This provision does not apply to an individual who receives HOME funds to acquire or rehabilitate his or her principal residence or to an employee or agent of the Provider who occupies a housing unit as the project manager or maintenance worker. The City may provide an exception to the provisions listed above on a case-by-case basis when the City determines that the exception will serve to further the purposes of the HOME program and the effective and efficient administration of the Provider’s HOME assisted project. In order for the City to provide this exception, the Provider must make a written request and the City will make its determination based on the following factors: a. Whether the person receiving the benefit is a member of a group or class of low-income persons intended to be the beneficiaries of the assisted housing, and the exception will Attachment number 1 \nPage 9 of 15 Item # 5 10 permit such person to receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being made available or provided to the group; b. Whether the person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the decision-making process with respect to the specific assisted housing in question; c. Whether the tenant protection requirements of Section 92.53 are being observed; d. Whether the affirmative marketing requirements of Section 92.351 are being observed and followed; and e. Any other factor relevant to the City’s determination, including the timing of the requested exception. 8.

Flood Insurance: In the event that properties are located in a Flood Zone, this Agreement is predicated upon the Provider certifying that either the cost of rehabilitation necessary to meet all applicable codes and standards does not exceed 50 percent of the appraised value of the property improvements, or that the lowest habitable floor level is at or above the allowable flood level based upon a valid survey, prepared by a licensed surveyor. If projects can be financed with HOME Investment Partnership entitlement funds as a result of compliance with either of these requirements, buyers shall maintain flood insurance for full replacement value as required by mortgagees. 10. Lobbying Prohibited: The Provider certifies, to the best of its knowledge or belief, that: a. No federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the Provider, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the making of any federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. b.

(consent) SUMMARY: On August 28, 2013, the City’s Economic Development and Housing Department released a Request for Applications (RFA) for projects seeking a local government contribution to apply for the Fiscal Year 2013-14 State of Florida Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC). The City received five proposals on September 19, 2013. Four applications were delivered timely and one application was delivered after the 4:30pm published deadline. The selection committee, made up of Economic Development and Housing and Planning and Development staff, met and ranked the applications through its published ranking process. The ranking criteria and total score spreadsheet is attached. The committee ranked the projects in the following order: 1)      Garden Trail Apartments, by Southport Development, 76 units-family (Garden Ave. and Eldridge St.) 2)      Prospect Park Apartments, by Atlantic Housing Partners, 95 units-family (Laura St. and MLK Ave.) 3)      Heritage at Cleveland, by NuRock Development Partners, 75 units-elderly (Cleveland and Madison) 4)    Vista City View, by NuRock Development Partners, 60 units-family (Myrtle and Pierce) ***Prospect Lake Reserve, by Sunshine Development Group, 64 units-family (MLK Ave. and Pierce St.); Application was disqualified  due to not meeting published deadline. The top recommended project is Garden Trail Apartments and consists of 76 one, two and three-bedroom units located in five buildings that will serve the family demographic. Some of the amenities in the project include a swimming pool, clubhouse, grill area and playground. Resident programs will include after-school programs for children, employment assistance counseling, and literacy training. The subject site is located at the northeast and southeast corners of Garden Avenue and Eldridge Street in the North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. The proposed development team is Southport Development, Inc. (Developer), Vaughn Bay Construction, Inc. (Contractor), and Architectonics Studio (Architect) who has successfully worked together on the development of more than 10 affordable housing communities over the past 5 years. The estimated total development cost is $11.5 million. Staff is recommending a funding commitment to Garden Trail as the top-ranked project using $75,000 from General Fund Reserves and/other Housing Division funds if available at the time of project award. According to LIHTC program rules, only one project per Large County will be funded for development through this tax credit cycle. Staff does not recommend commitments to the second, third, fourth-ranked and disqualified projects. While the second-ranked project proposed a mixed-income and mixed-use project, the breakout of 80% affordable and 20% market rate does not meet the goal of the CRA to increase family incomes in this area. In addition, a higher density project that encompassed the entire site is desired. As proposed, the project only covers approximately half of the site. The third and fourth-ranked project, and the disqualified project, all proposed only low-income housing on their sites with no mixed- income components. These projects did not meet the overarching policy perspective, that a mixed-income project (both market rate and affordable units) is preferred in the Downtown Core, Town Lake Business, and Town Lake Residential Character Districts to create a strong market to support the retail/restaurant, technology workforce, and event recruitment efforts in the Cleveland Street District (Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan). Staff would not recommend any incentives to build LIHTC-type projects at these locations. The application period for the LIHTC Program for Large Counties (Duval/Hillsborough/Orange/Pinellas) opened on September 19 with applications due October 30, 2013. The final board approval is scheduled for December 13, 2013. If no City of Clearwater projects are funded, the commitment for General Fund Reserves would be released. As background, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program is governed by the U.S. Department of Treasury under Section 252 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The program was established to provide for-profit Cover Memo Item # 6 and non-profit organizations with a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal tax liability in exchange for the acquisition and substantial rehabilitation or new construction of low and very low-income rental housing units (60% of the Area Median Income and below with a set aside for 40% of AMI and below). In this application cycle, the minimum value of contributions required from a government agency for a Tax Credit Program application to receive the maximum points is $75,000. It is the city’s understanding that in order to meet this requirement, the local government needs to make a commitment to each project they are supporting.

(consent) SUMMARY: The Department desires purchasing a heavy-duty front line pumper (engine) to replace Engine 47, purchased in 1999, and moving the current Engine 47 to the reserve fleet to maintain required reserve units. The full price for one fire engine is $519,752.00. The manufacturer has offered a discount of $16,000 if paid for in full at time of order. The department desires to take advantage of this discount. A performance bond has been provided. The current CIP project 91218, Fire Engine Replacement, has $528,680 of Penny III funding available. The City will be reimbursed by the County for a portion of the purchase, approximately 11%, as the vehicle will support fire operations in the unincorporated areas of the Clearwater Fire District. The Department has determined the Pierce Heavy Duty Velocity Pumper built by Pierce Manufacturing meets the operational needs of the Department. Estimated annual operating costs in the department’s annual operating budget include fuel and routine garage charges for operating the new vehicle. Garage charges on the new vehicle are expected to be less than on the replaced vehicle. This purchase is a piggyback of Lake County Contract 08-0803. The Pierce fire engine is the City of Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department standard for the purpose of training and maintenance. Custom components have been added to meet the needs of the fire district and surrounding municipalities. Warranty: Limited 1 year warranty for 12 months free of defects in material and workmanship; 3 year warranty on the Impel/Velocity custom chassis; lifetime on chassis frame crossmembers, Imp/Vel; 5 year on EVS transmission; 5 years on command zone components, Chassis, Vel/Impel/Qtm/AXT; lifetime on UPF and water tank; 5 years on waterous (pump); 10 year on S/S plumbing and standard paint; 10 yrs or 100,000 on vehicle cab and body; and 5 year or 100,000 mile warranty on engine provided by Cummins. Maintenance: Ten-8 Fire Equipment, Inc., a full service apparatus repair facility, will perform all of the warranty work. Our City’s General Services Division will perform routine maintenance and testing. Annual pump testing will be performed by our Logistics Bureau in accordance with NFPA standards. Any additional repairs can be contracted through Ten-8 at an additional cost per their service fee schedule. A heavy-duty velocity pumper provides exceptional pumping water capability, enhanced storage capability, lower vehicle profile and will significantly up-grade the abilities of the engine it replaces. The proposal for fire apparatus conforms to all Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) rules and regulations in effect at the time of bid and with all National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Guidelines for Automotive Fire Apparatus as published at the time of bid, except as modified by customer specifications. Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001. The apparatus will meet the current NFPA 1901 recommendations and will maintain design and operational features consistent with the department’s needs.

(consent) SUMMARY: For plan year 2013, the City modified its medical insurance from a fully-insured arrangement to a partial self-insured arrangement with a one-year contract for third-party administrative services to be provided by Cigna Healthcare. The City’s Agent of Record, the Gehring Group, provided an actuarially supported renewal based on the City’s claims trending and projected an increase of 8.9% in funding of the plan would be necessary to meet the claims and administrative cost obligations of the plan while maintaining the plan design in effect for 2013. The proposed renewal would continue to incorporate the requirement of employee participation in a Personal Health Assessment through the City’s Employee Health Center in order to receive an incentive in the form of a richer schedule of benefits. The City’s Benefits Committee voted unanimously to recommend to City Council that the proposed plan design, rates, and Personal Health Assessment requirement be maintained and that Cigna be retained as administrator of the City’s account for 2014. Staff concurs with the Benefits Committee recommendations. The cost of implementing this plan option would result in an increase to the City’s contribution of an estimated $1,093,000, or 7.9%, for calendar year 2014 versus the prior year. The total estimated calendar year 2014 cost would be approximately $15.65 million ($12.13 million City share, $3.52 million employee/retiree/cobra share). For fiscal year 2014, the City has budgeted $11,096,000 for approximately 1,483 full time positions for the City’s share of medical insurance coverage. The City’s estimated share of actual expenses for fiscal year 2014 per this recommendation is estimated at $11,879,000. The difference of $783,000 would be funded from Central Insurance Fund reserves per this recommendation. This recommendation maintains the current funding strategy for City contributions to health care premiums representing 100% of the cost for Employee Only, 75% of the cost for Employee plus One, and 68% of the cost for Employee plus Family coverage.

(consent) SUMMARY: According to City Council Policy, Item M, Special Event Fees, there shall be an annual review of City sponsored/co-sponsored events during the budget process. An agenda item approving co-sponsorship and level of support for these events is brought before the City Council at the beginning of the budget process each fiscal year. In the event additional money is requested beyond what is included in the approved budget, City Council approval will be needed. NAVRA sponsors and conducts events that will bring 31 rescue teams (6 - 8 members per team) and 15 two-person trauma teams from 20 countries to compete and challenge their skills in freeing trapped victims in mock vehicle accidents. NAVRA (Special Event Permit 14-011) has requested that the City co-sponsor this event and provide in-kind costs totaling $33,328.04. Approximately $8,155 of in-kind services come from waiver of fees and other services already budgeted for and available for this event. In addition, $25,173.04 is needed to support the following departments since these funds were not included in the Fiscal Year 2013/14 operating budget. Fire Department: $4,140.00 Parking: No anticipated fees Parks and Recreation: $19,252.80 Police Department: $370.64 Risk Management: No anticipated fees Special Events: $1,409.60 Funding for this event will be provided by a first quarter budget amendment allocating General Fund reserves in the amount of $25,173.04. The balance in General Fund reserves is approximately $18 million, or 15.7% of the 2013/14 General Fund operating budget.

(consent) SUMMARY: Since 2000, the City has received funding from JWB Children’s Services Council to provide after school and summer programming for youth in Clearwater. Once again, the City has been awarded funding for youth programming for Fiscal Year 13/14 from Coordinated Child Care, which is the administrative service agency used by JWB to distribute and oversee these funds. Rather than funding a set amount for the program, this Agreement will pay $17.16 per child, per day. The rate increased from $13.26 last year since we are now licensed by the Pinellas County Licensing Board. From past history, this will amount to approximately $175,000 per year and serve approximately 100 youths that meet the program criteria. A first quarter budget amendment for $175,000 will be made to 181-99872. Charting a Course for Youth is a program developed to nurture youngsters at the Clearwater neighborhoods in which youth need the most direction. The program leaders have developed a safe haven for community youth ages 9 - 14 at Ross Norton and North Greenwood Recreation Complexes.

The stations included the presentation of:  Proposed Park Classifications  Cloud-Storming  Level of Service for Outdoor Facilities  Neighborhood Park Prioritization  General Comments  Testimonies   Participants had the opportunity to understand the importance of Parks and Recreation in context to our greater community, while commenting and assessing current conditions. Staff members at each station explained the topic information, answered questions and encouraged comments. Demographics    Approximately 110 individuals participated in the community workshops. Of these, an estimated 80% are direct residents of Clearwater (based on Zip-code information) with most of the remaining participants coming from the adjacent areas of Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor and East Lake (See Appendix A) . The majority of participants (56%) were in the age range 60+. 29% of participants were between the ages of 30-50, and 15% were under the age of 30. Station 1: Welcome  The first station provided an introduction to the Community Workshop.

Several maps were on display portraying the city’s demographics, the system- wide map of facilities, the park listing by classification, and park coverage maps. The participants were asked to fill out a form regarding their agreement/disagreement with the proposed park classifications. The majority of respondents (75%) either “strongly agree” or “agree” with the current classification. 15% of respondents had a neutral position and only 10% “disagreed” or “strongly disagreed with the current park classification standards. This station also distributed a user survey to gather participant’s perspectives and preferences with regards to parks and recreation.

The results from this survey are summarized in Appendix B. Station 3: Cloud Storming      This station displayed a series of posters with empty “cloud” diagrams. The participants were asked to write in these “clouds” what they liked the most about Clearwater Parks and Recreation, either with just a word or a listing of a couple of items. Common comments from this activity include Healthy living/Fun/ Green Space/ Outdoors/ Nature/ Beach/ Sports/Exercise/ Events. Station 4: How do we Measure to  National and State Standards  This station displayed a series of posters with information on the National Standards and Guidelines for Parks and Recreation facilities, and compared them with the facilities that are currently provided in Clearwater. The participants were informed of these guidelines and were asked to provide information on what facilities they considered to be the more important, being mindful of what is relevant and specific to the community. This information was gathered in order to understand whether there are any gaps or surpluses. The facilities selected as the most important to be provided by Clearwater Parks and Recreation, were Community Centers, Playgrounds, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Trails. 34% 41% 15% 5%5% Figure 1. Respondents attitudes toward  current Park Classifications Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Strongly Disagree Attachment number 6 \nPage 4 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Community Action September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 5 The facilities selected as least important by a majority of respondents were Golf courses and Equestrian Trails (See Figure 2 on page 7).

Attachment number 6 \nPage 11 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 2  Senior adults were deemed an “essential” group to serve by over half of the survey respondents, with 81% considering them at least “very important”.  Teenagers were also deemed an “essential” group to serve by over half of survey respondents, with 88% considering them at least “very important.”  Children aged 6 to 12 years, people with disabilities, adults and families together as a group were the populations considered the next most important, with over 70% of respondents feeling these groups were at least very important to serve.  Children 0-5 years were considered at least “very important” by only 47% of respondents  Non-residents do not appear to be a priority as only 27% of respondents considered the at least “very Important”  Beginner (60%) and intermediate level programming (58%) was considered somewhat more important than was advanced or elite programming (44%). The questionnaire asked about the importance placed on some of the specific community events sponsored by the Clearwater Parks and Recreation Department. The top five events considered “essential” or very important to a majority of the respondents are:  Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training (65%)  Turkey Trot (62%)  Jazz Holiday (61%)  Clearwater Celebrates America (60%)  Clearwater Fun N' Sun Festival Weekend (59%) The importance of various benefits provided by Clearwater’s parks were rated by respondents. The proportion rating each as “very important” or “essential” was: (Top three)  Providing places for children to play on playground equipment, 78%  Providing a place for rest and relaxation, 74%  Providing open lawn/play space (for children or adults to play their own games like tag, frisbee, croquet, etc.), 74%  Providing visual "green spaces" within the city, 73%  Providing opportunities for court sports (e.g., tennis, basketball), 70%  Providing developed spaces for field sports (e.g., soccer, football, softball, baseball, lacrosse), 68%  Providing a place to walk or jog within the city, 68%  Providing natural open lands or wildlife habitat within the city, 63%  Providing places for group gathering, 62% Those participating in the survey were given a series of pairs of statements from which they were to choose the one that best represented how they felt. Attachment number 6 \nPage 12 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 3  There was great support for parks and recreation to be run following a human services model, which was chosen by 91% of respondents, over a business model choice in which parks and recreation would serve people who can afford to pay for the services through user fees.  Three quarters of respondents felt that program offerings should be offered at many different levels from beginner through advanced, as opposed to being concentrated at the beginning and intermediate levels.  Over half of the respondents considered it more important to make facilities mostly available for drop-in use, while about 38% thought facilities should mostly be programmed with leagues and other pre-planned activities.  Over half of the respondents believed the recreational programs provided by the City should include some diverse offerings while about 38% believed they should focus mostly on popular sports and fitness.  Close to one half (49%) of respondents thought the city should provide facilities and programs identified as needed by residents, even if they are provided by other agencies. However, a large percentage (44%) thinks it is better to provide facilities that only compliment other community offerings, not duplicate them (even if requested by residents).  When considering budget reductions, almost half of respondents preferred that the City maintain all existing facilities and programs while reducing levels of service, instead of eliminating some programs and facilities while keeping the remaining programs and facilities at existing service levels.  A majority (63%) of respondents thought that the landscaping in public spaces should be beautifully maintained in order to ensure a high quality of life, as opposed to landscaped in a way that requires minimally maintenance.  A majority of respondents (58%) believe playgrounds should serve the entire community, have more play equipment, and diverse options for all ages, as opposed to playgrounds serving a neighborhood, with limited equipment and focus on serving ages 2-5.  Over half of the respondents believe lighting of courts should be at both neighborhoods and special use facilities, instead of just in neighborhood parks (10%) or recreational centers (28%).  68% of respondents believe special events at Coachman Park should be larger events that bring in economic development instead of smaller events that serve primarily residents (20%), or eliminating all special events at the park (4%).  Over half of respondents believe programs and facilities should serve our current demographic profile (large majority of older residents), as opposed to focusing on attracting younger families (24%). The survey was used to assess resident use of a variety of parks and recreation offerings. For each activity or facility, respondents indicated whether, in the last year, they or anyone in their household had participated in the activity at a City of Clearwater park or facility, or at another facility. There were five activities in which a majority of respondent households had participated in at a City of Clearwater park or facility in the past year. These were:  Participated in a community event  Walked, ran or jogged in a park or nature park Attachment number 6 \nPage 13 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 4  Swam, fished, relaxed or had a social event at a beach  Attended an event at a Ruth Eckerd Hall.  Attended an event at Brighthouse Networks Field In addition, respondents rated how important they thought it was that the City of Clearwater provide various parks and facilities. In general, the participation levels for the various activities mirrored the importance ratings. There were a few notable exceptions; while a relatively smaller percent of respondents had participated in Adult/ Senior exercise, fitness or wellness programs (~24%), around three quarters of respondent considered at least “very important” that the city provides these programs. Residents’ Perspectives on Funding Parks and Recreation in Clearwater  Several question sets were included on the questionnaire to determine the community’s support for or opposition to a variety of funding options for parks and recreation offerings by the City. When asked to what extent they agreed that the City of Clearwater should pursue a variety of funding strategies, the percent who “somewhat” or “strongly” agreed the City of Clearwater should pursue such strategies was:  The City should supplement the costs of operating facilities or recreation programs by using different revenue sources, such as grants, donations, and taxes, (86% and 83% respectively)  Individuals living outside Clearwater should pay higher fees for participating in recreation programs, 79%  Profitable or popular programs (such as sports leagues and swimming lessons) can help pay for less profitable programs (such as therapeutic, senior and youth programs), 72% The idea that recreation programs must pay for themselves through user fees, did not show strong support (Only 44%). Preferences for Options to Reduce the Parks and Recreation Budget  A section of the questionnaire informed recipients that the City of Clearwater, due to global economics and the passage of Amendment 1 to lower property taxes in the State of Florida, is facing tough economic challenges and will have to make difficult budget decisions. A set of options for reducing the Parks and Recreation budget were presented, for which survey respondents indicated their level of support for or opposition to each. Of the 11 budget reduction options, only “Reducing landscape maintenance in areas such as medians” showed support by a majority of respondents (51%). Other reductions showing some support from at least 40% of respondents are:  Eliminating some community events  Reducing the operating hours of recreational facilities  Eliminating some athletic fields  Reducing cultural programs The options opposed by over 70% of respondents included:  Reducing programs that serve senior adults Attachment number 6 \nPage 14 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 5  Closing one of the recreational facilities,  Reducing beach maintenance.  Allowing other entities to operate city facilities  Reducing park maintenance Attachment number 6 \nPage 15 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 6 REPORT OF RESULTS  Survey Background  Parks and recreation facilities, programs and services are an important part of Clearwater’s quality of life. As part of the 2013 strategic planning process, five community workshops were conducted on August 21, 22, 28, September 3 and 4, 2013 at each recreation center in the city. During these workshops, the participants were asked to complete a survey to understand their perspectives and preferences with regards to parks and recreation. A total of 104 individuals participated in the survey. The survey contains similar questions that were administered in a mail-in survey commissioned by the city of Clearwater in 2009, and will serve as the model for another mail-in survey of Clearwater households that will be commissioned during the last trimester of 2013. On many of the questions in the survey, respondents could answer, “don’t know.” The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in the Appendix. The percentage of questions left blank or with invalid responses are also included in the Appendix. When a table for a question does not total to exactly 100%, it is due to the customary practice of percentages being rounded to the nearest whole number. Attachment number 6 \nPage 16 of 54 Item # 12 Parks and Recreation Survey September 2013 Report of Results (2013-09) Page 7 Community Priorities for Parks and Recreation   Purpose of Clearwater Parks and Recreation  A variety of purposes can be served by parks and recreation offerings. Those completing the survey were asked to what extent they agreed or disagreed with a series of statements about possible overarching goals for the City of Clearwater’s Parks and Recreation Department. There was strong agreement with most of the objectives presented (see Figure 1 on the next page), but the two statements with the most support were to provide opportunities for residents to maintain and improve their physical health” and “to provide positive activities for children and teens (age 19 and younger)”. Over 58% of respondents strongly agreed with the statements that Clearwater Parks and Recreation should exist “to provide recreational, social and health strengthening opportunities for older adults (age 60 and older)”, and “to provide green and natural spaces within the community with park lands and open space”. Over half of the respondents agree the Clearwater Parks and Recreation should “enhance the community’s economic vitality by offering special events and amateur athletic tournaments”, “to provide recreational opportunities to underserved residents” and “to provide greater mobility with trails and paths to use for exercise and non-motorized transportation”. Providing a beautiful community and a sense of place, and providing opportunities for residents to make social connections also received high affirmation, with about 5 in 10 respondents “strongly” agreeing with these purposes for parks and recreation offerings. Maintaining the community’s image as a beach resort destination, as an athletic sports town destination and providing greater cultural opportunities to increase the city’s livability were positively viewed as purposes for Clearwater’s parks and recreation, but the support was less strong than for other purposes. After rating their agreement with the twelve purpose statements, respondents were asked to indicate which two statements they felt were the most important. Figure 2 displays the percent of respondents indicating which statements they felt were the most important alongside the percent of respondents who had strongly agreed with each statement. In general, the rank order was fairly similar, although a few discrepancies were noted when respondents were only allowed to choose two statements as the most important. The three statements chosen most often as one of their top choices by respondents were “to provide opportunities for residents to maintain and improve their physical health,” “to provide positive activities for children and teens (age 19 and younger),” and “to provide recreational, social and health strengthening opportunities for older adults (age 60 and older)”.

Senior adults and teenagers were deemed an “essential” group to serve by over half of survey respondents, with over 80% considering them at least “very important.” Children aged 6 to 12 years, adults, people with disabilities and families together as a group were the populations considered the next most important, with over 70% of respondents feeling these groups were at least very important to serve. Pre-school children were given a lower importance rating than were other groups. Very few respondents (27%) deemed non-residents an important group to consider when planning recreational programs. Beginner (60%) and intermediate level programming (58%) was considered somewhat more important than was advanced or elite programming (44%).

Wellness and Fitness programs were considered “very important” or “essential” by over 80% of respondents (see Figure 4 below). Community events, Sports teams and lessons and Aquatics were also given high priority, with over two thirds rating them as “very important” or “essential.” The activities considered least important gymnastics and golf , both with only 32% of respondents considering them “very important” or essential. When asked to indicate which two activities they would give the highest priority, a similar pattern was observed (see Figure 5 on the next page). Wellness/ fitness were chosen as a one of their top two choices by 53% of respondents, with 35% choosing community events. Sports and aquatics were chosen by over 21% of respondents.

As noted above, these events are deemed important by a large proportion of residents. The questionnaire asked about the importance placed on some of the specific events sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department. Six events were considered “very important” or “essential” by over half of those completing the survey (see Figure 6); they included Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training, Clearwater Threshers, Turkey Trot, Jazz Holiday, the Clearwater Fun N’ Sun Weekend and Clearwater Celebrates America. Most other events received moderate support ( 38%-51% considering them at least “very important”). The event receiving the least support was “Trirocks” which was considered important by less than 25% of the respondents. When asked to choose which three events they thought were most important, the three most commonly selected were the Clearwater Fun N’ Sun Weekend, Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training and the Turkey Trot. None of the respondents considered TriRocks as amongst the three most important events (see Figure 7 on the next page).

Various benefits provided by Clearwater’s parks were presented to those completing the questionnaire; the importance of each to the respondent household was rated. The purposes deemed most important to respondents were to provide a place for children to play on playground equipment (78% rated this as at least “very important, see Figure 8); to provide a place for rest and relaxation and to provide open lawn/play space (74% each). More than 65% considered parks important for providing visual “green spaces” within the city, providing places to walk or jog, , and providing developed spaces for field sports. Court sports and group gatherings were deemed at least very important by over 50% of respondents. The two items considered not as important were to provide places to exercise pets (39%) and to provide annual flower plantings (35%).

Those participating in the survey were given a series of pairs of statements from which they were to choose the one that best represented how they felt. The first pair of statements dealt with the overarching philosophy of the parks and recreation department, and whether it should be considered a human service (and therefore offer limited services funded primarily through tax dollars) or whether it should be considered a business (and therefore offer more services funded primarily through fees). There was overwhelming support for the human (see Figure 9 on the next page). Three-fourths of respondents felt that program should be offered at many different levels from beginner to very advanced, as opposed to being concentrated at the beginning and intermediate levels. About 54% considered it more important to make facilities more available for drop-in use, while about 38% thought facilities should mostly be programmed with leagues and other pre-planned activities. About 56% believed the recreational programs provided by the City should include some diverse offerings while about 39% believed they should be more focused on popular sports and fitness. Nearly one half of respondents thought the city should provide the facilities and programs identified as needed by residents even if they are provided by other agencies. When considering budget reductions, there is slight preference (49%) for maintaining all existing facilities and programs while reducing levels of service, compared to eliminating some programs and facilities (38%) while keeping the remaining programs and facilities at existing service levels. A majority (63%) of respondents thought that the landscaping in public spaces should be “beautifully maintained” in order to ensure a high quality of life, as opposed to landscaped in a way that requires minimal maintenance. In general, respondents believe it is important for playgrounds to serve the entire community, have more play equipment and diverse options for children of all ages. Similarly, respondents believe Recreation Centers should serve the entire community, be large in size and have a wide range of activities. Most respondents believe restrooms should be located mostly at special use facilities and athletic sports complexes, instead of being expanded to all neighborhoods and parks. However the support is not overwhelmingly strong (only 48%). Over half of respondents believe it is important to lit courts at night at both Recreational Centers and Neighborhood Parks. With regards to Coachman Park, a substantial majority (67%) of respondents would like to see larger events that attract visitors and bring in economic development, as opposed to smaller events serving residents or eliminating all events in efforts to save money. Over half of respondents consider it is more important to offer programs and facilities to our current demographic profile (2nd highest median age in the United States) as opposed to programs that attract younger families.

Respondents indicated whether, in the last year, they or anyone in their household had participated in any of the indicated activities at a City of Clearwater facility, or at facility outside the City. Figure 10 displays the proportion of respondents whose households had participated in the activity in the previous year. After indicating their participation in the various activities, respondents evaluated the importance of offering each to the community through the City of Clearwater’s Parks and Recreation Department. These ratings are displayed in Figure 11 on page 21. There were five activities in which a majority of respondent households had participated in within the City of Clearwater. These were: participating in a community event; walking, running or jogging in a park or nature park; swimming, fishing, relaxing or having a social event at a beach; and attending an event at a Ruth Eckerd Hall or at BrightHouse Network Field. In general, the participation levels for the various activities mirrored the importance ratings. The areas given the highest importance ratings were also the sites of the most popular activities. Some exceptions include Playgrounds, which were used by only 41% of respondents, but were rated as very important or essential by over 70% of respondents. Other notable exceptions include Adult/ Senior exercise fitness or wellness programs which are rated as important by over 75% but which show participation rates of under 25%.

A large majority of respondents supported the idea of the City supplementing the cost of operating facilities and recreational programs by using different revenue sources such as grants, donations and taxes (80%<) (Figure 12). Over 70% of respondents support the idea of charging higher fees to individuals living outside Clearwater for participating in recreation programs, as well as using profitable programs such as sports leagues, to pay for less profitable ones. In addition, when asked what proportion of funding for operating costs of facilities and programs should come from taxes versus fees, most of those completing the survey felt that taxes should pay for the majority of the operating costs (63%). Few respondents (10%) felt that taxes should pay for 100% of the operating costs. Little support was shown for the idea that recreation programs must pay for themselves exclusively through user fees (2%). (Figure 13).

A set of options for reducing the Parks and Recreation budget were presented, for which survey respondents indicated their level of support for or opposition to each. They were then asked to indicate what their top two choices would be for budget reductions. The preferences for budget reductions obtained in this survey parallel the results from the 2009 mail in survey. In general, there is a lack of support for any budget reduction. Of the 11 budget reduction options, only “Reducing landscape maintenance in areas such as medians” was supported by the majority of respondents (51%).Other options supported by over 40% of the respondents include eliminating some athletic fields, reducing cultural programs, eliminating some community events, and reducing the operating hours of recreational facilities (see Figure 14).These options were also the ones most likely to be chosen when asked for the top two choices for reductions (see Figure 15 on the next page).

SUMMARY: An amendment to the Community Development Code that will transition, from mandatory to voluntary, participation in the Public Art Program for private development projects that equal or exceed an Aggregate Job Value of $5 million dollars ($5,000,000). There is a history of private development projects voluntarily investing in public artwork that predates the City Council’s adoption of the Public Art and Design Program. Staff is comfortable that voluntary participation in public art will continue. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Community Development Code be amended to make the private developer participation in the Public Art Program voluntary. Development projects that wish to forgo the installation of public artwork, yet still wish to contribute to the City’s cultural capital, will be encouraged to donate to the City’s Public Art Fund, which is used to enhance existing City Capital Improvement Project (CIP) allocations for public artwork and to support Special Initiative projects that are not funded through CIP allocations. The City’s appropriation of CIP funds for public art will continue with no amendments or modifications. The City will continue to assist developers with the identification and commission of public artists for public art installations. The Community Development Board unanimously approved the proposed amendments to the Community Development Code at its September 17, 2013 meeting. Public Art and Design Program Guidelines will be amended by the Public Art and Design Board at its December 11, 2013 board meeting.

(consent) SUMMARY: Staff is requesting that Blanket Purchase Order BR 506827 be renewed to Grosz Construction Co., Inc. of Tampa, FL who was the lowest most responsive bidder (Bid 24-10) for concrete sidewalks and flatwork in 2010. With over 100 parks in the city, there is a steady supply of minor work projects needed to repair sidewalks and bike paths in parks, construct and repair bleacher pads, dugouts and flatwork at ballfields and parks. It is difficult and time consuming to get quotes and/or bids for each small project and staff finds better pricing by going with larger contracts/BPO’s. Any large construction project that exceeds the $50,000 limit will be bid out separately according to current City policy and if over $100,000, brought before the Council for approval. Grosz Construction Co., Inc. has been very responsive to the City’s needs this past year and after researching current costs for concrete work, staff discovered that the original bid price is still very competitive and lower than the competition. This is the third and final year that this Blanket Purchase order can be renewed. Funding for this BPO will come from a variety of operating and Capital Improvement codes in the Parks and Recreation Department.

(consent) SUMMARY: The Parks and Recreation Department organizes field trips requiring bus transportation for participants. The Pinellas County School System (PCSS) allows municipalities to utilize their fleet of buses and drivers for $1.25 per mile plus $26.50 per hour for driver with a five-hour booking minimum. During the summer of 2014, the department will organize approximately 130 field trips that may utilize school bus transportation. Comparing a sampling cost of school buses for these trips against the use of private bus lines indicates school buses are a less costly mode of transportation, in most cases. During the past year the Department utilized the school buses for field trips at a cost of approximately $25,000, with the per mile and per hour charge the same as proposed in this agreement. Approval of this Agreement will provide staff with a larger number of options when determining the most cost effective source of transportation for participants. The Agreement is similar to Agreements between the Pinellas County School Board and other Pinellas County municipalities that utilize school bus transportation. The Recreation Programming Division’s Operating Budget contains sufficient funds to cover the costs associated with this Agreement.

This property was annexed into the city on August 14, 2013 (ANX2013-04007), along with the abutting Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road rights-of-way, as well as additional Montclair Road right-of-way to the west of the property. The western parcel (11.23 acres), addressed as 2200 Montclair Road, is owned by David B. and Sharon Webb and contains a single family home and one building associated with the wholesale plant nursery. The eastern parcel (12.52 acres), addressed as 2251 Montclair Road, is owned by Webb’s Nursery, Inc., and is currently used as a wholesale plant nursery with two buildings and planting areas. Both parcels contain preservation land and portions of Beckett Lake, totaling approximately 7.9 acres. This future land use plan amendment and the companion rezoning (REZ2013-04002) was passed on first reading by City Council on July 18, 2013.

CASE: LUP2013-04002 REQUEST: To amend the present Future Land Use Map designations from Residential Urban (RU), Preservation (P) and Water/Drainage Feature to Residential Medium (RM), Preservation (P) and Water/Drainage Feature. GENERAL DATA: Agent……………………… E.D. Armstrong, Esquire, Hill Ward and Henderson, Attorneys at Law Applicant / Owner.............. David B. and Sharon Webb and Webb’s Nursery, Inc. Location……..................... 2200 and 2251 Montclair Road, located west of North Belcher Road between Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road. Property Size…................. 23.75 total acres; 15.85 acres of uplands ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: This case involves two parcels with a total acreage of 23.75 located on the west side of North Belcher Road between Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road. The western parcel (11.23 acres), addressed as 2200 Montclair Road, is owned by David B. and Sharon Webb and contains a single family home and one building (7,984 square feet) associated with the wholesale plant nursery. The eastern parcel (12.52 acres), addressed as 2251 Montclair Road, is owned by Webb’s Nursery, Inc. and is currently used as a wholesale plant nursery with two buildings (totaling 6,280 square feet) and planting areas. The subject site was acquired in 1921 by the Webb family and was part of Webb family land holdings in the area that originally totaled 150 acres. From 1921 to 1950 the Webb family’s 150 acres operated as an orange grove and contained a single family home built in 1925 where the Webb family lived. In 1950 the eastern portion of the subject property was converted to a plant nursery, with the single family home remaining on the western portion. Other parcels of the original land holding were sold off and others retained (e.g., the property to the east is owned by the Webb family but has a long-term lease agreement with Publix Super Markets, Inc.). Both properties contain preservation land and portions of Beckett Lake, totaling approximately 7.9 acres; the remaining 15.85 acres is developable uplands. The parcels are both currently under the jurisdiction of Pinellas County, but a Petition for Annexation (ANX2013-04007) in the City is being processed concurrently with this application. Attachment number 3 \nPage 1 of 11 Item # 18 Community Development Board – June 18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 LUP2013-04002- Page 2 of 11 Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION Request: The request is to change the property’s Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Urban (RU), Preservation (P) and Water/Draining Feature to Residential Medium (RM), Preservation (P) and Water/Drainage Feature. There is a slight decrease from the total acreage currently designated as Preservation (P) and to the proposed Preservation (P) classification since the proposed is based on an accurate jurisdicitonal wetland survey approved by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The subject property will function with the existing single family home use and plant wholesale nursery use until the property is sold and redeveloped. It is anticipated that the single family home will remain and the rest of the property will be redeveloped as multifamily housing. A development application has not been submitted at this time; however, the applicant understands all necessary approvals and permits must be obtained before development of the subject site occurs. Vicinity Characteristics: Adjacent to the property, to the north (across Montclair Road) are condominiums and townhomes, to the south (across Sunset Point Road) is a pharmacy and offices, to the west is an assisted living facility, single family homes and the remainder of Beckett Lake, and to the east (across North Belcher Road) is a grocery store, bank and gas station. Abutting the subject property is a variety of Future Land Use Map classifications; the Residential/Office/Retail (R/O/R) classification shares the largest portion of the linear perimeter boundary with approximately 1,418 feet or 33 percent (see Figure 1). The area is characterized by primarily residential development to the north and west and primarily commercial and office uses to the south and east. A complete listing of the surrounding land uses, Future Land Use Map designations and Zoning Atlas designations are shown in Table 1. In addition, a comparison between the uses and intensities allowed by the present and proposed Future Land Use Map Attachment number 3 \nPage 2 of 11 Item # 18 Community Development Board – June 18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 LUP2013-04002- Page 3 of 11 Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION designations appears in Table 2.

Table 3 depicts the consistency of the proposed amendment with the standards as per Section 4-603.F: Table 3. Consistency with Community Development Code Standards CDC Section 4-603 Standard Consistent Inconsistent F.1 The amendment will further implementation of the Comprehensive Plan consistent with the goals, policies and objectives contained in the Plan. X F.2 The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. X F.3 The available uses, if applicable, to which the property may be put are appropriate to the property in question and compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. X F.4 Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property. X F.5 The amendment will not adversely affect the natural environment. X F.6 The amendment will not adversely impact the use of property in the immediate area. X RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: Consistency with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan [Sections 4-603.F.1 and 4-603.F.2] Recommended Findings of Fact: Applicable goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan which support the proposed amendment include: Goal A.2 A sufficient variety and amount of Future Land Use categories shall be provided to accommodate public demand and promote infill development. Policy A.2.2.2 Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks, schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses. Goal A.4 The City shall not permit development to occur unless an adequate level of service is available to accommodate the impacts of development. Areas in which the impact of existing development exceeds the desired levels of service will be upgraded consistent with the target dates for infrastructure improvements included in the applicable functional plan element. Goal A.5 The City of Clearwater shall identify and utilize a citywide design structure comprised of a hierarchy of places and linkages. The citywide design structure will serve as a guide to development and land use decisions while protecting those elements that make the City uniquely Clearwater. Attachment number 3 \nPage 4 of 11 Item # 18 Community Development Board – June 18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 LUP2013-04002- Page 5 of 11 Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION Policy A.5.2.3 Identify Designated Scenic Non-Commercial Corridors: specially designated roadway for which policies exist to preserve traffic capacity and to protect the aesthetic qualities of the roadway corridor as well as limiting commercial development. Objective A.5.3 Use the city-wide design structure as a guide to preserve the existing character of certain corridors within the City of Clearwater. Policy A.5.3.1 Preserve the residential character of the designated scenic non-commercial corridor of Belcher Road from Sunset Point Road to the northern City Limits. Objective A.6.2 The City of Clearwater shall continue to support innovative planned development and mixed land use development techniques in order to promote infill development that is consistent and compatible with the surrounding environment. Policy A.6.2.2 Encourage land use conversions on economically underutilized parcels and corridors, and promote redevelopment activities in these areas. Policy B.1.3.1 Requests for amendment to the Future Land Use Map will have an analysis of traffic impacts. Objective B.1.4 The City shall specifically consider the existing and planned LOS the road network affected by a proposed development, when considering an amendment to the land use map, rezoning, subdivision plat, or site plan approval. Objective C.1.1 Assure an adequate supply of housing in Clearwater by providing for additional new dwelling units in a variety of types, costs, and locations to meet the needs of the residents of the City of Clearwater. Policy F.1.5.3 The City shall protect and prevent disturbance of any natural wetland areas whether publicly or privately owned, by utilizing assessments and authority provided by the Florida Department of Environmental (FDEP), the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), Pinellas County and the Army Corps of Engineer. Recommended Conclusions of Law: The request does not conflict with the goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and furthers said plan as indicated in the following. The proposed Residential Medium (RM) category provides a transition from the higher intensity commercial and office uses to the south and east to the lower density single family homes to the west and is compatible with the attached dwelling uses to the north. Although an application for development has not been submitted at this time the property owners have indicated their intent to sell the eastern parcel for redevelopment as multifamily housing. This will add to the availability of housing type choices in the vicinity and City. The subject site is located in an otherwise developed urban area so presents a unique opportunity for infill development of an approximately 15.85 acre upland site that has been used for agriculture uses for over nine decades. This is a rare opportunity due to the City’s limited supply of vacant land. The subject site is located in proximity to parks (Frank Tack Park and Montclair Park, both a short distance to the west), schools (three elementary schools and two middle schools are less than two miles Attachment number 3 \nPage 5 of 11 Item # 18 Community Development Board – June 18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 LUP2013-04002- Page 6 of 11 Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION from the subject site), mass transit (PSTA Route 76 operates to the north of the subject site, approximately 0.4-mile walking distance) and other neighborhood-serving uses (e.g., pharmacy to the south; bank and grocery store to the east). The proposed amendment also supports the goals, objectives and policies related to the citywide design structure, particularly the preservation of North Belcher Road as a Scenic Non-Commercial Corridor that is residential in character. In addition, the proposal does not degrade the level of service for public facilities below the adopted standards (a detailed public facilities analysis follows in this report). The applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis concluding that the impact of the proposed Future Land Use classification does not degrade the abutting rights-of-way below the acceptable levels-of-service. The eastern parcel had a jurisdictional wetland survey performed in 2008 coordinated with the South West Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) providing a clear delineation of the wetlands to be preserved. Consistency with the Countywide Plan Rules Recommended Findings of Fact: Section 2.3.3.2.2 of the Countywide Plan Rules states that the purpose of the Residential Medium (RM) future land use classification is to depict those areas of the county that are now developed, or appropriate to be developed, for in a moderately intensive residential manner; and to recognize such areas as primarily well-suited for residential uses that are consistent with the urban qualities, transportation facilities and natural resource characteristics of such areas. Section 2.3.3.2.2 also states that the Residential Medium (RM) future land use classification is generally appropriate to locations within or in proximity to urban activity centers; in areas where use and development characteristics are medium density residential in nature; and in areas serving as a transition between less urban and more urban residential and mixed-use areas. These areas are typically in proximity to and may have direct access from the arterial and thoroughfare highway network. The site is also located within a segment of North Belcher Road that has been designated a Scenic/Non-commercial Corridor and classified as Residential according to Section 4.2.7.1.3 of the Countywide Rules. Residential Corridors are areas characterized by low density residential uses and classified as Residential Suburban (RS), Residential Low (RL), or Residential Urban (RU) on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Regarding Residential Classification, Section 4.2.7.1.4.B.1 states that an amendment to the Countywide Plan Map to increase residential density shall be discouraged, except where such amendment is determined to be consistent with the existing delineation of Countywide Plan Map categories, adjoining existing use, and the purpose and intent of the Scenic/Noncommerical Corridor Plan Element. The subject property is located adjacent to residential uses to the north and west and commercial and office uses to the south and east; the Residential Medium (RM) classification would serve as a transition from the residential uses to the north and west to the commercial and office uses to the south and east. The subject property shares a north-south border of approximately 596 feet to the west with single family homes; 460 feet of which (77 percent) is Beckett Lake. Beckett Lake serves as a natural buffer between the subject site and these single family homes to the west. The portion of the Top of the World multifamily residential development immediately adjacent to the subject property across Montclair Road is developed at 7.5 dwelling units per acre, but the Attachment number 3 \nPage 6 of 11 Item # 18 Community Development Board – June 18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 LUP2013-04002- Page 7 of 11 Level III Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION portion of the Top of the World development approximately 490 feet west of the subject property across Montclair Road is developed at 15 units per acre under the Residential Medium (RM) classification. The property has frontage on three roads. Both North Belcher Road and Sunset Point Road are minor arterials and Montclair Road is a collector. The subject property is in proximity to two of the City’s activity centers (Hercules Industrial Park is immediately south of the subject property and the Countryside Mall/Westfield Area is approximately 1.2 miles from the subject property). Even though this segment of North Belcher Road has the Scenic/Noncommercial Corridor subclassification of Residential Corridor, which is intended for low density residential development, the east side of North Belcher Road, between Montclair Road and Willow Tree Trail (the Top of the World residential development) has the Residential Medium future land use classification. Additionally, the eastern portion of this segment of North Belcher Road at the intersection of Sunset Point Road, directly across Belcher Road from the subject property, has the Mixed Use subclassification which is compatible with residential densities in the Residential Medium (RM) classification (see Figure 2). So although the proposed amendment of the subject property to a higher residential density classification is discouraged, it is consistent with existing development along the same segment of the North Belcher corridor. Recommended Conclusions of Law: The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the purpose and locational characteristics of the Countywide Plan Rules. The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the Scenic/Noncommercial Corridor Plan Element as it is consistent with adjoining existing uses and uses to the northeast along the same segment of North Belcher Road. Compatibility with Surrounding Property/Character of the City & Neighborhood [Section 4-603.F.3 and Section 4-603.F.6] Recommended Findings of Fact: Existing surrounding uses consist of single family homes, an assisted living facility, condominiums, townhomes, a grocery store, a bank, a gas station, an office and a pharmacy. The future land use designations of surrounding properties include Residential Urban (RU) (7.5 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.40), Residential Low Medium (RLM) (10 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.50), Residential/Office/Retail (R/O/R) (18 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.40), Figure 2.

Just diagonal (but not contiguous) to the subject property to the northwest, are properties with the Residential Medium (RM) classification. The proposed Residential Medium (RM) (15 dwelling units per acre; FAR 0.50) classification with multifamily housing is compatible with the surrounding properties and neighborhood. Recommended Conclusions of Law: The Residential Medium (RM) future land use classification requested is consistent with the surrounding future land use classifications that exist in the vicinity of the subject property. The proposed future land use designation will allow the development of residential uses at a density and scale that is consistent with existing residential, commercial and office uses in the vicinity of the subject property. As such, the proposed amendment will allow development that is in character with the surrounding area. The proposed Residential Medium (RM) future land use designation is in character with the overall Future Land Use Map designations in the area. Further, the proposal is compatible with surrounding uses and consistent with the character of the surrounding properties and neighborhood. Sufficiency of Public Facilities [Section 4-603.F.4] Recommended Findings of Fact: To assess the sufficiency of public facilities needed to support potential development on the property, the maximum development potential of the property under the present and requested Future Land Use Map designations was analyzed. The request for amendment to the Residential Medium (RM) Future Land Use Map category would increase the amount of development potential allowed on the site (see Table 4). Table 4.

As shown in Tables 6 and 7 below, there is a potential increase of 58 PM Peak Hour trips associated with the request for amendment to the Residential Medium (RM) future land use classification. However, this potential increase will not decrease the current level of service for either roadway. Both North Belcher Road and Sunset Point Road currently operate above the adopted level of service standard (LOS D or better). A traffic analysis was prepared by the applicant based on a methodology approved by the City’s Engineering Department. The level of service for the intersections and roadway segments studied is acceptable (LOS D or better) with the expected vehicular trips generated from the proposed residential development. The need of exclusive turn lanes to an unsignalized driveway will be evaluated when an application for development approval is submitted. Table 6.

Recommended Conclusions of Law: Based upon the findings of fact, it is determined that the traffic generated by the proposed amendment will not result in the degradation of the existing level of service on either North Belcher Road or Sunset Point Road. There is an increase in demand for potable water and parkland, and generation of wastewater and solid waste, but there is adequate capacity to accommodate the maximum demand generated by the proposed amendment. Impact on Natural Resources [Section 4-603.F.5] Recommended Findings of Fact: Wetlands are located on the subject property, as determined by the 2008 South West Florida Water Management District jurisdictional wetland survey. There are trees and landscaping on site. Recommended Conclusions of Law: Any proposed redevelopment is required to be compliant with the City’s tree preservation, landscaping, storm water management and wetland vegetative buffer requirements. REVIEW PROCEDURE: Approval of the Future Land Use Map amendment does not guarantee the right to develop the subject property. The Future Land Use Map amendment is subject to approval by the Pinellas Planning Council and Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. Based on the size of the parcel, review and approval by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is required. The property owner must comply with all laws and ordinances in effect at the time development permits are requested, including transportation concurrency provisions of the Concurrency Management System in Division 9, Community Development Code.

This property was annexed into the city on August 14, 2013 (ANX2013-04007), along with the abutting Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road rights-of-way, as well as additional Montclair Road right-of-way to the west of the property. The western parcel (11.23 acres), addressed as 2200 Montclair Road, is owned by David B. and Sharon Webb and contains a single family home and one building associated with the wholesale plant nursery. The eastern parcel (12.52 acres), addressed as 2251 Montclair Road, is owned by Webb’s Nursery, Inc., and is currently used as a wholesale plant nursery with two buildings and planting areas. Both parcels contain preservation land and portions of Beckett Lake, totaling approximately 7.9 acres. This rezoning and companion future land use amendment (LUP2013-04002) was passed on first reading by City Council on July 18, 2013. Ordinance 8411-13 was amended on first reading to remove the Belcher Road right-of-way (less North Belcher Road) because after the public hearing notice ran in the newspaper it was determined the property could not be annexed into the city. In order to ensure that the ordinance is clear regarding which rights-of-way are being annexed, a motion to amend is proposed to include a more accurate legal description of the right-of-way. Additionally, staff is requesting that Council approve a revised Exhibit B (Zoning Map) which reflects the boundaries of the land to be designated Preservation (P) based on the approved jurisdictional wetland survey provided for the eastern parcel (part of the proposed motion to amend on second reading). The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed future land use mapamendment isconsistent with the Community Development Code as specified below: · The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Community Development Code; · The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property and character of the neighborhood; · The available uses in the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District and Preservation (P) District are compatible with the surrounding area; · The proposed amendment will not adversely burden public facilities, including the traffic-carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or disproportionate manner; and · The proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) District and Preservation (P) District boundaries are appropriately drawn in regard to location and classifications of streets, ownership lines, existing improvements and the natural environment. The Community Development Board reviewed the application at its public hearing on June 18, 2013 and unanimously recommended approval of the Zoning Atlas amendment.

CASE: REZ2013-04002 REQUEST: To amend the present Zoning Atlas designation from RPD-7.5, Residential Planned Development (7.5 Units Per Acre Max Density) category (Pinellas County) to the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) and Preservation (P) categories (City of Clearwater). GENERAL DATA: Agent……………………… E.D. Armstrong, Esquire, Hill Ward and Henderson, Attorneys at Law Applicant / Owner.............. David B. and Sharon Webb and Webb’s Nursery, Inc. Location……..................... 2200 and 2251 Montclair Road, located west of North Belcher Road between Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road. Property Size…................. 23.75 total acres; 15.85 acres of uplands ANALYSIS: Site Location and Existing Conditions: This case involves two parcels with a total acreage of 23.75 located on the west side of North Belcher Road between Sunset Point Road and Montclair Road. The western parcel (11.23 acres), addressed as 2200 Montclair Road, is owned by David B. and Sharon Webb and contains a single family home and one building (7,984 square feet) associated with the wholesale plant nursery. The eastern parcel (12.52 acres), addressed as 2251 Montclair Road, is owned by Webb’s Nursery, Inc. and is currently used as a wholesale plant nursery with two buildings (totaling 6,280 square feet) and planting areas. The subject site was acquired in 1921 by the Webb family and was part of Webb family land holdings in the area that originally totaled 150 acres. From 1921 to 1950 the Webb family’s 150 acres operated as an orange grove and contained a single family home built in 1925 where the Webb family lived. In 1950 the eastern portion of the Webb family land holdings was converted to a plant nursery, with the single family home remaining on the western portion. Other parcels of the original land holding were sold off and others retained (e.g., the property to the east is owned by the Webb family but has a long-term lease agreement with Publix Super Markets, Inc.). Both properties contain preservation land and portions of Beckett Lake, totaling approximately 7.9 acres, the remaining 15.85 acres consisting of developable uplands. The parcels are both currently under the jurisdiction of Pinellas County, but a Petition for Annexation (ANX2013-04007) in the City is being processed concurrently with this application. Attachment number 3 \nPage 1 of 10 Item # 19 Community Development Board – June18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 REZ2013-04002- Page 2 of 10 Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION Request: The request is to change the property’s Zoning Atlas designation of RPD-7.5, Residential Planned Development (7.5 Units Per Acre Max Density) category (Pinellas County) to the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) and Preservation (P) categories (City of Clearwater).The subject property will function with the existing single family home use and plant wholesale nursery use until the property is sold and redeveloped. It is anticipated that the single family home will remain and the rest of the property will be redeveloped as multifamily housing. A development application has not been submitted at this time; however, the applicant understands all necessary approvals and permits must be obtained before development of the subject site occurs. Vicinity Characteristics: Adjacent to the property, to the north (across Montclair Road) are condominiums and townhomes, to the south (across Sunset Point Road) is a pharmacy and offices, to the west is an assisted living facility, single family homes and the remainder of Beckett Lake, and to the east (across North Belcher Road) is a grocery store, bank and gas station. Abutting the subject property is a variety of Zoning Atlas designations; the Commercial District (C) shares the largest portion of the linear perimeter boundary with approximately 1,624 feet or 38 percent (see Figure 1). The area is characterized by primarily residential development to the north and west and primarily commercial and office uses to the south and east. A complete listing of the surrounding land uses, Future Land Use Map designations and Zoning Atlas designations are shown in Table 1.

X RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: Consistency of Development with the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code and City Regulations [Section 4-602.F.1] Recommended Findings of Fact: Applicable goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan which support the proposed amendment include: Policy A.1.1.3 Environmentally sensitive wetlands subject to Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) jurisdiction and the jurisdictional wetlands of the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) shall be designated by “Preservation” (P) zoning and prevented from being built upon except as permitted by the Preservation Zoning District. Policy A.2.2.2 Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks, schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses. Goal A.4 The City shall not permit development to occur unless an adequate level of service is available to accommodate the impacts of development. Areas in which the impact of existing development exceeds the desired levels of service will be upgraded consistent with the target dates for infrastructure improvements included in the applicable functional plan element. Goal A.5 The City of Clearwater shall identify and utilize a citywide design structure comprised of a hierarchy of places and linkages. The citywide design structure will serve as a guide to Attachment number 3 \nPage 4 of 10 Item # 19 Community Development Board – June18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 REZ2013-04002- Page 5 of 10 Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION development and land use decisions while protecting those elements that make the City uniquely Clearwater. Policy A.5.2.3 Identify Designated Scenic Non-Commercial Corridors: specially designated roadway for which policies exist to preserve traffic capacity and to protect the aesthetic qualities of the roadway corridor as well as limiting commercial development. Objective A.5.3 Use the city-wide design structure as a guide to preserve the existing character of certain corridors within the City of Clearwater. Policy A.5.3.1 Preserve the residential character of the designated scenic non-commercial corridor of Belcher Road from Sunset Point Road to the northern City Limits. Objective A.6.2 The City of Clearwater shall continue to support innovative planned development and mixed land use development techniques in order to promote infill development that is consistent and compatible with the surrounding environment. Policy A.6.2.2 Encourage land use conversions on economically underutilized parcels and corridors, and promote redevelopment activities in these areas. Objective B.1.4 The City shall specifically consider the existing and planned LOS the road network affected by a proposed development, when considering an amendment to the land use map, rezoning, subdivision plat, or site plan approval. Objective C.1.1 Assure an adequate supply of housing in Clearwater by providing for additional new dwelling units in a variety of types, costs, and locations to meet the needs of the residents of the City of Clearwater. Policy F.1.5.3 The City shall protect and prevent disturbance of any natural wetland areas whether publicly or privately owned, by utilizing assessments and authority provided by the Florida Department of Environmental (FDEP), the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), Pinellas County and the Army Corps of Engineer. Recommended Conclusions of Law: The request does not conflict with the goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and furthers said plan as indicated in the following. The proposed Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) and Preservation (P) categories provide a transition from the higher intensity commercial and office uses to the south and east to the lower density single family homes to the west and is compatible with the attached dwelling uses to the north. Although an application for development has not been submitted at this time the property owners have indicated their intent to sell the eastern parcel for redevelopment as multifamily housing. This will add to the availability of housing type choices in the vicinity and City. The subject site is located in an otherwise developed urban area so presents a unique opportunity for infill development of an approximately 15.85 acre upland site that has been used for agriculture uses for over nine decades. This is a rare opportunity due to the City’s limited supply of vacant land. The subject site is located in proximity to parks (Frank Tack Park and Montclair Park, both a short distance to the west), schools (three elementary schools and two middle schools are less Attachment number 3 \nPage 5 of 10 Item # 19 Community Development Board – June18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 REZ2013-04002- Page 6 of 10 Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION than two miles from the subject site), mass transit (PSTA Route 76 operates to the north of the subject site, approximately 0.4-mile walking distance) and other neighborhood-serving uses (e.g., pharmacy to the south; bank and grocery store to the east). The proposed amendment also supports the goals, objectives and policies related to the citywide design structure, particularly the preservation of North Belcher Road as a Scenic Non-Commercial Corridor that is residential in character. In addition, the proposal does not degrade the level of service for public facilities below the adopted standards (a detailed public facilities analysis follows in this report). The eastern parcel had a jurisdictional wetland survey performed in 2008 coordinated with the South West Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) providing a clear delineation of the wetlands to be preserved. Compatibility with Surrounding Property/Character of the City & Neighborhood [Section 4-602.F.2, 4-602.F.3 and Section 4-602.F.4] Recommended Findings of Fact: Existing surrounding uses consist of single family homes, an assisted living facility, condominiums, townhomes, a grocery store, a bank, a gas station, an office and a pharmacy. The Zoning Atlas designations of surrounding properties include Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), Preservation (P), Medium Density Residential (MDR), RPD-7.5, Residential Planned Development (7.5 UPA Max Density) (Pinellas County), Commercial (C), and Office (O). The portion of the Top of the World development immediately adjacent to the subject property to the north has the Pinellas County zoning designation of RPD-7.5, Residential Planned Development (7.5 UPA Max Density), but the portion of the Top of the World development approximately 490 feet west of the subject property to the north has the Pinellas County zoning designation of RM- 15, Residential Multiple Family (15 Units Per Acre Max Density) District which is the County equivalent of the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District in the City. The proposed Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District primarily permits moderate to high density residential. The intent of the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District is to protect and preserve the integrity and value of existing, stable residential neighborhoods of medium high density while at the same time, allowing a careful and deliberate redevelopment and revitalization of such neighborhoods in need of revitalization or neighborhoods with unique amenities which create unique opportunities to increase property values and the overall attractiveness of the City. The proposed Zoning Atlas designation will allow infill development of the subject property to take place. A medium density residential use will serve as an appropriate transition from the residential areas to the north and west to the commercial and office uses to the south and east, adding to the appeal of the neighborhood and overall attractiveness of the City. Recommended Conclusions of Law: The proposed Zoning Atlas designation is in character with the overall Zoning Atlas designations in the area. Further, the proposal is compatible and consistent with the uses and character of the surrounding properties and neighborhood in the vicinity of the subject property. Attachment number 3 \nPage 6 of 10 Item # 19 Community Development Board – June18, 2013 Revised for City Council Meeting October 16, 2013 REZ2013-04002- Page 7 of 10 Level III Zoning Atlas Amendment Application Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT LONG RANGE DIVISION Sufficiency of Public Facilities [Section 4-602.F.5] Recommended Findings of Fact: To assess the sufficiency of public facilities needed to support potential development on the property, the maximum development potential of the property under the present and requested Future Land Use Map and Zoning designations were analyzed. Even though this is a Zoning Atlas amendment application, maximum development potential is based on the underlying future land use, so for purposes of this analysis sufficiency of public facilities is based on the future land use map designation. The request for amendment to the Residential Medium (RM) Future Land Use Map classification would increase the amount of development potential allowed on the site (see Table 3). Table 3. Development Potential for Existing & Proposed FLUM Designations Present FLUM Designation “RU” Requested FLUM Designation “RM” Net Change Site Area 15.85 AC (690,426 SF) 15.85 AC (690,426 SF) Maximum Development Potential 118 DUs 276,170 SF 0.40 FAR 237 DUs 345,213 SF 0.50 FAR 119 DUs 69,043 SF 0.10 FAR Abbreviations: FLUM – Future Land Use Map DUs – Dwelling Units AC – Acres FAR – Floor Area Ratio SF – Square feet The proposed change in designation would allow an increase in the allowable density and floor area ratio (FAR) and thus an increase in dwelling units and square footage. The current RPD-7.5 District (Pinellas County) primarily permits residential uses with a maximum density of 7.5 units per acre. The proposed Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District primarily permits moderate to high density residential uses. As shown in Table 4 below, the proposed change will result in an increase in demand of public facilities and services, but will not degrade them below acceptable levels.

The Trip Generation Comparison by Zoning Atlas Designation in Table 5 below indicates the estimated trip generation for specific uses allowed in the current and proposed zoning districts based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Trip Generation 9th Edition. The table shows an increase of 67 PM Peak Trips when comparing the existing uses to the maximum development potential of the proposed future land use classification. However, when comparing the existing maximum development potential to the proposed maximum development potential, the table shows only a slight increase of 29 PM Peak Trips; both increases are minimal. A traffic analysis was prepared by the applicant based on a methodology approved by the City’s Engineering Department. The level of service for the intersections and roadway segments studied is acceptable (LOS D or better) with the expected vehicular trips generated from the proposed residential development. The need of exclusive turn lanes to an unsignalized driveway will be evaluated when an application for development approval is submitted.

Recommended Conclusions of Law: Based upon the findings of fact, it is determined that the traffic generated by the proposed amendment will not result in the degradation of the existing level of service on either North Belcher Road or Sunset Point Road. There is an increase in demand for potable water and parkland, and generation of wastewater and solid waste, but there is adequate capacity to accommodate the maximum demand generated by the proposed amendment. Location of District Boundaries [Section 4-602.F.6] Recommended Findings of Fact: The location of the proposed Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District boundaries is consistent with the boundaries of the subject property. The proposed Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District is compatible with the single family residential use to the west, the multifamily use to the north, and the commercial and office uses to the south and east.

Recommended Conclusions of Law: The district boundaries are appropriately drawn in regard to location and classifications of streets, ownership lines, existing improvements and the natural environment. REVIEW PROCEDURE: Approval of the Zoning Atlas amendment does not guarantee the right to develop the subject property. The property owner must comply with all laws and ordinances in effect at the time development permits are requested, including transportation concurrency provisions of the Concurrency Management System in Division 9, Community Development Code. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the foregoing, the Planning and Development Department recommends the following action: Recommend APPROVAL of the request for Zoning Atlas amendment from the RPD-7.5, Residential Planned Development (7.5 Units Per Acre Max Density) category (Pinellas County) to the Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) District and Preservation (P) District.

(HDA2013-08001) SUMMARY: The 1.377-acre subject property is located at the southwest corner of Parkway Drive and South Gulfview Boulevard, which is within the Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design. The property has two zoning designations, which are Tourist (T) District and Open Space/Recreation (OS/R) District. The land area zoned T District is 1.347 acres (58,671 square feet) and the land area zoned OS/R District is 0.03 acres (1,317 square feet). The site is currently developed with a six-story, 110-room hotel known as the Wyndham Garden of Clearwater Beach. The existing building is located toward the rear of the site, oriented east/west and with parking on the north and west sides of the building. On September 20, 2005, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved FLD2005-06057/TDR2005-07023 for the Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density to retain the existing 110 overnight accommodation units where the base density allows 67 units. The owners propose to utilize the existing 110-rooms obtained through the Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density while requesting an additional 92 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design. The current proposal is to demolish the existing building and redevelop the site with a 202-unit overnight accommodation use (150 rooms per acre for the land zoned T District, including the allocation of 92 rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve). The building will be 150 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to flat roof (14 stories) with the parking located within the first six levels. The proposed architectural style is contemporary coastal architecture, which is consistent with and complements the tropical vernacular envisioned in Beach by Design. Consistency with the Community Development Code: Minimum Lot Area/Width:The subject property has a lot area of 59,988 square feet (1.377 acres; 1.347 acres zoned T District and 0.03 acres zoned OS/R District). The lot width of the subject property is 240.64 feet. These are consistent with the applicable sections of the Community Development Code. Minimum Setbacks:The conceptual site plan depicts a front (north) setback of 15 feet, a side (west) setback of 15.2 feet, a side (east) setback of 15 feet (east), and a rear (south) setback of 20 feet. The proposed setbacks may be approved as part of a Level Two (FLD) application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the Community Development Code. Maximum Height: Pursuant to the Clearwater Pass District Character District standards of Beach by Design and that the owners are requesting 92 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve, the maximum height of the hotel can be up to 150 feet provided that there is no more than four buildings above 100 feet in height within 800 feet of the proposed building. The applicant has demonstrated that there are only three buildings 800 feet westward of the building’s east façade that exceed 100 feet in height and that there are no buildings to the east of the building that exceed 100 feet in height. The buildings to the west of the subject building (proposed 150 feet in height from BFE) include the Continental Tower (105 feet in height from BFE) and the proposed Hampton Inn Building (134 feet in height from BFE). The height of the proposed building is consistent with the guidelines of Beach by Design. Minimum Off-Street Parking:The 202-room overnight accommodation use requires a minimum of 242 off-street parking spaces. There will be 244 parking spaces provided within the parking garage located on the first six levels of the building. This is consistent with the applicable sections of the Community Development Code. Landscaping: While a formal landscape plan is not required to be submitted for review at this time, the conceptual landscape areas depicted on the site plan show that a 15 foot wide perimeter landscape area will be provided along the north property line; a 15.10 foot wide perimeter landscape area will be provided along the west property line; a 15 foot wide perimeter landscape area will be provided along the east property line; and that a 20 foot wide perimeter landscape area will be provided along the south property line. The proposal should meet the required five-foot wide foundation landscape requirement. Since no perimeter landscape Cover Memo Item # 20 buffers are required in the T District, the proposed landscape areas exceed what is required. It is noted, however, that flexibility may be requested/necessary as part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program which would be reviewed at time of formal site plan approval. Consistency with Beach by Design: Design Guidelines:A review of the provided architectural elevations and massing study was conducted and the proposed building does appear to be generally consistent with the applicable Design Guidelines established in Beach by Design. It is noted, however, that a more formal review of these guidelines will need to be conducted as part of the final site plan approval process. Hotel Density Reserve:The project has been reviewed for compliance with those criteria established within Beach by Design concerning the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve. The project appears to be generally consistent with those criteria, including that the development comply with the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) countywide approach to the application of traffic concurrency management for transportation facilities. The submitted Traffic Impact Study concludes that traffic operations at nearby intersections and on adjacent roadways would continue at acceptable levels of service. Standards for Development Agreements: The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions: Provides for the allocation of 92 units from the Hotel Density Reserve; Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in accordance with Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407; Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed; No full kitchens. No unit shall have a complete kitchen facility as that term is used in the definition of dwelling unit in the Community Development Code; Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center; That no unit in the project shall be used as a primary or permanent residence. At least 150 units (75 percent) shall be required to be submitted to a rental program or reservation system requiring those hotel units to be available to overnight hotel guests on a transient basis at all times. Developer will use reasonable efforts to encourage owners of “ownership units” to voluntarily submit their unit to a rental program or reservation system requiring it to be available to overnight hotel guests on a transient basis when the unit is not occupied by the owner; and Provides language that will allow 52 units (25 percent) to be used as ownership units. Staff recommends that prior to a decision on the agreement that clarity be provided as to what percentage of units may be used for ownership units. Staff recommends that Council clarify if one of the following proposed criteria be used: That a percentage of the 67-units permitted by the base density (50 units per acre) may be used as ownership units; or That a percentage of the 67-units permitted by the base density (50 units per acre) and the 43-units accorded through the Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density may be used as ownership units; or That a percentage of the total number of proposed units (202), the 67-units permitted by the base density (50 units per acre) plus the 43-units accorded through the Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density plus the 92 units obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve, may be used as ownership units. Furthermore, at the direction of the City Council, that language be added to the development agreement that limits amplified music. The Developer agrees that there shall be no outdoor amplified music at the Project after 11:00 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, or after 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday. Changes to Development Agreements: Pursuant to Section 4-606.I., CDC, a Development Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to the Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC. Minor revisions to such plans may be approved by the Community Development Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require an amendment to this Development Agreement.

We are very excited as we feel this is exactly the type of addition South Clearwater Beach so desperately needs. Enchantment, LLC is seeking approval for the addition of a mere 92 rooms from the density pool, given the age of the existing building we at the Chamber feel that this project could not have been proposed at a better time!! We truly love every thing about The Views" and with open arms welcome this new development to our beach. The 40 year old grand Hotel needs to be demolished as it is now an eyesore. Approving this project will only bring positive value to South Clearwater Beach. Not only will this project continue to draw the existing guests, who loyally return each year with their families, as it has in some cases become "family tradition ", hut The Views" will also undoubtedly draw new guests from all corners of the world. All of us here at Clearwater Chamber of Connneree are convinced that Clearwater Beach absolutely needs this project -- each and every business on South Beach — from owners to employees will reap profit simply by the City approving and seeing this project through fruition. It is our recommendation that the City do whatever is necessary to make sure that this project happens, for the sake of our beach.

Gulfview Blvd. We have many customers from the old Wyndham Hotel coming in to our miniature golf course. I myself have also occasionally enjoyed the Starbucks they have in their lobby. Although the hotel looks beautiful inside, it is still a 40 year old building that needs to be demolished to uplift the area. I strongly support "The Views Project ".

Our restaurant has been in business for over 25 years at the same location. We have seen the Grand dame property in its state of grandeur when they used to have a piano bar, violin players and I_,eonora's tine steak house in the hotel. The building is now very old the current owners have done a very good job in refurbishing the inside both the rooms and the restaurant, bar, meeting rooms, patios, fitness center etc. The hotel guests have been our patrons quite often when they are not eating in the hotel . The property from our understanding is over 40 years old and needs to be demolished and redeveloped. This will also help our business as they plan to add over 90 additional rooms. We are by means of this letter asking you to grant then the additional rooms from the bonus pool as we definitely need this property to be redeveloped ,so that my neighborhood can keep up with the rest of Clearwater beach.

I and my friends have also visited the property on many occasions enjoying the use of the fitness center, pool and of course the beautiful beach. Although the inside and beach area of the hotel is beautiful, the outside is old and dated.

Gulfview Blvd, in the current location of the Wyndham Gardens on South Clearwater Beach. We have looked at the renderings for the proposed project, asked questions, are pleased and look forward to seeing this project completed. We are sure that this project will bring additional revenues and additional clients to our fine dining restaurant. Enchantment is seeking approval for the addition of only 92 rooms from the density pool. Given the age of the existing building I agree that this project could not have been proposed at a better time!! Though the building is in good repair, 1 feel that Clearwater Beach could use the additional splendor of that proposed in the "Views ". A project such as this, will only bring positive revenue to our beach — not only to the "Views ", but also to every other local business — owners, operators, and staff alike. It is my recommendation that the City approves this project for the sake of our community.

After reviewing the rendering I was impressed by the detail and thought invested in the design. The hotel would be a wonderful addition to our beach.

Please accept this letter as my show of support for the project "The Views" which has recently been submitted to the City. My salon is situated in a building that is unfortunately mostly vacant due to our struggling economy, I am of the opinion that the "Views" would not only bring revitalization to my building as far as enticing a more stable tenant base but also for the day to day client base of my salon. A larger hotel of a potentially higher brand would most definitely provide greater customer opportunities for all of the small business owners in the area. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to discuss my thoughts in greater detail. Regards, Operational Manager Y\/,iW< Attachment number 7 \nPage 9 of 23 Item # 20 BFICHSIDF BRILL & BAR Dear Mayor Cretekos and Councilmembers, I have had the opportunity to get a "look see" at the plans for the proposed project "The Views" on the south end of the beach. I believe Uday and his team has done an excellent job of following the guidelines established in Beach by Design. They have really come up with a concept that will be a nice addition to the south end and will complement the other projects that have been built, are being built and will be built in the future. To me, this is the kind of project that was envisioned when the room pool was established. I certainly understand the problems of maintaining older properties and I'm sure with one the size of the 40 year old Sea Wake /Wyndham — sorry — it will always be the Sea Wake to me — there comes a time when big changes must be made. The economic impact to the south end of the beach will be very large as well as the benefits to the tax base for Clearwater and Pinellas County through property and sales tax. I truly hope that you will encourage the planning department to give this project support and do what you can to make this happen. Clearwater Beach is winning many awards and, in many ways, I think that is in large part to the progressive things that you and your predecessors have moved forward. We didn't win a lot of awards prior to the redevelopment — if you know what I mean. I think that this project will be another addition to the wonderful inventory of quality properties we now have on our award winning beach. Please allow this project. It just makes sense.

Gulfview Blvd., in Clearwater Beach. Currently, there is a Wyndam Garden located at that address, and the owner is proposing to tear it down to build "The Views ". The current Wyndam hotel that is currently located there is now 40 years old, and while the interior is quite nice and has been well maintained, the exterior of the building is not up to the same standard as the inside, and the options for upgrading the outside are limited. Building "The Views" in this location would provide a boon to not only the owner, but has the potential of providing a boon to other businesses in the area, as a newer building with first class amenities would appeal to and attract a wide variety of tourists and vistors to the area. We respectfully request that you allow this project to go forward through completion as the nicer we can make our city, the more we stand to gain by providing better services and increasing the demand for goods and services produced and provided by our local businesses.

(HDA2013-08004) SUMMARY: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 1.60-acre site (including a 35 foot by 240-foot portion of the South Gulfview Boulevard right-of-way) is bound by South Gulfview Boulevard (west), Coronado Drive (east) at the intersection of Coronado Drive and Brightwater Drive. The subject property is comprised of two parcels with a frontage of approximately 244 feet along South Gulfview Boulevard and 355 feet of frontage along Coronado Drive. The larger of the two parcels sites is occupied by the Beachview Inn, a 64-unit overnight accommodation use built in 1982 (according to Pinellas County Property Appraiser records). The second parcel is occupied by an attached dwelling unit with five units built in 1954 (also according to Pinellas County Property Appraiser records). The subject property is zoned Tourist (T) District with an underlying Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category of Resort Facilities High (RFH). The subject property is also located within the Beach Walk district of Beach by Design. Access to the portion of the site occupied by the attached dwelling unit is provided by a narrow driveway along Coronado Drive. The larger parcel is accessed via pair of two-way driveways along Coronado Drive. Parking is provided along the east side of the site. The hotel building is located along the west side of the site. The attached dwelling building is centrally located on its parcel. A pool area is located at the southwest corner of the larger parcel. The site enjoys direct access to Beach Walk. The immediate area is characterized by a variety of uses including overnight accommodation, retail, outdoor recreation and entertainment, restaurant and attached dwelling uses with heights ranging from one to 15 stories. The City’s Beach Walk project has been constructed transforming South Gulfview Boulevard to the west 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. Development Proposal: The owners propose to utilize the otherwise permitted density of 50 units per acre or 80 units and incorporate an additional 100 units from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design resulting in a total of 180 units (113 units per acre). The current proposal is to demolish all structures on the site and redevelop the site with a 180-unit overnight accommodation use (113 rooms per acre, including the allocation of 100 rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve). The building will be 146 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to flat roof with parking on the first three levels. The proposal includes a tropical modern architecture, which is consistent with and complements the tropical vernacular envisioned in Beach by Design. Consistency with the Community Development Code: Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-802, the minimum required lot area and width for an Overnight Accommodation use is 20,000 square feet and between 100 and 150 feet, respectively. The subject property is 69,969 square feet in area and approximately 244 feet wide. The site is consistent with these Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: The conceptual site plan depicts setbacks of zero feet to building along the front (east and west) along Coronado Drive and South Gulfview Boulevard, respectively and sides (west, south and north). The proposed setbacks may be approved as part of a Level Two (FLD) application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the Community Development Code. Maximum Height: Section B of the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design specifically addresses height. The proposal provides for a building 146 feet in height as measured from BFE where a height of up to 150 feet is permitted as prescribed by the CDC, where additional density is allocated to the development either by TDRs, 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 Cover Memo Item # 21 Gulf of Mexico or on the west side of Coronado Drive. Density is proposed to be augmented through the use a 100 units from the Hotel Density Reserve and the subject property is located on the west side of Coronado Drive. This section also requires that portions of any structures that exceed 100 feet be spaced at least 100 feet apart. The applicant has shown that no portion of the building which exceeds 100 feet is closer than 100 from any other portion of any other building which exceeds 100 feet. 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. The proposal provides for a building that exceeds 100 feet in height. The applicant has demonstrated that there are no more than two structures, which exceed 100 feet within 500 feet thereby fulfilling the requirements of Option 1, above. In addition, the applicant has demonstrated that there are no more than four structures, which exceed 100 feet within 800 feet thereby fulfilling the requirements of Option 2, above. The height of the proposed building is consistent with the guidelines of Beach by Design. Minimum Off-Street Parking: The 180-room overnight accommodation use requires a minimum of 216 off-street parking spaces. The 216 parking spaces will be provided within a parking garage located on the first three levels of the building. This is consistent with the applicable Sections of the Community Development Code. Landscaping: While a formal landscape plan is not required to be submitted for review at this time, the conceptual landscape areas depicted on the site plan show that foundation landscaping will be provided along the east and west sides of the building. In addition, landscape buffers will be provided along portions of the north and west sides of the site. Since no perimeter landscape buffers are required in the Tourist (T) District, the proposed landscape areas meet or exceed what is required. It is noted, however, that flexibility may be requested/necessary as part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program which would be reviewed at time of formal site plan approval. Consistency with Beach by Design: Design Guidelines: A review of the provided architectural elevations and massing study was conducted and the proposed building does appear to be generally consistent with the applicable Design Guidelines established in Beach by Design. It is noted, however, that a more formal review of these Guidelines will need to be conducted as part of the final site plan approval process. Hotel Density Reserve: The project has been reviewed for compliance with those criteria established within Beach by Design concerning the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve. The project appears to be generally consistent with those criteria, including that the development comply with the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) countywide approach to the application of traffic concurrency management for transportation facilities. The submitted Traffic Impact Study concludes that traffic operations at nearby intersections and on adjacent roadways would continue at acceptable levels of service. Standards for Development Agreements: The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions: Provides for the allocation of 100 units from the Hotel Density Reserve; Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in accordance with Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407; Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed; For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center. Changes to Development Agreements: Pursuant to Section 4-606.I, CDC, a Development Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to this Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC. Minor Cover Memo Item # 21 revisions to such plans may be approved by the Community Development Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require an amendment to this Development Agreement.

(HDA2013-08007) SUMMARY: Site Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.69-acre site is located along the south side of South Gulfview Boulevard approximately 725 feet west of Parkway Drive and 300 feet east of the South Gulfview Boulevard and Bayway Boulevard intersection. The subject property is comprised of one parcel with a frontage of approximately 126 feet along South Gulfview Boulevard and 127 feet of frontage along the water. The site is occupied by the Gulfview Hotel, a 64-unit overnight accommodation use built in 1972 (according to Pinellas County Property Appraiser records). The subject property is zoned Tourist (T) District with an underlying Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category of Resort Facilities High (RFH). The subject property is also located within the South Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design. Access to the site is provided by a pair of one-way driveways with ingress provided at the west side of the site and egress at the east side. Parking is provided along the north and west sides of the site. The building is located in the southeast quadrant of the site. A pool area is located along the southeast corner of the building. The site enjoys direct access to the beach and the Gulf of Mexico although it is important to note that the beach area is adjacent to but is not part of the subject site. The immediate area is characterized by a variety of uses including overnight accommodation, retail, outdoor recreation and entertainment, restaurant and attached dwelling uses with heights ranging from one to 15 stories. The properties directly east and west of this property are developed with overnight accommodation uses. 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. Development Proposal: The owners propose to utilize the existing 34 to 64-rooms (34 of which are requested to be considered as conforming through a Termination of Status of Nonconformity for density reviewed by the Community Development Board on October 15, 2013) while requesting up to an additional 69 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design resulting in a total of 103 units (150 units per acre). 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 0.69-acre site, a maximum of 34 overnight accommodation units would normally be permissible under current regulations. Therefore, the site is/was overdense by 30 units. The aforementioned Termination of Status of Nonconformity application included a request to permit the current density of 64 units to remain and be considered as conforming. It must be reiterated that the review by the Community Development Board (CDB) was scheduled for, and presumably occurred on, October 15, 2013 (the day prior to this, the first City Council review of this request) Cover Memo Item # 22 therefore, as of the writing of this analysis it is unknown if the request to Terminate the Status of Nonconformity with regard to density was approved. Therefore, the request is for up to 69 units or a maximum of 150 units per acre, whichever is less. The current proposal is to demolish the existing building and redevelop the site with a 103-unit overnight accommodation use (150 rooms per acre, including the allocation of 39 rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve). The building will be 97 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to flat roof (10 stories) with an additional 16 feet for mechanical equipment and architectural details with the parking on the first six levels. The proposal includes a tropical modern architecture, which is consistent with and complements the tropical vernacular envisioned in Beach by Design. Consistency with the Community Development Code: Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-802, the minimum required lot area and width for an Overnight Accommodation use is 20,000 square feet and between 100 and 150 feet, respectively. The subject property is 29,888 square feet in area and 126 feet wide. The site is consistent with these Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: The conceptual site plan depicts a side (west) setback of 10 feet to building and covered patio, side (east) setbacks of 13 and 10 feet to building and patio, respectively, a front (north) setback of 10 feet to building and a rear (south) setback of 51 feet to building, five feet to patio and 12 feet to pool. The proposed setbacks may be approved as part of a Level Two Flexible Development application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the Community Development Code (CDC). Maximum Height: Pursuant to the Clearwater Pass District Character District standards of Beach by Design and that the owners are requesting 39 hotel rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve, the maximum height of the hotel can be up to 150 feet provided that there is no more than four buildings above 100 feet in height within 800 feet of the proposed building. The applicant has proposed a building 97 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to flat roof (10 stories) with an additional 16 feet for mechanical equipment and architectural details. Buildings less than 100 feet in height may be located without limitation although any height above 50 feet must be requested through a Level Two Flexible Development application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the CDC. The height of the proposed building is generally consistent with the guidelines of Beach by Design. Minimum Off-Street Parking: The 103-room overnight accommodation use requires a minimum of 124 off-street parking spaces. The conceptual site plan includes 126 parking spaces will be provided within a parking garage located on the first six levels of the building. The number of parking spaces is consistent with the CDC. Landscaping: While a formal landscape plan is not required to be submitted for review at this time, the conceptual landscape areas depicted on the site plan show that foundation landscaping between three and 12 feet in width will be provided along the north side of the building. In addition, 10-foot wide landscape buffers will be provided along the east and west sides of the site. Since no perimeter landscape buffers are required in the Tourist (T) District, the proposed landscape areas exceed what is required. It is noted, however, that flexibility may be requested/necessary as part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program which would be reviewed at time of formal site plan approval. Cover Memo Item # 22 Consistency with Beach by Design: Design Guidelines: A review of the provided architectural elevations and massing study was conducted and the proposed building does appear to be generally consistent with the applicable Design Guidelines established in Beach by Design. It is noted, however, that a more formal review of these Guidelines will need to be conducted as part of the final site plan approval process. Hotel Density Reserve: The project has been reviewed for compliance with those criteria established within Beach by Design concerning the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve. The project appears to be generally consistent with those criteria, including that the development comply with the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Countywide approach to the application of traffic concurrency management for transportation facilities. The submitted Traffic Impact Study concludes that traffic operations at nearby intersections and on adjacent roadways would continue at acceptable levels of service. Standards for Development Agreements: The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions: Provides for the allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density Reserve or a maximum density of 150 units per acre, whichever is less; Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in accordance with (CDC) Section 4-407; Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed; For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center. Changes to Development Agreements: Pursuant to Section 4-606.I., CDC, a Development Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to the Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC.
