ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 1.8 acre subject property is located on the
east side of the intersection of Island Way and
Dory Passage. The building was previously
identified as the Dearborn Tower. At this time,
the existing building is currently under
construction being renovated from 88 attached
dwellings to 53 attached dwellings. The
property is located in the Island Estates
Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District
(IENCOD). The property to the north consists of
attached dwellings, while the property to the
south is vacant land. The property to the west
across Island Way consists of a shopping plaza
that includes Publix, and the property to the east
is Clearwater Bay.
Development Proposal:
The building, which was originally built in 1962,
is currently being renovated with a reduction in
dwelling units from 88 to 53 units. After
acquiring the property, the owner determined
that the building was in a state of disrepair, but
decided to reuse and renovate the building. The
owner will retain the original structure. The
entire superstructure has been saved with
minimal repair needed and the renovation of the
building will comply with current building code.
The architectural elements that the owner chose
to highlight were the original clean lines of the
building itself. The color of the building will be
changed to a more neutral tone (beige). This
change in color will resemble newer buildings in
the area. The screened in porches will be
replaced with open rails to give the building a
modern feel. All existing windows will be
replaced with windows and sliding glass doors,
low E insulated, high impact glass vinyl units. A
porte-cochere will be added to the front of the building. The porte-cochere will extend past the
proposed carports so that the carports can be added to the parking lot.

northern entrances will be eliminated and combined into a central entrance while the existing
entrance at the south end of the property will remain.
The proposal is being reviewed as a Level Two Residential Infill Project because the site will
have 88 parking spaces where 106 spaces are required by Code and that the redevelopment of the
parking lot does not comply with the development standard that parking lots shall be setback
from the front property line a distance of 15 feet as set forth in CDC Section 3-903. Also,
reductions to front, side, and rear setbacks to pavement are required as well; however, the
development standards for Residential Infill Projects are guidelines and may be varied based on
the criteria specified in Section 2-504.F.
S�pecial Area Plan: The subject property is located in the Island Estates Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District. It is located within the multi-family area. This Plan states that the
development standards for multi-family projects shall remain consistent with the current City of
Clearwater Community Development Code.
Densitv: Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-501.1, the m�imum
allowable density for properties with an underlying Future Land Use Plan designation of
Residential High (RH) is 30 dwelling units per acre. The property has a lot area of 78,519 square
feet which allows for a maximum of 54 dwelling units. The proposal is for a total of 53 dwelling
units which is below the maximum development potential for the subject property. This
redevelopment plan brings the density on the site into compliance with code.
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISRZ Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-
205.1, within the Residential High (RH) Future Land Use Plan Category, the allowable ISR is
0.85. The proposed ISR is 0.79, which is consistent with the Code provisions.
Minimum Lot Area: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-504, there is no minimum required lot area for a
Residential Infill Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2-502,
the minimum lot area for attached dwellings is 15,000 square feet. The subject property is 78,519
square feet in area, which is consistent with the Code provisions.
Minimum Lot Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-504, there is no minimum required lot width for
a Residential Infill Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2-502,
the minimum lot width for attached dwellings is 150 feet. The subject property has a lot width of
385.66 feet, which is consistent with the Code provisions.
Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-504, the minimum front, side and rear setbacks
for Residential Iniill Projects are 10 to 25 feet, zero to 10 feet and zero to 15 feet, respectively.
It should be noted that the Building Code may require the rear setback on a waterfront lot to be at
least 18 feet from a seawall not withstanding structural modifications to the seawall which may
allow a lesser setback. The proposal includes a front (west) setback of 42.11 feet to building
(Porte-Cochere) and 1.2 feet to block walUpavement; a side (north) setback of 80 feet to building
and 4.10 feet to curb and carport; a side (south) setback of 72.6 feet to building and six feet to
curb and carport; and a rear (east) setback of 33 feet to building and five feet to pavement, which
is consistent with Code provisions.

The redevelopment of the site does not include reducing the parking lot to comply with the
development standard that parking lots shall be setback from the front property line a distance of
15 feet as set forth in CDC Section 3-903. The property is built out due to the need to provide
the maximum number of parking spaces for the use. For this reason, the owner is maintaining the
existing front and side setbacks to pavement, curb, and carports. The property had 91 off-street
parking spaces for 88 units. This project proposes 88 parking spaces for 53 units. The parking
ratio increases from a ratio of 1.03 to 1.6 per unit. The number of parking spaces provided
brings the property closer to compliance with Code. The requested reductions to the front and
side setbacks to pavement can be supported.
Maximum Building Height: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-504, the height of a building may range
between 30 — 130 feet as a Residential Infill Project. This table provides that the development
standards for Residential Infill Projects are guidelines and may be varied based on the criteria
specified in Section 2-504.F. The building height of 72 feet is from existing grade with an
additional 17.5 feet for elevator and mechanical equipment is permitted subject to the specific
flexibility criteria for Residential Infill Projects.
The flexibility criteria for Residential Infill Projects states that flexibility with regard to height
shall be justifiable based upon the benefits to community character and the immediate vicinity of
the parcel proposed for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole. The applicant has
indicated that the flexibility is "justifred by the benefits to the city of Clearwater in aesthetic,
property, and tax value. " The proposed redevelopment will be more aesthetically appealing than
what presently exists on site and will certainly benefit the immediate vicinity and City in that
respect. With specific regard to height, the owner is not planning to alter the shell of the building
or the height as it exists, rather most of the work being done is internal wall demolition and
rer�ovation, and replacement of exterior windows to bring the building which does not meet
current building code to compliance with the Florida building code.
Based upon the above, the redevelopment of the building is consistent with the flexibility criteria
for residential infill projects. The redevelopment of the property is also compatible with existing
development in the vicinity; therefore, retaining the existing height is supported.
Minimum Off-Street Parkin�: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-504, the minimum required number of
off-street parking spaces for a Residential Infill Project is two spaces per dwelling unit. A total
of 106 off-street parking spaces are required for this redevelopment project. The site plan shows
that a total of 88 parking spaces will be provided on site which is below the required number of
spaces. The owner states that due to the reconfiguration of the parking lot entrance as required
by the Engineering Department and the existing parameters of the parking lot, the parking area
has the maximum number of parking spaces possible. The number of parking spaces provided is
supported by Staff as despite in continuing to be nonconforming it will nonetheless result in
lessening the existing nonconformity and bring the property closer to compliance with Code.
Mechanical Equinment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment
must be screened so as not to be visible from public streets and/or abutting properties. Based
upon the plans submitted, the mechanical equipment will be located to the immediate side or rear

u . . . �,�';� . . . .
of the individual buildings. The location and screening of such mechanical equipment will be
reviewed at time of building permit submission, should this application be approved by the CDB.
Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the
driveways of Island Way; no structures or landscaping may be installed which will obstruct
views at a level between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within twenty-foot
sight visibility triangles. The submitted site plan and landscape plan shows the sight visibility
triangles from the property line into the public right-of-way. This needs to be revised to show
the sight visibility triangles from the property line onto the property. After the site triangles are
corrected; it appears that six existing parking spaces will be located within four site visibility
triangles. There are no opportunities to move the parking spaces out of the sight visibility
triangles without reducing the total number of available parking spaces. However, this proposal
has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineering Division and been found to be acceptable.
Any proposed landscaping within the sight triangles shall also meet this criterion.
Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-912, all utilities including individual distribution lines must
be installed underground unless such undergrounding is not practicable. Electric and
communication lines for this development will be installed underground on-site in compliance
with this requirement. The applicant shall provide documentation from the utility companies if
undergrounding the existing overhead utility lines within the public right-of-way along the Island
Way is impractical. If is determined that the overhead wires can be placed underground, then
provisions for the future undergrounding of existing aboveground utility facilities in the public
right-of-way must be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy in a manner
acceptable to the utility companies and the City.
Landscaping_, Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D., perimeter buffers required for the attached
dwellings adjacent to attached dwellings are required to be 10 feet in width. The front landscape
buffer along Island Way, a local street right-of-way, is required to be 10 feet in width. The
applicant is requesting reductions to the front (west) perimeter landscape buffer from ten feet to
1.2 feet; side (south) perimeter landscape buffer from ten feet to six feet; and side (north)
perimeter landscape buffer from ten feet to 4.10 feet. No rear (east) perimeter buffer is required
adjacent to a waterway.
The landscape buffer widths do not meet the provisions of CDC Article 3 Division 12. The
applicant has mitigated the dimensional deficiency with regard to buffer width through the
provision of providing various accent trees within the reduced buffer width. Shade trees within
buffers of less than five feet in width would not meet the standards of the Code. The accent trees
will be in intervals than 35 feet, which is required of shade trees, to provide dense vegetation.
They also are providing eight different tree species (two accent trees equal one shade tree) on site
where four tree species are required by Code. The landscape plan includes a variety of
ornamental and palm trees (muskogee crepe myrtle, silver buttonwoods, winged elms, and sabal
palms). The landscape plan also indicates that a number of shrubs are to be planted within the
north and south buffers; however, the type and number of shrub to be planted is not identified on
the landscape plan. It shall be a condition of approval that the landscape plan be revised to
include the number and type of shrubs to be used in the north and south buffers.

In regards to the interior landscape islands in the parking area; based on the square footage of
green space provided in the islands and adjacent areas to the parking area the applicant will
provide 8 percent of the required 10 percent of interior green space. The landscape plan shows
that the applicant calculated 1,169 square feet of green space within the landscape buffer along
the south property line to comply with the standard, but that area is counted towards the
perimeter buffer and not towards the provided landscape interior island greenspace. For this
reason, the owner is providing 8 percent of interior greenspace. The landscape plan shows that
within the interior parking island provided the applicant will provide one shade tree (live oaks)
or two accent trees (such as tree ligustrom) per island as well as providing palms (washingtonian
palms) in greenspace areas within the parking lot to increase the plant material within the vehicle
use area. Groundcovers such as dwarf Indian hawthorn, hibiscus, and flax lily) will be planted
to create a tiered effect in the interior islands as well.
In regards to allowing more than 10 parking spaces in a row where 15 is allowed. The number of
existing parking spaces covered by carports is not considered as it is an existing condition on
site. The parking area in the front of the building is where the number of parking spaces exceeds
15 spaces in a row.
The initial site plan showed that the owner wanted to retain three entrances to the site. The
location of the entrances created 21 parking spaces in a row along Island Way. The Traffic
Engineering Division required the applicant to reduce the number of entrarices/exits to only two
on the property. Two entrances will be eliminated and a new main entrance will be added near
the center of property's frontage on Island Way. This design change created two interior islands
at the entrance and broke up the string of parking spaces in a row from 21 spaces to 11 spaces
north of the entrance and 12 spaces to the south of the entrance. This improved the parking
design. The parking spaces directly in front of the building where the handicap parking spaces
are located consists of a row of 18 consecutive parking spaces. Staff supports this parking lot
design due to the need of parking spaces and that the new porte-cochere over the handicap
parking spaces will visually break up the parking spaces.
In regards to the porte-cochere, the site plan shows columns within the handicap parking space
walking aisles. At the Development Review Committee meeting the applicant stated such
support system for the structure will not be used and there will be no columns in the parking
space. The applicant did not provide a response or show a detail in the building plans. All plans
show the columns. It shall be a condition of approval that the applicant shall provide building
plans that show the extension of the porte-cochere will not be supported any columns or support
structures that do not encroach into required parking spaces.

1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for development is otherwise
impractical without deviations from one or more of the following: intensity; other development
standards.
To renovate site as proposed, in regards to parking area, would be impractical without the
reductions to setbacks. To improve the parking situation on site is to maintain the existing
setbacks. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will not
materially reduce the fair market value of abutting properties.
Surrounding properties have been developed with attached dwellings ranging in size from one-
to 15-stories. The reestablishment of attached dwellings use constitutes an appropriate use for
the neighborhood and the proposed density is supported by the CDC and the Countywide Land
Use Rules. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
3. The uses within the residential infill project are otherwise permitted in the district.
The proposed use is a permitted use within the MHDR District. Therefore, the proposal is
consistent with this CDC Section.

4. The uses within the residential infill project are compatible with adjacent lands uses.
The attached dwellings use is a permitted use within the HDR District. The properties on the east
and west side of Island Way from Windward Drive to Skiff Point mostly consist of properties
with attached dwellings. The heights of these buildings range from one- to 15-stories. The design
and use of the building is consistent with surrounding properties and the existing character of the
area. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
S. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a residential infill project will
upgrade the immediate viciniry of the parcel proposed for development.
The aesthetic and architectural improvements to the building as well as the conversion of the
dwelling units to luxury condominiums should result in an upgrade of the subject property and
adjacent properties. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section.
6. The design of the proposed residential infill project creates a form and function which
enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
The building was built in 1962. It is a building that created the character of the neighborhood.
The redevelopment and renovation of the site and building will improve the appearance of the
property. The owner intends to retain the aesthetic and architectural design of the building which
will remain consistent with the character of the community. The reduction to the number of
driveway entrances will comply with code and results in an improved and safer traffic scheme to
the property safety. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section.
7. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are justified
by the benefits to community character and the immediate viciniry of the parcel proposed for
development and the City of Clearwater as a whole.
The proposal will result in the redevelopment of an older building in state of disrepair being
brought back to use as a luxury condominium property. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with
this CDC Section.
Section 4-206.D.4: Burden of proof. The burden of proof is upon the applicant to show by
substantial competent evidence that he is entitled to the approval requested.
The applicant has adequately demonstrated through the submittal of substantial competent
evidence that the request is entitled to the approval requested as required by CDC Section 4-
206.D.4.
Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no outstanding Code Enforcement issues associated
with the subject property.

Planning Review Planning Review
1. Staff has determined that by attaching the carports to the building that the nearest point of
the carport structure to the property line cannot be considered the new front setback to
principle building. Carports are an accessory user which means 1) is subordinate to and
serves a principal use; 2) is subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the principal use
served; 3) contributes to the comfort, convenience or necessities of the users or occupants of
the principal use; 4) is located on the same lot as the principal use. As an accessory use must
be located behind the front edge of the principle building as set forth in CDC Section 3-
201.B.4.
Response: Please see revised SPl, showing the carport behind the front edge of the principle
building.
2. The proposed carports must be shown to be architecturally integral to the principle building --
to be considered a part of the building. Revise.
Response: Please see enclose rendering showing the proposed carport design.
3. All proposed carport structures shall be removed from all submitted plans.
Response: As discussed in DRC, since the proposed carports are behind the principle
building; this is acceptabde to the City.
4. Staff is supportive of the porte-cochere to remain and that nearest point of the porte-cochere
to the property line shall be considered the front setback. Show front setback to building
dimension on plan.
Response: Please see revised plan for proposed setback of the porte-cochere.
5. Staff accepts that all existing carports shall remain.
Response: Noted.
6. Utilize the interior landscape islands within the parking lot near the carports for stormwater
ponds rather than the two islands at the entrance and landscape the islands as set for the in
code.
Response: Because the existing drainage patterns, it is less difficult to drain to the two
islands instead of the landscapes at the entrance of the building.
7. The calculation for interior landscaping in the VLTA need to be revised. The landscape plan
shows that building foundation plantings and landscaping in islands not on the properiy as
counting towards the 10 percent ViJA required. Building foundation planting Building
foundation planting has its own requirement and landscaping not on the subject property
cannot count towards the interior landscaping. Revise.
Response: Please see revised landscape plan for calculation.
8. Applicant shall need to discuss with the Engineering Db�u ted towardslrequired
providing landscapmg in tha public right-of way cannot
landscaping.
Response: Noted.
9. A ten foot wide south perimeter landscape buffer is required. Please show in landscape data
table and on landscape plan how the landscape requirements in this buffer will be met.
Response: As discussed in DRC, the existing carport to the south currently sits t4ft into the
required IOft landscape buffer. We are not proposing to relocate the existing carport;
therefore a�6ft landscape buffer will be provided along the south property line.
10. The landscape data table indicates that accent and palm trees are being used in lieu of shade
tree. The subject property requires 29 shade trees, show how that number is being met by use
of palm and accents as set forth in CDC Section 3-1202.B.1.
Response: Please see revised landscape plan for calculation.
11. Demonstrate how proposed landscaping is more attractive than what is typically required as
set forth in Comprehensive Landscape Program•
Response: We are proposing 8 d�erent tree species on-site whereas the Comprehensive
Landscape Program only requires S different tree species and this will make the site more
attractive that what is rypically required.
12. Provide a detail of the new dumpster pad enclosure. It shall be required that the color,
materials and finish of the dumpster pad enclosure match that of that of the principle
building.
Response: Please see attached dumpster enclosure detail on the first sheet of the architect
site plans.
13. The site plan shows a 7.5 building setback on the south side of the property. Although the
building is located in the Island Estate Plan, the Plan states that multi-family land uses shall
follow the HDR District development standards in the Community Development Code.
Revise plan.
Response: The plan has been revise to show the existing building set back the south side of
the properry will remain the same in the proposed conditions.
14. In regards to Residential Iniill Criteria 2-504.F.1, provide competent substantial evidence
that the project is otherwise impractical without deviations in regards to parking and
landscaping requirements.
Response: The proposed Island Way Towers project is an existing structure that has
inescapable limitations that inhibit the abiliry to meet certain code requirements. The
submitted design utilizes the available area to highest and best use that will enhance both
property values and the quality of life on Island Estates while reducing Intensity. Without
deviations with regards to landscaping (buffers), the parking ratio on-site would be reduced
to less than one space per unit. And this would have a tremendous impact to the project.
15. In regards to the Residential Infill Criteria 2-504.F.6, provide competent substantial evidence
that the form and function of the project, as proposed, will enhance the community character
in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
Response: The proposed project was in a state of disrepair that it devalues the property in
the immediate vicinity and is cumbersome to the reputation Clearwater seeks to project. The
proposed project brings the property up to a standard all of Cdearwater can be proud of. It
also will be an example of how older buildings can be brought back to have a second life
through a green venue.
Public Art Review
OS/24/2013-Due to the valuation of this project at $21,000,000, the Public Art and Design
Program fee will be due and payable on this project prior to the issuance of a Building
Construction Permit. This fee may be substantial and it is recommended that you contact
Christopher Hubbard at 727.562.4837 to discuss the fee assessment.
