Amendment to Beach by Design
City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
In 2001, the City adopted Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and
Design Guidelines. This special area plan sets forth a series of revitalization strategies for
Clearwater Beach and established character districts to regulate land use, location of uses, and,
generally, the scale of development. The proposed amendment to the Marina District section of
Beach by Design incorporates language referencing new "Marina District Design Guidelines and
Specifications" and adopts by reference detailed design guidelines and specifications for the
development of the public boardwalk contained within the document which was developed by
the City's Parks and Recreation Department.
The Marina District covers the area to the east of Poinsettia Avenue, north of Causeway
---- Boulevard, and south of the Clearwater Beach Recreation
ROCNAWAY
o Complex. It is a mixed-use district occupied by residential,
� motel, and limited commercial uses in at-grade structures
O BRYMONT m primarily one-two stories in height. Beach by Design supports the
; � � redevelopment of the Marina District into a pedestrian and
� 9'�NMARCO y W boater-friendl destination that includes a variet of dock
a � 3 Y Y
�„A,� � � facilities and water related uses. To realize this vision, Beach by
� � Design offers development incentives of increased building
0
� height for waterfront development proposals that provide to the
N
W City a 15-foot wide boardwalk within a 20-foot public access
t easement adjacent to the seawall, either over water or on the land
as determined by the City. Non-waterfront development proposals are able to capitalize upon the
height bonus by contributing financially to the Papaya and Baymont Street streetscapes or the
public boardwalk in a manner determined by the City. The public boardwalk is intended to run
along Clearwater Harbor from Baymont Street to the north, to Causeway Boulevard (State Road
60), the southern boundary of the District, and should be connected when appropriate to the City
Marina's boardwalk located under Causeway Boulevard.

ANALYSIS:
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Proposed Ordinance No. 8438-13 includes an amendment to Section II. Future Land Use,
Subsection C. The Marina District, of Beach by Design, in order to include language referring to
the "Marina District Design Guidelines and Specifications." It also adopts by reference the
"Marina District Design Guidelines and Specif cations" which provides specific information
regarding the design of the boardwalk as well as the sidewalk along East Shore Drive.
The new design guidelines and specifications address requirements including finish materials,
lighting, trash receptacles, benches, landscaping, and specific requirements related to the
boardwalk constxuction and materials (e.g., timber piles, decking, and railing). Typical sections
of the boardwalk and East Shore Drive sidewalk are provided as well, in order to provide further
guidance and illustrate the requirements. The document also identifies two required public entry
nodes at Baymont and Papaya Streets and provides specifications with regards to finish
materials, landscaping, bicycle racks, water fountains, and lighting for these entry nodes.
CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS:
Section 4-601, Community Development Code, sets forth the procedures and criteria for
reviewing text amendments. All text amendments must comply with the following:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan identified the following Goals, Objectives,
and Policies which will be furthered by the proposed Code amendments:
Goal A.5 The City of Clearwater shall identify and utilize a citywide design
structure comprised of a hierarchy of places and linkages. The citywide
design structure will serve as a guide to development and land use
decisions while protecting those elements that make the city uniquely
Clearwater.
Objective A.5.5 Promote high quality design standards that support Clearwater's image
and contribute to its identity.
Policy A.5.5.4 Update Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and
Design Guidelines, the Clearwater powntown Redevelopment Plan, as
needed.
Objective A.6.1 The redevelopment of blighted, substandard, inefficient and/or obsolete
areas shall be a high priority and promoted through the implementation of
redevelopment and special area plans, the construction of catalytic private
projects, city investment, and continued emphasis on property
maintenance standards.

'u ':�P'�* �.� ..,., , . .
Policy A.6.1.1 Redevelopment shall be encouraged, where appropriate, by providing
development incentives such as density bonuses for significant lot
consolidation and/or catalytic projects, as well as the use of transfer of
developments rights pursuant to approved special area plans and
redevelopment plans.
Policy A.6.1.2 Renewal of the beach tourist district shall be encouraged through the
establishment of distinct districts within Clearwater Beach, the
establishment of a limited density pool of additional hotel rooms to be
used in specified geographic areas of Clearwater Beach, enhancement of
public rights-of-way, the vacation of public rights-of-way when
appropriate, transportation improvements, inter-beach and intra-beach
transit, transfer of development rights and the use of design guidelines,
pursuant to Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach
and Design Guidelines.
Objective A.6.6 Tourism is a substantial element of the City's economic base and as such
the City shall continue to support the maintenance and enhancement of
this important economic sector.
The proposed amendment is intended to provide a clear and cohesive set of design guidelines
and specifications to be used to develop the public boardwalk in the Marina District. The
development will be designed to maintain and support the envisioned character of the
neighborhood. The Marina District is the northern gateway to Clearwater Beach and has a
high profile location along Clearwater Harbor and visibility from Causeway Boulevard. The
construction of a public boardwalk along Clearwater Harbor will create a pleasant pedestrian
environment and will encourage a flow of pedestrians that will contribute to the economic
development and tourism activities along the east shore of Clearwater Beach. As such, the
proposed amendment will further the above referenced elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code
and other City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan.
The proposed text amendment will further the purposes of the CDC in that it will be
consistent with the following purposes set forth in CDC Section 1-103:
• Allowing property owners to enhance the value of their property through innovative and
creative redevelopment (Section 1-103.B.1., CDC�.
• 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 (Section 1-
103.B.2., CDC).
• Protect the character and the social and economic stability of all parts of the city through
the establishment of reasonable standards which encourage the orderly and beneficial
development of land within the city (Section 1-103. E. 2., CDC).
Community Development Board — July 16, 2013

L��. � �_. ,, �_;,
• Preserve the natural resources and aesthetic character of the community for both the
resident and tourist population consistent with the city's economic underpinnings
(Section 1-103. E. S., CDC).
• Provide for open spaces through efficient project design and layout that addresses
appropriate relationships between buildings on the project site and adjoining properties,
including public rights-of-way and other public spaces (Section 1-103.E.6., CDC).
The amendment proposed by this ordinance will further the above referenced purposes by
providing clear design guidelines and specifications for constructing the public boardwalk in
the Marina District in Clearwater Beach that will serve to protect the character and the social
and economic stability of Clearwater Beach. Due to the high visibility of the Marina District
from Causeway Boulevard, and its location within Clearwater Beach, a public boardwalk
with a network of docks will add to the aesthetic character of the community for both
resident and tourist populations. It will also provide for a unique public space that will
encourage the flow of pedestrians throughout the east shore, thereby enhancing the area's
sense of place and the economic vitality of the District.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendment to Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and
Design is consistent with and will further the goals of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and
the purposes of the Community Development Code. Further, the proposed ordinance adopts by
reference the "Marina District Design Guidelines and Specifications" which establishes criteria
to be followed for construction of a new boardwalk in the Marina District and sidewalk
improvements along East Shore Drive. Based upon the above, the Planning and Development
Department recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 8438-13 that amends Beach by
Design.
