'k"�.k.,..._.�:. . .. 0.78 acre subject property is permitted a maximum of 18,791 square feet of gross floor area. The development proposal is for only 3,010 square feet (0.088 FAR); thus the proposal is in compliance with the above requirement. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR� Pursuant to CDC Section 2-701.1, and the Countywide Plan Rules the maximum allowable ISR is 0.90. The proposal is to maintain the existing impervious surface ratio of 0.77, which is consistent with the Code. Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no minimum required lot area or lot width for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-703, Flexible Standard Development Standards, the minimum lot area for Automobile Service Station is 10,000 square feet. The lot area is 34,155 square feet. Pursuant to the same Table, the minimum lot width for Automobile Service Station is 100 feet. The lot width along Sunset Point Road is 150 feet and the frontage along N. Hercules Avenue is 160 feet. The proposal meets or exceeds these Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-703, Flexible Standard Development Standards, the minimum front setback for Automobile Service Station uses is 25 feet (to building) and the minimum side setback is 10 feet (to building). Parking lots may be located at the otherwise required landscape buffer width irrespective of setback requirements. The required setbacks for the subject site with regard to parking are 15 feet (south, southeast, and east) and five feet (north and west). Parking is not proposed along the north property line. The proposed building would have a front (south) setback of 25 feet (to canopy) and 15 feet (to pavement), a front (southeast) setback of 14.57 feet (to pavement), front (east) setbacks of 64.73 feet (to building) and 10.44 feet (to pavement), side (west) setbacks of 44.18 feet (to building) and 4.69 (to pavement), side (north) setbacks of 11.45 feet (to building) and 18 feet (to pavement). The existing setbacks do not meet the minimum standard development requirements of Code; however the proposed setbacks are requested through a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment and meet the code to the maximum extent practicable and are supportable. Maximum Buildin�,Hei� Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the maximum building height within the C District is 25 feet. The proposed building measures 21.25 feet (to top of flat roo fl which is in compliance with the above requirement. Minimum Off-Street Parkin�: Pursuant to the CDC Table 2-704, the required parking for Automobile Service Station use within the C District is five parking spaces per thousand square feet of gross floor area. The development proposal provides for 12 off-street parking spaces, which equates to 3.9/1,000 GFA. The applicant has submitted a Parking Demand Study that analyzed the parking demand for similar stores on similar roadways and the justification has been determined to be satisfactory. Solid Waste Containers and Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all solid waste containers, recycling or trash handling areas and outside mechanical equipment shall Community Development Board—March 19,2013 FLD2012-11026—Page 2 � Cl��T��6e1 Level II Flexible Develo ment A plication Review PL^rrr��c&DEVEiorMENT p P DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION J . .. �.,.. ... . be completely screened from view from public streets and abutting properties by a fence, gate, wall, mounds of earth, or vegetation. The proposed dumpster will be located within an enclosure that is located behind the primary building. The enclosure will be constructed of like materials and finishes to that of the building including stucco and stone. A lift station is proposed on the north side of the building and is proposed to be screened with a black vinyl chain link fence. Chain link is not sufficient to screen a lift station and a condition of approval has been added that the fence material be revised to be consistent with the dumpster enclosure and building fa�ade. Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the proposed driveways on Sunset Point Road and N. Hercules Avenue, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will obstruct views at a level between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-foot sight visibility triangles. The proposal meets this requirement. Landscapin�: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D, the required perimeter buffers are 15 feet in width along the fronts (south, southeast, and east) and five feet in width along the sides (north and west). The proposal includes the maximum practicable landscaping buffers and includes a 15 foot landscape buffer along Sunset Point Road, a 14.57 wide landscape buffer at the southeast corner and a 10.44 foot wide buffer along N. Hercules Avenue. These buffers will have shade trees, accent trees, and palms. These front buffers will also have a continuous hedge, shrubs, and ground cover. The side (west) buffer will have shade tolerant accent trees. This side buffer is too narrow for shade trees and there are existing shade trees on the adjacent property with large established canopies that extend onto the subject site. Additional shade trees in the buffer would be inappropriate for tree development. The side (north) buffer will have a continuous hedge, ground cover and accent trees. This buffer is also too narrow for shade trees and there are also existing shade trees on the adjacent property with established canopies. At the northwest corner a stormwater pond is proposed. This is pond is behind the building and is not in the five foot landscape buffers, however it is proposed to have landscaping on the top of bank. Ground cover and a shade tree are proposed in the storm water area. This additional landscaping around the pond is not required. The interior landscaping required is ten percent of the total vehicular use area which would require 2,087 square feet of interior landscaping. A total of 731 square feet of interior landscaping is provided. The site cannot increase the interior landscaping without further reducing the parking. The required five foot foundation landscaping is not being provided on the south and east facades facing the adjacent right-of-way. The site is proposing the maximum practical landscaping improvements and is focusing landscaping improvements in those area that are most visible; the front buffers. In addition, the proposal will provide native tree and shrub species as encouraged in the CDC. The provided trees will also be a larger caliper than required by code. While smaller trees establish faster the larger trees are proposed to increase aesthetic appeal. No turf is proposed in the buffers or interior landscape area and this will reduce the water demand for irrigation. The proposed landscaping will be a significant improvement, is the maximum practicable, and is supportable. Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-912, all utilities, including individual distribution lines, shall be installed underground unless such undergrounding is not practicable. It is attached as a condition of approval that prior to the issuance of certificate of occupancy all on-site utility Community Development Board—March 19,2013 FLD2012-11026—Page 3 � C��1 1Y�L�1 Level II Flexible Development Application Review PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REV�W DIVISION u . . ...�:�...�>..�.. ,. facilities, whether they be existing or proposed, are to be placed underground as part of the redevelopment of the site. Si�na�e: The proposal does not include any signage at this time. Any signage, if and/or when proposed, must meet Code requirements. Comprehensive Plan: The proposal is supported by various Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan as follows: Future Land Use Plan Element Policy A.3.2 Objective — All development or redevelopment initiatives within the City of Clearwater shall meet the minimum landscaping/ tree protection standards of the Community Development Code in order to promote the preservation of existing tree canopies, the expansion of that canopy, and the overall quality of development within the City. The proposal includes a Comprehensive Landscape Program due to the reduction of a buffers, interior landscaping, and foundation landscaping. However the proposal includes a majority of compliant buffer widths, additional shade trees, accent trees, palms, hedges, shrubs, and ground cover and meets the spirit of this objective to the maximum extent practicable. Objective A.6.4 — Due to the built-out character of the city of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Communiry Development Code. The proposal addresses this Objective through the use of the Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project as part of a Flexible Development application for the reuse of an existing building and site which, without the requested deviations from Code would have its potential use severely limited. Community Development Code: The proposal is supported by the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of this Code as follows: Section 1-103.B.1. Allowing prope�ry owners to enhance the value of their property through innovative and creative redevelopment. The property owners will make improvements to the site including new building structure with improved fa�ade treatments and landscaping enhancements. The existing building and site were previously used for an automobile service station. The proposal will re-establish that use within a new building and improved site. Section 1-103.B.2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a negative impact on the value of surrounding properties and wherever practicable promoting development and redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding properties. Surrounding properties to the south, east and west have been developed with a variety of non- residential uses including retail sales and services, fast-food restaurant, and automobile service station. These properties have been similarly developed with regard to setbacks (to pavement) and landscaping as the subject property. Section 1-103.B.3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole.

The existing building is vacant. The proposal will re-establish a use for which the site was used, while bringing a needed service to the neighborhood and the City of Clearwater as a whole. Section 1-103.E.3. Protect and conserve the value of land throughout the ciry and the value of buildings and improvements upon the land, and minimize the conflicts among the uses of land and buildings The proposed use is not anticipated to have any conflict with the surrounding uses of land. The building was previously used for an automobile service station. The proposal will re-establish that use within a new building and improved site. Genera�urpose and Intent of the Commercial ZoninQ�District (Section 2-701): The intent and purpose of the Commercial District is to provide the citizens of the City of Clearwater with convenient access to goods and services throughout the city without adversely impacting the integrity of residential neighborhoods, diminishing the scenic quality of the city or negatively impacting the safe and efficient movement of people and things within the City of Clearwater. The proposal will provide a needed use conveniently located at an intersection. The surrounding uses are Commercial and the use will not negatively affect residential properties as they are not adjacent to the site. The proposal includes re-utilizing the site as an automobile service station with a new and improved building and improved site landscaping to the maximum extent practicable. Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no active Code Compliance cases for the subject property.

The site is currently improved with a 1,575 s.f. convenience store and 1,920 s.f.gas canopy, constructed in 1973 per the Pinellas County property appraiser. The store is currently vacant.All adjacent lands and buildings are commercial,one-story buildings of more recent construction. The south side of Sunset Point Road is occupied by a similar commercial use, a Rally gas station and convenience store. Across Hercules is a retail center. To the north is a McDonald's restaurant,with an access drive to the west of the subject property,which is screened by a row of live oak trees along its eastern property line. These surrounding commercial structures are all one story,with FAR's ranging from .07 to .36. Redevelopment of the subject property for a similar use, a one story commercial building with site improvements such as landscaping at a .086 FAR is therefore of similar scale, bulk and character to these surrounding commercial uses. 2.The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof. All adjacent lands are developed and of significantly higher improvement value. Based on property appraiser data,the McDonald's site improvements are valued at$478,155,the Rally at$395,165 and the retail center$383,510,as compared to the current value of$118,785 for improvements on the subject site. Redevelopment of the site will significantly increase the value of the property, so that it is consistent with the value of the improvements on these surrounding properties. The total estimated total value of the project upon completion is$1.8 million. 3.The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. � a � [iJU E-� Redevelopment will improve health and safety by connecting the future building to the City sanitary � w� sewer system and by redesigning the access drives. The site currently has a septic tank which will be � o� removed and the future building will be served by City sanitary sewer, decreasing the possibility of ° �, w a environmental issues associated with use of septic tank system. The driveway access to the site will � � w also be brought into compliance with current standards, increasing safety and functionality of the ,� �� intersection. � � z� z z 4.The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. � a The existing access drives to Sunset Point and Hercules do not meet current standards for distance separation from the intersection. The proposed redevelopment plan will bring these drives into compliance with current standards, thereby decreasing traffic congestion at the intersection and improving overall safety and functionality. 5.The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The existing building and canopy are antiquated and not in character with the surrounding commercial businesses. The McDonald's restaurant was recently remodeled (2010)with architectural enhancements and the site is well landscaped. The retail center and the Rally station also have site buffers and landscaping.The proposed redevelopment will bring the site and buildings into character of the area through upgrades to the site and construction of a new building and canopy. Site upgrades include installation of perimeter buffers with landscaping, stormwater retention facilities, replacement of deteriorated paving, and connection to City sewer. The proposed building will be architecturally finished on all sides and include color and elevation variation, lighting fixtures and architectural banding to provide visual interest to the facades. The roof includes a parapet cap,which will match the fueling canopy. The canopy columns will be architecturally finished to match the convenience store building, with similar color scheme and banding. The improvements which bring the redevelopment into character of the area are reflected in the attached building elevations and site and landscape plans. 6.The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects,including visual,acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts,on adjacent properties. The existing, outdated structures will be demolished and replaced with a new convenience store building that will incorporate architectural design features.The site will be upgraded by removing the septic tank and installation of buffers, interior and perimeter landscaping.The landscape plan has been enhanced with shade trees that are larger than those required by Code (4" cal).The shade and understory trees are layered to create an attractive design.The entire site is planted with shrubs and ground covers which allows low volume irrigation. � �--� a� -�'1`�r z N w � o a � O � rn � c.i w�V �� ZV Z Z � a o Planning& Development Department � C earwater Flexible Development Application �� Flexibility Criteria PROVIDE COMPLETE RESPONSES TO THE APPLICABLE FLEXIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE SPECIFIC USE(S)BEING REQUESTED AS SET FORTH IN THE ZONING DISTRICT(S)IN WHICH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

In addition,the site does not currently comply with current land development code standards such as parking,solid waste, stormwater, and landscaping. The proposed redevelopment will replace these antiquated facilities with a new convenience store and fueling canopy, and improve the site to the maximum extent feasible given the dimensional restrictions of the parcel. 2.The development or redevelopment will be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan,as well as with the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of this Code,and with the intent and purpose of this zoning district; The C-2 zoning classification and Commercial General future land use allow the convenience store and gas station use. This use serves the surrounding residential community, providing everyday convenience items and gasoline. There are no waivers to the use criteria. With the exception of the parking requirement,the site meets the minimum standards with respect to lot size and setbacks for automobile service stations. The proposed FAR of.09 is well below the .55 allowable, and the proposed ISR of.77 is below the .85%allowed in this district. 3.The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and imnrovement of surroundine aroperties: All adjacent lands are developed.

Redevelopment of the subject property for a similar use, a one story commercial building with site improvements such as landscaping at a .086 FAR is therefore of similar scale, bulk and character to these surrounding commercial uses. d. in order to form a cohesive,visually interesting and attractive appearance,the proposed development incorporates a substantial number of the following design elements: • Changes in horizontal building planes; • Use of architectural details such as columns,cornices, stringcourses, pilasters, porticos, balconies, railings,awnings,etc.; •Variety in materials,colors and textures; • Distinctive fenestration patterns; • Building stepbacks; and • Distinctive roofs forms. As depicted in the attached building elevations, all of these design elements have been included.The proposed building will be architecturally finished on all sides and include color and elevation variation, lighting fixtures and architectural banding to provide visual interest to the facades. The fenestration along the front of the building includes panes to break-up the large expanse of window.The roof includes a parapet cap,which will match the fueling canopy. The canopy columns will be architecturally finished to match the convenience store building, with similar color scheme and banding. e.The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design and appropriate distances between buildings. As shown on the site and landscape plan, existing pavement along Sunset Point and Hercules will be removed, access drives reduced and defined and landscape buffers installed. The landscape buffer width along Sunset Point is 10-feet and the buffer along Hercules ranges from 10-12'. The width of the buffers is constrained primarily due to the site dimensions, and the design requirements for fueling truck movement.The landscape plan has been enhanced with shade trees that are larger than those required by Code (4" cal).The shade and understory trees are layered to create an attractive design.The entire site is planted with shrubs and ground covers which allows low volume irrigation. �� a w 0 �`� z� � �� o� �� J Q) �Ll �-� r+ w U > �� 25, � �O � � Z� Z 2 � a o (`� �� Planning&Development Department � l� e Flexible Develo ment A lication p pP � Affidavit to Authorize Agent/Representative 1.

Box 4748 Clearwater, Florida 33758 Reference: 7-Eleven Store Sunset Point Road/Hercules Avenue Intersection Traffic Impact Statement Dear Mr. Patni: This letter serves to summarize the traffic impacts for the subject project for your review and comment. The proposed development is located at the northwest corner of the Sunset Point Road/Hercules Avenue intersection. The property currently has an abandoned gas station with supporting infrastructure. 7- tieven proposes io consiruci a 3,u�u square rooi convenience store wiin i� iueiiing posiiions. ihe existing on-site structures will be demolished and removed. The build out year for the 7-Eleven is 2013. The project location is shown in Figure 1. The City of Ciearwater's Traffic Impact Study Procedures document was reviewed to identify what level of analysis is required as part of the 7-Eleven project. The subsequent sections of this letter summarize the 7-Eleven trip generation, preliminary distribution and existing roadway conditions. ��'".�1 � � ��, �� >> . o ��:; �; ��A �� i `� ��;° _.._` � �� ,�,�., NN�NG&,�E�1E�O1��TFc� , : P� C,� F C`F�"�-�°�� .

Another factor that would require a traffic study would be if there is a safety issue at the Sunset Point Road/Hercules Avenue intersection or the adjacent roadway segments. The last 12 months of crash data was not available to be reviewed as part of this submittal; however, based on the Pinellas County MPO 2009 Crash Facts Report, the Sunset Point Road/Hercules Avenue intersection was not one of the top 100 crash intersections in 2009 or one of the top 50 crash intersections from 2006 through 2009.

The site is previously developed land consisting of an existing commercial building, existing pavement, and remaining open area. The existing site appears to drain via sheet flow uncontrolled into the adjacent right of ways adjacent to the property. The site is located in flood zone X according to flood map panel 1203C01037H. There is no base flood elevation for properties with this designation. The Floor elevation will be set based upon design storm flood routings for the 100 year storm event. The anticipated Floor elevation is approximately 62.50 NAVD. The proposed drainage system consists of a combination of exfiltration trench and dry detention that will provide storm water quality and quantity attenuation prior to discharge to an existing storm drain in the Hercules Avenue right of way. The 300 LF of 3'x6' exfiltration trench provides approximately 1,240 cu-ft of attenuation of volume while the dry detention area of 1,434 sf provides approximately 1,924 cuf-ft of attenuation (see attached calculations). The total attenuation is 3,240 cu-ft. The volume of attenuation provided within the combination of exfiltration and dry detention area will exceeds the City and SWFWMD criteria for retention/detention volume by exceeding one inch of volume over the site equal to 2,831 cu-ft. The proposed design has been prepared with the intent of ineeting all requirements of the Florida Department of Transportation, the City of Clearwater, and the South West Florida i/Vater Management uistrici. � .` ��i -�' � rl � �l l--�J �'�f N UJ h � S�, � i.:.. � �<; cs�s �tt.� � c.� t�u C; ' � 0� � �s O Z � � z z z � a 11/1/2012 4:52 PM Drainage Statement 36452 7-Eleven Volume Calculations Volume Calculations to Provide Retainment One inc;h of Attenuation Across the site Site Area= 33,978 sf One inch Volume=(Site Area s�x(inches of rainfall)x(1 ft/12 inches�=(33,978sf)x(1)x(1/12)= 2831.00 cuft p � � � i��lV 2 9 2012 PLANNI�G&DEVELOPMENT DEPT C 36452 Volume Calculations Rev 0 11/1/2012 5:08 PM Drainage Statement :36452 7-Eleven Exfiltration Trench Calculations Afull=area of pipe see caic Vtr= 907.00 cu-ft Du=storage height in unsaturated trench see calc Tel=elevation of top of trench 59.00 ft Storage�within pipe SHWT=Sean high water table elevation 56.00 ft Atrench=storage area in trench see calc Apipe=((3.14)xD"2)/4=((3.14)x(1.5'^2))/4= 1J66 sqft f=fillable porosity of rock 0.40 Wtr=trench bottom width 6.00 ft Storage:Height in Trench(unsaturated depth) H=height of trench= 3.00 ft Du=Tel-Bottom E1= 3.00 ft Vtr=Volume of trench water quality required see calc Trench Pipe Size(DIA.) 1.50 ft Storage�Area in Trench Lreq=required trench length see calc Bottem E1=Bottom of Trench elevation= 56.00 ft Atrencti=f(Wtr x Du-Apipe)=.4(6ftx3ft-1.77sf)= 6.49 sf 2xVtr=t_x(((3.14xD"2)/4)(1-f)+WtrxHxf) 1814.00 cuft Lrequired= 219.62 ft Trench Length Provided= 300.00 ft Note: See mass balance report for recovery time calculation � d � � � �g �.012 ��V PMENRDEPT PLPNNI T��VEi.RW T 36452 Exfiltraton Calculation
