To amend the Zoning Atlas designation from OS/R, Open Space/Recreation category to
the Institutional (I) category.
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.
Properry 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 Open
Space/Recreation (OS/R) Zoning 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.
Although no development plans have been submitted, it is proposed
that the library will be a 22,000 square foot one-story building. The
perimeter landscaping on the parcel is mature and should not be
disturbed during construction; this will help ensure adequate
screening from adjacent neighborhoods.

Request:
The request is to change the property's Zoning Atlas
designation from the Open Space/Recreation (OS/R)
category to the Institutional (I) category. A request for
a Future Land Use Map designation change from
Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) to Institutional (I) is
being processed concurrently with this case (see
LUP2013-08005). 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.
Vicinity Characteristics:
The subject property is located entirely within the
City's existing Countryside Recreation Center
property which is currently zoned Open
Space/Recreation (OS/R). 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 owned 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
parcel abuts a Zoning classification of Open
Space/Recreation (OS/R). However, when considering
the recreation center property as a whole, the abutting
zoning classification to the east and the south is
Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) to the north.
The property abuts a Zoning classification of
Institutional (I) and Agricultural Estate Residential
(A-E) (Pinellas County) to the west (see Figure 1
below).
A complete listing of the surrounding uses, Future
Land Use Map designations and Zoning Atlas
designations are shown in Table 1.

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
Institutional (I) category would allow the City of Clearwater to utilize the City's current property
holdings to build a library which would provide better access to recreation and educational
services to nearby 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).
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 and multifamily homes, recreation/open space
property owned by the City, and a transportation/utility easement. The Zoning Atlas designations
of surrounding properties include Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), Medium Density
Residential (MDR), Agricultural Estate Residential (A-E) (Pinellas County), and Institutional (I).
The intent of the proposed Institutional (I) District is to establish areas where public and private
organizations can establish and operate institutions with a public interest in support of the quality
of life of the citizens of the City of Clearwater 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 of
Clearwater.
The proposed Zoning Atlas designation will allow infill development of the subject property to
take place. A library is a governmental use which is allowed in the Institutional (I) district and
will serve to increase the quality of life of neighboring residential areas by providing cultural,
educational, and technology services to the community.
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. 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 classification would increase the amount of development potential allowed on the site (see
Table 3).

The Trip Generation Comparison by Zoning Atlas Designation in Table 5 below indicates the
estimated trip generation for- specific uses allowed in the current and proposed zoning districts
based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation 9`h Edition. The table
shows an increase of 97 PM Peak Trips when comparing the existing underlying use to the
proposed development size of the library under the proposed Future Land Use classification. It
should be noted that while the underlying Future Land Use classification of Recreation/Open
Space (R/OS) was used to determine the existing maximum FAR of the 2.13 acre subject
property, the parcel is currently vacant, consisting of trees, landscaping, and a portion of a paved
parking lot. However, under the current Future Land Use classification additional development
potential exists beyond what is currently constructed. Therefore, the analysis compares the
maximum development potential of the existing Future Land Use and Zoning classifications to

3. Total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) permitted by the underlying Recreation/Open Space (R/OS) Future Land Use Map category
is 0.25.
4. Total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) permitted by the proposed Institutional (I) Future Land Use Map category is 0.65 which
would allow a maacimum of 60,308 SF; however, the proposed library is 22,000 SF so for the purposes of this analysis, this
number was used.
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 maximum demand 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 proposed
boundaries of the new Countryside Library, as determined by the City's Engineering
Department. The proposed Institutional (I) District is compatible with the single family
residential use to the north, the multifamily use to the east and south, and transportation/utility
easement use and institutional use to the west.
Recommended Conclusions of Law:
The district boundaries are appropriately drawn in regard to location and classifications of
existing improvements and the natural environment.

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan and furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code and other City
ordinances and actions designed to implement 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 consolidates 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 zone) 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
adjacent residential properties.
2. The available uses to which the property may be put are appropriate to the property which is subject to
the proposed amendment 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. As libraries enhance residential neighborhoods, this Institutional use
is compatible with the mix of uses in the area (mostly residential).
The site is currently zoned as Open Space/Recreation. The amendment will leave the site as approximately 90%
Open Space/Recreation with 10% zoned as Institutional (Government) for the library.
3. The amendment does not conflict with the needs and character of the neighborhood and city.
This amendment does not conflict with the needs and character of the residential neighborhood and city because
this Institutional use is compatible with the mix of uses in the area (mostly residential). By integrating the library
more closely within the neighborhood, the residents will have more accessibility to it than the current library
location.
4. The amendment will not adversely or unreasonably affect the use of other property in the area.
Planning & Development Department, 100 S. Myrtle Avenue, Clearwater, FL 33756, Tel: 727-562-4567; Fax: 727-562-4865
Page 4 of 6 Revised 03/12
Libraries are primarily used by residents. By locating the library within a residential area, recreation and
educational services will be more accessible and integrated within the neighborhood.
The building will be a 22,000 sf one story building. As the perimeter landscaping on the lot is mature and should
not be disturbed during construction, the neighborhoods should be adequately screened from the development.
Additionally, the library is well within the setbacks of the parcel that is being created within the Countryside
Recreation Center parcel and will not affect adjacent properties.
5. The amendment will not adversely burden public facilities, including the traffic-carrying capacities of
streets, in an unreasonably or disproportionate manner.
The property currently consists of the Countryside Recreation Center which has adequate water and sanitary
sewer services. The addition of the 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 results of the traffic impact analysis indicate that adequate access to the proposed Library can be provided
by the existing roadway system. Acceptable traffic conditions will occur at the unsignalized intersection of
Countryside Boulevard and Sabal Springs Road during the PM peak hours. No improvements are needed to
maintain Level of Service "D" or better conditions for all traffic movements at this location. Sight distance for
traffic stopping on Sabal Springs Drive is adequate at this location
Overall traffic conditions at the signalized intersection of Countryside Boulevard and SR 580 will continue at the
current acceptable Level of Service "D." Some movements will experience minor increases in delay while others
will experience decreases in delay. The current traffic actuated signal is coordinated with adjacent signals and is
capable of adjusting the timings to meet changing traffic flow.
6. The district boundaries are appropriately drawn with due regard to the locations and classifications of
streets, ownership lines, existing improvements and the natural environment.
The district boundaries are largely the same. The location of the library only will be re-zoned for the institutional
use. It will be a parcel within the parcel for the Countryside Recreation Center.
