ANALYSIS
Site Location and Existing Conditions
The 0.46 acre site is located at the northwest
corner of Gulf to Ba y Boulevard and South
Pegasus Avenue, wi t h approxima te ly 1 3 5 feet o f
frontage along Gulf to Bay Boulevard and
approximately 150 feet of frontage along South
Pegasus Avenue. The site is accessed via
existing driveway ingress/egress along Gulf to
Bay Boulevard and South Pegasus Avenue. The
parcel contains a single-story, former
convenience store buil d i n g w i t h t h e f u e l i s l a n d
canopy covering the former gas pump area and
the existing building.
The building is located in the middle of the lot
and directly adjacent the driveway entrance off
of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The site features
existing vehicular circulation from the driveways
around the building and through the former gas
pump area and back out to the driveways. While
the site is predominately impervious surfaced
with a combination of concrete and asphalt, there
is only one designated handicap parking space.
The existing trash enclosure is located on the
northwest corner of the property directly
adjacent the existing drainage swale.
The subject property is located within the
Commercial (C) District where the intent and
purpose of which is to provide the citizens of the
City of Clearwater with convenient access to
goods and services throughout the city without
adversely impacting the integrity of residential
neighborhoods, diminishing the scenic quality of
the city or negatively impacting the safe and
efficient movement of people and things within
the City of Clearwater.
The immediate vicinity is characterized by a
variety of non-residential uses including a Taco
Bell fast food restaurant to the west, a
McDonald's fast food restaurant across Pegasus
to the east, a veterinarian office to the north and
an Amscot facility as well as vacant land across
Gulf to Bay Boulevard to the south. The

neighborhood surrounding the subject property is completely contained within the Commercial
(C) District with a variety of other fast food restaurants, offices, automotive service stations and
other retail sales and service establishments are located farther to the east and west along Gulf to
Bay Boulevard.
Site History
In May of 1961 the Tenneco Oil Company received approval from the City of Clearwater to
construct a gasoline service station which featured a mid-century modern designed service
station with ample windows, flat cantilevered roof lines and an open floor plan. The strong
vertical and horizontal lines of the building combined with the exterior glass and stone fa�ade
captured the architectural style which had the intention of opening up interior spaces and
bringing the outdoors in.

The structure was demolished and reconstructed as a Texaco gas station with a convenience store
and canopy. The current day vacant structure was most recently operated as a Mobil gas station
which was established in 2004. The former underground storage tanks were removed in June of
2013 and the business tax receipt expired on July 16, 2013.

orientation as the existing, vacant convenience store. Eleven parking spaces will be located
along the east side of the site and the two-way driveway will be maintained along Gulf to Bay
Boulevard and Pegasus Avenue. The existing islands will be reconfigured with vehicular
circulation occurring only on the eastern side of each island. The drive-thru window will be
located along the western side of the building, under the existing canopy. The drive-thru pattern
will create a circular vehicular circulation pattern around the building from the menu board in the
rear, under the canopy to the pick-up window and leaving the site either via one of the two
driveways. The existing canopy will be modified with new column finishes and roof mounted
signage is proposed as part of the incorporation of the canopy into the new design. It shall be
noted that signage is not part of the review at this time and the Applicant is aware that signage
will be handled under separate submittal.
While landscaping is proposed as part of the project, the existing buffer widths on the subject
property, do not meet the provisions of Article 3, Division 12, CDC, and the Applicant has
submitted a Comprehensive Landscaping Application as part of the submittal. The proposed
buffer along the Gulf to Bay Boulevard frontage will be 5 feet where 15 feet is required, a 5 foot
buffer along the Pegasus Avenue frontage where 15 feet is required, an 18 foot buffer along the
north property line where 5 feet is required and a zero foot buffer along the western property line
where 5 feet is required. The existing configuration of the public right-of-way along the street
frontages results in additional open space including the sidewalk and landscaping. The area
provides a total of 12 feet from edge of pavement to proposed parking lot along Gulf to Bay and
18 feet along Pegasus. Additionally, the drainage area along the rear property line provides for
an additional 15 feet of open space to the proposed landscaped buffer.
Special Area Plan
None
Comprehensive Plan
The proposal is in support of the following Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Future Land Use Plan Element
Policy A.2.2.3 Commercial land uses shall be located at the intersection of arterial or collector
streets and should be sited in such a wcay as to minimize the inti-usion of off-site impacts into
residential neighborhoods. New plats and site plans shall discourage the creation of "strip
commercial" zones by insuring that adequate lot depths are maintained and by zoning for
commercial development at major intersections.
The proposal includes a commercial use located at the intersection of an arterial street and is
designed to minimize any impacts to the residential neighborhood to the north by utilizing the
existing driveway openings and site circulation pattern designed to encourage vehicular traffic to
access the site directly from Gulf to Bay or from Pegasus Avenue. The proposal is largely
consistent with this Policy.
Objective A.3.2 — All development or redevelopment initiatives within the City of Clearwater
shall meet the minimum landscaping / tree protection standards of the Community Development

Code in order to promote the preservation of existing tree canopies, the expansion of that
canopy, and the overall quality of development within the City; and
Policy A.3.2.1 All new development or redevelopment of property within the City of Clearwater
shall meet all landscape requirements of the Community Development Code.
Gulf to Bay Boulevard is designated as a Primary Scenic Corridor within Section 3-1203 of the
CDC and within the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Primary scenic corridors are those roadways expected to have enhanced landscape standards
applied to properties along them. Furthermore, Gulf to Bay Boulevard is specifically listed as a
"Corridor to Redevelop" within the Linkages section of the FLUE of the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has submitted a Comprehensive Landscaping Application and while responses to
the criteria were provided, the applicant did not specifically address the issue of enhanced
landscaping along Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
Policy A. S. S.1 Development should be designed to maintain and support the existing or
envisioned character of the neighborhood.
The proposal provides for a use permitted as a minimum standard development within the C
District and a site design generally consistent with other development in the area along Gulf to
Bay Boulevard. The development within the vicinity of the subject parcel is predominantly
commercial uses with drive-thru facilities. As Gulf to Bay Boulevard is one of the City's main
vehicular routes, it has been designed to accommodate vehicular traffic and is an area intended
for commercial development. The proposed project will provide upgrades to the existing vacant
site and provide for an active desirable use within a commercial area.
Goal A. 6- The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible Planning and engdneering
practices, and urban design standards in Order to protect historic resources, ensure
neighborhood Preservation, redevelop blighted areas, and encourage infill Development; and
Objective A.6.4 — Due to the built-out character of the city of Clearwater, compact urban
development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code; and
Policy A.6.4.1 - The development or redevelopment of small parcels �less than one (1) acreJ
which are currently receiving an adequate level of service shall be specifically encouraged by
administration of land development and concurrency management regulatory systems as a
method of promoting urban infill.
The subject property is a former Mobil gasoline service station which has been vacant for the
better part of a year and the gasoline storage tanks were removed in June of 2013. The property
has been the subject of recent Code compliance issues with the City with respect to debris on-site
which have been rectified. The re-use and redevelopment of the site into a use similar to the
previous service station is not possible at this point in time. The property has sat vacant and
available with no other viable re-use proposals or redevelopment options being submitted to the
City. Due to its relatively narrow depth, the site is challenging to redevelop and the current
proposal includes the rehabilitation and renovation of the existing structure and canopy into a
restaurant with a drive-through lane. The continuation of the existing building and canopy with
significant improvements and with an updated and improved site plan including landscaping is

an appropriate reuse of the site. This is the sort of project envisioned as an appropriate recipient
of flexibility from the minimum development parameters as provided by the above Goal,
Objective and Policy with regard to the size of the site (less than one acre), its location within the
urban service area and an attractive, compact redevelopment plan. Therefore, the proposal
supports this Goal, Objective and Policy.
Community Development Code
The proposal supports the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of the CDC as
follows:
Section 1-103.B.1. Allowing property owners to enhance the value of their p�operty through
innovative and creative redevelopment.
The location and shape of the parcel is similar to other parcels in the area, however, the size is
slightly smaller than the majority of the parcels fronting along Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The
proposed restaurant is consistent with the character of the area along Gulf to Bay Boulevard with
regard to use and the proposal will result in a project consistent with elements of the
Comprehensive Plan, as provided above. As the proposed development will take place on a
previously developed site, there are challenges with respect to landscaping buffers, building
setback and configuration. The previous use of a gasoline service station provides a greater
negative impact to the environment than the proposed redevelopment.
Section 1-103.B.2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a negative
impact on the value of surrounding properties and wherever practicable promoting development
and redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding properties.
Surrounding properties to the subject property include a variety of commercial and non-
residential uses consistent with the Commercial District and the redevelopment of the vacant,
former gasoline service station into a viable restaurant use will enhance the immediate area.
Uses to the east and west include fast-food restaurants, ofiices and retail sales and service.
Clearwater High School is located farther to the southeast across Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The
proposed development provides not only for a much greater amount of landscaping than exists
but a landscape plan which provides for an appearance which will be demonstrably better than
the current and previous condition of the site. It is likely that surrounding properties will have
their values enhanced. The proposal is consistent with the level of design (both site and
building) as applied to surrounding axea properties and others throughout the City. It is
anticipated that the proposal will result in a positive impact on those surrounding properties.
Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section.
Section 1-103.B.3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole.
The proposal includes the redevelopment of an existing, vacant gasoline service sta.tion and
convenience store with a new fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru. The proposal will be
consistent with the character of the area with regard to size, scope and scale as compared with
other properties in the neighborhood. While the proposal is expected to have no net increase in
the t� base as a whole, the overall result will be the renovation of a vacant building and
dilapidated canopy structure through construction of a modified attractive building and the
provision of landscaping in combination with site improvements which will support the intent of
the standards of the CDC. It is largely beyond dispute that the City of Clearwater is largely
built-out where the primary option for improvement is the redevelopment and/or refurbishing of
existing sites and buildings. Improving a property typically results in an increase in its value

thereby positively contributing to the City's tax base and overall economy. The net result of the
proposal will be another attractive redevelopment in the community which adds to the
enhancement of surrounding properties. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section.
Section 1-103.D. It is the fut-ther purpose of this Development Code to make the beautification of
the city a matter of the highest priority and to require that existing and future uses and stf-uctures
in the city are attractive and well-maintained to the ma.ximum extent permitted by law.
The proposal includes a new fast-food restaurant with landscape buffers or portions thereof that
are consistent with or slightly modified from the otherwise minimum required width and
configuration. The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed building and site plan are more
attractive than what is currently on the site. The proposal with regard to site, landscape and
building design is consistent with other beautification efforts undertaken, encouraged and
installed by the City and private property owners in the City as a whole and along Gulf to Bay
Boulevard specifically. While a specific Corridor Plan has not been adopted for the Gulf to Bay
corridor, the intent is clear in that properties along a designated Scenic Corridors are expected to
provide enhanced site landscaping.
Section 2-701 Intent of the C District and CG FLUP classification
The CDC provides that it is the intent of the Commercial (C) District to provide the citizens of
the City of Clearwater with convenient access to goods and services throughout the city without
adversely impacting the integrity of residential neighborhoods, diminishing the scenic quality of
the city or negatively impacting the safe and efficient movement of people and things within the
City of Clearwater. Furthermore, it is the intent of the C District that development be consistent
with the Countywide Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) as required by state law. The uses and
development potential of a parcel of land within the C District sha11 be determined by the
standards found in this Development Code as well as the Countywide Future Land Use
Designation of the property, including any acreage or floor area restrictions set forth in the Rules
Concerning the Administration of the Countywide Future Land Use Plan, as amended from time
to time. For those parcels within the C District that have an axea within the boundaries of and
governed by a special area plan approved by the city council and the countywide planning
authority, maximum development potential shall be as set forth for each classification of use and
location in the approved plan.
Section 2.3.3.5.4 of the Countywide Land Use Rules provides that the purpose of the
Commercial General(CG) FLUP classification is to depict those areas of the county that are now
developed, or appropriate to be developed, or appropriate to be developed, in a manner designed
to provide community and countywide commercial goods and services; and to recognize such
areas as primarily consistent with the need, relationship to adjoining uses and with the objective
of encouraging a consolidated, concentrated commercial center providing for the full spectrum of
commercial uses. Permitted Primary Uses include office; personal service%fFce support; retail
commercial; commercial/business service; transient accommodation; wholesale/distribution; and
storage/warehouse. The proposed restaurant with drive-thru is consistent with the permitted
primary uses of the CG FLUP.

Floor Area Ratio (FAR�:
Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-701.1, the m�imum FAR for
properties with a Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) designation of Commercial General (CG) is
0.55. The proposed FAR is 0.10, which is consistent with Code provisions.
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR�
Pursuant to CDC Section 2-701.1, the m�imum allowable ISR is 0.90. The existing ISR is 0.84
and the proposed project will reduce that to an ISR of 0.74, which is consistent with Code
provisions.
Minimum Lot Area and Width:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no minimum required lot area or lot width for a
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to
CDC Table 2-702, Minimum Standard Development Standards, the required lot area and lot
width for a restaurant is a minimum of 10,000 square feet and 100 feet, respectively. The lot
area is 20,283 square feet and the lot width is 135 feet which meet the Code requirements.
Minimum Setbacks:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive
Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-
702, front and side setbacks to primary structures, restaurant use, are 25 and 10 feet, respectively.
Rear setbacks do not apply to the subject site as it is a corner lot with two front and two side
setbacks under the provisions of Section 3-903.D., CDC. The proposal includes front (south and
east) setbacks to the building of 33 and 38 feet, respectively. The proposed side (north and west)
setbacks to building are 52 and 54 feet, respectively and to dumpster enclosure the setback will
be two feet (west) and 10 feet (north).
Setbacks to parking are 15 feet from the front property line (south and east) and are otherwise
based upon the required landscape buffer which is fve feet for the north and west sides of the
property. The proposed setback to parking or other like vehicular use areas along the front
(south and east) are proposed to five feet and along the side (north and west) setbacks, 18 feet
and zero feet, respectively. The proposal does not meet the minimum standards for landscaping
buffers to parking or other like vehicular use areas and the applicant has included a
Comprehensive Landscaping Application as part of the submittal.
Maximum Building Height•
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, there is no maa�imum height for a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to the aforementioned
CDC Table 2-702, the maximum allowable height for restaurant uses is 25 feet. The proposed
building height of 24.67 feet is less than the maximum permitted height and is therefore
consistent with the CDC.
Minimum O� f'f Street Parkin,�
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-704, the minimum off-street parking requirement, pursuant to CDC
Table 2-702, for restaurants is 7-12 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. This
results in a requirement of 14-23 parking spaces for a 1,926 square foot restaurant. The proposal
provides 14 parking spaces or 7.3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. The applicant

has provided a Parking Demand Study (prepared by Gulf Coast Consulting) that found that a
maximum of ten off-street parking spaces were occupied during any hour of the study period
(weekday, 7am-l0am) at the comparable quick-service restaurant. As such, the parking demands
for a quick-service restaurant with a drive-thru land are easily satisfied with the proposed 14 off-
street parking spaces. A copy of the Study has been provided to the Board for their review.
Mechanical Ec�uipment:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment must be screened so as
not to be visible from public streets and/or abutting properties. The Applicant has not requested
relief from this section and therefore approval of the proposed project shall be conditional upon
the required screening of any proposed mechanical equipment. Additionally, this requirement
was reviewed with the Applicant during the DRC meeting and the Applicant has responded that
the project will comply.
S�ht Visibilitv Triangles:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will
obstruct views at a level between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-
foot sight visibility triangles. This proposal has been reviewed by the CiTy's Traffic Engineering
Department and been found to be acceptable. Landscaping planted within the sight visibility
triangles will need to be maintained to meet the Code requirements. This requirement was
reviewed with the Applicant during the DRC meeting and the Applicant has responded that the
project will comply.
Utilities:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-912, for development that does not involve a subdivision, all utilities
including individual distribution lines must be installed underground unless such undergrounding
is not practicable. All utilities which serve the site are currently underground. Additionally, this
requirement was reviewed with the Applicant during the DRC meeting and the Applicant has
responded that the project will comply.
Landscaping:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D, required perimeter buffers are based on adjacent uses and/or
street types. The required landscape buffers are 15 feet (south — arterial street), 10 feet (east —
local street), and five feet (north, east — non-residential). In addition, Section 3-1202.E., CDC,
provides that interior landscaping must be provided which is equal to or greater than 10 percent
of the vehicular use area. The proposed vehicular use area is 12,145 square feet requiring 1,214
square feet of interior landscaped area. Section 3-1202.E., CDC, requires that all facades facing
a street must include a foundation planting area of at least five feet of depth along the entire
fa�ade excluding areas necessary for ingress/egress.
This proposal provides buffer widths along the south (five feet), east (five feet), and west (zero
feet) which do not meet the requirements of Section 3-1202.D., CDC. The proposal otherwise
meets the remaining requirements of Article 3, Division 12, CDC. It should be mentioned that
the existing landscaping buffer areas are being enhanced through preservation of some of the
existing planting materials as well as additional plantings being provided.

As noted, landscape buffer widths do not meet the provisions of Article 3, Division 12, CDC.
The applicant has mitigated the dimensional deficiency with regard to buffer width through the
provision of landscape material in excess of the minimum otherwise required by the CDC. In
addition, the applicant is proposing to incorporate a 504 square foot landscaping island along the
western property line. Additionally, plantings will be incorporated along the south, east and
north facing foundations of the proposed renovated structure. The landscape plan includes a
variety of shade, ornamental and palm trees (live oak, crepe myrtle, Sylvester palm, bald cypress,
eagleston holly and washington palm), as well as shrubs and ground covers (fire croton, holly,
pringle, jasmin, liriope and ferns). The buffers will be planted in such a manner as to create a
tiered effect providing adequate buffers between the subject property and adjacent rights-of-way
and properties. It should be noted that where the western buffer is zero feet in width the adjacent
use consists of parking and landscaping for the Taco Bell fast-food restaurant.
Solid Waste:
A dumpster is proposed at the northwest corner of the site. The dumpster area will be screened
by a solid wall with a finish to match the primary exterior color of the restaurant. The proposal
has been found_to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste and Fire Departments.
Si na e:
While signage has been depicted in the proposed drawings, signage is not being reviewed as part
of the current submittal and will be handled under a separate future signage application.
COMPLIANCE WITH GENERAL APPLICABILITY STANDARDS
The proposal supports the General Applicability requirements of this Code as follows:
Section 3-914.A.1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk,
coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
The proposal includes the conversion of the existing, vacant automobile service station with
convenience store into a Dunkin Donuts restaurant with a drive-thru. The subject property is
located within the Commercial District along Gulf to Bay Boulevard which is one of the main
vehicular corridors through the City with a variety of retail sales, services, restaurants and
automobile oriented uses. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section.
Section 3-914.A.2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage
use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.
The proposal will not impair the value of adjacent properties. Therefore;
consistent with this CDC Section.
development and
the proposal is
Section 3-914.A.3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safery of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
The proposal will likely have no effect, negative or otherwise, on the health or safety of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC
Section.

° � ����.,r.�_��:- �
The proposal has been designed to have a minimal effect on traffic congestion. The development
of the vacant, former gasoline service station into a fast-food restaurant will cause the site to go
from underutilized to providing a service within this commercial portion of the City. It is not
anticipated that the proposed use will generate any additional traffic above what the previous
commercial use generated. The improvements to the site include additional parking than
previously provided and increased efficiency in vehicular circulation through the site. Therefore,
the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
The Applicant submitted a revised site plan on January 15, 2014 which details that the site will
be able to accommodate eight cars stacking in the drive-thru lane from the pick-up window to
ordering board and around the back of the building.
Section 3-914.A.5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the
immediate vicinity.
As previously discussed, the community character consists primarily of a variety of commercial
and vehicular oriented uses including retail sales and service, overnight accommodations, auto
service stations and restaurants. The modern architectural style of the building combined with
lush landscaping will complement and enhance adjacent properties. Therefore, the proposal is
consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3-914.A.6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including
visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties.
The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse visual and acoustic impacts on
adjacent properties. There should be no olfactory impacts of any kind. The existing building
and canopy will be renovated and an addition will be added to the building to provide efficient
space to service the walk-in clientele as well as the drive-thru patrons. Therefore, the proposal is
consistent with this CDC Section.
COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT
The proposal supports the specific Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria pursuant
to CDC Section 2-704.E.1-6 as follows:
The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use
and/or development standards set forth in this zoning district.
The proposed project includes the rehabilitation of and renovation to the existing site
structures and buildings. Additionally, the existing driveway openings along Gulf to Bay
Boulevard and Pegasus Avenue will be utilized for the proposed project. While the proposed
project will bring the site into compliance with many of the requirements of the CDC, full
and complete compliance without flexibility is impossible due to the existing site constraints.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
2. The development or redevelopment will be consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, as well as with the general purpose, inient and basic planning
objectives of this Code, and with the intent and purpose of this zoning district.
The redevelopment of the site will be consistent with a variety of Goa1s, Objectives and
Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan as well as with the general purpose, intent and
basic planning objectives of the CDC as examined in detail previously in this document.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.

3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding properties.
As mentioned, all surrounding properties are developed with a variety of commercial and
automobile oriented uses including restaurants, overnight accommodations, retail sales and
services. The proposal should have no impact on the ability of adjacent properties to
redevelop or otherwise be improved. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC
Section.
4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed
development.
As discussed in detail, the proposal is similar to and will support adjacent uses. In addition,
the existing orientation of the building, proposed parking and site layout is similar to adjacent
properties. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
S. The proposed use shall otherwise be permitted by the underlying future land use category, be
compatible with adjacent land uses, will not substantially alter the essential use
characteristics of the neighborhood; and shall demonstrate compliance with one or more of
six objectives:
a. The proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible
standard or flexible development use;
The proposed restaurant use is a permitted use within the C District and the Gulf to Bay
corridor is one of the primary vehicular routes serving the City and providing for similar
type uses. Additionally, the proposed project will redevelop a former automobile service
station which has sat vacant since spring of 2013 and has not been contributing to the
economy of the City. The vacant site has also been the subject of previous Code issues
and violations which have been completely abated. Therefore, the proposal is consistent
with this CDC Section.
6. Flexibility with regard to use, lot width, required setbacks, height and off-street parking are
justified based on demonstrated compliance with all of the following design objectives:
a. The proposed development will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of the sut-rounding properties for uses permitted in this zoning district.
As mentioned, surrounding properties are developed with a variety of uses typical of a
commercial nature including hotels, retail, restaurants, and automobile oriented uses.
The proposed restaurant will support and complement surrounding uses with regard to
form and function. The proposal will have no effect on the ability of surrounding
properties to be redeveloped or otherwise improved. Therefore, the proposal is consistent
with this CDC Section.
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the
city.
The subject property is not located within a special plan area and therefore, this CDC
Section is not applicable to the proposal.

u ,m + , �. , .: �
c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or
emerging character of an area.
The proposal provides for a use similar in type and site configuration to other existing
surrounding uses within this area of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The property is located
within the C District and provides for a permitted use and therefore, the proposal is
consistent with this CDC Section.
d. In order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance, the proposed
development incorporates a substantial number of the following design elements:
■ Changes in horizontal building planes;
■ Use of architectural details such as columns, cornices, stringcourses, pilasters,
porticos, balconies, railings, awnings, etc.;
■ Variety in materials, colors and textures;
■ Distinctive fenestf-ation patterns;
■ Building step backs; and
■ Distinctive roofs forms.
The proposed project involves the rehabilitation of the existing building and canopy
structure. The resulting design continues the strong horizontal elements of the existing
canopy as well as incorporating additional horizontal banding into the proposed expanded
building. The proposed window fenestration will further define the horizontal emphasis
and grounding of the structure. The proposed building addition will also provide a
physical break in the canopy which will result in a cantilevered look as it extends over the
walkway and drive-thru areas. The proposed orange "dunkin donuts" color banding will
provide an accent to the building and further reinforces the horizontal emphasis of the
design. The proposed new building entrance features a vertical element which helps to
provide stability to the building as well as identify the user entrance. The exterior color
and finishes include the majority of earth tones ranging from sand to slate gray with each
color gradient defined through horizontal orientation. The proposed design also echoes
back to similar design elements of a mid-century designed structure which was approved
for the site in 1961 by the City of Clearwater. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with
this CDC Section.
e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design
and appropriate distances beiween buildings.
The proposed project includes landscaping buffers and foundation plantings however, the
Applicant has included a Comprehensive Landscaping Application. The required buffer
areas for the subject property are 15 feet along Gulf to Bay (south), 15 feet along Pegasus
(east) and five feet each along the western and northern property lines. The total square
footage of each buffer area is as follows: 2,025 SF along the Gulf to Bay frontage, 1,500
SF along the Pegasus frontage, 750 SF along the western property line and 675 SF along
the northern property line which results in a total of 4,950 square feet. As the proposed
project is utilizing the existing building and paved portions of the lot, limitations exist
with respect to landscaping. The proposed square footage of the buffers areas will be 590
SF along Gulf to Bay, 768 SF along Pegasus, 828 SF along the western property line and
2,009 SF along the northern property line resulting in a total of 4,196 square feet.
Overall the proposed landscaping buffer area is deficient by 754 square feet of area which

is a result of the project utilizing the existing building footprint and existing vehicular
circulation areas. In order for the site to accommodate the additionallandscaping buffer
area approximately four parking spaces would need to be converted to landscaped areas
thus reducing the amount of parking spaces from 14 to 10 spaces. The project is
proposing 14 spaces which is 7.3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area and is
below the 50% requirement of 9.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area and the
Applicant is required to provide a Parking Demand Study. Reducing the amount of off-
street parking to accommodate landscaping would negatively impact the site circulation
and further exacerbate the deficiency in the amount of parking. Additionally, the
proposed project includes foundation plantings beds with extensive plant materials.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 4-206.D.4: Burden of proof. The burden of proof is upon the applicant

Land Resource Review Land Resource Review
1. Prior to CDB: Provide an accurate tree survey showing ali existing trees.
Spec�cally there are two oaks in the northwest comer of the property and
three bottle brush trees along the north property line. Also trees within 25 feet
of the property that may be impacted by the developmenUredevelopment must
be addressed.
2. Prior to CDB: Provide a tree inventory conducted by an ISA Certified
Arborist rating all trees on the site and any adjacent trees within 25 feet that
may be impacted by developmenUredevelopment. The City of Clearvvater
uses a 0-6 scale for rating trees. I can email a summary on this scale if
needed.
3_ Prior to CDB: Provide a Tree preservation plan (TPP) clarifying how the
existing trees will be retained and protected in a viable and healthy state
during and after the construction/redevelopment. The TPP must be developed
by a certified arborist. TPPs typically clarify the location of any root pruning,
tree barricades, etc. Specifically the asphalt by the 19 inch oak on the east
property line is lifting/cracking presumably from roots. Clarify if and how this
will be resurfaced and how damage to the tree and its root system will be
mitigated. In the TPP clarify any/all crown raising needed for the proposed
dumpster location under the existing tree canopy. Any and all pruning must be
done by an ISA certified arborist.
4. Prior to CDB: Revise the proposed landscape plan so that the proposed
landscape material meets City standards. Specifically palms must have a
minimum of 10 feet clear trunk, not 8 or 6.
5. Prior to CDB: Clarify the dimension of the proposed landscape island. It
appears to be 17 feet in width and this would be more appropriate for a shade
tree or more than one palm. Or the site plan could be better revised to have
additional landscape are added to the southwest buffer along Guff to Bay to
give the existing oaks more room as well as provide more buffering.
6. Prior to CDB: Revise the landscape plan to clearly and accurately show
property lines and sight visibility triangles.

Tree inventory Report
1840 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard
Clearwater, Florida
December 9, 2013
Prepared bv: Alan Mayberry, Consulting Arborist
ISA Certified Arborist #SO-0305
Prepared for: Spencer and Associates Architecture Inc.
The following report is submitted by Alan Mayberry, Consulting Arborist, and includes findings
I believe are accurate based on my education, experience and knowledge in the field of
Arboriculture. My findings are clinical in nature and based on scientific research in the field of
Arboriculture. In addition, my findings are based on personal observations of over 30 years of
experience in the broad field of Arboriculture. I have no interest personally or financially in
this property other than the preparation of this report and I believe my report is factual and
unbiased. The purpose for this report is to conduct an assessment of trees at the subject
property in respect to their health and structure and considerations for preservation
potential.
Site Overview
The subject property is a commercial site composed of trees planted for landscape code
purposes. The tree canopy is dominated by live oak (Quercus virginiana) trees and the
majority of the trees are growing within landscape buffers that are too small to accommodate
shade tree species. In general, the condition of the site trees reflects overall neglect. The
irrigation system if it exists is not operable evidenced by dieback in tree canopies. The trees
have not been structurally pruned and consequently most of the trees have developed
codominant trunks with some having included bark. The pruning cuts are mostly improper
flush cuts performed to raise branches for clearance. Tree roots have damaged the sidewalk
and pavement in a few locations and curbs have caused some roots to circle within the
narrow landscape buffers. In addition, essentially all of the previous shrub species have died
and the landscape buffers have been infiltrated by the invasive exotic Brazilian pepper
(Schinus terebinthifolius) and carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) trees.
The existing landscape buffer adjacent to Gulf—to—Bay Boulevard is not wide enough to
contain the live oak tree or any shade tree species. In addition to rooting area constraints
there is an overhead utility wire present. I recommend accent tree or palm species for this
location. The buffer along Pegasus Avenue is also too narrow to accommodate shade tree
1
species unless the sidewalk is shifted to the east and part of the landscape buffer is located in
the city right of way. The rear green space which includes a retention area contains to live oak
trees that have good structure and health. These trees represent the best opportunity for tree
preservation if the area is preserved as green space.
The following tree inventory provides an overall condition rating for all trees and palms
defined as protected species by the provisions of City of Clearwater Code. All protected trees
on site with a trunk diameter of 4" and greater and palm species with a 10' clear trunk and
greater are included in the tree inventory. In addition, all protected trees located within 25' of
the property line which will be impacted by the proposed site development will be assessed.
The overall condition rating used in this report reflects an assessment of a tree's health,
structural integrity and to a lesser degree its aesthetic contribution. The Tree Inventory Data
section which follows the tree inventory provides an explanation of the rating system and how
individual trees are scored and evaluated. The methodology for conducting this tree
assessment is a Leve! 2: Basic Assessment Process, as defined in the lnternational Society of
Arboriculture's Best management Practices, Tree Risk Assessment. Trees are assessed by visual
observation of the foliage, major scaffold branches, secondary branches, the trunk and
portions of the root system that are visible.
NOTE: A tree inventory is typically valid for 3-5 years. However, events such as drought,
lightning, mechanical root damage, freeze, improper maintenance and severe storms can
downgrade the rated value of a tree. Conversely, remedial maintenance can upgrade the
value. If you suspect that a tree has been adversely affected, have the tree inspected by a
qualified International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist.
NOTE: Whenever possible it is advised to adhere to inventory recommendations when
selecting trees to be preserved. For example, trees or palms rated 4.0 and higher are strong
candidates to be considered for preservation, while trees or palms rated 2.0 and lower should
be removed unless otherwise noted in the inventory. Trees or palms rated 2.5 are generally
recommended for removal unless remedial work is performed to upgrade them. Trees or
palms rated 3.0 and 3.5 are average trees that have good potential and are worthy of
preservation efforts.
NOTE: Tree size references trunk diameter in inches for trees (measured at 4.5' above grade
unless the tree forks below that point - then the diameter is measured at the narrowest area
between grade and the fork. Palm species are measured in feet of clear trunk (the distance in
feet from grade to where the first frond emanates from the trunk.
NOTE: Any references in the following tree inventory recommending tree pruning should only
be perFormed by International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborists skilled in
pruning to the standards defined in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
publication, ANSI-A300 Pprt 1: Tree, Shrub and Other Woody Plant Maintenance — standards
2
Practices, Pruning and the International Society of Arboriculture's companion publication:
Best Management Practices, Tree Pruning (Revised 2008).
NOTE: Any reference to future monitoring of trees or further inspections of trees should only
be performed by ISA Certified Arborists who have verifiable proof that they have attended
and received CEU's (continuing educational units) in ISA supported tree hazard risk
assessment seminars.
NOTE: Any recommendations for cabling and bracing of trees in this tree inventory should
only be performed by ISA Certified Arborists skilled in this arboricultural practice and in
conformance with the methodology as defined within the International Society of
Arboriculture's publication: Best Management Practices, Tree Support Systems: Cabling,
Bracing, Guying and Propping (Revised).
NOTE: Any recommendations in this tree inventory for structural pruning should only be
performed by ISA Certified Arborists skilled in this type of pruning and in conformance with
the methodology as defined within the International Society of Arboriculture's publication:
Best Management Practices, Tree Pruning (Revised 2008).
This tree inventory was conducted on December 8, 2013
The following tree inventory starts with tree #1 and ends with tree #12. Numbered
aluminum tags are placed on the trunk of each tree in the field. All trees and palms are
numbered on the proposed site plan.
Tree Inventory
Tree # Size Species Rating
NOTE: Trees #1- #3 are located within a 4.5' wide landscape buffer adjacent to Gulf- to-Bay
Boulevard.
1. 12" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 2.0
Comments: This tree is located in a 4.5' wide non-irrigated landscape buffer adjacent to Gulf
to Bay Boulevard. The tree has an overhead utility wire through the upper canopy. The trunk
forms codominant scaffold branches with included bark 6.5' above grade. The trunk and
lower scaffold branches have previous flush cuts. The main leader is 75% dead. The crown
density is low and the live crown ratio is 35%. The trunk flare is against the sidewalk.
Recommend removal of this tree due to poor overall health and structure. Recommend
removal.
3
2. 15"' live oak (Quercus virginiana) 2.0
Comments: The trunk of this tree forms a tri-dominant trunk 5' above grade with tight angled
v-shaped crotches that will soon become included. The three major scaffold branches have
considerable dieback preventing the possibility of developing a central leader. The trunk has a
flush cut that stripped during pruning on the east side 7' above grade. The overall pruning is
poor. The tree also has a branch graft that now appears to be a branch with a hole as one of
the grafted branches was removed. The foliage reflects a tree in stress as the tree has
uncharacteristically small leaves with some chlorosis present. The crown density is below
average. Recommend removal due to poor health and structure. Recommend removal.
3. 12" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 2.5
Comments: This tree has average health. The leaves are somewhat small for a live oak but the
branch tips are foliated and the crown displays growth at the tips. The crown density is
average and the live crown ratio is 55%. The trunk forms 2 codominant branches 5.5' above
grade that will soon be included. Two additional codominant branches are formed 6" higher.
There is a flush cut in the crotch of one of the codominant branches where another
codominant branch was removed. The wound is not closing properly and the resulting decay
will weaken the structure at this point. This tree currently has sufficient health but the poor
structure and location of the tree do not warrant preservation. Recommend removal.
Note: Trees #4  are located in a landscape buffer along Pegasus Avenue.
4. 17" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 3.0
Comments: This tree is located in a triangular shaped landscape island that is 9' wide where
the trunk is located. The trunk is 2' 7" from the sidewalk. The crown density is average and the
live crown ratio is approximately 55%. The leaf size is normal and the tips are foliated. The
trunk forms a codominant 9' above grade that has a wide u-shaped crotch. The tree would be
difficult to prune into a central leader tree but the crotch will not develop included bark, so
the best strategy for pruning if the tree is preserved, is to periodically perform reduction cuts
to reduce weight on the two codominant branches. The tree has experienced numerous
pruning cuts made to accommodate the tree to its environment. The tree has good structure
and sufficient health to warrant preservation. The tree however, will likely cause structural
damage to the sidewalk in the future and is too close to be root pruned. If this tree is
preserved, the sidewalk may have to be shifted to the east in the future. This appears to be a
viable option as there is sufficient green space between the sidewalk and the edge of
pavement of Pegasus Avenue. The vehicular use area to the west of the landscape island will
not be disturbed during the construction process so root loss is not expected to occur.
Recommend preservation as this tree provides tree canopy along the Gulf-to-Bay corridor. If
preserved the tree canopy will need to be raised to a minimum height of 15' over the street
and vehicular use area. Recommend preservation.
4
5. 20" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 2.5
Comments: This tree is located in a 4.5' wide landscape buffer with the trunk located 1' 4"
from the west island curb which also appears to be next to underground storage tanks. The
tree appears to already be damaging the concrete on the west side and the sidewalk on the
east side. The trunk of this tree forms a codominant 5' above grade that has a very small u-
shaped crotch that will likely become included in the future. One scaffold branch then forms
an included codominant branch just above the main codominant. The crown density is above
average with deep green leaves of normal size. The live crown ratio is 50%. The tree would
require a lot of structural pruning over a long time period to develop good structure. In
addition, the roots will continue to damage the asphalt and sidewalk. The only possibility for
preservation for this tree is to increase the landscape buffer east and west and attain a
minimum width of 12', otherwise recommend removal. Recommend preservation.
6. 6" laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) 2.5
Comments: This tree is growing within three trunks of a bottlebrush tree. The trunk has a
straight central leader form but has some damage from the bottlebrush trunks that appears
minor. There is a flush cut 4' above grade which has produced considerable callus tissue and
should close without significant decay. The crown is very restricted and would need structure
pruning to develop a single leader tree. The crown density is average and the tips display
vigorous growth. The tree has sufficient health and structure to warrant preservation,
however the existing swale 2' north of the trunk and the proposed pavement on the south
side are not favorable for future growth and stability. Recommend removal.
7. 6", 6", 8" bottlebrush (Callistemon rigidus) 2.0
Comments: This tree has three trunks that are attached at the base forming a basal
codominant attachment that is showing some deterioration. There is a small wound on the
tension side of a trunk leaning to the west and some dieback in the crown. The bottlebrush is
prone to basal failure when it reaches maturity. Recommend removal.
8. 6" bottlebrush (Callistemon rigidus) 2.0
Comments: This tree has sufficient health but has a structural concern. The trunk is leaning
and attached to the decaying stump of a previously existing and larger codominant trunk. The
previous trunk prohibited the formation of adequate tension roots needed to support the
lean. In addition, the decay will likely progress into the subject tree as there is a graft present.
Recommend removal.
9. 6" bottlebrush (Callistemon rigidus) 2.0
5
Comments: This tree has a severe lean and is also attached to the decaying trunk that tree #8
is attached to at the base. The tree leans to the west and is also compromised in its ability to
form adequate tension roots. Recommend removal.
10. 28" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 4.0
Comments: This tree has very good structure and health. The crown density is good and the
live crown ratio is 75%. The foliage is deep green and the tips display vigorous growth. The
trunk is located 7' behind the existing curb. A large branch was removed from the trunk via a
flush cut 6' above grade on the south side but it has closed successfully. The trunk forms a
codominant 12' above grade but the attachment appears strong as it has a wide u-shaped
crotch. The two scaffold branch fork and support healthy canopies with good structure. This is
a high quality tree and is recommended for preservation. There is a shed west of the tree that
does not have a floor. It is recommended that all existing structures not related to the new
site development be removed from this area by hand labor. In addition, prevent any grubbing
activities in the existing green area that will disturb roots. Recommend preservation.
11. 19" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 3.5
Comments: This tree is growing adjacent to the wooden stockade fence surrounding the shed
and the trunk is growing into and damaging the roof of the shed. The trunk forms codominant
scaffold branches 6' above grade with a wide u-shaped attachment and the codominant
branches continue to fork and produce u-shaped crotches giving the tree overalt good
structure. The tree is one-sided due to its location of 6.5' from tree #10. The live crown ratio is
40% and the crown density average. The tips are foliated. This is a good tree that has an
underdeveloped canopy due to competition from the larger 28" diameter live oak. The trees
can coexist in this green space. Recommend preservation.
NOTE: Tree #12 is an off-site tree growing within a landscape buffer of the adjacent site to the
west.
12. 10" live oak (Quercus virginiana) 3.0
Comments: This tree is located off-site growing within a landscape buffer of the adjacent
property to the west. The tree is located behind a 13" high concrete retaining wall. The
proposed site development should not cause a significant impact on this tree's root system
due to the retaining wall. The canopy of this tree will need to be raised.
This concludes the tree inventory. The following is an explanation of the tree inventory
rating system.
Tree Inventory Data
A tree inventory is a written record of a tree's condition at the time of inspection. It is a
valuable tool to prioritize tree maintenance and remove trees with problems that could lead
[�
to failure and cause personal injury or property damage. The tree inventory lists four codes,
tree#, trunk diameter, tree species, and overall condition rating. It also includes a comment
section with specific supportive data for the rating. The following is an explanation of the data
used in the inventory:
Tree# - location - Each tree is assigned a number for reference in the inventory that
corresponds with a number on the site plan or a number on a tree tag that identifies the
location of the tree in the field.
Size — Tree size is a measure of the tree's trunk diameter measured at 4.5' above grade. If the
trunk forks at 4.5' above grade the diameter is measured at the narrowest trunk diameter
below the fork. Palm species are measured in feet of clear trunk (C.T.).
Species — Each tree is listed by its common and botanical name the first time it is listed in the
inventory. For simplicity, the tree is listed by its common name thereafter.
Condition Ratin� — The condition rating is an assessment of the tree's overall structure and
systemic health. Elements of structure include: 1) the presence of cavities, decayed wood,
split, cracked, rubbing branches etc., 2) branch arrangements and attachments, i.e., well-
spaced scaffold branches vs. several branches emanating from the same area on the trunk,
codominant stems vs. single leader trunk, and presence of a branch bark ridge vs. included
bark.
Elements of systemic health relate to the tree's overall energy system measured by net
photosynthesis (food made) vs. respiration (food used). A tree with good systemic health will
have a vascular system that moves water, nutrients and photosynthate within the tree as
needed. Indicators of a healthy systemic system used in the overall condition rating include: 1)
live crown ratio (the percentage live crown a tree has relative to its height, 2) crown density
(density of the foliage), 3) tip growth (foliated branch tips and shoot elongation)
The overall condition rating also takes into consideration the species, appearance and any
unique features. The rating scale is 0-6 with 0 being a dead tree and 6 a specimen. Increments
of 0.5 are used to increase accuracy. Examples of the tree rating system are as follows:
0- A dead tree
1- A tree that is dying, severely declining, hazardous, harboring a communicable disease or a
tree designated by the State of Florida's Exotic Pest Plant Council as a category #1 ecological
pest e.g., Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius). A tree with a rating of 1 should be
removed as it is beyond treatment and is a threat to cause personal injury or property damage
or is an invasive species.
2— A tree exhibiting serious structural defects such as codominant stems with included bark
at or near the base, large cavities, large areas of decayed wood, crown dieback, cracked/split
7
scaffold branches etc. In addition, a tree with health issues such as low energy, low live crown
ratio, serious disease or insect problems, nutritional deficiencies or soil pH problems. A tree
with a rating of #2 should be removed unless the problem(s) can be treated. A tree with a#2
condition rating will typically require a considerable amount of maintenance to qualify for an
upgrade of the condition rating.
3- A tree with average structure and systemic health and with problems that can be corrected
with moderate maintenance. A tree with a codominant stem not in the basal area that will be
subordinated or cabled and braced or a codominant stem that will soon have included bark
can be included as a#3. A tree with a rating of #3 has average appearance, crown density and
live crown ratio and should be preserved if possible.
4- A tree with a rating of 4 has good structure and systemic health with minor problems that
can be easily corrected. The tree should have an attractive appearance and be essentially free
of any debilitating disease or insect problem. The tree should also have above average crown
density and live crown ratio. Mature trees exhibiting scars, old wounds, small cavities or other
problems that are not debilitating can be included in this group particularly if they possess
unique form or other aesthetic amenities relating to their age. A tree with a rating of 4 is
valuable to the property and should be preserved.
5— A tree with live crown ratio of at least 65%, very good crown density, exceptional structure
and systemic health and virtually free of debilitating insect or disease problems or nutritional
deficiencies. A tree in this category should have a balanced crown with exceptional aesthetic
amenities. A tree in this category should be of a species that possesses characteristics
inherent to longevity and withstanding construction impacts. A tree with a#5 rating lends
considerable value to the site and should be incorporated into the site design. A tree with a#5
rating is worthy of significant site plan modification to ensure its preservation.
6— A specimen tree. A specimen tree is a tree that possesses a combination of superior
qualities in regards to systemic health, structural strength, crown density, live crown ratio,
form (balanced crown), overall aesthetic appeal, size, species, age and uniqueness. A great
effort should be made to preserve a specimen tree including shifting structures that would
adversely impact the tree. In addition, a specimen tree should have an undisturbed rooting
area equal to its dripline (equal to the branch spread) to grow in. Only an experienced and
competent International Society of Arboriculture (I.S.A.) Certified Arborist should be allowed
to perform maintenance on a specimen tree.
Comments: The comment section serves to note observations relative to the tree but not
covered in the inventory data or expands on information in the inventory data. It may include
maintenance recommendations to improve the tree's overall condition rating. It may also
have recommendations on whether to remove or preserve a tree.

PARHING STUDY
FOR
PROPOSED QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANT
1840 GULF TO BAY BOULEVARD
CLEARWATER , FLORIDA

I. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is seeking approval to utilize the building located at # 1840 Gulf to
Bay Boulevard as a small quick service restaurant with drive-through service. The
property is located on the north side of Gulf to Bay Boulevard between Pegasus
Avenue and Orion Avenue. (See Figure 1) The redevelopment of the property is
the subject of a Flexible Development Application. This application requires an
assessment of the parking adequacy for the operation and it was determined a
parking study should be completed.
As part of the redevelopment a parking lot will be constructed to include a total of
14 parking spaces. The building is proposed to contain 1,926 square feet of floor
space and will be equipped with a drive-through lane. The exact user is unknown,
however it is anticipated the quick service restaurant model will rely heavily on
drive-through service, as well as walk-up service due to its proximity to
Clearwater High School.
II. METHODOLOGY
Prior to conducting this analysis a methodology was established with the City of
Clearwater staff. It was agreed GCC would conduct a parking accumulation study
of a similar quick service restaurant on a normal weekday between 7 AM and 10
AM. The agreed to comparable restaurant is the Dunkin Donuts which is located
at #600 S. Missouri Avenue, just south of Turner Street. The Dunkin Donuts is
open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is located on a 0.48 acre site with 2,100
square feet of gross building area, and contains 25 code-compliant parking spaces.
(23 standard + 2 handicapped) This Dunkin Donuts restaurant contains 8 tables
and is open daily between 5 AM- 10 PM except for Sunday hours of 5 AM — 9
PM. The study area included the existing parking lot only since public parking
lots are not in close proximity to the site.
Both the existing Dunkin Donuts and the proposed quick service restaurant at the
subject property are similar in building size, similar in lot size, and are both
located in mixed-use areas containing some retail/commercial, offices, and
moderate density residential uses nearby.
Per the Community Development Code there is a minimum parking requirement
of 7-12 spaces per 1,000 square feet of restaurant space. According to strict
interpretation of the code, the 1,926 square foot quick service restaurant would
require between 13 and 23 parking spaces. The code provides for reducing the
required number of parking spaces to recognize the special situations that exist.
The Community Development Code allows a reduction in parking if the property
will require fewer parking spaces due to unique operations or non-parking
demand-generating functions. The applicant believes the quick service nature of
the proposed development being located in a mixed-use area containing retail,
residential, office and institutional uses will encourage drive-through and walk-up

patrons such that parking needs will be reduced. Clearwater High School is a
large institutional use which is only 2-blocks to the east of the site.
III. EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS OF DUNHIN DONUTS
Existing conditions were established by conducting parking lot counts between
the hours of 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM on Tuesday February 4, 2014. The parking
lot was checked every thirty minutes for the number of spaces that were occupied.
The number of occupied spaces was noted and an accumulated total was obtained.
Tuesday Februarv 4, 2014
On Tuesday (normal weekday) parking demand varied significantly throughout
the study period from a low of 3 occupied spaces (12%) at 7 AM to a peak
demand of 10 occupied spaces (40%) at 8 AM. Table 1 provides a sub-hourly
tabulation and Figure 2 provides a graph of sub-hourly parking space occupancy.
Based on the data collected the Dunkin Donuts site has an actual peak parking
demand of 4.76 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. This ratio (10 spaces /
2,100 s� may be transferred to similar quick service restaurants in similar areas.
As such, the parking demand for the proposed quick service restaurant at 1840
Gulf to Bay Boulevard was calculated at 10 parking spaces.
IV. FUTURE CONDITIONS WITH REDEVELOPMENT
The proposed modifications would result in 14 on-site parking spaces. The site
would require between 13-23 parking spaces according to strict interpretation of
the code. Using the data obtained from a comparable quick service restaurant the
maximum demand for the proposed redevelopment would be 10 spaces, and 4
additional spaces would be available for overflow if needed. Therefore, the
construction of the parking lot to contain 14 spaces will still provide adequate
parking for the proposed operation at this site.
V. CONCLUSION
This analysis was conducted in accordance with a specific methodology
established with City of Clearwater staff. This analysis demonstrates a maximum
of 10 parking spaces were occupied during any hour of the study period at a
comparable quick service restaurant, and that equates to 10 spaces for the
proposed development. As such, the parking demands for a quick service
restaurant with a drive-through lane are easily satisfied. With the redevelopment
of site providing 14 parking spaces, the parking demands can be accommodated.
The proposed 14 spaces falls within the range allowed by the Community
Development Code and the flexibility may be granted by the Community
Development Board.
