Applicant / Owner ............. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT January 21, 2014 E.4. LUP2013-08005 To amend the present Future Land Use Map designation from Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) to Institutional (I). Barbara Pickell, Director, Clearwater Library Services City of Clearwater Location ... ........................ 2650 Sabal Springs Drive, located at the end of Sabal Springs Drive, 0.2 miles west of Countryside Boulevard Property Size .................... 2.13 acres ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: This case involves a 2.13 acre property, located at the end of Sabal Springs Drive, 0.2 miles west of Countryside Boulevard. The site, owned by the City of Clearwater, is located within the existing Countryside Recreation Center property. The Countryside Recreation Center offers the surrounding residential areas a number of civic services and amenities including a fitness center and gym, playground, picnic areas, basketball courts, and baseball/softball diamonds. The subject property is located just east of the existing recreation center building, and south of the existing property's outdoor recreational facilities. The City recently selected the subject property as a site for a newly constructed Countryside Library, and identified that the library would require 2.13 acres (or 10 percent) of the existing recreation center property. Libraries are a governmental use, which are not a permitted use in the Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) Future Land Use classification; therefore, an amendment to Institutional (I) is required in order to build a library to complement the services provided by the recreation center as well as to provide desirable services to adjacent residential areas. Request: The request is to change the property's Future Land Use Map designation from the Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) category to the Institutional (I) category. A request for a rezoning of the property from Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) to Institutional (I) is being processed concurrently with this case (see REZ2013-08004). The change is being requested in order for the City to consolidate its services and property holdings and build a 22,000 square foot library to serve the adjacent residential area and the City of Clearwater. h �}p�� i 40 �p'�.

To the north of the recreation center property are single family homes and to the east and south are multifamily homes. The recreation center is bounded on the west by a 175-foot wide utility easement oumed by Duke Energy, and a mobile home park, both of which are located within unincorporated Pinellas County. Since the parcel for the proposed library is located within the existing Countryside Recreation Center property, 100 percent of the perimeter property boundary of the subject property abuts a Future Land Use classification of Recreation/Open Space (R/OS). However, when considering the recreation center property as a whole, the abutting Future Land Use classification to the east is Residential Low Medium (RLM), with Residential Medium (RM) to the south and Residential Urban (RU) to the north. The property abuts a Future Land Use classification of TransportationlCJtility (T/U) to the west (see Figure 1 below).

Consistency with Community Development Code Standards F.1 The amendment will further implementation of the X Comprehensive Plan consistent with the goals, policies and objectives contained in the Plan. F.2 The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions X of the Comprehensive Plan. F.3 The available uses, if applicable, to which the property X may be put are appropriate to the property in question and compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. F.4 Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the X property. F.5 The amendment will not adversely affect the natural X environment. F.6 The amendment will not adversely impact the use of X property in the immediate area. 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 Finding,s 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 andlor 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 Library into the larger Countryside Recreation Center property is compatible with the mix of uses in the area and enables the City to create a joint use recreational and cultural facility at this site. When a site plan is submitted, the Community Development Code will be Community Development Board — January 21, 2014 LUP2013-08005- Page 4 of 8 ' C�l.l4� tl'�l��l Level III Com rehensive Plan Amendment A lication Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT p pp LONG RANGE DIVISION � �..._�.nr��✓'�� i'�,��'r�.?,s�§�'� �:^��."��. ;,,�� ..;, .. . used to ensure compatibility with the adjacent residential areas. 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. The subject property is located within the City's Countryside Recreation Center property (Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) Future Land Use Classification) which is located at the terminus of Sabal Springs Drive. The area contains a mix of residential uses in addition to the recreational opportunities provided by the City. Future use of the subject property as a public library is consistent with the purpose of the Institutional (I) future land use category and is compatible with the recreation center and surrounding properties and 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 and multifamily homes, parks and recreation facilities owned by the City, and a transportation/utility easement. The future land use designations of surrounding properties include Residential Urban (RU), Recreation/Open Space (R/OS), Residential Low Medium (RLM), Residential Medium (RM), and Transportation/iJtility (T/U). The proposed use of the subject property as a library 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 axea 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), Residential Low Medium (RLM) (10 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.50), Residential Medium (RM) (15 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.50), and Transportation/Utility (T/U) (FAR 0.70).

The proposed future land use designation will allow the development of institutional (governmental use) facilities at an intensity and scale that is consistent with existing recreational 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, and the proposed library will be a valuable asset to the community and serves to increase access across all segments of the population to media and technology that can be used to increase one's quality of life. 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 m�imum 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). Table 4.

GPD — Gallons per day. 3. Based on 4.0 acres of arkland er 1,000 ersons and 2.2 ersons er unit. As shown in Table 6 below, there is an increase in maximum daily trips associated with the request for amendment to the Institutional (I) Future Land Use designation; however, according to the calculations herein, this increase would not impact the operating level of service for Countryside Boulevard. Level of service standards are not calculated for Sabal Springs Drive because it is a low volume local road, therefore for the purposes of this analysis, the segment of Countryside Boulevard that travelers use to access Sabal Springs Drive was used. The change from the Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) classification to the Institutional (I) classification with a Municipal/Public Facilities use would have the potential to increase PM Peak Hour trips by 168 trips. The segment of Countryside Boulevard is currently operating at a Level of Service B, which is above the adopted roadway level of service standard. The increase in PM Peak Hour trips on the roadway will not decrease the level of service of this segment of Countryside Boulevard. Table 6.

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 Countryside Boulevard. There is an increase in demand for potable water and generation of wastewater and solid waste, but there is adequate capacity to accommodate the m�imum demand 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: The site has already been developed with a recreation center and ball felds and there is an existing paved parking lot which covers approximately 25 percent of the parcel. There is also a stand of several native trees on site including laurel oak, longleaf pine, and slash pine. Additionally, the site is located adjacent to wetlands and a natural freshwater lake with emergent aquatic vegetation according to the Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification. Recommended Conclusions of Law: Any proposed redevelopment is required to be compliant with the City's tree preservation, landscaping, and stormwater 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 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 Future Land Use Map amendment from the Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) classification to the Institutional (I) classifications.

The amendment will further implementation of the comprehensive plan consistent with the goals, policies and objectives contained in the plan. The amended use will enhance the use of the Recreation Center in the consolidation of City services. It promotes infill development by providing the surrounding suburban neighborhood with desirable services in close proximity with the recreation center. As per Section A.5.5 Promote high quality design standards that support Clearwater's image and contribute to its identity of the Future Land Use Plan, the proposed library will promote high quality design standards and will be in keeping with the City's image of unique libraries similar to the Main library in downtown Clearwater. The proposed integration of the library with the recreation center is compatible with the mix of uses in the area (mostly residential) and consotidates the City's property holdings into an appropriate future land use category. The site is currently zoned as Open Space/Recreation. Approximately 90% of the site will remain as Open Space/Recreation, with only 10% (approximate footprint of the library construction zonej zoned for Institutional/Governmental use. The re-zoned section of the Countryside Recreation parcel will be approximately 10% of the parcel. The parcel within the parcel will be no closer than 99 ft to the nearest parcel boundary for the Recreation Center and will be well within the required setback for the interior parcel. Therefore, the new library building should not affect the adlacent residential properties. 2. The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions of the comprehensive plan. The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions of the comprehensive plan as adding the Library to the location enhances the City's use of the site and provides an opportunity for enhanced recreation programs for the residents of Clearwater. The request is consistent with FLUE Goals A.2 and A.3. 3. The available uses, if applicable, to which the property may be put are appropriate to the property in question and compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. The library, while considered an institutional use, is appropriate to this site and is compatible with the existing and current land use of adjacent properties. 4. Sufficient public facilities are availab►e to serve the property. The property currently consists of the Countryside Recreation Center which has adequate water and sanitary sewer services. The addition ofthe Library should not require any upgrades to the existing water and sanitary sewer systems. If any additional pedestrian facilities are needed, then the City shall expand those facilities. The request is consistent with FLUE Goal A.4. Planning & Development Department, 100 S.

The long term vision for this project will not adversely affect the natural environment. The site has already been developed with a recreation center and ball fields. The development itself will be designed with no adverse impacts (stormwater, environmental, traffic) to adjacent properties. 6. The amendment will not adversely impact the use of property in the immediate area. The amendment will enhance existing properties as the main goals of the Clearwater Library System are to provide authoritative and timely information in support of daily living, occupational needs, educational pursuits, and intellectual curiosity. If the library hours are the same as the existing library hours, then they will be from 10 am to 7 pm on Monday- Thursday, closed on Friday, and from 12- 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The Recreation Center's hours are Monday — Friday, 7 am to 8:30 pm, Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm and closed on Sunday. The hours for both facilities could change once both facilities are open, though. Per current City codes, the library will require 4 parking spaces per 1,000 sf of building space. The 22,000 square foot library will require 88 parking spaces. The recreation center requires one parking space per 20,000 sf of lot area. At 22.7 acres, this means that the recreation center requires approximately 50 parking spaces. Between the two uses, 138 parking spaces are required. The as-builts of the property demonstrate that there are approximately 135 asphalt parking spaces plus 7 accessible asphalt parking spaces. There are approximately 206 additional grassed parking spaces. Google maps shows two accessible parking spaces near the ball fields. Planning & Development Department, 100 S.
