Item # 3
Council 2013-06-06 3
7.1 Approve the 2013 Affordable Housing Inventory List pursuant to requirements of
Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes, adopt Resolution 13-10 and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same.
The 2006 Legislature amended Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, adding Section
166.0451 entitled “Disposition of municipal property for affordable housing.” The
state statute includes that the governing body of each municipality must review
the proposed affordable housing inventory list at a public hearing, and may revise
the list at the conclusion of the hearing. Following the public hearing, the local
governing body must adopt a resolution that includes an inventory list of such
property deemed appropriate for affordable housing development.
On February 21, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution 08-01 establishing the
first 2008 Affordable Housing Inventory listing twenty-nine parcels of City-owned
land appropriate for use as affordable housing. Upon further analysis and due
consideration, on November 5, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution 09-41
revising the first 2008 Affordable Housing Inventory to identify only two City-
owned parcels of land appropriate for use as affordable housing. Subsequent to
the adoption of Resolution 09-41and resolution 10-12, the City has acquired no
additional parcels of land or further identified any others to which it has title as
appropriate for use as affordable housing.
Section (1) of the statutory amendment requires that every three years each
municipality prepare an inventory list of all real property within its jurisdiction to
which the municipality holds fee simple title that is appropriate for use as
affordable housing. Therefore, the 2013 Affordable Housing Inventory List
includes the address and legal description of each property, and specifies whether
the property is vacant or improved.
Councilmember Jay Polglaze moved to approve the 2013 Affordable Housing Inventory
List pursuant to requirements of Chapter 166.0451, Florida Statutes. The motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Resolution 13-10 was presented and read by title only. Vice Mayor Paul Gibson moved
to adopt Resolution 13-10. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote
was:
"Ayes": Mayor George N. Cretekos, Vice Mayor Paul Gibson, Councilmember
Doreen Hock-DiPolito, Councilmember Bill Jonson, and Councilmember
Jay E. Polglaze.
"Nays": None.

company.
This Resolution provides a commitment of the city to support the QTI Program,
which provides a performance-based incentive. The incentive is negotiated in

City of Clearwater. It does not guarantee payment until such time as the terms

Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) located on Island Estates and Winter’s
Dolphin Tale Adventure (WDTA) located in downtown are major tourist attractors
for the City of Clearwater. The CMA has outgrown its current facilities and needs
to build a new facility in order to accomplish its mission to preserve marine life
and the environment while inspiring the human spirit through leadership in
education, research, rescue, rehabilitation and release.
The CMA proposes to lease for 60 years, certain city-owned real property located
west of Osceola Avenue, east of the unimproved right-of way of Pierce
Boulevard, north of Pierce Street and south of Cleveland Street generally
referred to as the City Hall Property. A number of sections of the City Charter
prohibit leasing of this city owned property without a referendum.
The City of Clearwater has incorporated within its comprehensive plan, a future
land use element requiring that redevelopment activities be sensitive to the City’s
waterfront and promote public access to the City’s waterfront resources, and a
coastal management element encouraging the preservation of recreational and
commercial working waterfronts, marinas, and other water-dependent facilities.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Annexation, Initial Land Use Plan Designation of Residential Low (RL) and Initial Zoning Atlas Designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1544 Levern Street (Lot 1, Block E, Bonair Hill Subdivision in Section 11,
Township 29 South, Range 15 East); and pass Ordinances 8415-13, 8416-13 and 8417-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-03004)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.19-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
single-family dwelling. It is located on the north side of Levern Street, approximately 160 feet west of Wood
Avenue. The applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from
the City. The property is located within an enclave and is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north,
south, and west. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential
Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent
Levern Street right-of-way. The applicant has not yet paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the
additional costs to extend City sewer service to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of
Clearwater. The property is located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station
47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste,
police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of
service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located
within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed RL Future Land Use Plan category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this
property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to
be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is
consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north, south, and west; therefore the
annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation
of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1212 Aloha Lane (Lot 3, Block 3, Sunset Knoll in Section 3, Township
29 South, Range 15 East); and Pass Ordinances 8403-13, 8404-13 and 8405-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-03005)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.164-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
single-family dwelling. It is located on the north side of Aloha Lane, approximately 125 feet east of Douglas
Avenue.The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will
connect to City sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer
Project. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north. It is proposed that the property be
assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste service will be provided to the
property by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the
fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police District
II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency
medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate
capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will
not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located
within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of
the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s minimum
dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

8407-13 and 8408-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-03006)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.178-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
single-family dwelling. It is located on the south side of Parkwood Street, approximately 400 feet east of Betty
Lane. The applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid waste service from
the City. The Planning and Development Department is requesting that the 0.092-acres of abutting Parkwood
Street right-of-way not currently within the City limits also be annexed. The property is located within an enclave
and is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north and south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a
Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent
Parkwood Street right-of-way. The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the
additional costs to extend City sewer service to this property. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of
Clearwater. The property is located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station
51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid
waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their
levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located
within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed RL Future Land Use Plan category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this
property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to
be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is
consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the north and south; therefore the
annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation
of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1270 Palm Street (Lot 11, Knight’s Acres in Section 3, Township 29
South, Range 15 East); and Pass Ordinances 8412-13, 8413-13 and 8414-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-04009)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.118-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a
single-family dwelling. It is located on the north side of Palm Street, approximately 200 feet west of Betty Lane.
The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to
City sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The
property is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the south. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future
Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection of solid waste service will be provided to the
property by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the
fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police District
II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency
medical services will be provided to this property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate
capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will
not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the
urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located
within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of
the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s minimum
dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the south; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an Amendment to the Development Agreement between Sea Captain, a Florida General Partnership (the property owner),
and the City of Clearwater, providing for the allocation of 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve established in Beach by
Design; adopt Resolution 13-06, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (DVA2010-08001A)
SUMMARY:
On January 13, 2011, City Council approved a development agreement with the Sea Captain, a Florida General Partnership,
for a property located at 40 Devon Drive. This agreement allocated 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve on Clearwater
Beach for the construction of a new hotel on this site. The site plan approved in conjunction with this agreement (FLD2010-
08004) was attached to the development agreement as Exhibit A. The development order authorizing that site plan expired
on December 21, 2012. The proposed amendment to the development agreement replaces the expired Exhibit A with a
newly approved site plan (FLD2013-02007). There are no changes between the newly approved site plan and the one
originally associated with the development agreement.
The total 0.829-acre parcel is located on the north side of Devon Drive, approximately 150 feet east of Coronado Drive. The
majority of the subject property (0.659 acre) is zoned Tourist (T) District, but the eastern portion (0.17 acre) of the subject
property north of the adjacent detached dwelling at 94 Devon Drive is zoned Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR)
District and is not part of Beach by Design.
The subject property is currently developed with a 27-room motel. However, it is proposed to be redeveloped under
FLD2013-02007 with an overnight accommodation use of a total of 85 rooms (128.98 rooms/acre on the acreage zoned
Tourist (T) District, including the allocation of 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve), approximately 7,986 square feet of
accessory uses to the hotel and a height of 75.25 feet (to top of roof deck). On May 21, 2013, the Community Development
Board (CDB) approved with 17 conditions of approval FLD2013-02007 for the construction of the 85-room hotel with
associated amenities.
The proposed hotel and its accessory uses are located solely within the area zoned Tourist (T) District (only the retention
area is located with the area zoned Low Medium Density Residential [LMDR] District) and the calculations for density and
impervious surface ratio are based upon only the land area zoned Tourist (T) District.
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be
in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve
under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions:
Provides for the allocation of 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve;
Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in accordance with Community
Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407;
Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed;
For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and
requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and
Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as
practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center.

The designation of Clearwater Beach as a Community Redevelopment District (the "Designation")

compliance with a series of performance standards, including a requirement that resorts containing a hotel

as practicable after the National Hurricane Center posts a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach. The
purpose of such evacuation is to ensure that such a Resort Hotel is evacuated in advance of the period of time
when a hurricane evacuation would be expected in advance of the approach of hurricane force winds.
The City has granted, by City Council Resolution __________, passed and approved on ____________,
20___, Developer's application for Hotel Density Reserve Units pursuant to the Designation, subject to
Developer's compliance with the requirements of the Designation. Developer desires for itself, and its
successors and assigns, as owner, to establish certain rights, duties, obligations and responsibilities with respect
to the use and operation of the Real Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of the allocation of
the Hotel Density Reserve Units to the City and the Designation, which rights, duties, obligations and
responsibilities shall be binding on any and all successors and assigns and will run with the title to the Real
Property.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and restrictions herein set forth and to be observed and
performed, and in further consideration of the allocation of Hotel Density Reserve Units to Developer, and other
good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Developer hereby declares,
covenants and agrees as follows:

Level III Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The total 0.829 acre parcel is located on the
north side of Devon Drive, approximately 150
feet east of Coronado Drive. The subject
property is currently developed with a 27-
room motel.
Development Proposal:
The development proposal before the Board
was previously approved as part of DVA2010-
08001. Due to the requirements of the
companion Flexible Development application
(FLD2010-08004) not being completed, the
proposal has been resubmitted as an
amendment with no changes other than dates
and references to the updated companion
Flexible Development application (FLD2013-02007).
The proposal includes the aforementioned companion FLD2013-02007 application to permit an
overnight accommodation (hotel) use of a total of 85 rooms (128.98 rooms/acre on the acreage
zoned Tourist (T) District, including the allocation of 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve),
approximately 7,986 square feet of accessory uses to the hotel and a height of 75.25 feet (to top
of roof deck). This proposed hotel will have 93 parking spaces on three levels of parking. There
are 10 existing boat slips accessory to the hotel.
Development Agreement:
The Development Agreement is a requirement for the allocation of hotel units from the Hotel
Density Reserve, adopted as an amendment to Beach by Design under Ordinance 7925-08 on
July 17, 2008. A total of 947 hotel rooms are available under the Hotel Density Reserve and this
proposal requests the allocation of 53 units from it. The City has established the Development
Agreement format as a means to facilitate the allocation of the units and to set forth appropriate
provisions related to the development of the property. The proposed Development Agreement
will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten (10) years, meets the criteria for the allocation of
units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and includes the following main
provisions:
Provides for the allocation of 53 units from the Hotel Density Reserve;
Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupan cy in
accordance with Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407;
Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not
constructed;

Level III Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel
unit to a residential use and requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such
hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and
Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be
closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is
posted by the National Hurricane Center.
The Community Development Board (CDB) has been provided with the most recent
Development Agreement.
The City Council may enter into Development Agreements to encourage a stronger commitment
on comprehensive and capital facilities planning, to ensure the provision of adequate public
facilities for development, to encourage the efficient use of resources, and to reduce the
economic cost of development. The CDB is required to review the proposed Development
Agreement and make a recommendation to the City Council.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application and supporting materials
at its meeting of April 4, 2013, and deemed the development proposal to be legally sufficient to
move forward to the Community Development Board (CDB), based upon the following findings
of fact and conclusions of law:
Findings of Fact: The Planning and Development Department, having reviewed all evidence
submitted by the applicant and requirements of the Community Development Code (CDC), finds
that there is substantial competent evidence to support the following findings of fact:
1. That the total 0.829 acre parcel is located on the north side of Devon Drive, approximately
150 feet east of Coronado Drive;
2. That the property is located within the Tourist (T) District (0.659 acre) and Low Medium
Density Residential (LMDR) District (0.17 acre), and the Resort Facilities High (RFH) and
Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Plan categories;
3. That the proposed hotel and its accessory uses are located solely within the area zoned
Tourist (T) District (only the retention area is located with the area zoned Low Medium
Density Residential [LMDR] District) and the calculations for density and impervious
surface ratio are based upon only the land area zoned Tourist (T) District; and
4. That the development proposal is subject to the requirements of Beach by Design, the Design
Guidelines contained therein as the proposed hotel is located totally within the Small Motel
character district and the criteria for allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve.
Conclusions of Law: The Planning and Development Department, having made the above
findings of fact, reaches the following conclusions of law:

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Development Agreement between Clearwater Grande Development, LLC (the property owner) and the City of Clearwater,
providing for the allocation of 80 overnight accommodation units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design; adopt
Resolution 13-05, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (DVA2013-03001)
SUMMARY:
The 1.437 acre-subject property is located on the south side of South Gulfview Boulevard, approximately 894 feet west of Gulf
Boulevard. The subject property is currently developed with a 91-room hotel (Quality Inn) and its associated parking lot. The
existing building is located on the east side of the site and oriented north/south. The property is located within the Tourist (T)
District and the Resort Facilities High (RFH) Future Land Use Plan category. The subject property is located in the Clearwater
Pass character district of Beach by Design.
The development proposal would retain the Quality Inn while redeveloping the existing parking area with a new 14-story, 90-
room Hampton Inn and Suites. On March 22, 2005, the Community Development Board approved Case FLD2004-12088 for the
Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density to retain the existing 91 overnight accommodationunits on the subject
property.
On May 21, 2013, the Community Development Board approved with 19 conditions a Flexible Development application to permit
a 171-room overnight accommodation use (FLD2013-03011). As a part of this application, the owners are proposing to utilize the
existing 91-rooms obtained through the Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density while requesting an additional 80
hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design, resulting in a total of 171 hotel rooms on the property. The
proposal will reduce the number of rooms in the Quality Inn from 91 to 81 rooms by converting 16 standard rooms into eight
suites, and two standard rooms into storage space. These ten reduced rooms will then be added to the overall number of hotel
rooms for the proposed Hampton Inn and Suites (90 rooms).
The Development Agreement proposes to allow 171 overnight accommodation units with a density of 118.99 rooms per acre on
net lot acreage, which includes the allocation of 80 units from the Hotel Density Reserve on a lot of 62,620 square feet of lot area
which is below the maximum density of 150 units per acre as set forth in Beach by Design special area plan. A total of 206 off-
street parking spaces will be provided for the use of both hotels. The number of parking spaces complies with the development
standard of 1.2 spaces per unit as set forth in the Community Development Code.
The development proposal will not degrade the Level of Service (LOS D or better) on surrounding transportation facilities nor
adversely affect the nearby signalized intersection, which is consistent with Metropolitan Planning Organizations concurrency
management for transportation facilities.
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect
for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by
Design and includes the following main provisions:
· Provides for the allocation of 80 units from the Hotel Density Reserve;
· Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed;
· For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and
requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and
· Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable
after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center.
The Community Development Board reviewed this Development Agreement at its public hearing on May 21, 2013, and
recommended approval.

Suites) through two separate applications (FLD2012-11023 & FLD2012-11024) for a total of
207 hotel rooms between the two hotels through two separate development agreements
(DVA2012-11001 & DVA2012-11002) with the City. Both Flexible Development applications
were approved by the Community Development Board on January 15, 2013. At the same
meeting, the Community Development Board also recommended approval of the Development
Agreements to the City Council, but the Development Agreement was denied by the City
Council on February 21, 2013.
This development request proposes to maintain the existing Quality Inn hotel and build a new
fourteen-story 90-room hotel (Hampton Inn & Suites) for a total of 171 hotel rooms on one lot.
This request no longer includes a minor lot adjustment; rather, the owners propose to utilize the
existing 91-rooms obtained through a Termination of Status as a Nonconformity for Density in
2005 while requesting 80 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design.
The new hotel will be built on the portion of the subject property that currently consists of the
existing parking lot.
To note for comparison purposes, there are a few significant architectural and design changes to
the building under consideration from the hotel building that was approved by the CDB. The
most obvious change is that the height of the building has been reduced from 150 feet to flat roof
top to 134 feet to flat roof top. The reduction to the number of hotel rooms requested from the
previous application (207 units) to the current request (171 units) has resulted in a fourteen-story
building rather that a fifteen-story building. Another structural change is the reduced height of
the east façade tower from 150 feet to 79.6 feet, also a result of a request for less hotel rooms.
Less hotel rooms has resulted in a significant decrease in the approximate area of the hotel from
214,884 square feet to 184,131 square feet. Lastly, a design change implemented to the parking
garage windows on the fourth and fifth levels shows that the windows have been increased in
size to give the impression that the parking garage is four levels rather than five levels, a clever
use of a simple architectural technique to visually minimize the height of the building.
The Development Agreement is a requirement for the allocation of hotel units from the Hotel
Density Reserve, adopted as an amendment to Beach by Design under Ordinance 7925-08 on
July 17, 2008. A total of 1,385 hotel rooms were established under the Hotel Density Reserve
where currently a total of 947 units are available within the density reserve; this development
agreement proposal requests the allocation of 80 units from it. The City has established the
criteria that shall be met to facilitate the allocation of the units. Such criteria includes that
accessory uses shall be consistent with a hotel; that no hotel room can be converted to a
residential use; that access to the hotel room must be through a lobby and internal corridors; that
the hotel shall establish a reservation system with a lobby/front desk area; and that the
development shall comply with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) countywide
approach to the application of the concurrency management for transportation facilities. The
proposed redevelopment project meets the above criteria.
The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten (10) years,
meets the aforementioned criteria for the allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve
under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions:

Requires the developer to obtain building
permits and certificates of occupancy in
accordance with Community Development
Code (CDC) Section 4-407;
Requires the return of any hotel unit
obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve
that is not constructed;
For units allocated from the Hotel Density
Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any
hotel unit to a residential use and requires
the recording of a covenant restricting use
of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and
Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be
closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is
posted by the National Hurricane Center.
The Community Development Board (CDB) has been provided with the most recent
Development Agreement.
The City Council may enter into Development Agreements to encourage a stronger commitment
on comprehensive and capital facilities planning, to ensure the provision of adequate public
facilities for development, to encourage the efficient use of resources, and to reduce the
economic cost of development. The CDB is required to review the proposed Development
Agreement and make a recommendation to the City Council.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the application and supporting materials
at its meeting of April 4, 2013, and deemed the development proposal to be legally sufficient to
move forward to the Community Development Board (CDB), based upon the following findings
of fact and conclusions of law:
Findings of Fact
The Planning and Development Department, having reviewed all evidence submitted by the
applicant and requirements of the Community Development Code (CDC), finds that there is
substantial competent evidence to support the following findings of fact:

6. The subject development proposal will be located on a parcel of land with a lot width of
247.98 feet (along South Gulfview Boulevard) and 62,620 square feet of lot area;
7. That the proposed density of 118.99 units per acre is below the maximum density of 150
units per acre set forth in Beach by Design special area plan;
8. That both hotels will have a reservation system with an internal lobby front desk area;
9. That all accessory uses are consistent with a typical mid-priced hotels;

12. That the development proposal is subject to the requirements of Beach by Design, the Design
Guidelines contained therein as the property is located within the Clearwater Pass character
district and the criteria for allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve.
Conclusions of Law
The Planning and Development Department, having made the above findings of fact, reaches the

Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan;
4. That the Development Agreement is consistent with the Visions, Goals, Objectives and
Policies of Beach by Design and the Clearwater Pass District; and
5. That the Development Agreement complies with the criteria in Beach by Design for the
allocation of units from the Hotel Density Reserve.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Community Development Code providing for a revised definition for family and a new definition for
housekeeping unit, consistent with the terms of the conciliation/voluntary compliance agreement entered into by and between the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the City of Clearwater and pass Ordinance 8398-13 on first
reading. (TA2013-03001)
SUMMARY:
On October 5, 2012, a complaint was filed against the City of Clearwater with the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) alleging discrimination based on disability. In January 2013, the City and HUD (on behalf of the
complainant) entered into a Conciliation Agreement, which is a voluntary and full settlement of the disputed complaint. Under the
terms of this agreement, the City agreed to amend and/or add definitions for “family” and “housekeeping unit” within 180 days of
the effective date of the agreement.
Ordinance 8398-13 includes amendments to Section 8-102, Definitions, of the Community Development Code, consistent with the
terms of the Conciliation Agreement. Modifications are included to the existing definition of family to provide further clarity, and
a new definition for housekeeping unit is proposed. The new definition for housekeeping unit includes six situations that would
exclude a group from being classified as a housekeeping unit, such as presence of interior doors with padlocks or keyed doorknobs
limiting tenants’ access, or if members have separate leases or subleases and make separate payments to the landlord, if the group
significantly reforms over the course of 12 months or during the lease term, or if members do not engage in group living activities
such as shopping, cooking and eating. Any of these situations would create a presumption that the group is not a bona fide
housekeeping unit.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed text amendment at its meeting of May 21, 2013 and
unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.

BACKGROUND:
On October 5, 2012, a complaint was filed against the City of Clearwater with the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) alleging discrimination based on
disability. In January 2013, the City and HUD (on behalf of the complainant) entered into a
Conciliation Agreement, which is a voluntary and full settlement of the disputed complaint.
Staff is proposing a text amendment to amend the definition for “family” and provide a new
definition for “housekeeping unit” consistent with the terms of the Conciliation Agreement.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 8398-13 includes amendments to Section 8-102, Definitions, of the
Community Development Code. As noted above, these amendments are stipulated within the
Conciliation Agreement between the City and HUD.
Although the Community Development Code already includes a definition for family,
modifications are included to provide further clarity. Additionally, this definition references
housekeeping unit which is not otherwise defined within the Code. A new definition for
housekeeping unit is proposed, as defined within the Conciliation Agreement, which also
includes six situations that would exclude a group from being classified as a housekeeping unit.
For example, the presence of interior doors with padlocks or keyed doorknobs limiting tenants’
access would create a presumption that the group is not a bona fide housekeeping unit.
Alternatively, if members have separate leases or subleases and make separate payments to the
landlord, if the group significantly reforms over the course of 12 months or during the lease term,
according to the provisions in the new definition, or if members do not engage in group living
activities such as shopping, cooking and eating, it may be presumed that the group is not a bona
fide housekeeping unit. The new definition for housekeeping unit also excludes residentially
zoned properties acting as rooming or boarding houses (defined within) as these uses are
prohibited within the Code.

Level III Text Amendment Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
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 Goal and Policy
which will be furthered by the proposed Code amendments:
Goal C.1 An affordable variety of standard housing units in decent and safe
neighborhoods to meet the needs of current and future residents regardless
of race, nationality, age, marital status, handicap, or religion.
Policy C.1.1.6 The City shall further fair housing so that a variety of housing choices are
available to households without regard to religion, handicap, age, race,
national origin, or marital status.
The proposed amendments are intended to clarify certain definitions within the Community
Development Code that are commonly referenced when determining whether activities
within single-family residential districts are consistent with the defined uses of the district.
As such, the above referenced elements of the Comprehensive Plan will be furthered.
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 Section 1-103.
It is the purpose of this Development Code to implement the Comprehensive Plan of the
city; to promote the health, safety, general welfare and quality of life in the city; to guide
the orderly growth and development of the city; to establish rules of procedure for land
development approvals; to enhance the character of the city and the preservation of
neighborhoods; and to enhance the quality of life of all residents and property owners of
the city (Section 1-103.A., CDC).
It is the further purpose of this Development Code to establish permitted uses
corresponding with the purpose and character of the respective zoning districts and limit
uses within each district to those uses specifically authorized (Section 1-103.E.8. CDC).
The amendments proposed by this ordinance implement the Comprehensive Plan by
providing clarity to the definition of family and creating the new definition of housekeeping
unit, which, as outlined in the analysis above, are related to ensuring the City is furthering
fair housing in the city. The amendments will also further the above referenced purposes by
clarifying the existing rules of development because these definitions affect permitted uses in
residentially zoning districts.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Residential/Office Limited (R/OL) classification to the Institutional (I)
classification and a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the Office (O) District to the Institutional (I) District for property located at 150
South McMullen Booth Road (consisting of a portion of the Northwest ¼ of Section 16, Township 29 South, Range 16 East); and
pass Ordinances 8400-13 and 8401-13 on first reading. (LUP2013-02001 and REZ2013-02001)
SUMMARY:
This future land use map amendment and rezoning application involves a 3.61-acre parcel located on the west side of South
McMullen Booth Road, approximately 100 feet south of Cherry Lane. The request is to change the property’s Future Land Use Map
designation of Residential/Office Limited (R/OL) to Institutional (I) and the zoning district from Office (O) to Institutional (I).
The parcel contains two buildings that currently contain publishing, office and educational facilities uses. The main building, which
was constructed in 1986 and approximately 18,184 square feet, is used by Rue Educational Publishing as a mix of offices, classrooms
and publishing space. The second building, which was added in 2010, is an approximately 1,440 square foot modular building used
by Rue Educational as classroom space. In December 2012, the parcel was purchased by Calvary Baptist Church, which is located on
the southwest corner of Drew Street and McMullen Booth Road. The church has been purchasing parcels adjacent to and in the
vicinity of the subject property over the last several years in order to accommodate growth of the church, associated school campus
and athletic facilities. Abutting properties to the north and west are owned by Calvary Baptist; the recently completed baseball field to
the west included landscape improvements to the east side of the subject property. The existing publishing, office and educational
facilities uses will continue to operate until June 30, 2013.
Calvary Baptist Church plans to use the property as a center for its youth ministries with minimal changes to the site and buildings,
except for interior renovations that may include removing some current walls to allow for a worship area. A development application
has not been submitted at this time; however, the applicant has engaged a local architecture firm and understands all necessary
permits must be obtained.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed future land use mapamendment and zoning atlas
amendment isconsistent with the Community Development Code as specified below:
The proposed amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Countywide Plan Rules, and the Community
Development Code.
The proposed amendments are compatible with the surrounding property and character of the neighborhood.
Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
The proposed amendments will not have an adverse impact on the natural environment.
The proposed amendments will not have an adverse impact on the use of property in the immediate area.
The available uses in the Institutional (I) District are compatible with the surrounding area.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning
Council and the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The application is a small-scale
amendment so review and approval by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is not
required.
The Community Development Board will review these applications at its public hearing on June 18, 2013 and its recommendation
will be presented by staff at the City Council meeting on June 19, 2013.

CASE: LUP2013-02001
REQUEST: To amend the present Future Land Use Map designation from Residential/Office
Limited (R/OL) to Institutional (I). GENERAL DATA:
Agent……………………… Brian J. Aungst, Jr., Macfarlane Ferguson & McMullen, P.A.
Applicant / Owner.............. First Baptist Church of Clearwater a/k/a Calvary Baptist Church
Location……..................... 150 McMullen Booth Road, located on the west side of McMullen Booth Road
approximately 100 feet south of Cherry Lane.
Property Size…................. 3.61 acres
ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
This case involves a 3.61-acre property located on the west side
of McMullen Booth Road south of Cherry Lane. The property is comprised of one parcel, which contains two buildings that function with publishing, office and educational facilities uses on
the property. The main building, which was constructed in 1986
and is approximately 18,184 square feet, is used by Rue
Educational Publishing as a mix of offices, classrooms and publishing space. The second building, which was added in 2010, is an approximately 1,440 square foot modular building
used by Rue Educational as classroom space. This development
was approved through the Flexible Standard Development (FLS)
application process in 2009 (FLS2009-08013). In December 2012 the parcel was purchased by Calvary Baptist Church, which is located on the southwest corner of Drew Street and McMullen
Booth Road. The church has been purchasing parcels adjacent to
and in the vicinity of the subject property over the last several
years in order to accommodate growth of the church, associated school campus and athletic facilities. Abutting properties to the
north and west are owned by Calvary Baptist; the recently
completed baseball field to the west included landscape
improvements to the east side of the subject property. The
subject property will function with the existing publishing, office and educational facilities uses until June 30, 2013.
Request:
The request is to change the property’s Future Land Use Map
designation of Residential/Office Limited (R/OL) to Institutional
(I). A request for a rezoning of the property from Office (O) to Institutional (I) is being processed concurrently with this case
(see REZ2013-02001).

Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION
Calvary Baptist Church plans to use the property as a
center for its youth ministries with minimal changes
to the site and buildings, except for interior
renovations that may include removing some current walls to allow for a worship area. A development
application has not been submitted at this time;
however, the applicant has engaged a local
architecture firm and understands all necessary
permits must be obtained.
Vicinity Characteristics:
Adjacent to the property, to the north, are single
family homes and a vacant lot, to the south is a social
center, to the west is a recently completed baseball field used by Calvary High School and to the east,
across McMullen Booth Road, are a single family
home and a mobile home park. Approximately
1,015 linear feet, or 62 percent of the perimeter
property boundary, abuts properties with a Future Land Use classification of Institutional (I). The
remainder abuts properties with Residential Urban
(RU) and Residential Low Medium (RLM) Future
Land Use classifications (see Figure 1 below).

Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
Consistency with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan [Sections 4-603.F.1 and 4-603.F.2]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
Applicable goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan which support the proposed amendment include:
Goal A.2 A sufficient variety and amount of Future Land Use categories shall be provided to
accommodate public demand and promote infill development.
Goal A.4 The City shall not permit development to occur unless an adequate level of service is available to accommodate the impacts of development. Areas in which the impact of existing
development exceeds the desired levels of service will be upgraded consistent with the target
dates for infrastructure improvements included in the applicable functional plan element.
Policy A.6.2.1 On a continuing basis, the Community Development Code and the site plan approval process shall be utilized in promoting infill development and/or planned developments
that are compatible.
Objective B.1.4 The City shall specifically consider the existing and planned LOS the road network affected by a proposed development, when considering an amendment to the land use map, rezoning, subdivision plat, or site plan approval.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The request does not conflict with the goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan and furthers said plan as indicated in the following. The proposed integration of the property into the larger church campus is compatible with the mix of uses in
the area and consolidates Calvary Baptist’s property holdings into the appropriate future land use
category. When a site plan is submitted, the Community Development Code will be used to
ensure compatibility with the remaining residential properties to the north. In addition, the
proposal does not degrade the level of service for public facilities below the adopted standards (a detailed public facilities analysis follows in this report).
Consistency with the Countywide Plan Rules
Recommended Findings of Fact:
Section 2.3.3.7.3 of the Countywide Plan Rules states that the purpose of the Institutional (I) future land use classification is to depict those areas of the county that are now used, or
appropriate to be used, for public/semi-public institutional purposes; and to recognize such areas
consistent with the need, character and scale of the institutional use relative to surrounding uses,
transportation facilities, and natural resource features. Section 2.3.3.7.3 also states that the
Institutional (I) future land use classification is generally appropriate to those locations where educational, health, public safety, civic, religious and like institutional uses are required to serve
the community; and to recognize the special needs of these uses relative to their relationship with
surrounding uses and transportation access.

Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION
The subject property is located adjacent to Institutional (I) property owned by the same
institution (Calvary Baptist Church) which is on the southwest corner of Drew Street and
McMullen Booth Road, both signalized arterial roads, in an area that contains a mix of
residential, institutional, and office uses. Future use of the subject property as a center for its youth ministries is consistent with the purposes of the Institutional (I) future land use category
and compatible with surrounding properties and the neighborhood.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the purpose and locational
characteristics of the Countywide Plan Rules.
Compatibility with Surrounding Property/Character of the City & Neighborhood [Section
4-603.F.3 and Section 4-603.F.6]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
Existing surrounding uses consist of single family homes, institutional property owned by the
applicant, the Italian American Club of Greater Clearwater, and a mobile home park. The future
land use designations of surrounding properties include Residential Urban (RU), Institutional (I)
and Residential Low Medium (RLM). The proposed integration of the subject property into the larger church campus for use as a center for its youth ministries is compatible with the
surrounding properties and neighborhood.
The proposed Institutional (I) future land use designation permits 12.5 dwelling units per acre
and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.65. The future land use designations of surrounding properties include Residential Urban (RU) (7.5 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.40), Institutional (I) and
Residential Low Medium (RLM) (10 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.50).
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The Institutional (I) future land use classification requested is consistent with the surrounding
future land use classifications that exist in the vicinity of the subject property. The proposed future land use designation will allow the development of institutional facilities at a density and
scale that is consistent with existing institutional and residential uses in the vicinity of the subject
property. As such, the proposed amendment will allow development that is in character with the
surrounding area.
The proposed Institutional (I) future land use designation is in character with the overall Future Land Use Map designations in the area. Further, the proposal is compatible with surrounding
uses and consistent with the character of the surrounding properties and neighborhood.
Sufficiency of Public Facilities [Section 4-603.F.4]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
To assess the sufficiency of public facilities needed to support potential development on the property, the maximum development potential of the property under the present and requested
Future Land Use Map designations was analyzed (see Table 4). The request for amendment to
the Institutional (I) Future Land Use Map category would increase the amount of development
potential allowed on the site (see Table 4 below).

• Residential/Office Limited (R/OL) – 125 vehicle trips per day per acre.
• Institutional (I), Religious/Civic Facilities – 104 vehicle trips per day per acre. 2. GPD – Gallons per day.
3. Based on 4.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 persons and 2.2 persons per unit.
As shown in Table 6 below, there is a potential reduction in maximum daily trips associated with
the request for amendment to the Institutional (I) Future Land Use designation, which therefore
would not impact the operating level of service for McMullen Booth Road. The change from the
Residential/Office Limited (R/OL) classification to the Institutional (I) classification with a Religious/Civic Facilities use would have the potential to decrease PM Peak Hour trips. The
segment of McMullen Booth Road is currently operating at a Level of Service F, which is below
the adopted roadway level of service standard. McMullen Booth Road is listed as a constrained
facility by the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which means that it
cannot be expanded as necessary to alleviate a substandard level of service condition due to a policy or physical constraint. The potential reduction of 7 PM Peak Hour trips on the roadway
will neither increase nor decrease the level of service of this segment of McMullen Booth Road.

Recommended Conclusions of Law:
Based upon the findings of fact, it is determined that the traffic generated by the proposed
amendment will not result in the degradation of the existing level of service on McMullen Booth
Road. There is an increase in demand for potable water and generation of wastewater, but there
is adequate capacity to accommodate the maximum demand generated by the proposed amendment. There is a decrease in solid waste generated by the proposed amendment.
Furthermore, parkland and recreation facilities will not be affected by the proposed amendment.
Impact on Natural Resources [Section 4-603.F.5]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
No wetlands appear to be located on the subject property. The property is intended to be used by the applicant with few, if any, alterations to the site. There are trees and landscaping on site.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
Based on current information, no wetlands appear to be located on the subject property. The
intent of the applicant is to use the property as a center for its youth ministries with minimal
changes to the site and buildings, except for interior renovations. Any proposed redevelopment is required to be compliant with the City’s tree preservation, landscaping and storm water
management requirements.
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Approval of the Future Land Use Map amendment does not guarantee the right to develop the
subject property. The Future Land Use Map amendment is subject to approval by the Pinellas Planning Council and Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning
Authority. Based on the size of the parcel, review and approval by the Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is not required. The property owner
must comply with all laws and ordinances in effect at the time development permits are

Property Size…................. 3.61 acres
ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
This case involves a 3.61-acre property located on the west side of McMullen Booth Road south of Cherry Lane. The property is comprised of one parcel, which contains two buildings that
function with publishing, office and educational facilities uses on
the property. The main building, which was constructed in 1986
and is approximately 18,184 square feet, is used by Rue Educational Publishing as a mix of offices, classrooms and publishing space. The second building, which was added in
2010, is an approximately 1,440 square foot modular building
used by Rue Educational as classroom space. This development
was approved through the Flexible Standard Development (FLS) application process in 2009 (FLS2009-08013). In December 2012 the parcel was purchased by Calvary Baptist Church, which
is located on the southwest corner of Drew Street and McMullen
Booth Road. The church has been purchasing parcels adjacent to
and in the vicinity of the subject property over the last several years in order to accommodate growth of the church, associated school campus and athletic facilities. Abutting properties to the
north and west are owned by Calvary Baptist; the recently
completed baseball field to the west included landscape
improvements to the east side of the subject property. The subject property will function with the existing publishing, office and educational facilities uses until June 30, 2013.

Calvary Baptist Church plans to use the property as a
center for its youth ministries with minimal changes
to the site and buildings, except for interior
renovations that may include removing some current walls to allow for a worship area. A development
application has not been submitted at this time;
however, the applicant has engaged a local
architecture firm and understands all necessary
permits must be obtained.
Vicinity Characteristics:
Adjacent to the property, to the north, are single
family homes and a vacant lot, to the south is a social
center, to the west is a recently completed baseball
field and to the east, across McMullen Booth Road are a single family home and a mobile home park.
Approximately 1,015 linear feet, or 62 percent of the
perimeter property boundary, abuts properties with a
Zoning Atlas designation of Institutional (I). The
remainder abuts properties with Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), R-2, Single Family
Residential (Pinellas County) and Mobile Home Park
(MHP) Zoning Atlas designations (see Figure 1
below).

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
Consistency of Development with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code and City Regulations [Section 4-602.F.1]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
Applicable goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan which support
the proposed amendment include:
Attachment number 2 \nPage 11 of 17

Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION
Goal A.4 The City shall not permit development to occur unless an adequate level of service is
available to accommodate the impacts of development. Areas in which the impact of existing
development exceeds the desired levels of service will be upgraded consistent with the target dates for infrastructure improvements included in the applicable functional plan element.
Policy A.6.2.1 On a continuing basis, the Community Development Code and the site plan
approval process shall be utilized in promoting infill development and/or planned developments
that are compatible.
Objective B.1.4 The City shall specifically consider the existing and planned LOS the road
network affected by a proposed development, when considering an amendment to the land use
map, rezoning, subdivision plat, or site plan approval.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The request does not conflict with the goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan and furthers said plan as indicated in the following. The proposed
integration of the property into the larger church campus is compatible with the mix of uses in
the area. When a site plan is submitted, the Community Development Code will be used to
ensure compatibility with the remaining residential properties to the north. In addition, the proposal does not degrade the level of service for public facilities below the adopted standards (a
detailed public facilities analysis follows in this report).
Compatibility with Surrounding Property/Character of the City & Neighborhood [Section
4-602.F.2, 4-602.F.3 and Section 4-602.F.4]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
Existing surrounding uses consist of single family homes, institutional property owned by the
applicant, the Italian American Club of Greater Clearwater, and a mobile home park. The future
land use designations of surrounding properties include Residential Urban (RU), Institutional (I)
and Residential Low Medium (RLM). The proposed integration of the subject property into the larger church campus for use as a center for its youth ministries is compatible with the
surrounding properties and neighborhood.
The proposed Institutional (I) District primarily permits government uses, educational facilities,
hospitals, nursing homes, places of worship, and schools. The intent of the Institutional (I) District is to establish areas where public and private organizations can establish and operate
institutions with a public interest without adversely impacting the integrity of adjacent residential
neighborhoods, diminishing the scenic quality of the City of Clearwater or negatively impacting
the safe and efficient movement of people and things within the city.
The proposed Zoning Atlas designation will allow the property owned by Calvary Baptist
Church to be incorporated into the larger church campus and to serve as a center for its youth
ministries. As such, the proposed amendment will allow development that is in character with the
surrounding area.

Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The proposed Zoning Atlas designation is in character with the overall Zoning Atlas designations
in the area. Further, the proposal is compatible and consistent with the uses and character of the
surrounding properties and neighborhood in the vicinity of the subject property.
Sufficiency of Public Facilities [Section 4-602.F.5]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
To assess the sufficiency of public facilities needed to support potential development on the
property, the maximum development potential of the property under the present and requested
Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations were analyzed (see Table 3). Even though this is a Zoning Atlas amendment application, maximum development potential is based on the
underlying future land use, so for purposes of this analysis sufficiency of public facilities is
based on the future land use map designation. The request for amendment to the Institutional (I)
Future Land Use Map category would increase the amount of development potential allowed on
the site (see Table 3 below).

The proposed change in designation would allow an increase in the allowable floor area ratio
(FAR) and thus an increase in square footage.
The current Residential Urban (R/OL) District primarily permits low density residential and
office uses. The proposed Institutional (I) District primarily permits school, church, government
and hospital uses.
As shown in Table 4, the proposed change will not degrade public facilities and services below
acceptable levels.

shows an increase in PM Peak Trips when comparing the existing uses to the maximum
development potential of the proposed Place of Worship use. However, when comparing the
existing maximum development potential to the proposed maximum development potential, the table shows a decrease in PM Peak Trips. Materials submitted by the applicant indicate that the site will only experience significant use on Wednesdays and Sundays when youth worship
services and associated activities are anticipated to take place.

Recommended Conclusions of Law:
Based upon the findings of fact, it is determined that the traffic generated by the proposed amendment will not result in the degradation of the existing level of service on McMullen Booth Road. The segment of McMullen Booth Road is currently operating at a Level of Service F,
which is below the adopted roadway level of service standard, but the potential addition of 16
trips on this roadway is de minimis. McMullen Booth Road is listed as a constrained facility by
the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which means that it cannot be expanded as necessary to alleviate a substandard level of service condition due to a policy or physical constraint. There is an increase in demand for potable water and generation of
wastewater, but there is adequate capacity to accommodate the maximum demand generated by
the proposed amendment. There is a decrease in solid waste generated by the proposed

amendment. Furthermore, parkland and recreation facilities will not be affected by the proposed
amendment.
Location of District Boundaries [Section 4-602.F.6]
Recommended Findings of Fact:
The location of the proposed Institutional (I) District boundaries is consistent with the
boundaries of the subject property. The proposed Institutional (I) District is compatible with the
single family residential uses to the north and east, and the institutional uses to the north, south
and west.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The district boundaries are appropriately drawn in regard to location and classifications of
streets, ownership lines, existing improvements and the natural environment.
REVIEW PROCEDURE:
Approval of the Zoning Atlas amendment does not guarantee the right to develop the subject
property. The property owner must comply with all laws and ordinances in effect at the time development permits are requested, including transportation concurrency provisions of the
Concurrency Management System in Division 9, Community Development Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the foregoing, the Planning and Development Department recommends the following
action:
Recommend APPROVAL of the request for Zoning Atlas amendment from the Office (O)
District to the Institutional (I) District.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Administrative Services Only Agreement between the City and Connecticut General Life Insurance Company for
administration services to be provided by Cigna in connection with the City’s medical insurance for plan year 2013 and authorize
the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
For plan year 2013, the City transitioned from a minimum premium arrangement to a partially self-insured arrangement with Cigna
Healthcare for funding of the City’s medical insurance. This necessitated the implementation of a new Agreement between the
parties providing for the claim and other administration services performed by Cigna in support of the City’s medical insurance
plan.
Following negotiations between the parties, the City and Cigna have reached mutually agreeable terms contained in this
Administrative Services Only Agreement for the remainder of the plan year. There has been no lapse in the service as a result of
the negotiations, as the intent letter provided by Cigna specified that the initial proposed Agreement would govern until a
subsequent agreement is finalized and that this revised Agreement will apply retroactively to the Effective Date of January 1,
2013.
There is no change in the City’s cost for medical insurance related to the approval of this Agreement.

Section 3. Funding and Payment of Claims
a. Employer shall establish a Bank Account, and maintain in the Bank Account an amount sufficient at all times
to fund checks written on it for (i) Plan Benefits; (ii) those charges and fees identified in the Schedule of
Financial Charges as payable through the Bank Account (collectively “Bank Account Payments”); and (iii)

which may be imposed by any governmental authority. Bank Account Payments may include without
limitation: (i) capitated (i.e. fixed per Member) payments to Participating Providers; (ii) amounts owed to

Payments and for all reimbursements due Members under the Plan. Employer shall promptly reimburse
Connecticut General for any Bank Account Payments paid by Connecticut General with its own funds and no
such payment by Connecticut General shall be construed as an assumption of any of Employer’s liability.
This Section 3 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 4. Charges
a. Charges. Connecticut General shall provide to Employer a monthly statement of all charges Employer is
obligated to pay under this Agreement that are not paid as Bank Account Payments. Payment of all billed
charges shall be due on the first day of the month, as indicated on the monthly statement. Payments received
after the last day of the month in which they are due, shall be subject to late payment charges, from the due
date at a rate calculated as follows: the one (1) year Treasury constant maturities rate for the first week ending
in January plus five percent (5%). For purposes of calculating late payment charges, payments received will
be applied first to the oldest outstanding amount due. Connecticut General may reasonably revise the
methodology for calculating late payment charges upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Employer.

c. Retroactive Member Changes and Terminations. Employer shall remain responsible for all charges and Bank
Account Payments incurred or charged through the date Connecticut General processed Employer’s notice of
a retroactive change or termination of Membership. However, if the change or termination would result in a
reduction in charges, Connecticut General shall credit to Employer the reduction in charges charged for the
shorter of (a) the sixty (60) day period preceding the date Connecticut General processes the notice, or (b) the
period from the date of the change or termination to the date Connecticut General processes the notice.
This Section 4 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 5. Enrollment and Determination of Eligibility
a. Eligibility Determinations and Information. Employer is responsible for administering Plan enrollment. In
determining any person's right to benefits under the Plan, Connecticut General shall rely upon enrollment and
eligibility information provided by the Employer. Such information shall identify the effective date of
eligibility and the termination date of eligibility and shall be provided promptly to Connecticut General in a
format and with such other information as reasonably may be required by Connecticut General for the proper
administration of the Plan.
b. Release of Liability. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if
Employer, fails to provide Connecticut General with accurate enrollment and eligibility information, benefit
design requirements, or other agreed-upon information in Connecticut General’s standard timeframe and
format, Connecticut General shall have no liability under this Agreement for any act or omission by
Connecticut General, or its employees, affiliates, subcontractors, agents or representatives, directly or
indirectly caused by such failure.
c. Reconciliation of Eligibility and Information and Default Terminations. Connecticut General will periodically
share potential discrepancies in eligibility information with Employer. Employer will review and reconcile
any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of receipt. If Employer fails to timely do so, Connecticut General
may terminate coverage for any Member not listed as eligible in Employer’s submitted eligibility information.
Section 6. Claim Audits and Confidentiality
a. Claim Audit. Employer may, in accordance with the following requirements and at no additional charge while
this Agreement is in effect, audit Connecticut General’s payment of Plan Benefits:
i. Employer shall provide Connecticut General forty-five (45) days advance written request for audit from
the later of (i) receipt by Connecticut General of the audit scope letter or (ii) the fully executed Claim
Audit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C. Employer will designate with Connecticut General’s
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, an independent, third party auditor to conduct the
audit (the “Auditor). In addition, Employer and Connecticut General will agree upon the date for the
audit during regular business hours at Connecticut General’s office(s). Employer shall be responsible for
its Auditor’s costs. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing prior to the commencement of
the audit, the audit shall be conducted in accordance with the terms of Connecticut General’s Claim Audit
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, which is hereby agreed to by Employer and which shall be signed
by the Auditor prior to the start of the audit.
ii. If Employer has five thousand (5,000) or more employees who are Members, Employer may conduct one
such audit every Plan Year (but not within six (6) months of a prior audit); otherwise, Employer may
conduct one such audit every two (2) Plan Years (but not within eighteen (18) months of a prior audit).

iii. Auditor will review payment documents relating to a random, statistically valid sample of two-hundred
twenty-five (225) claims paid during the two prior Plan years and not previously audited (the “Audit”)
subject to any contrary terms in Participating Provider agreements. With respect to the Audit, the scope
may include types of claims prone to overpayments provided the types of claims prone to underpayments
are equally included and will exclude electronic analysis. Any claim adjustments will be based upon the
actual claims reviewed and not upon statistical projections or extrapolations.
b. Confidentiality
i. Subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, the terms of this Agreement and the Privacy Addendum
in Exhibit D, a signed Business Associate agreement between Employer and its designee, and a signed
Confidentiality Agreement by applicable designee, Connecticut General shall release copies of
confidential claims and Plan Benefit payment information in Connecticut General’s claims system
(“Confidential Information”) and may release copies of proprietary information relating to the Plan in
Connecticut General’s claims system (“Proprietary Information”) to the Employer and/or its designees.
Employer agrees that Employer and its designees will keep Confidential Information and Proprietary
Information confidential and will use Confidential Information and Proprietary Information solely for the
purpose of administering the Plan or as otherwise required by law. Employer is solely responsible for the
consequences of any use, misuse, or disclosure of Confidential Information provided by Connecticut
General pursuant to this paragraph b.
ii. Connecticut General will maintain the confidentiality of all Protected Health Information in its possession
in accordance with the Privacy Addendum in Exhibit D and any applicable state privacy laws, including,
without limitation, 201 CMR 17.00: Massachusetts Standards for the Protection of Personal Information
of Residents of the Commonwealth.
c. Upon termination of this Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 6.b above, Connecticut General
shall make information available to the extent administratively feasible if the Parties agree upon the charge to
be paid by Employer.
The obligations set forth in this Section 6 (b), shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 7. Plan Benefit Liability
a. Employer Liability for Plan Benefits. Employer is responsible for all Plan Benefits including any Plan
Benefits paid as a result of any legal action. Employer is responsible for reimbursing Connecticut General, its
directors, officers and employees for any reasonable expense incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
by them in the defense of any action or proceeding involving a claim for Plan Benefits. Connecticut General
shall reasonably cooperate with Employer in its defense of such actions.
If Employer directs Connecticut General in writing to pay a claim for Extra-Contractual Benefits, Employer is
responsible for funding the payment and such payments shall not be considered in determining
reimbursements or payments under stop loss insurance or in determining any risk-sharing or performance
guarantee reimbursements. Employer shall reimburse Connecticut General for any liability or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) Connecticut General may incur in connection with making such
payments.
b. Employer Liability for Plan Related Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Connecticut General for any
amounts Connecticut General may be required to pay (i) as state premium tax or any similar Plan-related tax,
charge, surcharge or assessment, or (ii) under any unclaimed or abandoned property, or escheat law, with
respect to Plan Benefits and any penalties and/or interest thereon.
The reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Client Name: City of Clearwater Administrative Services Only Agreement 05/29/2013 17 A A A A CONNECTICUT GENERAL COST CONTAINMENT FEES Connecticut General, a Cigna company, administers the following programs to contain costs with respect to charges for health care service/supplies that are covered by the Plan. In administering these programs, Connecticut General contracts with vendors to perform program related services. Specific vendor fees are available upon request. Connecticut General’s charge for administering these programs is the percentage (indicated below) of either (1) the "net savings" (i.e. the difference between the charge that the provider would have made absent the program savings and the charge made as a result of the program savings, less the applicable vendor fee which generally ranges from 7-11% of the program savings) or (2) the "gross savings" (i.e. the difference between the charge that the provider would have made absent the program savings and the charge made as a result of the program savings; Connecticut General pays the applicable vendor fee) or (3) the "recovery" (i.e. the amount recovered) as applicable. For covered services received from non-Participating Providers, Connecticut General may apply discounts available under agreements with third parties or through negotiation of the billed charges. These programs are identified below as the Network Savings Program, Supplemental Network & Medical Bill Review (pre-payment). This is consistent with the claim administration practices applicable to Connecticut General's own health care insurance business when these programs are implemented. Connecticut General charges the percentage shown for administering these programs. Applying these discounts may result in higher payments than if the maximum reimbursable charge is applied. Whereas application of the maximum reimbursable charge may result in the patient being balance billed for the entire unreimbursed amount, applying these discounts avoids balance billing and substantially reduces the patient's out-of pocket cost. MEDICAL AND PHARMACY COST CONTAINMENT 1. Network Savings Program 29% of net savings 2. Supplemental Network 29% of net savings 3.

The cost of a specific third party review is dependent on the nature and complexity of the issue on appeal. In highly complex, non-routine cases or cases related to new technology or experimental-investigational treatment, as part of the internal appeal process a panel of reviewers may be necessary. Third party review charges will be commensurate with the number of reviewers (usually only one is used), as well as their level of expertise and time required to complete the review. $300-$4,000 Review STRATEGIC ALLIANCES Connecticut General contracts directly or indirectly with other managed care entities and third party network vendors for access to their provider networks and discounts. These third parties charge either a network access fee, which is included in Connecticut General's monthly charges, or a percentage of the savings realized on a claim by claim basis as a result of the application of their discounts. Charges based on percentage of savings are paid from the Bank Account. Additional details regarding specific charges will be provided upon request.

shall, to the extent practicable, limit its use, disclosure, or request of Individuals’ PHI to the Limited Data
Set (as defined in 45 C.F.R. §164.514(e)(2)) or, if needed by Connecticut General, to the minimum
necessary amount of Individuals’ PHI to accomplish the intended purpose of such use, disclosure, or
request and to perform its obligations under the underlying Agreement and this Addendum. Connecticut
General shall determine what constitutes the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of

Section 5. Protection of Electronic PHI. With respect to Electronic PHI, Connecticut General shall:
(A) Implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately
protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Electronic PHI that Connecticut
General creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of the Plan as required by the Security
Standards;
(B) Ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom Connecticut General provides such
information agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect it; and,
(C) Report to the Plan any Security Incident of which it becomes aware.
Section 6. Reporting of Violations. Connecticut General shall report to the Plan any use or disclosure of
PHI not provided for by this Addendum of which it becomes aware. Connecticut General agrees to
mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect from a use or disclosure of PHI in violation of this
Addendum of which it is aware.
Section 7. Security Breach Notification. Connecticut General will notify the Plan of a Breach without
unreasonable delay. This notification will include, to the extent known:

For purposes of discovery and reporting of Breaches, Connecticut General is not the agent of the Plan or
the Employer (as “agent” is defined under common law). Connecticut General will investigate Breaches,
assess their impact under applicable state and federal law, including HITECH, and make a
recommendation to the Plan as to whether notification is required pursuant to 45 C.F.R. §§164.404-408
and/or applicable state breach notification laws. With the Plan’s prior approval, Connecticut General will
issue notices to such individuals, state and federal agencies - including the Department of Health and
Human Services, and/or the media as the Plan is required to notify pursuant to, and in accordance with the
requirements of Applicable Law (including 45 C.F.R. §§164.404-408). Connecticut General will pay the
costs of issuing notices required by law and other remediation and mitigation which, in Connecticut
General’s discretion, are appropriate and necessary to address the Breach. Connecticut General will not
be required to issue notifications that are not mandated by Applicable Law. Connecticut General shall
provide the Plan with information necessary for the Plan to fulfill its obligation to report Breaches
affecting fewer than 500 Individuals to the Secretary as required by C.F.R. §164.408(c).
Section 8. Disclosures to and Agreements by Third Parties. Connecticut General shall ensure that each
agent and subcontractor to whom it provides PHI agrees to the same restrictions and conditions with
respect to such PHI that apply to Connecticut General pursuant to this Addendum.

PHI originated by the Plan, Plan Sponsor or the Plan’s other business associates, such as enrollment

Section 11. Modifications to Individual Rights and Accounting of Disclosures. Connecticut General
shall comply with, and shall assist the Plan in complying with, responding to Individuals’ requests to
restrict the uses and disclosures of their PHI under 45 C.F.R. §164.522. This shall include complying
with valid requests to restrict the disclosure of certain PHI in accordance with Section 13405(A) of the
HITECH Act. As required by HITECH, Connecticut General shall provide Individuals with access to
certain PHI in electronic form. Connecticut General shall provide an accounting of disclosures of PHI to
an Individual who requests such accounting in the manner and time required in 45 C.F.R. §164.528.
Section 12. Requests for Privacy Protection. Connecticut General shall handle requests by an Individual
for privacy protection for such Individual’s PHI pursuant to the requirements of 45 C.F.R. §164.522.
Section 13. Processes and Procedures. In carrying out its duties set forth in Article II, Sections 9 – 12,
above, Connecticut General will implement the Standard Business Associate Processes and Procedures
(the “Processes and Procedures”) attached hereto for requests from Individuals, including the requirement
that requests be made in writing, the creation of forms for use by Individuals in making such requests, and
the setting of time periods for the Plan to forward to Connecticut General any such requests made directly
to the Plan or Plan Sponsor. In addition, Connecticut General will implement the Processes and
Procedures relating to disclosure of PHI to Plan Sponsor or designated third parties.
Section 14. Availability of Books and Records. Connecticut General hereby agrees to make its internal
practices, books and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI received from, or created or
received by Connecticut General on behalf of the Plan, available to the Secretary for purposes of
determining the Plan's compliance with the Privacy Rule.
III. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT WITH CONNECTICUT GENERAL
Section 1. Termination Upon Breach of Provisions Applicable to PHI. Any other provision of the
Agreement notwithstanding, the Agreement may be terminated by the Plan upon prior written notice to
Connecticut General in the event that Connecticut General materially breaches any obligation of this
Addendum and fails to cure the breach within such reasonable time as the Plan may provide for in such
notice; provided that in the event that termination of the Agreement is not feasible, in the Plan’s sole
discretion, the Plan shall have the right to report the breach to the Secretary.
If Connecticut General knows of a pattern of activity or practice of the Plan, that constitutes a material breach
or violation of the Plan’s duties and obligations under this Addendum, Connecticut General shall provide a
reasonable period of time, as agreed upon by the parties, for the Plan to cure the material breach or violation.
Provided, however, that, if the Plan does not cure the material breach or violation within such agreed upon
time period, Connecticut General shall terminate the Agreement, if feasible, at the end of such period.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) amending the Prisoner Transport Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Clearwater and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office for the period July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On July 16, 2009, the City Council approved the Police Department‘s participation in a countywide project with the Pinellas County
Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) to implement a Prisoner Transport System. The program was officially implemented on October 1, 2009, and
has proven to be a huge success, saving police officer time and transportation costs to and from the jail.
The City of Clearwater and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office currently have in effect an Interlocal Agreement, effective through
September 30, 2013, whereby the Sheriff agrees to provide countywide prisoner transportation service, with said terms and costs for
the service detailed therein. The Agreement further provides that each City which is a part of the Interlocal Agreement will be
invoiced on a monthly basis for all services rendered under the Agreement and said cities including the City of Clearwater, will have
said charges deducted from each city’s Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds, if available, until such time as each respective City’s
funds are expended. Once the JAG funds are depleted, each City may elect to continue use of the service and cover the costs itself.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Sheriff, as permitted by Florida law, will begin using a private contractor, G4S, to provide countywide
prisoner transportation service. Through a separate Agreement between the Sheriff and the contractor, officers of G4S used for this
purpose will only be retired or former law enforcement officers.
The Sheriff will continue to invoice Clearwater on a monthly basis, from July 1, 2013, at the rates contained in the current Interlocal
Agreement for all services rendered under this Agreement. The invoice cost will continue to be deducted from Clearwater’s balance
from the Justice Assistance Grant funds.
Once JAG funds are completely expended, there will be no charge to the City for prisoner transportation services, and the Sheriff will
absorb all costs through September 30, 2014.
The Police Department, as of the last report (March 31, 2013), indicates a balance of $123,567.49 remaining in its portion of this
grant funding.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a Contract (Purchase Order) to Toter Incorporated of Statesville, NC, for an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, for the
purchase and delivery of 26,000 new 64 gallon and 96 gallon recycling carts, during the period of June 20, 2013 through June 19,
2014, as provided in the Code of Ordinances, Section 2.564(1)(d) and authorize the appropriate officials to execute the same.
(consent)
SUMMARY:
For the past sixteen months, the Solid Waste Department has been testing an automated collection system for recycling in five
neighborhoods in order to determine the effects on collection time and tonnage of recyclables collected. While the automated
collection process co-mingles the recyclables, which reduces the resale value/revenue stream, staff believes that in the long run the
Department can save money using automated collection. The sample data collected from our automated test indicates that the
Department can collect our resident’s recyclables with half the number of vehicles currently used. Further, with ability for the resident
to recycle additional items (cardboard, glass, paper cartons, and non-bottle 1 – 7 plastics) in larger quantities, the amount of
recyclables collected could increase by 30 – 50% and have the added benefit of reducing the amount of recyclables (and the
associated tipping fees) going to the landfill.
This purchase of recycling carts is being processed under the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) and is
based on the executed contract number 120576-01 between the City of Tucson, AZ and Toter with the effective dates of January 31,
2013 through January 30, 2018. A third quarter budget amendment will establish the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 315-96446
Single Stream Recycling Carts, and fund this project with a transfer of $1,500,000 from the Unappropriated Retained Earnings of the
Recycling Fund.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Award a Contract (Purchase Order) to Waste Management, Inc. in the amount of $189,414 for the purchase of thirty-four kiosks, consisting of one
solar compactor and one recycling station, as provided in the Code of Ordinances, Section 2.561, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater’s Solid Waste Department collects waste from curbside street containers. Because these street containers
can rapidly become full and unsightly, our crews must provide service daily. The two-station kiosks to be purchased will be
placed in the high visibility areas of the downtown corridor and the beach.
This purchase includes a lifetime license for operating software, the CLEAN management console for remote monitoring and
management, real-time and historical data reporting and analysis, help desk support, and software upgrades. The real-time
monitoring of the fullness of the containers will provide our supervisors the ability to schedule collection rather than providing
(sometimes unnecessary) daily collection. The historical data and analysis will enable the Department to relocate underutilized
containers to higher demand areas. This information can be accessed from any web-enabled computer or device and will allow
for a reduction in service while increasing efficiency.
This two-station kiosk includes a recycling container to provide public space recycling, which will allow for increased
diversion. The litter container compacts its trash when necessary, to provide approximately a 3 to 1 compaction ratio.
The Purchasing Department advertised a request for bids for the product and services described above (Bid 16-13) Waste
Management, Inc. was the lowest, qualified bidder.
A third quarter amendment will establish the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project 315-96445, Solar Trash and Recycling
Kiosks, and fund this project with a transfer of $189,414 from Solid Waste Unappropriated Retained Earnings.

Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Blanket Purchase Order to SNF Polydyne Inc., of Riceboro, GA, in the amount of $449,322, for Polymer Services for a one-year period,
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Polymer is used at the City's three Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF) to thicken biosolids and reduce the amount of water in the final dewatered
cake; thereby, reducing hauling and disposal costs. Biosolids must be processed daily at all three facilities to meet permit requirements.
In 2011, the City entered into a Performance Based Contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. that included the installation of centrifuge dewatering
devices to replace existing, outdated, and inefficient belt filter presses. The centrifuges are now operational; however, this change in technology
requires a re-evaluation of the type and quantity of polymer used by the new centrifuges.
The Siemens-managed polymer testing has yet to identify a definitive “most appropriate and cost-effective” polymer for use with the new
centrifuge units. Two of four solicited polymer manufacturing/supply firms expressed interest in testing and quoting to Siemens within the new
parameters, and they were approved to conduct jar testing. To date, only one firm has tested and provided resulting documentation along with a
price quote, SNF Polydyne, Inc. (the City’s current polymer supplier). Others have declined for various reasons; most often referenced was that
their manufacturing location would make transportation inefficient and cost prohibitive, given the relatively small quantities of polymer required by
the City.
Our current contract for polymer supply with SNF Polydyne, Inc. expires on June 30, 2013. The price quoted for the new contract period increased
one cent per pound from $1.04 to $1.05. Staff recommends this BPO be awarded to the one company who was willing to fully test, document, and
quote their product.
Sufficient budget is available in the Water and Sewer Utility Fund operating cost center 0421-01351-551000-535-000-0000, WPC Operations, to
fund $113,254 of the current year cost of this contract increase and is planned in the budget request to be brought forward for Fiscal Year13/14 in
the amount of $336,068.

City Manager's Transmittal
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Horne, City Manager
COPIES: Jill Silverboard, Assistant City Manager
Rod Irwin, Assistant City Manager
Department Directors
SUBJECT: Mid Year Budget Review - Amended City Manager's Annual Budget Report
DATE: June 3, 2013
Attached is the Mid Year Budget Review in accordance with the City Code of Ordinances.
The report is based on six months of activity (October, 2012 through March, 2012) in this fiscal year. The
report comments on major variances, as well as documents all proposed amendments.
Significant Fund amendments are outlined below:
General Fund
General Fund revenues and expenditure amendments reflect a net increase of $189,300.
The major reason for the overall General Fund expenditure increase is the appropriation of General Fund
retained earnings of $146,620 at mid year which include the following: $20,000 for entryway signs, and
$9,000 for restroom demolition at Crest Lake Park, both of which were previously approved by Council.
Other expenditure increases include an appropriation of $117,620 of General Fund retained earnings to fund
a resignation settlement and retirement payouts in the Fire Department, and an increase of $27,000 in EMS
overtime which is offset by a reimbursement from the Phillies for EMS coverage at Phillies and Threshers
baseball games.
General Fund Reserves – In order to ensure adequate reserves, the City Council’s policy reflects that
General Fund unappropriated retained earnings of 8.5% of the City’s budgeted General Fund expenditures
must be maintained as a reserve to guard against future emergencies.
With the closing of the year-end 2012 books, and the allocation of reserves noted above, estimated General
Fund reserves at mid year are approximately $19.3 million, or 17.0% of the current year’s General
Fund budget, exceeding our reserve policy by $9.6 million.
Significant amendments to other City Operating Funds are noted as follows.
Water & Sewer Fund
Mid year budget amendments to the Water and Sewer Fund reflect a net increase of $15,826,774 which
represent allocations of Water and Sewer Fund reserves transferred to capital project 315-96767, Reverse
Osmosis Plant at Reservoir #2 as previously approved by Council.

Mid Year Budget Review
Fiscal 2012-13
City Manager's Transmittal
Gas Fund
Mid year budget amendments to the Gas Fund expenditures reflect a net increase of $213,893. This
increase is primarily the result of the following amendments; an increase of $119,067 in personal services
to cover retirement payouts, an increase of $60,000 for an equipment purchase, and an increase of
$50,000 in inventory purchased for resale. These expenditure increases are offset by increase to Gas Fund
revenues.
Solid Waste Fund
Budget amendments to the Solid Waste Fund expenditures reflect a net decrease of $211,900 primarily
related to a reduction in Dump Fees due to lower than expected tonnages.
Recycling Fund
Budget amendments to the Recycling Fund expenditures reflect a net decrease of $31,700 primarily
related to a reduction in inventory purchased for resale due to a drop in the volume of recyclables
purchased from other municipalities.
Marine Fund
Mid Year amendments to the Marine Fund expenditures reflect a net decrease of $92,000 primarily
related to a reduction in Cost of Goods Sold due to lower than expected fuel sales.
Airpark Fund
Mid year expenditure amendments in the Airpark Fund reflect a net increase of $24,715. Amendments
include an allocation of Airpark Fund reserves of $6,215 transferred to project 315-94858, Airpark
Security Improvements as previously approved by the Council; an allocation of Airpark Fund reserves of
$10,000 transferred to project 315-94817, Airpark Maintenance & Repair to fund increased maintenance
needs in older hangars; and increases totaling $8,500 to fund higher than anticipated utilities costs related
to ground water cleanup.
General Services Fund
Mid year budget amendments to the General Services Fund reflect an appropriation of $25,910 in General
Services fund reserves to fund the retirement payout of a long term employee.
Garage Fund
Mid year budget amendments to the Garage Fund reflect an appropriation of $74,300 in Garage fund
reserves to fund the retirement payout of three long term employees.
Capital Improvement Fund
Mid Year amendments to the Capital Improvement Fund reflect an increase of $27,270,944. The main
reason for this increase is the funding of the Reverse Osmosis Plant at Reservoir #2, recognizing Water
and Sewer reserve funding and grant funding totaling more than $27.3 million. Other significant
amendments include the funding of the stormwater project for Magnolia Drive Outfall at $550,000 and
$100,000 of Special Program revenue for the refurbishment of Pier 60. This report also includes the
closure of the Gulf to Bay and Highland Improvement project and the return of $771,799 of Penny for
Pinellas revenue to the Special Development Fund. All major project budget increases listed above have
been previously approved by Council and are also summarized on page 18.

Fiscal 2012-13
City Manager's Transmittal
One amendment of special note is the closure of the Clearwater Pass Maintenance Dredging project and
related amendments noted on page 22 and 23 of this report. This project is complete and the balance of
$496,204 of General Fund revenues is proposed to be moved to two other projects. The Waterway
Maintenance project is proposed to receive $250,000 of this funding to provide navigational aids,
informational signs, buoys, and other public safety needs to maintain City waterways. The balance of
$246,204 is proposed to establish a new project, Dredging of City Waterways, which will provide
maintenance dredging on all necessary waterways including Clearwater Pass and various cut channels
throughout the City.
Special Program Fund
The Special Program Fund reflects a net budget increase of $2,112,146 at mid-year. Amendments include
the recognition of over $1.4 million in Federal Disaster and other grant revenues for Tropical Storm
Debbie, and reimbursements from the City of Tampa for the radios purchased for the RNC convention.
These proceeds are all returned to the Emergency Operations project, making this project whole just in
time for the hurricane season. Other significant amendments reflect almost $449,000 for the special
events and sponsorships programs in the last three months, $67,000 in fines and court proceeds to support
public safety programs, over $104,000 in revenues for police outside duty contractual services, and the
allocation of $100,000 of Special Program reserves to the Pier 60 refurbishment capital project.

Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the negotiated sale of not to exceed $7,445,000 Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013; authorize staff to
proceed with the refunding of the outstanding Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 and adopt Resolution 13-15.
SUMMARY:
Currently outstanding is $7,270,000 par value of Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2004, with maturities in years 2014
through 2026 and interest rates ranging from 3.375% to 4.375% that are callable on September 1, 2013. Current market conditions
present an opportunity to refinance these bonds to achieve a present value savings of approximately $950,000, or 13.2% of the
refunded amount.
The City's debt management policy states, "As a general rule, the present value savings of a particular refunding should exceed 5%
(of the refunded amount)."
In anticipation of the refunding, the City through its Financial Advisor, Stifel, Nicolaus and Company, Inc., issued a request for
proposals (RFP) soliciting proposals from qualified investment companies to provide a bank loan source of funds instead of the more
traditional bond transaction for this refunding, which has resulted in a lower cost (greater savings) opportunity. A traditional bond
sales transaction would have yielded an estimated 7.5% savings, or approximately $545,000 versus the current estimate of $950,000.
The refunding will result in gross annual debt service savings of approximately $85,000 in years 2014 through 2026.
This resolution authorizes the negotiated sale of not to exceed $7,445,000 par value of Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series
2013, at an interest rate of 2.41%, to STI Institutional and Government, Inc (a SunTrust company), the firm submitting the most
favorable response to the RFP.
Annual principal payments on the 2013 refunding bonds are due September 1, 2014 through 2026, the same term as the refunded
bonds. The bonds are callable, without prepayment penalty, five years after the date of issuance.

WHEREAS, on April 21, 2005, the City enacted Ordinance No. 7423-05 (the "2005
Ordinance" and, together with the Original Ordinance, collectively, the "Bond Ordinance") which authorized the issuance of the City of Clearwater, Florida, Gas System Revenue [Refunding]
Bonds, Series [to be determined], as Additional Parity Obligations under the Original Ordinance;
and
WHEREAS, the City by this Resolution intends to provide for the issuance of not to exceed $7,445,000 City of Clearwater, Florida Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013 (the "Series 2013 Bonds") as Additional Parity Bonds to refund a portion of the City's

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
Attachment number 2 \nPage 1 of 32
Item # 25
Resolution No. 13-15 2
SECTION 1. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII, Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the Charter
of the City of Clearwater, Florida, the Bond Ordinance and other applicable provisions of law. A
series of the Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds authorized by the Bond Ordinance is hereby authorized to be issued in a principal amount of not to exceed $7,445,000 pursuant to
this Resolution, with such bonds hereby designated as Series 2013 (the "Series 2013 Bonds"). The Series 2013 Bonds authorized by this Resolution are hereby authorized to be issued as Additional Parity Obligations under the Bond Ordinance. The issuance of not to exceed
$7,445,000 of the Series 2013 Bonds by the City is hereby approved upon the terms and condi-tions set forth in the Bond Ordinance and this Resolution.
The refunding of the City’s Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2004 maturing on and after September 1, 2014 (the “Refunded Bonds”), with a redemption date of
September 1, 2013 is hereby authorized, to be paid in part with the proceeds of the Series 2013
Bonds herein authorized. The City Manager, or in his absence an Assistant City Manager, and Finance Director are hereby authorized and directed to provide irrevocable directions to defease
and redeem the Refunded Bonds.
The provisions of the Bond Ordinance shall be fully applicable to the Series 2013 Bonds
and all of the covenants contained in the Bond Ordinance shall be applicable to the Series 2013 Bonds.
SECTION 2. It is in the best interest of the Issuer and the residents and inhabitants thereof that the Series 2013 Bonds be issued as fully certificated bonds to STI.

Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the negotiated sale of not to exceed $11,605,000 Stormwater System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013; authorize
staff to proceed with the advance refunding of the outstanding Stormwater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 and adopt Resolution
13-16.
SUMMARY:
Currently outstanding is $10,855,000 par value of Stormwater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2004, with maturities
in years 2015 through 2032 and interest rates ranging from 3.625% to 4.75% that are callable on November 1, 2014.
Current market conditions present an opportunity to advance refund these bonds to achieve a present value savings of
approximately $980,000, or 9.0% of the refunded amount.
The City's debt management policy states, "As a general rule, the present value savings of a particular refunding
should exceed 5% (of the refunded amount)."
In anticipation of the refunding, the City through its Financial Advisor, Stifel, Nicolaus and Company, Inc., issued a
request for proposals (RFP) soliciting proposals from qualified investment companies to provide a bank loan source
of funds, instead of the more traditional bond transaction for this refunding, which has resulted in a lower cost
(greater savings) opportunity. A traditional bond sales transaction would have yielded an estimated 5.0% savings, or
approximately $540,000 versus the current estimate of $980,000.
The refunding will result in gross annual debt service savings of approximately $100,000 in years 2014 through
2032.
This resolution authorizes the negotiated sale of not to exceed $11,605,000 par value of Stormwater System Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 2013, at an interest rate of 2.98%, to STI Institutional and Government, Inc (a SunTrust
company), the firm submitting the most favorable response to the RFP.
Annual principal payments on the 2013 refunding bonds are due November 1, 2013 through 2032, the same term as
the refunded bonds. The bonds are callable, without prepayment penalty, six years after the date of issuance.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1. This Resolution is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII,
Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the Charter
of the City of Clearwater, Florida, the Bond Ordinance and other applicable provisions of law. A
series of the Stormwater System Revenue Refunding Bonds authorized by the Bond Ordinance
is hereby authorized to be issued in a principal amount of not to exceed $11,605,000 pursuant
to this Resolution, with such bonds hereby designated as Series 2013 (the "Series 2013
Bonds"). The Series 2013 Bonds authorized by this Resolution are hereby authorized to be
issued as Additional Parity Obligations under the Bond Ordinance. The issuance of not to
exceed $11,605,000 of the Series 2013 Bonds by the City is hereby approved upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Bond Ordinance and this Resolution.
The refunding of the City’s Stormwater System Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 maturing

The provisions of the Bond Ordinance shall be fully applicable to the Series 2013 Bonds

Bonds. For purposes hereof, the City acknowledges that the provisions of Section 21 of the
Original Ordinance respecting the rights of a Bond Insurer to exercise the rights of a bondholder
apply only as to the bonds insured by such Bond Insurer and shall not be applicable to the
Series 2013 Bonds as the Series 2013 Bonds are not insured by a Bond Insurer.
SECTION 2. It is in the best interest of the Issuer and the residents and inhabitants
thereof that the Series 2013 Bonds be issued as fully certificated bonds to STI.
SECTION 3. Due to the present instability in the market for revenue obligations, the
critical importance of the timing of the sale of the Bonds and due to the willingness of STI to
purchase the Series 2013 Bonds at rates favorable to the Issuer, it is hereby determined that it
is in the best interest of the public and the Issuer to sell the Series 2013 Bonds at a negotiated
sale. The Issuer has received an offer from STI to purchase the Series 2013 Bonds, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in STI's Commitment (the "STI Commitment") dated May 15,
2013, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, which Bank Proposal
is hereby accepted by the City.
The Series 2013 Bonds are hereby sold and awarded to STI in accordance with the STI
Commitment at the price of par, and the Mayor, or in his absence the Vice-Mayor, and the City
Manager, or in his absence an Assistant City Manager, are hereby authorized to execute and
deliver the Series 2013 Bonds substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B attested by
the City Clerk and approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the City Attorney, receive the
purchase price therefor and apply the proceeds thereof to the refunding of the Refunded Bonds

conform the same to the STI Commitment. Execution of the Bond by the Mayor, or in his
absence the Vice-Mayor, and the City Manager, or in his absence an Assistant City Manager,

shall execute a Purchaser's Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C. The disclosure letter as

successor holder shall deliver to the City a Purchaser’s Certificate substantially in the form

such successor holder. For purposes of this provision "affiliate" shall mean, as to any person,
any other person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is
Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such person. For the purposes of this
definition, "Control" shall mean the power, directly or indirectly, either to (i) vote 5% or more of

final action of the Internal Revenue Service determining that interest paid or payable on the
Series 2013 Bonds is or was includable in the gross income of a Bondholder for Federal income
tax purposes; provided, that no such decree, judgment, or action will be considered final for this
purpose, however, unless the City has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is
legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the
name of any Bondholder, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought.
“Interest Rate” shall mean a per annum rate equal to 2.98%, prior to a Determination of
Taxability or an Event of Default, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve
30 day months.

"Taxable Rate" shall mean, upon a Determination of Taxability, the interest rate per
annum that shall provide the Holder with the same after tax yield that the Holder would have
otherwise received had the Determination of Taxability not occurred, taking into account the
increased taxable income of the Holder as a result of such Determination of Taxability. The
Holder shall provide the City with a written statement explaining the calculation of the Taxable
Rate, which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
City.
The Issuer shall pay interest upon the unpaid principal balance of the Series 2013 Bonds

actually paid on the Series 2013 Bonds during the Taxable Period and (B) the amount of
interest that would have been paid during the Taxable Period had the Series 2013 Bonds borne
interest at the Taxable Rate, and (ii) an amount equal to any interest, penalties on overdue
interest and additions to tax (as referred to in Subchapter A of Chapter 68 of the Code) owed by
the Holder as a result of the Determination of Taxability. This adjustment shall survive payment
of the Series 2013 Bonds until such time as the federal statute of limitations under which the
interest on the Series 2013 Bonds could be declared taxable under the Code shall have expired.

Ordinance) for the Series 2013 Bonds shall be $0.00, and the Series 2013 Bonds shall not be

adversely affect the rights and interests of the holder of the Series 2013 Bonds without the
consent of such holder.
SECTION 13. All prior resolutions of the Issuer inconsistent with the provisions of this
resolution are hereby modified, supplemented and amended to conform with the provisions
herein contained and except as otherwise modified, supplemented and amended hereby shall

Commitment, the Escrow Deposit Agreement or any other document referred to above as a
prerequisite or precondition to the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds and any such representa-
tion made therein shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Issuer. In the event both the
Mayor and the Vice-Mayor are unable to execute the documents related to the Series 2013
Bonds, then any other member of the City Council shall be authorized to execute such
documents with the full force and effect as if the Mayor or the Vice-Mayor had executed same.
All action taken to date by the officers of the Issuer in furtherance of the issuance of the Series
2013 Bonds is hereby approved, confirmed and ratified.
SECTION 15. The proceeds received from the delivery of the Series 2013 Bonds,
together with any other monies lawfully available therefor, shall be applied by the City
simultaneously with the delivery of the Series 2013 Bonds to STI, as follows:
(i) to the extent not paid from legally available funds of the City, an amount which
shall pay the costs and expenses associated with the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds; and
(ii) a sum specified in the Escrow Agreement that shall be sufficient, taking into
account other legally available moneys of the City, if any, to pay the principal of, interest on and

account created under the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Account").
Simultaneously with the delivery of the Series 2013 Bonds, the City is authorized to

If the Interest Rate on the Series 2013 Bonds is changed due to a Determination of Taxability,
the Interest Rate shall equal the Taxable Rate for the Taxable Period.
Upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability and for as long as the Series 2013

the Taxable Rate. In addition, upon a Determination of Taxability, the Issuer shall pay to the

actually paid on the Series 2013 Bonds during the Taxable Period and (B) the amount of
interest that would have been paid during the Taxable Period had the Series 2013 Bonds borne
interest at the Taxable Rate, and (ii) an amount equal to any interest, penalties on overdue
interest and additions to tax (as referred to in Subchapter A of Chapter 68 of the Code) owed by
the Holder as a result of the Determination of Taxability. This adjustment shall survive payment
of the Series 2013 Bonds until such time as the federal statute of limitations under which the
interest on the Series 2013 Bonds could be declared taxable under the Code shall have expired.
This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of

pursuant to the Ordinance, with the exception of the Rebate Fund (collectively, the "Pledged
Revenues"), in the manner provided in the Ordinance. Reference is made to the Ordinance for

This Bond does not constitute a general indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning
of any constitutional, statutory or charter provision or limitation, and it is expressly agreed by the
Holder of this Bond that such Bondholder shall never have the right to require or compel the
exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the Issuer or taxation of any real or personal
property therein for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond or the making of
any debt service fund, reserve or other payments provided for in the Ordinance.
It is further agreed between the Issuer and the Holder of this Bond that this Bond and the
indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon the System, or any part thereof,
or on any other property of or in the City, but shall constitute a lien only on the Pledged
Revenues all in the manner provided in the Ordinance.
The Issuer has covenanted, in the Ordinance, to fix, establish, revise from time to time
whenever necessary, maintain and collect always such fees, rentals and other charges for the
services of the System which will always provide Gross Revenues in each Fiscal Year sufficient
to pay the Cost of Operation and Maintenance of the System in such Fiscal Year one hundred
fifteen percent (115%) of the Bond Service Requirement becoming due in such year on the
Outstanding Bonds. Such rates, fees, rentals or other charges shall not be reduced so as to
render them insufficient to provide Gross Revenues for the purposes provided therefore by the
Ordinance. The Issuer has entered into certain further covenants with the Holders of the Bonds
of this issue for the terms of which reference is made to the Ordinance.
It is certified that this Bond is authorized by and is issued in conformity with the
requirements of the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Florida.
If the date for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Bond shall
be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the city where the
Paying Agent is located are authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such
payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a
day on which such banking institutions are authorized to close, and payment on such date shall
have the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of payment.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve two Subordination of City Utility Interests agreements subordinating City easements in favor of the State of Florida
Department of Transportation; adopt Resolution 13-17; and authorize appropriate officials to execute same
SUMMARY:
The State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is underway with a project to resurface a portion of Drew Street, a
State Road. In support of the project, FDOT has acquired easements for the construction and maintenance of
sidewalks. FDOT has requested that the City subordinate two existing City easements located within the new FDOT
easements. One of the City easements is for the installation and maintenance of a traffic signal pole on the northwest corner
of Drew Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. The other City easement is for the installation and maintenance of a
sidewalk on the southeast corner of Drew Street and Jefferson Avenue.
The City easements will remain in effect, however the City’s rights under these easements will be subject to FDOT’s
rights. The City Engineering Department has no objection to the request.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP) and adopt Resolution 13-08.
SUMMARY:
As a coastal community, the City of Clearwater remains vulnerable to a number of regularly occurring natural
disasters. To decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency the City is adding another tool to its mitigation and
recovery toolbox, the Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP). The PDRP is a document that guides City
decision making affecting long-term recovery and redevelopment following a disaster.
This Plan does not address immediate disaster response and emergency operations, which are already outlined by
the City’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). During the disaster response and emergency
operations phases, the City will work as a partner with Pinellas County, which will serve as the lead local entity in
coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This Plan is intended to address
Clearwater’s unique context while avoiding duplication with Pinellas County’s PDRP. Some issues, and
subsequent actions that address those issues, are better addressed on a countywide scale. For these actions, the
City will work as a partner with the County.
This Plan was created through a coordinated effort among city staff, with communication with Pinellas County
staff. It does not set forth new city policies but contains next steps that direct City staff to implement previously
adopted city policies and to conduct research that may lead to future policy changes. Any proposed actions that
might result in or require changes in city policy must first engage Clearwater community members in the decision-
making process and then request approval from the appropriate legislative authority, the City Council.
The PDRP is organized into seven chapters:
Chapter 1 Introduction (Plan pages 1-2): This Chapter sets the stage for the rest of the Plan by outlining the
purpose and objective of the Plan, the authority for developing the Plan, describing the planning
process and how to use the plan, and lastly by noting plan assumptions and applicability.
Chapter 2 Local Plans Integration and Capacity Assessment (pages 3-18): This chapter examines existing
local documents that guide the four overlapping phases of the disaster cycle: pre-disaster planning,
emergency response, short-term recovery and long-term recovery and redevelopment. A total of 17
documents are examined, including the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the countywide Local
Mitigation Strategy. For each document a description of its contents, listing of applicable disaster
phases, listing of provisions that apply to disaster planning and its relationship to the PDRP are
outlined. An institutional capacity, or gap analysis, is then conducted outlining the City’s capacity
for carrying out long-term recovery and redevelopment in three topic areas: planning and regulatory
capacity, administrative and technical capacity, and fiscal capacity. The chapter concludes by
outlining recommendations for improving capacity.
Cover Memo
Item # 28
Chapter 3 Vulnerability Analysis (pages 19-26): This chapter details vulnerability analyses that were
previously conducted in the City’s Floodplain Management Plan, the City’s Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), and the countywide Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS). For
each document’s vulnerability analysis a summary, key findings and conclusions are outlined in the
chapter. The chapter concludes by outlining vulnerability analyses that should be completed by
City staff to expand understanding of Clearwater’s vulnerability so future updates to the PDRP can
more fully address current gaps in analysis. If a priority, the analyses can be included in the Long
Range Planning Division’s work program.
Chapter 4 Issues (pages 27-52): This chapter discusses a myriad of issues outlined by Post-Disaster
Redevelopment Planning: A Guide for Florida Communities, which is a document jointly produced
at the State level by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (now the Department of
Economic Opportunity) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The Guide is divided
according to six topic areas: Housing, Infrastructure and Public Facilities, Environment, Economic
Redevelopment, Land Use and Health and Social Services. Each issue in the Guide is assigned a
category: Minimum (suggested to be undertaken first), Recommended (suggested to be undertaken
if resources are available) and Advanced (suggested once a community has a solid foundation for
hazard mitigation and disaster recovery—these are best practices). The chapter includes a brief
description of each issue, how the issue is currently being addressed in Clearwater, and steps
forward to ensure the issue is adequately addressed. These are all summarized in a table at the end
of the chapter.
Chapter 5 Plan Goals (pages 53-54): This chapter contains five goals and five strategies.
Plan Goals:
1. Housing and Structural Repairs: Facilitate permissible reconstruction in a timely manner
while decreasing the vulnerability of structures to future disasters.
2. Infrastructure and Public Facility Recovery: Restore utilities and repair infrastructure
efficiently, while considering mitigation in long-term redevelopment of infrastructure to
ensure that public investments minimize future damage.
3. Environmental Restoration: Protect and enhance natural resources to mitigate future
disasters.
4. Economic Resumption: Assist businesses in adequately preparing for a disaster and enhance
their ability to recover from a disaster.
5. Land Use and Development: Facilitate redevelopment in a timely manner, while seizing
opportunities for mitigation.
Plan Strategies:
1. Streamline Permitting
2. Get Back to Business
3. Decrease Vulnerability
4. Continue Implementation of City of Clearwater Guiding Documents
5. Continue Intergovernmental Coordination
The chapter also describes the Action Plan, which is contained in Appendix C. The Action Plan
implements the goals and strategies outlined above. Some actions need to take place during the pre-
disaster phase, while others apply only after a disaster strikes. The Action Plan is not an exhaustive
list, but a working document that can be updated as needed. Completed actions that do not need to
be implemented after every disaster can be taken off the list and included in an appendix in future
updates as a record of accomplishments. Not all five goals need all five strategies outlined in the
chapter to be fully achieved. While some goals need all the strategies, others may only need three
of the five to accomplish the overall goal.
Chapter 6 Communication Plan (pages 55-62): This chapter examines the City’s current ability to
communicate both externally and internally. It then goes on to outline how the public can be
included in implementing the PDRP, both before and after a disaster.
Chapter 7 Plan Implementation and Maintenance (pages 63-66): This chapter details how the Action Plan will
be implemented and how the entire PDRP will be maintained.
Cover Memo
Item # 28
The PDRP also includes four appendices as described below.
o Appendix A – Coastal Resilience Index (Plan pages 67-68): Contains the Coastal Resilience Index Report for
the City of Clearwater that City staff participated in on January 28, 2013.
o Appendix B – Resources for Future Vulnerability Analyses (Plan pages 69-74): This appendix serves as an aid
for City staff in the development of future vulnerability analyses. It is a detailed expansion of the brief listing
that appears in Table 2 (Chapter 3) of the Plan.
o Appendix C – Action Plan (Plan pages 75-84): To achieve the five goals and strategies outlined in Chapter 5,
the Action Plan outlines the implementation timeline, existing plans and policies, the lead entity, required
collaboration and resources needed to accomplish each action. The actions are based on the Steps Forward
sections of Chapter 4. Some actions should be achieved during the pre-disaster phase as mitigation measures
that increase resiliency; as these actions are accomplished, they can be moved from the Action Plan to a record
of accomplished actions in updates to the PDRP. Other actions should be implemented each time the City of
Clearwater declares a state of emergency, as determined necessary by the Post-Disaster Redevelopment
Steering Committee, a group consisting of City senior management staff. The applicability of an action varies
by the severity of the disaster.
o Appendix D – Accomplished Pre-Disaster Actions (Plan page 85): This appendix is to serve as a record of
PDRP pre-disaster actions from Appendix C that have been accomplished, as the Plan is implemented and
updated.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN iv. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As a coastal community, the City of Clearwater remains vulnerable to a number of regularly occurring natural disasters. While Clearwater has been spared from a direct hit by a hurricane since 1921, it does not mean the City will continue to be as fortunate. Should a similar Category 3 hurricane occur today it is estimated over four billion dollars worth of damage would be sustained.1 To decrease vulnerability and increase resiliency the City is adding another tool to its mitigation and recovery toolbox, the Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP). The Plan is crafted to guide decision making affecting long‐term recovery and redevelopment after a disaster and contains five goals addressing housing and structural repairs, infrastructure and public facility recovery, environmental restoration, economic resumption, and land use and development. To achieve the five goals a concise Action Plan outlines the implementation timeline, existing plans and policies, the lead entity, required collaboration and resources needed to accomplish each action. Some actions should be achieved during the pre‐disaster phase as mitigation measures that increase resiliency; as these actions are accomplished they can be moved from the Action Plan to a record of accomplished actions in updates to this Plan. Other actions should be implemented each time the City of Clearwater declares a state of emergency, as determined necessary by the Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Steering Committee, a group consisting of City senior management staff. The applicability of an action varies by the severity of the disaster. 1According to iCat Damage Estimator http://www.icatdamageestimator.com/all‐storms?State=FL&Year=ALL&Category=ALL&Month=ALL&hurdatNumber=&searchInSearchParam=¤tSearchText= This Plan does not address immediate disaster response and emergency operations, which are already outlined by the City’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). During the disaster response and emergency operations phases the City will work as a partner with Pinellas County, which will serve as the lead local entity in coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA sets forth many post‐disaster short‐term recovery policies and regulations, making coordination critical. This Plan is intended to address Clearwater’s unique context while avoiding duplication with Pinellas County’s PDRP. Some issues, and subsequent actions that address those issues, are better addressed on a countywide scale. For these actions the City will work as a partner with the County. This Plan was created through a coordinated effort among City staff, with communication with Pinellas County staff. It does not set forth new City policies but contains next steps that direct City staff to implement previously adopted City policies and to conduct research that may lead to future policy changes. Any proposed actions that might result in or require changes in City policy must first engage Clearwater community members in the decision‐making process and then request approval from the appropriate legislative authority, the City Council.Attachment number 3 \nPage 6 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTIONPURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP) is to guide City decision making affecting long‐term recovery and redevelopment following a disaster. The Plan addresses five goals: (1) housing and structural repairs; (2) infrastructure and public facility recovery; (3) environmental restoration; (4) economic resumption; and (5) land use and development; and includes a concise implementable action plan that aids in achieving these goals. It does not address immediate response and emergency operations, which are already covered by the City’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). This Plan’s objective is to identify goals for long‐term recovery and redevelopment and to create a concise set of implementable actions that aid in achieving those goals. AUTHORITY Coastal jurisdictions in Florida are required by state law to include a Coastal Management Element in their comprehensive plans that contains a redevelopment component outlining the principles used to eliminate inappropriate and unsafe development in coastal areas when opportunities arise (Florida Statutes 163.3178(2)(f)). The Clearwater Comprehensive Plan contains several goals, objectives and policies within the Coastal Management Element that relate to post‐disaster redevelopment, thereby achieving the state law requirement. This Plan serves as the means for implementing those goals, objectives and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. PLANNING PROCESS Rule 9J‐5 of the Florida Administrative Code, effective in March 1994, required coastal communities to develop a PDRP. This requirement was acknowledged in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and a specific goal date for completion of the PDRP was included in 2008, after the Evaluation and Appraisal Report was approved in 2006. The goal date to prepare the PDRP was established as 2012, so the Planning and Development Department kicked‐off the project in March 2011. In June 2011 the Florida Legislature repealed the entire Rule 9J‐5, integrating some provisions back into State Statutes. Although the provision requiring coastal communities to develop a PDRP was not one of the provisions transferred from the Administrative Code to the Statutes, the Comprehensive Plan still requires creation of a PDRP. The City’s PDRP is envisioned as a concise, usable document containing core goals and an implementable action plan. It is complemented by the thorough PDRP process undertaken by Pinellas County, which coordinates multi‐jurisdictional goals and action plans. City staff from the Economic Development and Housing Department and the Planning and Development Department participated in work groups as part of the Pinellas County PDRP. In addition, City staff reviewed current plans and policies for strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. The Goals and Strategies contained in Chapter 5 of this Plan and the Action Plan contained in Appendix C were developed based on this coordination with the County and discussion with City staff from multiple departments. The PDRP planning process concluded in May 2013. HOW TO USE THIS PLAN This Plan is intended to serve as the primary source for long‐term recovery and redevelopment issues in the City. Disaster management is typically viewed as a cycle with the following overlapping phases: (1) pre‐disaster planning and emergency Attachment number 3 \nPage 9 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 2 management preparedness; (2) emergency response; (3) short‐term recovery; and (4) long‐term recovery and redevelopment. This Plan has an implementation role in the pre‐disaster phase, but the intent of all the Plan implementation actions is to improve the community’s ability for long‐term recovery and redevelopment. This Plan is organized into seven chapters – Introduction, Local Plans Integration and Capacity Assessment, Vulnerability Analysis, Issues, Plan Goals, Public Communication Plan, and Plan Maintenance and Implementation. The Local Plans Integration and Capacity Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis chapters provide context for the subsequent Issues chapter, which in turn sets the stage for the Plan Goals chapter. A Public Communication Plan is included to provide clear direction on engaging the community. Lastly, the Plan will be implemented through an action plan contained within Appendix C with periodic maintenance to ensure changing needs of the community are addressed in updated versions of the PDRP. PLAN ASSUMPTIONS & APPLICABILITY This Plan was developed based on the assumption that the federal, state and local government regulatory framework will continue to exist during and after a disaster in its current form. This assumes the continuation of Federal acts such as the National Environmental Protection Act and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act as currently written into law. Additionally, there are financial assumptions including the continuation of Federal and State funding levels and the City’s current municipal bonding capacity. Changes to any of the above may necessitate review and amendment of this Plan. This Plan applies to major and catastrophic disasters for which redevelopment would be required. The need to implement the actions contained within the Plan may vary depending on the severity of the disaster and which elements of the community are most adversely impacted (e.g., housing, infrastructure). As the Capacity Assessment in the following chapter reveals, the City is well positioned to carry out long‐term recovery and redevelopment from an institutional standpoint. However, it should be understood that no matter how well positioned the City is, its capacity remains untested. Therefore, this Plan anticipates that at which time the City is tested by a disaster, lessons learned should be incorporated into future updates to this Plan. Attachment number 3 \nPage 10 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 3 CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT This Plan is one component in the local framework for achieving successful disaster preparedness, response, recovery and redevelopment. As such it is appropriate to understand the context in which this Plan is written and to envision its successful implementation as part of a larger suite of guiding documents. The purpose of this Plan is to guide the redevelopment decision‐making process following a disaster, consistent with the following local documents: City of Clearwater Documents o Pre‐disaster Planning Comprehensive Plan Community Development Code Building Codes, Permitting and Inspections Capital Improvements Program Floodplain Management Plan o Response and Short‐term Recovery Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Code of Ordinances o Long‐term Recovery and Redevelopment Beach by Design Downtown Redevelopment Plan US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan Coachman Ridge Neighborhood Plan Island Estates Neighborhood Plan Clearwater Greenprint: A Framework for a Competitive, Vibrant, Green Future Economic Development Strategic Plan 2011‐2016 Consolidated Plan Pinellas County Documents o Local Mitigation Strategy o Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Plan RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER DOCUMENTS This Plan is a document that complements, and overlaps with, relevant local plans such as the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, the CEMP and the Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS). Figure 1 shows the overlap between the plans and illustrates the continuous nature and imprecise phases of the process. As Figure 1 highlights, there are four phases: pre‐disaster planning, emergency response, short‐term recovery and long‐term recovery and redevelopment. Some documents touch on several of these phases, while others focus only on one phase. The PDRP is intended to guide the redevelopment decision‐making process following a disaster in a manner consistent with the plans referenced above. Each of these plans has pre‐existing policies or procedures that affect post‐disaster redevelopment, but ultimately the PDRP acts as a guide for utilizing the policies and procedures found in these other documents. While implementation of the Plan will overlap with implementation of other documents, the focus on long‐term post‐disaster redevelopment is unique to this Plan. Other plans such as the City of Clearwater Floodplain Management Plan, the Economic Development Strategic Plan, Beach by Design and the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan provide guidance and vision for the future of the City. Relevant development codes, such as the Community Development Code (CDC) and the Building and Development Regulations, will have a significant impact on post‐disaster redevelopment decisions. Therefore, it was essential that this planning process included examination of how local plans and codes will impact redevelopment and to recommend changes Attachment number 3 \nPage 11 of 96

FIGURE 1: PLAN INTERACTION & THE DISASTER PHASES2 2 Post‐disaster Redevelopment Planning: A Guide for Florida Communities, Florida Department of Community Affairs, Florida Division of Emergency Management, 2010 DESCRIPTION OF LOCAL DOCUMENTS City of Clearwater Documents Pre‐disaster Planning Comprehensive Plan (Amended October 2012) Description: Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, requires that counties and municipalities adopt a comprehensive plan to provide the policy framework for guiding growth and development. The Clearwater Comprehensive Plan establishes goals, objectives and policies in 10 topic areas: future land use, transportation, housing, utilities, coastal management, conservation, recreation and open space, intergovernmental coordination, public school facilities and capital improvements. The goals are statements of intent used to guide decision making and provide a general direction to develop objectives and policies which are specific, measureable and often state a completion date. The plan is implemented through the CDC, special area plans, five‐year capital budget, annual budget and the Penny for Pinellas project list. The Comprehensive Plan must be consistent with the density, intensity and land use provisions set forth in the Pinellas Planning Council’s (PPC) The Countywide Plan Rules and Future Land Use Map. The Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the most recently amended Countywide Plan Rules (June 2011). Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation), short‐term recovery, long‐term recovery. Attachment number 3 \nPage 12 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 5 Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Pre‐disaster planning provisions (Goal A.1 and its Objectives and Policies, Objective C.1.3 and its Policies, Objective D.3.3 and its Policies, Goals D.4 and its Objectives and Policies, Goal E.1 and its Objectives and Policies, Goal E.2 and its Objectives and Policies, Goal E.3 and its Objectives and Policies, Objective F.1.2 and its Policies, Objective F.1.3 and its Policies, Objective F.1.5 and its Policies, Objective F.1.6 and its Policies, Objective I.1.2 and its Policies) Short‐term recovery provisions (Goal E.4 and its Objectives and Policies, Objective E.5.1 and Policy E.5.1.1, Policy I.1.2.2) Long‐term recovery provisions (Goal E.4 and its Objectives and Policies) Relationship to PDRP: Objective E.4.2 and its Policies direct this Plan to contain specific provisions. This Plan acts as the implementation method for achieving those policies. Following adoption of this Plan, the language of applicable objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan should be amended to reflect that this Plan has been adopted and may also include any amendments recommended in the Goals and Action Plan of this Plan. Community Development Code (CDC) (Amended November 2012) Description: The CDC sets forth the regulations for land development within the City. The current CDC was established by ordinance on January 21, 1999 and is periodically updated through the text amendment process. It is a performance‐based flexible code that regulates development through zoning districts with dimensional standards, which can vary considerably, and depend upon the particular development proposal meeting the required criteria for each level of approval (i.e., administrative process versus a public hearing). The CDC also sets forth development review standards and procedures and nonconformity provisions. The CDC must be consistent with the density, intensity and land use provisions set forth in the PPC’s The Countywide Plan Rules and Future Land Use Map. The CDC is consistent with the most recently amended Countywide Plan Rules (June 2011). Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation), short‐term recovery, long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Pre‐disaster planning (Seawall elevation ‐ CDC Section 3‐602; Erosion and siltation control ‐ CDC Section 3‐701; Undergrounding of utilities ‐ CDC Section 3‐912; Transfer of development rights (TDR) ‐ CDC Section 4‐1401; Nonconforming structures and uses ‐ CDC Article 6) Short‐term recovery provisions (Temporary uses ‐ CDC 3‐2103.M; Nonconforming structures and uses ‐ CDC Article 6) Long‐term recovery provisions (Nonconforming structures and uses ‐ CDC Article 6) Relationship to PDRP: Since the CDC regulates land use and sets forth procedures for granting permits, any changes recommended by this Plan, either in land use regulations or permitting procedures, must be contained in the CDC. This is accomplished through the text amendment process, which requires an ordinance adopted at a public hearing before City Council. There are two policies in the Comprehensive Plan that could be incorporated into the CDC for consistency. Policy E.1.2.5 prohibits the location of new hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the Coastal Storm Area. Policy E.4.1.1 allows Attachment number 3 \nPage 13 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 6 structures on the barrier islands located in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)‐designated high hazard flood zones (AE and V) that experience over fifty percent damage to be redeveloped at the as‐built densities at the time of the storm damage. This is different than what is currently stated in CDC Section 6‐103, which deals with nonconforming uses. In general, all development and redevelopment must comply with all the standards set forth in the CDC, including, but not limited to, provisions regulating signage, parking and landscaping. Currently there are no special “emergency” or “disaster” provisions (other than CDC Section 3‐2103.M which allows temporary relocation tents or mobile homes for displaced persons) contained in the CDC. Building Codes, Permitting and Inspections Description: Part II of the CDC contains the building regulations for the City, specifically Chapter 47 – Buildings and Building Regulations; Chapter 49 – Housing Code; and Chapter 51 ‐ Flood Damage Prevention. Chapter 47 outlines the building/flood board of adjustment and appeals procedures, lists which Standard Codes are used by the Building Official to permit structures within the City, and details the inspections required by the City. The Standard Codes used by the City include the Florida Building Code (FBC), which, after devastating natural disasters in the 1990s, was made mandatory in 2002 and supersedes all local building codes. The FBC is updated every three years, most recently 2010, with an effective date of March 15, 2012. Chapter 49 – Housing Code states that the Standard Housing Code will be used by the City. Chapter 51 – Flood Damage Prevention aims to minimize losses due to flooding. Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation), short‐term recovery, long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Pre‐disaster planning provisions (Floodproofing certification – Section 47.004; Minimum floor elevation – Section 47.005; Chapter 51 – Flood Damage Prevention) Short‐term recovery provisions (Restoration of electrical service to flooded structures – Section 47.006; Standard Codes – Chapter 47, Article III; Permits – Chapter 47, Article IV; Required Inspections – Chapter 47, Article V; Standard Housing Code – Amendments dealing with unsafe structures – Section 49.02) Long‐term recovery provisions (Standard Codes – Chapter 47, Article III; Permits – Chapter 47, Article IV; Required Inspections – Chapter 47, Article V) Relationship to PDRP: Any redevelopment must comply with the building code standards and subsequent permitting and inspections. Capital Improvements Program (From the 2012/2013 Annual Operating and Capital Improvement Budget) Description: The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is a schedule of capital improvement projects that covers a six‐year period and provides the mechanism to implement the Capital Improvements Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The CIP is updated by ordinance within the City’s operating and capital budget annually by the City Council. The CIP, which includes details, agreements and revenue sources for all capital improvement Attachment number 3 \nPage 14 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 7 projects, is needed to ensure that adopted level‐of‐service standards are achieved and maintained. The CIP is a way to ensure the vision outlined in the Comprehensive Plan is implemented. Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation), long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: The current CIP includes stormwater mitigation projects, specifically those within the Stevenson Creek watershed and the Alligator Creek watershed, to abate structure and street flooding (pages 265‐266). Relationship to PDRP: The CIP is the way mitigation projects are funded and likewise would be the way future long‐term recovery projects are funded. Goals, strategies and actions recommended in this Plan which fit the definition of a CIP project should be considered for inclusion in future updates of the CIP. Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) (Updated 2009) Description: Due to the City’s situation as a coastal community, it participates in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). By participating in the NFIP, which requires the adoption and enforcement of floodplain management programs that reduce future flood damage, property owners within the City receive federally‐backed flood insurance. Further incentives are provided by the CRS program, which adjusts flood insurance premiums to reflect community activities that reduce flood damage beyond the minimum required by the NFIP. The FMP outlines these community activities aimed at reducing vulnerability to floods (and therefore reductions in the flood insurance premiums of properties within the City). The FMP also includes an excellent risk assessment section which contains detailed housing and development vulnerability data. Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation). Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Structural and non‐structural mitigation provisions (Planning Goals, pages 28‐42; Preventative Activities, pages 42‐45; Stormwater Management Projects, pages 45‐50; Implementation of Mitigation Activities, pages 50‐52). Relationship to PDRP: The FMP serves as a helpful outline of current and planned mitigation activities in the City. The Risk Assessment (pages 7‐26) provides an excellent foundation for Chapter 3 of this Plan. The Public Information Preventive Activities (listed on page 45) provide a helpful foundation for Chapter 6 of this Plan. Response and Short‐term Recovery City of Clearwater Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) (Updated 2012) Description: The CEMP establishes a framework for dealing with hazards and outlines the general roles and responsibilities of City departments in disaster response and recovery. It includes a vulnerability analysis and addresses the responsibility of city government, method of operations, continuity of government and applicable financial policies. It follows the framework of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The CEMP includes reference to 20 “Functional Annexes” which have not yet been developed but appear to be integral to carrying out the purposes of the plan. Applicable Disaster Phases: Response and Recovery. Attachment number 3 \nPage 15 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 8 Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: The CEMP establishes a concept of operations parallel with the NIMS structure, so is critical in the response phase of disaster planning. While most of the CEMP relates to the response phase, it also appears that several of the Functional Annexes extend into the short‐term recovery phase. This could be further clarified with the addition of the Functional Annexes. Relationship to PDRP: Since the CEMP is concerned with the response and short‐term recovery phases and the PDRP is concerned with the mitigation, recovery and redevelopment phases of disaster planning, there is little overlap between the two plans. However, it is still important to understand how the CEMP can influence the later stages of disaster recovery. This influence appears minimal in the current CEMP, but may become more apparent as the Functional Annexes are developed. Code of Ordinances (Amended October 2012) Description: The Code of Ordinances contains the laws of the City. These are items under the purview of municipal authority including local taxation and elections, regulations for conduct in public spaces and municipal services such as fire prevention, libraries, parks, roads and utilities. They also contain miscellaneous items of local concern, including emergency management. Applicable Disaster Phases: Short‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Chapter 15 – Emergency Management (sets forth that the city manager is the director of emergency management, delegates responsibilities to a coordinator of emergency services and an emergency management coordinating committee, allows the mayor, vice‐mayor, the city manager and the assistant city managers to declare a state of emergency which gives authority for a number of items, including the suspension of local regulations). Relationship to PDRP: When a state of emergency is declared by the authorized individuals, local regulations (e.g., permitting and inspection fees) can be suspended to speed recovery efforts. However, it is important to note that while these local provisions can be suspended, the standard by which building inspections are judged (i.e., the FBC) cannot be suspended, unless it is done so at the state level. It is important to understand this distinction in developing this Plan. Long‐term Recovery and Redevelopment Beach by Design (Amended July 2008) Description: This special area plan sets forth a series of strategies for the revitalization of Clearwater Beach in six topic areas: land use, mobility, off‐street parking, catalytic projects, economic feasibility and financing, and design guidelines. Beach by Design applies to properties on Clearwater Beach south of Acacia Street and outlines special standards and incentives that vary according to the eight character districts established in the plan. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery provisions that control use, density, bulk and design of development (pages 7‐24, 47‐56, 64‐76). Relationship to PDRP: Beach by Design sets forth a vision for redevelopment on Clearwater Beach, one of the more vulnerable Attachment number 3 \nPage 16 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 9 areas of the City because it is a barrier island. Land use issues such as density and bulk have a relationship with mitigation. Decisions on these important issues were made when Beach by Design was adopted by City Council in February 2001 and was last amended in July 2008. Any changes to density or bulk would need support and approval from City Council. Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan (Amended September 2010) Description: This document serves as the special area plan and the community redevelopment plan for the downtown area. It guides development through goals, objectives and policies and regulates uses and development potential for six unique character districts. It also establishes policies that guide future actions and projects of the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery provisions that control use, density, bulk and design of development (pages 47‐54, 59‐76, 81‐150, 214‐216). Relationship to PDRP: The Downtown Redevelopment Plan sets forth a vision for redevelopment Downtown, which includes many waterfront properties which may be more vulnerable to flood and storm events. Land use issues such as density and bulk have a relationship with mitigation. Ideally, populations would be directed away from the waterfront but in reality people are drawn to waterfront property, so more creative mitigation methods need to be explored. Decisions on land use and density were made when the Downtown Redevelopment Plan was adopted by City Council in February 2004 and last amended in September 2010. Any changes to density or bulk would need support and approval from City Council. US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan (Adopted 2012) Description: The US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan is the first step in implementing a new vision for the US 19 Corridor. Over time US 19 has transitioned from a roadway providing land access to a limited‐access highway, affecting the success of certain land uses along the corridor. The City developed the US 19 Plan, which contains land use, economic, mobility and sustainability strategies that take into account the current and planned transportation improvements in order to reposition the corridor in the City and the Region. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery strategies including a New Zoning Overlay District (p. 64), New Design Standards (p. 65), Enhance Gateways and Streetscapes (p. 76), Create Interconnected Street Networks (p. 76), Improve Conditions for Pedestrians and Cyclists (p. 78), Expand Green Streets Program and Initiatives (p. 83), Promote LID for Sites and Buildings (p. 85), Improve Energy and Water Efficiency (p. 87). Relationship to PDRP: Since the US 19 Plan was recently adopted the envisioned zoning overlay district and design standards do not exist yet. Once adopted, they will heavily influence the built Attachment number 3 \nPage 17 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 10 environment as redevelopment occurs along the corridor. In addition, the US 19 Plan lists a number of strategies that should be considered in the event that infrastructure along the corridor is damaged and needs repair. Strategies like Create Interconnected Street Networks and Improve Conditions for Pedestrians and Cyclists can be incorporated into any plans for the public rights‐of‐way that may need repair following a disaster. Coachman Ridge Neighborhood Plan (Adopted 2001) Description: This plan defines the neighborhood’s vision and provides the framework for neighborhood efforts to maintain Coachman Ridge as a desirable neighborhood. It is the basis for the implementation of the Coachman Ridge Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District in the CDC and is used to coordinate public and private initiatives in the neighborhood. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery goals include Goal 2 Neighborhood Character relating to landscaping, property/building maintenance and undergrounding of utilities; Goal 4 Infrastructure relating to sidewalk replacements, street lighting, and undergrounding of communication facilities; Goal 6 Possible Impacts of New Community Sports Complex relating to roadway widening and property use; Goal 7 Neighborhood Perimeter relating to sidewalks and rights‐of‐way maintenance; Goal 8 Traffic and Parking relating to turn lanes and aesthetics standards; Goal 10 Property maintenance relating to dead landscaping replacement and retention ponds; Development Standards. Relationship to PDRP: Any strategies or actions contained in this Plan should be consistent with the goals and development standards contained in this neighborhood plan as they relate to this neighborhood. Island Estates Neighborhood Plan (Adopted 2002) Description: This plan provides a framework for neighborhood enhancement, change and maintenance. It provides the basis for the implementation of the Island Estates Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District in the Clearwater CDC and is used to coordinate public and private initiatives. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery goals including Goal 2 relating to height regulation of structures, repair of seawalls; Goal 3 relating to sidewalks and bike paths, crosswalks; Goal 4 relating to property maintenance and landscaping; Goal 5 relating to the character of redevelopment; Goal 6 relating to utilities and infrastructure; Development Standards (p. 23‐28). Relationship to PDRP: Any strategies or actions contained in this Plan should be consistent with the goals and development standards contained in this neighborhood plan as they relate to this neighborhood.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 11 Clearwater Greenprint: A Framework for a Competitive, Vibrant, Green Future (Adopted 2011) Description: This community plan and vision identifies a series of tangible actions across eight topic areas that can be implemented by the city, residents, businesses and industry. These strategies have the potential to reduce energy consumption, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while reducing energy and other costs for residents and businesses, supporting a variety of housing choices for renters and owners of all ages, and improving the health and quality of life for our city’s residents. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery strategies including the Energy Finance Program (p. 31), Incentives for Upgrades (p. 32), Performance Standards (p. 32), Energy‐Efficient Streetlights (p. 34), Municipal Performance Standard (p. 35), Complete Streets (p. 38), Development Incentives (p. 44), Property Revitalization (p. 45), Diverse Housing Options (p. 45), Greenspace Expansion (p. 46), Waterwise Landscapes (p. 50), Low Impact Development (p. 50) and Urban Agriculture (p. 58). Relationship to PDRP: Since the policies in Clearwater Greenprint are not, as yet, codified, there would be no direct impact to post‐disaster development currently. The policies are indicative of the direction the City is headed, so any strategies or actions contained in this Plan should be consistent with the vision put forth. In addition, these items will be implemented over the outlined timeframe of short term, medium term and long term, so there is potential for these strategies to be integrated in the CDC, which would directly impact post‐disaster redevelopment. Economic Development Strategic Plan (Adopted 2011) Description: After the nationwide economic downturn in the late 2000s the City of Clearwater chose to adopt a more assertive approach to attract new investment, tax base and high‐wage employment in growth industries. The Strategic Plan outlines goals and priority strategies for the City, based on a series of meetings with the business community. The goals focus on land use, investment climate, business retention and expansion, business development and talent and place. Strategies include the establishment of an employment center overlay district, creation of a technology district, creation of a medical overlay district, adoption of a formal incentives policy, refining of the business visitation program and continued enhancement of public amenities and aesthetics. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery strategies that guide City investment (pages 11‐54).

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 12 2011‐2016 Consolidated Plan (Adopted 2011) Description: The 2011‐2016 Consolidated Plan, which is administered by the Housing Division of the City’s Economic Development and Housing Department, is the five‐year strategic plan for housing, community development, community services and economic development activities funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds. The Consolidated Plan contains five goals with associated objectives for implementing each goal. The goals include: Provide availability and accessibility to decent affordable housing to the residents of the City of Clearwater; Help to prevent and reduce homelessness within the City of Clearwater; Expand the accessibility and coordination of social services to City of Clearwater special needs populations; Enhance the living environment for persons in low‐ and moderate‐income areas through public improvement activities, public service programs, and elimination of blight; and Support programs that create economic opportunities throughout the City of Clearwater with special emphasis given to areas and persons of low and moderate income. Applicable Disaster Phases: Long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Long‐term recovery strategies that guide City administration and distribution of CDBG and HOME funds (pages 16‐18). Relationship to PDRP: Any strategies or actions contained in this Plan should be consistent with the goals and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan. PINELLAS COUNTY DOCUMENTS Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) (Updated 2009) Description: The Pinellas County LMS represents a blueprint for how the county, and its municipalities, intend to reduce the impact of natural and human‐caused hazards on people and the built environment. The essential elements of a local mitigation strategy include a risk assessment, capability assessment, mitigation strategy and the mitigation projects list. The process to develop the LMS included a workgroup consisting of 23 voting members (representatives from the municipalities) and 31 non‐voting members (partners from the private and public sectors) who developed goals and policies designed to increase resiliency. The City’s Emergency Manager was a voting member of the LMS workgroup. These goals and policies were included in local government updates to their respective comprehensive plans. Another recommendation of the LMS was to develop a Pinellas County PDRP. The LMS contains similar elements as this Plan—a thorough hazard and risk assessment for the entire county (Appendix 1), a review of local programs, policies and capabilities (Appendices 5 and 6), and a community outreach section (Appendix 7). In addition it contains an Economic Loss Vulnerability Index System (ELVIS) which contains valuable scenario datasets for all the municipalities in the county except City of Clearwater and City of St. Petersburg. The LMS also outlines the potential funding sources for the mitigation projects list. Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning (i.e., mitigation). Attachment number 3 \nPage 20 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 13 Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Appendix 4: Local Mitigation Strategy Goals and Objectives. These goals and objectives apply to various mitigation efforts. These include preventive measures (Objectives 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2. 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2), property protection (Objectives 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 3.4, 4.4, 6.4, 7.3), public education and awareness (Objectives 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 2.5, 2.6, 3.5, 3.6, 4.5, 5.3, 6.5, 6.6, 7.4), natural resource protection (Objectives 1.10, 2.7, 3.7, 5.4, 6.6, 7.5), and structural projects (Objectives 1.11, 2.8, 3.8, 4.8). Relationship to PDRP: Since so many similar elements are contained in the LMS (e.g., vulnerability analysis, capacity assessment, and a public outreach section) it serves as a solid foundation for this Plan. This Plan builds on the mitigation measures outlined in the LMS and extends it to other phases of the disaster cycle—long‐term recovery and redevelopment—and takes advantage of applicable data and strategies. Pinellas County Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP) (June 2012 Draft) Description: The Pinellas County PDRP provides the County and local governments with a countywide reference for guiding local action and decision making during the recovery period following a disaster, as well as detailing pre‐disaster actions that can be taken to speed the recovery process. Its purpose is to make the community more disaster‐resilient by addressing disaster recovery and redevelopment issues with long‐term implications. Applicable Disaster Phases: Pre‐disaster planning, short‐term and long‐term recovery. Provisions that Apply to Disaster Planning: Goals, Issues and Strategies on the following areas: (1) Land Use, Housing and Mitigation (p. 87‐93); (2) Construction, Permitting and Historic Preservation (p. 97‐100); (3) Health and Human Services (p. 145, 149‐150, 158, 161, 163‐164); (4) Economic Restoration (p. 127‐129); (5) Environmental Restoration (p. 112‐115); (6) Infrastructure Restoration (p. 105‐107); (7) Finance and Administration (p. 182‐183); and (8) Public Information (p. 170‐171). Appendices containing action plans on each of the eight topic areas (Appendix 5A‐12A). Relationship to PDRP: Pinellas County’s PDRP process involved a steering group that provided direction to eight work groups that formed to address the areas outline above. The work groups contained individuals representing county, municipal, non‐profit and business interests. Each work group developed an action plan to be integrated into the overall PDRP document, which is scheduled to be adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in late 2013. The County’s approach was comprehensive and multi‐jurisdictional. Staff from the City’s Planning and Development Department attended the Land Use, Housing and Mitigation work group and the Construction, Permitting and Historic Preservation work group. Staff from the City’s Economic Development and Housing Department attended the Economic Restoration work group. Because certain aspects of long‐term recovery and redevelopment are most practical to implement at the County level, the City’s PDRP only addresses goals within the regulatory and financial purview of the City. For action items best handled on the County level, the City will work as a partner alongside the County and other organizations to carry out the County’s PDRP. Attachment number 3 \nPage 21 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 2: LOCAL PLANS INTEGRATION & CAPACITY ASSESSMENT 14 EXISTING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY ASSESSMENT Institutional capacity is the City’s ability for carrying out long‐term recovery and redevelopment. In order to assess the City’s institutional capacity a point system was used. Three areas of capacity were determined—Planning and Regulatory Capacity, Administrative and Technical Capacity and Fiscal Capacity—each area was awarded points for achieving items, then the points were tallied to determine the score.3 The results are detailed in Table 1. The City also completed the Coastal Resilience Index (CRI) on January 28, 2013. The CRI is a community self‐assessment intended to provide community leaders with a simple and inexpensive method of predicting if their community will reach and maintain acceptable levels of functioning after a disaster. The CRI is date‐specific and should be periodically reviewed as Clearwater grows and/or the landscape changes. The City achieved an index score of “High”; the CRI Report is attached as Appendix A. 3 The point system is based on methods used by PDRP pilot communities (www.FloridaJobs.org/PDRP) and the Coastal Resilience Index (www.masgc.org/page.asp?id=591).

This is true of the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), which each City department has, but some may not have been updated in several years. Each department should review their COOP and ensure any changes in organizational structure or responsibilities are reflected in their plan. Planning and Regulatory Capacity PDRP Ordinance: This may be developed as an outcome to this Plan if changes in our existing CDC are needed to ensure recommended actions of this Plan are achieved. Functional Annexes to the CEMP: These are referred to within the larger CEMP so the City needs to develop these annexes to ensure the functional areas described in the CEMP are being accounted for. Alternately, if the Functional Annexes are not important to achieving to the goals of the CEMP reference to them should be removed. Any issues that would otherwise be addressed by the Functional Annexes could instead be addressed within the body of the CEMP. Temporary Housing Plan: Pinellas County is currently developing a temporary housing plan along with an ordinance for temporary housing following a declared state of emergency that applies countywide. It is recommended that the City continue to work with the County on this item instead of having the City’s own Temporary Housing Plan. Floodplain Ordinance: The City’s CDC currently has a Flood Hazard Reduction section (Chapter 51) but is being updated for consistency with changes made to the FBC that went into effect March 15, 2012. This updated ordinance is anticipated for completion by the end of 2013. Economic Development Element of Comprehensive Plan: The City does not currently have an Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan but does put forth many goals, objectives and policies related to economic development, particularly in the Future Land Use Element and the Coastal Management Element. In addition the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan sets forth goals and vision. However since the Strategic Plan is not technically within the City’s Comprehensive Plan the City did not score the point in the capacity assessment, but the intent of having an Economic Development Element is met by this Strategic Plan. Historic Preservation Plan: In order to better preserve historic structures and sites following a disaster it is recommended that the City develop a historic preservation plan. Although the City’s CDC contains a section on Historic Preservation (Article 3, Division 10) and a process for designating structures as historic (Section 4‐607), it lacks a comprehensive plan for identifying, evaluating and protecting these resources. Historic preservation plans should contain basic elements such as strategies for performing an inventory of historic resources, criteria for evaluation of significance, fostering community awareness, and developing preservation partnerships. It should also address historic preservation issues unique in times of disaster by establishing a network of preservation professionals to assist with disaster‐related activities, developing historic preservation review procedures to implement in an emergency and developing site‐specific Emergency Response Plans for individual historic resources.4 4 Disaster Planning for Florida’s Historic Resources, 1000 Friends of Florida, September 2003 Attachment number 3 \nPage 25 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 3: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS 19 CHAPTER 3: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The City of Clearwater is located in central Pinellas County, a peninsula on the west central coast of Florida, bordered on the west by the Gulf of Mexico and on the east by Tampa Bay. Clearwater is the second largest city in the County with 26.2 square miles of land area, 28 miles of coastline and approximately 107,685 residents, 19.8 percent of which are over 65 years of age.5 Clearwater has become virtually built out and experiences growth primarily through relatively small annexations and redevelopment projects. PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED VULNERABILITY ANALYSES The review of existing local documents presented in the previous chapter indicates a number of vulnerability analyses that have already been performed. These include the FMP (updated 2009), the CEMP (updated 2012) and the Pinellas County LMS (updated 2009). The analyses contained in these three plans all identify hazards faced by the community and outline various ways the community is vulnerable to those hazards. This section of the Vulnerability Analysis chapter will summarize these analyses, present some of the key findings and draw conclusions based on those findings. 5 United States Census Bureau, 2010 Population Figure http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/1212875.html Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) Summary This plan focuses on the City’s vulnerability to tidal flooding, hurricanes and tropical storms, and seasonal flooding, and discusses several types of vulnerability including structural, demographic and land use as follows: Breaks out, by land use, the number of parcels and structures within the floodplain and the aggregated estimated improved value of those structures (p. 13‐14). Tallies the population living in special facilities (i.e., hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and ambulatory service centers) that are located in each flood insurance zone (p. 19‐20) and maps them (Figure 11). FIGURE 2: SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS Review of the previously conducted vulnerability analyses available in the Floodplain Management Plan (FMP), Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS), illustrate several key points: Residential development is the largest use category located within the floodplain, so continued City participation in Federal flood hazard programs is critical. The City is most vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms and tornadoes, so resources are best directed to mitigation efforts that reduce vulnerability to water and wind damage. The City already participates in programs designed to reduce vulnerability to water and wind damage but should explore innovative mitigation techniques that further ensure disaster resiliency.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 3: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS 20 Lists the acreage of each land use within the floodplain (p. 23‐24). Lists the number of critical facilities (fire stations, police stations, hospitals, storm/emergency shelters, airports, hazardous material storage site) by type in the floodplain (p. 25) and maps them (Figure 13). Key Findings The land uses with the lowest number of parcels located in the floodplain include commercial (11 percent) and office (12 percent); the land uses with the highest number of parcels located in the floodplain include open space and recreation (63 percent) and preservation (71 percent) (p. 13‐14). All new residential development and redevelopment within the floodplain must comply with FEMA requirements (p. 14). Preservation and Recreation/Open Space Future Land Use classifications account for 31 percent of the floodplain and 11 percent of the entire City land area. Residential or commercial development is prohibited within these land use classifications (p. 15). Twenty‐two percent of the City’s population lives within a defined VE, AE or A flood insurance zone (p. 19). Five out of the 49 special facilities in the City are located within the floodplain (p. 20). Since 1978, 235 repetitive loss flood insurance claims have been made on 89 properties within the City, amounting to $4,196,871 in flood insurance compensation. The Coastal Basin (Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates) contains 80 percent of the City’s repetitive loss properties, amounting to $3,151,860 in flood insurance compensation (p. 20). Seventeen percent (3,487‐acres) of the City’s land mass is located within the floodplain (p. 24). Forty percent (1,379‐acres) of the land within the floodplain is residentially developed (p. 24). Five percent of the land within the floodplain is vacant (p. 24). Four percent of the unincorporated county land located within the City’s Planning Area is within the floodplain (p. 24). Nineteen percent, or 10 out of 52, of the critical facilities located within the City are within the floodplain (p. 25).

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 3: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS 21 Conclusions The limited amount of land used for non‐residential purposes (29 percent) and the large amount of preservation and recreation/open space land uses (31 percent), within the floodplain reduces vulnerability to flooding (see Figure 3). Since 40 percent of the land within the floodplain is residentially developed, it is important that the City continue to participate in pre‐ and post‐flood hazard programs offered by the Federal government. Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) Summary This plan contains an overview of how vulnerable the City is to a list of hazards according to impact, frequency and distribution. These factors are summarized in a matrix (p. 12). Key Findings The City is most vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms, tornados, and hazardous materials facilities and transportation (p. 12). Conclusions Based on the City’s higher vulnerability to the hazard types mentioned above it is most important to continue to concentrate mitigation efforts on those that reduce vulnerability to water and wind damage. Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Summary This countywide plan contains hazard identification and risk assessment of those hazards. Of the three plans reviewed in this Chapter, the LMS contains the most extensive vulnerability analysis. Hazard modeling was used to assess the risk and impact in real terms (Mapping for Emergency Management, Parallel Hazard Information System or MEMPHIS). MEMPHIS produced data and maps which were obtained through simulation using the TAOS (The Arbiter of Storms) model, Department of Revenue (DOR) Tax Records and Census 2000 data. TAOS divided the county into hazard zones based on wind, wave, rainfall and storm surge perils. Potential dollar losses were calculated based on DOR Tax Records and Census 2000 data. MEMPHIS included data showing: Persons and facilities living in the various hurricane evacuation zones (Table 4, p. Appendix 1‐11). Analysis of each type of natural hazard (p. Appendix 1‐14 to 1‐30). Structures at risk by flood insurance zone and aggregate value of those structures (Tables 10 and 11, p. Appendix 1‐20). Aggregate property damage figures based on hurricane category (p. Appendix 1‐23 to 1‐24). Number of structures and their aggregate value damaged by flood and wind event category, and flood zone category (Tables 21‐23, p. Appendix 1‐31). Number of structures and their aggregate value damaged by wind zone category and by flood insurance category (Tables 24 and 25, p. Appendix 1‐32). This plan also includes: Multi‐Jurisdiction Vulnerability Analysis table showing all the jurisdictions in Pinellas County and which hazards each is vulnerable to (Table 20, p. Appendix 1‐30). Economic Loss Vulnerability Index System (ELVIS) showing the relative risk of various hazards through the use of loss costs (the long term average of the damage a hazard Attachment number 3 \nPage 29 of 96

Clearwater was not included in the break‐out communities (Appendix 1, Attachment 1). Repetitive Loss Property Inventory, which includes properties for which two or more losses of at least $1,000 each have been paid by the NFIP over a rolling 10‐year period (Appendix 13). Key Findings An estimated 588,434 Pinellas County residents are considered “population‐at‐risk” for a worst‐case Category 5 hurricane scenario (p. Appendix 1‐10). In Pinellas County an estimated 254,695 structures totaling an aggregate value of $123.66 billion are located in high risk6 flood zone categories (p. Appendix 1‐20). A Category 1 hurricane would result in an estimated 0.6 percent of total housing units, or 2,912 units, as uninhabitable in Pinellas County, and a Category 5 would result in an estimated 18.2 percent of total housing units, or 87,522 units, as uninhabitable (p. Appendix 1‐23 to 1‐24). (See Figure 4) Mainland Clearwater is most vulnerable to storm winds while the Clearwater Beach area is most vulnerable to coastal flooding, storm winds and erosion (p. Appendix 1‐30). The State of Florida has more repetitive loss properties than any other state in the nation, totaling 2,185,900, of which 15 percent are located in Pinellas County. The City 6 Federal Emergency Management Agency https://msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/info?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=‐1&content=floodZones&title=FEMA%2520Flood%2520Zone%2520Designations of Clearwater accounts for only 6 percent of the repetitive loss properties in the County (Appendix 13). Conclusions Because much of Pinellas County is vulnerable to flooding and wind damage it is important to continue mitigation efforts, including participation in local, state and federal programs designed to reduce vulnerability. Additionally, it is important that new mitigation efforts are explored, such as a land acquisition program, new coastal protection policies, and a “code plus” flood mitigation incentive program. Several organizations promote code plus upgrades which are designed to strengthen a structure’s outer envelope (i.e., roof and wall systems, doors, windows and foundation).7 FIGURE 4: ESTIMATED IMPACT OF HURRICANES IN PINELLAS COUNTY 7 http://www.disaster‐resource.com/index.php 0100002000030000400005000060000700008000090000100000Category 1Category 2Category 3Category 4Category 5Number of Unihabitable Housing UnitsHurricane CategoryAttachment number 3 \nPage 30 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 3: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS 23 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE ANALYSES There are several kinds of vulnerability that a community may have, including geographic, structural, social and economic. The previously conducted analyses are limited for a number of reasons: they do not include an analysis of all types of vulnerability (the CEMP), they do not contain information for just the City of Clearwater (the LMS), and they are focused on only one hazard (the FMP). For these reasons it is recommended that future vulnerability analyses include all hazards and vulnerability types and be focused solely on the City of Clearwater. Opportunities for future analyses are shown in Table 2. The intent of these additional analyses is to provide a more accurate picture of the City’s vulnerabilities so the City can increase its disaster resiliency. Of increasing importance in coming years is the role of sea level rise in the vulnerability of coastal communities like Clearwater. According to the Florida Oceans and Coastal Council, sea level rise may cause substantial saltwater flooding of coastal property and infrastructure, greater vulnerability to storm surges and erosion and destruction of vital coastal habits.8 The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services has been measuring sea level for over 150 years, with tide stations on all U.S. coasts.9 Many factors contribute to change in sea level including short‐term changes (e.g., tides, winter snow melt, storms) and long‐term changes (e.g., seasonal weather patterns, changes in ocean circulation). Adding to these variations are the effects of a changing climate which include changes in global temperatures, hydrologic cycles, coverage of glaciers and storm 8 Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Planning: Addressing Sea Level Rise During Long‐term Recovery, Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Florida Division of Emergency Management, 2012 9 http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.shtml frequency and intensity.10 Within the next 90 years it is projected that sea level will rise at least 8 inches and no more than 6.6 feet in the U.S. Using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Sea Level Rise viewer,11 Figure 5 shows the various possibilities of sea level rise for the portion of Clearwater on the Gulf of Mexico.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 27 CHAPTER 4: ISSUES ISSUES DISCUSSION In order to develop goals, first issues need to be identified. Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Planning: A Guide for Florida Communities (October 2010) (referred to as the Guide throughout the rest of this Plan), a joint effort between the Florida Department of Community Affairs (now the Department of Economic Opportunity) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), provides a foundation for local governments to create post‐disaster redevelopment plans by outlining the issues that should ideally be addressed within such a plan. A discussion of each issue is essential in developing Plan Goals, Strategies and an Action Plan (Chapter 5 and Appendix C). The issues are divided according to six topic areas: Housing, Infrastructure and Public Facilities, Environment, Economic Redevelopment, Land Use and Health and Social Services. Each issue in the Guide is assigned a category: Minimum (suggested to be undertaken first), Recommended (suggested to be undertaken if resources are available) and Advanced (suggested once a community has a solid foundation for hazard mitigation and disaster recovery—these are best practices). The following section includes a brief description of each issue, how the issue is currently being addressed in Clearwater, and steps forward to ensure the issue is adequately addressed. Some issues, primarily those listed in the “Advanced” category are not currently addressed and will not be addressed as part of this original version of the Plan. However, once the City approves this Plan and completes the items listed in the Action Plan, these Advanced issues should be revisited as part of future planning efforts and revisions to this Plan. While there is always more planning that can be done to reduce vulnerability and increase resiliency, the City should begin by addressing the issues that are most critical and can be accomplished utilizing current staff resources and funding. Once these issues are addressed the City should address less critical issues and issues that require greater staff time and funding. Housing Temporary Housing Siting Criteria, Provision, and Removal (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Temporary housing provides a bridge for community residents from living in emergency shelters to inhabiting their homes following repair or reconstruction. Temporary housing can take many different forms including employer‐supplied temporary housing on commercial properties, group sites and temporary units on property where the existing primary residence is declared uninhabitable. FIGURE 6: CHAPTER 4 ISSUES ORGANIZATION Each issue contains the following analysis: Description of Issue (i.e., Why does this matter?) Clearwater Context (i.e., How does Clearwater approach this issue?) Steps Forward (i.e., How do we ensure the issue is adequately addressed? Three possible outcomes.) No steps forward, issue is adequately addressed in existing plans, documents or programs Steps forward will be outlined in this Plan (Actions in Appendix C) Steps forward will be addressed by future planning efforts and incorporated as this Plan is updated Attachment number 3 \nPage 35 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 28 PHOTOGRAPH 2: MARK WOLFE, OCTOBER 22, 2004, PORT CHARLOTTE, FLORIDA Clearwater Context Section 3‐2103.M of the City’s CDC addresses the location (allowable in all zoning districts) and time limit (18 months, or longer if authorized by resolution of the City Council) of temporary relocation tents or mobile homes. Pinellas County’s PDRP contains strategies for developing a disaster housing plan, including group site selection and a Temporary Housing Ordinance that would be applicable Countywide. The Pinellas County Community Development and Planning Departments drafted a Temporary Housing Ordinance while writing the County’s PDRP. A draft of the ordinance, dated March 2013, was reviewed by City staff. The ordinance addresses issues including where temporary housing can be located, for how long and conditions applicable to types of temporary housing (e.g., group sites). Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate with Pinellas County in the development of the countywide Temporary Housing Ordinance and provide assistance, where applicable, in implementing the County’s PDRP actions relating to disaster housing. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Ability to Reconstruct Homes Rapidly (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Getting residents back in their homes is critical to the social and economic recovery of a community. Various factors increase how quickly this reconstruction can take place, including an adequate supply of material and labor, availability of licensed contractors and skilled construction workers, and expedited post‐disaster repair permitting and inspection processes. An issue not discussed in the Guide but connected to the ability to reconstruct homes rapidly relates to property division and proof of ownership following a catastrophic disaster. Following a storm markers may be covered by debris or even washed away, presenting issues in determining property division. There may also be a shortage of land surveyors available following a disaster since need exceeds typical demand. In addition, property owners may face difficulty in proving ownership. For example, following Hurricane Katrina, proof of ownership documents were lost or difficult to find and some property owners felt FEMA had inconsistent rules as to what documents were sufficient to serve as proof of ownership.12 12 Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General.

Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 29 Clearwater Context Pinellas County’s PDRP addresses the issues relating to adequate supply of material and labor and availability of licensed contractors. The City’s Planning and Development Department addresses the issue of post‐disaster repair permitting and inspection processes through an internal document, Development Services Guide to After a Disaster. This document organizes the logistical operations of the Department by outlining assessment teams, permitting procedures, inspections and other considerations, but does not outline an expedited permitting or inspection process. The City is currently working on an Interlocal Agreement (in the draft stage) with Pinellas County to provide building plans reviewers and inspectors following a disaster. Section 4‐202 of the CDC sets forth required materials for applications for development approval, which would include building permits to repair or rebuild structures. The CDC gives the “Community Development Coordinator” (i.e., the Director of the Planning and Development Department) broad authority in determining which “plans and relevant support materials” are needed for permit applications. Current Planning and Development Department procedures require signed and sealed surveys for permits involving site work and vary by division in what legal instruments are sufficient in providing proof of ownership. This has the potential for confusion or frustration in a post‐disaster environment, similar to frustrations Hurricane Katrina survivors experienced with inconsistent application by FEMA. Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions relating to the adequate supply of material, labor and licensed contractors. The City should update the internal document, Development Services Guide to After a Disaster to include expedited permitting and inspection processes. The City should continue to work with the County on an Interlocal Agreement that can be taken to City Council for approval. In addition, the City can explore agreements with other jurisdictions and private companies that provide building plans review and inspection services. The City should conduct more detailed research of the issue of property division following catastrophic disasters and challenges faced in surveying property post‐disaster. Development Services Guide to After a Disaster should also be updated to clarify which legal instruments will be acceptable as proof of ownership, for obtaining building permits, following a disaster. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. PHOTOGRAPH 3: ED EDAHL, MAY 25, 2005, ACADIA, FLORIDA Attachment number 3 \nPage 37 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 30 Transitioning Residents Back to Permanent Housing (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue While many residents will have the resources to repair or rebuild their homes on their own, others may require more assistance as they navigate disaster assistance programs and insurance claims. Clearwater Context This issue is more closely related to the Health and Social Services topic as it involves community outreach and counseling services. Pinellas County has thoroughly addressed this issue through their PDRP. Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions that transition residents back to permanent housing. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Rebuilding Affordable Housing (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue According to the Guide, low‐cost housing tends to be concentrated in older buildings and sections of town, is often disproportionately damaged, and displaced persons from this type of housing might not be able to afford rents in repaired or rebuilt buildings. Therefore, an effort needs to be made to replace affordable housing. PHOTOGRAPH 4: JOCYLYN AUGUSTINO, JULY 16, 2005, PENSACOLA, FLORIDA Clearwater Context The City has goals, objectives and policies regarding affordable housing in the Comprehensive Plan and existing programs for affordable housing in the Economic Development and Housing Department. The Housing Division of the Economic Development and Housing Department administers funding from three programs—CDBG and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) which are Federal programs and the State Housing Initiatives Partnership program (SHIP) which is a state program. Funding from all three programs can be used for vouchers for temporary rental housing and repair and construction after a disaster. Following a disaster the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will contribute staff, on a temporary basis, to help the City in administering these programs. However, the Housing Division currently does not have a COOP to outline how the Department would respond after a disaster and how they would coordinate Attachment number 3 \nPage 38 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 31 with Federal staff. Section 3‐920 of the CDC offers a density bonus for developments that set a certain percentage of units aside as affordable. This incentive could prove especially useful in the post‐disaster redevelopment context. Pinellas County has also addressed this issue in its PDRP. Steps Forward The City should develop a COOP for the Housing Division, including how efforts will be coordinated with Federal HUD staff. The City should continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions relating to rebuilding affordable housing in addition to the City’s own efforts through the Housing Division of the Economic Development and Housing Department. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Encouraging Homeowners to Incorporate Mitigation During Rebuilding (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue The primary housing goal following a disaster is to get people back into their permanent homes. However, homeowners should also be encouraged to take advantage of any mitigation opportunities to decrease vulnerability to disasters. Clearwater Context The current FBC, with an effective date of March 15, 2012, requires more mitigation than pre‐2002 codes. The FMP also outlines additional mitigation efforts that are available to homeowners. Pinellas County’s LMS includes an entire appendix outlining opportunities for mitigation. Steps Forward The City should continue to review and permit according to the FBC, work with residents on the programs outlined in the FMP and work with Pinellas County in implementing the LMS. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Infrastructure and Public Facilities Infrastructure for Temporary Recovery Operations (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Temporary infrastructure may be needed following a disaster, particularly if group sites are created. However, in greenfield communities there is often pressure to build permanent infrastructure to a site after the short‐term recovery phase if temporary infrastructure has already been extended to a group site. The presence of temporary infrastructure is believed to demonstrate that more permanent infrastructure is appropriate because the group site has already been cleared and given transportation access. Clearwater Context Since Clearwater has little vacant land (i.e., is a “built out” community) and has a defined Planning Area established through an interlocal agreement with the County, it is unlikely the City would face challenges typically associated with this issue. The City has the capability of providing stand‐by facilities for potable water and diversion pumps for sewage as long as the main structures have not been affected. City resources will be directed at restoring permanent infrastructure. Any possible group sites should be located on properties with access to permanent infrastructure. Steps Forward None, as issue is adequately addressed. Attachment number 3 \nPage 39 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 32 PHOTOGRAPH 5: GEORGE ARMSTRONG, SEPTEMBER 18, 2008, HILLIARD, FLORIDA Debris Management (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue A large amount of clean‐up may be necessary following a disaster. Certain types of debris may require special handling to limit soil and water contamination. Additionally, vacant land may be required to temporarily store debris until it can moved to appropriate facilities. Clearwater Context The City’s Solid Waste Department currently has two disaster recovery debris removal contracts—a primary contractor and a secondary contractor. If the amount of debris to be collected, sorted and hauled is too much for the primary contractor, then the secondary contractor is brought in for additional help. The debris contracts are thorough and include all storm‐generated or disaster related debris including hazardous and industrial waste materials; each type of debris has an established pricing structure within the contract. The City’s contractors assist in tracking all debris through the various stages: from the damage site to the temporary storage site to final disposal; and assist the City with documenting and submitting necessary paperwork to FEMA for reimbursement. Steps Forward None, as issue is adequately addressed. Financing Infrastructure and Public Facilities Repair (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Following a disaster there is the potential for a great number of infrastructure and public facilities repairs or replacements. Because need is usually greater than resources, communities have to prioritize projects. Some of the factors that influence prioritization include a basic knowledge of what is covered under insurance policies, which projects are eligible for Federal funds or grant programs, the extent of City financial reserves and current Capital Improvement Programming. Clearwater Context The City is well positioned to finance infrastructure and public facilities repair. The Federal Government pays for at least 75 percent of all local infrastructure damage through Public Assistance funds.13 The City’s current insurance policies cover all City buildings and infrastructure, excluding underground piping, and are insured for losses resulting from a 100‐year storm, 13 Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended, and Related Authorities, June 2007, Section 406 https://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?fromSearch=fromsearch&id=3564 Attachment number 3 \nPage 40 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 33 according to a Probable Maximum Loss Study. A separate insurance policy covers City controlled bridges. In addition, the City has substantial bonding capacity, if needed to finance further repairs. Steps Forward None, as issue is adequately addressed. Infrastructure and Public Facilities Mitigation (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue Following a disaster there may be opportunities to repair or rebuild infrastructure and public facilities so they are more resilient to future disasters. Clearwater Context Several Policies in the Comprehensive Plan acknowledge this opportunity and direct the City to mitigate future disasters by reconstructing facilities to minimize vulnerability. Steps Forward These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Relocation of Vulnerable Infrastructure and Public Facilities (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue To prevent repetitive damage to infrastructure and public facilities communities may consider relocating damaged infrastructure to less vulnerable areas, as opposed to rebuilding in the same location. PHOTOGRAPH 6: ANDREA BOOHER, JULY 11, 2005, NAVARRE BEACH, FLORIDA Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains two Policies that address this issue. Steps Forward These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Regional Infrastructure Consideration (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Some infrastructure is regional in nature and may be under the jurisdiction of larger entities such as the County or State. These include bridges and high volume roadways. In order to recover quickly as a community, regional coordination and planning on these items is needed. Attachment number 3 \nPage 41 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 34 PHOTOGRAPH 7: GEORGE ARMSTRONG, JULY 3, 2012, LIVE OAK, FLORIDA Clearwater Context The City participates in a number of regional committees and organizations related to infrastructure, including the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC), and the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA). Pinellas County’s PDRP addresses the continued need for regional coordination in the Infrastructure Restoration Action Plan. Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate shared infrastructure with countywide and regional organizations. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Enhanced Infrastructure Capacity to Priority Redevelopment Areas (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Some jurisdictions that participated in the State’s PDRP Pilot Program chose to designate certain areas as “Priority Redevelopment Areas” or PRAs. The concept behind PRAs is that following a disaster, limited public funds should be focused on the redevelopment of important community centers. This issue means that infrastructure should not only be restored to identified PRAs first, but the infrastructure may need to have enhanced capacity if density or intensity of development is increased to accommodate possible transfer of population from hazardous areas of the community to safer areas of the community. Clearwater Context The City has not identified any PRAs as of date. Steps Forward As the City identifies PRAs in future planning efforts, enhanced infrastructure in the PRAs is something that can also be explored. Further development of this issue should be included in future planning efforts and incorporated into updates of this Plan. Environment Beach and Dune Restoration (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Beaches and dunes offer natural protection from coastal flooding, especially on barrier islands like Clearwater Beach. They also provide nesting grounds for endangered sea turtles and beach‐nesting sea birds. Acceleration of sea level rise over the coming decades will intensify erosion, therefore increasing vulnerability. Attachment number 3 \nPage 42 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 35 PHOTOGRAPH 8: ANDREA BOOHER, JUNE 13, 2005, PENSACOLA BEACH, FLORIDA For these reasons dune protection and restoration is vital to the natural environment and the economy. Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains several Objectives and Policies related to erosion control and dune preservation and restoration. In addition, the Pinellas County PDRP lists decreasing erosion as an action and the LMS lists dune protection as an objective. Steps Forward The City should continue to reinforce Comprehensive Plan Objectives and Policies related to erosion control and dune preservation and restoration. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Environmental Contamination (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Spills, leaks or discharges of toxic chemicals into the environment can occur as a result of high winds, storm surge or flooding. Sources of environmental pollution include wastewater treatment facilities, hazardous storage facilities and gasoline from vehicles or boats. Clearwater Context The City’s Solid Waste Department’s contracts for disaster recovery services include the collection and disposal of hazardous and industrial waste materials and also accounts for clean fill dirt and sand screening that may be needed after a disaster. Any waterway pollution cleanup needs to be coordinated on a regional basis since water traverses jurisdictional boundaries. Pinellas County’s PDRP contains action items relating to waterway pollution. Steps Forward The City should assist the County in implementing its PDRP actions relating to waterway pollution cleanup. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Environmental and Historical Review of Temporary Sites (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Sites needed for temporary housing, businesses or debris management following a disaster may leave long‐term impacts on the sites. For this reason any project that receives federal funding is subject to review for compliance with the National Attachment number 3 \nPage 43 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 36 Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).14 There are exceptions to this, which are outlined in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR) Section 10.8 (c) and (d)(2).15 The Stafford Act outlines exceptions, including a number of activities in support of disaster response and recovery, like debris removal, temporary housing (except group sites) and assistance to individuals and households.16 Clearwater Context The City should plan to comply with any requirements of NEPA not exempt under the Stafford Act. Even if an activity is believed to be exempt, the responsible Department Director should always contact the appropriate State and Federal agencies to confirm the activity is exempt. Steps Forward The City should coordinate environmental and historical reviews following a disaster. This item is formulated into actions in this Plan. Natural Land and Habitat Restoration (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue Tidal wetlands, marshes, swamps, and mangroves protect against the inundation of flood waters by acting as a natural filtration system and serving as vital habitats for plants and animals. 14The Florida Greenbook: Environmental and Historic Preservation Compliance, Florida Division of Emergency Management, 2010, http://www.floridadisaster.org/Recovery/documents/FLGreenbook.pdf 15 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR‐2007‐title44‐vol1/pdf/CFR‐2007‐title44‐vol1‐sec10‐8.pdf 16 Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended, and Related Authorities, June 2007, Sections 407 and 408. Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains several Objectives and Policies that support estuary and habitat restoration. Pinellas County’s PDRP addresses habitat restoration in the Environmental Restoration Action Plan. The LMS also lists habitat restoration as an objective. In addition, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program has a Habitat Master Plan that addresses habitat restoration. Steps Forward The City should assist the County in implementing its PDRP actions relating to natural land and habitat restoration and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program in implementing its Habitat Master Plan. In addition, the City should continue to reinforce Objectives and Policies from the Comprehensive Plan that support estuary and habitat restoration. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Green Rebuilding (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Devastation can provide opportunities to rethink how a community wants to build back. Green building, a suite of practices aimed at making more environmentally responsible and energy‐efficient buildings and sites, provides such an opportunity to build back stronger, safer and more resilient. For example, 90 percent of the City of Greensburg, Kansas was destroyed following a tornado in 2007. Despite this catastrophic loss the City pulled together and made the choice to rebuild in an environmentally friendly manner. As of date Greensburg has the most LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings per capita in the world.17 17 http://www.greensburgks.org/ Attachment number 3 \nPage 44 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 37 Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains an objective that directs the City of Clearwater to promote the use of green building. In addition, Clearwater Greenprint contains strategies relating to green building. Steps Forward The City should continue to implement strategies from Clearwater Greenprint that relate to green building. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Parks and Urban Forest Restoration (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Parks and urban forests can be severely damaged following a wind, fire or storm surge event. Since trees help reduce energy consumption, filter pollutants from air and water, recharge aquifers, and provide habitat for species their loss following a disaster impacts the quality of life. Restoring parks and forests is essential to the environmental and social health of the community. Re‐planting trees quickly without a broader strategy can increase vulnerability to the next storm, so it is important that professional arborists, the City and residents coordinate. Clearwater Context Clearwater Greenprint discusses tree canopy expansion and a community education program. Article 3, Division 12 of the CDC outlines the requirements for landscaping and tree protection on private property; this would still apply following a disaster. If certain types of plant material that are required by the CDC are difficult to obtain after a disaster, the applicant can use the Comprehensive Landscaping Program outlined in Section 3‐1202.G of the CDC, which allows for greater flexibility. Pinellas County’s PDRP states it will develop a re‐forestation plan in the Environmental Restoration Action Plan. Steps Forward The City should implement Land Use and Urban Form Strategy 4 “Greenspace Expansion” from Clearwater Greenprint. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. As part of a future planning effort, the City should consider development of an Urban Forest Management Plan, which would include reforestation strategies following a disaster. Alternatively, the City could consider partnering with Pinellas County in the development of a reforestation plan. Once pursued, either of these options should be incorporated to future updates of this Plan. Economic Redevelopment Resumption and Retention of Major Employers (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Since employment is a primary reason for residents to return and rebuild quickly after a disaster, it is important for major employers to get back to business as soon as possible. Most major employers already have business continuity plans, but government can help in other ways. One way to help is for the City to aid businesses located in hazardous areas in relocating, temporarily or permanently, within the community. Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains a Policy stating the City will coordinate with businesses to aid in disaster planning and recovery for businesses in the coastal storm area. Pinellas County’s PDRP contains actions and strategies aimed at getting businesses up and running again. Attachment number 3 \nPage 45 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 38 PHOTOGRAPH 9: JOCELYN AUGUSTINO, NOVEMBER 5, 2005, BIG PINE KEY, FLORIDA Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions relating to business resumption and retention. The City should also implement the Policy in the Comprehensive Plan that coordinates with businesses in disaster planning and recovery. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Small Business Assistance (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Small businesses usually comprise the majority of businesses in a community and are less likely than large businesses to reopen or succeed following a disaster. In fact, approximately 40 to 60 percent of small businesses never reopen following a disaster.18 The State of Florida offers bridge loans,19 but only for businesses that suffer physical damage, so businesses that simply have their normal operations interrupted or experience indirect impacts do not qualify. In reaching out to small businesses it is important to remember there are really two groups with different needs to consider—the small business owner and the property owner, since often small businesses do not own the land or building where they operate. Small business owners should carry insurance related to covering the loss of personal property (e.g., office equipment and supplies, furniture and inventory) and income. These include business continuity or business income and interruption insurance. Property owners should carry insurance relating to the loss of real property (e.g., land and buildings). Home and business insurance does not cover flood damage from a hurricane—these insurance policies must be purchased through the NFIP. Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains a strategy that states the City will coordinate with the Chambers of Commerce in developing an informational program about hurricane preparedness for local businesses. The Economic Development Department already gives emergency response guides, developed in 2011 with the help of the City’s Emergency Manager, to businesses in Clearwater. In 2011 the City Council created the Clearwater Business Task Force as a result of concerns over the environment facing businesses in the City. One of the recommendations of the Business Task Force’s Final Report was that the City should establish emergency land use, zoning and permitting Codes to deal with a major natural disaster, and that these provisions should allow affected businesses to immediately relocate to other 18 http://www.preparemybusiness.org/ 19 http://www.floridadisasterloan.org/ Attachment number 3 \nPage 46 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 39 areas in the City to continue operations. Pinellas County’s PDRP contains strategies and actions related to assisting small business. Steps Forward The City should coordinate with the Chambers of Commerce in developing an informational program about hurricane preparedness for local businesses. The City should provide more information on disaster recovery to small businesses through the existing business visitation program. The City should coordinate seminars that help small businesses prepare for disasters through the Pinellas County Economic Development Small Business Development Center. To address the concern of the Business Task Force, the City can establish emergency provisions that would allow businesses affected by disasters to temporarily relocate to other parts of the City. The City should also continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions related to small business assistance. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Workforce Retention (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue In order for businesses to function following a disaster there must be a workforce to fill the positions. To retain employees, schools need to be open, childcare needs to be available and people need places to live. Clearwater Context Pinellas County’s PDRP addresses several of these issues (e.g., schools and childcare). The City addresses the rebuilding of housing through existing documents and will also develop strategies and actions as part of this Plan. Steps Forward The City should assist the County in implementing its PDRP actions related to temporary housing and awareness of employment opportunities in addition to the City’s own efforts in ensuring the availability of housing. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Tourism Renewal (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue Clearwater is heavily reliant on the success of the tourism industry so it is vital following a disaster that our community is viewed as being “back in business.” A big part of getting tourists back is restoring the attractions that draw them here—the beaches, entertainment and cultural attractions. Media outlets may be more interested in showing visual images of devastation, negative reports and shortfalls in emergency response rather than restoration of beaches, success stories, and incremental improvement. A unified regional media strategy will create more success through aggregated resources. Clearwater Context Pinellas County’s PDRP contains actions and strategies designed specifically to help tourism related businesses following disasters. For example, one action states that local annual events and festivals should resume and be promoted and another states that strategic staged marketing and public relations campaigns should be developed. Steps Forward The City should continue to coordinate with the County in implementing its PDRP actions related to ensuring tourism returns after a disaster. The City should also coordinate with the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Clearwater Attachment number 3 \nPage 47 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 40 Beach Chamber of Commerce in development of a media campaign designed to bring tourism back to the area following a disaster. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Physical Economic Redevelopment Projects (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Opportunities may arise after a disaster to start planned physical economic development projects or create new projects that use post‐disaster funding or available land. CRA districts and Enterprise Zones can be great locations to focus post‐disaster redevelopment projects since these districts have special financing tools, like tax increment financing. Clearwater Context The City’s Downtown CRA currently has a number of grant programs and strategic plans. Steps Forward The City should continue to implement the current CRA programs and plan following a disaster. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Opportunities to Sustainably Restore Economic Vitality (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue A disaster may provide the opportunity for businesses to assess their long‐term niche in the local market and take advantage of any changes in demographics or business incentives that may occur as a result of the disaster. An already struggling business may need to rethink its business plan and use the disaster as an entrepreneurial impetus to redefine its purpose. Communities with a diverse spectrum of businesses will be better poised for recovery following a disaster, so any efforts to diversify the local economy should continue. Clearwater Context The Economic Development Strategic Plan outlines strategies that identify several target industries that will diversify Clearwater’s economy (for further information see the review of the Strategic Plan in Chapter 2). Steps Forward The City should continue to implement strategies from the Economic Development Strategic Plan in an effort to sustainably restore economic vitality after a disaster. This item is formulated into an action in this Plan. Land Use Phased Reconstruction and Streamlined Permitting (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue If there are no procedures for differentiating between various types of permit applications and when they will be processed, planning and development staff could be overwhelmed and the critical permits that need to be issued for recovery to advance could be delayed. Clearwater Context The Comprehensive Plan contains Policies that state temporary building moratoriums may be declared and requires this Plan to distinguish between building permits needed for immediate repair and those related to long‐term repair. The document Development Services Guide to After a Disaster organizes logistical operations of the Planning and Development Department but does not outline a streamlined permitting process. The CDC Attachment number 3 \nPage 48 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 41 establishes rules regarding what can be permitted with a building permit and what requires a special approval process, such as a hearing before the Development Review Committee (DRC) or CDB. Each of these hearings has specified procedures including required public noticing and time frames for review of applications. Steps Forward Due to public perception of moratoria, City staff discussion concluded that developing temporary moratoria is not a direction the City would likely pursue. However, this should not limit efforts of future staff and the City Council to move forward with any such efforts. The document Development Services Guide to After a Disaster should be updated to address permit review and inspection timing. In order to further streamline permitting for properties subject to special area plans (e.g., Beach by Design, Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan), the City should examine what items require administrative approval versus approval from the CDB and consider a post‐disaster policy framework that would allow for a shift to administrative approval for certain items. The City should also review requirements for public hearings and time frames for review of applications in the context of a post‐disaster development setting. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Build Back Standards for Nonconforming and Substantially Damaged Structures (Minimum Achievement Level) Description of Issue Nonconforming and substantial damage policies generally state that a structure must be rebuilt to current adopted standards once it meets a certain damage threshold. Clearwater Context The City of Clearwater uses the 50 percent rule—meaning if a structure sustains damage where the cost of restoring the structure would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure, then the structure must be brought into compliance with the City’s flood damage prevention regulations, including elevating the building to or above the 100‐year flood elevation. Any nonconforming structure that is destroyed or damaged to 50 percent or more of the assessed value of the structure must comply with the current CDC. CDC Section 6‐109.B. provides a way for structures that are nonconforming with respect to density to be reconstructed on the same parcel, provided approval from the CDB is obtained. These rules would still apply after a disaster. Steps Forward None, as issue is adequately addressed. Controlling Long‐term Post‐disaster Blight (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue If some residents chose not to return to their homes or lack necessary funds to repair them after a disaster it could result in blight throughout the community. Blight abatement after a disaster could be beyond the capability of current local code enforcement procedures. Clearwater Context The CDC outlines code enforcement proceedings and penalties in Part I, Article 7. Procedures vary depending on if the violation is a non‐nuisance case versus a nuisance case. Nuisances are defined in Section 3‐1503 of the CDC and include situations typical following a devastating disaster—abandoned or boarded up Attachment number 3 \nPage 49 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 42 buildings, accumulation of weeds, debris, trash and the like. Section 7‐103 of the CDC outlines the remedies and penalties for properties that are determined to have a nuisance by the Municipal Code Enforcement Board. Remedies and penalties include fines, repairs under the authority of the City Manager, agreements to abate the nuisance, liens, stopwork orders and revocations of permits. Steps Forward The City should review its procedures for the demolition of unsafe structures for opportunities to streamline the process so these structures are addressed in a timely manner before they severely impact the surrounding neighborhood. This item is formulated into actions in this Plan. PHOTOGRAPH 10: ANDREA BOOHER, JULY 22, 2005, GREEN POINT, FLORIDA Reducing Disaster Vulnerability through Voluntary Mitigation Programs (Recommended Achievement Level) Description of Issue Resilience to future disasters can be increased by building back differently in high hazard locations after a disaster. This can be accomplished through voluntary programs like transfer of development rights and mitigation incentives. A transfer of development rights program that includes criteria for decreasing development rights in hazardous locations by transferring them to more sustainable areas would be an example of reducing disaster vulnerability through a voluntary mitigation program. Clearwater Context The City currently has a transfer of development rights program as outlined in Article 4, Division 14 of the CDC. However the program is rarely used. There are currently no incentives provided by the City for voluntary mitigation programs, but the LMS lists voluntary mitigation programs as an Objective to pursue. Steps Forward The City’s transfer of development rights program should be evaluated and updated if changes can be made that will increase use of the program. As part of the LMS, the City should explore the possibility of developing voluntary mitigation programs. These items are formulated into actions in this Plan. Prioritizing Areas to Focus Redevelopment (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Some jurisdictions that participated in the State’s PDRP Pilot Program chose to designate certain areas as “Priority Redevelopment Areas” or PRAs. The concept behind PRAs is that following a disaster, limited public funds should be focused on the Attachment number 3 \nPage 50 of 96
Item # 28
CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 4: ISSUES 43 redevelopment of important community centers. For example, Hillsborough County followed this approach and included several different categories of PRAs including Sustainable Regional PRA, Sustainable Community PRA, Vulnerable Location‐Dependent PRA and Vulnerable Established Community PRA. (This issue is related to “Enhanced Infrastructure Capacity to Priority Redevelopment Areas” issue in Infrastructure and Public Facilities section of this Chapter.) Clearwater Context The City has not identified any PRAs as of date. Steps Forward The City should consider identifying PRAs in future planning efforts and incorporating them into updates of this Plan. Historic Preservation and Restoration (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue Historic resources are valuable to communities because they build sense of place and foster community pride, so their loss following a disaster can be devastating. Historic structures may be particularly vulnerable to damage due to their age and repair can be complicated to navigate due to desire to maintain their character and historic designation. Clearwater Context The CDC contains provisions on Historic Preservation (Article 3, Division 10) and a process for designating structures as historic (Section 4‐607) but the City lacks a comprehensive plan for identifying, evaluating and protecting these resources. Steps Forward There are many issues unique to historic preservation and restoration that should be explored by the City in future planning efforts and incorporated into updates to this Plan. Reducing Disaster Vulnerability through Land Use and Development Regulations (Advanced Achievement Level) Description of Issue The easiest way to reduce vulnerability is by restricting rebuilding in hazardous locations and requiring mitigation where vulnerable redevelopment cannot be precluded. However, given the legal context for private property rights this is not easy to achieve. There are smaller steps communities can take like establishing special permit requirements, increased setbacks from hazard sources like a waterway, and hazard‐specific site design requirements. Clearwater Context Regulations, like setbacks, are currently outlined according to zoning district in the CDC. There are a few additional setback criteria that apply to waterfront properties, including provisions that protect certain water views from encroachment by structures and landscaping, in order to preserve sight visibility triangles (Section 3‐904) and establish that structures cannot be seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) (Section 3‐905). But there are no special setback requirements aimed at reducing disaster vulnerability or hazard‐specific site design requirements. However, the CDC is a flexible code with an existing framework that lends itself to future development of such provisions. Attachment number 3 \nPage 51 of 96

In summary, issues were assessed according to current plans, documents and practices within the City of Clearwater, including intergovernmental coordination. Then issues were assigned steps forward into one of three categories: (1) Adequately addressed; (2) Addressed by this Plan; and (3) Addressed in future planning efforts. Figure 7 summarizes the issues according to these three categories; issues in categories (1) and (3) will not be addressed in this Chapter or Plan. Issues in category (2) are included in the goals and strategies outlined below and the Action Plan included as Appendix C to this Plan. GOALS 1. Housing and Structural Repairs: Facilitate permissible reconstruction in a timely manner while decreasing the vulnerability of structures to future disasters. 2. Infrastructure and Public Facility Recovery: Restore utilities and repair infrastructure efficiently, while considering mitigation in long‐term redevelopment of infrastructure to ensure that public investments minimize future damage. 3. Environmental Restoration: Protect and enhance natural resources to mitigate future disasters. 4. Economic Resumption: Assist businesses in adequately preparing for a disaster and enhance their ability to recover from a disaster. 5. Land Use and Development: Facilitate redevelopment in a timely manner, while seizing opportunities for mitigation.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 55 CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN Clear communication of recovery and redevelopment information is an essential component in building a more disaster resilient Clearwater. Communication during the emergency response phase of the disaster cycle is addressed by the CEMP, so this Plan addresses issues in the pre‐disaster and long‐term recovery and redevelopment phases. The purpose of this chapter is to outline how the City of Clearwater will communicate long‐term recovery and redevelopment information to the public as well as how this information will be communicated internally. The first step in accomplishing this purpose is evaluating the City’s current capacity to communicate. PHOTOGRAPH 13: GEORGE ARMSTRONG, SEPTEMBER 4, 2008, TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA COMMUNICATIONS CAPACITY ASSESSMENT The following section outlines key leadership positions responsible for communicating information to the public and governmental agencies, as well as detailing outreach methods employed by those tasked with these leadership positions.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 56 External Communications The City’s Public Communications Department operates C‐VIEW TV, coordinates public and media relations, creates graphics, manages the City’s official Facebook and Twitter pages and produces numerous publications, including MyClearwater Magazine. The Department also coordinates the Clearwater 101 Citizen’s Academy, an interactive program that focuses on educating citizens about the City’s governmental processes. Public Information Officer (PIO) The City’s Public Information Officer (PIO) is the Director of the Public Communications Department or designee. The PIO is the lead in speaking with the media and coordinates media interviews with City staff as appropriate. During the initial response and short‐term recovery phases of the disaster cycle, the PIO is responsible for providing information to the public. Initially the PIO is assigned to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) where recovery operations begin. The PIO is part of a joint local, state, and federal effort to ensure sufficient public information and education is disseminated to affected citizens and entities concerning the recovery effort and state/federal assistance. Further details on public communications and the role of the PIO during the response and short‐term recovery phases are provided in the CEMP. Emergency Manager The City of Clearwater has a designated Emergency Manager that is the primary point of contact for regional, state and federal staff. The Emergency Manager is appointed by the City Manager and is the chair of the City’s Emergency Management Coordinating Committee, which is composed of the department director from each of the City’s departments. Current Outreach Methods The City currently uses a variety of public outreach methods, listed in Figure 8 and discussed in the following sections. Traditional: Mass Media (Television, Radio and Print) Television, radio and print news sources are major sources of news and information for residents. These media platforms have the ability to disseminate information to a large number of people in a timely manner. Although the online news audience continues to grow, traditional mass media is still an important tool to reach and communicate information to Clearwater residents. The City of Clearwater is included in the Tampa Bay media market and consists of multiple mainstream television and radio stations and newspapers (Table 4). The PIO uses various methods to reach news media organizations including Media Alert, email, email distribution lists and phone calls (Figure 8). Non‐Traditional: Online News According to recent studies, more people are choosing the Internet as their primary source for news. Traditional news media platforms have a vested interest in the growing trend of online news. Each of the Tampa Bay news organizations has a news website. The newest online trend includes news sites that focus on information and stories specific to cities and towns (e.g., Clearwater Patch). The benefits of online news sites include the ability to share information faster than traditional forms of mass media and a world‐wide reach without geographical boundaries.

The public is welcome to attend all City Council and advisory board meetings. The City of Clearwater complies with the Florida Sunshine Law requiring all board meetings provide “reasonable notice.” The City also complies with all noticing requirements per Florida Statutes and adheres to an additional set of noticing requirements outlined in Section 4‐206 of the CDC for any public hearing required within that Code. Section 4‐206.C.2.a. requires that all notices of public hearings “be provided by publication of a copy of the notice in one or more newspapers with general circulation in the City of Clearwater.” Multi‐Language Communication Clearwater’s diverse population is both an asset and a challenge, particularly when it comes to communicating and reaching residents whose primary language is not English. According to the 2010 Census, more than 14 percent of Clearwater’s population is of Hispanic or Latino origin. Some of those residents speak little to no English, so it is important to ensure these residents are just as informed as those with English as their primary language.

Those who provide their translations services include the City’s Hispanic Liaison, Hispanic Outreach Officer and other Spanish‐speaking city employees and volunteers. The City can also partner with the Hispanic Outreach Center to ensure clear communication to Spanish‐speaking members of the community. Intergovernmental Communication and Coordination City Council members and City staff are active participants on a number of regional boards and committees that coordinate issues across jurisdictional boundaries. These range from transportation and land use decisions to emergency management. Joint Information Center (JIC) During a major disaster, one or more Joint Information Centers (JIC) may be established by public affairs representatives from the state and federal government. The city will coordinate with state/federal JIC personnel to ensure uniformity of information released to the public. City Public Information Officers may need to operate out of JICs to ensure proper coordination between the city and county, state or federal agencies. The JIC will be responsible for public awareness and information on statewide and national levels. INCLUDING THE PUBLIC IN PDRP IMPLEMENTATION Successful implementation of the Action Plan requires effective communication both before the disaster and during long‐term recovery and redevelopment.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 59 Strategies in Chapter 5 of this Plan. Several actions detailed in Appendix C list the Public Communications Department as the lead entity or required collaborator (Figure 9). Pre‐Disaster Public Outreach Implementing the PDRP Action Plan There are several public outreach actions that need to be accomplished in the pre‐disaster phase of the disaster cycle. These include providing information to the public regarding mitigation programs, helping in a City‐led education effort to inform community members on the benefits of planting trees (outlined in Clearwater Greenprint), coordinating with the Chambers of Commerce in developing a media campaign designed to bring tourism back to the community after a disaster, and assisting with the development of materials to inform small businesses regarding disaster recovery. Although these actions are to take place pre‐disaster, they ensure the community is more successful in achieving long‐term recovery and redevelopment. A combination of the current outreach methods discussed in the Communications Capacity Assessment section of this Chapter can be used, including traditional and non‐traditional media and multi‐language communication. Post‐Disaster Public Outreach Implementing the PDRP Action Plan The importance of effective public communication assumes a more central role following a disaster. Particularly, the Public Communications Department will be poised to assist the Planning and Development Department in communicating to the public the new streamlined permitting procedures that will apply. The Public Communications Department will also provide assistance to FIGURE 10: ADDITIONAL OUTREACH METHODS Signage on city vehicles and city property Toll-free numbers for out-of-area residents (pre-recorded messages) Video on Demand on cable channels Flyer distribution by employees or volunteers at gathering areas (Points of Distribution, churches, active businesses, chambers, police and fire stations, post offices, housing facilities, social service locations, etc. FIGURE 9: PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT COLLABORATION ACTIONS Pre-Disaster Provide information to the public regarding mitigation programs outlined by the Floodplain Management Plan (FMP).

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 60 Pinellas County in their efforts to make the public more aware of employment opportunities (posting on City website and inclusion in City print publications of public and private sector employment opportunities) and actions that will ensure tourism returns, including the coordination of “back to business” media campaigns. To accomplish these actions the current outreach methods discussed in the Communications Capacity Assessment section of this Chapter can be used. The Role of the Public Information Officer The PIO will provide news briefs to the media during recovery operations and throughout redevelopment activities. The PIO or designated Public Communications staff members will use the City’s website and social media platforms to disseminate recovery and redevelopment information to citizens. At the discretion of the PIO, additional outreach methods may also be used based on availability and effectiveness in achieving the goals of this Plan (Figure 10). The Role of Social Media Hurricane Sandy, a destructive tropical cyclone that hit the coast of the Northeastern U.S. in October 2012, marked a shift for social media use in disasters.20 Social media will play a significant role in immediate dissemination of information about disasters without reliance on traditional news media. Social media also allows out‐of‐area people to get information regarding the situation and family and friends, without the filter of traditional news platforms. This affords the City the unique opportunity to tell its own story as the community transitions from short‐term recovery 20Cohen, Sara Estes (2013, March 7). Sandy Marked a Shift for Social Media Use in Disasters. Emergency Management. http://www.emergencymgmt.com/disaster/Sandy‐Social‐Media‐Use‐in‐Disasters.html to long‐term recovery and redevelopment. A regional, state and national audience can stay informed of positive “back to business” developments in the community as they take place in real time. Social media can also serve as an informal dialogue between residents and their government. Public Meetings Residents should be encouraged and empowered to take an active role in the post‐disaster decision making process. This includes participation at City Council meetings and other public meetings following a disaster (see Table 6 for complete listing of advisory boards). Depending on the scale of the disaster and extent of damage to the community, there may be a need to hold community meetings in neighborhoods most severely impacted, to ensure elected officials and community residents share a common vision of how to achieve long‐term recovery and redevelopment. The City should not hesitate to seize these opportunities which will cultivate an atmosphere of trust between the public and elected officials. The ability of the public to participate in decisions that guide redevelopment activities increases the likelihood that the public will accept and support elected officials that are ultimately responsible for making the tough decisions.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 61 During post‐disaster recovery and redevelopment, it may take a greater effort for local government actions to be transparent due to factors including changes in typical methods of communication, displaced residents and focus on more immediate post‐disaster concerns like reoccupation of homes and returning to employment. To overcome this challenge the City can try a variety of additional outreach methods to facilitate public meetings (see Figure 11). INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS IN PDRP IMPLEMENTATION As City staff transitions from the NIMS structure outlined in the CEMP to the long‐term recovery and redevelopment actions outlined in this Plan, City Department directors will communicate the status of action implementation to the Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Steering Committee, which is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of this Plan. The Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Steering Committee is discussed in the following chapter. FIGURE 11: ADDITIONAL OUTREACH METHODS TO FACILITATE PUBLIC MEETINGS Expansion of Public Meeting Notices to Non-Traditional Formats In addition to noticing public meetings in print newspapers, as required by the CDC, provide notice of public meetings in a variety of other formats including the City’s website and social media Mobile Community Listening Sessions In severely impacted neighborhoods, hold mobile community listening sessions, which can serve to identify common recovery and redevelopment themes and issues that can be addressed by City staff and elected officials Use of New or Emerging Technology Podcasts, blogs, live chat with government officials E-Town Hall Meetings Granicus online forum Attachment number 3 \nPage 69 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 7: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE 63 CHAPTER 7: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The Action Plan will be implemented during three phases of the disaster cycle, including pre‐disaster, short‐term recovery (1‐90 days) and long‐term recovery and redevelopment (4 months to 2 years or more). Pre‐disaster actions that are completed by staff may be removed from Appendix C: Action Plan in updates to this Plan and placed in Appendix D: Accomplished Pre‐Disaster Actions. Tables 7 and 8 divide the pre‐disaster actions from Appendix C into two timeframes: short term implementation (0‐3 years) and medium term implementation (4‐6 years). Short term implementation actions are those that may take little staff time and resources to accomplish. Medium term implementation actions are those that may take more staff time and resources to accomplish. Some pre‐disaster actions are coordinated through Pinellas County or the Chambers of Commerce; therefore they are not included in Tables 7 and 8. City staff should participate and coordinate with Pinellas County and the Chambers of Commerce as they implement those actions (listed in Figure 12). Tables 7 and 8 will also need to be updated as pre‐disaster actions that are accomplished are moved from Appendix C to Appendix D. Actions that apply to the short‐term recovery or long‐term recovery and redevelopment phases need to be implemented each time a disaster is declared and damage occurs. Depending on the type and severity of the disaster some actions may not be applicable. It is the purview of the City Council, in conjunction with City staff, to determine which actions do and do not apply following a disaster and to commence with implementation. FIGURE 12: PRE‐DISASTER ACTIONS COORDINATED THROUGH PINELLAS COUNTY OR THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE Assist Pinellas County with implementation of strategies related to disaster housing outlined in its PDRP’s Land Use, Housing and Mitigation Action Plan. (Goal 1, Strategy 5, Action 5) Assist Pinellas County with implementation of Appendix 4 of the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS).

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN CHAPTER 7: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE 65 Following a disaster the Mayor, Vice‐Mayor, City Manager and Assistant City Managers (in that order) have the authority to declare a state of emergency by proclamation (Code of Ordinances, Section 15.07 (1)). After a state of emergency has been made by the appropriate authority and tasks typical of the emergency response phase have been completed (e.g., saving lives and providing immediate assistance), the City Manager may authorize activation of the Post‐Disaster Redevelopment Steering Committee to review and implement actions from Appendix C as needed. The Committee will consist of the current members of the Senior Executive Team (SET), which consists of directors and managers of the various departments and divisions within the City. The mission of the Committee is to: Implement Appendix C: Action Plan, as appropriate Coordinate City staff and resources in contribution to the countywide PDRP efforts led by Pinellas County Figure 13 depicts the organization and roles in activating the Action Plan. PLAN MAINTENANCE An annual review will be conducted for benchmarking the status of actions designed to take place pre‐disaster. Every five years the plan will be reviewed and revisions made if deemed necessary. Actions outlined in Chapter 5 as “Addressed in Future Planning Efforts” will be considered for inclusion in this Plan during the five‐year review and revision process. Review and revision may also be necessary following a major or catastrophic disaster to identify new challenges and opportunities. Attachment number 3 \nPage 73 of 96

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN APPENDIX B: RESOURCES FOR FUTURE VULNERABILITY ANALYSES 69 APPENDIX B – RESOURCES FOR FUTURE VULNERABILITY ANALYSESThis Appendix is to serve as an aid for City staff in the development of future vulnerability analyses, listed in Table 2 of this Plan. Some of this information may also be available to the general public (e.g., sources on the internet) while others may not (e.g., City purchased software programs). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an essential tool in pursuing any analysis of vulnerability. For that reason it is included in the Summary Table and Detailed Information of this appendix, although it should be understood that GIS is different than the other programs and data discussed in that it is a place to store and manipulate imported data, as well as having the ability to create new data within the program.

CITY OF CLEARWATER POST‐DISASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN APPENDIX B: RESOURCES FOR FUTURE VULNERABILITY ANALYSES 70 Detailed Information HAZUS‐MH SOFTWARE WHO U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency. WHAT Hazus is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. Hazus uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters. It graphically illustrates the limits of identified high-risk locations due to earthquake, hurricane, and floods. Users can then visualize the spatial relationships between populations and other more permanently fixed geographic assets or resources for the specific hazard being modeled. WHERE The software is available from the FEMA website (http://www.fema.gov/hazus). The City’s Information and Technology Department also has the software which can be installed on computers at the request of staff. WHY Useful for a disaster scenario vulnerability analysis which can show potential structural and economic losses from a hurricane event. CITY OF CLEARWATER GIS WHO The City of Clearwater. WHAT A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system that captures and stores geographical data that can then be manipulated, analyzed and managed to create maps. One of the largest and most common GIS software suppliers is Esri; which the City currently uses. Available data is stored as layers and tables in the City’s GIS servers which can be used to create maps or analyze data. The City creates and maintains some GIS layers (e.g., location of City operated infrastructure) as well as obtains GIS data from county, state or federal government agencies. The GIS data is maintained on various schedules, depending on the type of data, including daily, weekly, monthly and yearly or as it becomes available as in the case of aerial photography. The Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s Office data contains parcel level data for fields such as year built and just market value. These could prove valuable in several vulnerability analyses. Layers obtained from the Federal government that can be useful in conducting vulnerability analyses include Census Bureau and FEMA data. WHERE To access the City’s GIS server and create maps, Esri’s ArcMap must be installed on your computer by the Information Technology Department. WHY Useful/needed for virtually every type of vulnerability analysis. Attachment number 3 \nPage 78 of 96

WHAT The City’s Planning & Development Department uses an address and parcel based software application called Accela Automation, from which inquires can be made and matched with GIS to understand the data spatially. Some of the types of data entered in the system that could be extracted include building permits, business tax receipts, code enforcement cases, unsafe housing cases and planning cases. WHERE Basic querying of the database can be done with MS Access by Planning & Development Department staff or the Information Technology Department staff can provide more detailed queries using SQL (Structured Query Language). WHY Useful for several vulnerability analyses including those involving nonconforming structures and uses, and identifying where business are located within the City. MPO DATA WHO Pinellas County MPO. WHAT The Pinellas County MPO has shareable data that was used in updating the Long-Range Transportation Plan. This includes the identification of socially and economically vulnerable populations within the County. The MPO used Census tract-level data to identify tracts containing above a certain percentage threshold of minority or below poverty level populations. WHERE The data received from MPO staff on December 21, 2012 via e-mail can be found on the Planning & Development Department’s share drive here. WHY Useful for the Social Vulnerability analysis as the MPO has already sorted the data. However, depending on when City staff is able to perform this analysis, staff may want to obtain tract-level data directly from the Census if too much time has passed and the MPO data is outdated. TBRPC DATA WHO Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC). WHAT TBRPC has shareable coastal high hazard data. WHERE The data received from TBRPC staff on December 6, 2012 via e-mail can be found on the Planning & Development Department’s share drive here. The City’s Information Technology Department also maintains a GIS layer that contains coastal storm area data from 2008 (when connected to the City’s GIS database, add layer by navigating to “Planning_Boundaries”, then to “Coastal_Storm_Area”). WHY Essential in any vulnerability analysis that requires identification of properties that are vulnerable to storm surge from hurricanes. Attachment number 3 \nPage 79 of 96

WHAT PCPAO has publically available parcel level data detailing values, taxes and information on structures including square footage, year built, number of stories and other factors. WHERE The PCPAO shares this data as requested. The City also performs updates of the parcel layer within the GIS database as updates are made available. The parcel layer contains approximately 112 data fields. WHY Useful in any vulnerability analysis that examines data at the parcel level. CENSUS DATA WHO U.S. Census Bureau. WHAT The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a decennial census as required by the U.S. Constitution that includes basic demographic data (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity). It also conducts the ACS which is sent out to approximately 3 million U.S. households per year and gathers much more extensive data (e.g., socio-economic, housing). The Census Bureau has three geographies which are delineated according to population thresholds to collect data: block (approximate population of 0 to several hundred people), block group (approximate population of 600 to 3,000 people) and tract (approximate population of 1,500 to 8,000 people). The decennial census includes block, block group and tract level data; the ACS 5-year data is available in the tract and block group levels, but not block level. ACS 1 and 3-year data is only available in larger population thresholds (65,000 and 20,000, respectively). WHERE The Census Bureau’s extensive data sets can be accessed on its website here: http://www.census.gov/main/www/access.html. WHY Useful in any vulnerability analysis that looks at population distribution. Especially helpful in examining social vulnerability. FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILE WHO Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources. WHAT The State of Florida compiles historical and cultural resources into an official inventory known as the Master Site File. There are five categories of resources tracked: archeological sites, historical structures, historical cemeteries, historical bridges and historic districts. The Site File currently holds information on more than 190,000 cultural resources and copies of over 19,000 manuscripts. WHERE Further information is available on the website here: http://www.flheritage.com/preservation/sitefile/. The current email and phone number contact is listed as SiteFile@dos.state.fl.us and (850) 245-6440. WHY Useful in the Historic Preservation vulnerability analysis.

City Council Agenda
Council Chambers - City Hall
Meeting Date:6/19/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Clearwater Marine Aquarium's (CMA) request to subordinate the City’s reverter interest in a portion of the CMA
property to a $10 million term loan and modify the existing reverter provision to reflect same, and authorize appropriate officials to
execute same.
SUMMARY:
The Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) submitted a letter to the city manager requesting Council approval of a subordination
agreement in favor of BB&T as mortgage lender to CMA. The letter and exhibits are attached.
In 2010, CMA requested modification to the city reverter on a portion of the CMA property on Island Estates. The city agreed to
subordinate its reverter interest to up to $8.6 million dollar loan. The current out standing balance on that loan is $4,606,455 with
an amount remaining to be drawn of $232,724.
In return for the City’s subordination, BB&T will provide the City with the right of first refusal to acquire its first mortgage
position and/or title, if applicable, to Parcels 1, 2 and 3, should the City elect to exercise its reverter rights by paying off the
existing indebtedness in the event of the Aquarium’s default or demise.
The subordination agreement included provisions preventing additional loans secured by these parcels and included prohibitions
on the replenishment of the debt as the outstanding balance was paid down, absent City approval. That provision is not included in
the current proposed agreement.
The City will have no obligation to purchase the mortgage, nor is the City guaranteeing any debt.
Should the Aquarium fail and/or default on the outstanding indebtedness, and BB&T pursues its mortgage rights, the City would
have the option to either obtain control of the entire CMA campus (all Parcels) in return for payment of the then existing debt
balance, or waive this option, with BB&T then able to proceed with foreclosure on the Parcels.

A. City executed a Deed of Conveyance (the "Deed") dated September 12, 1986, to
Owner granting and conveying the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property") to

G. The Deed contains certain reversionary rights, restrictions and other limitations. The
Bank has requested the Deed be modified. The City and Owner have executed and recorded the [Deed
Modification Agreement] (the “Deed Modification”) dated [_________], 2013 in the Public Records of
Pinellas County in O.R. Book _______, Page _______ pursuant to which certain modifications have been
made to the reversionary rights, restrictions and limitations of the Deed. As used herein, the reversionary
rights, restrictions and limitations in the Deed, as modified by the Deed Modification, are herein referred
to as the “Restrictions and Limitations”.
H. It is a condition to Bank providing the taxable loan evidenced by the Term Note to
Owner and it is a condition to Bank agreeing to provide any additional financing to Owner in the future
that the Bank have a lien on, in addition to other collateral, the Property and that such lien shall at all
times be prior and senior to the Restrictions and Limitations.
I. The Bond, the Guaranty Agreement, the Related Documents (as defined in the Guaranty
Agreement), the Loan Agreement, the Term Note, the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) and any other document related to and evidencing any indebtedness owed by the Owner to
the Bank are referred to herein as the "Secured Obligations".
Agreement
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. City hereby subordinates in favor of Bank the Restrictions and Limitations and does
hereby expressly acknowledge the priority of the liens and security interests of any mortgage given to
secure the Secured Obligations (including the 2010 Bank Security Instrument, the “Bank Security
Instruments”) over the Restrictions and Limitations and further agrees that the liens and security interests
of the Bank Security Instruments shall unconditionally be and remain at all times a lien or charge on the
Property prior and superior to the Restrictions and Limitations.
2. City understands that Bank would not make the Term Loan, advance proceeds of the
Term Loan to or for the benefit of the Owner or enter into the Secured Obligations without this Agreement
and that Bank is taking such actions in reliance upon, and in consideration of, the subordination and
agreements provided in this Agreement.
3. City agrees and acknowledges that the recording of the Bank Security Instruments
and the Secured Obligations do not and will not cause a default or violation on the part of the Owner
under the Deed. City consents to the execution, delivery and performance by the Owner of the Bank
Security Instruments and the grant of the liens and security interests under the Bank Security Instruments
to secure the Secured Obligations, as the same may be amended from time to time.
4. The Owner agrees to use the proceeds of the Secured Obligations to benefit the real
property and improvements owned by the Owner, including the Property and for other financing needs of
the Owner.. City agrees and acknowledges that Bank, in making disbursements of the proceeds of the
Secured Obligations, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Bank represented that it will, see to the
application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Bank disburses such proceeds and any
application or use of such proceeds shall not defeat the subordination herein made in whole or in part.
5. City shall give Bank notice of any default by Owner under the Deed at the time such
notice is given to Owner, and agrees to deliver to Bank copies of all further notices to Owner relating to
such default.
6. As long as the Secured Obligations are outstanding, City will not take any action to
enforce the Restrictions and Limitations on the Property against the Bank or its successors and assigns,
and the City will not sell or otherwise transfer its reversionary interest in the Property. The Restrictions
and Limitations shall continue in effect and be binding on the Owner and, in the event of a default by the
Owner under the Restrictions and Limitations, the City may enforce its remedies available against the
Owner for such default; provided that (x) the exercise of any such remedies shall be subject and
Attachment number 2 \nPage 2 of 7
Item # 29

CHAR1\1315424v1
subordinate to the Secured Obligations and the Bank Security Instruments and (y) the reversionary rights
of the City shall be further subject to the following: the reversionary rights of the City shall not be effective
in any manner unless (i) the City has repaid or caused to be repaid the outstanding principal, interest and
other amounts owing to the Bank by the Owner under the Secured Obligations or (ii) the Bank has
consented in writing to the reversion of the Property to the City, such written consent to be effective when
recorded in the Public Records of Pinellas County in which the Deed is recorded.
7. Bank shall have the exclusive right to collect, foreclose upon, sell, transfer, liquidate or
otherwise dispose of any and all collateral for the Secured Obligations, including the Property, in the
manner deemed appropriate by Bank. City will not hinder Bank’s actions in enforcing its remedies with
respect to such collateral. The City agrees that in the event of any foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure in connection with realization on the Property under the Bank Security Instruments, the
transferee of the Property shall take title to the Property free and clear of the Restrictions and Limitations.
8. Notwithstanding the above, in the event (i) a default by the Owner or its successors
and assigns occurs under a Bank Security Instrument which is not waived or cured to the satisfaction of
the Bank and (ii) following such default the Bank determines to commence action to foreclose on the
Property under a Bank Security Instrument or to request a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the Owner,
then the Bank shall provide the City with written notice of its determination to commence such action or
make such request (such notice a “Default Notice”). The City shall, for a period of sixty (60) days
following the date of delivery of the Default Notice, have the right to either (1) acquire from Bank or its
successors and assigns all of the Bank’s right, title and interest in the Secured Obligations at a purchase
price equal to the outstanding balance of principal, interest and other amounts due under the Secured
Obligations on the date of such acquisition or (2) receive a deed in lieu of foreclosure from the Owner
(which the Owner, at the direction of the Bank, agrees to provide) upon payment by the City to the Bank
of a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of principal, interest and other amounts due under
the Secured Obligations on the date of such deed in lieu of foreclosure to be applied against such
indebtedness. The rights of the City under this Section 8 shall terminate on the date sixty (60) days
following the delivery to the City of the Default Notice.
9. The Owner agrees that, without the prior written consent of the City, it will not grant
any other liens or encumbrances secured by the Property, other than the Bank Security Instruments. The
Bank agrees that no more than $14,839,179 in principal will be advanced under the Secured Obligations
at any one time (provided that, after a default under the Secured Obligations, the Bank may advance
additional amounts necessary to protect and preserve the Property as provided by the Secured
Obligations). The City agrees that amounts repaid by the Owner on the Secured Obligations may be re-
advanced or re-Ioaned by the Bank to the Owner without the City’s consent or approval.
10. City acknowledges that this Agreement shall extend to and benefit the successors,
assigns and transferees of Bank.
11. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement.
