ANALYSIS:
Location and Existing Conditions:
The 4.87-acre subject property is located on the
south side of South Gulfview Boulevard,
between Hamden Drive and Bayway Boulevard
with 467 feet of frontage along South Gulf
Boulevard and 600 feet of frontage along the
Clearwater Pass. The property spans two
zoning districts including Tourist (T) and Open
Space/Recreation (OS/R) and one Future Land
Use Plan (FLUP) classification, Resort
Facilities High (RFH). The subject property is
also located within the South Beach/Clearwater
Pass District of Beach by Design. The portion
of the site within the T District is 3.908 acres
and landward of an existing seawall. The
remainder of the site is submerged land and
constitutes 0.962 acres. It should be noted that
the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL)
is shown on the submitted site plan and survey
as terminating just west of the west property
line. It should also be noted that only the
portion of the site within the T District is
considered with regard to development potential
such as Impervious Surface ratio (ISR), Gross
Floor Area (GFA) and density.
The property is not oriented due north/south and
for the sake of argument the property line along
South Gulfview Boulevard will be referred to in
this report as the north property line, the
waterfront side as south and the other two sides
as east and west.
The immediate area is characterized by a
variety of uses including overnight
accommodation, retail, outdoor recreation and
entertainment, restaurant and attached dwelling
uses. The 440 and 450 West attached dwelling
condominiums towers are located to the west of
the subject property and are 157 feet in height
(each tower). Shephard's is located to the east
of the site. The City's Beach Walk project has
been constructed transforming South Gulfview
Boulevard to the north of this site into a
winding beachside promenade with lush

landscaping, artistic touches and clear views to Clearwater's award-winning beach and the water
beyond.
The property is used as a 189-unit overnight accommodation use and has a valid Business Tax
Receipt (BTR-0024076). The hotel units are located within two buildings ranging between
seven and nine stories. These two buildings are located on the eastern two-thirds of the site. A
6,144 square-foot two story conference center is located at the southeast corner of the site.
Parking is provided via a mix of surface parking and structured, under-building parking. A
swimming pool and patio is located to the south of the western building. A landscape buffer
approximately three feet in width is provided along the north property line adjacent to South
Gulfview Boulevard. A public access easement with sidewalk runs along the west side of the
site. Access to the site is provided from South Gulfview Boulevard via three two-way driveways
with one centrally located and one each at the northeast and northwest corners of the site.
Site History:
➢ On January 18, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved, with 14
conditions, Case Nos. FLD2004-04025/TDR2004-09011 for the (1) Termination of Status of
Nonconformity for density to allow the continuation of an existing 289-room/unit hotel
(where 156 rooms/units were permitted at that time); (2) Flexible Development approval to
permit a mixed use (241-room/unit overnight accommodation use [including accessory
restaurant, retail sales and wave runner business], 38 attached dwellings, a restaurant and an
office use) with reductions to setbacks, an increase to building height and to permit direct
access to a major arterial street, as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project; and (3)
Transfer of Development Rights for two dwelling units from 850 Bayway Boulevard.
➢ On December 28, 2005, the Community Development Coordinator approved a minor
amendment to the approved site plan including a revised roof plan and architectural detailing,
modifications to the building elevations, re-routing of a sidewalk, modification to foundation
landscaping and the elimination of a second story covered walkway.
➢ On April 5, 2006, the Community Development Coordinator approved a minor amendment
to the approved site plan which converted 52 hotel units to 39 residential units where the
requisite number of parking spaces would be provided.
➢ On May 15, 2007, the CDB approved with four conditions Case No. FLD2007-03008 to
permit the addition of a 6,144 square-foot conference center as an accessory use to an
existing hotel as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the (then) provisions
of Section 2-803.C.
All required time frames set for each of the above site plan approvals have been met and are
considered vested. It is important to note that the Termination of Status of Nonconformity
(TSN) request for density and the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) run with the land
irrespective of the status of any associated site plan approvals. It should be noted that no
residential units were physically established on the property.

To summarize, in 2005 a Termination of Status of Nonconformity with regard to density (289
hotel units) was approved. That application also included a request to convert 48 hotel units to
36 dwelling units. The conversion rate of hotel units to dwelling units, at the time, was 0.75
residential units per one hotel unit based on a density of 40 hotel and 30 dwelling units per acre
(30 divided by 40). In 2006 a minor amendment was approved which converted an additiona152
hotel units to 39 dwelling units at the aforementioned conversion rate which brought the total
number of hotel units converted to dwelling units to 100 (48 plus 52). These 100 hotel units
converted, at the time, to 75 dwelling units (100 times 0.75). Since 2006 the permitted density
for hotel units increased from 40 units per acre to 50 while the density for dwelling units
remained the same. That means that the conversion rate of dwelling unit to hotel unit increased
from 1.33 dwelling units per hotel unit (40 divided by 30) to 1.67 (50 divided by 30). The
applicant is now converting those 75 dwelling units to 125 hotel units (75 times 1.67).
The tables below show how these conversions took place.

Development Proposal:
The proposal is to construct a new hotel building on the property bringing the total number of
overnight accommodation units to 314. The three existing buildings including the pool area will
remain untouched with their compliment of existing hotel units and variety of accessory uses
consistent with application FLD2004-04025 including convention center, support offices,
restaurant, retail sales and service and a wave runner business.
The primary change to the site will be the addition of a 10-story building 99.8 feet in height,
displacing the existing parking lot located on the western half of the site. The result will be that
nearly all required parking will be located under or within the proposed and existing buildings.
Setbacks are consistent with a Level One Flexible Standard Development review with front
(north) setbacks of 15 feet (to building), zero feet (to entry plaza paving) and three feet (to
parking), side (west) setbacks of 15 feet (to building) and zero feet (to existing public access

sidewalk), side (east) setbacks of 10 feet (to existing building) and zero feet (to existing parking
and dumpster enclosure) and a rear (south) setback of 106 feet (to building). The request
includes flexibility from the CDC to permit a height of 99.8 feet where 50 feet would otherwise
be permitted as part of a Level I Flexible Standard application.
The proposal maintains the three existing two-way driveways.
The proposal also includes eliminating the provision of canopy trees on site and fulfilling this
requirement through the provision of palm and understory trees as part of a Comprehensive
Landscape Program. The site will include extensive landscaping along the north, east and west
sides of the site as well as along the waterfront through the provision of a variety of plant
material including specimen medjool date palms, silver buttonwood, foxtail palms, oleander, bird
of paradise and ixora.

The total amount of commercial/accessory use square footage is 8,335 square feet which
constitutes approximately six percent of the gross floor area (139,950 square feet) of the
proposed building. The applicant has provided that the total amount of commercial/accessory
use square footage for the entire site (including the proposed building) is approximately 34,595
square feet which constitutes 11.5 percent of the total amount of floor area. It should be noted
that this figure may be slightly higher than it should be as the applicant has included some area
which Staff does not consider commercial/accessory. Staff generally does not include space
which is only accessible by guests and/or staff of the hotel such as exercise rooms or breakfast
buffet areas. Staff also does not include such features as lobbies, preparation/pre-function areas
and the like only considering those areas which could be used by the general public and could
realistically be considered as "parking demand generators".
The proposed hotel consists of a single tower just under 100 feet in height (all heights are
measured from BFE). Since no portion of the building exceeds 100 feet in height separation
requirements from other buildings greater than 100 feet in height as otherwise required by Beach
by Design do not apply. The materials and colors of the building will support its Mediterranean
Revival architectural style. The building will be painted four earth tones ranging from brownish-
gold to medium brown to shades of white. The building facades are broken up with a variety of
offsets, windows, balconies and rooflines. The proposed hotel design is compatible with the
surrounding uses and complements the existing buildings on site. It will be located
approximately 17 feet from the centrally-located building already on the site.
All parking for the hotel guests and employees is provided within the first five floors of the
building. Guest rooms begin on the third level. A total of 346 spaces are provided within the
building. An additiona161 spaces are provided elsewhere on the site either as surface parking or
under existing buildings bringing the total number of provided spaces to 407 or 1.29 parking
spaces per hotel room where 1.2 spaces is required.
The applicant anticipates the proposed hotel will create approximately 100 to 150 new jobs.
The proposal maintains the existing 10 foot wide sidewalk which extends along the north side of
the site. This sidewalk has already been improved by the City with palm trees and brick
detailing. Bricker pavers will be used where the sidewalks cross driveways.
The applicant is requesting a two-year development order due to market conditions. Section 4-
407 specifies that an application for a building permit must be submitted within one year of the
date the CDB approves the project, unless otherwise specified under this approval.

Special Area Plan:
Beach bv Des�n: South Beach/Cleanvater Pass District
The City has demonstrated through the creation of Beach by Design and subsequent amendments
to this plan that it recognizes the need for pedestrian-friendly development in order to create a
vibrant active resort and waterfront destination serving tourists and locals alike. It is understood
that a broad range of uses including retail sales and service, hotels and motels and restaurants
contribute to the creation of the unique character and atmosphere that is Clearwater Beach. The
vision of the South Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design recognizes that this
district is a distinctive area of mixed use, high-rise condominiums, low- to mid-rise hotels,
outdoor recreation and tourist- and neighborhood-serving retail uses. The document
acknowledges that development within the District may be inhibited by though the lack of
availability of off-street parking. This development would further the trend of quality
redevelopment and/or improvements of properties along South Gulfview Boulevard within the
District including the Harborview Grande, the Entrada and Shephard's.
Beach by Desi�n: Section VII. Design Gufdelines:
Beach by Design provides that the implementation of the document involves more than
community redevelopment initiatives, it also involves private development and redevelopment
that conforms to design objectives and principles established in Beach by Design. These
objectives and principles will help the City promote safety, encourage cleanliness, and provide a
comfortable environment. It should be noted that any issue not addressed in the Design
Guidelines shall be governed by the requirements of the CDC. Furthermore, the Design
Guidelines are intended to be administered in a flexible manner to achieve the highest quality
built environment for Clearwater Beach.
Section A specifically addresses the issue of density. The proposal includes an additional 125
overnight accommodation units bringing the total number of units on the site to 314. Based on
the size of the portion of the site within the T district (3.908 acres) 195 units would be typically
permitted where the proposed density is 314 units. The methodology by which this figure is
arrived is examined in detail in the Site History section of this report and demonstrates
compliance with this provision.
Section B specifically addresses height and is delineated in three subsections.
Section B.1 provides that a height of up to 150 feet may be permitted where additional
density is allocated to the development either by TDRs, or via the Destination Resort Density
Pool pursuant to the CRD designation, or via the Hotel Density Reserve where the subject
property is located between South Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico or on the
west side of Coronado Drive. The proposal provides for a building just under 100 feet in
height, the site was the subject of an approved TDR application (TDR2004-09011) and is
consistent with the locational provisions, above. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with
this provision.
Section B.2 requires that portions of any structures which exceed 100 feet are spaced at least
100 feet apart. This section also includes overall separation requirements for structures over
100 feet in height as two options: (1) no more than two structures which exceed 100 feet
within 500 feet; or (2) no more than four structures which exceed 100 feet within 800 feet.

_.. s ��� , �e. .,,, ...
Since the proposed building does not exceed 100 feet in height this section is not applicable
to the proposal.
Section B.3 provides that the floorplate of any portion of a building that exceeds 45 feet in
height is limited as follows:
a) Between 45 feet and 100 feet the floorplate will be no greater than 25,000 square feet
except for parking structures open to the public; and
b) Between 100 feet and 150 feet, the floorplate will be no greater than 10,000 square
feet; and
c) Deviations to the above floorplate requirements may be approved provided the mass
and scale of the design creates a tiered effect and complies with the m�imum
building envelop allowance above 45 feet as described in Section C. 1.4 of the Design
Guidelines.
The proposal meets this provision in that the floorplate above 45 feet is 24,900 square
feet and there is no floorplate over 100 feet. Therefore, this section is supported by the
proposal.
Section C addresses issues relating to design, scale and building mass. These topics are
quantified in six parts as follows:
Section C.1 requires buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet or a single
dimension greater than 100 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. The proposed
building footprint is greater than 5,000 square feet. The applicant has provided that the
design of the building meets the requirement of this Design Guideline and Staff concurs.
Therefore, this provision is supported by the proposal.
Section C.2 requires no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater than 100 feet
without an offset of more than five feet. No portion of the building fa�ade continues for
more than 100 feet in length. The building incorporates a series of articulations of the
fenestration with the single longest fa�ade extending approximately 100 feet. Therefore, this
provision is supported by the proposal.
Section C.3 requires at least 60 percent of any elevation (with elevation being defined as that
portion of a building that is visible from a particular point outside the parcel proposed for
development) to be covered with windows or architectural decoration. The application
indicates compliance with this requirement using windows, balconies and architectural
details including decorative grilles, stucco reveals and similar detailing on all facades.
Coverage ranges between 61 and 81 percent of any given fa�ade. Therefore, this provision is
supported by the proposal.
Section C.4 provides that no more than 60 percent of the theoretical m�imum building
envelope located above 45 feet will be occupied by a building. The applicant has
demonstrated that the overall building mass between 45 and 100 feet constitutes
approximately 28 percent of the theoretical maximum building envelope. Therefore, this
provision is supported by the proposal.

Section C.S requires that the height and mass of buildings will be correlated to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel proposed for development and (2) adjacent public spaces
such as streets and parks. The adjacent South Gulfview Boulevard right-of-way is 70 feet in
width. The closest point of the building to the north (front) property line is 15 feet. The
proposal includes a generous entry plaza with planters and benches. In addition, the ground
floor of the building will be dominated by the entry into the hotel itself as well as entry into
retail space. The resulting effect is that the ground floor will be pedestrian in scale
contributing to the pedestrian experience along South Gulfview Boulevard with active retail
space. The mass of the building is mitigated through an extensive use of architectural
detailing including awnings, canopies, staggered roof line and windows. Therefore, this
provision is supported by the proposal.
Section C.6 permits buildings to be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of permitted
uses. The proposal is for a single use; overnight accommodations with ancillary accessory
retail and restaurant uses. Therefore, this guideline is not applicable to the development.
Section D addresses the issues of sidewalk widths, setbacks and stepbacks. These topics are
quantified in three parts as follows: �„
Section D.1 provides that the distances from structures to the edge of the right-of-way should
be 15 feet along arterials, and 12 feet along local streets where the proposal provides a
setback of 15 feet along South Gulfview Boulevaxd. In addition, a 10 foot pedestrian path is
key to establishing a pedestrian-friendly place in the nonresidential environment. The
proposal maintains the existing 10 foot sidewalk along South Gulfview Boulevard.
Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section D.2 provides that except for the side and rear setbacks set forth elsewhere in Beach
by Design, no side or rear setback lines are recommended, except as may be required to
comply with the City's Fire Code. The proposal includes side (west and east) setbacks of 15
and 10 feet (to building), respectively and a rear (south) setback of 28 feet. Therefore, this
Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section D.3 addresses setbacks and stepbacks along Coronado Drive. The proposal is not
located along Coronado Drive. Therefore this guideline is not applicable to the proposal.
Section E addresses issues of street-level facades and the incorporation of human-scale features
into the facades of buildings in three parts.
Section E.1 requires that at least 60 percent of the street level facades (the portion of the
building within 12 feet of grade) of buildings used for nonresidential purposes which abut a
public street or pedestrian access way, will include windows or doors that allow pedestrians
to see into the building, or landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas, where street level
facades are set back at least 15 feet from the edge of the sidewalk and the area between the
sidewalk and the facade is a landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plaza. In addition
parking structures should utilize architectural details and design elements such a false
recessed windows, arches, planter boxes, metal grillwork, etc. instead of transparent
alternatives. When a parking garage abuts a public road or other public place, it will be
designed such that the function of the building is not readily apparent except at points of
ingress and egress.

The proposed building provides for a traditionally-designed building in a Mediterranean
Revival style intended to match the other buildings on the site. The building design
incorporates an extensive use of fa�ade offsets, windows and balconies on all facades. In
addition, the site plan includes an extensive use of landscaping along the north side of the site
along South Gulfview Boulevard. The overall length of the north fa�ade facing South
Gulfview Boulevard is nearly 160 feet where nearly 70 percent of that distance is dedicated
to retail storefronts and the entrance of the hotel itself. As noted, the first five floors of the
building will contain over 300 parking spaces. As mentioned, the first floor will be
dominated by retail storefronts and the entrance into the hotel. The second floor is
effectively masked with awnings. The third floor fa�ade is articulated and incorporates a
variety of architectural details such as grillwork and decorative windows. The fourth and
fifth floors are screened with walls designed to resemble building spandrels similar in design
to the functional balconies and windows on the rest of the building. Therefore, this
Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section E.2 provides that window coverings, and other opaque materials may cover no more
than 10 percent of the area of any street-level window in a nonresidential building that fronts
on a public right-of-way. While this is more of an operationally-related requirement, the
applicant has committed to meet this provision.
Section E.3 requires that building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and easily
identified. The entrances to the building are distinguished with awnings and a generous
plaza area including planters and benches. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section F addresses issues related to parking areas. Parking is addressed via five floors of
structured parking completely integrated into the design of the building. Surface parking will be
buffered from street rights-of-way by a landscape buffer three feet in width. Therefore, this
Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section G addresses issues related to signage. A sign package has not been included with the
submittal. Any proposed signage will be required to meet the requirements of this section of
Beach by Design and any applicable portions of the Community Development Code.
Section H addresses issues related to sidewalks (also addressed in part by Section D, above) and
provides that all sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at least 10 feet in width.
The proposal maintains the existing 10-foot wide sidewalk along South Gulfview Boulevard.
Any repairs to the sidewalk necessitated by construction of the proposal will tie into the existing
sidewalk to the north and south of the site matching the existing sidewalk with regard to fit,
finish and materials. Pavers will be used to distinguish driveways as they cross the sidewalk.
Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section I addresses issues related to street furniture and bicycle racks. Benches are proposed
with this development. The applicant will coordinate with City Staff with regard to the
placement and installation methodology for any street furniture located within the right-of-way
which may be proposed at time of permit submittal. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this
proposal.

are required to reflect Florida or coastal vernacular themes. The proposed hotel building utilizes
a Mediterranean Revival design that will match the other buildings on the site. The materials
and color of the building will support its Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The building
will be painted four earth tones ranging from brownish-gold to medium brown to shades of
white. The building facades are broken up with a variety of offsets, windows, balconies and
rooflines. While the applicant may adjust the color scheme any such adjustment would require
Staff approval and must meet the requirements of this portion of the Design Guidelines. The
proposed color scheme and material schedule meets the requirements of this section.
Community Development Code
➢ Purpose Intent and Basic Planning Objectives
The proposal is supported by the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of this
Code as follows:
Section 1-103.B.1. Allowing property owners to enhance the value of their property through
innovative and creative redevelopment.
The property owner will redevelop a portion of a site adding much needed overnight
accommodation unit capacity. The proposal includes a new attractive building, a vibrant use
(overnight accommodations) and contributes to the adjacent public space maintaining an existing
sidewalk 10 feet in width, incorporating retail uses, a courtyard, benches and bike racks along
South Gulfview Boulevard. The development is considered innovate and creative in that it
ultimately results in three hotel buildings on a single property effectively breaking up what could
otherwise be a single massive building. Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section.
Section 1-103.B.2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a negative
impact on the value of surrounding properties and wherever practicable promoting development
and redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding properties.
Surrounding properties are generally developed with a myriad of uses indicative of a tourist
destination including overnight accommodations, retail sales and services, bars, nightclubs,
outdoor recreation and entertainment, restaurants and attached dwellings. The proposed hotel
will constitute an appropriate use for the neighborhood and is a targeted desired use within the
South Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design. Surrounding properties will be
enhanced through the addition of a use which will contribute to an active and vibrant street life.
Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section.
Section 1-103.B.3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole.
The proposal includes the addition of hotel units which is expected to create approximately 100
to 150 new jobs and will positively contributing to the City's economy and its tax base.
Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section.

Section 1-103.D. It is the further purpose of this Development Code to make the beautification of
the city a matter of the highest priority and to require that existing and future uses and structures
in the city are attractive and well-maintained to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The proposal includes a new attractive building characterized by a Mediterranean Revival style
to match the other buildings on the site. It also provides lush landscaping along South Gulfview
Boulevard and meets the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design. The landscape design
incorporates plant material that is native and/or naturalized and salt tolerant, while providing visual
interest. Medjool Date Palms are proposed along the front of the site to provide height and scale to
the building. The pedestrian scale along South Gulfview Boulevard will be enhanced with accent
shrubs and dense groundcover beds. The west side of the building will be enhanced with
Washingtonian Palms, tree-form Ligustrum and other salt tolerant vegetation to create a landscape
that will contribute to the overall sense of place. The site will also be planted with silver
buttonwood, foxtail palms, oleander, bird of paradise and ixora. Therefore, the proposal supports
this CDC Section.
Section 1-103.E.5. Preserve the natural resources and aesthetic character of the communiry for
both the resident and tourist population consistent with the city's economic underpinnings.
The proposal will support both the residential and tourist populations with a new hotel with
ground floor retail uses and a 10-foot wide sidewalk along South Gulfview Boulevard. The
proposal will be consistent with regard to the desired form and function of the South
Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design and meets the Design Guidelines of that
document. Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section.
Section 2-401.1 Intent of the T District and RFH FL UP classification.
The CDC provides that it is the intent of the T District that development be consistent with the
Countywide Future Land Use Plan as required by state law. The uses and development potential
of a parcel of land within the T District shall be determined by the standards found in this
Development Code as well as the Countywide Future Land Use Designation of the property,
including any acreage or floor area restrictions set forth in the Rules Concerning the
Administration of the Countywide Future Land Use Plan, as amended from time to time. For
those parcels within the T District that have an area within the boundaries of and governed by a
special area plan approved by the city council and the countywide planning authority, maximum
development potential shall be as set forth for each classification of use and location in the
approved plan.
Section 2.3.3.4.6 of the Countywide Land Use Rules provides that the purpose of the RFH FLUP
classification is to depict those areas of the County that are now developed, or appropriate to be
developed, with high density residential and resort, tourist facility uses, and to recognize such
areas as well-suited for the combination of residential and temporary lodging use consistent with
their location, surrounding uses, transportation facilities and natural resource characteristics of
such areas.
The site has been developed with a hotel and the proposal provides for 125 additional hotel
rooms within a new building which is a use permitted by the RFH FLUP classification.

➢ Development Parameters
Densi :
Pursuant to the Countywide Future Land Use Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the maximum
density for properties with a designation of Resort Facilities High is 50 overnight
accommodation units per acre. Based on the 3.908 acres zoned T District, a m�imum of 195
overnight accommodation units would normally be permissible under current regulations. The
site was the subject and approval of a Termination of Status of Nonconformity with regard to
density (289 hotel units). That application also included a request to convert 48 hotel units to 36
dwelling units. The conversion rate of hotel units to dwelling units, at the time, was 0.75
residential units per one hotel unit based on a density of 40 hotel and 30 dwelling units per acre
(30 divided by 40). In 2006 a minor amendment was approved which converted an additional 52
hotel units to 39 dwelling units at the aforementioned conversion rate which brought the total
number of hotel units converted to dwelling units to 100 (48 plus 52). These 100 hotel units
converted, at the time, to 75 dwelling units (100 times 0.75). Since 2006 the permitted density
for hotel units increased from 40 units per acre to 50 while the density for dwelling units
remained the same. That means that the conversion rate of dwelling unit to hotel unit increased
from 1.33 dwelling units per hotel unit (40 divided by 30) to 1.67 (50 divided by 30). The
applicant is now converting those 75 dwelling units to 125 hotel units (75 times 1.67).
Therefore, given the fact that the Termination of Status of Nonconformity and the change in the
ratio of hotel units to dwelling units since 2006 the proposed number of hotel units (314) is
considered conforming.
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR�
Pursuant to the Countywide Future Land Use Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the maximum
allowable ISR is 0.95. The overall proposed ISR is 0.91, which is consistent with the Plan and
this Code provision.
Minimum Lot Area and Width:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum required lot area for Overnight Accommodations is
between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet. The subject property is 170,232 square feet in area
landward of the seawall (zoned T District). Pursuant to the same Table, the minimum lot width
for overnight accommodations can range between 100 and 150 feet. The lot width of this site
along South Gulfview Boulevard is 467 feet. The proposal is consistent with these Code
provisions.
Minimum Setbacks:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum required front setbacks for Overnight
Accommodations can range between zero and 15 feet, minimum side setback between zero and
10 feet and minimum rear setback between zero and 20 feet. In addition, CDC Section 3-903
provides that parking lots shall be set back from front property lines a distance of 15 feet, and
shall be set back from all other property lines a distance that is consistent with the required
perimeter landscape buffer width. However, for properties within the T District, the setback for
parking lots shall be based a dimension consistent with the existing/proposed building setback, or
at a dimension consistent with setbacks required or otherwise established by Beach by Design,
whichever is less. Section F of the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design provides that all
parking areas are to be separated from public rights-of-way by a landscaped decorative wall,
fence or other opaque landscape treatment of not less than three feet and not more than 3.5 feet

in height. Surface parking areas that are visible from public streets or other public places must be
landscaped such that the parking areas are defined more by their landscaping materials than their
paved areas when viewed from adjacent properties. The required setback to parking is therefore,
three feet.
The proposal includes a front (north) setback of 15 feet (to building), zero feet (to entry plaza
paving) and three feet (to parking), a side (west) setback of 15 feet (to building) and zero feet (to
existing public access sidewalk), a side (east) setback of 10 feet (to existing building) and zero
feet (to existing parking and dumpster enclosure), a rear (south) setback of 106 feet (to building.
The proposal meets the setback requirements of CDC Table 2-803 for Overnight
Accommodations as well as the requirements of CDC Section 3-903 and the applicable sections
of Beach by Design.
Maximum Building Height:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the maximum height for Overnight Accommodations is between
35 and 100 feet. As examined in detail, above, Beach by Design provides further clarification as
to the circumstances under which height may be increased to 150 feet. The proposed building
height of just less than 100 feet to the top of the roof deck (113 to mid-point of peaked roof
screening for elevator and other mechanical equipment) is consistent with this CDC section.
In addition, it should be noted that this site is located within the South Beach/Clearwater Pass
District of Beach by Design, which is indicated as a distinctive area of mixed use, including
high-rise condominiums and resort hotels. The proposal complies with the Code requirements
under the definition of "Height, Building or Structure" for elevator and stair overruns and
mechanical rooms, which are permitted to extend a maximum of 16 feet above the otherwise
permitted height. The design of this project creates a form and function that will be consistent
with and enhance the character of this area.
Minimum Of�street Parking:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum off-street parking requirement for Overnight
Accommodations is between one and 1.2 spaces per unit (between 314 and 377 spaces). A total
of 407 spaces (1.29 spaces per unit) are provided within the first five floors of the proposed
building, under existing buildings and via surface parking spaces. The parking garage must
comply with the Building Code and have a vertical clear height for all parking garage levels of
not less than seven feet including the entrance and exit. This clear height includes any structural
beams, fire sprinkler pipes and heads, electrical conduits and lighting, drainage pipes and any
other building elements. The proposal is therefore consistent with the Code provisions of Article
2 Division 8 and Beach by Design and no flexibility from the Code is necessary.
Mechanical E�uipment:
Pursuant to CDC Sections 3-201.D.1 and 3-903.I, all outside mechanical equipment must be
screened so as not to be visible from public streets and/or abutting properties. There will be
mechanical equipment located within and on the roof of the building. The equipment on the roof
area will be adequately screened from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-way by solid
screening. The screening of the mechanical equipment will be reviewed at time of the building
permit submission.

Si�ht Visibility Trian�Zes:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the intersection of streets and/or
driveways, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will obstruct views at a level
between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-foot sight visibility
triangles. This proposal does not propose any structures within the required sight visibility
triangles and landscaping within them will be limited to groundcovers and low shrubs,
complying with this provision. This proposal has been reviewed by the City's Traffic
Engineering Department and been found to be acceptable. Landscaping located within the sight
visibility triangles will need to be maintained to meet the Code requirements.
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. There are no existing overhead utility lines, serving this development, within
the rights-of-way along the west side of South Gulfview Boulevard. All utilities that will serve
the site will be placed underground.
LandscapinQ:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D, there are no perimeter buffers required in the T District for
this site. This proposal meets the required minimum five-foot wide foundation planting along the
north side of the building. It should be noted that plantings are not possible along most of the north
farade due to building entrances. The proposal also includes a perimeter landscape buffer
approximately three to five feet in width along the north side of the site. The landscape design
incorporates plant material that is native andlor naturalized and salt tolerant, while providing visual
interest. Medjool Date Palms are proposed along the front of the site to provide height and scale to
the building. The pedestrian scale along South Gulfview Boulevard will be enhanced with accent
shrubs and dense groundcover beds. The site will also be planted with silver buttonwood, foxtail
palms, oleander, bird of paradise and ixora. It should be noted that the proposal is consistent with
Section F of the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design which provides that surface parking be
buffered with landscaping at least three feet in width and 3.5 feet in height. The CDC requires that
at least 10 percent of the vehicular use area be dedicated to landscaped area. Approximately
34,000 square feet of exterior vehicular use area is provided (structured or under-building vehicular
us area does not count) which requires at least 3,400 square feet of landscape area where
approximately 3,500 square feet of interior landscaped area is provided. Pursuant to CDC Section
3-1202.B up to 75 percent of required shade trees may be provided with palm trees. The proposal
seeks relief from this requirement in that no shade trees are provided.
The applicant has opted to utilize the Comprehensive Landscape Program pursuant to CDC
Section 3-1202.G and as permitted pursuant to CDC Section 6-109.C.4. The criteria for a
Comprehensive Landscape Program are provided below:
1. Architectural theme.
a. The landsc �� in a comprehensive landscape program shall be desiQned as a part of
the architectural theme of the �rincipal buildin�s �ro�osed or developed on the parcel
pro�osed for development; or

b. The des�n character location and/or materials of the landscape treatment proposed in
the com�rehensive landscape pro�ram shall be demonstrablv more attractive than
landscapin� otherwise permitted on the t�arcel proposed for development under the
minimum landsca�e standards.
The proposal exceeds the otherwise maximum percentage of palm trees in lieu of shade
trees; no shade trees are provided. The proposal otherwise meets the requirements of the
CDC and Beach by Design with regard to landscaping. The proposed landscape plan
complements and supports the Mediterranean Revival style of the proposed and existing
buildings. Therefore this criterion is met by the proposal.
2. Lighting Anv li�hting pro�osed as a part of a comprehensive landscape pro�ram is
automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned offwhen the business is closed.
This criterion is not applicable to the subject site because the hotel does not close.
However, the applicant will ensure that all lighting meets the requirements of CDC Article 3
Division 13. Outdoor Lighting.
3. Community character The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive landscape
p�o�ram will enhance the community character of the Citv of Clearwater.
The additional landscaping proposed for site in combination with the existing landscaping
will make the property more attractive thereby enhancing the community character. The
landscape plan, with the exception of providing the entire shade tree requirement in palm
trees, meets the requirements of the CDC and Beach by Design. The request to not provide
any shade trees is reasonable given the context of the site. CDC Section 3-1202.E requires
the provision of one shade tree per landscape island or one tree per 150 square feet of
interior landscape space. There are 13 islands located within the surface vehicular use area
resulting in the requirement of 13 shade trees. It should be noted that a significant portion
of the vehicular use area is dedicated to drive aisles leading connecting structured parking.
The islands are already or will be planted with more than 21 palms and 12 accent trees
which equate to more than 13 shade trees. The provision of all required shade trees with
accent and palm trees is reasonable given the location of the site directly along the Gulf, the
limited amount of surface parking and the context of the immediate area which is dominated
by a variety of accent trees and palm trees both on private and public lands.
4. Pro�erty values The landsc�e treatment�roposed in the comprehensive landscape
pro�am will have a bene zcial impact on the value o f propert� in the immediate vicinitv of
the �arcel �roposed or development.
The landscaping provided is consistent with the requirements of Beach by Design and other
development approved by the City in the area. The proposal will improve the aesthetics of
the site and should have a beneficial impact on surrounding properties.

S. Special area or scenic corridor �lan The landscape treatment proposed in the
com�rehensive landscape �ro�am is consistent with an�special area or scenic corridor
plan which the Cit�of Clearwater has prepared and adopted for the area in which the parcel
propose�or development is located.
Perimeters buffers, as previously mentioned, are not required by the CDC in the T District
except as otherwise required by Beach by Design. Parking areas are required by Section F of
the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design to be buffered from public rights-of-way by a
landscape buffer at least three feet in width and 3.5 feet in height. The site does include a
perimeter buffer along South Gulfview Boulevard between five and 15 feet in width which
meets the requirement of Beach by Design.
Solid Waste:
The proposal will include a trash collection facility within the building and roll-out dumpsters
which will be moved outside to a staging area on collection days. The proposal has been found
to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste Department.
SSi�nage:
A sign package has not been included with the submittal. Any proposed signage will be required
to meet the requirements of this section of Beach by Design and any applicable portions of the
Community Development Code.
➢ General A�plicability Criteria Requirements
The proposal supports the General Applicability requirements of this Code as follows:
Section 3-914.A.1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk,
coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
The proposal includes a 125-unit hotel within a single 10-story building with five floors of
parking and assorted accessory uses such as a restaurant, bar, gym, retail and meeting spaces.
The proposal will bring the total number of hotel units on the site to 314. The proposed hotel
building will match the Mediterranean Revival style of the other three buildings on the site. The
subject site is surrounded by a myriad of uses indicative of a tourist destination including
overnight accommodations, retail sales and services, baxs, nightclubs, outdoor recreation and
entertainment, restaurants and attached dwellings. The proposed hotel will constitute an
appropriate use for the neighborhood and is a targeted desired use within the South
Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design. The proposal includes lush landscaping
which exceeds the intent of the CDC and will complement and enhance surrounding properties.
The 440 and 450 West attached dwelling condominiums towers are located to the north of this
subject property and are 157 feet in height (each tower). Otherwise, the immediate vicinity is
typified by buildings between two and nine floors. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code
section.
Section 3-914.A.2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage development and
use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.
The proposal is, as discussed in relation to CDC Section 3-914.A.1, above, consistent with the
character of adjacent properties and with the intent and vision of Beach by Design, the South
Beach/Clearwater Pass District and the Design Guidelines. The applicant has shown through

substantial competent evidence that the proposal is similar in nature vis-a-vis form and function
to adjacent and nearby properties. As mentioned, this site is already developed as a hotel with all
other properties and specifically adjacent properties fully or nearly fully developed with a myriad
of uses including mixed use, high-rise condominiums, resort hotels, outdoor recreation and
entertainment, retail uses and other uses indicative of a tourist destination. The proposal will not
impair the value of adjacent properties. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC
Section.
Section 3-914.A.3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or workfng in the neighborhood.
The proposal, similar to that as already existing on site and in the immediate vicinity, will likely
have no effect, negative or otherwise, on the health or safety of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3-914.A.4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffac congestion.
The proposal has been designed to have a minimal effect on trafiic congestion. Naturally, the
addition of 125 hotel units will increase the amount of traffic in the area. However, this expected
increase in traffic has been mitigated with adequate on-site stacking space and parking in excess
of the minimum required. The submitted Traffic Impact Study indicates that the proposal will
have minimal effect on the Level of Service of the surrounding roadways. Therefore, the
proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3-914.A. S. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the
immediate vicinity.
As previously discussed, the community character consists primarily of a variety of uses
including attached dwellings, outdoor recreation and entertainment, retail sales and service,
hotels and motels and restaurants within multi-story attached dwellings between two and 15
stories. The proposal is to bring the total number of hotel rooms on the site to 314 with a new
10-story, 125-unit hotel. The proposed hotel building will match the Mediterranean Revival
style of the three other buildings on the site and will complement and enhance adjacent
properties. The proposal, as examined in detail elsewhere in this report, is consistent with Beach
by Design. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3-914.A.6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including
visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties.
The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse visual and acoustic impacts on
adjacent properties. There should be no olfactory impacts of any kind. The primary active use
area of the proposal will be the pool and patio area located on the sixth floor (as well as the
existing at-grade pool and patio centrally located along the south side of the site) and will be
buffered from the adjacent residential use to the west with a stair tower and pool cabanas. In
addition, the building to the west includes few windows on its east fa�ade overlooking the
proposed pool. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.

➢ Overnight Accommodation criteria reyuirements
The proposal supports the specific Overnight Accommodations criteria pursuant to CDC Section
2-803.J as follows:
1. With the exception of those properties located on Clearwater Beach, the parcel proposed for
development shall.front on but shall not involve direct access to a major arterial street unless
no other means of access would be possible.
The property, already developed as an Overnight Accommodation, is located on a major
arterial street. However, there are no other means of accessing the street. In addition, the
proposal is located on Clearwater Beach. The proposal includes utilizing the existing
driveways. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this criterion.
2. Height: The increased height results in an improved site plan and/or improved design and
appearance.
The proposal includes a height of just less than 100 feet. The proposed height provides for
the room to provide landscaping in excess of the intent of the CDC and to provide a building
in scale with the other buildings on the site and adjacent to the property. Therefore, the
proposal is consistent with this CDC criterion.
3. Signs: No sign of any kind is designed or located so that any portion of the sign is more than
six feet above the finished grade of the front lot line of the parcel proposed for development
unless such signage is a part of an approved comprehensive sign program.
A sign package has not been included with the submittal. Any proposed signage will be
required to meet the requirements of this section of Beach by Design and any applicable
portions of the Community Development Code. Therefore, while this criterion is applicable
to the proposal is will be applied when a sign package is submitted to Staff for review.
4. Front setback:
a. The reduced setback shall contribute to a more active and dynamic street life;
b. The reduced setback shall result in an improved site plan through the provision of a more
efficient off-street parking area, and/or improved building design and appearance; and
c. The reduced setback will not result in a loss of landscaped area, as those areas being
diminished by the setback reduction will be compensated for in other areas through a
Comprehensive Landscape Plan
It should be noted that the provided setbacks are consistent with that as otherwise
required as a Level I Flexible Standard Development; it is the height which requires that
the proposal be reviewed as a Level II Flexible Development. As discussed in detail, the
proposal includes retail space along nearly half of the fa�ade facing South Gulfview
Boulevard, an entry courtyard with seating and bike racks and extensive landscaping in
excess of that as otherwise required by the CDC. Therefore, the proposal is consistent
with this CDC criterion.

hurricane evacuation plan (HEP) requiring the use close when a hurricane watch is posted;
The applicant has committed to providing a HEP prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy and a condition of approval to this effect has been included with Staf�s
recommendation. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC criterion.
10. A development agreement must be approved by the city council pursuant to F.S. ��
163.3221-163.3243 and Community Development Code Section 4-606 if the development
proposal exceeds the base density and/or base F.A.R. established for the underlying Future
Land Use designation. The development agreement shall;
a. Comply with all applicable requirements of the "Rules Concerning the Administration of
the Countywide Future Land Use Plan" as they pertain to alternative density/intensity,
and as amended from time to time;

b. Be recorded with the clerk of the circuit court pursuant to F.S. � 163.3239, with a copy
filed with the property appraiser's office, and a copy submitted to the PPC and CPA for
receipt and filing within 14 days after recording; and
c. Have its development limitations memorialized in a deed restriction, which shall be
recorded in the Official Records of Pinellas County prior to the issuance of any building
permit for the overnight accommodations use.
The density associated with the site was approved as part of a Flexible Development
request for Termination of Status of Nonconformity. There is no requirement for the
provision of a Development Agreement. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable to the
proposal.
11. Accessory Uses
a. Accessory uses must be incidental, subordinate, and customarily accessory to overnight
accommodations;
The site will include a total GFA (excluding parking areas, stairwells and elevator shafts)
of 139,950 square feet. Accessory uses will encompass 8,335 square feet which
constitutes approximately six percent of the GFA of the proposed building. The total
amount of commercial/accessory use square footage is 8,335 squaxe feet which
constitutes approximately six percent of the gross floor area (139,950 square feet) of the
proposed building. The applicant has provided that the total amount of
commercial/accessory use square footage for the entire site (including the proposed
building) is approximately 34,595 square feet which constitutes 11.5 percent of the total
amount of floor area. It should be noted that this figure may be slightly higher than it
should be as the applicant has included some area which Staff does not consider
commercial/accessory. Staff generally does not include space which is only accessible
by guests and/or staff of the hotel such as exercise rooms or breakfast buffet areas. Staff
does not include such features as lobbies, preparation/pre-function areas and the like.
Staff will only include those areas which could be used by the general public and could
realistically be considered as "parking generators". Therefore, the proposal is consistent
with this CDC criterion.
b. The following shall apply to required parking for accessory uses:
i. Accessory uses located within the building interior may occupy between 15 percent
and 20 percent of the gross floor area of the development, but only when additional
parking is provided for that portion of the accessory uses which exceeds 15 percent.
The required amount of parking shall be calculated by using the minimum off-street
parking development standard for the most intensive accessory use(s). Where there is
a range of parking standards, the lowest number of spaces allowed shall be used to
calculate the additional amount of off-street parking required for the project. In
projects where the interior accessory uses exceed 20 percent of the building gross
floor area, all interior accessory uses shall be considered additional primary uses for
purposes of calculating development potential and parking requirements;
ii. Regardless of the gross floor area percentage, overnight accommodations with fewer
than SO rooms that have a full service restaurant shall comply with the parking
standards for the restaurant use as contained in Table 2-803. The lowest number of
spaces allowed shall be used to calculate the additional amount of off-street parking
required for the restaurant.

��.� �,,�:...,.
The proposal exceeds the 50-room limitation, above. In addition, the total amount of
accessory space on the site constitutes approximately 11.5 percent of the total GFA.
Therefore, parking may be based at 1.2 spaces per room where 1.29 spaces are provided.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC criterion
c. In addition to the requirements above, for those projects that request additional rooms
from the Hotel Density Reserve established in Beach by Design and whose interior
accessory uses are between ten percent and 1 S percent of the gross floor area of the
proposed building, density shall be calculated as follows:
i. Calculate the maximum number of units allowed by the base density;
ii. Calculate the maximum number of units that may be allocated from the Hotel Density
Reserve established in Beach by Design;
iii. Add the figures determined in i. and ii. to determine the total number of units allowed
for the site;
iv. Divide the total number of units allowed, as calculated in iii., by the total land area to
determine the resulting units per acre for the project site;
v. Determine the total floor area of all interior accessory uses exceeding ten percent of
the gross floor area of the proposed building;
vi. Subtract the figure determined in v. from the total land area, and divide this
difference by 43, 560 to determine the net acreage;
vii. Multiply the net acreage derived in vi. by the applicable resulting units per acre
figure determined in iv. The resulting product is the maximum number of rooms
allowable for the project; and
viii. The final allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve shall be determined by
multiplying the net acreage determined in vi. by the base density and subtracting this
product from the maximum number of rooms allowable for the project as determined
in vii.
No additional rooms are requested from the Hotel Density Reserve. Therefore, this
criterion is not applicable to the proposal.
d. Signage for any accessory use shall be subordinate to and incorporated into the primary
freestanding signage for the overnight accommodation use. In no case shall more than 25
percent of the sign area be dedicated to the accessory uses.
A sign package has not been included with the submittal. Any proposed signage will be
required to meet the requirements of this section of Beach by Design and any applicable
portions of the Community Development Code. Therefore, while this criterion is
applicable to the proposal is will be applied when a sign package is submitted to Staff for
review.
e. Those developments that have obtained additional density from the Destination Resort
Density Pool established in Beach by Design are not subject to the requirements set forth
in Sections 2-803.I.11. a—d.
The Pool is no longer in effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable to the proposal.

206.D.4.
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is supported by applicable various Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Future Land Use Plan Element
Policy A.1.2.1 - The City shall require new or redeveloped overnight accommodations uses
located within the City's coastal storm area to have a hurricane evacuation plan, approved by
the City, for all guests. This plan shall require the commencement of evacuation of hotel guests
as soon as a hurricane watch is posted for the City.
A Hurricane Evacuation Plan will be submitted to and approved by the City prior to the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy. Therefore, the proposal will support this Policy
Policy A.3.2.1 - All new development or redevelopment of property within the Ciry of Clearwater
shall meet all landscape requirements of the Community Development Code.
The proposal, as discussed in detail, meets the requirements of the CDC by meeting the criteria
of a Comprehensive Landscape Program and providing landscaping in excess of the intent of the
CDC and supports this Policy.
Objective A.S.S - Promote high quality design standards that support Clearwater's image and
contribute to its identity.
The proposal includes the redevelopment of lot currently developed with a 189-unit hotel. The
proposal includes a new attractive overnight accommodations use with an additional 125 hotel
units. As explored in detail, the proposed building meets the requirements of the Design
Guidelines of Beach by Design, is supported by the vision of the South Beach/Clearwater Pass
District and supports this Objective.
Policy A. 5.5.1 Development should be designed to maintain and support the existing or
envisioned character of the neighborhood.
As mentioned above, the proposal is consistent with the vision of Beach by Design, the South
Beach/Clearwater Pass District and the Design Guidelines and supports this Policy.
Objective A.6.1 - The redevelopment of blighted, substandard, inefficient andlor obsolete areas
shall be a high priority and promoted through the implementation of redevelopment and special
area plans, the construction of catalytic private projects, city investment, and continued
emphasis on property maintenance standards.
In adopting Beach by Design the City recognized that large portions of the Beach could be
classified as blighted, substandard and suffered from "obsolescence and age". One of the goals
of Beach by Design is to reverse this trend of disinvestment. This goal is well on the way to
being met (perhaps even exceeded) in many areas of the Beach. The South Beach/Clearwater
Pass District is one area that has seen a great deal of redevelopment activity. The proposed hotel
should be seen as an important linchpin in tying the Beach Walk District with the South

Beach/Clearwater Pass District and one more step in the revitalization of the Beach and supports
this Objective.
Policy A.6.1.2 - Renewal of the beach tourist district shall be encouraged through the
establishment of distinct districts within Clearwater Beach, the establishment of a limited density
pool of additional hotel rooms to be used in specified geographic areas of Clearwater Beach,
enhancement of public rights-of-way, the vacation of public rights-of-way when appropriate,
transportation improvements, inter-beach and intra-beach transit, transfer of development rights
and the use of design guidelines, pursuant to Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for
Clearwater Beach and Design Guidelines.
As explored previously in this document, the site was the subject of a Termination of Status of
Nonconformity. The continued development of this parcel with a hotel will play an important
role in the renewal and revitalization of the Beach. Therefore, the proposal supports this Policy.
Objective A.6.6 - Tourism is a substantial element of the City's economic base and as such the
City shall continue to support the maintenance and enhancement of this important economic
sector.
Policy A.6.6.1 - The City supports and encourages the continued development and
redevelopment of overnight accommodation uses.
The proposed redevelopment includes an overnight accommodation use which will serve tourists
and locals alike contributing to a vibrant successful resort destination and supports this Objective
and Policy.
Policy A.6.8.3 - Where appropriate, development shall provide a sense of pedestrian scale on
streets through minimal front setbacks, similar building heights, street trees and proportionaliry
of building heights to street widths.
The proposal includes an expansion of an existing successful overnight accommodation use with
an overall height of just under than 100 feet. All required setbacks are met with the proposal.
The design of the building incorporates an extensive use of windows, balconies and other
architectural detailing. The street-level fa�ade of the building along South Gulfview Boulevard
is dominated by storefronts and the entrance into the hotel lobby. The overall effect of the
proposal will pedestrian-scale consistent with the goals and vision of Beach by Design and the
South Beach/Clearwater Pass District and supports this Policy.

Medjool Date Palms are proposed in planters along South Gulfview Boulevard to enhance the streetscape. Due to the site's
proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, no shade trees are being proposed (high salt exposure). In lieu of shade trees, palm and
accenttrees which have high salt tolerance are being proposed. The plant palette for the proposed landscape will blend
nicely with the existing landscape on site.

accommodations, swimming pool and a restaurant. Decade Gulf Coast Hotel Partners requests the
construction of a new limited services hotel building which will add 125 overnight accommodation units,
discrete enclosed parking, improved curb appeal, and landscaping. The property will include a
waterslide, retail space, banquet facility, meeting space and a roof top bar. The new building will
complement the surrounding buildings in color, height and architectural style. Pedestrians will be
welcomed with attractive outdoor seating, and enhanced landscape areas. The goals of Beach by
Design for the Clearwater Pass District call for just such revitalization which will add to the overall
improvements of Clearwater Beach as a whole.
The site is 4.87 acres, and currently consists of 189 overnight accommodations and 204 parking spaces.
The proposed accessory building will add 125 overnight accommodations for a total of 314 rooms. There
will be no residential units on site. Parking will be increased to 407 with the addition of an enclosed
parking garage. The project will bring landscaping to current code and create a more attractive walk-
able streetscape.

2005 with a deviation to the required stacking spaces at the driveways, as a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Section 2-803-C.
Building permits were issued to remodel the existing hotel, reducing the number of rooms from 289 to
189.
On January 18, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDBj approved with 14 conditions, a Flexible
Development application for the subject property for the Termination of Status of a Nonconformity for
density (existing 289 rooms/units overnight accommodation use-to be converted into 241 rooms/units
overnight accommodation use and 36 dwelling units), to permit a mixed use (241 room/unit overnight
accommodation use (including accessory restaurant, retail sales and wave runner business), 38 attached

� Dev�tapnient Proposal
The proposal is to construct 125 limited service overnight accommodations. Parking will be provided
under the new building. The proposed building will feature traditional architecture with an Andalusia
flair which complements the existing architecture and that of neighboring buildings. The color palate
will be in keeping with Beach by Design criteria. Amenities will include the existing swimming pool, an
indoor/outdoor cafe, and a specialty slide. The design carefully considers Beach by Design and the
project's compatibility with its surroundings. The project's metrics fall within the Flexible Development
Application, Community Development Code and Beach by Design guidelines. There will be no rental
units on the site.
Special Area Ptan: Clearwater Pass District
The area to the south and east of the Beach and Small Hotel Districts is distinctively eclectic with high
rise condominiums, resort hotels, recreation, and small retail establishments. Beach by Design
anticipates the Clearwater Pass District be an area of strategic revitalization and renovation lead by
improving conditions on the rest of the Beach.
The City has demonstrated through the creation of Beach by Design and subsequent amendments to the
plan that it recognizes the need for pedestrian friendly development in order to create a vibrant
attractive resort and waterfront destination serving tourists and locals alike. It is understood that a
broad range of uses contribute to the creation of the unique character and atmosphere of Clearwater
Beach.
While Beach by Design contemplates the challenges of infill development, the eclectic nature of the uses
and architecture and the lack of off street parking, development projects such as this help create visual
continuity, provide much needed off street parking, and improve curb appeal with improved
landscaping.
Beach by Design

The project will consist of 125 overnight accommodations, (see Exhibit F). The building height is
proposed to be 98.67" to the top of the roof, and 113/ to the top of inechanical, stair and elevator runs.
Maximum building height for Beach by Design is 150'. The proposed height is harmonious with the
varied heights of buildings surrounding the subject property. The design has incorporated step backs on
all faces of the building to provide the visual interest encouraged by Beach by Design.
The proposed building is designed to complement the existing Holiday Inn, thus the facades are
composed of decorative pilasters and arches. Colonnades accent the design along with barrel tiled
roofs.

The proposed building setbacks meet the requirements of the Development code for the districts and
provide for fire and maintenance access at the rear of the property. Side setbacks are set at 15' and a
20.5' to structure setback from the existing seawall.
All of the project's parking will be concealed in an enclosed parking garage. On the street level, parking
will be masked with decorative windows featuring metal grillwork. The fourth and fifth floors of the
parking level will appear as building spandrels of similar design to the balconies and windows of the
residential portion of the building.
The landscaping at the front of the building incorporates lush palms a stepped seating area, bicycle
racks, decorative lighting and trash receptacles. The color palate is the old Florida Flagler style which
includes pastels and white trim.
Flexible D�velopment Standarcis
The development has been designed within the Flexible Development Standards, including height, scale,
bulk, parking, and signage. No reductions in setbacks are being requested. No reduction in parking is
being requested. And the proposed accessory use is less than the maximum 15%. No requests from the
Density Reserve are being requested, (see Exhibit F, Attached).
Comprehensiv� Plan
The proposal is supported by applicable various Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan as Follows:
Future Land Use Plan Element
• Policy a.1.2.1.-The City shall require new or redeveloped overnight accommodations uses

The Entrada will have considerable positive economic impacts to the community including providing a
variety of employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for local residents, as well as fiscal, indirect
and induced economic opportunities for the community.
Properties such as the Entrada are known to have a strong, positive effect on the local and regional
economies. This brief assessment provides a summary of economic impacts and projections as to how
such a project could favorably enhance the economy of Clearwater and progress its redevelopment
plans for Clearwater Beach. It is anticipated that the Entrada will add approximately 126 new
employees.
Hotels provide both short and long term increases to the local economy. Short term direct impacts
include all revenues from construction including building materials, payroll, professional services and
service contracts. Long term direct impact sources of revenue includes room, food and beverage sales,
restaurant and banquet services, spa services, retail and parking revenues and payrolt.
Fiscal impacts include federal, state and local taxes from development, and operation of the hotel
including property taxes and lodging taxes. Indirect impacts include local governments, hotel owners,
employees, contractor suppliers, restaurant suppliers, laundry vendors, telecommunication vendors,
utility companies, and food and beverage suppliers. Induced impacts are generated when employees,
both full time and temporary spend their wages on local consumer purchases.
Canclusion
The beauty of Clearwater beach makes it a popular destination for visitors and residents. The City has
created a master plan to guide the redevelopment process, preserving the beauty of the natural
resources while creating districts that enhance the experience of visitors. Entrada at 521 5. Gulfview is
designed to incorporate the Beach by Design vision with a pedestrian friendly destination, innovative
architecture, breathtaking views and visual variety. The development metrics are well within Beach by
Design, Flexible Standard guidelines and Community Development standards.

density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
The Entrada located at 521 South Gulfview Boulevard, currently consists of 189 overnight
accommodations and 204 parking spaces. The Owner requests approval to construct an accessory
structure which will add 125 limited service hotel units, parking garage, and the improvement of
curb appeal, and landscaping of the property. The additional rooms bring the property total to 314
overnight accommodations and increase parking spaces to 407.
The building height is at 98.67' above grade which is within the guidelines 50' below the maximum
guidelines. The building design is compatible in architectural detail with the existing building. The
new building will complement the surrounding buildings in color, height, bulk and architectural
style.
The property is located in the Clearwater Pass District which consists of similar uses along with
residential (condominiums) retail and restaurants, outdoor recreation and entertainment,
restaurant and attached dwelling units. The 440-450 West attached dwelling condominium towers
are located to the north of the subject property, and each tower is 157 feet in height The
properties to the east are developed with retail sales and services and restaurant uses. The Cit�s
Beach Walk project has been constructed transforming South Gulfview Boulevard to the north of
this site into a winding beachside promenade with lush landscaping, artistic touches and clear
views to Clearwater's beach.
The project will bring landscaping to current code and create a more attractive streetscape. The
immediate area is characterized by a variety of uses including overnight accommodation, reta
2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and
use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.

I. NARRATIVE
A. INTRODUCTION
Decade Gulf Coast Hotel Partners, LP is proposing to construct a Hotel Buiiding with covered
parking at 521 South Gulf View Drive; Parcel ID # 07-29-15-00000-220-0200) that will include a
storm water treatment vault with storm water infrastructure beneath the covered parking area,
landscaping, walkways and associated utility connections on a 4.82 Acres +/-parcel of land.
Decade Gulf Coast Hotel Partners, LP will be the Operation and Maintenance Entity and it will
be shown that the treatment requirements will satisfy the criteria for both the SWFWMD and
the City of Clearwater.
B. HISTORIC & EXISTING CONDITIONS
The 4.87 acre site located 5215outh Gulf View Drive currently contains an existing Hotel
Building, Conference Building and associated parking areas. The upland parcel area contains
approximately 3.90 acres of land and the submerged parcel area contains approximately 0.96
acres of land.
There is no existing storm water management system in place for storm water treatment.
Storm water runoff from the site is directed towards the property boundaries and flows off site
into the City of Clearwater street �ight of way and storm water system. There is also a storm
inlet connected to a 15" RCP that directs storm water run-off from the parking area located at
the north east side of the site into the Gulf of Mexico. The site does not contain existing
wetlands or surface waters.

C. PROPOSED CONDITIONS
Decade Gulf Coast Hotel Partners, LP is proposing to construct a Hotel Building with covered
parking at 521 South Gulf View Drive; Parcel ID # 07-29-15-00000-220-0200) that will include a
storm water treatment vault with storm water infrastructure beneath the covered parking area,
landscaping, walkways and associated utility connections on a 4.82 Acres +/-parcel of land.
The proposed impervious area is equal to the pre-development condition and starm water run-
off will be treated and directed into the Gulf of Mexico (See Grading Plan Sheet for Treatment
Volume Calculations).
The vault will be design with a 6" under drain which will allow the treatment volume to draw
down within 24 hours. A minimum of 96 L.F. of 6" perforated PVC pipe will be required to meet
the draw down time (See Ponds Calculations). All roof drainage will be directed into the vault
and a control structure will aliow overflow to be discharged into an existing 15 RCP that will
discharge into the Gulf of Mexico.
Closed Vautt:
City of Clearwater:
• Treatment Volume = 3/4" over the area of disturbance (Discharging into the Gulf of Mexico —
OFWj.
• Full treatment volume recovery within 24 hours — Modeled in PONDS V3.2.
• Meet 6" Freeboard Requirement.
SWFWMD:
• Drainage Exemption
D. CONCLUSION
The stormwater management systems have been designed to meet the treatment
requirements of the SWFWMD for a drainage exemptian and the treatment volume
requirements of the City of Clearwater.

521 Gulfview Bivd. I 2013
Attachment E
Beach by Design Criteria
521 Gulfview Bivd.
a) Density:
125 Rooms (See Exhibit "F")
b) Height & Separation:
100 Ft permissible in the "T" District. The aroposed desipn is 98.67' to top
of roof and 113.67' to top of inechanical, stair, and e/evator overruns. A �4'
penthouse heiQht.
c) Design, Scale and Mass of Building:
1. Buildings with a footprint of greater than 5000 square feet or a
single dimension of greater than one hundred (100) feet will be constructed
so that no more than two (2) of the three (3) building dimensions in the
vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. For this purpose, equal in
length means that the two lengths vary by less than forty (40%) of the
shorter of the two (2) lengths. The horizontal plan measurements relate to
the footprint of the building.
In the proposed buildinQ, no more than two of the three dimensions are
epual in len4th The three main buildinq dimensions varv bv Qreater than
the prescribed 40%.
2. No plane of a building may continue uninterrupted for greater
than one hundred linear feet (100'). For the purpose of this standard,
interrupted means an offset of greater than five feet (5').
None of the proposed buildina alanes continue more than 100' without an
offset of at least frve feet. P/ease see Sheet A2 1. At the _around /evel, the
buildin4 is an open Veranda, overlookinq the Pass and water slide. The
parkinq is shie/ded from the veranda. The outline of the buildin_q above,
showinq the steppinq is shown as dashed.
1 Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Bivd. I 2013
3. At least sixty percent (60%) of any elevation will be covered
with windows or architectural decoration. For the purpose of this standard,
an elevation is that portion of a building that is visible from a particular
point outside the parcel proposed for development.
Percenta4es of facade that consists of window or Architectura/ decoration:
North (Entnr) : 80%
West: 61 %
South: 81 %
East: * 76 %
* The east e/evation is Qartiallv occluded bv the existin_q buildin4. The 76%
excludes the covered portion of the east facade. Because of fire code
issues the openinqs in the buildinq facade direct/v between the buildinqs
has been kept to a minimum.
P/ease see Sheet A2-13A
4. No more than sixty percent (60%) of the theoretical maximum
building envelope located above forty-five feet (45') will be occupied by a
building. However, in those instances where an overnight accommodations
use on less than 2.0 acres that has been allocated additional density via the
Hotel Density Reserve, no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the
theoretical maximum building envelope located above forty-five feet (45')
may be occupied by a building unless the property is located between
Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico, then no more than 70% may be
occupied by a building.
The proposed desiqn and existinq buildinQ, occupies 28% of the buildab/e
volume (Over the entire site), above 45'. Please see Sheet A2-13B. This
Exhibit provides a Graphic and calcu/ated determination of the proposed
built envelope versus fhe theoretical maximum buildin_q envelope.
5. The height and mass of buildings will be co�related to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel proposed for development and (2)
adjacent public spaces such as streets and parks.
The proposed buildinq desiQn, p/acement and massina is related to the
adiacent properties as well as to the public street. The buildin_q provides
for a 15 foot setback to the public street and it presents a aredominantiv
open and activated face to the public. The street face is hi_qhlv decorated
and open, aresentinq a verv articu/ated face.
The East facade, adiacent to the existinq buildinq on the site, is stil/ verv
open, but is massed to feel included as part of the existin_q buildin_q. Also
the adiacencv to the existinar buildin4 shields and minimizes the main bulk
of the proposed buildina►.
2 Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
To address the condominium to the west the main tower is shaQed as an "L"
To the South, the massin_q is also minimized bv placinq the thinnest face of
the tower on this side as well as reducinp the mass of the buildinq bv
p/acin_q the open pool leve/ openin_q to the south. There are a/so rooms
overlookinq the Pass on this face.
6. Buildings may be designed for a verticai or horizontal mix of
permitting uses.
This building is designed wholly as a Hote/ but does include space for a
prospective retail / tenant space at the ground /evel. The proposed retail
spaces fal/ within the 15% allowab/e accessory uses.
The proposed buildinq is a Hotel, the desi_qn a/locates retail space on
South Gulfview Bou/evard facade at _qround /eve/ as we/l as the primanr
hotel entrance.
d) Setbacks & Stepbacks:
1. Rights-of-way.
The area between the building and the edge of the pavement as existing and
planned should be sufficiently wide to create a pedestrian-friendly environment.
The distances from structures to the edge of the right-of-way should be:
To create a pedestrian friendlv environment the buildin_q is set back the
required 15 feet. The sidewa/ks have been previouslv imaroved and we are
proposin4 to add a paved and landscaped plaza at the front of the buildin_q.
The plaza allows for seatinq, _qatherin_q and access to the tenant spaces
and Hote/ entrance, and arovides for differentiation between the pedestrian
realm and the vehicular Porte Cochere.
2. Side and Rear Setbacks
Except for the setbacks set forth above, no side or rear setback lines are
recommended, except as may be required to comply with the City's Fire Code.
While no setbacks are required, to the west, this proposa/ provides for a 15
foot setback to the property line and a 90 foot setback to the beach access
walk, and proposes a 28 foot rear setback,
The proposed desipn provides for a 15' side setback and a 22 foot, to
structure, setback from the seawall.

3. Coronado Drive Setbacks and Stepbacks.
To reduce upper story massing along the street and ensure a human scale street
environment, buildings using the hotel density reserve along Coronado Drive
shall be constructed in accordance with the following:
N/A:
a. Buildings constructed with a front setback greater
than or equal to ten feet (10') and less than fifteen
feet (15') shall stepback at a height not more than
twenty feet (20'). The required stepback/ setback
ratio is one and one-half feet (1.5') for every one
foot (1') reduction in setback in addition to the
minimum stepback of fifteen feet (15').
N/A,
b. Buildings constructed with a front setback of less
than ten feet (10') shall provide a building stepback
required stepback/ setback ratio is two and one-half
feet (2.5') for every one foot (1') reduction in setback in addition to the
minimum stepback of fifteen feet (15').
N/A
c. To achieve upper story facade variety and
articulation, additional stepbacks may be required.
To avoid a monotonous streetscape, a building
shall not replicate the stepback configuration of the
neighboring buildings including those across
rights-of-way.
N/A
d. Required stepbacks shall span a minimum of 75%
of the building frontage width.
N/A
e) Street-Level Facades
The human scale and aesthetic appeal of street-level
facades, and their relationship to the sidewalk, are essential to a
,� Finall0-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
pedestrian-friendly environment. Accordingly:
1. at least sixty percent (60%) of the street level facades of
buildings used for nonresidential purposes which abut a
public street or pedestrian access way, will be transparent.
For the purpose of this standard:
The aroQOSed street /evel facade of the buildinp is 80% transoarent. While
the North buildinQ face is avaroximatelv 160 feet lona, 3/5ths are dedicated
to retail fronta_ae and the remaininq 2/5ths is the Hote/ aorte cochere /
vehicular entrance.
a) street level facade means that portion of a building
facade from ground level to a height of twelve feet
� � 2')
b) transparent means windows or doors that allow
pedestrians to see into:
i. the building, or
ii. landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas,
where street level facades are set back at least
fifteen feet (15') from the edge of the sidewalk
and the area between the sidewalk and the
facade is a landscaped or hardscaped courtyard
As stated above, the commercia/ spaces and aarape arovide for direct
phvsical and visual access to the buildin_q from the sidewa/k. There is a
plaza with built in benches and planters aroQOSed for the vard area
immediatelv frontin_q the commercial spaces and hote/ entrance.
c) parking structures should utilize architectural
details and design elements such a false recessed
windows, arches, planter boxes, metal grillwork,
etc. instead of transparent alternatives. When a
parking garage abuts a public road or other public
place, it will be designed such that the function of
the building is not readily apparent except at points
of ingress and egress.
2. Window coverings, and other opaque materials may cover
no more than 10% of the area of any street-level window
in a nonresidential building that fronts on a public right-of way.
5 Final 10-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. � 2013
No more than 10% of the openings and windows shall be covered by
opaque materials.
3. Building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and
easily identified. Goods for sale will not be displayed outside of a building, except
as a permitted temporary use. This standard does not
apply to outdoor food service establishments.
The Hote/ entrance was brought to the street with and is within a two story
archway. The entry is direct/y connected to the vehic/e entry / Porte
Cochere with a glass wall overlooking the guest drop-off and cross access
drive within the building, The pedestrian experience is enhanced by the
retail storefronts with Bermuda shutter type awnings, a well differentiated
building entrance and awnings over the !wo automobile entry bays.
4. Awnings and other structures that offer pedestrians cover
from the elements are recommended. Awnings help define
entryways and provide storefront identity to both
pedestrians and drivers.
The entire first f/oor is accented with Bermuda Shutter stv/e awninqs as
wel! as the arcaded and recessed hotel entrance
f� Parking Areas
To create a well-defined and aesthetically appealing street
boundary, all parking areas will be separated from public rights of
way by a landscaped decorative wall, fence or other opaque
landscape treatment of not less than three feet (3') and not more
than three and one-half feet (3%2') in height. Surface parking areas
that are visible from public streets or other public places will be
landscaped such that the parking areas are defined more by their
landscaping materials than their paved areas when viewed from
adjacent property. The use of shade trees is encouraged in parking lots.
However, care should be taken to choose trees that do not drop excessive
amounts of leaves, flowers, or seeds on the vehicles below. Entrances to parking
areas should be clearly marked in order to avoid confusion and minimize
automobile-pedestrian
conflicts. Attractive signage and changes to the texture of the road (such as
pavers) are recommended. When a parking garage abuts a public road or other
public place, it will be designed such that the function of the building is
not readily apparent except at points of ingress and egress.
( Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
All parkinq within the new aroposed buildinq is shie/ded from view. We
shall Qrovide perimeter plantinp to shie/d and buffer the remaininq existina
suriace parkinQ.
g) Signage
Signage is an important contributor to the overall character
of a place. However, few general rules apply to signage.
Generally, signage should be creative, unique, simple, and
discrete. Blade signs, banners and sandwich boards should not be
discouraged, but signs placed on the sidewalk should not obstruct
pedestrian traffic.
Al/ siQnaQe for the proiect will be as per code and submitted for review and
permittin_q.
h) Sidewalks
Sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at
least ten feet (10') in width. All sidewalks along arterials and
retail streets will be landscaped with palm trees, spaced to a
maximum of thirty-five feet (35') on centers, with "clear grey" of
not less than eight feet (8'). Acceptable palm trees include sabal
palms (sabal palmetto), medjool palms (phoenix dactylifera
`medjool'), and canary island date palms (phoenix canariensis).
Sidewalks along side streets will be landscaped with palms (clear
trunk of not less than eight feet (8')) or shade trees, spaced at
maximum intervals of thirty-five feet (35') on centers.
Portions of required sidewalks may be improved for nonpedestrian
purposes including outdoor dining and landscape material, provided that:
1. movement of pedestrians along the sidewalk is not
obstructed; and
2. non-pedestrian improvements and uses are located on the
street side of the sidewalk. Distinctive paving patterns should be used to
separate
permanent sidewalk cafe improvements from the pedestrian space on the
sidewalk. To enhance pedestrian safety and calm traffic, distinctive paving
should also be used to mark crosswalks.
DESIGN RESPONSE:
The existinq sidewalk alon_q South Gu/fview is 10' wide with street trees
and decorative liqht po/es. The proposed entrance into the commercial
7 Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
spaces will include enhanced landscapinq, brick paver court area and
benches for pedestrians.
i) Street Furniture and Bicycle Racks
Street furniture, including benches and trash receptacles
should be liberally placed along the sidewalks, at intervals no
greater than thirty linear feet (30') of sidewalk. Bicycle racks
should also be provided, especially near popular destinations, to
promote transportation alternatives. Complicated bicycle rack
systems should be avoided. The placement of street furniture and
bicycle racks should not interrupt pedestrian traffic on the
sidewalk.
We are a/annin_a for a aedestrian friendlv forecourt at the front of the
commercia/ and hote/ entrance. The court shall inc/ude seatinp heiQht
ptanters and qrade walls, and bicvc/e racks. There are a/so two sets of
Bicvcle racks planned for within the Porte Cochere, at the NW corner of the
buildin_q.
j) Street Lighting
Street lighting should respond to the pedestrian-oriented
nature of a tourist destination. In this context, it should balance
the functional with the attractive — providing adequate light to
vehicular traffic, while simultaneously creating intimate spaces
along the sidewalks. Clearwater's historic lighting is an attractive,
single-globe fi�ure atop a cast-iron pole.
There is currentiv decorative street li_qhtin_q inplace a/onq South Gulfview
Blvd.
k) Fountains
Fountains provide attractive focal points to public spaces
and add natural elements to urban environments. They should be
interesting, engaging and unique. While it is important not to
overburden architectural creativity regarding fountains, they
should meet at least the following standards in order to be a
functional and attractive component of the public space:
1. They should be supplemented with street furniture such as
benches and trash receptacles, and
2. They should have rims that are:
g Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
a. Tall enough to limit unsupervised access by small
children, and
b. Wide enough to permit seating.
Fountains should be encouraged in landscaped and
hardscaped courtyards and plazas.
N/A
L. Materials and Colors
1. Facades
Finish materials and building colors will reflect Florida or
coastal vernacular themes. All awnings should contain at
least three (3) distinct colors. Bright colors will be limited
to trims and other accents. Glass curtain walls are prohibited.
The co/or palate of the buildinQ is proposed to be in the o/d F/orida "F/a_a/er"
stvle, paste/s and white trims. P/ease see the buildin_q e%vations for
specific stucco co/ors.
2. Sidewalks
Sidewalks will be constructed of:
a. Pavers;
b. Patterned, distressed, or special aggregate concrete;
or
c. Other finished treatment that distinguishes the
sidewalks from typical suburban concrete sidewalks.
Materials should be chosen to minimize the cost and complexity
of maintenance.
The sidewa/ks and plaza are proposed to be of concrete pavers, in co/ors
to coordinate with the buildina.
3. Street Furniture
Street furniture will be constructed of low-maintenance
materials, and will be in a color that is compatible with its
surroundings.
The street furniture, consistinar of seatinq heiqht alanters and site walls,
shall be stucco, coordinatinq with the buildinq co/ors.:
9 Fina110-30-13
521 Gulfview Blvd. I 2013
4. Color Palette
A recommended palette for building colors is presented
on the following page.
As mentioned above, the stucco co/ors proposed for the buildinQ shall be
"Old Florida" pastel colors, compatib/e with the beach vernacular.:

All
Please see the email below that I received from Michael Delk following the city attorney's review of our
termination of non-conformity for the units that we are now requesting for the new project. Michael
clearly states we have a valid Development Order (which is for 189 hotel units and 75 condos which we
are not converting to 125 hotel rooms).

FYI. We appear to have reached a legally consistent conclusion that the project may move forward
based on the retention of a valid DO .

Subject: A04-01420: Development Order Validity: 521 S. Gulfview
I have reviewed the information contained in the above Request for Legal Services as well as the
following:
-Current and former versions of Community Development Code Section 6-109;
-Development Orders dated 1/20/05 [FLD2004-04025/TDR2004-09011], 12/28/05 [same case numbers],
and 5/16/07 [FLD2007-03008];
-Correspondence dated 4/5/06 concerning FLD2004-04025/TDR2004-09011;
-Emails between Planning and Mr. Burdette concerning the development approvals.
In my opinion it would be a reasonable legal position to take that the new construction for overnight
accommodations may proceed to permitting based upon the continued validity of the Development
Order(s) approving the original units and the reiteration of such approval in FLD2007-03008.
I am assuming that the 77-unit figure representing the approved attached dwelling units is the correct
number. Mr. Burdette mentions that those 77 units translate into 128 overnight accommodation units.
I cannot confirm that figure at this time; however, Planning should use normal calculation procedures to
determine the appropriate number of overnight accommodation units.
Please let me know if there is anything further needed regarding this project.
