would be either public housing or subsidized housing. CHIP is aggressively pursuing the creation of transitional housing via Jacgueline Riclera, Dice Presideitt its partners and new grant funding. Although the main focus is to support the shelter with comprehensive services, in order to keep its doors open CHIP must find a place for its "graduates" to go. Without this next step, these individuals may be in need of CHIP services once again. The work that we accomplish through CHIP has a lasting impact on so many people in our community. We know that by creating the long -term housing opportunities that we must have we can make room for others who need our services. We should remember that the people we serve, through CHIP or through transitional housing, are someone's son or daughter, brother or sister, mother or father - it makes no difference whether we know these people personally. I encourage you to visit our shelter so that you can see first -hand how your support can make a positive difference in our community !%ac9ae�,te �irre�a Jacqueline Rivera, Vice President Sid Klein, President Jacqueline Rivera, slice President Mary Lou Guthart, Secr etar_Y Joseph Huenke, Treasurer CHIP ."A HAND U 20 02 Board Members Steven D_ Carlisle Whitney Gray Ron Joyce Joanne Kavanagh Carol Lowrey County Commissioner, Karen Seel Maj.

(better known as "CHIP ") opened its doors in April 1998, providing two programs — Emergency - Shelter and Daytime Outreach — for the homeless in our community. CHIP is a unique collaboration of many social set vice organizations, Clearwater Police Department, local churches and the community. During the past year, CHIP provided 17,520 nights of shelter for over 1,100f. men, women, and children. CHIP's Day Center is open daily to an average of 50 -_ .'.r 100 individuals. This year, there were about 23,000 visits to CHIP's daytime outreach .' center. Many homeless individuals come to the Day Center more than once; in fact, it may take several sessions for a homeless individual to start making the choices and changes that will lead to self sufficiency. ry CHIP just added 14 new beds in the men's dorm. However, even this added capacity is full every night. There are over 2,400 homeless in Pinellas Sid Klein, President County on any given day with only about 300 emergency shelter beds. We've come far - but we still have a long way to go. We are at a challenging point in our development as funding resources contract and need increases. The effects of the economic downturn and the terrorist activities of September 11``' have had a serious impact on charitable contributions throughout our country.

(better known as "CHIP ") opened the CHIP Center doors in April 1998. CHIP provides two programs — Emergency Shelter and Daytime Outreach — for the homeless in our community. (Emergency Shelter Program: During the past program year (10/l/00 – 9/30/01), overnight accommodations have been provided through the CHIP shelter to 801 adult males, 271 adult females, and 74 children. These individuals have also participated in the CHIP program elements of counseling, goal planning, obtaining employment, budgeting, and accepting the responsibility to change their lives. Because CHIP is an emergency shelter that focuses on single individuals, the 61 families who had temporary emergency shelter at CHIP this past year were moved quickly into family shelters, transitional housing programs, Section 8 or Supportive Housing, or reunited with family and /or relocated to other parts of the country. For the single individuals completing the shelter programs, there is a 95% success rate (i.e., obtaining housing and not returning to CHIP for 12 months). Daytime Outreach Program: The CHIP Day Center is open everyday and has an average of 46 individuals utilizing services daily throughout the year with peaks of about 100 individuals daily during certain seasonal periods.

Z,, �) The Clearwater pq 4r +t 4 :r r -. 7 Intervention Project Carole Cloklevvlcz n the early 1990s, an increasing number of citizens, city officials, and nonprofit organizations focused on designing a program that would address the needs of homeless people in the Clearwater, Florida, community. By 1993, the community had growing concerns about the city's ability to address the presence, prob- lems, and needs of homeless individu- als in the near - downtown area. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein first responded to these concerns by rec- ommending that the Clearwater City Commission establish a special task force of community stakeholders to determine alternative approaches to dealing with the homeless in the com- munity. From the outset, the task force tried to be responsive to the needs of the entire community— including resi- dents, the business community, and the homeless people themselves —and to find a logical, realistic, and longlasting solution. The task force shied away from "quick fixes" that would simply keep the homeless out of sight. Clearwater police officers Steve Sears and Carl Conyers are part of the downtown bicycle team that keeps the streets of Clearwater safe. only by homeless people, but also by the community as a whole. By assess- ing the matter at hand from the very beginning, project partners hoped to better serve the community further down the road. The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) opened the CHIP Center doors in April 1998. Under the leadership of Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein, the CHIP program has had an impact on thousands of lives by directing those individuals who have found themselves in the "ranks" of the homeless toward self- sufficiency. The task force's pilot project was a temporary cold night shelter in a vacant building on the edge of the downtown area. This winter shelter program sought to gain a better understanding of the numbers of indi- viduals and types of issues faced not A disturbingly large and unexpected number of individuals sought shelter at the winter facility. Because of the cooperation and partnership of Every- body's Tabernacle (an established street ministry), the Clearwater Police De- partment, and the Salvation Army, however, the Cold Night Shelter program survived its first winter. Confronting Issues and Dismantling Barriers The task force proceeded to design a program that would not only shelter individuals, but also would confront homeless individuals to identifiv how they became homeless and what barri- ers prevented them from securing housing and becoming self - sufficient. The Salvation Army —which already had a day center for homeless people — agreed to operate a night shelter on the grounds of Everybody's Tabernacle on a trial basis. The Clearwater Police Department also recognized the need for an overnight shelter and a drop - off center to serve as an alternative to incarceration; thev donated and moved a double«ide trailer to serve as the new shelter. The city commission also provided partial funding for the project. The shelter officially opened in October 1994, 1 year after the city had launched its pilot Cold Night cesrtinrred mfr I;agr 19 The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project canti w-a'imm 1wgr 10 Shelter program. Because the 15 -bed facility filled to above capacity every night, the homeless intervention proj- ect was moved to the nearby Salvation Army facility, and the trailer left at Everybody's Tabernacle became a kitchen and dining facility for home- less people. The task force continued to recruit members who could bring new insight and additional resources to the table. In 1998, the task force transcended into what is known today as the Clear- water Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP), an IRS- registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The group continued to search for property that would be accessible to $e homeless population and provide sufficient space for case management and coun- seling services. When Chief Klein dis- cussed this search with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, a charitable organiza- tion that had supported the Chief's efforts from the beginning, the society stepped forward and offered CHIP property adjacent to the society's existing soup kitchen. The property had the space needed to implement the best possible program, and its connection to the soup kitchen meant that homeless people would not have to travel across town to get from one service to another. Looking From the Outside In A police substation was planned within the facility to be staffed by bicycle - equipped officers. This unique police program, funded by a grant from the Community Oriented Policing Serv- ices (COPS) program, U.S. Depart- ment of Justice, would help the CHIP program provide heightened community outreach, promote public safety, and make an important contri- bution to the neighborhood's sense of community and the planned rede- velopment of downtown Clearwater. CHIP also established a Neighbor- hood Advisory Council of CHIP offi- cials and neighborhood residents to build an effective partnership between the CHIP shelter and its neighbors. The Neighborhood Advisory Council— with the full cooperation and partici- pation of CHIP staff and clients — became a springboard for community action, pride, neighborhood crime watch, and neighborhood cleanup. CHIP's mission is to teach people about compas- sion, respect, and responsibility. Today, CHIP is not just another homeless shelter. It also is a community center that bands together Clearvater's citizens, officials, social service profes- sionals, businesses, and private residents to find a solution to the common problem of homelessness. All problems that relate to homelessness — including the need for food and shelter and the threat of loiter- ing, littering, addiction, and exploitation of the poor —need to be addressed in a realistic way. CHIP has created a con- tinuum of service and opportu- nities that enable anv individual who so chooses to actively and responsibly solve the problems that contribute to his or her homeless condition. The Projects Mission Three words govern CHIP's mission: compassion, respect, and responsibility. Compassion The natural compassion that people feel toward fellow human beings is the reason that people care about what happens to the homeless. It is what causes the community to pitch in and provide the homeless person with the minimal comforts that sustain life, regardless of who he or she is or why he or she is homeless. Compassion also is the driving force that causes people to wonder why an individual succumbs to living on the streets. CHIP uses this driving force to ask those tough questions that will help assess each homeless person's needs and what must be done to overcome the situation. Respect CHIP respects the basic human rights and dignity of every individual, regard- less of whether he or she is homeless. Respect is earned, not simply assumed. Clients are expected to treat one anoth- er with respect, respect the CHIP pro- gram and its volunteers and staff, and respect the law and private property. If clients do not abide by these rules, they —like all people —must suffer the consequences. Responsibility To increase the likelihood of a client's success, each person is required to take responsibility for his or her own actions. CHIP fully expects its clients to contribute to their own well -being and take positive steps toward solving their problems. In its broadest con- text, CHIP helps homeless people access services around town and chal- lenges them— through partnership with the local police department — to respect the rights of others and to conduct themselves in a responsible manner while they are on the streets. CHIP also challenges the community to support the program by providing CHIP and its clients with financial sup- port, resource development, jobs, and decent and affordable housing. 1_ //Ztv/rJVPJ :J.Yj_; er_rv;�4wa.a.?

Emergency Shelter Program: During the past program year (October 1, 1999 — September 30, 2000), overnight accommodations have been provided through the CHIP shelter to 819 adult males, 294 adult females, and 141 children.

The primary purpose for the Day Center is to have the individuals know that there is a program where they can meet with counselors, take care of immediate physical needs, and start making the s 'r decision to get off the streets. We see many of the individuals that come into the Day Center more than once, but it may take several sessions for an individual to start making the changes that will lead them off the streets.

The National Survey of Homeless Assistance Providers and Clients, published in December 1999, used these specific conditions to classify persons as currently homeless: CHIP Newsletter The interviewees reported staying in any of the following places on the day of the survey or dur- ing the seven -day period prior to being interviewed: • An emergency shelter or transitional housing program, or Hotel or motel paid for by a shelter voucher, or An abandoned building, a place of business, a car or other vehicle, or anywhere outside. The persons interviewed: I'm not • Reported that the last time they had "a place of their own for 30 days or REALLY more in the same place" was more than seven days prior, or homeless. I m just Said their last period of homelessness ended within the last seven days, or • Were selected for inclusion in the survey at an emergency shelter or staying at a transitional housing program, or friends for now. " • Reported getting food from "the shelter where you live" within the last seven days, ora,� • On the day of the interview, said they stayed in their own or someone else's place but that they "could not sleep there for the next month ? without being asked to leave." A "Hand Up, Not Hand -Out" This concept has really been demonstrated within the CHIP Shelter Services over the past two years since the current CHIP shelter opened. The Salvation Army's Homeless Intervention Program at CHIP is based on the individual learning to accept responsibility for choices that need to be made and striving to make the choice that will better his /her personal circumstances. We have seen individuals start their own businesses, rise to management positions within companies, and maintain employment and become self- sufficient. Not all individuals are ready for this type of commitment; but when they are ready, we're here for them. The shelter has provided a safe and secure haven for people to readjust to being off the streets or being without housing. Eighty percent of those who complete the program are still employed and have their own place to live. Others have reunited with families, entered rehabilitation programs, taken care of obligations that have kept them from moving forward and have started making the choices that help them become self- sufficient. To all these, people we say "good job and keep up the struggle!" "Eighty percent of those who have completed the CHIP are still employed and have their own place to live.

But its resources are insufficient, some say. By CHRISTINA HEADRICK Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER — Roy Schaap and Lisa Dressel camped out last week near Hercules Avenue and Gulf -to-Bay Boulevard. For a bed, they had an old sleeping bag, a warm blanket and a couch pillow. In the mornings, the couple got a hot meal — usually their only meal — ladled onto metal trays at the St. V- iincent de Paul Soup Kitchen down- town. If not for the food pantry and its emergency shelter next door, the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, the pair say they would be in much worse shape. This is not a lifestyle I want to keep," Dressel said. "I had a nice place before in Chicago. I had worked for 10 years to get all the stuff I had. I'd rather have a place again to call home." But making it into a new apart- ment seems impossible, Dressel said, without a job or place where she can save money and get treatment for manic depression. And she is not alone. Far more homeless people in Clearwater need help than local programs can handle, police Chief Sid Klein told the City Commission last week in a special report. "There is no more room at the inn," Klein said. "What we have done, while it's working, is not going to solve the problem." Klein urged the commissioners to support CHIP's efforts to do more. The immediate goal is to lasso a regular source of funding for CHIP. Because of cuts in funding from Pi- nellas County this fall, for instance, the homeless - service group began the fiscal year with $35,225 less than it needs to operate. But in the long run, city leaders, downtown business owners and so- cial workers say there is a great need for CHIP and organizations like it to Provide additional services. CHIP would like to add a "transi- tional- housing" facility, where people could live for about a year paying low rent. Meanwhile, tenants could work, save money and receive counseling or other kinds of help they need. The facility would be the link between the emergency shelter's ser- Please see HOMELESS Page 6 At, , 01 � d Times photo —JILL SAGMS cigarette as Roy Schaap prepares to roll one for himself Friday in Coachman Park.

Most commissioners approved of the idea. "Right now, the problem is bet- ter than it was," said Commission- er Ed Hooper, who sits on CHIP's board. "But it's a Band -Aid. There's no way to get it better than to have something more than a 48-bed facility." The number of homeless peo- ple in need of help locally is hard to estimate. Various agencies countywide provide 619 emergency beds at shelters. But on any given day, as many as 3,200 people are home- less in the county, according to the Pinellas County . Coalition for the Homeless. "There is a very extensive need out there," said Gregg Rose, president of the county coalition. The coalition is planning the most extensive local survey ever in Jan- uary to update its statistics. The problem gets worse in the winter, when-more homeless peo- ple drift south from cold northern cities. During this season, the lo- cal CHIP center has turned away four or five families and twice as many single people in a night. "It's not any different than the people who have condos out on the beach," said Ed Brant, who manages the Salvation Army's homeless project and CHIP's emergency shelter. "They come down from the winter." In addition to short-term beds, there are 824 beds countywide for transitional- living programs, by county estimates._ That's far less than the 10,656 beds that probably are needed for stays of 6 to. 18 months to give people a place to really get their lives together, local social service workers say.. "For every vacancy, I probably interview 10 -plus families," said Sherrie Meyer, who runs a small transitional- housing complex for the Salvation Army. "I have to look for who's committed to trying to make it." Expanding services comes down to dollars. Commissioners last week asked city staffers to find sources of money other than the cityNearly half of CHIP.'s $326,386 budget this year is being financed by Clearwater. The rest is an as- sortment of grants from the state, county, local housing authority and Salvation Army. Clearwater will ask its national lobbyist to. try to snare more feder- al .money next year to expand the local homeless program, Klein said. But the city also is looking to its neighbors. City officials want the county to show more support. Dunedin and Largo should pay for part of the program, too, said Commissioner Bob Clark. Police from those communities bring homeless people to CHIP, Mein said. "This is not just a Clearwater problem," Klein said. Klein figures that CHIP would need $100,000 more every year to manage e a new transitionaThous- ing.�aciIit<� e initial cost ost -of buying land and renovating a building- Mein, optimistic that funding will be found, drove around as recently as last week looking for possible sites.

Dressel and Schaap definitely see the need for CHIP to expand and provide longer -term shelter. Changing their lives while living on the street seems a titanic task. Both have had trouble finding decent - paying jobs and holding them. Dressel says she also is manic- depressive but can't afford - medication. Both say they are al- coholics. Besides showing compassion, City Manager Mike Roberto said, the city would promote economic development by increasing efforts to help the homeless. "If we have any realistic expec- tation of having a strong down- town, how we deal with the home- less situation is critically impor- tant to that," Roberto said. "It's. a downtown economic development issue.... It has a very big impact on people's perception of the com- munity." The visible number of home- less people downtown was the top concern of 1,118 downtown mer- chants and residents who were surveyed two years ago. The issue remains a major concern, some business owners said. Even as the city contemplates building a shopping- and- entertain- ment center downtown near Coachman Park, the waterfront ar- ea is one of several local hangouts where homeless people some- times spend the day. The library is nearby with pub- lic bathrooms and a water fountain they can use. But police have cracked down on people spending the night in the park. Glenn Warren, who heads the city's downtown development board, is among those who want to see more action on the issue. He suggests .that the day -labor busi- nesses should collaborate with lo- cal shelters and that there should be more beds. Programs like CHIP — which require participants to follow strict rules or risk losing the privilege of being served there — have taken care of the "classy homeless," Warren said. "We haven't dealt with the sub- stance abusers and the hard -core homeless enough," he said. "I think they've got to expand what they're doing. I cannot say we have a handle on the thing yet. There's still a lot more people out there." 7—Avs:5 y lanaseape plants &t mataiRts 16 4-0% a w:vw l pil Lake Deck Out Rtree�s, r� V`f bi�a mW ✓' —cam - =a..f= d hrn Q. 9 tv sit; ,J _ A+ of Evagmen ... Look fa the tpvikel More Than A Shelter Much has been said about the new CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project), its shelter and the broad variety of services it brings to the homeless population here in the Clearwater and upper Pinellas Area. The team of agencies working at CHIP are excited and proud of the program which has developed over the past several years. With the'help of such agencies as The Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, Clearwater Housing Authority; Clearwater Police Department, Directions for Mental Health and others, CHIP has developed a multifaceted - Center which provides an answer to the needs of homeless at their point of greatest. need - the downtown Clearwater area. Located next to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, the CHIP Center provides a two -fold thrust in an effort to end homelessness individual by individual., The two facets are Outreach (or drop -in) Center and the Shelter Program, which both operated all within the same facility. At the C.H.I.P. Outreach Center, homeless individuals can access: ® Public restroom ® Public showers ® Clothing ® Laundry services ® Telephones ® Personal items storage ® Message service ® Counseling o Information and referral CHIP offers all of the tools necessary for homeless -individuals-to obtain services and to find employment which will lead to permanent housing and the addressing of the root causes of homelessness. Key to this process is the registration required before receiving meals at the Soup Kitchen and services at the CHIP Center. In short, the Outreach Center is a relationship building aspect of the total program, encouraging individuals to make life changing decisions and efforts. see "More Than A Shelter" on page 3 Paae 1 awa ,o°ay o The "Downtown Bicycle Team" became a reality in 1997. The concept of "I.__d Cops" is not anything new in Clearwater. The city has had bicycle patrols in other parts of town but there hadn't been a full -time squad until the team's inception. The squad presently consists of a sergeant and eight officers. Their primary area of responsibility is bounded on the west at the Bayfront, east at Crest Lake Park, north at Drew St., and south at Court St. A strong emphasis on enforcement is placed in the area designated as the CHIP neighborhood, the area in close proximity to the CHIP shelter. The team performs normal patrol functions, as well as planned operations focused on problems unique to the area. Coverage is provided during the daylight and evening hours by utilizing split squads. The enforcement of laws pertaining to transient related issues is a priority due to a perception that the CHIP shelter would attract "undesirables ". The team has also conducted numerous prostitution reverse operations to combat the problems not only related to the prostitutes but also the ones associated with those persons coming into the neighborhood soliciting them. The operations have been very successful, averaging over twenty arrests each time conducted. The "transient" issue and problems associated with it has been a concern in Clearwater for a number of years. We continue to address the problems on a daily basis and will not tolerate any violations of the law. The public's perception is that the "homeless" are causing all problems in the CHIP neighborhood, and therefore the shelter has b be attracting the problems. This is totally untrue and the perception has to be changed. We need to be able to differentiate between the two. The homeless want help and services while working toward self - sufficiency. The transients, on the other hand, are homeless but could care less about attaining goals. The Bike Team will continue to work closely with the CHIP organization in combating the problems with the transients to improve your neighborhood. If there are any concerns or questions I can address, feel free to contact myself or any other Bike Team officer at the CHIP shelter substation. (298 -2491) Sgt. Joe Tenbeig The Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) was established primarily as a line of communication between the neighborhood residents and the CHIP Program staff in order to have a positive forum to work together for mutual success in improving both the individual people and the area as a whole. During the first 6 months of CHIP shelter operations, there has been a substantial and visible reduction in the number, frequency and intensity of negative aspect of the transient population in this area. Such problems as trespassing on private properties, public intoxication, trash being left in piles after drinking or eating, urinating in public, and groups of transients banding together creating loud disturbances at all hours, panhandling, etc. have decreased dramatically. The NAC attributes these recent positive changes in the neighborhood to the combined efforts and the strong commitment to action of the CHIP staff, the directives of Police Chief Sid Klein, the bicycle patrol, the new police substation inside the CHIP shelter, as well as the support of the City code enforcement and the backing of the Mayor and City Commissioners. The NAC has been grateful for the opportunity to assist the CHIP staff and residents with employment offers, clothing donations, feedback of discussions, and true interest in seeing this program succeed. We will continue in our efforts of assistance through tutoring, mentoring, and meeting other special needs as the expansion and solid footing in the community creates the ability to move forward in a positive direction. We look forward to working toward common goals of improving both the lives of individuals and the neighborhood as a place that can work together through positive interaction for the betterment of all involved. Involvement is what it is all about! Page 2 Pat A. Wilson, NAC Chairperson The duration of residency is determined by achievement of the client's own personalized goals. Once these goals are met, individuals "graduate" and are on their way to permanent, independent living. But more than a shelter, CHIP is a community oriented policing effort that has united with the community at large to address all of the concerns surrounding homelessness. To accomplish this, a Neighborhood Advisory Council was formed to advise CHIP and the Clearwater Police Department of perceived needs of the Downtown area and the area immediately surrounding the Soup Kitchen and CHIP Shelter. A significant part of our community strategy is to give a voice to the community to express needs related to homelessness and crime in the downtown area, and to measure the effectiveness of the CHIP Program in addressing some of those needs. Much of our effort will be research intensive. In order to properly address concerns, we must gather the real facts in order to create realistic strategies. We have united not only with our neighborhood in this effort, but through a federal Community Oriented Policing Services (C.O.P.S.) grant have engaged in many levels of data gathering. We contracted with the University of South Florida Department of Psychology to conduct a major aspect of that research -- community identification of the problems. Results of the preliminary surveys are as follows: urvey etestt ®n-s aid - results —Su—nt --- _ - -_ - --- - - -.- - - - -_ Agree - - -._ .._ 1. Is homelessness is a problem in the area? 84% 2.

Of those agreeing in #3, was this somewhat common? 42% 6. Do you believe public drinking is a problem? 75% 7. Of those agreeing in #6, is this a very serious problem? 50% 8. Of those agreeing in #6, is this a somewhat serious problem? 50% 9. Has the homeless situation in this area improved over the past ear? 61% 10. Is the City of Clearwater adequately addressing homelessness problems? 43% The perceptions of downtown business employees regarding issues of homelessness and public intoxication were assessed using the Community Awareness Survey. The data collected suggested that employees within the area generally agreed that homelessness and public drunkenness were serious local concerns. Furthermore, most of those surveyed considered these two issues to be highly related. Although there was a consensus that serious problems existed, the majority of those surveyed noticed that the police had increased efforts to deal with area homelessness and crime, and most noticed a decrease in homelessness over the twelve months prior to the survey. While this initial survey was conducted several months after instituting the Bike Team, it was conducted prior to the CHIP Center Opening in April 1998. I believe the surveys' results speak to the urgency of concerns on the part of the public, as well as the public's perceptions of our united efforts to respond to their concerns. Another major component of the CHIP Program is the issuing of a Street Survival Guide to all area homeless. This guide lays out the ground rules for the homeless in terms of services offered by the community and the expectations of our community as they relate to responsible behavior and respect for private and public property. "More" continued on page 4 'D.- Z More — continued ttorn page 3 Our intentions through this and future issues of the newsletter will be to hu..estly and forthrightly report the efforts and findings of our united efforts. In addition, the newsletter will regularly feature comments from the Neighborhood Advisory Council, CHIP staff, and the Police Department. Together, we will pool our findings and use the information gathered to modify the program and implement new plans to make our whole community a better and safer place to live and work. To that end, we invite and encourage questions and comments from the public. Your comments will be the platform from which my future columns will be launched. More importantly, your continents will help to shape our ongoing united response to all of the issues surrounding homelessness and our community as a whole. Together we shall indeed make this One City, One Future. Terry Hammond, CHIP Executive Director "I haven't eaten in 2 days and my shirt is falling apart. Could you spare a couple of dollars ?" — a typical approach you may have heard on the street, or even in your front yard — "panhandling." Your response may have been to give them a few dollars, say a quick no, or even threaten to call the police. How else can we deal with these individuals? Since opening the center this past April, CHIP staff have been addressing how to assist the homeless in regaining their places in society and how to take transient panhandlers into the program. Responsibility and respect are the two traits very important in an individual's life and to regain them takes time and effort. The Salvation Army's Homeless Intervention Program (HIP) strives to attain this goal. Through the shelter program, individuals have the opportunity to get jobs, regaining the respect that goes with being a viable part of society. Thus far, 977 individuals have stayed at the shelter; 75% have obtained employment. The other 25% have either been children, individuals transferred to other b programs, or overnight stays prior to relocating out of the area. Another 475 individuals have come into the CHIP center to meet with case managers or mental health counselors. These clients also use shower areas, clothing donations, washers and dryers, telephones, and storage areas — services provided so they may be clean and hopefully motivated to the next program step — off the streets. When individuals enter the CHIP Center's doors, the importance of identity and ways to improve are stressed to them by staff. Through use of the CHIP identification card, the continual importance placed on their respecting others in order to be respected, and their responsibility for their own actions and behavior, many of these individuals will no longer be approaching others for a handout, but will be offering a hand to others. Ed Brant, The Salvation Army HIP Director The Clearwater Homeless Interveintion Projects Mission Statemeneta The purpose of the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project is to positively intervene in the issues confronted by and surrounding the homeless, and the impact of homelessness upon the whole community of Clearwater and Upper Pinellas County. CHIP will work to establish a continuum of care that will enable the homeless to move from a condition of dependency to permanent housing and self - sufficiency. This will be accomplished through direct shelter care, case management, monitoring the population's behavior, coordination of services, and the development of new services by focusing the efforts of our entire community. If you heard someone crying for help, what would you do? There is a cry for help going on daily in our city and county. It is not a cry- ing you can hear, but one you see every day. This cry presents itself silently, but it is loud and clear. It appears in the form of a tattered, worn piece of paper usually held in a hand that is soiled. The tired faces and bodies at- tached to those dirty hands have a heart and a soul, and they have needs. Will we remember their faces or the exhausted look in their eyes, even if we offer our change or a couple of dollars to the strangers? It is an uncom- fortable situatian. We are as uncomfort- able as the stranger with a sign in his hand. Perhaps it brings us too close to the patnfW realization that the figure crying for help with a sign in his hand saying, `I am hungry" could be us. It could be if things had turned out dif- ferently in our last busi- ness deal. if our job had been eliminated by down- sizing, if our company had moved its operations off- shore, if our job had been replaced by automation, if we had gotten fired from ourjob. It happens every day. The results are devastat- ing. There are as many rea- sons for those who are down on their luck, as there are strangers an our street corners. Maybe we are afraid of the untidy stranger. ..Maybe we should be, maybe not The stranger on our street cor- ner asking for food with a silent sign is are of us and they are crying out for our help. They are part of our community whether we notice them or not. JOMNE, horn pie s have seen the desponden- cy in the eyes of -the homeless. Last February I saw a man standing in the rain with a sign that was drenched along with his wife and two children. It was broken. I could not tell if the water on their ¢aces was rain or tears.

By ERIC STIRGUS Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER — Brian Schuh has been converted. He is one of the believers. Schuh The rules thought he saw Shelter residents must: trouble coming ■ register and be two years ago photographed when he learned ■ seek employment the city planned ■ attend daily Alcoholics to put a homeless Anonymous meetings if shelter near his alcohol or drug business on Park dependent Street. ■ participate in Homeless counseling people often ■ meet personal goals, hung out in that budget plan neighborhood, panhandling at the car wash across the street from Schuh's shop. He feared a shelter would bring more homeless. Schuh and others in the neighborhood were so concerned they considered going to court to fight the proposed shelter. But now, as the shelter completes its first year, Schuh regards it a success. He even suggests other parts of Pinellas with a homeless problem might want to build shelters like the one in Clearwater. "I wouldn't have thought a couple of years ago I would say something like that," said Schuh, co -owner of Genie of Clearwater, which sells and installs garage doors. So what gives? Many say the shelter's strict rules are the reason both for its success and for the impact it's had in reducing the homeless population in Clearwater. "It's improved because there is some regulation (at the shelter)," said Pat Vaughn, another former foe of the shelter. With 48 beds for men, women and children, the shelter, at 1339 Park St in downtown Clearwater, requires those who move in to abide by a set of rules to stay there and to eat at the soup kitchen next door. People living there must fill out paperwork and be photographed for an identification card. Within a week of arriving, the shelter's residents must either have a job or show they are close to finding one. Those dependent on alcohol or drugs must attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. "People are starting to see it makes sense," said Police Chief Sid Klein, who led the effort to build the shelter. Working with him was a group called CHIP, the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project. CHIP now operates the shelter. The slate of regulations were in place before the shelter was built. Clearwater's homeless population — much like that in other cities — long had been an issue. People complained the homeless urinated in public and drew prostitutes and drug users to neighborhoods they frequented. The shelter provides a structured environment so the homeless who live there can pick themselves up and become financially stable. Resident Ron Joyce says the shelter has become his "new Jerusalem." While there, he says, he has experienced a spiritual rebirth after years of drug abuse. Please see SHELTER Page 3 Shelter Page 1 "This is a great opportunity for people who want to use it," said Joyce, 47. He has lived at the shelter since October and is the resident adviser to CHIP. "It allowed me to pay old bills. It allowed me to make new friends. It allowed me to come to my Christian roots. It's a blessing," said Joyce. Joyce said he has quit smoking, no longer does drugs and has joined the Christian Life Church on Cleveland Street, where he sings in the choir. His long -term goal: 'To be able to say, if someone asks: 'What's your phone number?'. . . I'm listed." There is no time limit on how long residents can stay at the shelter. Its residents are encouraged to save enough money to pay for first and last month's rent at their next address before leaving the facility. Shelter operators say they are confident residents will not take advantage of the shelter and stay too long. Those involved with CHIP say it's too early to measure the shelter's success. As Joyce pointed out the shelter, as its name suggests, is a "project." More than 1,100 people have registered at the shelter so far, and CHIP executive director Terry Hammond said 73 percent have "graduated" from the program. In some cases, graduation has meant saving enough money for an apartment. For others, it has meant reuniting with family. A few have been able to get on their feet financially. Others have left without leaving a way for shelter operators to keep in touch with them. A year after its celebrated grand opening, the shelter still has Ron Joyce shaves in the community bathroom at the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project shelter before heading off to church. CHIP shelter Beds: 48 Registered clients: 1,100+ Space: 9,000 square feet Budget: $394,000 Funding sources: block grants, other grants, $100,000 from the city of Clearwater, donations Staff: 10 paid employees, one intern a new look. Atan building with palm trees at the front entrance, the shelter's rules are posted all over its walls. Eight- by 11 -inch signs warn residents to clean their rooms before leaving for the day. A chart on the bathroom doors gives residents their cleaning assignments for the week. A police substation is on the property. The living space is divided into three separate dormitories. One room has 33 beds for men. The second has nine beds for women. The third has six beds for families. Each bed is separated by a wall and every resident has their own locker. With an operating budget of $394,000 yearly, the shelter is funded primarily by the city and county. Its organizers would like more private donations. CHIP officials would like to buy more living space, possibly motels near the shelter on Gulf -to-Bay Boulevard. Those would be used by people making the transition from homeless to apartment dweller. The shelter was modeled after others in Orlando, Philadelphia and San Diego. "We're trying to get individuals to understand they need help," said Ed Brant, director of the Salvation Army's homeless intervention program, which is subcontracted to run the center. - Nobody wants to be nomeiess. i don't think it's in a person's nature to want to live without a roof over their head. It's time for you to take responsibility and either you take responsibility or not accept any help at all." Steve Berg, director of programs for the National Alliance to End Homelessness in Washington D.C., said many of the CHIP rules, such as the cards, are not common at shelters elsewhere. But he noted "in terms of the rules, shelters are all over the map." Police believe most of the hard -core homeless who refuse to stay at the shelter have left the city. With eight officers on bicycle patrol in the downtown area, arrests of homeless people have .gone up. Those who don't have ID cards can come to the shelter during the day to shower, wash clothes and use the counseling services. But without the ID, they cannot eat. This bothers Mary Lou Guthart, who runs the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen next door to the shelter. "We don't like this idea of people needing an ID card but it's a community rule and we're a part of the community and we are going to have to abide by it," she said. "We feel God said feed the poor. He didn't say only feed those who are not drinking or who are not on drugs." Still, shelter operators believe in their rules. 'Without those controls, then you are not doing anything but feeding them and warehousing them," said Mejn, president of CHIP's board of directors. "Mere's got to be a clear indication that these are the rules. "It's been a challenge and I think in the long run, it's going to work. We just need some time and resources." Graham Whitlow came to the shelter in January. Whitlow says he is trying to find the inspiration to get back on his own feet. CHIP Meeting - MinuL.8 April 28, 1999 Page 2 PROGRAM REPORT - Terry Hammond presented the latest statistical data and client information to the board, pointing out that the day center is currently averaging 50 - 60 clients a day. Mr. Hammond then shared a newspaper article that featured the CHIP program in the Monday, April 26th edition of the St. Petersburg Times. Ron Joyce of the Residents' Council advised that the program has recently acquired several MacIntosh computers that will be used to help residents prepare employment resumes to take on job interviews. Mr. Joyce expressed a need for individuals who can teach residents how to use compatible software; Steve Carlisle offered his assistance in this capacity. COMMITTEE REPORTS - Jacqueline Rivera of the Services Committee advised the board that the committee is currently examining two potential transitional housing opportunities in this area. First, as a temporary resolution, CHIP clients are going to be encouraged to apply for Section 8 certificates and vouchers from the Clearwater Housing Authority allowing them to move into "scattered site" type housing units, while still ensuring that they receive case management. There are presently five open slots available within the program, but Ms. Rivera anticipates additional openings in the near future because of high turnover rates. Secondly, newly elected Advisory Board member Beth Gil gave an extensive overview of the Mustard Seed and Turning Point programs in south Pinellas County which focus on transitional housing and rehabilitation for chemical dependency and mental illness. Terry Hammond and Ms. Gil discussed with the board the possible partnership between CHIP and the Mustard Seed so that CHIP may utilize the advantages and resources available to address the issues of dependency and transitional housing in north county. More information forthcoming. Joe Huenke and Joanne Kavanagh of the Development Committee updated the board on the upcoming plans for the CHIP/ HEP fundraising gala to be held on Tuesday, November 9th. Committee members continue to finalize details on entertainment and promotional ideas for the event. Letters will be sent out to sponsors seeking financial commitments within the next week.

F CHIP Meeting - iutes November 25, 1998 Page 2 NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL REPORT - Brian Schuh has been appointed to replace Pat Wilson as the new chairperson of the Neighborhood Advisory Council. At the last council meeting, residents living in the area surrounding the CHIP Center discussed such tapir a� the COPS Grant, community policing, and the results of the community awareness survey. Feedback from the council continues to remain yel-Tr positive since the center's opening in April. COMMITTEE REPORTS - The Services Committee has been discussing strategies on the development of the transitional housing program with several shelter clients. All agreed that it must be a structured, independent atmosphere, but remain a vital part of the CHIP Center. The committee will begin to examine the possibility of scattered transitional housing sites rather than one primary facility. Joe Huenke advised that the Development Committee would meet immediately following the CHIP Board meeting. DISCUSSION - The board expressed a need for some type of orientation sheet for new members that would explain key terms and various organizations that pertain to CHIP and that are discussed regularly at board meetings. Mr. Hammond will draft the information sheet for the board's review. Terry Hammond showed board members this year's Homeless Coalition Christmas card packets which were designed by homeless children in Pinellas County to encourage donations to the organization throughout the holidays. NEXT MEETING - The next CHIP meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 27, 1999 at S a.m. in the Chief's conference room at police headquarters. THE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Such problems as trespassing on private properties. public intoxication, trash heing left in piles after drinking or eating, urinating in public, and groups of transients banding together creating loud disturbances at aJ] hours, panhandling, etc. have decreased dramatically. The NAC attributes these recent positive changes in the neighborhood to the combined efforts and the strong commitment to action of the CHIP :staff., the directives of Police Chief Sid Klein, the bicycle patrol. the new police substation inside the CHIP shelter, as well as the support of City code enforcement and the backing of the Mayor and commissioners. The NAC has been grateful for the opportunity to assist the CHID staff and residents with employment offers, clothing donations,.feedback of discussions, and true interest in seeing this program succeed. We will continue In our efforts of assistance through tutoring, mentoring, and meeting other special needs As the expansion and solid footing in the community creates the ability to move forward in a positive direction.

On April 20, Bishop Emeri- tus W. Thomas Larkin joined other church and civic officials including Clearwater Mayor Rita Garvey in a ribbon cut- ting at grand opening ceremo- nies for the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, or CHIP, facility. The new CHIP center serves as an emergency shel- ter able to house up to 48 chronically homeless male- the cooperation which was necessary to get to this point," said Mayor Garvey, a member of Light of Christ Parish in Clearwater, "to care for the homeless and to get them back into an environment that's productive, called self- suffi- ciency." The CHIP building and ad- joining Clearwater Police De- partment substation were built adjacent to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen on Park Street. The Vincentians have leased the property to CHIP at a dollar a year for the next 15 years. "That's literally a godsend," said Sid Klein, Clearwater police chief. As chairman of CHIP's board of directors, Chief Klein told about 150 at the dedication ceremonv. deal-: with the issues of alien- ation, poverty and homelessness." Other board members come from the Clearwater City Commission; Salvation Army, Clearwater Housing Author- ity and other area concerns. Its secretary, Mary Lou Guthart, is also president of the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen. "I like to refer to her as St. Mary Lou," Chief Klein con- tinued. "She as our secretary and president of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen has been at the fore- front of service to the home- less of our community probably at the most basic point of their human need — and as a volunteer."

CHIP Meeting Minute April 7, 1998 Page 2 r� UPDATE ON FUNDING - Terry Hammond advised that he has submitted requests for funding to Republic Bank and the United Way. United Way has provided helpful grant information and has added CHIP to the Federal Campaign Directory which lists programs that are eligible for funds from government agencies. UPDATE ON BUILDING PROCESS - Terry Hammond reported that all dry wall problems have been repaired and that the facility is clean and ready for the upcoming certificate of occupancy inspections. He thanked the City of Clearwater and the AmeriCorps NUCOPS for their assistance with the purchasing and expeditious set up of the center's landscaping. UPDATE ON COPS GRANT - Janet Skinner informed the committee that the ANCHOR tracking software purchased for the grant has been received and that a 12 month extension has been approved by COPS to complete all plans. As required by the grant, the downtown bicycle team will begin problem- solving training at the St. Petersburg Regional Training Institute on April 8th. Dr. Carrot Nelson, evaluator of the grant, advised that a neighborhood meeting was held on Mon av evenine with the community that surrounds the shelter in order to address their ideas and suggestions for the project and the planned community survey., It was decided that St. Cecilia's Church would be assisting with the translation of the survey into Spanish. The next step would be to survey local businesses in addition to the community residents. COMMITTEE REPORTS - Terry Hammond highlighted the agreement that CHIP has with the Salvation Army to carry on day center, outreach, and residential programs. The Salvation Army has also agreed to continue funding the position of program director, currently filled by Ed Brant, at least through September 30, 1998. NEW BUSINESS - Terry Hammond advised the committee that he is in the process of preparing the application for the Pinellas County CDBG funds which will cover all of the staff salaries and a substantial portion of the operating costs. The Board of Directors moved to authorize Terry Hammond, Executive Director, to pursue funding from all reasonable sources in keeping with the budget as presented including, but not limited to, Pinellas County CDBG. Jacqueline Rivera motioned to adopt the resolution and the motion was seconded by Barbara Green.

By ANITiAXUMAR Times SUff'Writer CLEARWATER t At times, it looked as if wo Clearwater's homeless shelter uld never open. But Monday, after five years of neighborhood opposition, financial problems and zoning restric- tions, the shelter opened its doors. About 200 people gathered outside the shelter at 1339 Park St. in downtown to celebrate the grand .opening and tour the building. The 48 -bed shelter will serve North Pinellas County and will replace 'a smaller, temporary shel ter run by; the Salvation Army. . Residents from the Salvation Army shelter will be the first to move into the new shelter Wednesday night. Our goal is to reduce homelessness person by person," said police Chief Sid Klein, who led the project. "The homeless are not to be pitied but given due rights and responsibilities." The shelter, run by the non -profit Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, is different from others in the Tampa Bay area. Clearwater modeled its shelter after those in San Diego; Philadelphia and Orlando, where resi -, dents have to.abide by a number of rules and must try to make it on their own. Residents, who will be registered and photo- graphed when they first come in, must get jobs within seven days, attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings whether or not they are addicted, partici- pate in counseling and abide by a curfew. In return, the shelter will offer meals at the adjoining St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen, medical treatment, laundry:facilities, clothes and other ser- vices, such as helping residents open bank ac- counts. Terry Hammond, the shelter's executive direc- tor, said the shelter is not for everyone. But he said he thinks there are enough people on the street who want to get on their feet again.

Circumstances beyond our control have delayed somewhat the completion date first projected. Condition #2 - Mr. Shufford met with the Architect and the Owner's Representative after dark one evening and determined acceptable solutions to the lighting concerns. It was decided that we should try a dimmer street lamp for the street light centered on the eastern edge of the south (Pierce Street) parking light. This will cut down on the light projected onto the new housing development across Pierce Street to the south. Adequate lighting has been added to the north side of the Center, thus illuminating CHIP and perimeter of lot which abuts commercial properties. Condition #3 - Attempts were again made to obtain and easement for sidewalk egress to Cleveland street by way of direct route south. As the agreed alternative, pedestrian directional signs on the south side of Cleveland street have been put in place. Interior signs giving directions to clients as to the proper route and urges clients to respect property have been hung in The Salvation Army and The Soup Kitchen. Exterior signs have been created and will be hung on and around the property as well as at the provider agencies. Finally, at CHIP's own expense, barrier fence and rolling gate have been erected across the back of Dr. Jannelli's and Idle Spur's property. We will look to the City to decide whether they should take additional steps such as new east -west sidewalk joining the Center to Evergreen. As it currently stands, pedestrian traffic can no longer walk across public property directly north from the Center. These steps seem to have pleased property owners to the north. Condition #4 - Compliance has been noted as the Police Sub - station will be operational simultaneously with or even prior to CHIP opening. Condition #5 - Compliance with ongoing review is noted. Mechanisms for measuring effectiveness are being implemented with the help of University of South Florida, The Police Department, and our Neighborhood Advisory Council. C ndition #6 As noted previously, a Neighborhood Advisor; Committee was formed by CHIP and Ms Pat Wilson, a resident and nearby property owner, has assumed Chairmanship of that Committee. Our initial meeting was held on June 9' at the Soup Kitchen. Under previous cover, a copy of the flyer announcing the open neighborhood meeting was circulated around the vicinity by the Police Bike Patrol I have had many nhone conversations with Pat Wilson over these several months sent, and she has been most helpful with program ideas A data base and mailing list of more than 75 names of area reusdents apd pt open owners has been created and maintained by CHIP. Condition 5 cont. Ms Wilson and I toured the neighborhood on July 30 1997 in order to observe and note a baseline of needs and concerns. Dii-August 15, 1997, the committee took me to lznch and = discneced nrngram and i gave them a clearer picture of our policies and our common concerns. A meeting with the NAC and USF staff is to be facilitated by CHIP on March30, in order to gain neighborhood input on measurement criteria for our Community Policing efforts. Please see the attached copy of my prior compliance update dated Oct. 15. At the NAC's request they will meet with CHIP as needed not on a routine basis CHIP will call for periodic updates. Condition #7 - Fencing to the maximum allowed by code is already in place. I have requested these assurances in writing from the architect. As stated above, we reviewed the areas in questioned with Mr. Shufford during his site visit. We have exceeded, at CHIP's expense, fencing that was expected, and have placed attractive fencing in areas where pedestrians previously crossed neighboring property. There is now no way for patrons of the Center or Soup Kitchen to cross neighboring lots when coming to and from our Center. Please review this document and advise CHIP as to compliance status. Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated. .,S�helter Organizers map plans for transitional housing for people leaving the new homeless shelter. By ANITA KUMAR Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER — Organizers preparina to oven a new homeless shelter in Anril have already Started to think about building transitional housing for people to use after they leave the shelter. The housing would consist of separate . bed- rooms and shared common living areas, kitchens and bathrooms where residents could receive social services they need to get back. on their feet. "We. have recognized for a long time what the next step is," police Chief Sid Klein said. "Just opening the doors of shelter is' not going to solve the problem." Klein, who has been working on solving Clear - water's homeless problem for years, said about 68 to 80 rooms are necessary to meet the area's needs. Terry Hammond, executive director of the Clearwater shelter, said this, type of housing is needed for people who want to learn to live indepen- dently but still need some help and cannot afford to pay a lot for a place to live. Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, the non -profit group opening the shelter, will start trying to buy property for transitional housing after determining what kind of housing is needed. City Commissioner Ed Hooper, who sits on the CHIP board, said the group has discussed buying several properties, including a series of small mom - and -pop hotels on the section of Gulf -to -Bay Boule- vard just east of where it joins Cleveland Street. Hooper and other board members said CHIP is interested in keeping the new housing downtown, near the new shelter. The 48-bed shelter is being built on Park Street, adjoining the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen. It is being built with $750,000 in grants and private donations. After overcoming neighborhood opposition and money problems, the shelter was expected to open last year. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for April 20. Unlike other shelters, CHIP residents must Please see SHELTER Page 2 ST PETERSBURG TIMES, FEBRUARY 14, d 998 Shelter from Page 1 obey a variety of rules, such as holding a job, abiding by a curfew and attending counseling. Resi- dents are expected to stay an aver- age of eight days and then will have to find other housing. Even before CHIP builds its own transitional: housing, it will house single people in a four -unit building on Hart Street,_ which is owned by the Homeless Emergen- cy Project. Residents would pay rent, probably about. $210 a month, and be supervised by CHIP and the Homeless Emer- gency Project. The units will be available April 1. Klein said CHIP plans to apply this spring for federal grants, probably through the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, for transitional housing. If CHIP does not receive a grant, he said, it will solicit donations: _ s ' THE NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH GREENWOOD COMMUNITY TASK TEAM SEPTEMBER, 1997 GRAND OPENING OF WEED and SEED PROJECT CELEBRATED GROUND BROKEN FOR CHIP Darlene Kalada, Director of Pinell Community Development; City Comm Hooper; Deborah Vincent, Vice - Chaim ClearwaterHousingAuthority; Lt.

Atts. 4 .IL 1 � � June 3, 1997 RE: The Soup Kitchen And The Homeless Shelter Dear Neighbors, This is to bring you up to date on the issues which are related to the existing soup kitchen and the proposed homeless shelter which will include a police substation. The location of the homeless shelter in 1400 block of Park Street next door to the soup kitchen is a certainty. The legal battle is over and the beginings of the construction of the project has now begun. That being a fact, as a neighbor- hood which needs to come together for the benefit of all who five, work, and invest in this area, a group of these neighbors have done just that. A newly formed association, the Neighborly Advisory Council, has been created for this purpose. The goal of the Neighborhood Advisory Council is to provide a pathway of open communication between the Homeless Shelter staff and residents and the surroundinq neiqhborhood. We will, through the NAC representatives, work to provide a voice for the neighbors to include observations of problems and also the suggestions for resolving those problems which we are confronted with. This is not a complaint line. It is a communication line between people willing to exert the necessary effort to have a legitimate way to address problems and help create solutions. The input from every person who lives in this neighborhood is important in order to minimize the effects of of this shelter on our community and to enable the shelter to operate at full effeciency. The NAC will voice all concerns of residents in writing in order to establish a written, verifiable record which can be reviewed by anyone at anytime and toprovide an accurate method of tracking both the number and types of problems occuring as well as their frequency. This will afford the opportunity of prioritizing the' most frequent and /or disturbing occurences, along with the benefit of creating a neighborhood in which we can all feel safe and comfortable. Please help us to make a success of the NAC and the homeless shelter. Be a part of the solution.

Since incorporation and 501(c)3 status, CHIP has obtained funding from Clearwater CDBG programs, PILOT funding from the Clearwater Housing Authority through the City of Clearwater, City of Clearwater budget appropriations, Pinellas County CDBG programs, Pinellas County ESG programs, Pinellas County Social Action programs, State of Florida ESG programs, Florida Legislative appropriations and private contributions /donations. These funds have been utilized to build and operate the shelter and its programs. Through the various grant monitoring for most of these funds, there have been no significant negative findings. All funding has been managed and accounted for according to generally accepted financial principles. CHIP is governed by a Board of Directors which is chaired by Police Chief Sid Klein. Clearwater Housing Authority Executive Director Jacqueline Rivera is the vice - chair, with St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen Executive Director Mary Lou Guthart as secretary and Steve Carlisle as treasurer. A complete copy of the Board of Directors and Advisory Board membership is attached. CHIP has as its mission the task of intervening in all issues that surround homelessness in Clearwater and Upper Pinellas County. In its broader role, CHIP coordinates services among a broad spectrum of service providers and community resources seeking to develop a continuum of care enabling those who choose to move from homelessness to self- sufficiency. The CHIP center is a 24hour, 7 days per week residential emergency shelter. The CHIP center also operates a daytime outreach program from 9 AM to 2 PM each day. During this time period, any homeless person can come to CHIP for a shower, to do laundry, to make a phone call, to receive mail, to get clothing, to receive mental health counseling, to have a sandwich, and to get help with their problems. CHIP has funded construction of the shelter center through CDBG grants from both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County, as well as through private donations and contributions by partners. Case management and outside social service provider offices and a community policing substation are included at the shelter site. There is a client kitchenette facility with refrigerator and microwave where shelter clients may prepare their own meals if they work odd hours. A small clothing bank, individual personal items storage cubicles, laundry facilities, message center, and mail service are all available for the shelter residents, as well as the outreach program clients. A conference and training room is available for AA, resident meetings, and employment training. Over the past year, CHIP served over 1,770 unduplicated clients in both the overnight and daytime outreach programs. The average shelter stay is 16 days. Each person staying at the shelter must commit to participation in the Homeless Intervention Program -- an intensive case management model. The case manager conducts an initial intake assessment, wherein the specific needs and goals of the client are established. If is these r- I 4 specific personal goals that determine the length of stay for the client. If employment has not been secured at entry, the client must pledge to obtain full time employment within seven days, or show reasonable efforts in doing so. After the client is employed, he /she establishes a budget including a personal savings plan. The client's continued eligibility is based on the client's compliance with his /her own established goals -- from economic to psychosocial. Through a contractual arrangement, the CHIP program is staffed by The Salvation Army. Its Homeless Intervention Program Director is responsible for admissions, problem resolution and coordination of social services to the participants. Additionally, Directions for Mental Health provides a case manager with a background in addictions and mental health counseling during the daytime outreach hours. The programs for the shelter are based upon a continuum of care model with intensive case management. This program is multi- faceted and aimed at assisting persons to confront the barriers and reasons that have put them in the ranks of the homeless. Participants in the program can move within the various components as needed. In each component, the client is given the opportunity to have immediate physical, mental, and financial problems addressed on a case -by -case basis. As a person progresses within the program, a more in -depth plan is established to help him /her back into the "mainstream" of society. Activities /program elements include: Alcohol and drug abuse counseling Mental and emotional counseling Job search and retention techniques Family counseling Health and health related counseling Education planning Budget counseling and planning Assistance in obtaining Social Security benefits and other legal /financial benefits Follow -up and support r - , t.

Complaints about chronic inebriates and homeless persons suffering from alcohol abuse became a daily occurrence in Clearwater. Homeless "camps" sprang up in any undeveloped areas -- especially in pockets close to the downtown section of Clearwater. Vandalism, panhandling, loitering, thefts, and general deterioration of property were resulting at an ever increasing rate in the downtown area -- all associated with the problems of the homeless, of whom about one -half reportedly suffer from alcohol /drug abuse. City officials took notice of these growing problems. Police Chief Sid Klein was tasked with developing solutions to these problems. Traditionally, police departments have dealt with homelessness issues in predictable ways. For instance, cities have made use of a variety of ordinances to arrest homeless people, sometimes going so far as to burn their meager possessions. Others have picked up the homeless persons and transported them out of the jurisdiction with warnings not to return. Clearly, these methods have been proven not to solve the problem, only to relocate it In researching past police /homelessness interventions, Chief Klein realized that a true solution would involve a collaborative effort by an assortment of social service agencies, city June 12, 1998 Page 1 I, . Y departments, and citizens. In 1993 based on Chief Klein's recommendation, the Clearwater City Commission established a task force to study the feasibility of setting up a "drop -in" center for homeless persons in Clearwater. The task force included representatives from Clearwater and bordering cities, as well as from Pinellas County. Additionally, various agencies were also represented — including the Chamber of Commerce, Gulfcoast Legal Services, Homeless Emergency Project, The Salvation Army, and St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen — i.e., a number of government and social service agencies involved with homeless persons and programs throughout the city and the county. The task force eventually evolved into a non- profit corporation, Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP). To emphasize the City Commission's commitment to homelessness issues, one Commissioner has also served as the Commission's representative since the task force's inception. Commissioner Ed Hooper serves as the current City Commission representative. Police Chief Sid Klein, president of CHIP, continues to lead the group toward resolution of community homelessness problems. In this initial phase of the task force, Chief Klein shepherded the group through the scanning phase of the SARA problem solving model (SARA - scanning, analysis, response, assessment. The group identified the actual problem, determined parties affected by the problems of homelessness, and began an understanding of the level of homelessness occurring in our community as opposed to neighboring towns and across the nation. The group compiled statistics on the types and number of offenses recorded by the Police Department that were June 12, 1995 Page 2 related to homelessness issues. They also began to look inside and outside the city for opportunities to partner in solutions and develop baseline data concerning how many homeless persons there actually were in the county. Several subcommittees were established to determine alternative sites for an emergency shelter and to locate funding sources for construction of a shelter. The Clearwater Library conducted research on homelessness issues with special emphasis on public opinion and the question of opposition in the neighborhoods. It was no surprise to find that most communities supported homeless shelters - but "not in my backyard" was the prevalent sentiment on location determinations. The task force pooled resources with donations from several members and collaborating organizations and opened a temporary "cold night" shelter in an available building across the street from a major city office complex. This 30 -bed shelter was opened nightly for two months, beginning on January 10 through March 10, 1994. Additionally, two day -long "Homeless Help Fairs" were conducted during this same time period to provide information on referral likelihood and to further define the need for a drop -in center. Special check -in data was collected from the homeless clients using the shelter to further identify demographic and other characteristics of potential beneficiaries of a drop -in center. During the two months of operation, a total of 1 893 persons were served at the "cold night" shelter, including 56 police referrals. The youngest client was one month old; the oldest was June 12, 1998 Page 3 A .4 0, ) 77 years old; and the average age was 30. Local residency of the clients ranged from one day to 77 years. Based on a random sampling, it was determined that 40% of the clients came for more than one night at the shelter and between 60% and 80% were employed in some kind of day labor. These figures gave a much different picture of Clearwater's homeless population than the stereotype mentioned in public comments (i.e., not working, chronic homeless). It became overwhelmingly clear that the homeless problem in the community was much larger than anyone had initially anticipated. Based on counts taken on a specific day at all emergency shelters and drop -in centers in the county, in 1994 there were about 1500 homeless persons in Pinellas County on any one day, and the northern part of the county (where Clearwater is located) seemed to have a larger portion of the homeless than the southern part. Figures from the "cold night" shelter showed that it was filled to over capacity 82% of the time and was never below 67% full. On nights when the facility was full, two to eight persons had to be turned away. (More recent county -wide counts of homeless now estimate at least 2500 homeless are in Pinellas County on any day.) Analysis of the collected data/information identified four major causes contributing to the dramatic increase in homelessness perceived in Clearwater. 1) the cutback in federal funding available to house the mentally ill and the physically incapacitated, thereby swelling the ranks of those who must fend for themselves in the open; June 12, 1998 Page 4 2) the large number of Vietnam veterans and others who have become addicted to alcohol and /or other substances and whose families have given up on them; 3) the several years long economic recession and its attendant layoffs which added to the number of those out of work - and needing new skills or advanced education; 4) the climate and friendly attitude of Clearwater residents attracted many individuals from other jurisdictions in the hope of finding a better life here. Recognizing the need for a more permanent overnight shelter and drop -off center, the Clearwater Police Department donated a double wide mobile home for use as an overnight facility on a continuing basis. The mobile home was set up on a local church's property through Community Development Block Grant funding. The Salvation Army Homeless Intervention Project began operating the emergency shelter and intervention program. The facility's fifteen beds were not enough though -- homeless persons needing shelter exceeded that shelter's capacity on a daily basis. This shelter continued to operate daily for the next few years as the task force took on a more formal structure, becoming the nonprofit corporation it is today - CHIP. Beginning with the "cold night" shelter, the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen has provided free meals for Clearwater's homeless shelter clientele. Approximately 200 persons are fed at this facility daily - and not all of there are homeless. June 12, 1998 Page 5 n. A 0- ) In 1995 the Clearwater Police Department with the St. Vincent de Paul Society Soup Kitchen established a registration program at the soup kitchen. Previously, St Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen had offered its mid -day meals to anyone who walked in off the street, bringing an alarming increase in the number of homeless persons in Clearwater's downtown area and a subsequent increase in the number of misdemeanor crimes reported in that area. The registration program requires all persons seeking services at the soup kitchen to provide personal identification and information, as well as have their photographs taken for their files. Any one refusing to comply is "trespassed" and made to leave the property. After two trespasses, an individual cannot return to the soup kitchen for any services, including meals. Through this increased law enforcement presence in the soup kitchen vicinity, there have been fewer observed homeless persons camping/loitering in the area and a reduction in the associated misdemeanors and property damage. The registration program at the soup kitchen facility is continuing to work well. To provide security during the noon feeding time, the Clearwater Police assigned one officer to the soup kitchen daily during the feeding hours. The success of just this one program brought significant decreases in several misdemeanor categories when the numbers from 1994 were compared to those of 1995 for the grid which includes the soup kitchen: Type of Calls for Service % Change from 1994 to 1995 June 12, 1998 Page 6 x, * '* i Mentally Disturbed -36% Burglary - Business -42% Vandalism /Mischief -12/ Larceny/Theft -9% Solicit/Panhandle -100% Drunk Pedestrian -47% City Ord. Violations -7% CHIP members determined that the 15 -bed emergency overnight shelter could not remain on the church's property - that location had only been a stop gap. The Salvation Army renovated a thrift store building to replace the mobile home shelter in 1996. The City Commission granted a temporary variance to allow the emergency shelter to occupy the building for 18 months, when the use would again be reviewed. Community opposition to locations proposed for a more permanent shelter continued. Under the guidance of Chief Klein, CHIP formulated a plan to build an emergency shelter adjacent to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen to serve Clearwater's homeless population. The proposed CHIP emergency shelter would provide a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families to begin to improve their lives. Each homeless client staying at the CHIP shelter would be required to participate in The Salvation Army's homeless intervention program which includes case worker review and management. The average stay at the shelter was projected at eight days based on data June 12, 1998 page 7 Y, k M ., collected from the temporary 15 -bed shelter's history. By that time the client would have been placed in transitional housing. It was determined that some homeless persons might be allowed to return to the emergency overnight shelter under very strict conditions. If a client violated the rules of the shelter, he /she would be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses. The CHIP permanent shelter was designed based on an Orlando homeless campus which was a collaboration between local governments and social service agencies in that community. CHIP planned to replicate the Orlando program plus include space for a community policing substation and for social service agency workers to work with the homeless clients. The Orlando campus housed up to several hundred persons — a size that is not appropriate for Clearwater. CHIP's objective was to create a shelter that will serve 48 clients -- single males and females, and families. This shelter would serve truly homeless persons who are in need of services. CHIP obtained Community Development Block Grant funding from both Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater, as well as other funding from the City of Clearwater. These funds, along with donations from St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and others, have paid for the construction of the CHIP emergency shelter facility. The facility opened April 20, 1998 — but only after many long months of zoning battles and challenges by citizens. June 12, 19913 Page 8 ), ;K M To compound the problems area residents voiced in opposition to the location of the shelter in their neighborhood, two day labor establishments opened just a few blocks from the shelter and soup kitchen facilities — bringing even more apparently homeless /transient persons to the area. Chief Klein urged the most vocal of the neighborhood opponents to join a Neighborhood Advisory Council for CHIP. After all building obstacles were settled, and it became apparent that the CHIP facility would become a reality, these individuals — both residents and business owners — have taken an active part in mobilizing the neighborhood to become a part of the solution. Some have volunteered to teach in programs at the facility. Regular meetings are held with the group to bring up any observed problems and let them know of upcoming events associated with the shelter programs. One truly unique aspect of the CHIP shelter is the inclusion of a neighborhood community policing team located right at the facility. Through the federal COPS initiative, the City of Clearwater Police Department was awarded funds to provide a "Downtown Bicycle Community Policing Team" which is now stationed at the shelter. In addition, Clearwater Police Department has also received a $90,000 COPS Problem - Solving Grant in which The Salvation Army and CHIP are partners. As stated earlier, citizen and business owner complaints first brought this homelessness problem to the attention of city management. Police Chief Klein spearheaded efforts to coordinate efforts on a community June 12, 1998 Page 9 wide basis to determine solutions to the homelessness - related issues -- especially those associated with public drunkenness and chronic inebriates. Through this grant, Clearwater is targeting the chronic inebriates, generally found among the homeless, in the downtown area of the city. Over a three year period ending in 1997, this area of the city had the highest number of complaints concerning public intoxication, as well as increasing numbers of incidents involving vandalism, petty theft, loitering, and the like. Property values in this general area are not appreciating, and business activity is not growing. Clearwater and its partners, The Salvation Army and CHIP, realized that in order to develop the best strategies to deal with the problems inherent with public intoxication, technology had to be in place to track and analyze captured data. The COPS Problem Solving Grant is funding. I. A computer network at the emergency shelter for the social service workers, the police officers at the community policing substation, and the soup kitchen administrators. 2. Software to connect to the Police Department geographic information system (GIS). Data collected from public intoxication incidents and complaints will be available on a real -time basis for officers at the substation, thereby assisting with "hot spot" identification and in conducting time and space analyses of various aspects of the public intoxication problems encountered in Clearwater. For example, the mapping software will enable uses to look at the relationship between different types of businesses (liquor stores, convenience stores, nightclubs, etc.), transportation routes, public intoxication reports, and vandalism. June 12, 1998 Page 10 �. *. 14 ti 3. Major case management software package for the tracking of clients and programs. Previously, the social service workers conducting case management of the homeless persons did not have such a system. All records were kept in a spreadsheet, a simple data base environment, or simply on 3x5 cards. Effectiveness of programs and longterm tracking were not monitored, making it difficult to determine whether clients were repeats, and, if so, at what point they left the intervention programs or treatment 4. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategies selected and implemented through the problem solving partnership. As the chronology of how Clearwater has dealt with homelessness issues has unfolded, it has been clear that Police Chief Sid Klein and the Clearwater Police Department have guided the process according the SARA problem solving model. The first step was scanning — identifying the problem and also the stakeholders. In this part of the process, the task force was formed and research into the broader issues was conducted. Information and data were collected from homeless clients and other agencies. Next came the analysis portion — learning the problems' causes and effects, as well as the true scope. The task force, led by the Clearwater Police Department sifted through the mounds of data collected to see developing trends and repetitive themes. The group developed a new understanding of the underlying causes of homelessness and the many inherent problems associated with being homeless. June 12, 1998 Page 11 ,y.. 4 ;: The third step was response — acting to alleviate the problem. The "cold night" shelter pilot program was instituted for a two month period. Then came the temporary 15 -bed shelter which was relocated to a second temporary site after two years. The next location was the newly construction CHIP emergency shelter on St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen property. In addition to providing shelter, CHIP requires all clients to become involved in its homeless intervention program. The community's biggest concern was that a shelter would just be a convenient "flop house" and entire even more homeless persons to Clearwater. The CHIP facility and required program of case management is the antithesis of a "Flop house." The fourth step — one that never seems final — is assessment. In this step, the stakeholders evaluate how well the response has worked, make course adjustments, and try again. The feedback obtained at this step may even redefine the nature of the problem, thus starting the entire process again. A key element to the success Clearwater has experienced thus far in at least partially solving the homeless problems has been the collaboration of the many organizations, government agencies, business owners, and residents in determining the solutions to be implemented. Consensus building has been difficult but continues to improve. Throughout the entire process, the CHIP partners -- Clearwater Police Department, Clearwater Housing Authority, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, and The Salvation Army -- have formed the foundation for building a community - solution to homelessness issues in Clearwater. .tune 12, 1998 Page 12 OTHER MISCELLANEOUS NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINE ARTICLES Interoffice Correspondence Sheet TO: William B.

The common building houses a shelter for the homeless and a substation for eight bicycle officers. The officers, under a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), patrol the downtown, helping the homeless and enforcing rules of conduct at the shelter. In most cities, police commonly revert to arrest, referral, or simply "hands off' with the homeless. Clearwater, a winter resort city in Pinellas County, has adopted two programs to expand the option of referral. One is the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, a partnership of the 61 Clearwater police encourage the homeless to join town's Intervention Project. police department and several government and private agencies. A 1996 study by the Urban Institute indi- cated that as many as 842,000 people are homeless in the United States, up from 600,000 in 1987. In 2001, Pinellas County had 27 homeless shelters, serving a daily aver- age ver- age of about 500 people.

So, I've taken a proactive pproach, asking newspapers to give me space for guest editorials, radio stations to give me time on talk shows, and civic clubs to let me speak at their gatherings. Nothing beats one -on -one conversations for best results, although it's time consuming. In rural Saline County, the attraction for most scammers is the elderly, who tend to be a bit too trusting and who live far apart. Intensity picks up in the spring with the annual migration of the scammers. In fact, with the first thaw, I'm out playing the role of Paul Revere: "The scammers are coming, the scammers are coming." Catching scammers in rural areas like Saline County is particu- larly difficult because our force is spread thin: 18 deputies for 700 square miles. Bogus termite exterminators find isolated houses with elderly residents and then show up touting a free inspection. The brief, totally unprofessional inspection inevitably uncovers major infestation, conveniently provided by the scammer's termites in ajar. The scammers sweet talk the residents into an expensive con - tract root around under the house smoke a few cigarettes while spraying water and kerosene around to leave a chemical odor, col- lect their money, and take off in search of more prey. Scammers also excel at selling phony or overpriced life insurance and at convincing residents that perfectly fine roofs and chimneys and furnaces, for example, need repairs. In my talks around the county, I encourage residents to call me r if someone they don't know shows up looking to sell them some- thing or fix something. I will check on the company for them and report my findings in short order. Of course, other government agencies also can handle such background checks. But those agen- cies usually are not so well known to the community and they tradi- tionally take more than a few moments to report back. My deputies and I don't mind catching scammers red - handed.

This program is now called the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) and it is doing a world of good for those who call the streets of Clearwater their home. At CHIP, the work is about compassionate relationship building and giving homeless people the encouragement and respect they need to strike out on their own. They are given resources that help them get their feet on the ground and redirect their lives. Residents work with an Intervention Program Case Manager on a personal plan that guides what happens to them after entering the shelter. "The case plan assists the residents by confronting the barriers and reasons that have made them homeless. Residents are expected to take advantage of the programs CHIP has to offer so they can eventually move out on their own," explains Terry Hammond, Executive Director of the CHIP shelter. Each resident must find a job, or be diligently looking for one, within seven days of entering the shelter or they're asked to leave. After they have found a job, they can stay as long as needed to save money and find adequate housing, Hammond explained. The ability to save money is very exciting to the residents of the shelter, and gives them a basis for starting a new life. Jack, a grizzled and tattooed, 46- year -old alcoholic who has lived at the shelter for more than three months, says the chance to save money has given him hope for a better future. "Other places around Clearwater charge you money for staying there and want you to leave as soon as possible," he said. "When you're paying money, you can't really save up money. But (CHIPS) gives you a $50 allowance (from your paycheck) and they put the rest in your 'They have given me the chance ... It makes you feel good inside." Danny "...CHIPS gives you a $50 allowance (from your paycheck) and they put the rest in your account and when you're leaving, you get the money back. It's nothing but opportunity, and I felt like what I needed was opportunity." Jack account and when you're leaving, you get your money back. It's nothing but opportunity, and I felt like what I needed was opportunity." Most residents of the CHIP shelter save anywhere between $1500 and $2000 dollars before moving out on their own, Hammond notes. Jack, who praised the shelter for giving him hope, is a success story because he has reached his goal of saving $1500 and plans to find his own place and buy a guitar. Each resident must make a list of goals they want to accomplish before moving out of the shelter. A shy and soft- spoken mother of one named Angela said the CHIP Case Manager made her focus on what she really wants to do with her life. "Before I came to CHIP I had really low self- esteem, no goals, and no job," she said. "Now I have a job, I feel good about myself, and I have the goal of getting back together with my son." Danny is another resident of the CHIP shelter who is making plans for the future. He has been with the shelter since it opened and now hopes to one day become a social worker. Danny, with a grin that widened with each word, said he is currently working on getting his GED to be able to complete this dream. 'They have given me the chance,' he said. "They have helped me in the fact that I get to work here with others and even with some of the alcoholic people I used to hang out with. It makes you feel good inside." 'The most rewarding part of my job is seeing people grow and change," said Rosemary Barker, the CHIP Shelter Service Coordinator. She feels lucky to be part of an organization that helps those people who want to help themselves. more places like this, but of course it is a community thing. A lot of people don't understand why sometimes people have to come here, and they need to be educated about that." CHIP has provided the community with a solution to its homeless problem and the homeless a solution to the despair and helplessness they felt they could never break free from on the streets. "With God and (CHIP) and a different attitude, one day at a time I can do whatever is necessary so I don't have to go back to the streets," Jack said solidly. "I've spent too much time there and it's never done anything for me." For the CHIP shelter to thrive and continue to help Clearwater homeless to become contributing members of society, they need the community's support. The CHIP Shelter is in critical need of monetary donations, especially major gifts and sustaining annual gifts. CHIP would also like to encourage local Another resident,' Eileen, knows how hard it can be to have absolutely nothing. Her life, peaceful before depression and thoughts of suicide assailed her, thinks the community needs to become educated about the homeless problem. . "I never thought I would be in this Position, ever. But I realize that the bottom can fall out in an hour or in a day and to know that there was a Place around like this, well, it just gave a person such hope," she said. "I hope there will continue to be businesses to create jobs for residents of the shelter.

Community policing in Clearwater is a comprehensive philos- ophy implemented at the command staff level, administered by mid - management police supervisors who are responsible for team - building and resource support, and applied by all employ- ees, sworn and civilian alike. Although community policing is primarily a patrol division function, its policies and coordination are integrated throughout the entire department. In Clearwater, community policing involves problem - solvers from city depart- ments such as the Community Response Team, Public Works and Central Permitting. They work closely with the police and Clear - water's businesses and residents to address the challenges facing this Gulf Coast resort city of 100,000. The Clearwater Police Department, Florida, won the 1999 IACP and ITT Industries Night Vision Community Policing Award for communities with 50,001 to 100,000 residents. .. ....,. -... , .... , �. - �.: �•... -• - ..:.,Tr.a , r >, -r: r •7 : i'�r � ^�.:..r. -.ry ��r.* rP.�C' ^,n•trrsi.*t .'t'> Fi American '.r., .

MBE Circle no. 2 on Reader Response Card 36 THE POLICE CHIERMAY 2000 Since 1993, complaints about chronic inebriates and homeless people have become a daily occurrence in Clearwater. Homeless "camps" sprang up in many undeveloped areas — especially in pockets close to Clearwater's downtown sector— and resulted in increased vandalism, panhandling, loitering, thefts and the gen- eral deterioration of property. Citizens and business owners brought these problems to the attention of city officials, and the result was the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP). Coordinating its ef- forts with those of the Salvation Army, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Clearwater Housing Authority, Clearwater Police Depart- ment and Pinellas County social service agencies, CHIP built an emergency shelter that incorporates a community policing sub- station —one of the first of its kind in the country—and a variety of alternatives for clients when they leave the shelter's doors. Clearwater now has a comprehensive program for the homeless; and it is based on the concept of community policing. To under- stand how the program came about, it is essen- N A T I O N A L DATA tial to understand how Clearwater's communi- Basic Characteristics of ty policing system Homeless Families works. • 34% of homeless service users are members of fami- The Early Years lies. 23% of that population In the early 1980s, are minor children and 11% after a decade of tremen- are their parents. dous municipal growth, • 84% are female and 16% are police administrators male. were coping with rising • 38% are white non - Hispanic, crime rates, decaying 43% are black non - Hispanic, police /community rela- 15% are Hispanic, 3% are tions, growing concerns Native American and 1% are among residents about other races. neighborhood violence, • 26% are age 17-24,74% are and the ineffectiveness age 25 -54 and less than 0.5% of the department's tra- are 55 and older. ditional responses to all * 41% have never married, of these problems.

It often took officers up to twenty minutes to reach a crime scene in Countryside because they were being deployed from the depart- ment's downtown headquarters. Constructing a satellite police station in the Countryside community using confiscated drug money solved the problem. Not every innovation would be this easy. North Greenwood The North Greenwood community was the next problem area, one that had suffered for decades from spiraling urban decay, neighborhood neglect, an increasing crime rate, and a perceived second -rate status when municipal improvement money was being disbursed. Police management realized that traditional methods of law enforcement had failed in this area and decided to make North Greenwood a model for its community policing program. Police Substation: With the help of a Community Development Block Grant, the North Greenwood Neighborhood Patrol (NGNP) Police Substation was opened in 1985 in a surplus city building centrally located in North Greenwood's business dis- trict. Since initial citizen reaction was unfavorable (people picket- ed City Hall to demonstrate their opposition to the increased po- lice presence), officers were assigned to the North Greenwood Substation on a volunteer basis, and their efforts and the efforts of local businesses and neighborhood associations soon changed community attitudes. Children who were exposed to depart- ment- sponsored computer learning centers, Girls' Clubs and Boy Scout troops, summer job programs, after - school tutoring ses- sions, and holiday parties soon realized that the men and women in uniform were not their enemies. The doors to the substation were left open, and residents began to peek in and initiate conver- sations with the officers. As officers patrolled the community on foot and on bicycles, the residents began to appreciate what they were doing, and juvenile crime and its attendant social problems decreased. Today, Clearwater has nine community policing substations throughout the city. Each one is the result of partnerships among the police, city administrators, social service and government agencies and, most importantly, the people who actually live in the community. Demolition of Abandoned Buildings: Working closely with other city departments, NGNP officers went on to identify more than one hundred abandoned or unsafe structures in North Green- wood. Through their efforts, the properties were condemned and scheduled for demolition. With the help of the Florida Power Corporation, street lighting was improved and city sanitation crews helped run "Operation Clean Sweep," an annual project to remove hundreds of tons of trash and debris from public streets and vacant lots. The city renovated and landscaped these cleared areas, while the Code Enforcement department worked with businesses, residents and NGNP officers to improve the commu- nity's substandard housing. This led to the creation of the city's Community Response Team (composed of residents and munici- pal employees under the command of a police lieutenant), which addressed the 'broken window syndrome" in North Greenwood as its first task. Anti -Drug Events: The NGNP, the North Greenwood Civic As- sociation, the Ministerial Alliance, the NAACP, and various busi- nesses and civic groups next organized anti -drug rallies, marches and a cultural street festival. They joined with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Center for Substance Abuse Pre- vention, the Pinellas County government, Operation PAR, the Ju- venile Welfare Board and the City of Clearwater to create the "Sergeant Allen Moore Community Partnership" (which creates drug prevention programs tailored to the immediate needs of the neighborhood). This partnership empowered residents and com- munity leaders to establish prevention programs that continue today - based on the immediate needs of their neighborhood. fob Skills Training: In 1996, Clearwater was designated an offi- cial Weed and Seed Site. Weed and Seed involves not only North Greenwood but also the bordering neighborhoods of South Greenwood, Old Clearwater Bay and the CHIP area. It includes a Job Skills Training Center, Computer Learning Lab and a GED program provided by the Pinellas County School Board.

This program's positive results indicate its potential for re- ducing child abuse and neglect, childhood injury, use of welfare, unintended subsequent pregnancies, and the involvement of the mother in drug abuse. In addition, community policing officers and the community health nurses act as a resource and refer ap- propriate clients to the Job Skills Training Center and the Jobs for At -Risk Youth Special Initiative Program. Safehouse: There are two Safehouse locations in the Weed and Seed area: These provide neighborhood- based, non - residential alcohol and drug treatment, and run the No More Home Alone program for youths suspended from school. These children are coached on resisting peer pressure, stopping violence in the class- room, coping with authority, dealing with anger and aggression, making good decisions, handling behavioral problems, and say- ing no to drugs. GIS Technology: Clearwater incorporated technology into its community policing strategy as soon as it could. The Geographic Information System (GIS) project began in 1996/1997 with fund- ing from the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Assistance Program, and in collaboration with Pinellas County. The GIS is based on Pinellas County's mapping system and has over 400 pre - existing and maintained information layers, including all property addresses, Property Appraiser's Office information, building inspection information, 911 /Emergency Management data and County- furnished utilities information. Clearwater has added Public Works Department records and the location of parks, schools, libraries, and school crossings to the database, and is planning to include after school programs, job skills programs and health services. By adding actual crime data to the system, it became a very useful law enforcement tool. Adding crime data enabled GIS users to prepare maps show- ing types of incidents and their locations and frequency. Analyz- ing these maps gives the city a comprehensive view of criminal activity, and can even help predict trends and identify successful prevention methods. Specific information (such as all criminal in- You Know Our Handhelds, Now Meet You may know that our AutoCITE is the first name 4 in handheld computers.

Since criminals pay little attention to munic- ipal boundaries and most of the cities in Pinellas County are close to each other, the GIS system will result in more accurate county- wide crime analysis, the prediction of future serial crime loca- tions, and closer cooperation between police departments, all of which should result in better crime prevention and apprehension of perpetrators. Television Program: The GIS is also being used with Clearwa- ter's community notification system and the police department's live, interactive cable television program Blueline CPD. The pro- gram hosted by the chief of police, lets residents know which crimes are occurring in their neighborhood and what the police department is doing about them, and allows citizens to give the department input. During the live, ninety- minute television pro- gram, calls from residents are taken, pictures of people charged with prostitution and soliciting are shown, and officers who have done exemplary community police work are honored. Clearwater residents are told when an upcoming episode of Blueline CPD will feature their neighborhood by the department's new computerized autodialer system. Installed at police head- quarters in January of 1998 at a cost of $32,000, the autodialer can contact twelve hundred residents in an hour with a thirty- second message about an emergency, a crime in their neighborhood, an upcoming public meeting, or an episode of Blueline CPD. Clear- water is fully committed to community policing. The outstanding success of this effort in the past eighteen years has inspired com- plete confidence in the city's ability to improve the welfare of Clearwater's citizens, and it has become a permanent part of the city's service plan. 9 Volume I • Use of Force • Secondary Employment • Off -Duty Conduct: Powers of Arrest • Response to Civil Litigation • Employee Drug Testing • Corruption Prevention • Complaint Review • Body Armor • Harassment and Discrimination in the Workplace • Communicable Disease • Executing Search Warrants • Confidential Informants • Confidential Fund • Vehicular Pursuit • Cooperative Drug Enforcement Unit • Domestic Violence • Emergency Vehicular Warning Devices • Evidence Control • Mutual Assistance • Post - Shooting Incident Procedures • Transportation of Prisoners The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) is an emergency shelter for truly homeless people. Clients are given food, a bed and other essential support services; but must be in- volved in the intervention program coordinated by the Salvation Army. This program offers individual action plans that include counseling, caseworker review, housing placement and job place- ment, and addresses the problems, such as alcohol and substance abuse, that caused people to become homeless in the first place. Historical data show that 59 percent of all homeless people in need of services are alcoholics or other substance abusers. Collaboration: CHIP collaborates with a number of agencies: The first is the Salvation Army, which has provided help to upper Pinel- las County citizens since 1926 and coordinates homeless services for the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office and the Largo and Pinellas Park Police Departments. It is widely supported by the community The second agency is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which owns the property on which the CHIP shelter is built; it also oper- ates the adjacent soup kitchen which feeds approximately 200 people per day, the majority of whom are homeless. The Society is leasing its land to CHIP for a fifteen -year period at a rent of one dollar per year, and also helps CHIP register clients. In order to receive services at the CHIP shelter or the soup kitchen, an indi- vidual must present proof of residence. Those who cannot pro- vide this information must go to the CHIP shelter and obtain a CHIP photo identification card. The card is required to stay at the shelter or eat at the soup kitchen, and can be revoked at any time if the individual does not abide by CHIP's rules. The third agency is the Clearwater Housing Authority, which acts as the landlord for CHIP facilities.

Fea- tured prominently on the back of the brochure are the "CHIP Rules of Conduct," which clearly state that public drinking and drunkenness, panhandling, loitering, and disorderly or violent behavior will. not be tolerated. The fact that the homeless now have a safe, clean place to stay and to get help for their problems means that many of them are no longer "hanging out" on the streets, panhandling and drinking. The strict enforcement of CHIP's "Rules of Conduct," which are clearly spelled out in the 42 THE POLICE CHIEF/MAY 2000 "Street Survival Guide," will ensure that many of the problems re- lating to homelessness that have plagued the community in re- cent years will be dealt with. By ensuring that behavior such as disorderly conduct, aggressive panhandling and public drinking will not be tolerated in or around CHIP, the quality of life in the community improves. Bike Team: One of CHIP's greatest strengths is the community policing substation which is housed in the shelter and is also the home of the Clearwater Police Department's Downtown Bicycle Team. Bike Team officers patrol the downtown area, getting to know residents, business owners and the homeless population. The Bike Team often refers clients to CHIP, and they are responsi- ble for enforcing the "Rules of Conduct" at the shelter. Homeless people often complain that they do not feel safe in shelters. The Bike Team makes sure that the shelter is safe and quiet, and also creates a sense of security for neighborhood residents. Tracking Software: Another strength is the CHIP shelter's com- puter network, which is used by social service workers, the police officers at the community policing substation and the soup kitchen administrators. A case management software package was installed to track clients and programs, and prevents much of the "falling through the cracks" that occurs in other social service projects. Data from the Police Department's GIS tracking system is available to substation officers on a real -time basis, and helps define various aspects of Clearwater's public intoxication prob- lem. For instance, the GIS mapping software enables police offi- cers to look at the relationship between different types of busi- nesses (liquor stores, convenience stores and nightclubs) and public drunkenness and its related crimes. CHIP's 48 -bed shelter has been full almost every night since it opened its doors in April 1998. Although Clearwater knew from the start that there would always be "hard- core" homeless people who would not partici- pate in rehabilitation, it is very satisfying to see the number of people who want to take advantage of this excellent program to get back on their feet. Homeless people now have a safe, clean place to stay, and fewer of them are on the street, sleeping in door- ways or panhandling. The community has also taken responsibil- ity for the homeless people in their midst. Clearwater residents now see the shelter as one of their neighbors, and are taking an ac- tive role in helping to make CHIP a success. Evaluating the Success After citizens brought the problems of homelessness and the accompanying crime and urban deterioration to the attention of the city government, the police department decided that the best way to plan effective strategies was to get accurate data on every aspect of the problem it could find. The police department applied for and was awarded a one- year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Ori- ented Policing Services (COPS) Problem Solving Partnerships grant program. With the grant money, the police department and CHIP studied the problems associated with public intoxication (particularly involving homeless inebriates) and the associated criminal activities such as vandalism, theft, panhandling, disor- derly conduct and loitering. The grant also funded the purchase of a computer system to track chronic inebriates who came to the CHIP homeless shelter and police substation, the referrals that were made for each individual, and the effectiveness of these re- ferrals. The COPS Problem Solving Partnerships grant required that a minimum of five percent of the total budget be set aside to hire an outside consultant (preferably a local university) to determine whether the project was effective, and the Clearwater Police De- partment hired the University of South Florida to provide this service. From the beginning, monthly meetings of all project partners and the evaluator were conducted at the Clearwater Police De- partrrlent. An initial meeting was held with community residents and business owners to describe the project and elicit their input on it, and another meeting was held at the end of the project to as- sess CHIPS' overall impact on the community. The problem, as defined by the COPS grant, was loitering and disorderly conduct and the related behaviors of public drinking, panhandling and vagrancy. Baseline statistics on these activities, garnered from police calls and arrests, were assembled at the be- ginning of the project along with surveys on problem perception by local businesses and residents. Police data was gathered throughout the year, and another set of surveys was conducted at the grant's conclusion. The data indicated both a modest increase in targeted criminal activities since January 1997, and a perception by local workers and residents that crime levels had decreased since the project began. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed at the beginning of the project felt that crime was a problem in the target area, com- pared with 46% at the end of the project year. There was also a 22% decrease in the number of people who said they had wit- nessed a crime in the target area (from 76% to 54 %). In addition, the surveys revealed improved community satis- faction in three other important areas: physical appearance of the target area; area job opportunities; and the quality of police ser- vices. Satisfaction with police responsiveness rose from 47% at the beginning of the project to 69% at the project's end. Much of this improvement can be attributed to the new police substation and the Downtown Bicycle Team. Local residents and business owners alike agreed that the Bike Team was a very effective crime deterrent, and the interaction between residents and the officers on bikes has greatly improved relations between the public and Clearwater's Police Department. The evaluation also revealed areas where improvement is needed. A big problem for businesses was cleaning up their premises after the nightly 'binge drinking" bouts of local tran- sients. The second most common complaint had to do with a few overly aggressive homeless individuals who frightened potential business customers away. Both area workers and police officers agreed that it was primarily this small group of aggressive tran- sients who were responsible for many of the area's crime prob- lems. Because homelessness is caused by a variety of circumstances (including physical disability and mental illness, as well as alco- holism and drug use), Clearwater knows that it will be impossi- ble to completely eradicate this problem; yet there is a feeling of optimism that recent solutions will keep gathering steam and produce additional positive results in the future. The community has become better versed in creating new approaches, and has also learned a great deal about collaboration and consensus building, both of which will be useful in the future. The CHIP shelter, in particular, is the result of years of net- working and partnerships, starting with the Police Department's response to public concerns about the deterioration of the city's downtown area and increasing homeless population. Many orga- nizations, government agencies, business owners, and residents worked together to solve these problems, and their united efforts made Clearwater's vision of a homeless shelter/ community policing substation a reality. Through trust and consensus build- ing, other communities can create effective collaborations as well. We hope our success will inspire other police departments to reach out to the people they serve, because it is only by working together that a community can even begin to solve today's com- plex, multi- faceted social problems. 4- Register Now!

For the past 15 years, the City of Clearwater has embraced a philosophy of community policing as an enhancement to traditional methods of law enforcement. Community policing in Clearwater has evolved into a comprehensive program made up of problem - solvers from various city departments, all working together with Clearwater's businesses and residents to address the challenges facing this Gulf Coast resort city of 100,000. Going well beyond the initial assignment of specific officers to pro - actively patrol certain neighborhoods, community policing in Clearwater has become an integral part of law enforcement operations in the city. City departments, such as the Community Response Team, Public Works, and Central Permitting all work closely with the Police Department to address issues of concern to residents. Alliances with churches, community groups, social service agencies and various businesses have laid the foundation for a relationship built on trust, understanding and cooperation. Community policing in Clearwater is a comprehensive philosophy implemented at the command staff level in cooperation with city management; administered by mid - management police supervisors tasked with team - building and resource support; and applied by all employees, sworn and civilian alike. Although community policing in Clearwater is primarily a patrol division function, its policies and coordination are integrated throughout the entire department. Community policing in Clearwater was designed and implemented with the express purpose of ensuring public safety; stimulating community involvement and organization; and establishing positive and lasting police /community relations while resolving social conflict. In the early 1980's, after a decade of tremendous municipal growth, police administrators recognized a continuing trend in rising crime rates and decaying police /community relations; a growing concern among residents over neighborhood violence; and the apparent ineffectiveness of the department's traditional reactive responses toward crime in the community. These problems and their accompanying causative factors were draining the department's resources and adversely affecting the quality of life in Clearwater. Police administrators discussed at length the problems and failures and identified numerous possible solutions before arriving at a conclusion: a new and innovative approach was needed. Police management staff began the process by extensively researching various innovative approaches to law enforcement, which included discussions with organizations throughout the law enforcement community (i.e., the National Neighborhood Foot Patrol Center; the Flint and Detroit, Michigan Police Departments; New York City Police Department; Houston, Texas Police Department; Tampa, Florida Police Department; and Dade County, Florida Police Department. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein, whose experience as Assistant Director of Public Safety in Lakewood, Colorado allowed him to experience the concept of "Team Policing" in the 1970's, was a major facilitator in the development of the community policing philosophy in Clearwater. Together, Chief Klein and his management staff approached City of Clearwater Police Department Page 1 Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 the City of Clearwater's City Commission and City Manager with their blueprint for a police department based upon the concept of community policing. Thus began the first of a series of partnerships that over the years has led to Clearwater becoming one of the premier police agencies espousing the community policing philosophy. Clearwater's strategy of community policing began 15 years ago with the opening of Clearwater's first community policing substation in the Countryside area of the city. During the latter part of 1981, a committee of police personnel formed to investigate the need for and the feasibility of constructing a satellite police station in the northeastern section of the city. The investigation revealed that response times for calls from the Countryside area often took up to 20 minutes because police officers were responding from the department's downtown headquarters. It was obvious that there was a need to provide increased police service to the Countryside community. The department was fortunate in that it already owned property in the Countryside area, which housed a police canine and firearms training facility. This information was presented to the Clearwater City Commission in February 1982 with the recommendation that the city proceed with the construction of a new police substation. The recommendation, which was supported by various neighborhood groups and the Chamber of Commerce, was approved by the Commission. With completion of construction and the opening of the new Countryside substation in 1983, .Clearwater began a new era of community policing that continues to this day. In 1985, the Clearwater Police Department identified the North Greenwood community as the next area for expansion of its community policing strategy. The North Greenwood community had suffered for decades from a spiraling state of urban decay and neighborhood neglect; an ever increasing crime rate; and a perceived second -hand status when it came to municipal improvements. Police management, realizing that the traditional methods of law enforcement had been ineffective in this neighborhood, decided to make North Greenwood a model for its community policing program. With the help of an $89,000 Community Development Block Grant, the North Greenwood Neighborhood Patrol (NGNP) Police Substation was opened in 1985 in a surplus city building centrally located along the community's business district. Initially, citizen reaction to the increased police presence was not favorable; in fact, some actually picketed City Hall in opposition to the substation. Yet, through the combined efforts of the police officers assigned to the substation — all on a volunteer basis - along with the local business community and various neighborhood associations, a change began to take place in the North Greenwood community. Children who were exposed to department - sponsored computer learning centers, Girls' Clubs and Boy Scout Troops, summer jobs programs and holiday parties, came to realize that the men and women in uniform were not their enemies. Students' grades improved with the help of volunteer after - school tutors. The doors to the substation were left open and residents began to peek in and initiate conversations with officers. As the officers began to patrol the North Greenwood community on foot and on bicycles, the residents came to recognize and appreciate what City of Clearwater Police Department Page 2 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 the officers were doing, and juvenile crime and its attendant social problems began to decrease. Working closely with other city departments, the NGNP officers identified more than 100 abandoned and unsafe structures that were then scheduled for demolition. With the help of the Florida Power Corporation, street lighting was improved for added safety and as a deterrent to crime. City sanitation crews assisted with "Operation Clean Sweep," an annual project that removes hundreds of tons of trash and debris from public streets and vacant lots. The city instituted new streetscapes and municipal landscaping while the Code Enforcement department worked with businesses, residents and NGNP officers to address the issue of substandard housing in the community. This led to the creation of the "Community Response Team" under the command of a police lieutenant, who together with the residents and municipal employees, addressed the problem of the "broken window" syndrome. The North Greenwood Civic Association, the Ministerial Alliance, the NAACP and various business and civic groups worked with the NGNP in organizing not only anti -drug rallies and marches but an annual cultural streetfest that has grown into a regional event administered by the community groups themselves. The Department of Health and Human Services, together with the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Pinellas County Government, Operation PAR, the Juvenile Welfare Board and the City of Clearwater created a community partnership called the "Sergeant Allen Moore Community Partnership." This partnership empowered residents and community leaders to establish prevention programs that continue today based on the immediate needs of their neighborhood. In 1996, Clearwater was designated an official Weed and Seed site, and once again, North Greenwood was the beneficiary of more pro- active programs. As part of Clearnrater's overall strategy to bring community policing to all areas of the city, the Weed and Seed target area was designed to include not only North Greenwood, but the bordering neighborhoods of South Greenwood and Old Clearwater Bay as well. The Weed and Seed Job Skills Training Center and Computer Learning Lab is part of Clearwater's strategy aimed at revitalizing its Weed and Seed area. Pinellas County School Board provides GED programming and basic job skills training for the center. The Job Skills Training Center program includes skills training, training on how to look for a job, how to complete applications, how to write resumes, job readiness training, peer counseling, networking, and basic education. Center staff conduct tutoring sessions coordinated with a local athletics program and furnish assistance to local community groups in newsletter preparation and database development. Other activities include practice for High School Competency Testing and research for educational financial aid. The Clearwater Police Department also participates in the Prenatal and Early Childhood City of Clearwater Police Department Page 3 Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 Nurse Home Visitation Program with Pinellas County Health Department. This exciting program is a highly acclaimed, well- tested model that improves health and social functioning of low-income first -time mothers and their babies through nurse home visits in the first two years of the child's life. The program's positive results indicate its potential for reducing child abuse /neglect, childhood injury, use of welfare, unintended subsequent pregnancies, and involvement of the mother in substance abuse. Community policing teams act as a resource to the community health nurses for referrals to the Job Skills Training Center and Computer Leaming Lab. The nurses also refer applicants to our Jobs for At -Risk Youth Special Initiative Program and the Job Skills Training Center. Clearwater's Jobs for At -Risk Youth and Adults program, which is administered by the not - for- profit Career Options, Inc., focuses on a broad range of employment and training issues for hard -to -serve populations by establishing planning strategies that help form decisions, including maximizing use of community resources through public/private partnerships. Safehouse, the designated safe haven for Clearwater's Weed and Seed strategy, operates two locations in the targeted area. The Safehouse program is a neighborhood - based, non - residential alcohol and other drug treatment center. It also administers a No More Home Alone program for youths suspended from school; coaching is given in the areas of peer pressure, behavioral problems, violence in the classroom, dealing/coping with authority, substance abuse prevention, anger and aggression, and decision making. Today Clearwater boasts a total of nine community policing substations throughout the city. Each one has been instituted as the result of a number of community partnerships including police, city administrators, various social service and government agencies, and most importantly, the people who actually live in the community. Clearwater has also been in the forefront of incorporating technology into its community policing strategy. The police department began its Geographic Information System (GIS) project in 1996/1997 with funding from the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Assistance Program. The GIS project is being accomplished in collaboration with Pinellas County as a pilot for all other law enforcement agencies in Pinellas County. The basis of the system is Pinellas County's GIS mapping which has over 400 pre - existing and maintained information layers including all property addresses, Property Appraiser's Office information, building inspection activities, 911 /Emergency Management data, and County - fumished utilities information. To this database Clearwater has added actual crime data, as well as other data collected from Clearwater's Public Works Department. Resource information (such as parks, schools, libraries, and school crossings) has already been added to the system. Other information such as after school programs, job skills programs, and health services are being added to the system as the project moves forward. GIS enables the user to prepare maps showing the number of specified types of incidents Citv of Clearwater Police Department Page 4 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 and locations for these incidents. Analysis of these maps allows a more comprehensive view of criminal activity with trends and successful prevention methods more easily identified. Additionally, at any point indicated on the generated map, information concerning that location can be retrieved (such as all criminal incidents reported at a certain address, full report information on each incident, victims, suspects, and property ownership). The ability to consistently produce customized maps and reports that assist the officers, detectives, and crime analysts of the Clearwater Police Department and other participating agencies with their divergent requirements continues to be the primary goal of this project. Because of the extremely close proximity to each other of the municipalities in Pinellas County, the ability to share relevant data between agencies will result in improved crime analysis and crime prevention at all levels. Since criminals pay little attention to municipal boundaries, this will result in more accurate crime analysis and prediction of future serial crime locations and times for all participating agencies. The benefit to all citizens will be better prevention of crime and apprehension of perpetrators. Clearwater's GIS is also being used with Clearwater's community notification system and the Police Department's live, interactive Blueline CPD cable television program to inform Clearwater citizens of crime and crime trends in their neighborhoods. Blueline, which is hosted by Chief of Police Sid Klein, informs residents about what the Police Department is doing and gives them a chance to give the department input. In each episode of the program, Chief Klein takes calls from residents, shows pictures of people charged with prostitution and soliciting, and honors officers who have done exemplary community policing work. Clearwater residents are informed when an upcoming episode of Blueline will feature their neighborhood by way of the department's new computerized autodialer system. In January 1998, Clearwater installed a $32,000 autodialer system at police headquarters which allows the department to contact 1,200 residents by telephone in an hour and give each resident a 30- second message about an emergency, crime in their neighborhood, or upcoming public meetings. The autodialer has rapidly proven to be one of the most effective new technological tools to assist Clearwater is implementing its community policing strategy. Clearly, community policing has been an integral part of Clearwater's policing strategy for a long time, and it continues to evolve to this very day. 2. Since 1993, complaints about chronic inebriates and homeless persons suffering from alcohol abuse have become a daily occurrence in Clearwater. Homeless "camps" have sprung up in many undeveloped areas — especially in pockets close to the downtown section of Clearwater. Vandalism, panhandling, loitering, thefts, and general deterioration of property have been the result at an ever - increasing rate in the downtown area -- all associated with the problems of the homeless, about one -half of whom suffer from alcohol /drug abuse. City of Clearwater Police Department Page 5 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 Citizens and business owners first brought this problem to the attention of city management. At the direction of the City Commission, Clearwater's Police Chief spearheaded efforts to coordinate efforts on a community -wide basis to determine solutions to the homelessness - related issues -- especially those associated with public drunkenness and chronic inebriates. The result was the founding of the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP) and its subsequent project to build an emergency overnight shelter incorporating a community policing substation is one of the first of its kind in the country. Over the past several years, the downtown area of the city has had the highest number of complaints concerning public intoxication, as well as increasing numbers of incidents involving vandalism, petty theft, and loitering. Property values in this general area are not appreciating and business activity is not growing. Clearwater and its partner, The Salvation Army, realized that in order to develop the best strategies to deal with the problems inherent with public intoxication, technology must be in place to track and analyze captured data. On May 27, 1997, the City of Clearwater Police Department received notification that it had been awarded a grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Problem Solving Partnerships grant program. The grant, in the amount of $90,856, funded a one -year collaborative project conducted by The Salvation Army, CHIP, and the Clearwater Police Department. The project investigated the problems associated with public intoxication, particularly as it relates to the homeless population and criminal activities such as vandalism, theft, panhandling, disorderly conduct, and loitering. The grant also funded the purchase of a computer system to track chronic inebriates, referrals, effectiveness, etc. at the CHIP homeless shelter and police substation. CHIP is an emergency homeless shelter program that serves truly homeless persons in need of services.. Clients can obtain food and other essential support services — but must be involved in the intervention program coordinated by The Salvation Army. This program consists of counseling, caseworker review, housing placement, job placement, and the like. Not only does CHIP provide a place for homeless persons to sleep, but it addresses the individual's problems, such as alcohol and substance abuse, that may have caused the homeless condition in the first place. Historical data show that 59% of homeless persons in need of services are alcohol and/or other substance abusers. The Salvation Army has provided assistance and help to Upper Pinellas County citizens since 1926. Various community and city leaders, business and property owners, and professionals and non - professionals within the community have participated on the board. The community supports the work of The Salvation Army through its many food drives, Christmas Kettle campaigns, and solicitation of emergency donations. Support has also City of Clearwater Police Department Page 6 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 come from governmental entities within the community through grants and acknowledgment. The City of Clearwater Police Department and The Salvation Army have worked together over the past several years to establish and operate a temporary emergency shelter facility for homeless individuals. Effective communication has been an essential component of this relationship. The Police Department participates in monthly meetings of social service organizations that deal with homeless individuals in Upper Pinellas County. Additionally, The Salvation Army has coordinated services for the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office and the Largo and Pinellas Park Police Departments. The Salvation Army maintains a continuing working relationship with each of these law enforcement agencies. The Salvation Army of Upper Pinellas has a strong background in working with individuals that have alcohol and /or alcohol related problems. Through the establishment of The Salvation Army's Homeless Intervention Program, a course of action is planned for each client to coordinate all assistance programs and assist the client in obtaining that help. The Homeless Intervention Program is a multi- faceted program aimed at assisting individuals to confront the barriers and circumstances that have placed them in the ranks of the homeless. Because of The Salvation Army's extensive background in dealing with chronic inebriates, especially among the homeless, this agency is an ideal partner to assist the Clearwater Police Department and CHIP in developing and implementing strategies to deal with public intoxication and its inherent problems. Clearwater has also collaborated with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which owns the property on which the CHIP shelter is built and operates the adjacent Soup Kitchen. St. Vincent de Paul is leasing the land to CHIP for a fifteen -year period at a rent of $1 per year. The St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen feeds approximately 200 persons each day, the majority of whom are homeless. St. Vincent de Paul also assists in the implementation of CHIP's client registration program. In order to receive services at the CHIP shelter or St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, an individual must present proof of residence. If a person cannot provide this information, he /she must go to the CHIP shelter and obtain a CHIP photo identification card. A digital photo will be taken of the individual and affixed to a laminated CHIP ID card. The card will serve as the key to services at CHIP and the Soup Kitchen and can be revoked at any time for failure to abide by any of the rules established by CHIP. Everybody's Tabernacle /Homeless Emergency Project (HEP), which houses about 115 persons in emergency housing and about 100 in transitional housing, assists in providing temporary housing for clients when they are ready to leave the CHIP shelter. As part of an overall plan to network with other agencies serving the homeless in Pinellas County, CHIP has negotiated a lease agreement with HEP which will allow CHIP to use one of HEP's housing facilities in Clearwater for transitional housing. The facility consists of four bedrooms, common living /dining quarters, restroom, patios and a yard. It will be the first City of Clearwater Police Department Page 7 Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 transitional housing that has been acquired by CHIP for use by clients when they leave the CHIP shelter. Clearwater Housing Authority is responsible for building management and maintenance of the shelter and will assume responsibility for additional transitional housing when that phase of the project unfolds. Directions for Mental Health, Inc. is providing mental health case management and addictions - related psychotherapy to CHIP clients. Directions plays a major role in the team case conference during which all providers coordinate services to each individual. The Neighborhood Advisory Committee has been created by residents from the neighborhood surrounding the shelter to monitor, advise and volunteer services at the shelter. CHIP met with a certain amount of resistance from neighborhood residents and businesses when the project first began. That resistance has been overcome and has been replaced by active community participation in the project. The Neighborhood Advisory Committee is the end result of that change in attitude; their continuing support is without question one of the most critical elements in the project. One of the greatest strengths of the CHIP program is the community policing substation which is housed in the shelter and which also serves as home to the Clearwater Police Department's Downtown Bicycle Team. In line with Clearwater's tradition of pro- active community policing, officers on bicycles are patrolling the downtown area and getting to know the residents, business owners, and also the homeless population. The Bike Team is taking a very active role in referring clients to CHIP, as well as enforcing the "Rules of Conduct" at the shelter. One of the complaints often raised by the homeless themselves about shelters is that they do not feel safe there. The presence of the Downtown Bicycle Team at the CHIP shelter provides a sense of security not only for staff and homeless residents at the shelter, but also for residents of the surrounding neighborhood who feared the worst when news of the shelter was first announced. Another strength of Clearwater's project is the installation of a computer network at the emergency homeless shelter for the social service workers, the police officers at the community policing substation and the soup kitchen administrators. A major case management software package has been purchased and installed for the tracking of clients and programs. This software will facilitate these activities, allowing for more informed and efficient selection of treatment per client. It will also prevent much of the °falling through the cracks" that occurs in many other social service projects. Additionally, data collected by the Police Department's geographic information system (GIS) from public intoxication incidents and complaints is available on a real -time basis for officers at the substation, thereby assisting with "hot spot" identification. The computers and software aid in conducting time and space analyses of various aspects of the public intoxication problems encountered in Clearwater. For example, the mapping software will enable police officers to look at the relationship between different types of businesses City of Clearwater Police Department Page 8 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 (liquor stores, convenience stores, nightclubs, etc.), transportation routes, public intoxication reports, vandalism, etc. Clearwater and its various partners realized early on that community support would be essential to the success of the homeless intervention initiative. In order to keep the lines of communication open, CHIP is distributing a newsletter and crime prevention literature to the community. CHIP has also designed the "Street Survival Guide," a brochure to serve as a pocket guide to services for homeless persons in Clearwater. The brochure is available to all homeless people in Clearwater, community policing officers, local area businesses, and residents. Featured prominently on the back of the brochure are the "CHIP Rules of Conduct" which clearly state that public drinking/drunkenness, panhandling, loitering, and disorderly or violent behavior will not be tolerated. Clearwater's community policing effort has caused a profound change and greatly improved relations between the community and the police department throughout its various neighborhoods. This change has been dramatically demonstrated throughout the department's involvement with CHIP. The Clearwater Police Department was instrumental in bridging the initial gap that existed between CHIP and local area residents who opposed construction of a homeless shelter in their neighborhood. Convinced that the project could not succeed without the cooperation of the people who live in the neighborhood, the Clearwater Police Department communicated with one of the shelter's most vocal opponents and asked her to chair a committee that would work closely with the department and CHIP both during and after construction of the shelter. The result was the creation of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee comprised of local business owners and residents who notify CHIP and community policing officers when problems arise and then work together to resolve them. The goal of the committee is to make the shelter the best it can be and to ensure peaceful coexistence between area and shelter residents. As a result of these efforts on the part of the Clearwater Police Department, the neighborhood residents are no longer considered an "obstacle," but rather are seen as yet another partner in what has proven to be a very successful project. Clearwater's Downtown Bicycle Patrol Team is yet another shining example of how community policing has changed the neighborhood and its relationship with police. The Bike Team has now become a familiar sight in the downtown area and in the immediate vicinity of the shelter and substation. The response from the public has been overwhelming. A survey of downtown merchants and residents indicated that the public felt that the team was a major crime deterrent and effective crime prevention tool. There can be no doubt that the personal interaction between the community policing officers on bicycles and the community residents has greatly improved relations between the public and the Clearwater Police Department. Clearwater is already beginning to see a change in the problem of homelessness in the community. Word of mouth on the new CHIP shelter has spread among the homeless City of Clearwater Police Department Page 9 Sid Klein - (727) 5624343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 community. The 48 -bed shelter has been full almost every night since it opened its doors in April 1998, thus providing a safe haven for many who otherwise would be forced to sleep on the streets. Getting people off the streets and into a program that will assist them in dealing with their problems and getting back on their feet is critical to solving the problem of homelessness. Although Clearwater knew from the start that there will always be those "hard -core" homeless who will not want to participate in the CHIP program, it is very satisfying to see that there are a number of people who truly are interested and are showing up at the shelter looking for services. The problem has also changed in that it is now considered to be a "community" problem and not just a "homeless" problem. Residents in the community no longer see the homelessness issue as somebody else's problem that they would prefer not have in their community. Under the leadership of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee and with the assistance of CHIP staff and the Clearwater Police Department, residents now see the shelter as one of their neighbors and have taken an active role in helping to make CHIP a success. This one factor may prove to be the most important element in the long -term outcomes of the CHIP shelter and its program. Clearwater's community policing strategy has already proven to have a major impact on the quality of life in neighborhoods throughout the city. Already a similar pattern is emerging in the downtown area immediately surrounding the CHIP shelter. The presence of the Downtown Bicycle Team and the police substation at the shelter has already been credited with an increased sense of safety and well -being by community residents and businesses. The fact that the homeless now have a safe, clean place to stay and to get help for their problems means that many of them are no longer "hanging out" on the streets, panhandling and drinking. The strict enforcement of CHIP's "Rules of Conduct," which are plainly spelled out in CHIP's "Street Survival Guide" will ensure that many of the problems relating to homelessness that have plagued this community in recent years will be dealt with. By ensuring that behavior such as disorderly conduct, aggressive panhandling, and public drinking will not be tolerated in or around CHIP, the quality of life in the community has already shown some improvement. Although the shelter has only been open since April 1998, it is expected that through the continuing efforts of the Clearwater Police Department, CHIP, its many partners and the community residents, the quality of life in this neighborhood will continue to improve. 3. A key component of Clearwater's COPS Problem Solving Partnerships grant was the evaluation phase of the project. COPS required that a minimum of 5% of the total project budget be set aside to hire an outside consultant— preferably a local university —to determine whether the responses implemented to address the problem had the desired impact. Toward that end, the Clearwater Police Department entered into an agreement with Camot Nelson, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of South Florida. Dr. Nelson and his graduate student, John.Roberts, have worked closely with the Clearwater Police Department and CHIP throughout the various phases of the grant project. Following the criteria established by the COPS grant, monthly meetings of all project partners and the evaluator were conducted at the Clearwater Police Department. City of Clearwater Police Department Page 10 Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 An initial meeting was held with community residents and business owners to describe the project to them and to elicit their input. Another meeting was held at the end of the project to assess the overall impact of the project upon the community. The "problem" as defined by the COPS grant was loitering /disorderly conduct and the related problems of public drinking, panhandling, and vagrancy. Base -line data pertaining to police statistics on these activities were gathered to compare to statistics at the project's conclusion. Data on these and other crime statistics in the vicinity were garnered from police calls and arrests and gathered throughout the project period. Surveys of local businesses and residents in the community were also taken at the beginning and end of the project period. A comparison at the conclusion of the project indicated a modest increase in the targeted criminal activities in the area since January 1997. Interestingly, the perception of workers and residents in the area concerning local crime levels generally improved during the course of the project. Baseline data showed 63% of those surveyed felt that crime was a problem in the target area, compared with 46% at the end of the project year. The data also reflected a decrease in the proportion of individuals witnessing crime in the target area, with 76% reported at the beginning of the project, and 54% at the end of the project period. The grant evaluation also revealed improved satisfaction on the part of the community in three other important areas: (1) physical appearance of the target area; (2) area job opportunities; and, (3) quality of police services. Most notably, the increase in satisfaction with police responsiveness rose from 47% at the onset of the project to 69% at the close of the project year. Much of this improvement can no doubt be attributed to the new police substation and the implementation of the Downtown Bicycle Team. The project evaluation also revealed some areas where improvement is still needed. The biggest complaint from many area workers dealt with the problem of cleaning up their business premises after transients who have engaged in "binge drinking" there the night before. The second most common complaint stemmed from problems caused by a few overly aggressive homeless individuals who frighten potential business customers away. Both local area workers and police officers agreed that it is primarily this small group of aggressive transients who are responsible for many of the area's crime problems. The project evaluation helped to bring into focus what has been accomplished and what remains to be done. Homelessness is a very complex problem that is often the end result of a variety of circumstances for different people, i.e., alcohol /drug dependency, illness /disability, or mental illness. Due to the nature of the problem of homelessness, which is a major factor in Clearwater's problem of public drinking and the associated activities, it would be impossible to ever completely eradicate the problem in our community. City of Clearwater Police Department Page 11 Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 ' ( V , Yet the trend appears to be that the community is improving and that given time the variety of responses that have already been put into place will create even more positive results in the future. New and different approaches to problems in the area will be implemented as the situation warrants. Clearwater is already negotiating with Dr. Nelson to continue to monitor and evaluate the situation after the close of the grant in order to assess the long -term results of the project. 4. Clearwater has learned much about partnering and consensus- building from its involvement with CHIP and in working toward a solution to the homelessness problem. It is a lesson that could benefit other agencies as well. The CHIP shelter is the result of years of networking and partnering on the part of the Clearwater Police Department in response to public concerns about the deterioration of the city's downtown area and increasing homeless population. Utilizing problem - solving strategies that had worked in past community policing ventures, Clearwater was determined to unite all forces in the community to address homeless - related issues in downtown Clearwater. Clearwater's vision of a homeless shelter /community policing substation has been realized. Although the shelter only opened its doors in April 1998, the results of this pro - active community policing approach to the problem of homelessness are very promising indeed. A key element to Clearwater's success thus far in solving homeless problems, at least partially, has been the collaboration of the many organizations, government agencies, business owners, and residents in determining the solutions to be implemented. Throughout the entire process, the CHIP partners — Clearwater Police Department, Clearwater Housing Authority, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, The Salvation Army, and others — have formed the foundation for building a community solution to Clearwater's homelessness problem. Through trust and consensus building, other communities can also put together this type of collaboration. Only by working together can a community even come close to beginning to solve today's complex multi- faceted societal problems such as homelessness. City of Clearwater Police Department Sid Klein - (727) 562 -4343 645 Pierce Street Clearwater, FL 33756 Page 12 A Positive lice Pro, Iff he Homeless Clearwater deals with homelessness and quality of life issues ix years ago Clearwater, Florida experienced an upsurge in problems rooted in homelessness. At that time, officials were moving ahead with ambitious redevelopment plans to transform Clearwater into a tourist - friendly model American city. Something had to give. Vagrants congregated in empty lots and camped out in abandoned proper- ties. The downtown heart of this city of 100,000 residents draws another 20,000 or so tourists during the beach season — and was plagued by theft, drugs, prosti- tution and vandalism. Street people were sleeping on private property, indi- viduals were arrested for urinating and defecating on the streets. There was an increase in public drunkenness, graffiti and littering. Business owners com- plained that customers were being dri- ven away. Property values were being eroded as the quality of life deteriorat- ed. This was a commonplace scenario played out to some degree in virtually every urban area in America. But in Clearwater the city officials took an uncommon approach to resolving home- BY RONALD J. GETZ less problems. They asked the police chief to come up with a solution. Some critics of community policing assail police involvement in what they see as social issues that have nothing to do with law enforcement. But Police Chief Sid Klein, who heads a depart- ment of over 500 sworn and civilian employees, instituted community polic- ing in Clearwater in 1983 and doesn't see it that way. "The reality is that law enforcement is a catalyst for social change in our communities," Klein said. "However, never in my wildest dreams did I believe www.lawandordennag.com 93 as chief of police I would get involved ► in building and operating a homeless shelter. But I had a mandate from the city council to do a job. We sometimes have to take non - traditional approaches to public safety issues. "Police officers are usually the first responders on the scene and we're like the janitors of society. We pick up the pieces when society breaks down. It's an evolving role that we have to learn how to do. I see it as a matter of neces- sity that we become part of the solution if we're going to operate for the future." That doesn't mean that cops are social workers. "You have to have a balance between community policing: — the social work, the soft side`of this business, and traditional law enforce -`' ment," Klein said. "But you must never lose sight of the law and order compo- nent. "You must fulfill that expectation from citizens; they want police officers to act like officers, look like officers, and respond to their calls for service. This homeless program was very delib- erately structured to incorporate all three elements." Clearwater now has an $800,000 homeless shelter with an operating bud- get of a half million dollars a year. It is probably unique in that it includes a police substation. It is not just a shelter. Virtually every area organization and agency working with the homeless has a presence at the shelter, dealing with everything from mental problems to substance abuse to job placement. Known as CHIP (Clear- water Homeless Intervention Project), it is an alliance of government, private and non - profit organizations with a shared vision of serving the homeless with compassion and dignity. It isn't all one -sided either. The homeless are expected to take responsi- bility for their actions and help them- selves get back on their feet. "CHIP is not a flop house where the homeless are warehoused," Klein said. "Clients must follow strict rules. Every person at the shelter who is able to work is expected to find employment within eight days or show a good faith effort." Demonstrating its willingness to take non - traditional approaches to solv- ing tough problems, Clearwater's police department is now in the housing busi- 94 LAW and ORDER May 1999 ness. The department used money seized from drug operations to purchase a sin- gle family home. The home is leased to a social service agency and used for transitional living units for CHIP clients who have "graduated" from the pro- gram. Transitional housing eases the way for uprooted individuals to eventu- ally make the move back into their own homes. "What is remarkable about this pro- ject is that the police department was the focal point to bring different agen- cies together to solve the problem of the homeless," said Mary Lou Guthart, Director of the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and a partner in CHIP. "In many places all kinds of government programs and social agencies are all doing their own thing," Guthart said. "Here we're all in synch to solve the problems of the homeless — not to advance our own separate agendas." Virtually every community in Amer- ica, including rural areas, has its own population of the disenfranchised. The extent of the problem is not known with precision because many of the homeless are largely invisible. Many simply fall through the cracks. Yet it is a problem of national dimensions. How many there are depends on how you define and measure homeless. Social and government agencies some- times have wildly different views even about the primary causes of homeless- ness —and what to do about it. The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) estimates that on any given night 800,000 people are homeless in Ameri- ca. "A more appropriate measure of the magnitude of homelessness is the num- ber of people who experience home- lessness over time, not the number of homeless people," according to NCH. "In most cases, homelessness is a tem- porary circumstance, not a permanent condition." Using that measure, homelessness becomes even more pervasive. During the year, as many as two million indi- viduals experience homelessness. The federal government estimated that as many as 12 million people have been homeless in America at some point in their lives. The trend is not promising. Not everyone is sharing the expanding US e )my. Whatever other factors cause homelessness, poverty and homeless- ness are inextricably linked. More Americans than ever before are classi- fied as living in poverty — some 37 million. About 40% are children. Over 45 million Americans have no health care insurance. Meanwhile there is an acute shortage of affordable rental hous- ing. Who are the homeless? They include children, families, women — and most- ly men. A third of homeless men seek- ing refuge at shelters are veterans even though the Veterans Administration (VA) estimates that vets make up only 10% of the total population. There is no consensus on why peo- ple are homeless. The VA says that drug and substance abuse and war- relat- ed stress are common problems facing homeless veterans. Two social activists who have worked with the homeless, Alice S. Baum and Donald W. Burnes, estimate that up to 85% of the homeless suffer from mental illness or some form of addiction. But other homeless advo- cates differ with that assessment. They argue that most people are sometimes only an illness an accident, or a pay- check away from living on the streets. What is true is that lost jobs, bad luck, poor decisions, domestic abuse, lack of education, pregnancy to unwed teens, chemical dependencies, mental and physical illness, and a host of other social failures have produced a perma- nent and growing underclass. For some, homelessness is a tempo- rary aberration and they return to living normal lives. Others bounce in and out of shelters. Many hold jobs but do not make enough money to pay rent. For still others homelessness is a way of life for real or imagined reasons or an inabil- ity or unwillingness to live by any- body's rules except their own. These are the hard -core street people. They survive on food kitchens, sleep on cots provided by charitable organizations, or hunker down in junked -up automobiles, cardboard boxes, or under bridges and overpasses. Whatever the root causes, the aver- age person appears to be increasingly ambivalent about the homeless. "The United States has a public phi- losophy centered on the idea that we are a meritocracy," according to Isabel Continued on page 96 Police Program for Homeless ' continued from page 94 Sawhill, a Senior Fellow at the Brook- ings Institution and an expert on wel- fare reform, poverty and income inequality. "We tend to believe that people get ahead based on their own talents and energies and therefore they are deserving of wherever they end up." That's why it is an uphill battle to get public opinion on the side of the homeless. People tend to think that those who are down and out did some- thing to get that way. That all they have to do to be like the rest of us is to take responsibility for their lives and get a; job. A member of the mobile media& team who cares for impoverished peo- ple in Pinellas County sees the suffer- ing and despair of the homeless first hand. "I'm a realist," she said. "Many of the people living on the edge of soci- ety will never get off the streets. They will end up in the county morgue for an indigent burial. It's sad that in a country as prosperous as this, we have a popula- tion of the living dead." CHIP: The Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project Clearwater didn't know much about homelessness when it started its project — not even how many there were. The city commission didn't want to just arrest people, sweep the problem under- ground or displace them to another community. Commissioners wanted to deal with homeless issues because they knew it could never be eliminated. The project began in 1993 when Chief Klein was charged with develop- ing a plan of action. Klein employed the problem solving SARA model — scanning, analysis, response and assess- ment. He wanted to find out what they were up against and what resources were available. The department researched homeless programs nationwide, got input from social service providers, compiled sta- tistics on the kind and number of offens- es related to homelessness. Officers talked to the homeless, and Klein visit- ed the city of Orlando where the police are closely involved with a homeless shelter. "There was no way law enforcement 96 LAW and ORDER May 1999 could handle this issue alone," Klein said. "I recommended that a task force be formed representing the continuum of government and social service agen- cies involved with homeless issues throughout the city and county." Klein said it is critical to have rank- ing members of government agencies on such a task force as well as the major constituencies representing govern- ment, private industry and social ser- vice agencies. A member of the Clear- water Commission served as the first task force chairman. This gave the group instant credibility and signified that government was seriously commit- ted to resolving homeless issues. Its members included agencies from city and county government, the Chamber l "The first thing I'd advise a police department leading a homeless project, ,is to prepare to overcome obstacle after obstacle," of Commerce, the Clearwater Housing Authority, the Homeless Emergency Project, The Salvation Army and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The task force quickly discovered homelessness was a larger problem than imagined. Florida has some 55,000 homeless; yet its 146 shelters statewide have only 5,800 beds. Pinellas County authorities, where Clearwater is situat- ed, thought the homeless numbered about 1,500. Opening a shelter one cold night opened their eyes. Klein said, "People were lined up around the block. Families, children, all sorts of people not knowing where they would sleep or where their next meal would come from. We were dealing with far more needy people than we had anticipated — about 3,500 homeless county - wide." As a stop -gap measure, the police department donated a double -wide mobile home as an emergency shelter 1 15 beds. Another shelter was opened in cooperation with the Salva- tion Army. Two "Homeless Help Fairs" were conducted to bring together the homeless constituencies and further define an overall approach. The task force found that the home- less population was not the stereotypi- cal "drunk in the gutter" or the individ- ual who has "never worked a day in his life." Many of those served by Clearwa- ter's temporary shelters were gainfully employed. Shelter clients included fam- ilies, the elderly, and many children the youngest was one month old. The task force formalized its struc- ture as a nonprofit organization known as the Clearwater Homeless Interven- tion Project (CHIP) and membership was broadened. Its purpose was to posi- tively intervene into all issues that homelessness presents to the communi- ty. Its goal was to build a full- service center where the homeless would be treated with dignity and given the means to succeed. Over the next five years, CHIP raised $1.1 million through a combination of government grants and contributions from social service and private dona- tions. In 1998, its centerpiece facility, a 48 -bed shelter for homeless men and women and a dormitory for up to two families, was opened in downtown Clearwater. CHIP serves all of northern Pinellas County and several other cities now refer clients to the facility. CHIP operates around - the -clock every day of the year. The police sub- station houses the Downtown Bicycle Team and is headed by a Sergeant with eight officers. They not only provide security at the CHIP center, but cover the area on their bicycles. It is an ideal way to interact with the homeless and network with business owners and neighbors. CHIP has a handout, its "Street Sur- vival Guide," that officers distribute to the homeless and also provide to busi- nesses and churches in the area. The guide lists the CHIP Rules of Conduct, explains services for the homeless, and includes a map that shows where they can find facilities such as public restrooms. The Clearwater Housing Authority maintains CHIP, while the Salvation Army runs the facility. The St. Vincent Mn de Paul Society operates a Soup Ki i adjacent to the shelter where some 200 volunteers serve 300 meals every day of the year. CHIP Executive Director Terry Ham- mond said that everyone at the shelter is required to enroll in the Salvation Army Intervention Program. Residents must follow strict rules, attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings whether they are addicted or not, participate in counsel- ing and abide by a curfew. "We developed a program with input from the homeless," Hammond said. "Each person has a case manager and has to set goals and outline steps that will get him back into the community as a functioning person. Maybe it starts with getting sober or off drugs, then to develop job skills and get job inter- views. The average stay of a program participant is expected to be eight days, but we give each person as much time as they need to deal with their prob- lems." CHIP is a lifeline where the mental- ly ill, the abused, the elderly, the illiter- ate, the handicapped and others who are adrift on the street can get the direction they need to start a new life. It's also a place where people without an address can get mail or phone calls from prospective employers, use the toilet, take a shower and rediscover what it's like to be "normal" again. Gulf Coast Legal Services provides free legal aid so the homeless can obtain government benefits such as Social Security, Medicare /Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment payments and education assistance. Mobile health vans come to the center twice a week. This is one of the few places the home- less can have their teeth fixed, get health care when they are sick and have pre- scriptions filled free. Prepare A Battle Plan "The first thing I'd advise a police department leading a homeless project, is to prepare to overcome obstacle after obstacle," Klein said. He faced wither- ing criticism and opposition from a broad range of interests including some of his own officers for — among other things — having cops help the home- less and devoting his time to fundrais- ing. "Not one thing went easy. Every- thing was a battle, especially zoning," Klein said. A team was organized to find prop- erty where a shelter could be built. It literally videotaped every promising real estate parcel in the city. Not one place could be found that didn't draw opposition. "The biggest single obstacle was the `Not In My Back Yard' syn- drome," Klein said. "Everyone sees the merit of a shelter to help the homeless — as long as it's built far away from them." Klein came up with the idea of adding n The NightSaverTTM activated with officer in the' driver's seat, with subdued red glow above the mirror. Height: 1 5/8" Diameter: 5 1/2" Three position rocker switch the shelter on a site where the St. Vin- cent de Paul Society was currently oper- ating a Soup Kitchen. Klein appeared regularly month after month before the Planning and Zoning Board to present proposals and answer objections from businesses, neighborhood groups, and zoning officials. He credits much of the success of the project to the way it was organized. Instead of taking on the job himself, he recommended a task force chaired by a city commissioner, which enabled the group to cut across the red tape that hindered progress.

"You may have to initiate your project in the government arena, but there comes a point when you can accomplish more as a nonprofit entity. You're not tied down by government bureaucracy but you can use their resources." Klein faced opposition closer to home, from some of his own officers. When the project began, the then -head of the Fraternal Order of Police charged the chief with rendering Clearwater officers "ineffective" by supporting the homeless who he said "have no desire to better themselves or become gainful- ly employed." "The chief would rather occupy �iis time securing grants to cure the social ills of society, instead of using tradi- tional law enforcement efforts," the union official charged. "It is a sad day when the voices of taxpaying voters are silenced by drunken bums that waste- fully expend those tax dollars and put extensive strains on government and social services." Officer William Connell, Jr. who chose to become a CHIP partner as a member of the Downtown Bicycle Team said, "The chief never intended to do anything but employ the best mix of law enforcement techniques available to deal with a problem downtown. We've seen the difference this approach has taken in reducing crime and tran- sient problems. It's working." Klein had to overcome deep - grained religious beliefs as well. The St. Vin- cent de Paul Soup Kitchen has a tradi- tion of serving food to anyone who walks in off the street with no questions asked. That led to an increase in the number of street people in the down- town vicinity with a consequent increase in crimes. "I had to convince them to revise their policy," Klein said. "Many people come to the kitchen for food because they are poor, but they are not home- less," he said. "But for those that are homeless, we needed some control over those who wouldn't follow rules or who were criminals." A registration policy requires all homeless people that come to the soup kitchen to provide personal identifica- tion and residency information. If they 98 LAW and ORDER May 1999 do not have identification, the person fills out a registration form and police take a digital photo and affix it to a laminated ID. The police do a back- ground check at the same time for crim- inal record and outstanding warrants. Anyone who does not follow the rules of the soup kitchen or is unruly, is "trespassed" and made to leave the property by the on -duty officers. After two trespasses, an individual cannot return to the soup kitchen. "When we instituted this policy, those who didn't want to follow the rules or were incorrigible left the area in droves," Klein said. "For the others who truly wanted help, registration is a way to get them into the intervention program." Clearwater is starting to see turn- arounds. When the project first began, a Neighborhood Advisory Council was formed to get input of businesses and neighbors — many of whom were vocal opponents. Businesses that once fought the shelter are now allies, and some have hired people from the shelter. CHIP has dedicated job phone lines so the homeless can get calls from prospective employers and line up inter- views. Investors are putting money into nearby properties for new construction and to rehab existing buildings. "We have the beginnings of a very active neighborhood association," Klein said. "This issue brought them all togeth- er. One of our most vocal opponents is now involved at the shelter teaching a job skills program to the homeless." Klein believes that CHIP is the focal point around which downtown redevel- opment revolves. "This is the key to redevelopment because our homeless program resolves so many of the quali- ty of life issues that make urban life desirable," Klein said. "Until you deal with the issue of the homeless, prob- lems just multiply." Klein's goal is to stay with the pro- ject until it is financially sustainable. That's one reason why it was important for CHIP to be a non - profit corporation that could benefit from the resources and contributions of the entire commu- nity. "When CHIP is running on its own," Klein concluded, "I can with- draw to focus on the law enforcement part of the project." Meanwhile, he cautions it is critical .it to get overwhelmed by the magni- tude of the problem and just advance the CHIP project a step at a time. "Our goal is to reduce homelessness person by person," Klein said. "We've found that law enforcement can be a force for positive change when it comes to social issues. We give the homeless all the support we can. We don't pity them, we give them due rights and we attempt to instill a sense of responsibility. "That's what it really comes down to. It's ultimately up to them. They have the obligation to succeed on their own."

Pro- gram offerings include Adult Basic Education classes, GED (General Educational Develop- ment) preparation classes and testing, career counseling to assist residents in identifying employment skills and aptitude, guidance on getting and keeping a job, and computer skills instruction. The center is a cooperative venture of the city's Police Department, the Clear- water Adult Education Center/ Pinellas County Schools, and the Mt. Carmel Community Develop- ment Corporation. The city used money from a U.S. Department of Justice Weed and Seed grant to help fund the project and has a contract with the school district for staff to teach classes.

Applicant: Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) and City Of Clearwater. Representatives: Sidney Klein, City of Clearwater Police Chief (work: 562- 4343). Location: 1.3 acres located on the south side of Park Street and on the north side of Pierce Street, approximately 700 feet west of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Atlas Page: 287B. Zoning District: Commercial (C) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) Districts. Request: Amend a condition of approval requiring neighborhood meetings from not less than quarterly to not less than bi- annually on a previous Conditional Use application permitting a residential shelter and police substation (condition of approval adopted November 5, 1996, and re- adopted July 15, 2003, by the Community Development Board). Existing Use: Residential shelter; police substation and parking lot. Neighborhood Associations: Gateway Neighborhood (Pat Vaughn, 1326 Pierce St., Apartment Two, Clearwater, FL, 33756; phone: 727 - 461 - 7599); Clearwater Neighborhoods Coalition (Sondra Kerr, President, P.O. Box 8204, Clearwater, FL 33758). Presenter: Wayne M. Wells, AICP, Planner III. This is basically what was on the July 15, 2003, CDB agenda, but I have updated information to today's circumstances. The Gateway Neighborhood association is old information and I will update tomorrow 10/19/2006 Page 2 of 5 when people who know this information are in the office. If you see anything that needs to change, please let me know by noon on Thursday (tomorrow), as we need to send this to the City Clerk's office for advertising. I need a letter that details what and why you are requesting to change the condition of approval. Should probably detail why the requirement was originally placed on the approval in 1996, how /when meetings have been held in the past (probably more importantly since July 15, 2003) and how attendance has been at such meetings. The letter may include how accepted these meetings have been with the neighborhood, how issues have been resolved through these meetings (generally) and how has communication otherwise been addressed (issues raised by citizens needing more immediate resolution rather than waiting for the quarterly meeting to talk about it and how to resolve it).

I'll ask Chief Klein to address all of your questions since he is an addressee on this email. I don't know the status of the bi- annual request submitted to the CDB, but I am the one who asked that we forward with it. I did attend previous meeting since the CDB allowed CHIP to continue it's operation provided the quarterly meetings were held. When attendance started to lag significantly, my sense was quarterly meetings were too frequently. We can solve the notification issues. I don't know if we can solve the attendance problem. I'm wondering if you want to play a leadership role in the neighborhood and work toward to getting more property owners and residents to attend. Are you interested?

I never received any notification in regard to the date of the CHIP meeting held on July 5 nor did I see notices posted anywhere in the neighborhood. (I moved from Safety Harbor to Clearwater in August 2005 but informed CHIP repeatedly of my new address and have received minutes of the meetings subsequent to my move, which I attended, from Chief Klein's department 10/19/2006 Page 5 of 5 addressed properly.) I also received no notice in regard to an October meeting. Did it occur? Assuming there was a meeting and little attendance, this is no surprise. If I was not notified, who was? Also, were "flyers ... disseminated to area residents, businesses and city staff in advance of the meeting date" per the minutes of the July 5 meeting "? Neither I or any of the property owners and business people I am familiar with in the East Gateway saw or received any. In any case, I have no objection to making these meetings bi- annual. However, given the lack of notification, I question whether Chief Klein should "petition the CDB to allow for bi- annual, rather than quarterly meetings" at this time. Has this petition been filed? If so, has it been scheduled for a hearing date? Is it approved? Is there any resonable explanation for the lack of notification? Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I would appreciate a response as soon as practicable.

It was my first time working with reporters in my new cooperative mode. I spent nearly 2 whole weeks working with the reporters from the Tribune. And not once in the following article is a negative finger pointed at any organization or person. Organizational challenges are best worked out amongst ourselves and not in the media. I kept the issue on funding. I'll get better at cooperative advocacy as I practice more. Jul 7, 2003 For Some Homeless, Problem Not Easily Or Cheaply Solved By NATASHIA GREGOIRE ngregoire @tampatrib.com ST. PETERSBURG - Charles Rodgers, a 43- year -old homeless man, convulsed frightfully on a bed in a donated motel room. His wife, Maryanne, sat helpless beside him, depressed and in pain after miscarrying their child. "Maybe if they had accepted help, if they weren't homeless and mentally ill, they would not have lost their baby," said Steve Kersker, a local advocate who tried to get them assistance. "Unfortunately, they can't grasp that. The illnesses that these people have make their lives so chaotic." Charles and Maryanne represent.the hardest part of homelessness to fix. People with mental problems, physical ailments, or addictions to drugs or alcohol, often unemployable and unwilling to accept help, make it difficult for advocates to rally support for their cause. Many lack the initiative to turn their lives around or the intelligence to navigate the maze of social services that could steer them toward stability. In Pinellas County, where the weather is usually benign and beaches stretch on forever, these people are a sizable part of the estimated 10,000 homeless who spend all or part of their time in the county during any given year. "They don't make it easy," said Larry Chambers, program manager for the Homeless Outreach Support Team in St. Petersburg. "What do you do for someone who needs to be on disability and medication but doesn't acknowledge he has a mental issue and obviously needs help ?" Chambers has spent countless hours trying to help people who return to the streets within days, only to call on him again for more assistance. "This is typical," he said. "Sometimes their minds are racing at a thousand miles a minute. All you can do is help them again." The Rodgerses never got good help for 43- year -old Maryanne's pregnancy. The couple spent much of the past year in a world spanning a few blocks in downtown St. Petersburg. They wandered from handout to handout, sleeping in an open lot or the marginal protection of Williams Park. Their desire to stay together kept them out of homeless shelters, where men and women are housed separately. At times, with him neatly shaven and her in black eyeliner, they almost blended into their bayfront surroundings. Until it rained. As stinging drops sent people around them scurrying for cars and businesses one recent afternoon, the nattily clad man with the bad back and the pregnant woman with the swollen feet kept limping through a soggy park. "When it rains, it's really, really bad," he said. "We have nowhere to go. At nights you have to find all the cardboard out of the Dumpsters that you can." Charles and Maryanne say they met on a telephone chat line after losing custody of their children in divorces three years F/i, ' ago. He lived in Pittsburgh; she, in New York. He rode a bus to meet her. It seems their ride never ends. "We came down to Florida, and I didn't know what was going to happen," he said. The $200 they had from his monthly disability check went quickly on motel rooms, and they soon found themselves homeless. After two nights in an emergency shelter at The Salvation Army, the couple made their bed in a spot as far away as their collective mind would let them go: a parking lot across the street. There they slept, for six months, until Charles' mother sent them bus fare to return to Pittsburgh. Then, as so many chronically homeless people do, they found their way back to Florida. Leaving Them On The Street "It's a very sad world," said Kersker, who has advocated for years for more emergency homeless beds in Pinellas. "They fall into a pit. How do you get them out ?" Kersker, formerly homeless and a diagnosed manic - depressive, can be found most days among the transients in Williams Park, offering dollar- bill handshakes and advice. "I'm bipolar, too," he tells them, presenting himself as an example of how life can improve when mental illness is treated. Kersker contends many of the chronically homeless fall by the wayside because they aren't professionally diagnosed with mental illness. Various surveys show that 32 percent to 57 percent of them have mental health problems. Nationally, experts say, the situation has persisted for a couple of decades as mental institutions have closed, leaving more people on their own. The Tampa Bay area's state- run mental hospital, G. Pierce Wood in Arcadia, shut down three years ago. "You can't just close a hospital and say the problem is gone," said Barbara Sheen Todd, a Pinellas County commissioner leading a new task force formed to address the homeless problem. "We have to have help from the state or the problem will not go away." "Our system does push people with disabilities into poverty," said Fred Fearday, residential services director at Boley Centers for Behavioral Health Care, which helps severely mentally ill residents. Lack Of Funding And More Administrators of The Salvation Army's St. Petersburg shelter recently appealed for help with their growing number of mentally ill clients. The shelter is one of the few in the region with emergency beds, where homeless people can stay for as long as three nights, once every nine months. As part of a new job merit program, though, about half the shelter's 56 beds have been assigned to working homeless people in transition. A minimum of 18 are reserved for emergency shelter. "Most of our beds were emergency beds, but we recognized that there were a lot of homeless working people," said Donald Jones, director of social services. "We could fill our shelters with homeless working people, but we don't." Others agree there is a shortage of emergency beds. But tax money, particularly federal funding, often comes with stipulations designed to help the homeless working poor. "It's hard to promote help for the chronically homeless," said Chambers, whose Homeless Outreach Support Team helps usher people through the system. "They are not seen as helpless creatures.... They're perceived as pariahs." Pinellas officials are considering options to improve homeless programs, although Todd, the county commissioner, dismisses talk of raising taxes as "premature." Beth Eschenfelder, president of the Pinellas County Homeless Coalition, saw her funding cut nearly in half during the recent legislative session. "Unless we close down some programs, we won't have more money," Eschenfelder said. "It can be very devastating to some programs," especially those targeted to the chronically homeless. "For the most part, they are not people who want to be homeless," she said. But "they're the most ... difficult to get back on their feet because they have a range of issues. They're the highest -end users of very expensive services." 'They're Coming Back' Kersker's attempts to get the Rodgerses off the streets quickly hit stumbling blocks. Charles' Social Security disability check disqualifies him from receiving many services. Shelters that cater to the pregnant homeless are designed for younger, single women - so those that would take Maryanne wouldn't take Charles. When The Salvation Army offered to take the couple for six nights, they disappeared before spending one. "They wouldn't let us sleep together," Charles said. "People don't understand. We can't be apart." Their routine resumed at Williams Park during the day and the field near the bus station at night. Two days later, Maryanne miscarried. "We cried and cried and cried," she said. She refused to spend that night at Bayfront Medical Center, saying she didn't want Charles to be alone. So once again they slept in the field. "I was stupid, I guess," she said. "I don't know. I don't think right all the time." Last week, Charles received his Social Security check - and the couple headed north again to Pittsburgh. Social workers predict they will return to the streets. "It doesn't end. It's chronic," Chambers said. "They're still out there, still homeless, and they're coming back." Reporter Natashia Gregoire can be reached at (727) 799 -7413.

He was going over his data that indicates that, as far as I can tell, "calls for service" to 1339 Park Street have increased over the years and there have been over 100 calls in 2003 alone. I asked him if he knew what the calls were for, to which he could not answer. I said that those calls could have been for such things as someone needing to be transported to the hospital (not a crime). The suggestion is that Dr. Jannelli may be attempting to say that the increase in calls for service indicate pervasive crime in the area or at the CHIP facility, which may not be the case. As Chief Klein has indicated, officers initiate calls for service as part of their job, such as checking out a suspicious person, which may not be a crime (but a call for service - an "other event "). You may want to check this out and have the statistics (with as detailed information as possible) available for the meeting to provide an answer if the issue is brought up. He also said that property values should be looked at in rings of like 300 feet and 500 feet, rather than the 1000 feet that has been reviewed. His contention is that the closer one gets to the 1339 property (or soup kitchen), the greater the decline in property value. I have spoken to Nick Clarizio regarding such review. We also spoke about him looking specifically at Dr. Jannelli's property to see if he can figure anything out regarding property values (declining). A final thought or request: The approval in November 1996 for the CHIP facility was for a 48 -bed residential shelter. I have heard that you have 62 beds (as now noted in Reg Owens presentation to City Commission next week). Do you know how there an increase to 62 beds was approved, as I have not found any documentation yet? NOTE NOTE NOTE: THE MEETING TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD IS 1 PM ON TUESDAY, JULY 15, 2003. PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THESE TWO CASES (THE OLD AND NEW) ARE THERE IN COMMISSION CHAMBERS AT 1 PM (NOT 2 PM).

Box 6161 CLZARWhvLR, FL 33758 FAx (727) 791-0366 Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed the Just Value History prepared by the office of Jim Smith, Property Appraiser of Pinellas Gounty. This report was separated into two sections, commercial and residential properties. Per your request I have compared the 1996 Just Value to the 2002 Just Value. A recap of the report is as follows, Commercial Total properties considered 107 Properties that increased In value 62 Properties that stayed the same 11 Properties that decreased in value 44 Of the 44 properties that decreased, 18 were commercial or professional condominiums (use codes 234 and 238) and 16 were condominium conversions (use code 236). Hence, only 10 commercial properties that were not condominiums decreased In Just Value. Overall the Just Value increawd from $21,863,000 to $23,889,500 or a 9.27% increase. Resider' I Total Properties considered 263 Properties that increased in value 242 Properties that stayed the same 6 Properties that decreased in value 16 The Just Value in the residential section from 1996 to 2002 increased from $1e,589,800 to $24,371,400 or a 31.10% increase.

Highway 19 North, Suite 350 OF CL ME�r Holiday, Florida 34691 �RwAT�R Re: Consulting assignment for the proposed Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. Dear Mr. Figurski, Pursuant to your request, we have studied the sales of properties located within an approximate one thousand foot radius of 1350 — 1354 Park Street. Please refer to the addenda for an illustration of the studied area. The properties within the boundary set by the one thousand foot radius consist mainly of single family and multi- family residential improvements. Commercial property uses were found along Cleveland Street, however only residential properties were considered in this assignment. This report is not an appraisal wherein an opinion of value is the main focus of the assignment. It is a real property consulting assignment which is defined under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as: "the act or process of developing an analysis, recommendation, or opinion to solve a problem, where an opinion of value is a component of the analysis leading to the assignment results" (conforms with Standard's Rule 4 and 5 of the USPAP). The report is presented in the same format as a restricted use appraisal report. Supporting documentation and additional data is contained within our office files. It should be clearly understood that this report is not an appraisal report but a study that would typically be a consulting assignment. This report may not be completely understood without additional data within our office files. Identity of the Client The client for this report is Mr. Gerald A. Figurski, Esquire who is the attorney representing Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. Intended Use of the Appraisal The intended use of this report is to assist the client in determining if any obsolescence exists within the studied area when paired to the sales in competing areas of Clearwater. APPRAISALS ❑ CONSULTANTS ❑ EXPERT WITNESS ❑ EMINENT DOMAIN APPRAISALS Property Location The studied area is a one thousand foot radius surrounding 1350 -1354 Park Street in the City of Clearwater, Florida. Property Rights Appraised The property rights or interest to be considered is the undivided fee simple interest as if free and clear of all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, and /or encroachments unless otherwise provided for herein. Purpose of Assignment The purpose of the assignment is to estimate the per square foot values for the single family and multi- family properties within the radius of the aforementioned one thousand foot circle and pair these sales to similar properties located in competing neighborhoods outside the studied area. Type of Value The value reported and analyzed in this consulting assignment is market value. Definition of Market Value The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: buyer and seller are typically motivated; both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. The source of the market value definition is from USPAP, 2002 edition, pages 160 &161. Date of the study The date of study is June 11, 2003. 2 N.A. CLARIZIO AND AssocmmS., INC. Scope of Work The scope of work performed in completing this assignment was extensive. The scope of the work included the following. Inspection and identification of the area defined by the one thousand foot radius. Research into physical and economic factors regarding properties in the market area as related to value. Extensive data research for single family and multi family residential properties. Comparison of properties within the study area with reasonably similar properties found in competing neighborhoods. It should be very clearly understood that this report is a consulting assignment and is considered as a work in progress. In no way should this report be construed as an appraisal report_. The report is a study of sales within a specific area of Clearwater. Study Within this study we have researched the specific area defined by the client for sales of single family residences and small income producing properties from 1999 until the date of this report. Each sale considered was paired to the most comparable sale available outside the studied area. The sales within the studied area will be referred to as the control properties. The pairings outside the studied area will be referred to as the pairing sales. When identifying sales outside the studied area or pairing sales a number of criteria were considered including: Location Sale date Site size Improvement size Car storage Condition of the improvements Porches and Patios The most reliable of the pairings are as follows: N.A.

CLARIZIO AND ASSOCIATES INC. s Conclusion Pairing number one is a pairing of two single family residences with the price per square foot of the control property being somewhat higher than the pairing sale. Pairing number two is also two single family residences with the sale within the studied area selling slightly less than the sale outside the study area. Pairing number three again were single family residences, the sales considered indicate a very narrow range. Pairing four are two small income producing properties with the control sale selling somewhat higher which maybe due to the porches and utilities on the control sale. Pairing five again a small income pairing in this pairing the control property sold at a slightly higher per square foot value which maybe attributable to site size. Within pairing six a small income pairing the control sale indicating a higher price per square foot than the pairing sale. Pairing seven is a single family pairing with the control sale being somewhat higher than the pairing sale. In pairing eight which is again a single family pairing, the control sale sold at a higher price per square foot than the pairing sale. The conclusion of this study is that we were not able to quantify any measurable obsolescence in the sales within the studied area. The studied area was paired to several competing areas within close proximity to the studied area. State Certified General Appraiser License number 0000202 8 s� Charles S.

Wells, AICP, Planner III NM W DATE: December 6, 2006 RE: Update on CU96 -46 - 1339, 1341, 1345 Park Street/1344 Pierce Street At your meeting on November 21, 2006, you approved the application for the above referenced case to "amend a condition of approval requiring neighborhood meetings from not less than quarterly to not less than bi- annually on a previous Conditional Use application permitting a residential shelter and police substation (condition of approval adopted November 5, 1996, and re- adopted July 15, 2003, by the Community Development Board)." It was brought to our attention by an affected property owner that public hearing notices were not sent to surrounding property owners for your November 21, 2006, meeting. There was no one at the meeting for or against this request and was approved as part of the Consent Agenda. Since public notice was not properly given, in accordance with Code provisions, the action by the CDB is null and void.

The Society of St. Vincent DePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc, owns the site and CHIP leases the land from them for $1 /year. The Park Street frontage of the site is presently developed with a soup kitchen, a residential shelter and a police substation. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The site also includes property on Pierce Street that contains a single - family dwelling and a 24 -space parking lot used by both the soup kitchen and CHIP /police facilities. Commercial uses are located to the north fronting on Cleveland Street and to the east along Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are located generally south of Park Street and west of Evergreen Avenue. Community Development Board — November 21, 2006 CU 96 -46 — Page 1 of 4 Development Proposal: On November 5, 1996, the former Planning and Zoning Board approved Conditional Use CU96 -46 with the following seven conditions: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing. 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed. downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non- residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license. 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas. 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location. 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing (11/5/96), after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use. 6. Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organizations to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis or as requested. 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by city code shall be installed on both sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Compliance with Condition #3 did not occur within the three -year trial period, but when brought to the City's attention, scheduled a public hearing for July 15, 2003. After the public hearing, the Community Development Board on July 15, 2003, approved the re- review with the following conditions ( *Indicates prior applicable condition of approval adopted November 5, 1996, carried forward): 1. That the residential shelter only be permitted while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location;* 2. That other expansions to the CHIP campus be reviewed by the Community Development Board; 3. That all site lighting continue to be equipped with a 90- degree cut -off mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of- way, and additional lighting continue to illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non- residential areas;* 4. That CHIP organizations meet with neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular.basis, not less than quarterly;* 5. That the existing six -foot high fencing be maintained on both sides (north and south) of the property to control site access;* 6. That wheel stops for the three parking spaces east of the eastern driveway on Park Street be relocated to the approved locations of 90- degree design parking to comply with the original approved site plan, within 30 days; and 7. That signs be re- erected along the sidewalk from CHIP along the south side of Park Street and the west side of Evergreen Avenue, directing pedestrians to utilize that route, within 60 days. The proposal is to amend the frequency of neighborhood meetings required under Condition #4 from at least quarterly to no less than bi- annually. The primary reason for this request has been the lack of attendance at the meetings and the secondary reason is that the CHIP Center has been operational for 10 years. Ed Brant, Executive Director of CHIP, has detailed the issues related to the reason for this request (see attached email). Community Development Board — November 21, 2006 CU 96 -46 — Page 2 of 4 Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no outstanding Code Enforcement issues associated with the subject property. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: Findings of Fact: 1. That the 1.3 acres is located on the south side of Park Street and on the north side of Pierce Street, approximately 700 feet west of Gulf to Bay Boulevard; 2. That the property is located within the Commercial (C) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) Districts and the Commercial General (CG) and Residential Medium (RM) Future Land Use Plan category; 3. That on November 5, 1996, the former Planning and Zoning Board approved Conditional Use CU96- 46 to permit a residential shelter and police substation in conjunction with the existing, permitted soup kitchen with seven conditions; 4. That a re- review of the original approval did not occur within the three year trial period, but did occur, once the City was made aware of such noncompliance, on July 15, 2003; 5. That on July 15, 2003, the Community Development Board approved the re- review of the original request with seven conditions of approval; 6. That Condition #4 required CHIP organizations meet with neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis, not less than quarterly; 7. That CHIP has held meetings in accordance with the condition of approval, but, over time neighborhood attendance at such meetings has significantly dropped; 8. That the proposal is to amend the time frame to hold such neighborhood meetings from at least quarterly to no less than bi- annually in an effort to have better attendance; and 9.

The primary reason for this request has been the lack of attendance at the meetings and a secondary reason is that the CHIP Center has now been in the neighborhood for 10 years. When CHIP first started the neighborhood meetings in 1996, the meetings were attended by individuals who owned commercial or apartment complex property in the area. There was little participation by people who lived in the area which was attributed to it being a area where most people rent instead of owning their place of residency. During the first year of the neighborhood meetings, officers were elected to run the meeting from those who attended. Meetings were poorly attended and subsequently, the meetings tapered off as individuals were no longer attending them. When CHIP was in the process of going before the CDB for the transitional housing complex, it was pointed out that the meetings were to be held, so again in 2003 the meetings restarted. During the first year of the meetings, some residents of the area came, but again the meetings were attended by commercial /apartment complex owners (2 commercial /business property owners and 3 apartment complex owners /managers), CHIP, St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, and City of Clearwater representatives. During the second and third years, the participation from residents fell completely off, but the meetings were beginning to take a more neighborhood focus on other areas than CHIP and homelessness. The idea was broached about turning the CHIP neighborhood meetings into a neighborhood association meeting, but we were informed that due the conditional use, the meetings needed to stay CHIP meetings. During the latter part of 2004, 2005, and through 2006 (to date) the neighborhood meetings have been poorly attended. There have been meetings where no neighborhood representatives have come or just one person from the neighborhood. The April 5, 2006 meeting had one neighborhood representative, 6 individuals from the City of Clearwater, 2 police officers, one person from Clearwater Housing Authority, and CHIP. The July 5, 2006 meeting had 3 police officers, a person from St. Vincent de Paul, representatives from the City and no neighborhood representatives, and the October 4, 2006 meeting consisted of 2 police officers, a representative from the City, the City of Clearwater's contracted consultant and CHIP. Again no individuals from the neighborhood. When there are people from the neighborhood, the meetings have, as stated above, focused on various items in the area, not just homelessness. We have talked about walk -ways, parks, code violations, gangs, public safety and other items. The City has been helpful in addressing these concerns and the neighborhood has appreciated the information and follow -up in these items. When it comes to concerns with the homeless population, CHIP has taken the steps that have been requested form the individuals in the meetings, such as increasing signs regarding walking on people's property, talking with homeless individuals about the routes they utilize in coming to the soup kitchen or CHIP, and providing general information to those at the meeting on what is happening at CHIP and in the city and county with homelessness. My telephone number and e-mail address has been provided to those who attend the meetings and if any concerns or problems arise prior to the next meeting people will call me. Only two individuals have made contact with CHIP through these means and usually their concerns can be addressed immediately. CHIP and the neighborhood do work together, but with the meetings being designed to address concerns regarding homeless situations in the area, bi- annual meetings may be better attended. 10/19/2006 Page 2 of 2 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Site Location: The site is 1.3 acres located on' the south side of Park Street and on the north side of Pierce Street, approximately 700 feet west of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The Society of St. Vincent DePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc, owns the site and CHIPS leases the land from them for $1 /year. The Park Street frontage of the site is presently developed with a soup kitchen, a residential shelter and a police substation. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location and is not at issue with this application. The site also includes property on Pierce Street that contains a single - family dwelling and a 24 -space parking lot used by both the soup kitchen and CHIP /police facilities. Commercial uses are located to the north fronting on Cleveland Street and to the east along Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are located generally south of Park Street and west of Evergreen Avenue. Site History: The Planning and Zoning Board conducted the first review and public hearing at its October 15, 1996 meeting. There were four major issues discussed including zoning intensity, property value impacts, crime and comprehensiveness of approach regarding shelter locations. The review of this case was met with controversy by the surrounding property owners. The Board continued the case to the November 5, 1996, where public comments were taken. On November 5, 1996, the former Planning and Zoning Board approved Conditional Use CU96 -46 with the following seven conditions (the status of the conditions are provided in italics): 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing. Construction bids for the project came back higher than the funding base, requiring the applicant to request additional funds from the City and County CDBG. Soil testing, excavation and filling took longer than anticipated. These delays affected the ability of the applicant to meet the deadlines imposed. Construction was not complete and the Certificate of Occupancy was not issued until late March 1998. By memorandum dated October 27, 1997, Scott Shuford (former Planning Director) determined that compliance had been achieved, through the applicant's good faith efforts to comply. 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license. Prior to March 20, 1998, Scott Shuford (prior Planning Director) met the project architect and the owner's representative to determine acceptable solutions to the lighting concerns. A dimmer street lamp was determined to be installed for the streetlight centered on the southern parking lot to minimize light projecting onto the dwellings on the south side of Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 2 Pierce Street. Lighting was added to the north side of the center, illuminating CHIP and the perimeter of the lot abutting commercial properties. Compliance appeared to have been achieved in 1998 in accordance with this condition. Planning staff is unaware of any complaints regarding lighting since the facility opened. 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas. The applicant was unable to provide a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street along the east side of the northern portion of the property. The sidewalk would have had to traverse a parcel owned by a third party, requiring an easement for the sidewalk. Attempts to obtain the easement were unsuccessful. Additionally, a sidewalk connection across the canal to the west was reviewed; however, it was determined cost prohibitive as a bridge structure would be needed. Alternately, in lieu of the interconnection directly north to Cleveland Street, a sidewalk was constructed along the west side of South Evergreen Avenue and the south side of Park Street. Signs were posted to direct pedestrians along the route, and were made available to property owners for posting on neighborhood fences. Scott Shuford (prior Planning Director) deemed this alternative in compliance with the condition of approval. Some of these signs have disappeared over the years and should be re- erected to emphasize the pedestrian routes to the CHIP facility. Additionally, CHIP, at their expense, erected a six-foot high fence and gate (at the driveway) along the south side of Dr. Jannelli and the Idle Spur properties (north side of Park Street) to further direct pedestrian traffic to the sidewalk connection on South Evergreen Avenue and Park Street. The gate is not always closed (and locked) to reinforce the desired pedestrian traffic flow. 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location. The residential shelter, police substation and other referral services are still located on the property. Compliance is achieved through the continued operation of the substation. 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing (11/5/96), after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use. Compliance with this condition did not occur in 1999. The new review will occur at the July 15, 2003, Community Development Board meeting. 6. Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organizations to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis. The applicant has submitted a list of contacts, meetings and articles since June 3, 1997. A Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) was created to give guidance and suggestions on how CHIP could work together with the neighborhood to benefit those individuals served by CHIP and still keep the neighborhood safe, clean and comf) rtable. On August 15, 1997, the NAC asked that meetings be scheduled as necessary, rather than on a regular basis. 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by city code shall be installed on both sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 3 Fences were installed to a height of six feet along the side and rear property lines and in other locations determined acceptable by Scott Shuford (prior Planning Director) to control access. Gates were installed to further limit access from the areas adjacent to the buildings at specific times of the day. The decision by the Planning and Zoning Board was appealed to the State Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH). A Final Order was issued on February 26, 1997, by the DOM denying the appeal and upholding the Board's decision. Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP): The mission of CHIP is to intervene in all issues that surround homelessness in Clearwater and Upper Pinellas County. CHIP coordinates services among a broad spectrum of service providers and community resources seeking develop a continuum of care enabling those who choose to move from homelessness to self - sufficiency. The program is multi- faceted and aimed at assisting persons to confront the barriers and reasons that have put them in the ranks of the homeless. As participants progress in the program, a more in depth plan is established to help him/her back into the mainstream of society. The CHIP center is a 24 -hour, seven day per week residential emergency shelter. It also operates a daytime outreach program from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily. During this time period, any homeless person can go to CHIP for a shower, do laundry, make a phone call, receive mail, get clothing, receive mental health counseling, have a sandwich, and get help with their problems. Case management and outside social service provider offices and a community- policing substation are included at the shelter site. There is a client kitchenette facility with refrigerator and microwave where shelter clients may prepare their own meals if they work odd hours. A conference and training room is available for Alcoholics Anonymous, resident meetings, and employment training. The average shelter stay is 16 days. Each person staying at the shelter must commit to participation in the Homeless Intervention Program — an intensive case management model. The case manager conducts an initial intake assessment, wherein the specific needs and goals of the client are established. These goals determine the length of stay for the client. If employment has not been secured at entry, the client must pledge to obtain full -time employment within seven days, or show reasonable efforts in doing so. After the client is employed, s/he establishes a budget including a personal savings plan. The client's continued eligibility is based on the client's compliance with his /her own established goals. Former Land Development Code Provisions: The Community Development Code was adopted on January 21, 1999. Section 1- 106.17, "Previous Approvals With Required Reviews," provides that the Community Development Board will conduct any reviews required under a condition of approval requiring further review. Section 1- 106.0 provides that conditions continue unless a new approval is obtained. Compliance with Condition #5, where a new conditional use would be reviewed, did not occur in 1999. Condition #5 implies a review of the residential shelter use based on the criteria set forth in the former Code Section 41.033. The City Attorney's office has determined that, given the transitional rules of the Community Development Code and that the Code does not address the criteria under which the new review would be considered, this new review will be based on the criteria of the former Code. Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 - Page 4 The applicable general standards for Conditional Use applications are discussed later in this report. They include: 1. The use complies with the land use plan. 2. The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this (former) development code. 3. The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in Division 3 of this (former) article. 4. The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and not detract from the public's convenience at the specific location. 5. The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. 6. The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The additional, specific criteria required by the former Code for this type of use include: 1. Public safety facilities may be allowed upon determination that the use complies with all he general standards. 2. Residential shelters may be allowed upon determination that the use complies with all of the general standards. Downtown Plan Update: The update of the Downtown Plan is scheduled for public hearing by the Community Development Board on July 15, 2003. The Downtown Plan has been expanded to include an area, called the East Gateway District, one of the character districts. The East Gateway area was targeted in 2002 as a Community Redevelopment "Expansion" Area, and the City Commission and Board of County Commissioners approved the CRA expansion in late 2002. This area has been experiencing rapid deterioration and decline. An underlying commercial constraint is the inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to the neighborhood. The East Gateway District is envisioned to continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and professional offices. Commercial and office uses should be concentrated along the Cleveland Street, Gulf -to -Bay Boulevard, Court Street and Missouri Avenue corridors. A key component of the development strategy for the East Gateway District is the consolidation of the existing CHIP facilities into a "campus." This consolidation will address the emergency needs of the downtown homeless, and negate any future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood. The existing CHIP facility is consistent with the Downtown Plan Update. Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless: The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless began in 1984 in an effort to support community agencies and organizations that serve the homeless in Pinellas County. A point -in -time survey was conducted in January 2003 finding 2,301 persons homeless, including 697 in Clearwater. The concept of a proposed North Pinellas County Centralized Facility to provide services to the homeless is embraced by the Coalition. A location has not yet been determined. This future North Pinellas Facility would provide a range of services, including shelter (emergency, transitional and permanent), food, personal hygiene, counseling, banking facilities, social services, employment center, educational classes, child care, inebriate care, mental health care, domestic violence care, spiritual care, identification documentation center, clothing store, dental and medical clinic and a transportation center. This future North Pinellas Facility would allow the County and communities to combine resources to address homeless issues and to pool financing. As part of this future Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 5 concept, a Downtown homeless strategy (supported by the Economic Development Department) is to address the long -term relocation of St. Vincent DePaul (soup kitchen and thrift store) to this Facility and support for the CHIP "campus." Trial Period Review: The original 1996 request was for a residential shelter in conjunction with a police substation to be developed at the western terminus of the site on Park Street. The shelter and police substation was constructed and opened on April 20, 1998. The shelter is a structured facility (one with rules) versus the soup kitchen (no rules). The soup kitchen (not part of this request or re- review) feeds approximately 200 individuals daily (some not homeless). Over the past year (June 1, 2002, to May 31, 2003), the CHIP Emergency Shelter (overnight accommodations) served over 1,500 unduplicated clients (1,101 adult males, 336 adult females and 63 children). These individuals have also participated in the CHIP program elements of counseling, goal planning, obtaining employment, budgeting, and accepting the responsibility to change their lives. Because CHIP is an emergency shelter that focuses on single individuals, the 52 families who had temporary emergency shelter at CHIP this past year were moved quickly into family shelters, transitional housing programs, Section 8 or Supportive Housing or reunited with family and/or relocated to other parts of the country. For the single individuals completing the shelter programs, there is a 93% success rate (i.e., obtaining housing and not returning to CHIP for 12 months). The CHIP Day Center is open everyday and has an average of 75 individuals utilizing services daily throughout the year with peaks of over 100 individuals daily during certain seasonal periods. Over the past year (June 1, 2002, to May 31, 2003), 3,256 individuals (2579 adult males, 654 adult females and 23 children) have utilized the services provided through the CHIP Day Center, which aims to make sure the homeless in our community know where they can meet with counselors, take care of immediate physical needs, and start making life changes that lead to getting off the streets. Many homeless individuals come into the Day Center more than once; in fact, it may take several sessions for a homeless individual to start making the choices and changes that will lead to self sufficiency. During this fiscal year, 892 new (i.e., not previously seen) homeless adult individuals came through the CHIP Day Center doors. The police substation has been manned by an average of eight officers, mostly on bicycle patrol of the neighborhood. Officers respond to calls for service as well as initiating activities by patrolling the neighborhood. The surrounding area can be characterized as a mixed -use area. Commercial uses are mostly located along Cleveland Street and Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are generally located to areas south of this property. The residential shelter and police substation were purposefully located adjacent to the soup kitchen, which is a permitted use, as being compatible uses. While there are businesses close by that sell alcoholic beverages, and many homeless individuals are abusers of alcohol, there are probably no locations within the City of Clearwater for a homeless shelter where alcoholic beverages could not be conveniently purchased. Exceptions would be within residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to purchase alcoholic beverages, but a homeless shelter would not be permitted there. Noise has not appeared to be a factor in the neighborhood. Minimal traffic is attributable to the residential shelter. Pedestrian traffic has been directed to sidewalks constructed along Evergreen and Park Street, augmented by signage, to reduce pedestrian traffic in the adjacent residential areas. Site lighting restrictions and the methods to control lighting found acceptable in 1998 are still valid. The location of the police substation, along with the social services being provided, was a requirement of the original approval. The police substation still exists on the property. As such, the residential shelter was found to be a compatible use in 1996 and there is no evidence that the use is not compatible today. Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 6 The analysis of the trial period includes a review of the residential shelter and police substation, based on criteria set forth in the former Code Section 41.033 and the conditions of approval imposed by the Planning and Zoning Board at its November 5, 1996, meeting, including a review of surrounding property values and crime statistics, as detailed below. Based on this analysis, the overall impact of the CHIP residential shelter and the police substation on the surrounding mixed - use area appears not to be non - detrimental. As noted in the Final Order from the State Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) issued February 26, 1997, most of the complaints of adverse impact are from the operation of the soup kitchen, which is not being debated here. Based on updated crime statistics and property values, the existence of the CHIP shelter and police substation (over the years they have been open) did not have a positive or negative impact on the surrounding area. Surrounding Area Property Values: As part of the staff report in 1996 to the Planning and Zoning Board for this request, information from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office was provided showing property valuation history for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property over a five year time period. The study showed no specific trend analysis. Of the 287 properties studied, 35 properties' valuations stayed the same, 141 properties' valuations increased and 111 properties' valuations decreased. The staff report also noted that a sampling of the largest declines indicated that only 14 properties accounted for 82 percent of the decreases in property values of the group of 111 (including City - owned property, the GTE site and the old Morrison's Cafeteria site). As part of this re- review, Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office information was again surveyed for all properties within 1,000 feet for the years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The just value of commercial properties, totaling 107 properties, showed that 11 properties' valuations stayed the same, 52 properties' valuations increased and 44 properties' valuations decreased. Of the 44 properties that decreased in value, 18 properties were commercial or professional condominiums and 16 were condominium conversions. Only 10 properties were non - condominiums. Overall, the just value of commercial properties increased from $21,863,000 to $23,889,50, or a 9.27 percent increase in valuation. The just value of residential properties, totaling 263 properties, showed that five properties' valuations stayed the same, 242 properties' valuations increased and 16 properties' valuations decreased. The just value of residential properties increased from $18,589,800 to $24,371,400, or a 31.1 percent increase. The Final Order from DOAH in February 1997 found that adverse impacts alleged were attributable to the operation of the soup kitchen, which has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The Final Order noted that the evidence showed, on the average within 1,000 feet of the subject property, there to be no trend of decreasing property value as a result of the soup kitchen at that time. The Final Order also noted that the presence of the soup kitchen, and those that use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values. A similar determination could be assumed in 2003. Crime Statistics: Crime statistics were reviewed within the neighborhood surrounding the CHIP shelter and for Clearwater. on a Citywide basis. The surrounding neighborhood reviewed is bounded by Cleveland Street on the north, Franklin Street on the south, South Hillcrest Avenue on the east and South Frederica and Waverly Way on the west. Crime statistics included Part I offences, Part II offences, a combined total of Part I and Part 11 offences and Other Events. These statistics are compiled for the years from 1997 through 2002. The CHIP center and police substation opened in April of 1998. Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 7 Part I offenses (as defined by the FBI), include aggravated assault, aggravated stalking, arson, burglary/breaking & entering, forcible sex offenses, homicide, kidnap /abduction, larceny /theft, motor vehicle theft, robbery and simple assault. The CHIP area comprises a small percentage of the overall Part I offenses within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented just 1.03% of all Part I offenses in the City. The Part I offenses in the CHIP area increased a small amount to an average of 1.07% of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002. Part II offenses include bribery, counterfeit /forgery, destruction/vandalism, driving under the influence (DUI), drugs /narcotics offenses, embezzlement, extortion/blackmail, fraud, gambling, intimidation, liquor law violations, non - forcible sex offenses, prostitution, simple stalking, stolen property and weapons violations. The CHIP area also comprises a small percentage of the overall Part II offenses within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented 2.31 percent of all Part II offenses in the City. The Part II offenses in the CHIP area decreased to an average of just 1.7 percent of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002. A combined total of all Part I and Part II crimes within the CHIP area shows a small percentage of the total crimes within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented a total percentage of only 1.42 percent of all crimes committed in the City. The Part I and Part II crimes committed in the CHIP area, decreased to an average of 1.3 percent of the City's total crimes for the years from 1998 to 2002. The Police Department also keeps statistics on "Other Events ", which are generally calls for service (not crimes), which include: 911 hang up, abandoned vehicle, assist citizen, assist other agency, Baker Act, civil matter, disturbance, domestic — verbal, false calls to 911, field contact report, harassing phone calls, injured person, juvenile complaint, Marchman Act, medical assist /transport, missing adult, natural /unattended death, neighbor problem, property — disposal/destruction, found property, lost property, public accident, runaway /recovered runaway, suspicious incident/person, traffic incident, trespass warning and welfare check. Often times, subsequent to dispatch and investigation of reported crimes by police officers, "reported" crimes turn out not to be crimes and fall into the category of "Other Events." Some of these "events" are officer - initiated calls for service (all contacts or activities are reported). From its inception on April 20, 1998, the CHIP Shelter has also incorporated a fully staffed community policing substation consisting, on average, of a staffing level with one sergeant and eight officers. These officers patrol predominantly on bicycles, with a mandate for proactive contact with residents, citizens, suspects, and suspicious behavior within the defined geographical area. Proactive patrol of this nature generates a significant increase in officer - initiated activities, calls for police service and the investigation of crime and arrests. For Other Events, the CHIP area represented a very small percentage of all calls within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented just 0.68 percent of calls within the City. The "Other" calls within the CHIP area increased a small amount to an average of 0.81 percent of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002. Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no outstanding enforcement issues associated with this site being handled by the Planning, Building or Community Response Team (CRT) Departments. A complaint about transients hanging around on private property was filed with CRT on May 7, 2003, which was referred to the Police Department. Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 8 CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL General Standards (former Code Section 41.033): 1. The use complies with the land use plan. The property, in 1996 and still today, carries two land use classifications: Commercial General on the northern portion abutting Park Street and Residential Medium on the southern portion abutting Pierce Street. The residential shelter and police substation uses continue to comply with the land use plan classifications. Under the current Code, in the Commercial District, a governmental use (police substation) is a permitted use and a residential shelter must be processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project (it is not listed as a permitted use). 2. The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code. The staff report in 1996 detailed that the southern 0.472 -acre portion of the overall property (then zoned RM -12) would allow for a maximum of six dwelling units. It is developed with one dwelling and used as a caretaker residence. The northern 0.832 -acre portion of the property (formerly zoned Commercial General District) provided for a mixed -use formula of a maximum floor area ratio of 0.4 and density of 24 units per acre. The 2,260 square feet of non - residential space for the police substation and offices for the residential shelter is less than the maximum allowable of 2,881 square feet. The development as approved and constructed complies with the dimensional provisions of the Code. 3. The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. Conditional uses had to comply with the General Standards of Section 41.052 and the supplementary standards for the Public Safety Facilities and Residential Shelters contained in Section 41.053. a) The use shall comply with the land use plan and all applicable terms contained in this development code, the building code, and this Code of Ordinances. The uses complied with the land use plan and the Land Development Code regulations at the time of development in 1997 -1998 and still today. The building was constructed under BCP1997- 080714, which received a Certificate of Occupancy on April 17, 1998. An occupational license was issued for the CHIP social service agency outreach and shelter on April 17, 1998, and has been renewed annually. b) Acceptable access to and egress from the site shall be provided in a manner and location which ensure optimum vehicle maneuverability and vehicular and pedestrian safety. The number of ingress and Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 9 egress drives shall be the minimum necessary to provide reasonable access to the site. There is one existing driveway on Park Street for the soup kitchen. Park Street was redesigned with a cul -de -sac within which a driveway was created, as part of the conditional use application and associated site plan. Two driveways, were added onto Pierce Street for the parking lot. The number of driveways constructed or retained was the minimum necessary for appropriate access to the different areas of the site, recognizing frontages on two parallel streets. These driveways appear to be adequate to provide access to the three parking areas for both the police substation and residential shelter, and also the soup kitchen. c) Noise generated from the use shall not unreasonably diminish the use, enjoyment or value of surrounding properties. Noise was not anticipated to be a factor in 1996 with the proposed police substation and residential shelter uses. Staff is unaware of any complaints related to noise generated by the police substation or the residential shelter. The shelter has a 9:00 p.m. weekday and 10:00 p.m. weekend and holiday curfew (or report-in time) for clients. d) The direction and glare of lights from both motor vehicles and illuminating fixtures on the site shall not adversely affect the use, enjoyment or value of surrounding properties. As conditionally approved and implemented, a dimmer street lamp was installed for the street light centered on the southern parking lot to minimize light projecting onto the dwellings on the south side of Pierce Street. Lighting was added to the north side of the center, illuminating CHIP and the perimeter of the lot abutting commercial properties. Staff is unaware of any lighting complaints since the opening of the facility in 1998. e) Sufficient landscaping and screening shall be provided to diminish noise, reduce glare and buffer high activity areas and objectionable views, including but not limited to trash disposal facilities, such that the use will not adversely affect the use, enjoyment or value of surrounding properties. Landscaping shown on the approved site plan was installed and has been maintained in accordance with those plans. The trash disposal facilities are enclosed by a six feet high wood fence. f) Sufficient area shall be afforded for parking in accord with section 42.34. Parking required for the residential shelter and police substation uses totals 23 spaces, based on the site plan submitted. A total of 40 spaces are provided in three parking areas. Three parking spaces on the east side Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 10 of the eastern driveway on Park Street have been field modified from a 90- degree design to angled parking. This creates insufficient drive aisle width for the handicap parking space on the west side of the driveway. The wheel stops for these three spaces should be relocated to the approved locations to comply with the original approved site plan. g) The use shall be consistent with the community character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard (whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of the properties surrounding the conditional use; whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; and whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type of volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses). The shelter and police substation are located in an urban environment of mixed uses. The facilities, when constructed, provided landscaping in accordance with Code provisions. Stormwater facilities were constructed in conjunction with facility in 1997. Properties (residential and commercial) within 1,000 feet of the subject property were surveyed in 1996 and again in 2003 regarding property valuations. It does not appear that there are substantial detrimental effects on surrounding property values. The Final Order from the State Division of Administrative Hearings in February 1997 found that adverse impacts alleged were attributable to the operation of the soup kitchen, which has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. A similar determination could be assumed in 2003. The existing building and hours of operation are compatible with surrounding uses and developments. Minimal vehicular traffic is attributable to the shelter and police substation. A sidewalk was constructed along the west side of South Evergreen Avenue and the south side of Park Street and a fence was installed along the north side of Park Street to direct pedestrian traffic to the sidewalk connection. Supplemental Standards for Public Safety Facilities and Residential Shelters (Former Code Section 41.053): h) Public safety facilities — may be allowed upon determination that the use complies with all of the general standards a -g above. The police substation was constructed on the portion of the property zoned Commercial District. The conditional use application determining compliance with the general standards was approved on November 5, Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 11 1996. Based on this re- review, the police substation continues to meet these general standards. i) Residential shelters — may be allowed upon determination that the use complies with all of the general standards a -g above. The residential shelter was constructed on that portion of the property zoned Commercial District. The conditional use determining compliance with the general standards was approved on November 5, 1996. Based on this re- review, the residential shelter appears to still meet these general standards. 4. The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and not detract from the public's convenience at the specific location. The shelter is located in an urban environment of mixed uses (residential and nonresidential). The shelter has a 9:00 p.m. weekday and 10:00 p.m. weekend and holiday curfew (or report -in time) for clients, which is consistent and compatible with hours of operation of surrounding uses. Vehicular traffic to the shelter is minimal, as most clients do not drive. Most clients either walk to work or use public transportation. 5. The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. As part of the staff report in 1996 to the Planning and Zoning Board for this request, information from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office was provided showing property valuation history for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property over a five year time period. The study showed no specific trend analysis. Of the 287 properties studied, 35 properties' valuations stayed the same, 141 properties' valuations increased and 111 properties' valuations decreased. The staff report also noted that a sampling of the largest declines indicated that only 14 properties accounted for 82 percent of the decreases in property values of the group of 111 (including City -owned property, the GTE site and the old Morrison's Cafeteria site). As part of this re- review, Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office information was again surveyed for all properties within 1,000 feet for the years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Overall, the just value of commercial properties increased from $21,863,000 to $23,889,50, or a 9.27 percent increase in valuation. The overall just value of residential properties increased from $18,589,800 to $24,371,400, or a 3 1. 1 percent increase. The Final Order from the State Division of Administrative Hearings in February 1997 found that adverse impacts alleged were attributable to the operation of the soup kitchen, which has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The Final Order noted that the evidence showed, on the average within 1,000 feet of the subject property, there to be no trend of decreasing property value as a result of the soup kitchen at that time. The Final Order also noted that the presence Staff Report — Community Development Board — July 15, 2003 — Case CU96 -46 — Page 12 of the soup kitchen, and those that use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values. A similar determination could be assumed in 2003. 6. The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The surrounding area can be characterized as a mixed -use area. Commercial uses are mostly located along Cleveland Street and Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Residential uses are generally located to areas south of this property. The residential shelter and police substation were purposefully located adjacent to the soup kitchen, which is a permitted use, as being compatible uses. While there are businesses close by that sell alcoholic beverages, and many homeless individuals are abusers of alcohol, there are probably no locations within the City of Clearwater for a homeless shelter where alcoholic beverages could not be conveniently purchased. Exceptions would be within residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to purchase alcoholic beverages, but a homeless shelter would not be permitted there. Noise has not appeared to be a factor in the neighborhood. Minimal traffic is attributable to the residential shelter. Pedestrian traffic has been directed to sidewalks constructed along Evergreen and Park Street, augmented by signage, to reduce pedestrian traffic in the adjacent residential areas. Site lighting restrictions and the methods to control lighting found acceptable in 1998 are still valid. The location of the police substation, along with the social services being provided, was a requirement of the original approval. The police substation still exists on the property. As such, the residential shelter was found to be a compatible use in 1996 and there is no evidence that the use is not compatible today. Crime statistics were reviewed within the neighborhood surrounding the CHIP shelter and for Clearwater on a Citywide basis for the years from 1997 through 2002. (The CHIP center and police substation opened in April of 1998.) Part I offenses (including aggravated assault, aggravated stalking, arson, burglary/breaking & entering, forcible sex offenses, homicide, kidnap /abduction, larceny /theft, motor vehicle theft, robbery and simple assault) in the CHIP area increased a small amount to an average of 1.07 percent of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002. Part II offenses (including bribery, counterfeit /forgery, destruction/vandalism, DUI, etc.) in the CHIP area decreased to an average of just 1.7 percent of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002. A combined total of all Part I and Part II crimes within the CHIP area shows a small percentage of the total crimes within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented a total percentage of only 1.42 percent of all crimes committed in the City. The Part I and Part II crimes committed in the CHIP area, saw a decrease to an average of 1.3 percent of the City's total crimes for the years from 1998 to 2002. For "Other Events ", which are generally calls for service (not crimes), the CHIP area represented a very small percentage of all calls within the City. In 1997, the CHIP area represented just 0.68 percent of calls within the City. The "Other" calls within the CHIP area increased a small amount to an average of 0.81 percent of the City's total for the years from 1998 to 2002.

CRIME STATISTICS In examination of the CHIP Shelter as a causation of crime, the police department conducted an analysis of reported crime and calls for police service within the boundaries of the neighborhood surrounding the CHIP Shelter (defined by the Planning Department) as: • Cleveland Street on the north • Franklin Street on the south • South Hillcrest Avenue on the east • South Frederica and Waverly Way on the west The actual address for the CHIP Shelter is 1339 Park Street and it opened on April 20, 1998. For comparison purposes, examination of crime included an analysis of Part I, Part II, Part I and Part II combined, and Other Events (generally calls for service) for both Clearwater citywide, and the CHIP o` neighborhood for the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. It is noted that in the year 2000, the police department migrated to a newer, more accurate, reporting system that enabled the collection of a greater volume of data than previously existed, and required officers to document activity that was not required under the old reporting system. 1 By definition, Part I offenses, (as defined by the FBI, and as reported by the department to the FBI) generally consist of the most serious crimes and include the following: Aggravated Assault Kidnap/ Abduction Aggravated Stalking Larceny /Theft Arson Motor Vehicle Theft Burglary/ Breaking & Entering Robbery Forcible Sex Offenses Simple Assault Homicide Part II offenses, (as defined by the FBI, and as reported to the FBI by the department) are generally the less serious types of crime and include: Bribery Gambling Counterfeit/ Forgery Intimidation Destruction/ Vandalism Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Drugs /Narcotics Offenses Embezzlement Extortion/ Blackmail Fraud Liquor Law Violations Non - forcible Sex Offenses Prostitution Simple Stalking Stolen Property Weapons Violations "Other Events," are generally calls for police service and not crimes. Often times, subsequent to dispatch and investigation of reported crimes 2 by police officers, "reported" crimes turn out not to be crimes and fall in the category of "Other Events." Additionally, calls for service reported as a serious crime may often turn out to be a lesser crime, or not a crime at all. In short, there is a significant difference between "calls for service" and "crimes." From its inception on April 20, 1998, the CHIP Shelter has also incorporated a fully staffed community policing substation consisting, on average, of a staffing level with one (1) sergeant and eight (8) officers. These officers patrol predominantly on bicycles, with a mandate for proactive contact with residents, citizens, suspects, and suspicious behavior within the defined geographical area. Proactive patrol of this nature generates a significant increase in officer initiated activities, calls for police service, and the investigation of crime and arrests. Examination of the crime categories of Part I, Part II, (singular and combined) and the category of "Other Events," the following highlights of crime patterns and calls for service data reflect that: • The overall change ( + / -) of crime in the CHIP area is minimal. • Part II crimes, most often associated with the homeless population, from 1997 — 2002, increased citywide by 11% while in the CHIP area they increased less than 1 %. 3 • Final analysis would indicate that the CHIP Shelter did not have a positive or negative impact on crime and /or calls for service in the designated geographical area within the seven (7) year reporting period.

Box 6161 CyEApW.%TtR, FL 33758 FAx (727) 791-0366 Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed the Just Value History prepared by the otfice of Jim Smith, Property Appraiser of Pinellas County. This report was separated into two sections, commercial and residential properties. Per your request I have compared the 1996 Just Value to the 2002 Just Value. A recap of the repon is as follows; Commercial Total properties considered 107 Properties that Increased in value 52 Properties that stayed the same 11 Prooerties that decreased in value 44 Of the 44 properties that decreased, 18 were commercial or professional condominiums (use codes 234 and 238) and 16 were condominium conversions (use code 236). Hence, only 10 commercial properties that were not condominiums decreased In Just Value. Overall the Just Value increased from $21,863,000 to $2309,500 or a 9.27% increase. Res'den' I Total Properties considered 263 Properties that increased in value 242 Properties that stayed the same 5 Properties that decreased in value 16 The Just Value in the residential section from 1996 to 2002 increased from $18,589,809 to $24,371,400 or a 31.10% increase.

Excellent access and opportunities for significant lot consolidation enhance the District's redevelopment opportunities. Development Patterns Office development within the Town Lake Business Park District shall be campus -like in nature. Traditional setbacks, significant landscaping and adequate parking should characterize redevelopment in this area. Commercial uses are encouraged to locate within the office park and/or office building to provide easy access to their customers and reduce the need for external vehicle trips. Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas stations, fast food restaurants with drive - through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors). Intensi Floor Area Ratio- 1.0 FAR Density — 30 dwelling units per acre Height —50' 6. East Gateway District (175 acres) Existing Character The terminology "East Gateway" is associated with a geographic node radiating from the intersection of Gulf to Bay with Cleveland Avenue to Missouri Avenue, and from Drew Street to Court Street. This area was recently characterized as experiencing rapid deterioration and decline. With the realignment of the Memorial Causeway Bridge in mid -2004, and the associated loss of thousands of daily through traffic along Cleveland Street, this district runs the risk of seeing its residential and retail base erode. East Gateway is characterized by a mixed land use pattern of predominantly owner - occupied single - family residential, interspersed with pockets of poorly- maintained rental properties and strip commercial, as well as relatively well- maintained small professional offices along Court Street. The Gateway area was targeted in 2002 as a Community CADocuments and Settings\rmelo \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLK37 \Character Districts Revised Per CC at Jan 27 meeting.doc Revised January 31, 2003 Redevelopment "Expansion" Area, and the City Commission and Board of County Commissioners approved the CRA expansion in late 2002. The underlying constraints of the East Gateway District can be noted as follows: Residential: • Lots with deteriorating surface conditions • Absence of landscaping and buffers from adjacent rights -of -ways • Inappropriate placement of housing within commercial corridors • Structures with multiple code violations • Outside storage with no screening • Absence of on -site management controls within rental complexes • Inappropriate placement of waste containers • Intrusion of drug related crime activities into residential neighborhoods • Structurally unsound homes impacting the safety and welfare of residents • Bland architectural detailing Commercial: • A predominate tenant mix which does not serve the daily needs of area residents • Inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to the neighborhood • Strip commercial with no landscaping, appropriate parking, signage or quality architectural detailing • Existing structure such as motels being converted to transient multiple housing or retail storefronts • Blighted building conditions fraught with code violations • Inadequate lot square footage which negates an ability to accommodate a modern retail or personal service structure • Obsolete, deteriorating and non - complying signs • Inappropriate land uses and zoning districts • Multiple lot ownership making potential lot assemblage difficult • Non - functioning off - street parking and turning movements • Inappropriate use of vacant lots for parking • Lack of separation between right -of -way and parking areas • Deteriorating or non - existent site and right -of -way infrastructure, including paving, sidewalks, and landscaping • A pervasive negative "image" M CADocuments and Settings \rmelo \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLK37 \Character Districts Revised Per CC at Jan 27 meeting.doc Revised January 31, 2003 District Vision Uses It is envisioned that the East Gateway will continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and professional offices. Commercial and office uses should be concentrated along the Cleveland/Gulf to Bay, Court Street, and Missouri Avenue corridors. The area northeast of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and north of Cleveland Street should be maintained as a primarily low density, low -rise residential neighborhood. The area southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and south of Cleveland Street is appropriate for medium density multi - family residential and office environment. Infill residential is encouraged in the entire district. A key component of this development strategy is the consolidation of the existing Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) facilities into a "campus" within the East Gateway District combined with the relocation of the day labor offices into this complex. This consolidation will address the emergency needs of the downtown homeless, and negate any future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood. Function With the opening of the new Memorial Bridge in late 2003 and the new function of the Court/Chestnut roads serving as the entry/exit corridors for the Bridge, the East Gateway District becomes the new entryway to downtown. This major traffic circulation change offers opportunities to create a gateway for residents and tourists whose destination is Downtown. The main corridor of Cleveland Street/Gulf to Bay needs to reflect this gateway function with attractive streetscape and landscaping elements along with appropriate wayfinding signage. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening this commercial /office corridor and stabilizing the residential base. Development Patterns The existing residential neighborhoods should retain their scale and development patterns and any infill development in this area should reflect the existing low -rise pattern. New multi - family development should be developed at a medium density and scale and provide variety in housing types and pricing. It is envisioned that new commercial development should provide employment opportunities for the District's residents as well as serve the daily commercial and personal service needs of the neighborhood. Commercial and office development should be redeveloped at a medium scale; consolidation of small obsolete development parcels/buildings are encouraged to create an adequate lot size for modern development standards.

I can change, edit, delete as you deem appropriate. Un CRIME STATISTICS.doc CRIME STATISTICS In examination of the CHIP Shelter as a causation of crime, the police department conducted an analysis of reported crime and calls for police service within the boundaries of the neighborhood surrounding the CHIP Shelter (defined by the Planning Department) as: • Cleveland Street on the north • Franklin Street on the south • South Hillcrest Avenue on the east • South Frederica and Waverly Way on the west The actual address for the CHIP Shelter is 1339 Park Street and it opened on April 20, 1998. For comparison purposes, examination of crime included an analysis of Part I, Part II, Part I and Part II combined, and Other Events (generally calls for service) for both Clearwater citywide, and the CHIP for the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. It is noted that in the year 2000, the police department migrated to a newer, more accurate, reporting system that enabled the collection of a greater volume of data then previously existed, and required officers to document activity that was not required under the old reporting system. f ,M By definition, Part I offenses, (as defined by the FBI, and as reported by the department to the FBI) generally consist of the most serious crimes and include the following: Aggravated Assault Kidnap/ Abduction Aggravated Stalking Larceny /Theft Arson Motor Vehicle Theft Burglary/ Breaking 8v EnteringRobbery Forcible Sex Offenses Simple Assault Homicide Part II offences, (as defined by the FBI, and as reported to the FBI by the department) are generally the less serious types of crime and include: Bribery Gambling Counterfeit/ Forgery Intimidation Destruction/ Vandalism Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Drugs /Narcotics Offenses Embezzlement Extortion/ Blackmail Liquor Law Violations Non - forcible Sex Offenses Prostitution Simple Stalking Stolen Property Fraud Weapons Violations "Other Events," are generally calls for police service and not reported crimes. Often times, subsequent to dispatch and investigation of Xse, C reported crimes by police officers, reported crimes turn out not to be crimes and fall in to the category of "Other Events." Additionally, oftentimes calls for service reported as a serious crime turn out to be a lesser crime, or not a crime at all. In short, there is a significant difference between "calls for service" and reported crime. From its inception on April 20, 1998, the CHIP Shelter has also incorporated a fully staffed community policing substation consisting on average, a staffing level of one (1) sergeant and eight (8) officers. These officers patrol predominantly on bicycles, with a mandate for proactive contact with residents, citizens, suspects, and suspicious behavior within the defined geographical area. Proactive patrol of this nature generates a significant increase in officer initiated activities, calls for police service, and the investigation of crime and arrests. Examination of the crime categories of Part I, Part II (singular and combined) and the category of "Other Events," the following highlights of crime patterns and calls for service data reflect that: • The overall change ( + / -) of crime in the CHIP area is minimal. • Part II crimes, most often associated with the homeless population, from 1997 - 2002, increased citywide by 11% while in the CHIP area they increased less than 1 %. • 3 • Final analysis would indicate that the CHIP Shelter did not have a positive or negative impact on crime and /or calls for service in the designated geographical area within the seven (7) year reporting period.

Bickerstaffe Bernie Baron Frank Kunnen Douglas Hilkert Scott Shuford Leslie Dougall -Sides Sandra Glatthorn Lou Hilton Gwen Legters Acting Chair Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Board Member Central Permitting Director Assistant City Attorney Central Permitting Manager Senior Planner Board Reporter To provide continuity, items are listed in agenda order although not necessarily discussed in that order. The meeting was called to order by the Acting Chair at 2:00 p.m. in City Hall, followed by the Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. Meeting procedures and the appeal process were outlined. New member Douglas Hilkert was welcomed to the board. Minutes Approval -- October 15, 1996 Member Merriam requested clarification in the second paragraph on page four. Staff corrected the third sentence to read, "... the police substation will not be built without the shelter." Central Permitting Director Shuford requested minutes review regarding conditions of approval in case CU 96 -53, for outdoor displays at Drew Street and US 19. He said Dr. Jannelli requested clarification whether the board intended to allow vehicles sales, and whether the area of outdoor displays was to be restricted to the area under the canopy. Staff had understood approval was subject to the conditions as listed in the staff report, including the prohibition of vehicle sales. He stressed staff has no effective means of evaluating the request without an accurate site plan. Discussion ensued whether the minutes accurately reflect the board's intent. By a show of hands, five members indicated they understood vehicle sales are not allowed without a new conditional use application to the Planning and Zoning Board. Two members who were not present at the last meeting abstained from voting. Member Merriam moved to approve the minutes as submitted, subject to correction of the typographical error on page 4. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. mpz11 a.96 1 11/05/96 NOT Alri�lfrit4t: C. Conditional Uses C1. (Cont. from 101151961 Society of St Vincent de Paul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc (St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen and proposed CHIP Shelter) to permit (1) public safety facility - police substation; and (2) residential shelter at 1339, 1341 & 1345 Park St., Brookwood Terrace, Blk 6, part of Lots 1, 2, 9 -13 & N %2 vacated street and Tagerelli Sub, Blk 2, Lots 2 -4 and Overbrook Sub, Blk 6, Lots 7 -10 & unplatted land to the South, zoned CG (General Commercial). CU 96-46 This item was continued to investigate an alternate location and obtain more information regarding density calculations. Mr. Shuford said staff researched four major issues raised at the last meeting, summarizing the results, as follows: 1) Zoning Intensity -- The proposed mixed use of police substation and residential shelter saturates the allowable density so no future expansion is possible; 2) Property Value Impacts -- A five year history of property values for properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property, showed no clear indication the soup kitchen has had a significant negative impact; 3) Crime -- Research showed a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of homeless centers in Orlando and Jacksonville; and 4) Comprehensiveness of Approach -- Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of locating shelters throughout the County to avoid overburdening any specific area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. Due to the controversial nature of the case, a question was raised whether members absent from the previous hearing may vote on the request today. Ms. Dougall -Sides responded absence would not prohibit a member from voting as long as the member was provided opportunity to review the minutes and background information packet. Because the public portion of the hearing had been closed prior to continuance, a question was raised whether the board wished to reopen the hearing to public comment, or receive the requested responses from the applicant alone. Member Mazur moved to reopen Case CU 96 -46 for public comments. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein spoke on behalf of the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project. He expressed concern regarding two issues he wished to note for the record. He stated Member Bickerstaffe's comment at the previous hearing, referring to homeless persons as muscle -bound gorillas, clearly shows a bias. Chief Klein submitted a document reflecting Mr. Bickerstaffe's involvement as a consultant to Clearwater Flying Corporation, owned by Dr. Gilbert Jannelli, one of the property owners contesting the conditional use application. Chief Klein felt such an association constitutes an ethical conflict of interest and asked Mr. Bickerstaffe to recuse himself from voting on this issue. Ms. Dougall -Sides indicated, based on the facts heard today, she did not consider this matter a legal conflict of interest under Florida Statutes. Member Bickerstaffe responded his comments were directed at seasonal street people who choose not to work, but travel here every winter to "vacation" in Florida's mild weather at taxpayers' expense. He said he intended no antagonism and felt the community should help full time residents who need assistance. He declined to recuse himself from voting. mpz11 a.96 2 11/05/96 Y NOT PRI�u�o Referring to the document submitted with the staff report, Chief Klein reiterated the issues and conclusions as reported by Mr. Shuford. He said downtown Clearwater has experienced a significant decrease in crime due to measures taken at the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen. CHIP has worked with Pinellas County comprehensively for three years to follow a planned five -year strategy to locate shelters throughout the County. He stressed the proposed shelter will be strictly tailored to provide homeless intervention. The proposal meets or exceeds the standards for approval of a conditional use and is a good start toward improving conditions existing around the soup kitchen. This shelter is the planned replacement for a temporary shelter that has operated without complaint since it was approved by the board. He asked the board to focus on the need for the shelter. Chief Klein responded to questions and discussion ensued regarding a single room occupancy program, funding for the proposed police substation, and how to ensure the substation will remain open once the three -year COPS grant expires. Discussion continued regarding shelter tenancy requirements, alternatives when capacity is reached, and the proposed client registration process. In response to a question, Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets. Discussion ensued regarding history of Chief Klein's involvement with the task force created to study this issue. Concern was expressed the proposal leaves no room for expansion to accommodate a clearly growing need. The applicant was strongly urged to consider another location where the surrounding uses and the zoning are more compatible with a homeless shelter. Brief discussion ensued regarding reasons for the crime rate decrease on a neighboring convenience store property. One person spoke in support of the application, stating the focus has been steered away from the real issue. The shelter is not the problem, but the solution to the problem caused by soup kitchen visitors. Putting a shelter a mile or two away from the soup kitchen will not solve existing problems in the residential and commercial areas. One letter from the soup kitchen President was submitted in support, citing additional details about the proposed shelter. Fifteen persons spoke in opposition to the application, reiterating many concerns expressed at the previous hearing regarding the adverse impact on the business and residential community. Additional concerns were cited as follows: 1) a financial institution has delayed financing a local property purchase pending the decision in this case; 2) fears of life endangerment; 3) difficulty selling tourist related businesses; 4) business vehicle trespass, vandalism, and fears of robbery; 5) transients bypassing the registration process; 6) trespassers, illegal activities, and personal belongings hidden in bushes on nearby residential properties endangering the health safety and welfare of neighborhood children; 7) request for more complete statistics regarding declining property values and numbers of people fed during the winter; 8) an organizational effort may be underway to relocate the soup kitchen; 9) request for a three year trial period, if approved, to ensure the police substation remains after grant funding runs out; 10) sufficient appropriate use exists on the subject and surrounding properties; 11) frequency and numbers of soup kitchen meals served to more than 180 people daily; 12) actual versus assessed property values; 13) property owners cease to report crimes experienced frequently and /or repeatedly over a long period of time, affecting accuracy of the police calls reports; 14) problems have quadrupled since the soup kitchen opened; 15) more homeless people will come to the area if they know they may find a place to mpz 11 a.96 3 11/05/96 ku l k sleep; 16) insufficient parking, vehicular and pedestrian access; 17) many street people choose to be homeless and are creating another welfare generation; 18) proposed shelter zoning and the inappropriate location next door to a bar; 19) Chief Klein may have a financial conflict of interest because he stands to get more police officers; 20) seniors must board up windows to feel safe in their homes and are not able to sell their businesses and retire; and 21) a central approach would better contain the objectionable behaviors. Nine letters, two handouts and two petitions containing approximately 38 signatures, were submitted in opposition to the request, restating the above concerns. One photograph was submitted showing debris, bedding, and waste on a sidewalk outside a commercial property. An Associated Press newspaper article reported Justice Department grants funded many additional Florida police officers who only appear on paper. One supporter spoke in rebuttal, stating not all of the 180 people fed daily at the soup kitchen are homeless. He reiterated the shelter and the police substation are the solutions, not the problems. Six objectors spoke in rebuttal, restating many earlier concerns plus the following: 1) problems persist despite frequent police visits to the soup kitchen; 2) The location is not appropriate and 48 beds are not sufficient; 3) Reverse discrimination is being practiced against the taxpayers; and 4) funding is not in place to continue the operation after the first three years. Chief Klein issued a final statement and responded to questions from the board. He felt a three year trial period is an acceptable compromise. He said, if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed. He reiterated the property owners have met or exceeded every standard for approval for conditional use of their land. Regarding proof the use will not be detrimental to assessed values, he noted no negative pattern exists, but he cannot predict the future. He discussed the crime rate, hours of operation, and shelter supervision. Police officers will staff the shelter during peak hours, and cover the streets where they are needed the rest of the time. He asked the board not to focus on what can be accomplished by six new officers, but how they will supplement the policing community on duty around the clock. In response to questions it was indicated a full review of the case would occur at the end of any trial period. Chief Klein said the three years' Federal funding is not contingent upon the officers, but is intended to build the shelter. Public discussion was closed and board discussion ensued. One member said the issue is not the combined use, but how the proposed use will impact surrounding property. The property owner has met the burden of showing the impact on surroundings and the potential benefit to the community. The shelter would be making a huge commitment by risking their operation on a three year trial period. One member suggested more perimeter lighting, no trespassing signs, a public relations committee to ease tensions with neighbors, and adequate sidewalk lighting. If one person gets a fresh start from the facility, the project will be worthwhile because how we deal with our homeless is important. mpz11 a.96 4 11/05/96 Of APPROVED One member said voting against the proposal would leave the area as it is, while voting in favor would increase police presence in the area. One member said the decision must be based on whether the applicant has shown the standards of approval are met. The applicant has not shown the use will have no detrimental effect, or that a benefit will result. A question was raised regarding how the property value percentages are obtained and whether the numbers are accurate, if property owners give up reporting crimes after a while. One member said surrounding property owners should not be asked to set aside their potential for increase in favor of people who contribute nothing to the community. The proposal has not had sufficient long range planning, the site is too small, and the use is not compatible with surrounding uses. The existing police force can and should take care of the existing problem without a shelter. One member said the applicant has met the burden of proof and called for a motion. The organizations involved have a lifelong commitment to dealing with the homeless issue and, with proper oversight, will be able to make a positive impact. One member said it is difficult to vote because of acquaintance with Chief Klein and many homeless people. Concern was expressed a banker was withholding financing pending a decision on the shelter. Reference was made to a nightclub in Morningside the City had to purchase and close because it was a nuisance to the adjacent residential community. Concerns were expressed with accepting a Federal grant and subjecting the neighborhood to a project that the City might have to purchase after three years. It was suggested to consider building a police substation alone. General discussion ensued regarding the issues. Mr. Shuford said staff's research indicated crime goes down when a comprehensive approach is taken. Since crime and property devaluation are linked, logic would indicate going forward with the plan would not substantially negatively impact surrounding property values. One member felt it likely the shelter and police presence will alleviate crime enough to encourage an upward trend in property values. Another member did not agree and was not willing to risk someone else's property values based on the assumption fencing will solve the problem. It was felt the fears and concerns expressed by the majority of those speaking in opposition are valid and should be considered, unless it is clear benefits exist of which surrounding property owners are unaware. One member pointed out the complaints were associated with the soup kitchen operation. The board has no way to judge the proposed facility because it has no history in the community. One member said those who created the mess shown in the photograph are hard core homeless people who are not seeking public help and are not likely to sign up for rehabilitation or detoxification programs. Those who want assistance traditionally seek help from existing supporting agencies, like churches, for temporary lodgings or food. It was indicated many more than 48 people are in need of help and concern was expressed with attracting more people than can be accommodated. It was felt the registration procedure and rules of behavior will be sufficiently strict to discourage any who do not wish to improve themselves. mpz11 a.96 5 11/05/96 Member Kunnen moved to approve Item C1, CU 96 -46, subject to meeting all the standards for approval plus the following conditions: 1) The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2) All site lighting shall be equipped with a 901 cutoff mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3) A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4) The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5) Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use; 6) Efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues and information on a regular basis; and 7) Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Some felt fencing is needed to restrict pedestrian access through residential areas. Others felt fencing provides hiding places for criminals. The majority of the board did not support a condition to provide 24 -hour on -site security personnel at the shelter. Concern was expressed the supporters are grasping at a solution and misapplying it. It was indicated conditions are intended to mitigate any adverse effects that might occur, which is not possible due to the human element in this case. The motion was duly seconded. Members Merriam, Baron, Kunnen, and Hilkert voted "Aye "; Members Nixon, Mazur, and Bickerstaffe, voted "Nay." Motion carried. The meeting recessed from 5:17 to 5:30 p.m. C2.

The requested information is included in the board's packets. The City Traffic Engineering Department will work with the applicant to route vehicular traffic outside the loading area. Staff felt conditions support the request and recommended approval with four conditions. John Shern, authorized representative, stated staff's recommended conditions are acceptable. One board member expressed concern he had witnessed unacceptable conditions on the subject property and wished to ensure adequate access to pedestrian walkways and two -way vehicular access is provided. Mr. Shern responded to lengthy questioning regarding parking calculations, site configuration, facilities and access, fire lanes, reciprocal parking agreement with surrounding property owners, freight loading, mpz11 a.96 6 11105/96 pr OFFICE OF CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF CLEARWATER POST OFFICE BOX 4748, CLEARWATER, FLORIDA 34618 -4748 CITY HALL, 112 SOUTH OSCEO[A AVENUE, CLEARWATER, FLORIDA 34616 TELEPHONE (813) 462 -6760 FAx (813) 462 -6426 James W.

Brumett, Dr. Gilbert Janelli, and Save Our Neighborhood, an unincorporated association, filed a Notice of Appeal from the Board's decision. Under Section 36.065 of the City of Clearwater-Lan d Development Code (the Code), the appeal was forwarded -to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 1996, along with a copy of the record of the 2 proceedings below. After the filing of responses to the Initial Order in the case, a Notice of Hearing was issued on December 23, 1996, scheduling final hearing for January 29, 1997, in Clearwater. At final hearing, the tapes, minutes and exhibits from the Planning and Zoning Board proceeding were received into evidence.' the Appellants called five witnesses and had Appellants.' Exhibits 1 through 8 admitted into evidence in their case -in- chief. Government Exhibit 1 was admitted into evidence during the Appellants' presentation. The Applicant called three witnesses and had Applicant's Exhibit l admitted into evidence. The City called one witness and had Government Exhibits 1 through 20 admitted in evidence. Appellants' Exhibit 9 was admitted into evidence during the City's presentation. The Appellants recalled two witnesses in rebuttal. After the presentation of the evidence, the parties were given 15 days in which to file proposed final orders. Timely proposed final orders were filed by the Appellants and by the City. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Society owns property in Clearwater zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 12 (Residential Multi Family). The part of the property zoned CG fronts on the south side of Park Street and its adjacent western termi.nus;'the part of the property zoned RM 12 fronts on Pierce Street and is adjacent to and south of the CG property. 3 A � d . The Application 2. Since approximately 1991, the Society has operated a soup kitchen on the.part of the property zoned CG fronting on Park Street. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The continued operation of the soup kitchen is not at issue in this proceeding. 3. The Society wishes to build and operate a 48 -bed homeless shelter on the remainder of the I property. zoned CG located adjacent to the soup kitchen at the western terminus of Park Street, in conjunction with a new police substation facility. (There is an existing residence on some of the RM 12 property fronting on Pierce Street adjacent to and south of the existing soup kitchen; the remainder of the property facing Pierce Street will be used for new parking.) Both the residential shelter and the police substation facility are permittable conditional uses in-CG and RM zones requiring an application for conditional use approval. 4. As proposed, the police substation facility would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. Initially, the operation will be financed by a federal Department of Justice COPS grant; the City has committed to continue.funding for future years. 5. As proposed, the residential homeless shelter would serve primarily single males and females, but there will be a separate 4 -to -6 bed component for use by families as needed. The average length of stay at the shelter is projected to be eight 4 days. Restrooms will be available during day and evening hours for use of residents. 6.- The shelter will operate under the terms of a Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) community block grant. Funding under the grant is contingent on the establishment of the proposed police substation. Under the grant, users of the soup kitchen would be required to register. Registrants will undergo a police background check and will be "trespassers" from the facility.and.not allowed to use either the soup kitchen or the shelter if .a. criminal record is discovered. If eligible, registrants will be required to enter the CHIP program. (Not all users of the soup kitchen are homeless, and entry into the CHIP program will not be required if local residence can be proven:) 7: Upon entry into the CHIP program, shelter residents would be required to participate in CHIP intervention programs. These would include mental health and drug and alcohol abuse counseling and treatment (where appropriate) , job skill training and assistance in obtaining employment, and assistance in obtaining housing. The goal of the CHIP program is to transition participants back into productive jobs and permanent housing. 8. Participants in CHIP would have to follow the requirements of its programs, as well as follow "good citizenship" house rules of the homeless shelter (which includes the requirement to remain sober), in order to continue to receive the services of the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. The unacceptable behaviors of some current users of the soup kitchen - including public urination and defecation, public 5 drinking, panhandling and solicitation for prostitution - -would not be tolerated. If a program participant violates CHIP's rules, "he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses." Board Action 9. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the Society's conditional use approval application at length..at -its meeting on October 15, 1996, but continued the matter to give its. staff.time to answer questions raised at-the meeting. Staff provided additional information, and the application was considered again at length at the Board's meeting on November 5, 1996. By a vote of 4 -3, the Board approved the application subject to the following conditions,.which were designed..in large.part to address concerns of the Appellants: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the.perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public.hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use;._ 6. Efforts shall be made on behalf of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues 6 and information on a regular basis; and 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The Appellants raise no issue as to the approval of the proposed police substation facility as a conditional use; they only oppose the decision to approve the proposed homeless shelter as a conditional use. Compatibility with Surrounding Area 10. The area in which the subject property is located could not be characterized as a residential neighborhood. (A residential shelter would not be a permittable conditional use in a single - family zoning district.) Rather, it is in an area of mixed land use. Existing land uses within 1000 feet of the site include office, school, utility facilities, park, indoor retail, motel, restaurant, bar /tavern, personal services, and vehicular service, in addition to single - family residential and multi- family residential. 11. Perhaps most significant for purposes of the decision in this case, the proposed property is located next to the Society's soup kitchen, which is a permitted use that has been existence at the site since approximately 1991. There clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that a homeless shelter next to an existing soup kitchen is a compatible use. It may well be that the homeless shelter would not be compatible with the surrounding area if it were not for the pre- existing soup kitchen, but those are not the facts. 12. The Appellants question the compatibility of a homeless 7 shelter next to a bar and near convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased, since almost 6026 of homeless individuals in upper Pinellas County in 1995 were abusers of alcohol. But there was no evidence that there are any possible locations for a homeless shelter in the City of Clearwater where beer and wine cannot be purchased relatively conveniently. (There probably are residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to buy beer and wine, but:a homeless shelter would.rot be permittable there.) Besides, the presence of the soup kitchen next door is enough to sustain the Board's decision that the homeless shelter is a compatible use, even with the nearby bar and convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased. Adverse Impacts from Soup Kitchen 13. All.of the adverse impacts on nearby property complained of by the Appellants are impacts from the operation of the soup kitchen. The homeless who trespass by walking through private property near the subject property from Cleveland Street, and from other directions, to the soup kitchen are, obviously, users of the soup kitchen. Other adverse impacts from users of the soup kitchen include: _damage to and burglary of and sleeping in and on private property near the subject property; monopolizing the nearby Cleveland Street bus stop; loitering and littering and drinking in public on both private and public property in the area; urinating and defecating and panhandling and soliciting for prostitution on both private and.public property in the area. 14. These adverse impacts from the operation of the soup 8 kitchen, in addition to the mere presence in public of those homeless users of the soup kitchen who look and smell bad, are what has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The evidence was that, on the average over a larger radius of 1000 feet from the soup kitchen, there is no trend of decreasing property values as a result of.the presence of the soup kitchen at this time; but, in fairness, that is not to say that, even over this larger area, the presence of the soup kitchen, and those who use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values, for example from efforts at redevelopment and revitalization in the area. Positive Impact of Homeless Shelter 15. Given the pre- existence of the Society's soup kitchen, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the proposal to build and operate a homeless shelter next door, especially with the conditions imposed by the Board, would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. 16. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that, with the homeless shelter, 48 of the homeless now living in the streets and causing negative impacts on the neighborhood will be off the streets and, as long as they follow the rules of the shelter, will not be contributing to those impacts. Cf. Finding 13, supra. 17. As conditions on its approval of the application, the Board has required: (1) that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; (2) that additional lighting be 9 A installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; and (3) that fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These measures also should help ameliorate the negative impacts of both the residents of the homeless shelter and other users of the soup kitchen .2 18. There also was evidence that.there has been a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of new-homeless shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that a similar decrease in crime would occur in the vicinity of the Society's proposed homeless shelter. (Also supporting such an inference was evidence that virtually no complaints have arisen out of the operation of the 15 -bed emergency shelter which the Salvation Army has operated at 900 Pierce Street for the preceding 18 months and at another location for the 18 months before that, or out of the operation of any homeless shelter operated by Barbara Green of Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project over the last 30 years.' 19. In the face of this evidence, the Appellants could only respond by raising the specter of an influx of homeless from all over Pinellas County (and even the country) attracted by the combination of the soup kitchen and the homeless shelter, in numbers that will exceed the homeless shelter.'s capacity. There was no evidence on which to base such a projection, and the Board 10 was entitled to treat this concern as being speculative. 20. There was evidence that, unlike some other communities, Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of shelter location at spots throughout the County and that this policy has succeeded in avoiding overburdening any one area. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that the addition of the Society's proposed homeless shelter would cause all of the homeless.in Pinellas County.to abandon the many other shelters'in the County to live on'the streets in the vicinity of the'Society's proposed shelter while admission. 21. The Board also was entitled to infer that, logically, if the homeless shelter attracts any additional homeless., it will attract those.hopeful of acceptance into the CHIP program and that these individuals would be willing to abide by the strict rules of behavior required of homeless person wanting to be accepted. Positive Impact of the Police Substation 22. In addition to the evidence on the positive impact of the proposed homeless shelter itself, there clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the combined proposal of a homeless shelter and a police substation facility will would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. As proposed, the police substation would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. The Board clearly was entitled to infer from this evidence that crime and other negative impacts to the neighborhood likely will be reduced from current levels. Three -Year Trial Period 23. As an additional protection for the neighboring property owners, the Board attached a three -year trial period as a condition to its approval, after which a new conditional use permit.review will be required for the residential shelter use. The Commission's Decision 24. The Appellants argue that policy allegedly.set.by the City Commission requires the reversal of the Board's decision. They argue that this policy is reflected in a Commission decision to deny an application to amendment the City's comprehensive plan to change the future land use designation of.the property adjacent and immediately to the west of the subject property from commercial to public facility to allow for use as.a church and school. The evidence actually reflects the City Commission's concern that the existence of ,a church and school on the site would make it more difficult for commercial properties within 200 feet to obtain condition use approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages for lounges and restaurants. The City's decision not to amend its comprehensive plan did not establish policy to control the conditional use approval at issue in this case. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 25. Under Section 36.065(6) of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code): (a) The hearing officer shall review the record and testimony presented at the hearing before.the board and the hearing officer relative to the guidelines for consideration of conditional uses 12 (b) (c) or variances as contained in chapter 41, article II, or chapter 45, respectively. Although additional evidence may be brought before the hearing officer, the hearing shall not be deemed a hearing de novo, and the record before the board shall be incorporated into.the record before the hearing officer, supplemented by such additional evidence as may be brought before the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall be guided by the city comprehensive plan, relevant portions of this Code and established case law. The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of law. In this case, the Appellants argue that "the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer."' 26. Section 41.033 of the Code provides, in pertinent part: A conditional use shall be approved by the board only upon determination that the application and evidence presented clearly indicate that: (1) The use complies with the land use plan. (2) The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code.. (3) The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. (4) The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and.not detract from the public's. convenience .at the specific location. (5) The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. (6) The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The Appellants argue in this case that the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer cannot sustain the board's decision that the application for conditional use approval in 13 this case met the requirements of Section 41.033(2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the Code. 27. As for Section 41.033(2) and (3) of the Code,. other provisions of the Code applicable in this case include Section 41.052, which provides in pertinent part: The standards in this section shall apply to all uses which are identified in this development code as conditional uses. Only those uses which comply with all of the standards contained in this section may be approved. (7) The use shall be consistent with the community character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard: (a) Whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; (b) Whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of the properties surrounding the conditional use; (c) Whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; (d) Whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type or volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses. 28. The key to properly deciding this appeal is the recognition that much of what the Appellants object to already exists as a result of the Society's existing soup kitchen, and denying this application for a homeless shelter and police substation will not change those conditions. Meanwhile, as found, there was sufficient evidence both before the Board and before the hearing officer to sustain the Board's decision that granting the application will help alleviate the Appellants' complaints, not exacerbate them, especially in view of the 14 conditions placed on the conditional use approval granted by the Board. The requirement of a three -year trial period, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use, is an additional protection for the neighboring property owners. DISPOSITION Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the appeal is denied, and the Board's decision is upheld. DONE AND ORDERED this 26th day of February, 1997, in Tallahassee, Florida. Division of Administrative Hearings The DeSoto Building 1230 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, FL 32399 -1550 (904) 488 -9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 26th day of February, 1997. ENDNOTES 1. The materials referred to the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) on November 26, 1996, were supplemented with certified copies of Board minutes. 2. The Appellants make much of the Society's need for a small easement from a neighboring property owner in order to comply with the sidewalk condition. But the possibility that the Society will not be able to comply with the condition is not a ground to overturn the Board's decision. Rather, it would be a compliance issue that is more appropriately resolved in another forum. 3. In fairness to the Appellants' position, it should be pointed out that none these homeless shelters had a soup kitchen attached. 15 4. The Division of Administrative Hearings .(DOAH) has entered into a contract to serve as "hearing officer" under the City's Code. As a result of Chapter 96 -159, Laws of Florida (1996), former DOAH hearing officers are now called administrative law judges. The City's Code has not yet been revised to reflect the' title change. 5. Under this curious hybrid procedure, a board decision apparently, can be sustained even if not sustainable by the evidence before the board if sustainable by a combination of the evidence before the board and:the evidence before the hearing officer (and never before seen by the board) . The opposite corollary to this curious procedure is that the board's decision can be reversed as not sustainable by the evidence based upon evidence presented for the first time before the hearing officer COPIES FURNISHED: Timothy A.

(CHIP) for funding of operations, in the amount $100,000 (Consent) The CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project) Shelter opened in April 1998, and since that date has provided a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families begin to improve their lives. The City donated the first $100,000 to CHIP in January 1998 and, at this time, the Police Department is requesting that the City continue its contribution to the shelter for operational funds which are still needed and are essential to CHIP's successful operation. Funding for this donation in the amount of $50,000 is available in the Special Program Project #181 - 99938, Homeless Shelter. The balance of $50,000 is funded in the Police Department's fiscal year 2000/01 operating budget. Police Chief Sid Klein said over 4,500 clients have been serviced by CHIP. As Tampa has closed its open feeding operation, Clearwater is seeing an abundance of homeless in downtown. Chief Klein confirmed there is a growing demand for family accommodations but only six available beds. Approximately two families per day are turned away. The City plans to continue to acquire funding at the State and Federal levels for operational costs. Concern was expressed the City must consider how large an operation CHIP should become. It was suggested Panhandlers be put to work. It was remarked the CHIP program requires participates to attend counseling and job training, and provides assistance to those who truly need it to become active citizens again. Excerpt from Draft 1 ksession Minutes 12 -6 -99 Presentation — Homeless Issue Briefing Police Chief Klein said all cities face homeless issues. CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program) provides a helping hand to homeless individuals. While Pinellas County has an average of 3,200 homeless individuals each day, the 19 shelters only have 614 beds. He introduced CHIP's Project Director is Carole Ciokiewicz and reviewed the program's background and collaboration with social service agencies such as the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen, Salvation Army, the Clearwater Police Department, which maintains an on -site substation, Pinellas County, Veterans Administration, Gulf Coast Legal Aid, Community Pride Coordinated Child Care, etc. Since the shelter opened in April 1998, it has served more than 15,000 individuals. An average 75 daytime clients receive services including clothing, sandwiches, medical counseling, referrals, laundry, etc. The shelter's capacity is limited. The average stay is 8 days. Individuals work with a caseworker to develop a plan to find employment and locate a permanent residence. Some individuals remain homeless in spite of efforts. Police Chief Klein reported neighborhood residents and nearby businesses now applaud the community improvements. New construction is underway nearby. Pinellas County shelters are at capacity. The seasonal population increase leaves more families and individuals living on the streets. The downtown is primarily impacted although an increase of related problems have been reported in the City's eastern section and on the beach. The shelter provides a more effective deterrent to homelessness than law enforcement. He recommended the current program be maintained. Operating costs of FY 1999/2000 are budgeted at $326,000. Grant funds are diminishing while operating costs and client rates are increasing. He expressed the need for foundation funding or corporate sponsorship. Police Chief Klein recommended the program be expanded to provide transitional housing, for program participants who are moving from the shelter toward independence. Participants would continue to work with a CHIP caseworker on a savings and budget program, housekeeping and cooking skills, while maintaining employment and paying rent. He estimated a pilot program would cost $100,000 annually, excluding property acquisition and rehabilitation costs. He said anyone can become homeless. How the City handles these issues today will affect our community tomorrow. In response to a question, Police Chief Klein said homeless programs in other cities are relatively full every night. It was recommended the City link with other communities to address this issue. It was suggested funds could be raised from grants. Police Chief Klein noted grants often require a program match. The program cannot count on private contributions to continue. It was suggested the program needs a dedicated revenue source. Police Chief Klein said staff is exploring options at the County level, noting Dade County had implemented a restaurant tax for homeless related costs. The City Manager said Clearwater is responsible for the program. He supported the recommendation to expand the program, noting the need to consider future budget impacts. He said a program would be less expensive than depending on law enforcement interdiction. It was felt a Countywide solution should be considered with fair share contributions from smaller cities. DR.

Box 4748 Clearwater, FL 33758 -4748 To Whom It May Concern: I am in receipt of a notice regarding the increase in the C.H.I.P. residential shelter for the homeless. This letter is notification to you of a "NO VOTE" for anymore increase in the amount of homeless units in this location. I own the office building at 1275 - 1279 Cleveland street. We have had a constant problem with the homeless urinating on our building, sleeping under the shrubs in our gardens, having drinking parties across the street from the Fina gas Station that sells them beer, and are "pan- handling" our patients for money. My patient's are concerned about this foot traffic from morning to night and feel "unsafe" walking from the parking lot to the office building. The Police Department phone number is "posted" at our Front Desk for calling the police as this has become such a regular problem. Is this any way to have to operate a business on the "main" street? The value of my office building is affected by this traffic of homeless and drunks up and down Cleveland street and we reject the idea of adding more units to increase our problem by attracting more homeless. Why would you provide this type of facility and service to the homeless in the "downtown" area of Clearwater ?? Have a look at Central Ave in St.Petersburg where one has been for years, you can't tell me it has improved anything in the past 20 years there. It has become a "slum" area.

First of all, I am surprised at the extreme: exceptions to current codes that are being sought in order to create this facility. Setbacks, l assume, were codified for a reason. To change a setback from 20 feet to 5 feet, f :)r example, is extreme. Also, the expansion of housing for the homeless in this area is questionable as to appropriateness. As a property owner with multiple apartment buildings in this area I know firsthand that the littering, loitering etc, that currently occurs in this dense residential area is already extreme. I am constantly on the lookout for intrusions into my property at 1338 Pierce St., for example, where homeless occupants of the shelter who are breaking curfew have repeatedly used the fenced backyard to gain access to the CHIPS facility undetected. Prior to my fencing the side accesses, l would find people sleeping in the back of my property repeatedly, despite clearly marked "no trespassing" signs. . I have spoken to Mary Gephardt at the St. Vincent DOW soup kitchen repeatedly because of loitering on the property adjoining mine to the North (no address on the door or mailbox), where horeless find the side stoop especially tempting as an area to congregate; eat, drink, Fled leave litter, including multiple beer containers_ Ms. Gephardt, in our last conversation, agreed to fence off the stoop somehow. To date, this has not occurred and there are, again, multiple beer containers and litter there as I write this letter. Frankly, why here for additional services to the homeless? I understand the need for such services and am not against the funding that a portion of my tax dollar provides in order to support those services. Two "graduates" of the shelter have been residents in one of my buildings for four years. However, this area is highly dense with a large percentage of-young children, many of them of Mexican heritage. Is it possible that, because this area tends to attract a mixtw•e of lower middle and working class people of all races, including many of Mexican, extraction, who are struggling every day to make a living and pay their bills, that there is an attitude in the City that this area is less powerful politically than more appropriate sites? Are we trying to educate our newest immigrants as to how to "work" the welfare system as opposed to work a job? 1, for example, insist that my tenants and their guests place litter in proper receptacles. Do you think it sets a good example when they view transients treating our streets like a garbage can? I hope not and don't wish to impugn anyone's motives, but expanding in this area of downtown is, simply inappropriate. The CHIPS and St. Vincent' facilities themselves no longer belong here. They constrain property values and, more important, attract a clientele that has elements among it that can be a danger to tale neighboring residents, especially the children. Those facilties should be moved. If in tact, the residents of the proposed new facility are those judged to be ready for re -entry into society.. remodel on the site of the current C14 PS facility and let them live FRC `1 : FAX N0. : Apr. 14 2003 08: 25AM P3 (Martin L.

Build a new hom.less facility and soup kitchen in an area, for example, like the industrial area off Hercules, where residents and residential property owners will not be subjected to problems and dangers. As a humane society, we are obliged to help those less fortunate. However, proximity to downtown should not be a priority. Or, as an alternative, place these facilities next to City Hall, where a constant civil administrative and police presence will constrain negative activity.

Page 1 z j. :r INVESTIGATIVE SUPPORT UNIT CRIME ANALYSIS SECTION INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION FORM April 24, 2003 TO: Sid Klein, Chief of Police FROM: Sergeant Ed Hunley, Investigative Support Unit CC: Lieutenant Michael Sahr; File RE: Crime Statistics — CHIP Shelter Area Prepared by: Sgt. E. Hunley & K. The Office of the Chief requested information regarding crime statistics in the area surrounding the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project Shelter (CHIP), which is located at 1339 Park Street. The geographic area used in the report includes all addresses within five hundred feet (500') of the CHIP Shelter. The boundaries for this area are Cleveland Street (north), Franklin Street (south), South Hillcrest Avenue (east), and South Fredrica Avenue (west). The data compiled for this summary was extracted from Clearwater Police Department (CPD) offense reports written and submitted by sworn and non -sworn personnel between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2002. Two (2) different records management systems (RMS) were used during that time period. Between January 1997 and December 2000, the Legacy reporting system was employed. Between June 2000 and December 2002, the Law Enforcement Reporting System (LERS) was used. Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) guidelines were used to obtain the crime statistics from CPD reports taken within the geographic limits listed above. The UCR program was developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in order to generate a reliable set of crime statistics for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management. Participating law enforcement agencies submit UCR data to the FBI twice a year. The FBI has created guidelines for use of the UCR system that defines which crimes will be included in the report. The offenses are divided into two categories known as Part I and Part II. The crimes included in each group are listed below. UCR Part I Offenses Aggravated Assault Aggravated Stalking Arson Burglary /Breaking & Entering Forcible Sex Offenses Homicide Kidnap /Abduction Larceny /Theft Motor Vehicle Theft Robbery Simple Assault 4 UCR Part II Offenses Bribery Counterfeit/Forgery Destruction/Vandalism Driving while Under the Influence (DUI) Drug/Narcotics Offenses Embezzlement Extortion/Blackmail Fraud Gambling Intimidation Liquor Law Violations Non - forcible Sex Offenses Prostitution Simple Stalking Stolen Property Weapons Violations Miscellaneous The grid below shows the total of Part I and Part II crimes by calendar year for the geographic area mentioned above along with the percentage of change between each time span. For the purpose of this report, the category "Other CPD" was added and encompasses non - criminal events that were documented in the area and are not counted by UCR. This category was merely used in calculating total number of reports for the area. UCR & Other CPD Offenses -1997 -2002 The dramatic difference in UCR Part II crimes between 2000 and 2001 is probably due to the fact that offenses such as warrant arrests and ordinance violations were not captured in the records management system prior to 2001. The transition period between records management systems in 2000 may also account for part of the variation. For the purpose of this report, it is advisable to compare "apples" to "apples." Therefore, it is reasonable to compare the Legacy years of 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 in order to draw a conclusion on the change in UCR Part I and Part II offenses during that period. A comparison between the LERS years of 2001 and 2002 can provide an indication of future crime trends. It is possible, given five (5) years of data, that a prediction may be made of Part I and Part II crimes for this area for the years 2003, 2004, 2005, etc. However, the change of reporting policy between 2000 and 2001 would taint that prediction and provide inaccurate information.

Section 1 -106C. provides that conditions continue unless a new approval is obtained. [The possibility of termination of status as a nonconformity was mentioned to the applicant but has not been pursued.] The original condition # 5. states that in 1999, "a new conditional use review will be required for the residential shelter use ". The minutes do not elaborate regarding the condition; it is possible that by listening to the audiotape further information could be gleaned. The condition as stated implies a review of the entire use based on the criteria set forth in old Code Section 41.033. 1 am faxing you a copy of that Section. It does seem unusual to be reviewing the conditional use under the old Code; however, since the new Code does not address this exact point and given the transitional rules, this seems the logical approach. The only other approach would be to deem the old criteria no longer in effect and either find that no criteria are applicable or that some "parallel" criteria under the new Code are applicable. This does not seem to be a viable approach because i.) it would not effectuate the intent of the PZB; and ii.) there are no "parallel" criteria under the new Code that would recognize the existing use [see 2 -903 and definition of "residential shelter "]. Note that old Section 41.032 provides for notice per old Ch. 36; since it required 10 days' publication and 200' notice, I believe the current notice procedures will be sufficient under both the new and old Codes.

INTRODUCTION Before 1980, the United States did not experience widespread homelessness. Tonight, approximately 800,000 people will be homeless. This is despite a myriad of programs and organizations designed to address the problem, supported by nearly $2 billion per year in federal investment. Over the course of a year between 2.3 million and 3.5 million people will experience homelessness.' Several factors have contributed to the rise in homelessness, including escalating housing costs since the 1980s that outstripped personal income growth; accelerated loss of affordable housing stock and declining rental assistance; and decreased affordability and availability of family support services, such as child care. Other social changes including deindustrialization of our central cities, suburbanization, and the resulting concentration of urban poverty, have created unsustainable communities and housing markets. Neighborhood disinvestment has further contributed to the substitution of underground markets, including the trade of illegal drugs, which have undermined families' and individuals' health and well being." Planners can play a significant role in reducing homelessness by determining local housing needs through their comprehensive plans, removing regulatory and legal barriers to the development of affordable and supportive housing, and fostering community support for permanent housing for the homeless. The lack of affordable housing severely limits a community's ability to end homelessness by limiting its ability to move people from shelters to permanent housing. A planner's most fundamental responsibility is to improve communities by addressing existing and future needs. Section A -5 of the AICP Code of Ethics (as amended in October 1991) states that a planner "must strive to expand choice and opportunity for all persons, recognizing a special responsibility to plan for the needs of disadvantaged groups ..." The Code of Ethics further states that a planner must "urge the alteration of policies, institutions and decisions which oppose such needs." This Policy Guide is another in a series of APA policy guides concerning housing related issues and builds on recommended policies APA has adopted in the following guides: Factory Built Housing (2001), Housing (1999), Community Residences (1997), The Supply of Public and Subsidized Housing (1991), and Smart Growth (2002).

Federal law "' defines a homeless person as one who "lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence ... and has a primary night residency that is: (a) a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations... (b) an institution that provides temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or (c) a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings." Also included are persons being discharged from institutions that do not have an identified residence to go to within a week, and persons fleeing domestic violence. The definition excludes those who are in the corrections system or detained pursuant to law. Various federal agencies other than HUD have interpreted the law in light of their specific programs; as reflected in program regulations. This definition works well in large urban communities, where tens of thousands of persons are literally homeless, on the streets, or in shelters. It has proven problematic in assessing the status of homeless persons in rural areas where there are few shelters. In rural areas, homeless persons are more likely to live with relatives or friends in overcrowded or substandard housing, or in less - than- habitable outbuildings." Frequently these stays are sequential, that is, floating from one home to another until a permanent situation is found, these are the "Hidden Homeless." It is neither accurate nor appropriate to think about the homeless as a relatively homogeneous group. The Millennial Housing Commission has adopted a general way of categorizing the homeless, based on the research of Randall Kuhn and Dennis Culhane, which provides a framework for considering how best to address and prevent homelessness:" Transitionally homeless persons are those who generally move quickly through the homeless assistance system, once they are able to access it. Their principal need is for housing, plain and simple. Income supports, including employment that pays a living wage is critical to keeping these families housed. The "transitionally homeless" include people that work in entry -level jobs as well as those living on fixed incomes (the elderly, for example, or persons with disabilities that are living on SSI), who earn barely enough to pay for their housing costs and other necessities (such as food, health care, and day care). These individuals and families often live paycheck -to- paycheck or month -to- month, and may be one paycheck away from not making their mortgage or rent payment. Thus, a single short-term emergency, such as an increase in their rent or the loss of a job because of layoff, illness, or injury may result in homelessness. Chronically homeless persons often experience long -term homelessness, frequently rotating through and among a community's various shelter facilities and the streets. They typically have health or substance abuse problems in addition to extreme poverty. This population is best served by permanent supportive housing, which combines housing with intensive rehabilitation, treatment, and other social services. Who Is Homeless? High housing costs and precarious, low -wage employment leave many American families today only a paycheck, illness, or car breakdown away from homelessness."' Families with children are one of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population. A 2000 survey of 25 cities conducted by the U.S. Conference of Mayors found that 36 percent of the homeless population was composed of families with children.v" This observation is corroborated by other research, which likewise indicates that approximately 34 -38 percent of the homeless are families with children.`l" In rural areas, families, single mothers, and children are the largest group of people who are homeless.'x Homeless children demonstrate serious Page 2 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm .4/17/2003 Policy Guide developmental and learning delays, and are more likely to miss school than children with stable living situations. Poor educational experience can have lifelong impacts.x About two - thirds of the households (50 percent of the people — including children) who experience homelessness over the course of a year are single adults. Most of these people are homeless for a very short time, and leave the homeless assistance system quickly. Others are perpetually homeless, cycling in and out of a variety of shelters, detention facilities, and the health care system." Single homeless adults are most often men between the ages of 31 and 50.x" Approximately 20 -25 percent of this population experiences serious, ongoing mental illness.x "' Approximately half of the single adult homeless have a past or present substance use disorder. Runaway and "throwaway" youth are another element of the homeless population, and may include not only youth on the street or in shelters, but also students and children living in doubled -up housing, motels, and substandard housing, or "couch surfing" — the practice of ongoing but temporary stays with unrelated families or friends. This segment has proven difficult to quantify and is often not included in official counts of homeless people. One study that interviewed homeless youth found that approximately 1.6 million individual youths nationwide were homeless at least one night over the course of a year.x`V Why Are People Homeless? Homelessness results from a complex set of circumstances in which people are forced to choose between food, shelter, and other basic needs, such as medicine and preventive health care.x`' Principal reasons for homelessness include:x"' • Poverty: Eroding work opportunities and declining income for lower - level workers (such as janitors, restaurant workers, retail clerks and stockers, manual laborers), coupled with decreasing welfare benefits and rental assistance funding. • Unemployment and Underemployment: Many people become homeless due to unemployment and underemployment. Even when people are employed, their salaries may not be adequate to afford decent housing or to allow accumulation of savings, living paycheck to paycheck. Many people that seek emergency and transitional housing are employed. • Lack of Affordable Housing: Low -rent units are disappearing from the market — abandoned, demolished, or converted into more expensive housing. Costs of new construction continue to escalate, while deep subsidies that provide direct rental assistance to the poor are declining. Waiting lists for housing assistance average 33 months in the nation's larger cities.x`•'" Despite recent moves to increase the minimum wage, in no state does a full -time minimum wage job enable most families to pay for a moderately priced two - bedroom apartment.x` iii • Other Factors: • Domestic Violence — Women with no means of support other than their abusive spouses are faced with a Hobson's choice: battering or homelessness. Forty -six percent of the cities surveyed by the U.S. Conference of Mayors reported domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness.xix • Lack of Affordable Health Care — Serious illness or disability can begin a descent into homelessness, beginning with loss of employment income and savings, which lead to eviction. • Mental Illness and Substance Abuse — Homeless people often face considerable barriers in obtaining treatment due to the lack of adequate resources, including mental health, substance abuse, outreach, and supportive services. Treatment Page 3 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide failures occur when homeless people fall out of systems that do not aggressively maintain contact with them or when clients fail to comply with potentially effective medication /treatment regimens. With appropriate treatment and supportive services, the majority of people with mental illness and /or substance abuse issues can succeed in permanent housing. In turn, permanent housing can contribute to improved mental health and abstinence from alcohol or drugs. What Is Being Done to Help the Homeless? The homeless assistance system is principally made up of local public and private nonprofit organizations that deliver a wide range of shelter and supportive services to people who become homeless. These services are generally funded through a patchwork of federal, state, and local public funds, coupled with charitable giving funneled through United Way and faith -based institutions. The aim of the homeless assistance system is to address the immediate needs of the homeless person and get them off the streets and into housing. Once housed, they may or may not receive additional direct services, depending on community resources and individual need. On the policy front, the federal government is encouraging collaborative planning at all levels. Local service providers must engage in broad -based comprehensive planning for the homeless as a prerequisite for receiving federal homeless funding. The Interagency Council on Homelessness has brought federal agencies together to better coordinate the various programs that offer funding and services for the homeless. Several states have established similar interagency councils. What Is the Cost of Homelessness? Because they have no regular place to stay, homeless persons use a variety of public systems in inefficient and costly ways. This tendency masks the true cost of homelessness by cost shifting to law enforcement, corrections, health care, welfare, education, and other systems. A recent study of nearly 10,000 homeless adults with severe mental illness in New York City found that they used an average of $40,500 in health, shelter, and correctional services each year. For families, the annual cost of emergency shelter alone can be approximately $30,000, and in some cities is as high as $45,000 annually (New York).'` II. FINDINGS Planning & Land Use 1. The need for emergency, transitional, and permanent housing for homeless populations is best evaluated with a Comprehensive Plan Housing Element that determines housing needs and priorities and sets forth policies and strategies to meet housing priorities. 2. Local comprehensive plans, in general, should be well integrated with the various plans and strategies that cities must develop in connection with federal housing and homeless funding, such as the Consolidated Housing & Community Development Plan, Continuum of Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Agency Plan. The result can be ambitious plans that are possible to implement with access to grant funding, that identify appropriate sites and infrastructure for affordable and supportive housing. 3. Contributing to the shortage of affordable and supportive housing is an increasingly inadequate supply of appropriately zoned land (due to large minimum lot sizes for single - family housing and restrictions on siting multifamily or group residential facilities). Low -cost housing development fails to maximize profits for private developers and results in reduced tax revenues to local governments (when compared to more expensive forms of housing). Page 4 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide Housing owned by nonprofit organizations may be exempt from local taxation while generating demand for school, infrastructure, and social services. Supportive housing may be further restricted by covenants and special permitting requirements. Such permitting requirements may restrict the type and frequency of services provided on site, the proximity of the supportive housing to other similar projects, and imposes additional special limitations on density or number of units that exceed those of the zoning district classification. 4. The Continuum of Care planning process mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development as a prerequisite to receipt of funds has helped service providers evaluate community needs, identify gaps and duplication of services, and establish local priorities for use of grant dollars. The Continuum of Care approach, however, remains principally focused on helping communities frame an effective response to homelessness, rather than preventing homelessness in the first place."" 5. Planning for both immediate homeless services and prevention of homelessness requires that communities take a comprehensive view of how the social safety net does and does not work for both transitionally and chronically homeless persons. It is not enough to create a homeless assistance system that manages people's experience of homelessness. Communities need to address the root cause of homelessness. Since the homeless assistance system lacks the depth and stability of funding available to more "mainstream" programs and providers, effective planning will need to embrace mainstream programs and providers, such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Community Health Centers, Public Housing Authorities, and Medicaid, to develop prevention strategies. 6. An evaluation of the Continuum of Care planning process mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development as a prerequisite for receiving funding indicates that more people are served and are able to access more and better coordinated programs. Further, a more coordinated approach to provide housing and services for homeless people offers a good framework for increasing communication and information sharing among key stakeholders including mainstream agencies and broadens the base for financial support in the homeless assistance network. Note: The seven components, of a full Continuum of Care, are: prevention, outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, permanent affordable housing, and supportive services. Barriers to Affordable and Supportive Housing 7. Even when housing providers acquire, improve, or re -use existing housing stock and agree to payment in lieu of taxes to support local infrastructure, they typically encounter intense neighborhood opposition. Opposition to supportive housing in particular tends to be protracted, resulting in increased development costs for projects that already have extremely low margins of economic viability. 8. Spacing requirements for group homes can present barriers to the development of new permanent supportive housing for the homeless." 9. Development regulations, which impose unrealistic parking requirements and unnecessary transportation impact fees, may create financial burdens for developers of supportive housing when they are not reflective of the actual impact of the facility. 10. Despite evidence from numerous studies over the past 20 years, neighborhoods continue to vigorously fight supportive housing arrangements Page 5 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide for the homeless on the basis of property values and /or a fear of crime. An Urban Land Institute Report prepared for HUD in 1999 examined the impact of supportive housing on neighborhoods and neighbors in Denver ( "The Impact of Supportive Housing on Neighborhoods and Neighbors "). The report showed that supportive housing does not decrease property values nor increase criminal activity.xxiii Fair Housing 11. Many homeless persons, particularly those most in need of permanent supportive housing, experience disabilities. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)xx +v states "no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity." The Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v L.C.xxv interpreted Title II by requiring public entities to administer services, programs, and activities in "the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities." In essence, Olmstead bans the "separate but equal" approach to accommodating the disabled. Although this decision has yet to be applied in a land use context, it certainly raises the issue of whether a community, in restricting zoning or permitting for supportive housing in a manner that limits the supply of such housing, violates the ADA. 12. One consequence of the reasonable accommodations provision of the Fair Housing Act is that local jurisdictions cannot limit the number of homeless persons with disabilities who live in supportive housing, such as group homes. Organizations such as Oxford House have fought and won zoning disputes concerning single - family definitions that limited the number of disabled persons that could live in a group home. 13. Local governments can violate the Fair Housing Act if they stop a group home or deny a reasonable accommodation due to neighbor's fears or prejudices about persons with disabilities.xxvi Housing Costs & Supply 14. Families and individuals at the lowest end of the wage scale have the greatest difficulty in finding and paying for decent housing. These same households are important to community stability and economic growth, as they are typically headed by workers in the service and retail sectors with earnings at or just above minimum wage. Other at -risk households in many communities include entry -level police officers and teachers, as well as low - skilled manufacturing workers.xxvii 15. The inventory of affordable housing units keeps shrinking. The absence of a range of viable rental housing options creates a truncated housing continuum. This affordable rental housing crisis is not new; however, the plight of homeless and poor households has intensified as the gap between minimum wage and the wage a full -time worker must earn an hour to afford adequate housing has increased sharply. The national median housing wage for 2002 was $14.66 for a two - bedroom apartment or almost three times the Federal minimum wage, which has remained at $5.15 since 1997. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, in no jurisdiction in the United States does a minimum wage job provide enough income for a household to afford the Fair Market Rent for a two- bedroom home. 16. The lack of affordable housing has engendered high rent burdens. Housing assistance is at a premium. People are placed on long waiting lists. The average time on the waiting list for Section 8 rental assistance is approximately 33 months. These exceedingly long waiting lists mean that Page 6 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide people must remain in shelters longer. The loss of single room occupancy housing has also contributed to the growth of homelessness. According to the 2000 "Survey on Hunger and Homeless in America," a report of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, single men compose 44 percent of the homeless, and single women make up 13 percent. Fiscal Impacts of Homelessness 17. Homeless persons are more likely to use the most expensive health care interventions, such as emergency rooms. Homeless people spend on average four more days per hospital visit than comparable non - homeless people, at a cost of approximately $2,414 per hospitalization. 18. Homelessness frequently results from and aggravates serious health care problems, including addiction. Attempts to treat people who do not have stable housing are ineffective and costly. 19. Homeless persons spend much time in jail or prison, often for petty crimes. It is not unusual for homeless people to continue to commit minor offenses so that they can return to the relative safety and warmth of a jail cell. The typical cost of a prison bed in a state or federal facility is $20,000 per year, compared to a typical annual rent subsidy of about $4,500- $6,000. Compromised health and time in jail limit homeless people's employability, and create long -term reliance on welfare systems. 20. Emergency shelter is the most immediate and basic response to homelessness. However, emergency shelter is the least cost - effective approach to solving the need for long -term housing. With an average annual cost of $15,000 for singles and $25,000- $30,000 for families, emergency housing is far more expensive and less effective than the typical annual rent subsidy of $4,500 - $6,000 per unit. xx"' III. SPECIFIC POLICY POSITIONS 1. Planners should work to ensure that local comprehensive plans include housing elements that provide for a diverse choice of housing opportunities, in all price ranges, distributed throughout the community and for inclusion of appropriate types of supportive housing in amounts consistent with demonstrated need. Local Planners should encourage the specific subject of homelessness in local comprehensive plans. This can be done as part of the housing element and can be tied to affordable and attainable housing as goals and recommend the homeless be considered as part of any "special needs" audience that may be identified in a local plan. Reason to support: Planners can reduce homelessness by using the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan to determine housing needs and to develop effective strategies to address identified housing issues, including homelessness. 2. Local Planners should encourage coordination between the general planning /land use departments with community development and /or human service funding agencies and nonprofits. Specifically, planners should identify and cross reference common goals or related objectives in local land use plans with federally mandated housing and community development plans and strategies (i.e.: HUD Consolidated Plans, Neighborhood Page 7 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide Revitalization Strategies, and Continuum of Care Strategies.) Reason to support: Coordination promotes the efficient use of public funds. The coordination of planning efforts provides a platform for addressing housing needs strategically, with an integrated vision that guides, connects, and communicates a more comprehensive effort. This effort may promote equity by offering a continuum of supportive housing options. 3. Planners should ensure that local comprehensive plans address the need for a wide array of emergency, transitional, and permanent housing to serve the homeless, including rental units for households with incomes below 30 percent of area median income (See APR Policy Guide on Housing, 1999). Reason to support: Unless there is an adequate supply of housing to meet the needs of very low- income households, including those with disabilities, communities will not be able to effectively address homelessness. 4. Planners should work to ensure that every community has reasonable facilities to accommodate the needs of the homeless on a short -term or emergency basis. Reason to support: Emergency shelter should be considered a basic community service. In the wealthiest nation on earth, there is no excuse for people to perish from exposure, but it happens across the nation every day. Short-term shelters get people off the streets and offer the opportunity to access supportive services that can help them to overcome the circumstances and barriers in their lives that prevent them from securing and maintaining permanent housing situations. A shelter is not intended to become, nor should it be a long -term solution to homelessness, but a humanitarian measure that in the interest of public health offers basic protection from harm. 5. The American Planning Association and its Chapters should take a leadership role in educating planners and local government officials about the fair housing implications of local land use regulation. Reason to support: Zoning and subdivision regulations may contain measures that conflict with federal protections under the Fair Housing Act. Among the most common problems are ordinances restricting the number of unrelated individuals who may occupy a residence, standards for development that unduly restrict access by protected classes, and restrictions on supportive services provided within a residential unit. Planners and local governments must become more knowledgeable about the Fair Housing Act and its connection with land use to ensure that all citizens have equal access to appropriate, affordable housing. 6. The American Planning Association, its Chapters, and its Divisions (especially the Planning and Law Division and the Housing and Community Development Division) should collaborate to produce materials and promote activities to identify and remove barriers to affordable housing. Reason to support: Homeless individuals and families need affordable. and supportive housing. Local planners and planning commissioners need more training about affordable housing, supportive housing, and fair housing laws to create better planning decisions at the local level. They must be given the tools Page 8 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide to appropriately evaluate proposals, starting with a review of zoning and subdivision regulations that may present barriers to affordable housing. An understanding of fair housing law can assist local planners in making proper decisions. 7. The American Planning Association, its Chapters, and its, members should partner in educating planning commissioners and elected officials concerning the need for diverse housing types to serve the homeless and non - homeless special needs populations and provide tools to better evaluate housing proposals. Reason to support: APA should oppose neighborhood efforts to thwart housing for the homeless and non- homeless special needs populations on the basis of prejudices and fears concerning property values. APA should assist Planning Commissioners and elected officials with tools to objectively evaluate affordable housing and supportive housing proposals (e.g., Building Better Communities Network resources). 8. The American Planning Association and its Chapters support Federal, State, and local efforts to streamline existing programs and lower barriers to producing and preserving affordable housing and support efforts that provide incentives to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. Reason to support: As noted in the Millennial Housing Commission Report, in 1999 one in four households — an estimated 28 million — spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing, and one in eight low- income working families earning the equivalent of a full -time, minimum wage reported spending more than one -half of their income on housing. It is estimated that 1.7 million poor households live in substandard housing. Government at all levels should use the tools at their disposal to promote infill incentives, property tax abatement, density allowances, land assembly, and fast track permitting. 9. The American Planning Association and its Chapters should promote federal leadership in ending homelessness including increased and direct aid to states cities and localities, including coordination of federal efforts through the Interagency Council on Homelessness, funding for supportive services, and increased commitment to affordable, permanent housing. Reason to support: Federal support for homeless programs continues to be vital. Increased interagency coordination has resulted in better, more streamlined approaches to funding for homeless services and permanent housing, while emphasizing local determination in how programs are designed and delivered. Federal resources will continue to be critical in meeting the demand for the permanent housing that is needed by special needs populations, but cannot be built entirely without some sort of federal subsidy. 10. The American Planning Association and its Chapters support the establishment of a National Housing Trust Fund to serve as a source of revenue for the increasing the affordable rental - housing inventory (See APA Policy Guide on Housing, 1999). Reason to support: Federal support for the housing sector has been uneven, especially, in addressing the affordability challenge confronting many lower- Page 9 of 12 http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides/homelessness.htm 4/17/2003 Policy Guide income households. The affordable housing crisis severely affects extremely low - income families earning at or below 30 per cent of area median income. The proposed National Affordable Housing Trust Fund focuses specifically on targeting these low - income households. The Trust Fund should be used primarily for the production of new housing, preservation of existing federally assisted housing, and rehabilitation of existing private market affordable housing. Trust Fund dollars can be used to ensure economic integration, such as the production of new, mixed income housing. Legislation has a real goal of 1,500,000 housing units by 2010. 11. The American Planning Association and its Chapters support the establishment of State, Regional, and /or local housing trust funds with a permanently dedicated source of public revenue to support the production and preservation of affordable housing. Reason to support: There are over 150 housing trust funds in the United States. Recent statistics indicate that more than $500 million has been invested in affordable housing via these trust funds every year. These funds support a variety of housing activities that target homeless, low, and very low income households including new construction, preservation of existing housing, homeless shelters, housing- related services, and capacity- building for nonprofit housing organizations. These housing trust funds successfully demonstrate government's commitment to finding a solution to the nation's critical housing needs. Documented economic benefits of Housing Trust Funds include more employment opportunities, higher property tax revenues, and increased sales taxes. 12. The American Planning Association should join with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the Corporation for Supportive Housing, the National Coalition for the Homeless, and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty to encourage federal, state, and local interagency collaboration to end homelessness. Reason to support: Good planning requires close cooperation of all levels of government. APA's voice alone is not sufFcient to carry this message; partnership with other organizations will allow the planning agenda to demonstrate a broad base of support. 13. To implement the foregoing policies the American Planning Association and its Chapters recognize that some small fully developed communities may need intergovernmental agreements with adjacent or larger communities in meeting these needs.

Misconceptions about their nature and impacts abound although there is a wealth of scientific evidence that community residences for people with disabilities generate no adverse impacts on the surrounding community and function as residential uses. More recently the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988(3) prohibited zoning regulations of community residences that are based on unfounded myths and fears about the residents, and appeared to explicitly disallow the use of special use permits as the primary means of regulating community residences. Yet this misclassification and exclusion continues unabated throughout most of the nation. During the 1970s and 1980s, every state, as well as the federal government, started to reshape its policies toward people with severe disabilities. States recognized that warehousing people with disabilities in institutions was not only extremely costly, but also ineffective. A large proportion of those who were institutionalized could live in much less restrictive environments such as a familylike environment in a house or apartment surrounded by other residential uses. They did not require the high level of care furnished by an institution. Overwhelming evidence showed that allowing individuals with disabilities to live in a familylike setting in the community in a community residence was not only much less expensive than consigning them to institutions, but also substantially more effective. In a familylike setting, people with disabilities could learn the life skills we teach our own children on a daily basis. Living in a community residence, namely a group home or halfway house, fosters normalization in which these individuals learn to lead as normal a life as possible. As the courts have noted time and again, community residences are the very opposite of an institution in terms of how they function and perform, and in terms of how they use the land. To achieve a familylike setting, these community residences need to be located in the same residential zoning districts as dwellings occupied by biological families. Definitions Because there is so much misunderstanding of this subject, it is essential to first define several terms. Group Home A dwelling unit occupied as a single housekeeping unit in a familylike environment by up to approximately 12 to 15 persons with disabilities plus support staff. Residents are supervised by a sponsoring entity or its staff which furnishes habilitative services to the group home residents. A group home is owned or operated under the auspices of a nonprofit association, private care provider, government agency, or other legal entity, other than the From Washington A biweekly newsletter on federal legislative and public policy issues of interest to planners and communities.

Interrelationships between residents are an essential component of a group home. A group home imposes no time limit on how long an individual can reside in the group home. A group home is a relatively permanent living arrangement where tenancy is measured in years. The group home constitutes a family, a single housekeeping unit where residents share responsibilities, meals, and recreational activities as in any family. The intention is for group home residents, like members of a biological family, to develop ties in the community. Like people without disabilities, these individuals attend schools, work, and may receive other support services in the community. The group home staff is specially trained to help the residents achieve the goals of independence, productivity, and integration into the community. Together, the staff and residents constitute a functional family. (4) The group home's staff teaches the residents with disabilities the same life activities taught in conventional homes. They learn personal hygiene; shopping cleaning, laundry, and recreational skills; how to handle money; how to take public transportation; how to use community facilities. They learn how to live as a family. The group home fosters the very same family values our most exclusive residential zoning districts advance. The primary purpose of the group home is to provide a familylike setting with ongoing supervision and support for persons unable to live independently in the community. It is not a clinic where treatment is the principal or essential service provided. A treatment regime may be incorporated into the daily routine of persons with disabilities wherever they may live, whether with their families, in an institution, or in a group home. So, just like the person with a disability who lives with her family, the group home resident may have a daily habilitation regime to follow. Any treatment received at home is incidental to the group home's primary purpose. (5) Residency in a group home is long term relatively permanent and measured in years, not months or weeks. There is no limit on how long an individual can live in a group home. A group home can house people with developmental disabilities (mental retardation, autism, etc.), mental illness, physical disabilities, or addiction to drugs or alcohol. When the residents have a drug or alcohol addiction, the group home is called a recovery home. The number of individuals who live in a group home varies from just two or three to as many as 12 to 15, or in rare cases as many as 20. For people with developmental disabilities, it is felt that smaller homes are more productive. Group homes for people with mental illness tend to house six to 15 residents for both therapeutic and financial reasons. Group homes for the frail elderly can require as many as 20 residents to be financially and therapeutically sound. The maximum number of residents is determined by applying a jurisdictions housing code for residential uses to the property. Some group home residents graduate from this type of community living arrangement to live on their own with only occasional visits from professional staff. Most, however, will live out their lives in a group home. Recovery homes for people with drug or alcohol addictions are another type of group home. Occupants typically sign an annual lease and can live in a recovery home for years. A singlefamily residential district is essential for most group homes to succeed, although for some, a multiplefamily district can work. Group home operators want to establish group homes in the same sort of pleasant, safe neighborhoods you and I strive to live in, for the same reasons we seek them. Halfway house or recovery community Page 2 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides A temporary residential living arrangement for persons leaving an institutional setting and in need of a supportive living arrangement in order to readjust to living outside the institution. These are persons who are receiving therapy and counseling from support staff who are present when residents are present, for the following purposes: (a) to help them recuperate from the effects of drug or alcohol addiction (a disability); (b) to help them reenter society while housed under supervision while under the constraints of alternatives to imprisonment including, but not limited to, prerelease, work release, or probationary programs (not a disability); or (c) to help persons with family or school adjustment problems that require specialized attention and care in order to achieve personal independence (not a disability). Interrelationships between residents is an essential component of a halfway house. Residency is limited to a specific number of weeks or months. People with drug or alcohol addictions often need to live in a halfway house as a transitional living arrangement before they can live more independently in the community or return to their homes. The key for them is to learn to abstain completely from using drugs or alcohol. Treatment usually consists of an initial withdrawal period followed by intensive counseling and support both through treatment programs and through residential living arrangements. Such community residences are based on the group home model with some significant differences with implications for proper zoning regulation. The halfway house or recovery community helps people with drug or alcohol addictions readjust to a normal life before moving out on their own. A person with an addiction is admitted only after completing detoxification. The halfway house staff helps residents adjust to a drugfree lifestyle, learn how to take control of their lives, and learn how to live without drugs. Nearly all halfway houses place a limit, measured in months, how long someone can live there. Unlike a group home, the halfway house aims to place all its residents into independent living situations upon graduation. For both therapeutic and financial reasons, most halfway houses need 10 to 15 residents to be successful. Because the number of residents in a halfway house is greater than in a group home and their length of tenancy shorter, halfway houses more closely resemble multiplefamily housing than singlefamily residences, although, like group homes, they work best in singlefamily neighborhoods. (6) Disability A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of a persons major life activities, impairs their ability to live independently, or a record of having such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. Prison preparolees, for example, do not, as a class, fit this definition. Most people with disabilities do not require a community residence to live in the community. More than 80 percent of them live with their families or on their own with some support services. (7) Still, in 1990 over 3.9 million Americans had disabilities so severe that they were prevented from working at a job or doing housework or they required assistance with daily tasks like getting in and out of bed, dressing, bathing, shopping, or light housework, or had a developmental disability, Alzheimers disease, or senility making many of them appropriate candidates to dwell in a community residence.(s) This set of policy guidelines of the American Planning Association does not advocate for or against community residences, the broad term that includes group homes and halfway houses. It does not include hospices, emergency shelters, residences for victims of abuse, or other group living arrangements. (s) This policy guideline seeks to establish the maximum level of zoning regulation permissible for community residences for people with disabilities in accord with sound planning principles, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of Page 3 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /comnires.htm 4/24/2003 . Policy Guides 1988 (FHAA), and case law. These policy guidelines do not suggest that any community or state with less restrictive zoning provisions should make their zoning provisions more restrictive. Exclusionary zoning practices Limiting the number of unrelated individuals who can dwell together has been one of the most commonly used zoning techniques to exclude community residences from singlefamily districts. The definition of family in most zoning codes allow no more than three, four, or five unrelated individuals to occupy a dwelling unit. Some allow no unrelated people to live together, even as roommates.('O) The U.S. Supreme Court upheld these restrictive definitions in Village of Belle Terre v. Borass(") Since most community residences need six or more residents to succeed therapeutically and financially, this restriction has effectively blocked most community residences from locating in the residential areas in which they need to locate. Another common technique has been to require a special use permit for a community residence to locate in a residential district. (12) At a public hearing, an applicant must demonstrate that its proposed land use meets the criteria for granting a special use permit. d -n_ the- c- ase -o#- community- residences, neighbor -s- commonly - claim- that-the proposed community residence will reduce property - values -6hd` introduce crime and congestion -to -the neigh�l borhood! Many opponents assert that the community residence is a business rather than a dwelling.

When a special use permit is required, the buyer usually seeks to purchase the property with a clause that makes the sale contingent on receiving the special use permit. That sort of provision is quite common in the sale of commercial property, but extremely rare in the sale of owneroccupied residential property. Few homeowners can afford to sell their houses subject such a contingency clause. Most homeowners need the proceeds from the sale of their current house to buy a new one. Consequently, few homeowners are willing to sell to a group home operator who insists on this kind of contingency clause and few group home operators can afford to take the risk that their special use permit application will be denied and theyll be stuck with a house they cannot use as a group home. In 1974 the American Society of Planning Officials (one of APAs predecessor organizations) surveyed 400 U.S. cities and found that the zoning ordinances of fewer than 25 percent provided specifically for community residences. Of those that mentioned group homes or halfway houses, the vast majority either prohibited them from singlefamily districts or required them to obtain a special use permit to locate in such residential zones.(la) Ten years later, the zoning picture for community residences was still grim. The General Accounting Office found that 65.5 percent of the time local zoning Page 4 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides ordinances or practices prevented or made it difficult for group homes for people with developmental disabilities to locate in the singlefamily districts their operators preferred.(15) Subsequent recent research prior to adoption of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1488 found that little had changed.(16) Role Gf_the.Fa ing- Amendments.Act_of19M Rather than simply add people with disabilities to the list of protected classes under the Fair Housing Act, Congress added a new section to the act that declared discrimination includes: a ref usal`t make reasonable accommodation=s in rules, policies; °practices, -or-. services, _w,hen such accommodations may be necessary:to - afford-such person 1equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

This does not mean that they have a right to dwellings they cannot afford to buy or rent. It does not mean that a city must change its zoning to allow communes, boarding houses, or fraternities in its most exclusive singlefamily districts. But this provision does mean that a city is required to bend its zoning rules to enable members of the protected class, many of whom need a community residence living arrangement to live outside an institution, to establish such residences in singlefamily and multiplefamily zoning districts. And it means] that- a-city cannot impose-additio "al`ba`rriers to community residences for pr eople with - disabilities. - - - - - - - - Consequently, if a zoning ordinance defines family as any number of unrelated persons living together as a singlehousekeeping unit, the locality cannot impose any additional restrictions on community residences. A community residence which, of course, constitutes a singlehousekeeping unit with 12 unrelated residents complies with this definition of family. However, if a zoning ordinance places a cap on the number of unrelated people who can dwell together, the FHAA requires the local ordinance to make a reasonable accommodation to enable community residences for people with disabilities to locate in every zoning district where residences are allowed. While the FHAA does not mention zoning or group homes, its legislative history provides a clear picture of what the FHAA sought to accomplish: These new subsections would also apply to state or local land use and health and safety laws, regulations, practices or decisions which discriminate against individuals with handicaps. While state and local governments have authority to protect safety and health, and to regulate use of land, that authority has sometimes been used to restrict the ability of individuals with handicaps to live in communities. This has been accomplished by such means as the enactment or imposition of health, safety or landuse requirements on congregate living arrangements among nonrelated persons with disabilities. Since these requirements are not imposed on families and groups of similar size of other unrelated people, these requirements have the effect of discriminating against persons with disabilities. The Committee intends that the prohibition against discrimination against those with handicaps -apply to_ zoning - decisions- and - practices: T-he Act -is -1 intended to prohibit the application of special requirements through landuse regulations, restrictive_ covenants,-,and-conditional-or special use permits that J Page 5 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides have the effect of limiffn---g-he ability of such individuals -to- live in the residence I of their choice in the community iiglm[emphasis- added] -- ) The- legislative history goes on to suggest that restrictions on community residences that are based on fact, not fiction, may be legal. The paragraph that follows in the House Committee Report suggests that municipalities can impose rationallybased zoning regulations on community residences: Another method of making housing unavailable has been the application or enforcement of otherwise neutral rules and regulations on health, safety, and landuse in a manner which discriminates against people with disabilities. Suc discrimination often results- from-false -or ov6rprotective assumptions about theme needs of handicapped people, as wellas. unfounded- fears_of_diffcultes,about - _—_- t e problems that their tenancies may pose. These and sim_ filar practices would=. -�::n be prohibited.(19) The FHAA essentially codified the majority opinion of the courts regarding community residences. For more than 20 years, the vast majority of court decisions involving attempts to locate community residences in singlefamily zoning districts found community residences to be akin to the traditional family (20) and constitute functional families that belong in singlefamily zones unlike fraternities and sororities, communes, and other loose, temporary group living arrangements. (21) It is clear from court decisions under the FHAA that when a jurisdictions definition of family does not cap or limit the number of unrelated individuals who may occupy a dwelling unit the FHAA prohibits imposing additional zoning requirements on community residences for people with disabilities.(22) Unlike capless communities, jurisdictions that place a limit on the number of unrelated persons who can live together, can regulate community residences to an extent. Court decisions strongly suggest that zoning restrictions on community residences can be legal if you can answer yes to all three of the following questions: • Is the proposed zoning restriction intended to achieve a legitimate government purpose? • Does the proposed zoning restriction actually achieve that legitimate government purpose? • Is the proposed zoning restriction the least drastic means necessary to achieve that legitimate government purpose? In Bangerter v. Orem City Corporation, the Tenth Circuit articulated these questions a bit differently. The court stated that [r]estrictions that are narrowly tailored to the particular individuals affected could be acceptable under the FHAA if the benefits to the handicapped in their housing opportunities clearly outweigh whatever burden may result to them.(23) Findings 1 Community residences are a residential use of land. For zoning purposes, community residences are much closer in terms of land use to a residence ordinarily occupied by a conventional family than any other land use. The majority of courts have ruled that are a community residence is the opposite of an institution, boarding house, or a commercial use. 2 Com unity residences have no effect on the value of neighboring propertis^ rMo—re-than 50 studies have examined their impact on property values probably o thanyfor any other'small land use. Although they use a variety of methodologies, all researchers have discovered that group homes and halfay'� Page 6 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /conimres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides h3uses-dp not affect property values of even the house next door.}They have no- effect-on how-long-it takes to sell neighboring property, including the house next door. They have learned that community residences are often the best maintained properties on the block. And they have ascertained that community residences function so much like a conventional family that most neighbors within one to two blocks of the home don't even know there is a group home or halfway house nearby. (24) 3 Community residences have no effect on neighb orhood safety. A handful of studies have also looked at whether community residences compromise neighborhood safety. The most thorough study, conducted for the State of Illinois, concluded that the residents of group homes are much less likely to commit a crime of any sort than the average resident of Illinois. It revealed a crime rate of 18 per 1,000 people living in group homes compared to 112 per 1,000 for the general population. (25) 4 Community residences do not generate adverse impacts on the surrounding community -- - - - -� - Other studies have found that group homes and halfway houses for persons with disabilities do not generate undue amounts of traffic, noise, parking demand, or any other adverse impacts. (26) b thrFcommunity residences shoula e scattered ughout-reside-ntial districtts rather -than concentrated in any sing Ie.neighborhood- or -on -a- single - block. - - -1 For a group home to enable its residents to achieve normalization and integration into the community, it should be located in a normal residential neighborhood. If several group homes were to locate next to one another, or be placed on the same block, the ability of the group homes to advance their residents' normalization would be compromised. Such clustering would create a de facto social service district in which many facets of an institutional atmosphere would be recreated and would change the character of the neighborhood. Normalization and community integration require that persons with disabilities be absorbed into the neighborhood's social structure. The existing social structure of a neighborhood can accommodate no more than one or two group homes on a single block. Neighborhoods seem to have a limited absorption capacity for servicedependent people that should not be exceeded. (27) Social scientists note that this level exists, but they can't quite determine a precise level. Writing about serviced ependent populations in general, Jennifer Wolch notes, At some level of concentration, a community may become saturated by services and populations and evolve into a servicedependent ghetto. (28) According to one leading planning study, While it is difficult to precisely identify or explain, saturation is the point at which a community's existing social structure is unable to properly support additional residential care facilities [group homes]. Overconcentration is not a constant but varies according to a community's population density, socioeconomic level, quantity and quality of municipal services and other characteristics. Theme -no- -- u Div ser ally ac ecy ac pet det d criteria for determining how many group homes are-- -, appropriate for a given area. {29} +` Nobody knows the precise absorption levels of different neighborhoods. However, the research strongly suggests that as the density of a neighborhood increases, so does its capacity to absorb people with disabilities into its social structure. Higher density neighborhoods presumably have a higher absorption level that could permit group homes to locate closer to one another than in lower density neighborhoods that have a lower absorption level. (30) Page 7 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides This research demonstrates there is a legitimate government interest to assure that group homes do not cluster. While the research on the impact of group homes makes it abundantly clear that group homes a block or more apart produce no negative impacts, there is concern that group homes located more closely together can generate adverse impacts on both the surrounding neighborhood and on the ability of the group homes to facilitate the normalization of their residents, which is, after all, their raison dtre. 6 Community residences should be licensed or certified to protect the welfare of their residents. The individuals who occupy a community residence constitute a vulnerable population unable to fully care for themselves. Licensing helps ensure that the operator is qualified to furnish the requisite care and support services the group home residents need. It helps assure that staff is qualified and properly trained, and sets a minimum standard of care. The welfare of the residents of a community residence constitutes a legitimate government interest, narrowly tailored to the individuals who live in a group home, and whose benefits clearly outweigh whatever burden may result. Policy Positions Zoning is essentially performance oriented. When officials select the uses that are permitted as of right in each zoning district, they make the implicit assumption that these land uses belong in the district and do not generate adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. Special or conditional uses are those that belong in a district, but are known to produce adverse impacts under certain conditions unless precautions are taken. The extensive research on the impacts of community residences shows that they generate no adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhood as long as they are licensed and not clustered on a block. There is no need to subject community residences to special use permit procedures because the licensing and spacing threshold issues are purely factual questions that can be determined administratively and do not require the extra scrutiny of a special use permit hearing. General Policy Position Based on sound planning and zoning principles, the American- Planning A sociation recognizes that community reside es for people with disabilities afire residential uses that should be allowed as of right in all zoning districts where other residences are permitted uses .,When - the-proposed- community residence- complies -with -the jurisdictions-zoning code definition of family, no additional restrictions can be imposed. When the number of residents in the home exceeds the cap on the number of unrelated individuals set in the definition of family, the jurisdiction should amend its zoning code to make a reasonable accommodation to provide for community residences in all residential districts within the capacity of the jurisdiction to absorb additional community residences into its social structure. Specific Policy Positions Supported by the American Planning Association and its chapters ( r POLICY 1: A proposed community residence for people with disabilities (that complies with the jurisdictions definition of family should be allowed as of right in all residential districts under the definition of family. (Additional) Zoning requirements that are more restrictive than those applicable to residential uses in the underlying district are not permitted. By adding people with disabilities to coverage of the Fair Housing Act, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 effectively prohibits placing additional zoning requirements on a community residence for people with disabilities that Page 8 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /conunres.htm 4/24/2003 Policy Guides otherwise meets the zoning code requirements for other residential uses. POLICY 2: When a proposed group home for persons with disabilities does not comply with the jurisdictions definition of family, then the jurisdiction is required to make a reasonable accommodation in its zoning code to allow group homes for people with disabilities as of right in all residential districts if it meets these two requirements: 1. That a rationally based spacing requirement be provided to avoid an undue concentration of community residences and 2. When the proposed group home or its operator must be licensed or certified by the appropriate state, national, regional, or local licensing or certification body. If a proposed group home fails to meet both tests, then a zoning ordinance should allow the operator to apply for a special use permit. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 requires jurisdictions to make a reasonable accommodation to enable community residences for people with disabilities to locate in residential districts. Such accommodations must be the least drastic necessary to actually achieve a legitimate government purpose. Based on sound planning principles and the extensive evidence found by studies on the impacts of community residences, the American Planning Association believes that this approach outlined here constitutes the maximum permissible degree of zoning restrictions. A oneblock spacing distance appears to be long enough to assure that community residences achieve the normalization they seek for their residents and help preserve the residential character of a neighborhood. Concentrating or clustering several community residences on a block can recreate an institutional atmosphere exactly the opposite of what community residences seek to achieve. Since the residents of a community residence are a vulnerable population, requiring licensing or certification helps assure their welfare and safety in the least intrusive manner. Group homes include recovery homes for people with drug or alcohol addictions. Like other group homes, recovery homes are longterm residences that do not limit how long individuals may live there. They should not be confused with halfway houses for people with disabilities, including drug or alcohol addiction. POLICY 3: When a proposed halfway house for persons with disabilities does not comply with the jurisdiction's definition of family, then the jurisdiction is required to make a reasonable accommodation in its zoning code to allow halfway houses for people with disabilities as of right in all multiplefamily residential districts if the proposed halfway house meets these two requirements: 1. That a rationally based spacing requirement be provided to avoid an undue concentration of community residences and 2. When the proposed group home or its operator must be licensed or certified by the appropriate state, national, regional, or local licensing or certification body. If a proposed group home fails to meet both tests, then a zoning ordinance should allow the operator to apply for a special use permit. From a zoning perspective, halfway houses perform more like multiplefamily housing than singlefamily housing. They dont emulate a family quite as closely Page 9 of 13 http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm 4/24/2003 . Policy Guides as a group home does. They billet many more people. They place a limit on length of residency, unlike a group home which is a more permanent living arrangement akin to singlefamily housing. POLICY 4: Halfway houses should be allowed in all singlefamily zones by special use permit due to their multiplefamily characteristics that warrant the extra scrutiny provided by the special use permit or comparable review process when locating in a singlefamily district. On many occasions the operator of a halfway house may prefer to locate it in a singlefamily district. Halfway houses are not, per se, incompatible with singlefamily homes. However, the heightened scrutiny of a conditional use permit hearing is warranted to assure that a proposed halfway house will be compatible with the other land uses in a singlefamily district. The standards to apply are the same ones used for other special uses. POLICY 5: Local planners should, on an informal basis, seek to facilitate communication between the operators of proposed community residences and the surrounding community to help foster full integration of the residents of a community residence into the community. Planners should help neighbors learn how each proposed community residence emulates a family and how it serves as a residence that is properly located in a residential zone, not an institutional use that belongs outside residential districts. They should disseminate to neighbors and public officials the findings of the extensive research on the absence of adverse impacts of community residences on the surrounding community. Authority 1.

Turnbull, III, CommunityBased Residences for Mentally Handicapped People 12 (1980). Some courts have found this distinction to be crucial when determining that group homes function as families and are residential uses allowable in residential zoning districts. 6. Oxford House, which has been the subject of so much FHAA litigation falls somewhere between the group home and halfway house. Unlike the halfway house, Oxford House places no limit on the length of stay. Unlike a group home, or even halfway house, Oxford House has no staff. The residence is run by its officers who are elected periodically from among its residents. Unlike a group home, Oxford House needs 10 to 15 residents to function successfully, both therapeutically and financially. The courts have generally construed Oxford House to be a group home. 7.

This policy guideline focuses solely on the zoning treatment for group homes and halfway houses for people with disabilities, the two most common types of community residences. Other types of community residences may warrant zoning treatment different from that recommended here. 10 D. Lauber, Group Think, in Planning 11, at 12 (October 1995). 11. 416 U.S. 1 (1974). 12. Also known as a conditional use permit, the special use permit was designed to allow for extra scrutiny to be applied to land uses that belong in a zoning district, but that may generate adverse impacts unless certain conditions were observed.

General Accounting Office, Analysis of Zoning and Other Problems Affecting the Establishment of Group Homes for the Mentally Disabled 61 (1983). Several regional studies have also found that few municipal zoning ordinances provided for community residences. In 1983 it was found that only four of the 31 municipalities in the Seattle, Washington, area defined the term group home and that only three allowed them as a permitted use in even one residential district. Eighteen allowed them by special use permit in at least one zoning district, not necessarily residential, and 13 did not provide for them at M. RitzdorfBrozovsky, Impact of Family Definitions in American Municipal Zoning Ordinances 119, 214215 (1983) (unpublished dissertation, University of Washington). A California study found that not a single municipality in suburban San Francisco allowed group homes for more than five residents as a permitted use in residential districts; only one allowed group homes for five or less residents as a permitted use in all residential districts; two allowed them as a permitted use in some residential districts; nine allowed them as special uses in some residential districts; and seven did not allow group homes at all.

In New Yorks suburban Westchester County, only one of 33 communities allowed group homes as of right in residential districts. S.

Policy Guides judicial decisions involving community residences for people with disabilities and definitions of family and other zoning restrictions are cited there. Pre1988 decisions run three to one in favor of allowing community residences for people with disabilities in singlefamily districts despite restrictive definitions of family or requirements for a special use permit. This figure includes only those cases that involved community residences for people with disabilities, not other populations not subsequently covered by the 1988 amendments to the Fair Housing Act. 22, See, Oxford HouseEvergreen v. City of Plainfield, 769 F. Supp. 1329 (D.N.J. 1991) (since Oxford House complied with citys capless definition of family and there is no state license required to operate an Oxford House the city could not disallow the Oxford House from the singlefamily district in which it located); Support Ministries for Persons with AIDS v. Village of Waterford, New York, 808 F. Supp. 120 (N.D. N.Y. 1992) (city must issue the permits sought to establish home for persons with AIDS under definition of familyas opposed to boarding house); Merritt v. City of Dayton, No. C391448 (S.D.

MPZ118 96 Excerpt from Draft Woi ..,ession Minutes 12 -6 -99 , Presentation — Homeless Issue Briefing Police Chief Klein said all cities face homeless issues. CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Program) provides a helping hand to homeless individuals. While Pinellas County has an average of 3,200 homeless individuals each day, the 19 shelters only have 614 beds. He introduced CHIP's Pro ject Director is Carole Ciokiewicz and reviewed the program's background and collaboration with social service agencies such as the St. Vincent de Paul soup. kitchen, Salvation Army, the Clearwater Police Department, which maintains an on -site substation, Pinellas County, Veterans Administration, Gulf Coast Legal Aid, Community Pride Coordinated Child Care, etc. Since the shelter opened in April 1998, it has served more than 15,000 individuals. An average 75 daytime clients receive services including clothing, sandwiches, medical counseling, referrals, laundry, etc. The shelter's capacity is limited. The average stay is 8 days. Individuals work with a caseworker to develop a plan to find employment and locate a permanent residence. Some individuals remain homeless in spite of efforts. Police Chief Klein reported neighborhood residents and nearby businesses now applaud the community improvements. New construction is underway nearby. Pinellas County shelters are at capacity. The seasonal population increase leaves more families and individuals living on the streets. The downtown is primarily impacted although an increase of related problems have been reported in the City's eastern section and on the beach. The shelter provides a more effective deterrent to homelessness than law enforcement. He recommended the current program be maintained. Operating costs of FY 1999/2000 are budgeted at $326,000. Grant funds are diminishing while operating costs and client rates are increasing. He expressed the need for foundation .funding or corporate sponsorship. Police Chief Klein recommended the program be expanded to provide transitional housing for program participants who are moving from the shelter toward independence. Participants would continue to work with a CHIP caseworker on a savings and budget program, housekeeping and cooking skills, while maintaining employment and paying rent. He estimated a pilot program would cost $100,000 annually, excluding property acquisition and rehabilitation costs. He said anyone can become homeless. How the City handles these issues today will affect our community tomorrow. In response to a question, Police Chief Klein said homeless programs in other cities are relatively full every night. It was recommended the City link with other communities to address this issue. It was suggested funds could be raised from grants. Police Chief Klein noted grants often require a program match. The program cannot count on private contributions to continue. It was suggested the program needs a dedicated revenue source. Police Chief Klein said staff is exploring options at the County level, noting Dade County had implemented a restaurant tax for homeless related costs. The City Manager said Clearwater is responsible for the program. He supported the recommendation to expand the program, noting the need to consider future budget impacts. He said a program would be less expensive than depending on law enforcement interdiction. It was felt a Countywide solution should be considered with fair share contributions from smaller cities. r 7�. Excerpt from Draft Worksession minutes of 10 -16 -00 PD POLICE Approve donation to Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project, Inc. (CHIP) for funding of operations, in the amount $100,000 (Consent) The CHIP (Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project) Shelter opened in April 1998, and since that date has provided a safe overnight facility for homeless persons and essential support services to help individuals and families begin to improve their lives. The City donated the first $100,000 to CHIP in January 1998 and, at this time, the Police Department is requesting that the City continue its contribution to the shelter for operational funds which are still needed and are essential to CHIP's successful operation. Funding for this donation in the amount of $50,000 is available in the Special Program Project #181 - 99938, Homeless Shelter. The balance of $50,000 is funded in the Police Department's fiscal year 2000/01 operating budget. Police Chief Sid Klein said over 4,500 clients have been serviced by CHIP. As Tampa has closed its open feeding operation, Clearwater is seeing an abundance of homeless in downtown. Chief Klein confirmed there is a growing demand for family accommodations but only six available beds. Approximately two families per day are turned away. The City plans to continue to acquire funding at the State and Federal levels for operational costs. Concern was expressed the City must consider how large an operation CHIP should become. It was suggested Panhandlers be put to work. It was remarked the CHIP program requires participates to attend counseling and job training, and provides assistance to those who truly need it to become active citizens again.

Of the 287 properties in this area, property values changed as follows for the period from 1992: v 35 stayed the same 1 • 141 increased in property value • 111 decreased in property value A sampling of the largest declines indicated that only 14 properties accounted for 82% of the decreases in property values in the group of 111. These properties included city -owned property, the GTE site and the old Morrison's Cafeteria site. Similar facilities in operation in Orlando and Jacksonville have resulted in substantial crime rate decreases: • The I. M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless, located in downtown Jacksonville, opened in 1995. During the first year of the Center's operation, the area including the Center showed a 13.85% reduction in the crime rate (compared to a 3.4% reduction county -wide) according to the Office of the Sheriff of the Consolidated City of Jacksonville. • In Orlando, just a few blocks from the major tourist attraction Church Street Station, the Central Florida Coalition for the Homeless has built a campus to respond to the needs of the homeless in that community. By 1994, there had been a 40% decrease in misdemeanor crime and nuisance calls in the downtown Orlando area since the opening of the Coalition's Pavilion shelter in 1992. • Here in Clearwater, the institution of a registration program at the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen show decreases in several misdemeanor categories in the grid including the Soup Kitchen after the first year of the registration program's operation: Tyner of Call Percentage of Decrease Mentally disturbed 36% Burglary - Business 42% VandalisnVMisch 12% Larceny/Theft 9% Solicit/Panhandle 100% Drunk Pedestrian 47% City Ordinance Violations 7% CHIP members believe that an even further reduction of crime and, importantly, the "perception" of crime in the neighborhood will be accomplished with the establishment of the CHIP shelter and the community policing substation and bicycle patrols. COMPREHENSIVENESS OF APPROACH 2 Some Board members expressed concern that a much more regional, large scale approach was not being taken. In Pinellas County, we use a decentralized approach due to the number of different agencies and support organizations and the fact that there are 25 separate entities of local government in our county; but it is important to note that coordination of effort does occur. Pinellas County's common forum to assess and address the needs of the homeless is the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless, founded in 1985. The Coalition is a network of over 85 social service agencies, local government representatives and human service professionals that work with and advocate for the homeless and the disadvantaged in our area. In addition to meeting the immediate needs of the homeless by providing shelter, food and clothing, the Coalition members work together by sharing resources, forming action groups for advocacy and supporting efforts to end homelessness. The Coalition is an independent, community-based not - for -profit umbrella organization that provides public education, advocacy, program support, capacity building and technical assistance to the homeless service community and provides public awareness on the issue of homelessness. As Pinellas County attempts to meet the needs of its homeless population, the Coalition is the cornerstone of the coordination planning effort. Recognizing its important role as the primary coordinator for homeless issues in Pinellas County, the Coalition has taken the responsibility for the community's short and long term planning for homeless services. In fact, HUD Supportive Housing Program funding applications have been coordinated county-wide through the Coalition for the past two years. Since 1986, the Coalition has also been conducting surveys which describe the demographic characteristics of the homeless population served in Pinellas County. In order to do this more efficiently, the Coalition developed a county-wide intake form used by all homeless shelters in Pinellas County which provides data in a comparable form. The Coalition also surveys homeless service providers every year in order to inventory services provided and identify gaps in services to the homeless, thereby developing a county-wide needs analysis. The Coalition's mission is to end homelessness and return homeless people to self - sufficiency. Agencies that are active in the Coalition provide a host of vital services including outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing with supportive services, food and clothing, jobs and training, family services, protection, legal assistance, advocacy, mental health services, addiction treatment, medical and dental care and ongoing case management for a variety of high risk populations. Through its many activities, the Coalition plays an integral role in the development of the Consolidated Plan for Pinellas County. This plan is developed under the guidance of the Pinellas County Community Development Department for five year periods. The most recent plan is for 1995 -2000. In this county -wide plan the need for 3 new emergency shelter /transitional housing facilities is identified — one for south county, one for mid - county, and one for north county. The planned CHIP shelter has been acknowledged as addressing this need for north county. The CHIP facility will house up to 48 individuals on a daily basis. The capacity of the facility has been determined by the allowable zoning density and by the fact that the Pinellas County homeless philosophy does not support a concentration of homeless population in any one area. It is important to note that while CHIP proposes to follow the Orlando and Jacksonville homeless shelter models in general, there are some differences. First and foremost is the difference in size of facility. CHIP's proposed shelter will house up to 48 persons. Jacksonville's Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless provides emergency shelter, crisis intervention, basic human services and extensive case management for up to 400 homeless men, women, and children daily. Orlando's 3.3 acre campus is a 24 -hour facility which can house up to 700 individuals. The Pavilion section accommodates 500 homeless men, while the Homeless Center section accommodates 200 women, and children. Related to this size difference is the estimate of homeless persons for each community. In Pinellas County, the homeless number approximately 3,200 on any given day. The figures for Jacksonville and Orlando are approximately 2,600 and 2,500, respectively. Therefore, the capacity of CHIP's proposed shelter is much less that the two very large facilities. The Jacksonville shelter is a 30,000 square foot converted warehouse in the downtown area three blocks from the retail district. The Orlando shelter, again, is a large campus in the downtown area just a few blocks from Church Street Station. Further, each of the two larger shelters include an "open air" section for males which has more lax requirements (for example, no case management is required for the first 30 days of stay in Jacksonville). The clients sleep on floor mats which are removed during the day. CHIP's proposed shelter does not include this casual element. All persons staying at the CHIP shelter will be required to participate in the intervention program within a couple of days of arrival. Through the planned intervention program which will be operated by The Salvation Army at the CHIP shelter, homeless clients will receive comprehensive services coordinated through case management by a human services professional. The various agencies participating in the program will be providing alcohol and drug abuse counseling, mental and emotional health counseling, job search and job retention techniques, family counseling, medical and dental services, health related counseling, education planning, budget counseling and planning, assistance in obtaining Social Security benefits and other legal/financial benefits, follow -up and support. The participation of the Clearwater Housing Authority will enhance not only the overall physical facility management but also the placement of clients in transitional housing. The St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen participation will ensure coordination of all feeding programs, including those by other participating groups. The Salvation Army will be coordinating the intervention program and the provision of client services by all agencies. The participation of the City of Clearwater Police Department with a community policing substation on the premises will enhance both the security of the surrounding neighborhood and the shelter clients and facility. An additional component of this issue can be summarized in a question: Will the CHIPS project result in sufficient "bang for the buck" to justify its construction? Here are the facts: • The project is funded by the following groups, avoiding a "city taxpayer only" approach to the issue: St. Vincent de Paul Society, federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding through both the City of Clearwater and Pinellas County, federal Community 4 Oriented Police Services ( COPS) Grant funding, and contributions by other agencies. Further, efforts to obtain additional capital and continuing support are ongoing . e The project is the City's first comprehensive approach to the homeless issue. Instead of providing for basic food and shelter needs only, the center will offer job placement and counseling services, mental and physical health treatment and referrals, transitory and low /mod housing placement, and family services for qualified individuals and families in a controlled environment. This will allow many of the issues raised by Board members and the public to be addressed.

I assure you that it is the goal of the Clearwater Police Department to promote a safe and healthy environment for all citizens in Clearwater. In furtherance of this goal, the police department has partnered with other social agencies to provide a broad approach to the problem. As this is an ongoing endeavor, occasional modifications must be made in our approach. Currently, the Clearwater Police Department and the CHIP program are in the process of obtaining federal funding that will allow for an increased officer presence in this area. The federal funding will also allow the CHIP program to provide more extensive assistance to these homeless individuals, which will facilitate their return to the mainstream of society. I'm sure you will support these efforts to help those less fortunate than us to become productive members of our society. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to address your concerns. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Lieutenant Donald Hall, District II Commander, at (727) 562 -4120.

You really didn't address my concerns. How does federal tax dollars solve the Clearwater bums and homeless population? Do Clearwater tax payers pick up the bill when your federal tax money runs out? Who compensates the business and property owners in the area for loss of revenue and property values? Does the federal tax payers package offer these solutions? I have been dealing regularly with the bums and homeless since I purchased the property at Garden and Cleveland Streets. You say "this is an ongoing .endeavor and occasional modifications must be made in our approach," What does this mean? How marry tax dollars are we willing to waste for your homeless population? How many tax dollars have been spent since 1983 in Clearwater to try and solve your "modifications" for the homeless? How many of Your homeless have become productive members of our society? For how long? For how much per head? Chief you can't mix oil and water. Many other communities have elected to adopt a zero tolerance and relocation programs for bums and homeless, out of their towns that have proven extremely successful. Please . give me specific answers to my questions with factual data to back upIyour answers. Most of your officers are not interested in the homeless issue. Why have you assigned this task to Lt. Donald Hall? . cc Bill Horner City Manager Sincerely, Gilbert Janneui OD optometrist Main Office: 909 S. Ft.

Johnson, Jr., Esquire Johnson, Blakely, Pope, Bokor Ruppel & Burns, P.A. 911 Chestnut Street Clearwater, Florida 34617 -1368 For the City: Leslie K. Dougall -Sides Assistant City Attorney City of Clearwater Post Office Box 4748 Clearwater, Florida 34618 -4748 For Applicant: R. Carlton Ward, Esquire Richards, Gilkey, Fite, Slaughter, Pratesi & Ward, P.A. Richards Building 1253 Park Street .Clearwater, Florida 34616 STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE The issue in this case is whether the appeal from the decision of the Planning and Zoning.Board granting the conditional use permit application of the Society of St. Vincent dePaul of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., in the Board's Case No. CU 96=46 should be granted. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT On or about August 20, 1996, the Society of St. Vincent dePaul'of Upper Pinellas County, Inc., (the Society) filed an application for conditional use approval. for a proposed residential shelter for homeless persons as well as for a police substation facility at its property located at 1339, 1341 and 1345 Park Street in the City of Clearwater. The application was considered by the City's Planning and Zoning Board (the Board) at meetings on October 15 and November 5, 1996. The Board approved the application, subject to certain conditions. On November 18, 1996, Mary Schuh, Brian Schuh, Clark Hubbard, Pat A. Wilson, Jonas 0. Brumett, Dr. Gilbert Janelli, and Save Our Neighborhood, an unincorporated association, filed a Notice of Appeal from the Board's decision. Under Section 36.065 of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code), the appeal was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings on November 26, 1996, along with a copy of the record of the 4 F The Application 2. Since approximately 1991, the Society has operated a soup kitchen on the:part of the property zoned CG fronting on Park Street. The soup kitchen is a permitted use at this location. The continued operation of the soup kitchen is not at issue in this proceeding. 3. The Society wishes to build and operate a 48-bed homeless shelter on the remainder of the property,,zoned.CG located adjacent to the soup kitchen at the western terminus of Park Street, in conjunction with a new police substation facility. (There is an existing residence on some of the RM 12 property fronting on Pierce Street adjacent to and south of the existing soup kitchen; the remainder of the property facing Pierce Street will be used for new parking.) Both the residential shelter and the police substation facility are permittable conditional uses in.CG and RM zones requiring an application for conditional use approval. 4. As proposed, the police substation facility would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. Initially, the operation will be financed by a federal Department of Justice COPS grant; the City has committed to continue funding for future years. 5. As proposed, the residential homeless shelter would serve primarily single males and females, but there will be a separate 4 -to -6 bed component for use by families as needed. The average length of stay at the shelter is projected to be eight 4 f proceedings below. After the filing of responses to the Initial Order in the case, a Notice of Hearing was issued on December 23, 1996, scheduling final hearing for January 29, 1997, in Clearwater. At final hearing, the tapes, minutes and exhibits from the Planning and Zoning Board proceeding were received into evidence.' the Appellants called five witnesses and had Appellants' Exhibits 1 through 8 admitted into evidence in their. case -in- chief. Government Exhibit l was admitted into evidence during the Appellants' presentation. The Applicant called three witnesses and had Applicant's Exhibit l admitted into evidence. The City called one witness and had Government Exhibits 1 through 20 admitted in evidence. Appellants' Exhibit 9 was admitted into evidence during the City's presentation. The Appellants recalled two witnesses in rebuttal. After the presentation of the evidence, the parties were given 15 days in which to file proposed final orders. Timely proposed final orders were filed by the Appellants and by the City. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Society owns property in Clearwater zoned CG (General Commercial) and RM 12 (Residential Multi Family). The part of the property zoned CG fronts on the south side of Park Street and its adjacent western terminus; the part of the property zoned RM 12 fronts on Pierce Street and is adjacent to and south of the CG property. 3 days. Restrooms will be available during day and evening hours for use of residents. 6. The shelter will operate under the terms of a Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) community block grant. Funding under the grant is contingent on the establishment of the proposed police substation. Under the grant, users of the soup kitchen would be required to register. Registrants will undergo a police background check and will be "trespassed" from the facility.and.not allowed to use either the soup kitchen or the shelter if a criminal record is discovered. If eligible, registrants will be required to enter the CHIP program. (Not all users of the soup kitchen are homeless, and entry into the CHIP program will not be required if local residence can be proven:) 7. Upon entry into the CHIP program, shelter residents would be required to participate in CHIP intervention programs. These would include mental health and drug and alcohol abuse counseling and treatment (where appropriate) , job skill.training and assistance in obtaining employment, and assistance in obtaining housing. The goal of the CHIP program is to transition participants back into productive jobs and permanent housing. 8. Participants in CHIP would have to follow the requirements of its programs, as well as follow "good citizenship" house rules of the homeless shelter (which includes the requirement to remain sober), in order to continue to receive the services of the homeless shelter and soup kitchen. The unacceptable behaviors of some current users of the soup kitchen - including public urination and defecation, public 5 drinking, panhandling and solicitation for prostitution - -would not be tolerated. If a program participant violates CHIP's rules, "he /she will be restricted from returning to the shelter for some period of time depending on the number of times and severity of offenses." Board Action 9. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the Society's conditional use approval application at length.- at.its meeting I on October 15, 1996, but continued the matter to give its. staff.time to answer questions raised at-the meeting. Staff provided additional information, and the application was considered again at length at the Board's meeting on November 5, 1996. By a vote of 4 -3, the Board approved the application subject to the following conditions, which.were designed in large part to address concerns of the Appellants: 1. The applicant shall obtain the requisite building permit, certificate of occupancy and occupational license within nine months from the date of this public hearing; 2. All site lighting shall be equipped with a 90 degree mechanism, with the light being directed downward and away from adjoining residential properties and street rights -of -way, and additional lighting will be installed to better illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; 3. A sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street shall be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; 4. The residential shelter is only allowed while the police substation and other referral services are provided at this location; 5. Approval shall be for a trial period of three years from the date of this public hearing, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use ;. 6. Efforts shall be made on behalf of the CHIP organization to contact specified neighborhood representatives to coordinate and communicate issues 6 and information on a regular basis; and 7. Fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code shall be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The Appellants raise no issue as to the approval of the proposed police substation facility as a conditional use; they only oppose the decision to approve the proposed homeless shelter as a conditional use. Compatibility with Surrounding Area 10. The area in which the subject property is located could not be characterized as a residential neighborhood. (A residential shelter would not be a permittable conditional use in a single- family zoning district.) Rather, it is in an area of mixed land use. Existing land uses within 1000 feet-of the site include office, school, utility facilities, park, indoor retail, motel, restaurant, bar /tavern, personal services, and vehicular service, in addition to single - family residential and multi- family residential. 11. Perhaps most significant for purposes of the decision in this case, the proposed property is located next to the Society's soup kitchen, which is a permitted use that has been existence at the site since approximately 1991. There clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that a homeless shelter next to an existing soup kitchen is a compatible use. It may well be that the homeless shelter would not be compatible with the surrounding area if it were not for the pre- existing soup kitchen, but those are not the facts. 12. The Appellants question the compatibility of a homeless 7 shelter next to a bar and near convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased, since almost 60% of homeless individuals in upper Pinellas County in 1995 were abusers of alcohol. But there was no evidence that there are any possible locations for a homeless shelter in the City of Clearwater where beer and wine cannot be purchased relatively conveniently. (There probably are residential areas where it would be relatively inconvenient to buy beer and wine, but:a homeless shelter would.rot be permittable there.) Besides, the presence of the soup kitchen next door is, enough to sustain the Board's decision that the homeless shelter is a compatible use, even with the nearby bar and convenience stores where beer and wine can be purchased. Adverse Impacts from Soup Kitchen 13. All of the adverse - impacts on nearby property complained of by the Appellants are impacts from the operation of the soup kitchen. The homeless who trespass by walking through private property near the subject property from Cleveland Street, and from other directions, to the soup kitchen are, obviously, users of the soup kitchen. Other adverse impacts from users of the soup kitchen include: ._damage to and burglary of and sleeping in and on private property near the subject property; monopolizing the nearby Cleveland Street bus stop; loitering and littering and drinking in public on both private and public property in the area; urinating and defecating and panhandling and soliciting for prostitution on both private and.public property in the area. 14. These adverse impacts from the operation of the soup 8 kitchen, in addition to the mere presence in public of those homeless users of the soup kitchen who look and smell bad, are what has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. The evidence was that, on the average over a larger radius of 1000 feet from the soup kitchen, there is no trend of decreasing property values as a result of.the presence of the soup kitchen at this time; but, in fairness, that is not to say that, even over this larger area, the presence of the soup kitchen, and those who use it, would not adversely impact the potential to increase property values, for example from efforts at redevelopment and revitalization in the area. Positive Impact of Homeless Shelter 15. Given the pre- existence of the Society's soup kitchen, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the proposal to build and operate a homeless shelter next door, especially with the conditions imposed by the Board, would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. 16. There was sufficient evidence to sustain the Board's decision that, with the homeless shelter, 48 of the'homeless now living in the streets and causing negative impacts on the neighborhood will be off the streets and, as long as they follow the rules of the shelter, will not be contributing to those impacts. Cf. Finding 13, supra. 17. As conditions on its approval of the application, the Board has required: (1) that a sidewalk interconnection to Cleveland Street be constructed to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding residential areas; (2) that additional lighting be 9 e installed to better -- tter illuminate the perimeter of the site adjacent to non - residential areas prior to issuance of the requisite occupational license; and (3) that fencing to the maximum height allowed by City code be installed on all sides of the property to control site access prior to the issuance of a. Certificate of Occupancy. These measures also should help ameliorate the negative impacts of both the residents of the homeless shelter and other users o_ the soup kitchen. 18. There also was evidence that there has been a substantial decrease in crime in the vicinity of new-homeless shelters in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida. `The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that a similar decrease in crime would occur in the vicinity of the Society's proposed homeless shelter. (Also supporting such an inference was evidence that virtually no complaints have arisen out of the operation of the 15 -bed emergency shelter which the Salvation Army has operated at 900 Pierce Street for the preceding 18 months and at another location for the 18 months before that, or out of the operation of any homeless shelter operated by Barbara Green of Everybody's Tabernacle Homeless Emergency Project over the last 30 years.' 19. In the face of this evidence, the Appellants could only respond by raising the specter of an influx of homeless from all over Pinellas County (and even the country) attracted by the combination of the soup kitchen and the homeless shelter, in numbers that will exceed the homeless shelter's capacity. There was no evidence on which to base such a projection, and the Board Ll was entitled to treat this concern as being speculative. 20. There was evidence that, unlike some other communities, Pinellas County uses a decentralized method of shelter location at spots throughout the County and that this policy has succeeded in avoiding overburdening any one area. The Board was entitled to infer from this evidence that the addition of the Society's proposed homeless shelter would cause all of the homeless in Pinellas County to abandon the many other shelters'in the County to live on'the streets in the vicinity of the Society's proposed n shelter while admission. 21. The Board also was entitled to infer that, logically, if the homeless shelter attracts any additional homeless, it will attract those hopeful of acceptance into the CHIP program and that these individuals would.be willing to abide by the strict rules of behavior required of homeless person wanting to be accepted. Positive Impact of the Police Substation 22. In addition to the evidence on the positive impact of the proposed homeless shelter itself, there clearly was evidence to sustain the Board's decision that the combined proposal of a homeless shelter and a police substation facility will would have a positive impact on the neighborhood. As proposed, the police substation would base a force of six specially trained volunteers to use community policing and bicycle patrol methods to supplement current police strength in the area. The Board clearly was entitled to infer from this evidence that crime and other negative impacts to the neighborhood likely will be reduced . y from - curYen levels Three -Year Trial Period 23. As an additional protection for the neighboring property owners, the Board attached a three -year trial period as a condition to its approval, after which a new conditional use permit.review will be required for the residential shelter use. The Commission's Decision 24. The Appellants argue that policy allegedly.set by the City Commission requires the reversal of the Board's decision. They argue that this policy is reflected in a Commission decision to deny an application to amendment the City's comprehensive plan to change the future land use designation of the property adjacent and immediately to the west of the subject property from commercial to public facility to allow for use as.a church and school. The evidence actually reflects the City Commission's concern that the existence of .a. church and school on the site would make it more difficult for commercial properties within 200 feet to obtain condition use approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages for lounges and restaurants. The City's decision not to amend its comprehensive plan did not establish policy to control the conditional use approval at issue in this case. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 25. Under Section 36.065(6) of the City of Clearwater Land Development Code (the Code): (a) The hearing officer' shall review the record and testimony presented at the hearing before the board and the hearing officer relative to the guidelines for consideration of conditional uses 12 V or variances as contained in chapter 41, article II, or chapter 45, respectively. Although additional evidence may be brought before the hearing officer, the hearing shall not be deemed a hearing de novo, and the record before the board shall be incorporated into the record before the hearing officer, supplemented by such additional evidence as may be brought before the hearing officer. (b) The hearing officer shall be guided by the city comprehensive plan, relevant portions of this Code and established case law. (c) The burden shall be upon the appellant to show that the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before. the board and before the hearing officer, or that the decision of the board departs from the essential requirements of law. In this case, the Appellants argue that "the decision of the board cannot be sustained by the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer."' 26. Section 41.033 of the Code provides, in pertinent part: A conditional use shall be approved by the board only upon determination that the application and evidence presented clearly indicate that: (1) The use complies with the land use plan. (2) The use complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code. (3) The use complies with the applicable conditional use standards for the proposed use contained in division 3 of this article. (4) The use shall be consistent with the community welfare and not detract from the public's convenience at the specific location. (5) The use shall not unduly decrease the value of neighboring property. (6) The use shall be compatible with the surrounding area and not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent uses or on community facilities or services. The Appellants argue in this case that the evidence before the board and before the hearing officer cannot sustain the board's decision that the application for conditional use approval in, 13 th -i-s case met�the requirements of— Section 41.033 (2) , (3) , (4) , (5) and (6) of the Code. 27. As for Section 41.033(2) and (3) of the Code, other provisions of the Code applicable in this case include Section 41.052, which provides in pertinent part: The standards in this section shall apply to all uses which are identified in this development code as conditional uses. Only those uses which comply with all of the standards contained in this section may be approved. (7) The use shall be consistent with the community_ character of the properties surrounding the use. The criteria in this subsection shall be utilized to determine whether the use satisfies this standard: (a) Whether the use is compatible with the surrounding natural environment; (b) Whether the use will have a substantial detrimental effect on the property values of the properties surrounding the conditional use; (c) Whether the use will be compatible with the surrounding uses as measured by building setbacks, open space, hours of operation, building and site appearance, architectural design and other factors which may be determined appropriate to assess the compatibility of uses; (d) Whether the traffic generated by the use is of a type or volume similar to traffic generated by the surrounding uses. 28. The key to properly deciding this appeal is the recognition that much of what the Appellants object to already exists as a result of the Society's existing soup kitchen, and denying this application for a homeless shelter and police substation will not change those conditions. Meanwhile, as found, there was sufficient evidence both before the Board and before the hearing officer to sustain the Board's decision that granting the application will help alleviate the Appellants' complaints, not exacerbate them, especially in view of the 14 V conditions placed on the conditional use approval granted by the Board. The requirement of a three -year trial period, after which a new conditional use permit review will be required for the residential shelter use, is an additional protection for the neighboring property owners. DISPOSITION Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the appeal is denied, and the Board's decision is upheld.

The Appellants make much of the Society's need for a small easement from a neighboring property owner in order to comply with the sidewalk condition. But the possibility that the Society will not be able to comply with the condition is not a ground to overturn the Board's decision. Rather, it would be a compliance issue that is more appropriately resolved in another forum. 3. in fairness to the Appellants' position, it should be pointed out that none these homeless shelters had a soup kitchen attached. 15 4. -The Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) has entered into a contract to serve as "hearing officer" under the City's Code. As a result of Chapter 96 -159, Laws of Florida (1996), former DOAH hearing officers are now called administrative law judges. The City's Code has not yet been revised to reflect the title change. 5. Under this curious hybrid procedure, a board decision apparently can be sustained even if not sustainable by the evidence before the board if sustainable by a -combination of the evidence before the board ac3:the evidence before the hearing officer (and'never before seen by the board). The opposite corollary to this curious procedure is that the board's decision can be reversed as not sustainable by the evidence based upon evidence presented for the first time before the hearing officer COPIES FURNISHED: Timothy A.

Box 4748 Clearwater, FL 33758 -4748 To Whom it May Concern: 1 am in receipt of a notice regarding the increase in the C.H.I.P. residential shelter for the homeless. This letter is notification to you of a "NO VOTE" for anymore increa t in the'amount of homeless units in this 1pcation. I own the office building at 1275 - 1279 Cleveland street. We have had a constant problem with the homeless urinating on our building, sleeping under the shrubs in our gardens, having drinking parties, across the street from the Fina gas Station that sells them beer, and are `pan- handling" our patients'for money - My patient's are doneerned about this foot traffic from morning to night and feel "unsafe" walking from the parking lot to the office building - The Police Department phone number is "posted" at our Front Desk for calling the police as this has become such a regular problem., Is this anyway to have to operate a business on the main"' street'? The value of my office building is affected by this traffic of homeless and drunks up and down Cleveland street and we reject the idea of adding more units to increase our problem by attracting more homeless. Why would you provide this type of facility and service to the homeless in the "downtown" area of Clearwater?? Have a look at Central Ave in St.Petersburg where one has been for years, you can't tell me it has improved anything in the past 20 years there.

Two "graduates" of tli.e shelter have been residents in or'ke of rr.iy buildings for four years.

I would like to share with you some data and thoughts I have about the homeless crisis mi downtown Clearwater. First, I encourage you to obtain the data on the homeless in Pinellas County. It is shocking and quite disturbing! Are the numbers truly accurate? Are the numbers distorted_ to impress funding sources? Is the definition of homeless really accurate? I have enclosed recent police stats on the downtown area, which closely follows the C.R.A. boundaries which the city is trying desperately to help redevelop. Does this look like an area I would invest my money in for major redevelopment? Also enclosed are all the dollars being spent by the city on homeless intervention over the past few years, this is stagering. How many homeless have been rehabilitated successfully through these various programs? How many dollars per head are being spent? Some suggestions and questions that should be answered: 1.) Whai are the total dollars being spent by public, private, and nonprofit agencies on the homeless in the city. 2.) Clearwater adopting a non friendly homeless policy similar to many other cities. 3.) Contracting with other cities to feed, bathe, clothe, and attempt to rehabilitate this group of people, similar to what Key West is doing with Miami. rou s in Pinellas County 4.) Form a coalition made up of all homeless financial supporting g p to include all public, private, and non - profit groups to centralize the homeless problem. 5.) Pass land -use zoning changes that prevents homeless related services to locate in areas that will deteriorate business, property values, lifestyles and moral standards of our citizens, visitors, and tourists. Create a compound in mid county industrial park that is Sam's Club for the homeless. This could be located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, or Manatee County. 6.) Eliminate all City of Clearwater financing to any homeless project. Many services are duplicated by other agencies. Kitchen and C.H.LP. Center. You can't successfully allow 7.)

Associated Press KEY WEST — City officials have devised a plan to rid this island1tourist spot of homeless: pay shelters and homeless outreach centers 150 miles north in Miami -Dade County to take them in. Last week, the city mailed out its proposal to a dozen centers in Miami -Dade. "Me city of Key West would pay transportation of the unfortu- nate individuals who need emer- gency shelter to your location and pay you a daily fee for a set time," wrote John Jones, Key West's as- sistant city manager. The City Commission would have to approve the plan, if there were any takers. The Rev. Ronald Brummitt, di- rector of the 214 -bed Miami Res- cue Mission, said his facility might give the proposal some thought. "They want them out of their back yard," Brummitt said. "If they waitt us to do services for them, there has to be dollars for that, but maybe we could work something out." Jones' proposal is one of several to control the homeless situation in Key West. For years city administrators have sought to prod out the home- less who gravitate south during the winter months and end up sleeping in mangroves, under bridges and in boats, panhandling tourists and overrunning city beaches. "Kev West has few shelters for unfortunates of any type and no emergency shelter," Jones said in the letter to Miami -Dade shelters. "There are no vacant areas on which for legal, environmental or safety reasons they can stay." A "homeless census" conduct- ed in April counted at least 2,151 people. in Monroe County, and about 861 who lived in Key West. A number of tent cities have sprouted along thick ,groves on Key West's ocean side and the perimeter o salt ponds next to the city's airport. There aren't any emergency shelters for homeless men in the Florida Keys, said the Rev. Steve Braddock, president and executive director of Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, a group that assists the homeless. Braddock's group operates a transitional facility in Key West that has about 100 beds for home- less men. rna cr acilit women, children and the c mentally disabled are sc throughout Monroe Count Jones said ho is trying i up public support for an er cy homeless shelter in Ke But it has been slow going that long ago priced out its class. r FROM FAX NO. : Jul. 15 2003 10:41AM P1 Martin Altner AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAV 212 Water View Court • Safety Harbor, Fl. 34695 • Tolophone 727 -796 -9573 • Fax 727- 798 -1692 DATE July 14, 2QU name CCi by of Clearwater) Cif Eger Bill "—" fax #562-405 pages (including cover) 4 Please_ a and- d-i�ibu�tc- t- o__t_h_e__members of the Comm�ti�gW� `616 iiiient Board . you, and FLb2003 -02010 rior tO the 1PM meethik.

We in the Eastern. "gateway" to the City, property owners and renters alike, are confronted with a well intentioned but misguided government policy that, unfortunately, has ignored that duty to protect our rights, both in regard to property and our persons. Simply put, it is a well accepted fact, whether in the renting of $5,000 a month condos on the beach or $415 a month apartments, that short term renters (classified as transients) are more likely to show a lack of respect for property and neighborhoods and, therefore, ,pct in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of such property and neighborhoods. There is an attempt at the beach occurring now to limit the renting of condos for less than 1 year, because of this fact. Transients who have no residence or do not reside in an area have even less reason to respect property rights and the responsibility of all to maintain a neighborhood properly. So, why would the city encourage transient presence and consequent behavior in, of all places, a residential area and compound that behavior by inviting transients, in this case homeless, who the City admits have severe problems and require mental as well as physical help, to that area, not only for overnight stays, but, also, for homeless "day care," after which most are sent back out onto those very same residential streets to survive fnr another night. Why would the City then allow these transients to follow a route to the facility that marches right through the residential neighborhood, even allowing the back r FROM : FAX NO.

Also, the residential nature of Pierce St. must be understood for what it is. I hope, no assume, that those on the CDB who support the concept of a homeless "campus" in this neighborhood have walked through the neighborhood, as I do in Safety Harbor when an issue is contentious, as a Member of the Planning and 'Zoning Board there. This neighborhood houses those working class and lower middle class individuals and families that are struggling to survive and better themselves to fulfill their "American dream" The families, including but not limited to many recent immigrants from Mexico, have many children that play outside much of the time. Consequently, the facilities are completely inappropriate here. Think about it, please, for the sake of these children. Would you move to an area to raise your children or grandchildren and feel comfortable doing so if the street in front of your home had become a route for deviants from social norms, some of whom can have violent or other potentially dangerous tendencies? Finally,, specifically in regard to my adjoining property to the CHIPS center at 1338 Pierce St., although I cannot tell you if the fence that adjoins the backyard of my company's residential apartment building to the rear of the Center was. actually built by CHIPS, a prior owner of the CHIPS property or a prior owner of Spanish Gardens, I can tell you that the only party maintaining it is me. Also, my backyard has become the chosen route for those who wish to enter the CHIPS facility undetected by slipping through the gate; (now locked), hopping the fence, or ripping off slat to make it possible to slip through, despite clearly posted "no trespassing" signs. I, also, have, repeatedly, confronted individuals that come to the back of my property seeking easier or undetected access to CHIP. Some have even ripped open the bottom of the locked aluminum shed in the back of the property so that they could sleep in it overnight (now double locked). This traffic through my backyard is troublesome for many reasons, most importantly, the safety of the residents, adults and many children, who reside peacefully in the complex. It also, specifically, diminishes my ability to secure rents that would normally be associated with the kinds of apartments contained in Spanish Gardens, because one of the attractive features of the building is the treed backyard and side yards, all of which have patios and sliding glass doors for access to the patios or back access to the apartments. Unfortunately, these patios are not used to the extent that they would be under normal conditions because of the fear of intrusion by non- residents of the building. and the sliding glass doors become a negative element for prospective renters concerned about security. I have constructed fencing on both sides of the front of the building, both posted with "no trespassing signs," but the intrusions continue, with the latest personally witnessed by me occurring last Wednesday, July 9. Also, in the past 3 months, St. Vincent's Depaul fellt obligated, and we very much appreciate their action, to place a small length of fence across the side stoop of their adjoining property to the East, because of homeless persons congregating there, and the resulting presence of litter (including used condones) and intimidation of tiny tenants as they enter Spanish Gardens through the side yard.

One of the "clients" of the facility had parked it there and moved after the intervention of Sergeant Tienbig, although initially into my parking lot, until I explained that it, also, was off limits to any but residents (it is, also, clearly posted). I find that I am forced to be constantly on watch at the building for problems of this sort which, although minor in and of themselves, cumulatively aggregate to a stupendous pain in the neck that affects my quality of life, the quality of life for my tenants, decreases the value of my property and my ability to rent these apartments at market value. I support the continuation of the CHIPS program. Please move it and the adjoining soup kitchen to a more suitable area that we can all support instead of allowing it to continue it is a yisance danger to neighborhood residents.

Myrtle Ave. Clearwater, Fl. 33756 Attention: Community Development Board Members Subject: CU96 -46, FLD:2003 -02010 Dear Board Members; The C.D.B. recommended approval of the original conditional use application for the CHIP facility in 1996 with 7 conditions, by a 4 -3 vote. Most of the conditions were designed to allay the realistic concerns of local residents and property owners in regard to safety, disruption of the adjoining neighborhoods, and property values. For approval to again be given, CHIP should, at least, be required to demonstrate that it has taken the concerns of the C.D.B, in 1996 seriously and done everything it could to meet the conditions properly. However:: • 1. Condition 3 was never implemented properly. It specifically called for a sidewalk: interconnect to Cleveland St. "to reduce pedestrian traffic in surrounding areas." The fact that one route was deemed "cost prohibitive" (by whom and what exactly does this tnean`� and another "owned by a thud party" does not change the obligation to construct the sidewalks interco-. -inect where it. was required to be, despite, with all due respect:, the opinion of Mr. Shuford, who, obviously, ignored the specific condition set by the Board. If signs were posted they are not there now (one survives on Cleveland St_) and the result of the lack of compliance for the interconnect and signs is a flow of homeless up and down Pierce St., a completely residential street never mentioned in the Staff' report, which border the CHIPS facility to tht; South, and whose residents and property owners suffer as a result of the existence of CHIPS and the soup kitchen, which allows entry through the parking lot gate accessed from Pierce St.. • 2. Condition 5 was not met until today, and the need for compliance with this condition was not attempted until the new application for expansion had come before this Beard and it was pointed out that it, could not. be, properly heard until the original condition for review in 1999 was met, not in 1999, but 4 years later, in 2003.1 dare to say that there would be no review occurring now had the new application not been .made. So. how is this compliance? Do four year windows of compliance for review exist in any other cakes, especially controversial ones? • 3. Condition 6 was, basically, ignored as detailed by Mr_ Schuh and Dr. Jannelli, who were neighborhood representatives that were never met with after the facility opened. P11ease note that the wordutg of the condition is "efforts shall be made on the part of the CHIP organizations to contact ........" The onw,s here was clearly on CHIP . There was no compliance. • 4_ Although 1 cannot tell you .if the fence that adjoins the backyard of my company's residential apartment.building,,1338-Pierce St. ( "Spanish Gardens"), with the rear of the CHIPS center was actually built by CMPS, a prior owner of the CHIPS property or a FROM FAX NO. : Jul. 14 2003 03:05PM P3 CONAN GROUP INC. 212 Water View Court • Safety Harbor, Fl. 34695 • Tolephone 727-403 -1968 • Fax 727.796 -7082 p.2 of 4 • prior owner of Spanish Gardens, I can tell you that the only party maintaining it is :me.

There are, also, issues with the following statements in the staff report. • 1. Page 11 clearly states that "The Final order from the State Division of Administrative Hearings in February 1997, prior to the opening of the CHIPS facility, found that adverse impacts alleged were attributable to the soup kitchen which has caused properties closest to the soup kitchen to decline in value. A similar determination could be assumed in 2003." The same, "assumption" is made on page 13 in the content of real estate values and in other places in the report. Since the "Final order" was issued prior to the opening of the CHIPS facility and there has been no study of its impact on the neighborhood since, on what basis are these assumptions being made or are they, simply, convenient? • 2. On p.13 #6 the report confirms the presence of a liquor store "close by" (actually almost next door), but states that "there are probably no locations within the City of Clearwater for a homeless shelter where alcoholic beverages could not be conveniently purchased," as if there is a liquor store on every block in the City. Also, please note the use of verbiage in the report like. `probably" and "conveniently," words used in our language to mitigate responsibility for the statement but still appear confirmational. How about some definitive, uncategorical statements like definitely and specifically? 6 FROM FAX NO.

"Crime Statistics" attachment "defined by the Planning Department" lists Franklin St. as the southern boundary street of the neighborhood surrounding the CHIPS facility. l must assume that this boundary includes Pierce St., which is not mentioned. However, the statistics presented are flawed on the basis of the limitation of the area to the inm;diate surrounding streets instead of to the "grid" area that the Police Department normally looks at when analyzing crime statistics for an area. Consequently; the figures cited in the attachment are inaccurate and irrelevant by definition. The overall crime statistics obtained from the Clearwater Police Department by Mr. Schuh, on the other hand, are based on the entire grid and show an increase in reported crimes in the area in multiple categories. 4. The review of property values is flawed. It only covers the period beginning with 1996, ignoring prior property values in the area, which were higher in the 1980's. When you calculate from an earlier base period, unlike other areas in the City, any supposed increase in property values f ar the area drops dramatically or becomes non - existent_ An example is Mr. Paul Charles' property at 1323 Pierce St., where condominiums were originally purchased in the 1980's for $55,000 to $60,000. The percentage of decline to $35,000, the average price which was paid per unit by Mr. Charles, equates to a 41.6% to 45.4% to decline in value over a 20 year period. M&.Terry Witting has written to you as a realtor fund property appraiser with this and additional information. He, also, indicated that "Some people consider this area as blighted. Though this may not be the politieali correct team it is perceived that way in the market place." • 5. Figures in the "Trial period review" on p. 6 are misleading. It is stated that there, is a "93% success rate" for "the single. individuals completing the shelter programs," but the overall percentage "success rate." calculated against all those who enter the program, is ignored. The math shows that when you calculate "success" against the amount of "clients" who enter the program, only 14.6% complete it, of which 93% are, then, not recidivist within Nh first year, leaving us with an actual success rate of 11 %. The manly residents of the shelter who drop out prior to completion of the program are left to roam the surrounding streets they have now become accustomed to. • 6. The description of the CHIPS program on p.4 includes mention of the activities, including counseling, that occur during the day, but the Staff report fails to mention that many of the honieh ;ss who come during the day are not housed in the facility at night (inadequate space) and, consequently, roam the adjoining neighborhood looking far a place to sleep, putting additional stress on the adjoining neighborhood. This system, which invites them to the area during the day and does not provide housing for them at rdght, is illogical and count(Moductive • 7. On p. 5 the Pine ilas County Coalition for the Homeless is quoted as having determined in January 2003 that 2301 persons, including 697 in Clearwater, fit the definition of "homeless" in Pinellas County. Although this figure, in fairness cannot be perfectly accurate, it is interesting to note that the CHIP facility has serviced, per the information quoted on p.6, 3,256 persons, of which, during this fiscal year, 892 were "new." The discrepancy in these figures is too great (3256 minus 697. -'s 2559 people) to be ignored. Are we importing homeless into Clearwater, because of the existence of the CHIPS facility in an area that is inappropriate? FROM FAX N0.

As p,ul of" this fixture concept, a Downtown homeless strategy (supported by the Economic Development Department) is to address the long -term relocation of the St. Vincent DePaul 'soup kitchen and thrift store) to this facility and support for the C.HTP campus." I do not understand. If the goal is to consolidate services into a new location away from the Eastern gateway to the ;ity, wily is CHIP the exception? Why expand this facility when the ultimate goal is to consolidate to a more appropriate location elsewhere? • 9. On p. 5 it states i.hat the Downtown Plan, noted that "an underlying commercial constraint is the inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to the neighborhood! The CHIPS center, also, attracts homeless to the neighborhood, in ever increasing numbers (please note point 97 atove). With less homeless in the area, and the placement of facilities elsewhere, it might be more productive, business -wise, for those "inappropriate" day Labor offices to move elsewlxTe on their own. It, also, makes no sense for the medical services truck, the existence of which I fully support, to provide services right on Pierce St., attracting more homeless to Pierce St. twice a week. In fact, if there is so much parking available, why is this truck on Pierce Street, instead of in front of the CMPS facility'? Therefore, I disagree, respectfully, with the conclusions of the CDB stall: The use is out of step with the ultimate goals of the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless and the Downtown Plan, the use is inconsistent with the neighborhood, especially Pierce St. to the South, which the report ignores, the use has dampened, in numerous cases reduced, property values, the use is not consistent with the community welfare of the surrounding neighborhood and detracts from the public's convenience. Consequently, this application should be rejected. Finally, it must be noted that it is not easy for private citizens to oppose a proposal that appears to have the support of many well meaning City officials and is supported by the Chief of Police, for whom I have great respect for many reasons, including. his concern for the homeless and how to bYst handle the problems that their presence creates. However, in a democracy, it is crucial that civic officials keep an open mind and protect the right of citizens, especially their right to disagree. I must assume that this will be the case with this issue and that, considering all the: facts, a fair, logical and intelligent judgment will be rendered for the salve of all, property ovme;rs, residents (taxpayers), and the homeless. 7T hank you for your time and attention to this important matter. Y truly, Martin Altner/ Director Coshan Group, Inc. April 14, 2003 Two surveys a year apart reveal that both residents and business operators in Clearwater report an improvement.. in issues..gigociated with the homeless- The two surveys, conducted by an independent research firm, involved face -to -face interviews with 315 business operators and residents along Cleveland Street from downtown to Lake Avenue and Gulf to Bay Blvd from Cleveland to Highland Avenue. The survey area specifically included the area where both the Soup Kitchen and the CHIP Center are located. A BETTER PLACE - Three times as many respondents said that in the last six months the neighborhood had become a better place in which to live and work,. and A higher percent indicated they move freely at night GIVEN 20 PROBLEMS TO CHOOSE FROM, respondents noted SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT in 10 of the 20. Three of the issues for which PO -ITIVE CHANGES were noted concemed the homeless: Loitering, People Drinking in Public Places/Drunks, Panhandling ALL were reported as being „ LESS OF A PROBLEM than previously. Improvements were also noted for Prostitution, Mentally III Persons, Gang Activity, Vandalism, Sidewalk Conditions, Code Enforcement and Houses/Property not kept up.

When talking about the site history, Staff fails to mention that the previous board passed the conditional use by a vote of four to three, so there was definitely some reservations to allowing this shelter to be in this neighborhood. Also they fail to mention that the old board asked CHM to look for an alternate location. Re: part 6 of the site history: I was a member of the Neighborhood Advisory Council. Only two meetings were ever held, both before the shelter even opened. The first of these meetings was basically a tour of the facility. After the tour, they asked us to be tutors for the CHIP clients. The way in which it was done really put us off. We were supposed to be giving them suggestions on how to work together with the neighborhood to make things better for everyone and they were clearly not interested at all in making things better for the neighborhood. Why have they not even had their clients clean up the streets that they are littering? It is not the neighborhood residents throwing beer bottles and cigarette butts all over the place. There has been no good will towards our neighborhood or our neighborhood council. The plan created by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless is to remove ALL homeless facilities from the downtown area. Dr. Jannelli was present at that meeting and no mention was made of any support for keeping the CHIP Center. In the staff report section titled Trial Period Review, the staff claims that CHIP has a 93% success rate for single individuals completing the shelter programs. I am enclosing the figures given to me by the CHIP Center which show that the success rate is actually only 11% of those who start the program. Also note that CHIP has a day center. Therefore, when they claim that the problems the community is having are all due to the soup kitchen, they cannot possibly separate the people going to the day center from those going to the soup kitchen. In fact, these are the same individuals going to both facilities. Also in the Trial Period Review section, staff claims that "there are probably no locations within the City of Clearwater for a homeless shelter where alcoholic beverages could not be conveniently purchased." Give me a break. How many bars and package stores are there between Hercules and Belcher north of Drew and south of Sunset Point? How many are there in the industrial area of 49`x' Street south of the bridge? Not many. At the very least, a homeless facility (which conducts AA meetings) in either of these locations would not be directly behind a bar. A homeless facility would also not border directly on a neighborhood at either of these locations. t IVIA00 At the very end ofthe Trial Review Period section stare states base` on updaccd crime statistics and proper y values, the existence of the CHIP shelter and police substation. (over the years- they Dave been open) did not have a positive or negative impact on the surrounding area." If this is true, then they have failed. I am enclosing excerpts from the 1 qQ6 tr?nscript of the Clearwater PIanning and Zoning Board in which `Chief Klein affirmed misdemeanor crimes in the area increased when the soup kitchen opened, but that situation would be eliminated by taking the offenders off the streets... He said if the situation does not turn around and the crime rate does not decrease, the shelter and police substation can be closed." Therefore, if crime has not decreased, then they have failed to meet the Chief's promise to the board and our neighborhood. Chief Klein further went on to say in an article in the Opinion section of the St. Pete Times to say "if we can't do this and do it right, then we should shut it down, and we will." As far as property values go, I am enclosing a complete list of the properties within 300 and 600 feet of the St. Vincent De Paul property. On the right is the total increase or decrease in Just Value over the past 12 years. Compare them to the following: I talked with Dick Pauk the director of property values for Pinellas County. He gave me the following list of percent change of taxable value in the City of Clearwater. 1997 -1998 4.4% increase 1998 -1999 4.0% increase 1999 -2000 6.4% increase 2000 -2001 9.4% increase 2001 -2002 7.4% increase Total increase = 31.60% increase over the past 5 years As you can see, our properties did not fare nearly so well on average. The Crime Statistics section of the staff report encapsulates an area which is entirely too small. Do you really believe the CHIP Day Center clients really stay within the perimeter given in the staff report all day and night? Certainly not. If you use their logic, then the transients going to the soup kitchen never cross the street to the package store on the other side of Cleveland. I am enclosing data I extrapolated from information provided to us by the Clearwater Police Department. I break down all crime by the entire city, our CRA and our grid as defined by the police department. September 11th certainly had an effect on crime in 2001. Below that I list the types of calls we would expect transients to be involved with. That is not to say all of these calls are related to the homeless or clients of CHIP. However, We are not looking at domestic abuse or assaults with firearms and other crimes which are unlikely to involve the homeless. I am also enclosing. a copy of the total number of 911 calls to CHIP and the soup kitchen addresses. As you can see, the numbers have an upward trend. �j 1 •� The issues listed above are the main problems. I have with the staff report as a taxpayer and member of this neighborhood.
