ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.6 acre subject property is located on the east side of Mandalay Avenue roughly 425 feet north of the Causeway roundabout. It is within the Retail and Restaurant District of Beach by Design. The building was previously occupied by Capri Restaurant; however, it has been vacant since 2008. The existing building is 2,457 square feet with no off-street parking spaces. The surrounding neighborhood is a tourist area comprised of various retail sales and services, restaurants, and an overnight accommodation. The subject building is directly Mandalay Avenue from the Hilton Clearwater Beach Hotel property. The adjacent building to the north consists of a retail sales and service use (Celebrity), while located within the adjoining building to the south is a fast-food restaurant (Subway). City parking lot #34 is approximately 186 feet to the north of the subject parcel. Development Proposal: The development proposal is to demolish the existing structure and construct a 1,650 square foot building with a height of 17 feet (from existing grade) in its place. The new use within the building will be a retail sales and service use which at this time is to be a Harley Davidson retail store. The store will only sell motorcycle accessories and apparel, it will not sell motorcycles. The proposal includes front and side setback flexibility to allow the building to have a footprint similar to the existing and adjoining buildings. The rear setback of zero feet to concrete is necessary to allow for service access to the rear of the building. The requested flexibility to allow a front setback of zero feet will allow the building to maintain a unified streetscape and scale consistent with the adjoining buildings. The application also includes a reduction of the required foundation landscape area along Mandalay Avenue from five feet to zero feet.

The proposal includes brick stucco finish on the buildings front facade that will be painted a light beige color. There will be no visible building separation between the proposed building and adjoining buildings from Mandalay Avenue. The majority of the front facade will be transparent shop windows and doors to appeal to and maintain the street-level pedestrian-friendly experience that currently exists along this stretch of Mandalay Avenue. An industrial-style canopy will be located along the front fa�ade providing cover over the sidewalk. This style of canopy will provide a distinct storefront to drivers and pedestrians. Based on the west building elevation, the canopy will be eight feet in height and will align with the building eave of the adjacent property to the north. The development proposal's compliance with the various development standards of the Community Development Code (CDC) is discussed below. Development Parameters Floor Area Ratio (FAR): Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-801.1, the maximum floor area ratio for properties with a Future Land Use designation of Resort Facilities High (RFH) is 1.0. The proposed one-story building footprint produces a floor area ratio of 0.61, which is consistent with Code provisions. Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR� Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2- 801.1, the maximum allowable ISR for properties with a Future Land Use designation of RFH is 0.95. The proposed ISR is 0.95, which is consistent with Code provisions. Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum lot area requirement for Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2-802 and 2-803, the standard lot area for a retail sales and service use may range between 5,000 - 10,000 square feet of area. The subject property has a lot area 2,705 square feet. Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum lot width requirement for Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2- 802 and 2-803, the standard lot width for a retail sales and service use may range between 50 — 100 feet. The subject property has a lot width of 25 feet along Mandalay Avenue of 50 feet. It is noted that these lot area/widths that would otherwise be required are typical for properties that would need to provide off-street parking in addition to a building. As no parking is required for a retail sales and services use in this character district (see below), a lesser lot area/width is appropriate and supportable. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum setback requirement for Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2-802 and 2-803, the standard setbacks for a retail sales and service use is a front setback may range between 0- 15 feet; side setbacks may range between 0- 10 feet; and rear setbacks may range between 10 - 20 feet. The development proposal includes a front (west) setback of zero feet (to building), a side (south) setback of 1.5 feet (to building), and a side (north) setback of 1.5 feet (to building). All of these setbacks are within the acceptable range, Community Development Board — November 19, 2013 FLD2013-08030 — Page 2 � Cl�[al �1'LiLel Leve� II Flexible Develo ment A lication Review FLANNING&DEVELOPMENT p Pp DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DMSION � ��.R. respectively, therefore, the proposed setbacks are consistent with the Code provisions. The rear (east) setback of zero feet (to concrete) is necessary to accommodate a dry pond and service access to the rear of the building. Staff supports the requested setback flexibility. Maximum Buildin�Hei h�t�. Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no maximum allowable height for Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Section 2-802 and 2-803, the height of a building for a retail sales and service use may range between 35 — 100 feet. The proposed building is 17 feet (to top of flat roo�, which is consistent with Code provisions. Minimum Off-Street Parkin�: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, because the subject property is located within the boundaries of the Retail/Restaurant District in Beach by Design, no off-street parking spaces are required. Mechanical Equipment: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-903.I.1, mechanical equipment sha11 be screened from any public right-of-way and adjacent properties. The site plan shows mechanical equipment to be located ground-level on the east side of the building. This equipment will be visible from adjacent properties and from Poinsettia Avenue. The site plan shows that the equipment will be screened; however, the screening of inechanical equipment will be addressed at time of permitting. Utilities: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-912, for development that does not involve a subdivision, all utilities, including individual distribution lines, must be installed underground unless such undergrounding is not practicable. If utilities are located exterior to the building, to ensure views are minimized, this equipment should be painted the same color as the building. The location and potential views of such equipment will be addressed at the building permit stage. Landscaping_ Pursuant to Section 3-1202.D, CDC, there are no perimeter buffers required in the T District; however, pursuant to Section 3-1202.E.2., CDC, foundation plantings are required for 100 percent of a building fa�ade with frontage along a right-of-way, excluding space necessary for building ingress and egress. The development proposal does not include the provision of this foundation planting in order to maintain the unified appearance that currently exists along this section of Mandalay Avenue where the buildings typically abut the front property line. Given the relatively small frontage of this property, the location of buildings in the area respective to their front property line, the lack of foundation plantings along the fa�ades of other buildings in the area, and that similar requests have been supported in the past, staff supports the elimination of the otherwise required foundation planting area. Solid Waste: The trash and recycling will be a part of an existing community dumpster. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste Department. Si�na� No freestanding or attached signage is proposed at this time. Any proposed attached or freestanding signage not meeting minimum Code requirements must be approved through a Comprehensive Sign Program. Fences/Walls: The site plan depicts the installation of a new six-foot high chainlink fence around the dry pond at the rear of the property. Chainlink fences in rear yard area are permitted to a height of six-feet if clad with green or black vinyl. In addition, the fence must be landscaped with a continuous hedge or a nondeciduous robust growing vine at frequent intervals from Community Development Board — November 19, 2013 FLD2013-08030 — Page 3 � Cl�i~l 1`!'�l��l Level II Flexibie Develo mentA lication Review PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT p pp DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION � ��,� . adjacent properties. The proposed fence will need to meet the above requirements, and will be reviewed for compliance at time of building permit. Additional Beach bv Desi�n Guidelines: Section C.1: requires buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet to be constructed so that no more than two of the three building dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. As the proposed building footprint is approximately 2,705 square feet this requirement does not need to be met. Section C.2: requires no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater than 100 feet without an offset of more than five feet. As all facades of the building are less than 100 feet in length, this requirement does not need to be met. Section C.3: requires at least 60 percent of any elevation to be covered with windows or architectural decoration. The elevation along Mandalay Avenue contains windows, a door and an industrial—style aluminum canopy along the entire building elevation. The north and south elevations will be 1.5 feet from adjacent buildings where the visibility of the elevations is limited or hindered, and axchitectural decoration is not practical. The east elevation of the building and property will be used for service and deliveries and consists of inechanical equipment, access to rooftop by ladder, and service entry door. It would be impractical to require windows or architectural decoration on the east facade. It shall be required that the east fa�ade brick and stucco be finished the same as the front west fa�ade and that all equipment boxes are similarly painted as the building. Section C.4: requires that no more than 60 percent of the theoretical m�imum building envelope located above 45 feet be occupied by a building. As the maximum height of the development proposal is 17 feet to top of flat roof, this guideline is not applicable. Code Enforcement Analysis: There are no outstanding Code Enforcement issues associated with the subject property.

Keener 1514'h East 8th Avenue Tampa, FL 33605 October 10, 2013 RE: CDB submittal: Beach by Design Response To whom it may concern: "Retail and Restaurant District A key element of any successful resort destination is a vital retail and restauranf district. Given fraffic considerations for North Mandalay, Beach by Design contemplates that North Mandalay will be an attractive streef, but will have limited function as a two-sided "refail street."As a result, Beach by Design contemplates that the land area between North Mandalay and Poinsettia will become a retail/restaurant district in contrast to North Mandalay becoming a great retail street. Several uses including Pelican Walk, Heilemans and Eckerds front on both North Mandalay and Poinsettia, providing for an efficient and functional land use pattern. A key element of the Retail and Restaurant District strategy is the construction of a parking garage which will provide convenient parking to the District." 1. To ensure aesthetically pleasing architecture in a tropical vernacular The proposed design is comprised of mostly storefront glass complimenting the pedestrian nature of the area. We have brought in a light-colored painted stucco to create a tropical feel that should fit in with the other buildings within the district. 2. To create inviting, human scale "places" at the street level of all buildings The scale of the building is relative to the height of the buildings to the North and South. It is a one-story structure that is in scale. The glass storefront and the motorcycle display will invite pedestrians into the space. 3. To promote an integration of form and function The building is simple and keeps within the Harley Davidson branding while also serving the needs of a retail establishment and improves the general curb appeal of the district. 4. To creafe a sense of a`beach community neighborhood" throughout Clearwater Beach Our Building cleans up what is an abandoned older building and will fill a void in the businesses that are currently on site. We hope that the interest in the establishment will invite shoppers to the neighboring businesses. 5. To use landscape material to differentiate Clearwater Beach from other beach areas and intensely developed places in Pinellas County Our building does not incorporate landscaping. 6. To landscape all surface parking areas so that the view of such parking facilities from public roads, sidewalks and other places is determined by landscape material instead of asphalf No parking is required at our particular location. 7. To ensure that the street level of all buildings is pedestrian friendly The scale, storefront, and display of the building appeals to pedestrians and improves a vacant building that is currently occupying the site. We feel strongly that a new, well constructed building will improve the experience for all visitors. Sincerely, John L. Keener Architect LEED AP, AIA 2 �— ��rr�r,r, '� �t,��rirri•:��rz�rzF: John L.
