As a Special Area Plan, this document is the land use plan for Downtown guiding future development through goals, objectives and policies and by the establishment of development potential for six unique character districts. As a Community Redevelopment Plan, this document sets the policies that guide future actions and projects of the City's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as it seeks to redevelop the central business district of Clearwater and its newly expanded area. A brief history of Clearwater's Downtown planning activities will assist in setting the context for this Downtown Plan. In 1970, Clearwater was an early leader in the downtown revitalization field in Florida demonstrated by the establishment of a Downtown Development Board (DDB) through a special act of the Florida Legislature. In 1971, Clearwater citizens approved special taxing district powers for the DDB. In 1976, the DDB and the Clearwater City Commission jointly commissioned a major Downtown planning study. The Plan for Downtown Clearwater was presented in 1977 to the City by the principal consulting firm RTKL Associates, Inc. The final Plan included an urban design component, policy direction through goals and objectives and an implementation program. The City of Clearwater initially established a Community Redevelopment Agency and a Redevelopment Plan for Downtown in 1981. At the original inception, the Community Redevelopment Area comprised 247 acres stretching from Clearwater Harbor to the Cleveland Plaza shopping center vicinity and from Drew Street on the north to Chestnut Avenue on the south. The original Downtown area had the same boundaries as the 1977 RTKL Associates Plan and encompassed the traditional business district, Coachman Park, the Pinellas County Courthouse and government center and significant vacant and underutilized land available for redevelopment. In 1993, the City adopted the Periphery Plan which addressed planning issues for four areas adjacent to the Downtown. In 1995, the City approved a plan amendment to designate these four areas as Central Business District on the Future Land Use Plan, thus linking the periphery areas to the traditional Downtown area. These actions recognized the integrated relationship between the core Downtown and its surrounding residential areas. In 1995, the City Commission approved a major reVlSlon to the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. While retaining the original boundaries of the earlier Downtown plan, the Plan significantly expanded the policies for Downtown. The 1995 Plan established five overall goals for Downtown which. have been retained in major part in this new plan. The 1995 Plan established a land use plan map for the Downtown defining residential, commercial, office, mixed use, public/governmental, religious, and open space/recreational land uses. The Plan also established development potential defining commercial intensity and residential density by sub-area for the Downtown. A major portion of the 1995 Plan was devoted to redevelopment proj ects with implementation to I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 be accomplished by either 'the public or private sector. Some of the public sector projects are now under construction including the new Main Library and the "Town Lake" (to be renamed at a later date) for stormwater management. In 2001, the City approved a major update to the Periphery Plan. The Update better defines the land use plan and development potential for the four periphery areas and provides policy guidance for private redevelopment. The Periphery Plan Update was adopted as a Special Area Plan for these areas, having the same land use planning function for the periphery areas that the Redevelopment Plan does for the original Downtown boundaries. As is often the case with downtowns, outside influences provide opportunities for rethinking the form and function of downtown. In Clearwater's case, the recent outside influence is the construction of a new fixed span bridge to replace the existing drawbridge that connects mainland Clearwater with the Beach. Along with the benefits of a new bridge that will improve vehicular circulation to the Beach, the new bridge alignment and access will have a significant impact on Downtown. Through traffic will be re-routed to the Court/Chestnut one-way pair on the southern edge of Downtown, thus allowing Cleveland Street to be reclaimed as a local street and regain its place as Downtown's premier shopping street. An additional change as a result of the bridge construction is the importance of a new eastern gateway into Downtown located at the intersection of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard with Highland Avenue and Court Street. In recognition of the important relationship between the new Eastern Gateway and Downtown, in 2002, the City prepared a Findings and Declaration of Necessity Analysis pursuant to Florida's Community Redevelopment Act. The Findings Analysis documents the existing conditions and challenges to redevelopment in the Eastern Gateway and sets the stage for combining this area with the original Community Redevelopment Area. By the approval of the Findings Analysis in October 2002, the Board of County Commissioners approved the expansion of the Community Redevelopment Area for this eastern section of approximately 201 acres. The approval of the Findings Analysis also authorized the City to prepare a Redevelopment Plan for the expanded CRA. This Plan is the Redevelopment Plan for the expanded CRA and the existing CRA whose total land area now comprises 449 acres. There are two areas contained in the Periphery Plan, immediately north and south of Downtown, which are now included in this Plan but are not incorporated into the CRA (See Map 1, page 9, Comparison of Existing and Expanded CRA and Periphery Plan Areas). 7 8 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 !l" a: .~ IA o. .. <II ~ ~ 8 ,0 <( c: N <II i .""v.a~ a:~ ~~ Iii .., .J::.1n t Q.'

The Plan consolidates planning efforts and previous planning documents for the traditional Downtown core, the four periphery areas and the new eastern gateway to Downtown. The Plan establishes six unique Character Districts within the Downtown planning area and sets the framework for evaluating redevelopment within each district. The Plan maintains the Downtown Core as the traditional City center serving as the focus of office, government and civic activity. The Old Bay, South Gateway and East Gateway character districts comprise the existing urban neighborhoods and function as the major entryways into Downtown. The Town Lake Residential Character District provides extensive opportunities for new residential development in close proximity to the employment center. The Town Lake Business Park provides opportunities for corporate office development with all of the amenities of Downtown. This Plan increases the size of the Community Redevelopment Area by 201 acres through extending the CRA from its current boundaries east to the new gateway at Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, Highland Avenue and Court Street. In addition to the traditional and innovative planning tools to regulate development, this Plan establishes flexibility for future growth by establishing a vision for each Character District which is implemented through site plan and design review. The Plan incorporates design guidelines both for the historic Downtown area and for new construction within each Character District. The Plan establishes varied implementation methods to effectuate this plan. The implementation of this Plan includes a Housing and Neighborhood Element; public strategies to implement the goals, objectives and policies; a Capital Improvement Plan pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Act; redevelopment incentives and estimates ofthe Tax Increment Revenues available for implementing the Plan. Clearwater is poised for great accomplishments Downtown. All of the elements are in place for success: a waterfront with exceptional natural beauty, locational advantages, committed citizens and determined elected officials. Let this Plan set the course towards the future success of Downtown. Notes: The section on planning history is based on John Nolen's Comprehensive City Plan of 1926 and the research on Nolen by Bruce Stephenson, Rollins College. For the Clearwater history section, the author relied in great part on Michael Sanders' book Clearwater, A Pictorial History. 11 12 I I I I I I I I I I I I I il I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Chapter 2 Existing Conditions 13 14 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 LAND USE Clearwater's Downtown encompasses 539.7 acres co~prised of 1,740 parcels ofland. A total of 448.7 acres, or 83 percent of the Plan area, is located within the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). Map 2, page 17, illustrates the Plan area, as well as the CRA boundary. Downtown is characterized by a variety of uses with varying intensities and densities. Its form and function also varies depending on the specific location within the Downtown. The traditional business core is the most intensely developed area with a mix of historic buildings and new construction. Downtown enjoys a unique location on a bluff overlooking Clearwater Harbor with a significant public park along that waterfront. There are also near-town neighborhoods rich in Florida vernacular architecture and neighborhood commercial areas. The far eastern area of Downtown includes newer housing, more suburban in style and older neighborhood commercial development. The City's Future Land Use Map designates well over half of the land within Downtown as Central Business District and is located within the original CRA and Periphery Plan areas. Additional categories, ranging from Residential Urban to Commercial, exist in the newly expanded CRA to the east of the Downtown core. Table 1, below, and Map 3, page 19, illustrate the Future Land Use in the area.

Z D' Downtown has a variety of existing land uses with the majority (51.7 percent) being residential, office and retail. Almost nine percent of the total land area is vacant and is located generally in the areas immediately surrounding the Downtown core. This vacant land consists of small residential-sized parcels and several very large ones. It should be noted that a portion of the property considered vacant around the "Town Lake" is under construction with townhouse development. Industrial and vehicle service uses comprise 7.7 percent of the land area within Downtown and are generally concentrated in the vicinity of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, Pierce Street between Myrtle and Prospect Avenues, and between Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail and North Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue. These uses were once permitted; however, the 1999 Community Development Code rendered them nonconforming. Government facilities and institutional uses are generally concentrated in the historic core of Downtown and together occupy almost 16 percent of the total land area. The remaining uses are devoted to overnight accommodations, utility/infrastructure, recreation and parking. Table 3, page 27 and Map 5, page 25, illustrate existing land uses within the Downtown. 21 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 :J 0 l! ~ ~ !^'V QOOM9!)a:a (,) ~ CREST AVE .;: 110 aoo.., ~ .. ... l- Ii Ii " " .!

Limited, recent research has been conducted to determine the location and numbers of historic resources within Downtown. Based on existing knowledge and fieldwork, it is evident that historic resources are concentrated in the historic core of Downtown, the area formerly known as the Northwest Periphery Plan Expansion Area and the area of Grove Street. Two properties located within the Downtown Plan area are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Cleveland Street Post Office and the Old Pinellas County Courthouse. To date, six other buildings have been identified as potentially eligible for listing on the National Register and are as follows: . Seaboard Air Line Railroad Depot - 657 Court Street; . Calvary Baptist Church - 331 Cleveland Street; . Guaranty Title and Trust Building - 409 Cleveland Street; . Coachman Building - 505 - 513 Cleveland Street; . Fort Harrison Avenue Hotel - 210 South Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue; and . Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church - 110 South Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue. In order to determine the extent and quality of resources within the Downtown, additional survey work will be necessary. 27 28 ,I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 DEMOGRAPHICS Population Clearwater's population continues to expand despite the fact that Clearwater is largely developed. The City grew by 10 percent (from 98,784 to 108,787 residents) between 1990 and 2000. This trend is also evident in the Downtown area with a population increase from 4,825 in 1990 residents to 5,160 in 2000, which is an increase of almost seven percent. The mix of population, however, showcases dramatic changes. Specifically, the African American population has declined in Downtown by almost eight percent and the Hispanic population has ,seen dramatic increases of almost 24 percent. The majority of the Hispanic growth has occurred in the most eastern portion of the newly expanded CRA and is mainly attributable to an influx of immigrants, particularly from the State of Hidalgo in Mexico. Gender and Age The percentage of male and female residents City-wide remains relatively stable; however, in the Downtown area, the percentage of males has increased from 43.8 percent in 1990 to 51.6 percent in 2000. These increases have primarily occurred in the expanded CRA to the east of the Downtown core. The average and median age of Clearwater residents has declined slightly over the last decade. Currently the population's median age is 41.8 years and the average age is 42.6 years. The age of the population within Downtown varies greatly depending on location. An older population, with an average and median age of 76.5 and 82.7 respectively, is concentrated in the historical core. In the area formerly known as the Northwest Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan, the average and median age is 39 years while in the eastern area of the expanded CRA, median age is as low as 32 years representing a significant decrease from 37 in 1990. Households The number of households in the Downtown area has changed in direct correlation with population figures, declining in the historic core and increasing in the eastern portion of the newly expanded CRA. The household size (average number of persons per household) has remained stable, at 2.2 persons, for the City as a whole, as well as within the Downtown core area. The area formerly known as the Northwest Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan saw a slight decline in household size from 2.2 persons in 1990 to 2.1 persons in 2000. The eastern section of the expanded CRA experienced the greatest increase in household size for the decade, from 1.8 to 2.3 persons, an increase of 27 percent. Housing The City as a whole has experienced an 8.7 percent increase in the number of housing units over the last decade. In contrast, however, Downtown has experienced a reduction in the number of units, with the exception of the most eastern area of the CRA. The City's median value of owner-occupied housing experienced a 39 percent increase over the decade from $81,492 in 1990 to $113,416 in 2000. The Downtown saw similar I I I I I , I I I I I I I I- I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 patterns of change in housing values with the exception of the eastern area of the expanded CRA. Housing values in this area increased by only 15 percent. Furthermore, the median value is significantly less for this eastern area ($80,556) compared to the City as a whole ($113,416). The percentage of renter-occupied units in the City remains relatively high at 38 percent and is significantly higher in Downtown, ranging from 60 percent in the area formerly known as the Northwest Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan to a high of91 percent in the area formerly known as the Southwest Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan. Income The median household income for the City grew by almost 52 percent between 1990 and 2000, from $26,689 to $40,480. Areas within Downtown also experienced dramatic growth in income during the same period. However, when compared to the City's median income, all areas within Downtown except for the core are significantly less, ranging from $19,000 to $33,102 or 47 percent to 82 percent of the overall City's median. The Downtown has significant populations that clearly fall within low-moderate income levels. INFRASTRUCTURE Water The Downtown area is served by the City of Clearwater water system as illustrated on Appendix Map 5A. The system receives water from City-owned wells, in addition to water purchased from Pinellas County Utilities. The City is currently expanding its wellfield capacity by construction of a reverse osmosis treatment plant at Sid Lickton Park, which is north of Downtown. The plant is scheduled to commence service in August 2003. Additionally, Pinellas County does not limit the amount of water the City can purchase at this time. Adequate water transmission and distribution pipelines are currently in place. Wastewater Downtown Clearwater is served by the City's Marshall Street Advanced Pollution Control Facility, which has a permitted capacity of 10 million gallons per day (MGD). Current average flows are six to seven MGD. The State Department of Environmental Protection has approved a Capacity Analysis Report for this treatment plant which concludes that the annual average daily flow is expected to approach 75% capacity near the year 2010. In order to make available additional capacity at the Marshall Street Facility, the City is investigating pipeline routes and pump station locations that can redirect much of the wastewater flow from the southern portions of the City that currently go to the Marshall Street Facility to the Northeast Pollution Control Facility. The City is also actively implementing capital projects defined from a comprehensive evaluation of the sewage collection system. These projects include pump station refurbishment, collection system cleaning and lining, and force main cleaning. The Downtown area is a priority for collection system maintenance projects. Appendix Map 5B, portrays sanitary sewer service within Downtown. 29 30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 'I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Stormwater Downtown lies within three drainage basins: Coastal, "Town Lake" and Stevenson's Creek. The Coastal basin is the area west of Myrtle Avenue which drains directly to Clearwater Harbor through outfalls at Turner Street and Pierce Street. These storm drain systems, depicted in Appendix Map 5C, have been in place for many years and are operating at full capacity. The drainage system will need to be upgraded as part of future redevelopment and streetscape projects. The central part of the Downtown area is within the "Town Lake" drainage basin. The "Town Lake" is a regional stormwater detention and water quality facility scheduled for completion in 2003. It will provide stormwater attenuation and treatment for an approximately 150 acre drainage basin, eliminating the need for on-site stormwater facilities in the basin. The outfall from the "Town Lake" to Clearwater Harbor is being upgraded as a part of the Myrtle Avenue Improvements project scheduled for completion in mid-2004. The eastern part of the Downtown area lies within the Stevenson's Creek watershed. The 2002 Stevensons Creek Watershed Master Plan identifies areas within the 100- and 500- year floodplains adjacent to the creek, as well as projects that will reduce the size of the floodplain areas. One such project is the Glen Oaks Stormwater Detention Facility, which is a 20 acre flood control and water quality project. A portion of the project will reduce the size of the 100-year floodplain between Drew and Court Streets and positively impact properties located in the expanded CRA. A total of nine structures containing 19 dwelling units will no longer be located in the floodplain upon completion of this project. This reduction will also decrease flood levels on Cleveland, Court and Drew Streets and Lady Mary Drive. Reclaimed Water A reclaimed water transmission main was installed in the northwestern portion of the Downtown area that connects with Clearwater Beach. At this time, it does not provide service to properties within Downtown. Another reclaimed water transmission main has been installed in the eastern portion of the Downtown area and service is available to properties immediately adjacent to it. Both of these transmission lines are shown on Appendix Map 5D. The construction of the Harbor Oaks reclaimed distribution project will begin in 2003 and will be completed in 2004. This project will provide reclaimed water service to properties located south of Chestnut Street and west of Myrtle Avenue. The remaining areas of Downtown are not scheduled to receive reclaimed water service until 2017-2019. Gas Clearwater Gas has a natural gas distribution system throughout the Downtown area, which is illustrated on Appendix Map 5E. Underground gas mains are located on most streets and alleys; service lines exist throughout the area. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Sidewalks Sidewalks are intermittent throughout the Downtown area. The sidewalk network is planned to be upgraded over the next five years as part of future redevelopment and streetscape projects, or as funding allows. Downtown Fiber Optic Loop A fiber optic loop connecting major City facilities is being installed to facilitate City business requirements and meet expected service levels to citizens. This loop will be installed to connect the following facilities: Municipal Services Building, Police Department, Fire Station 45, City Hall, Harborview Center, new Main Library, Gas Administration Building, Graphics Buildings and the Engineering Field Office. The new fiber ring will support all voice, data and video needs between the facilities located on the loop. This loop has the ability to provide private access and such opportunities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and be subject to City Commission approval. TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING The functionality of a roadway is graded on a level of service (LOS) scale, which is a national standard used by traffic engineers that indicates that amount of congestion on a roadway. The use of LOS standards is also mandated by the Florida Department of Transportation and Department of Community Affairs. The LOS standards range from A to F with LOS A representing roadways with free flowing traffic and LOS F representing those that have traffic approaching a point that exceeds the amount that can be served. The Clearwater Comprehensive Plan establishes the acceptable LOS for major streets in Clearwater at a C average daily/D peak hour, except those identified as backlogged or constrained by the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Under current conditions, the main thoroughfares carrying traffic through and within Downtown are Fort Harrison, Myrtle, and Missouri Avenues and Drew, Cleveland, Court and Chestnut Streets. However, the opening of the new Memorial Causeway Bridge and the re-designation of State Road 60 and Alternate U.S. Highway 19 will have a major effect on the traffic patterns and functions of these thoroughfares and the secondary roads that feed into them. Current Conditions East-West Corridors To date, the existing Cleveland Street corridor functions as the primary east-west connection through and into the Downtown core, and has the State Road 60 designation. This commercial corridor is classified as a four-lane divided principal arterial roadway to the east of Myrtle Avenue and as a two-lane divided urban principal arterial, with on- street parking west of Myrtle Avenue. The State Road 60 designation generates an increased flow of traffic from areas to the east and west seeking travel to destination points within and outside of the Downtown. It is due to this designation that much of the 31 32 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Cleveland Street corridor within the Plan area operates at levels of service (LOS) E and F. At the southern portion of the Plan area, the State Road 60 Bypass provides travel around the Cleveland Street corridor via Court Street, which eventually is aligned into Court and Chestnut Streets as it enters the Downtown core. Court Street's primary function is to provide an alternative for traffic accessing destinations within the Downtown, as well as a connection to the Memorial Causeway Bridge. To the east of the Court/Chestnut split, the corridor is classified as a four-lane divided principal arterial, with a LOS of E. However, the western portion of the State Road 60 Bypass, consisting of both Court and Chestnut Streets, is classified as a one-way pair carrying vehicles into the southern portion of the Downtown core and to and from the Memorial Causeway Bridge via three lanes each at lower travel speeds. This dual, one-way corridor currently functions at a LOS B. Drew Street functions as a secondary east-west travel option for the northern portion of the Plan area and provides access to the Memorial Causeway Bridge via the Cleveland Street/Pierce Boulevard intersection. The portion of Drew Street east of Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue, designated State Road 590, is classified as a four-lane undivided minor arterial roadway, operating at a LOS D and E. To the west of Osceola Avenue, Drew Street functions as a two-lane, undivided roadway with on-street parking on both sides and operates at a LOS C. North-South Corridors Currently, Fort Harrison Avenue functions as the primary north-south, continuous connection through and within the Downtown. To the north of Cleveland Street, the commercial corridor is classified as a divided, urban arterial, two-lane highway with a center turning lane. To the south of Cleveland Street, the commercial corridor is classified as an undivided, urban arterial four-lane highway. Designated Alternate U.S. 19, the corridor generates an increased level of traffic from areas in north and south Pinellas County seeking to access destinations within Downtown and traveling through to destinations beyond. The corridor currently operates at a LOS C and D. The Myrtle Avenue corridor provides an alternative travel option to a portion of the Fort Harrison Avenue corridor and ultimately aligns with Fort Harrison Avenue north of the Plan area. Myrtle Avenue functions as a secondary north-south travel option through and into the Downtown core. The corridor is classified as a four-lane, undivided minor arterial roadway and operates at a LOS C and D. The main north-south corridor in the central portion of the Plan area is Missouri Avenue. The roadway primarily functions as a commercial corridor that delivers traffic into and out of Downtown from the south and terminates at the northern boundary. Within the Downtown Plan area, Missouri Avenue is classified as a four-lane, divided arterial roadway and operates at a LOS C. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Projected Impacts of Current Projects The realignment of the Memorial Causeway Bridge will have several effects on the road network within the Downtown Plan area. Most notably, through-traffic utilizing the bridge will be re-distributed from Cleveland Street to Court and Chestnut Streets, with Cleveland Street no longer designated State Route 60 and terminating at Osceola Avenue. This change will remove a significant level of traffic from Cleveland Street throughout the Plan area, dramatically improving traffic circulation and making it easier for motorists to locate parking. The realignment of the bridge access is projected to increase the level of service on Cleveland Street to a C. The final completion date for the bridge is proposed for July 2004; however, the bridge will be open to traffic early in 2004. As the new State Road 60 designation, Court and Chestnut Streets will now receive the majority of traffic seeking to utilize the new bridge to connect to Clearwater Beach. The capacity of these roadways will be decreased, but will remain a LOS C on segments west of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue within the Downtown core. However, the segment of Court Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. and Missouri Avenues will be downgraded from a LOS E to a LOS F, while the segment from Missouri Avenue to Highland Avenue will be decreased from a LOS E to a LOS F. The new Memorial Causeway Bridge alignment will also affect the configuration of Drew Street. Access to the bridge will no longer be available via Drew Street, as this roadway will end at Clearwater Harbor. This reconfiguration will increase capacity on Drew Street and increase its LOS from a DIE to a C/D throughout the Plan area. The re-designation of Alternate U.S. Highway 19 from Fort Harrison Avenue to Myrtle Avenue will have a favorable impact on the capacity of the Fort Harrison Avenue corridor and the levels of traffic within Downtown. With much of the through-traffic being redirected from Fort Harrison Avenue to the new Myrtle Street/Court Street/Missouri Avenue configuration, the capacity on Fort Harrison Avenue may slightly increase. . It is not anticipated that traffic levels and levels of service will be greatly affected on Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue, as it will continue to be a major connection into Downtown Clearwater and for destinations in north and south Pinellas County. Multi-Modal Transportation The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) and the Jolley Trolley Company currently provide bus service within Downtown. PST A currently offers 11 routes from Downtown to locations throughout Clearwater, as well as to the surrounding municipalities in Pinellas County. In addition, a PSTA main bus terminal is located within the Downtown core at the northwest comer of Pierce Street and Garden Avenue. Table 4, page 34, summarizes the PST A routes available from the Plan area. 33 34 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Table 4 E . f PSTA R f D XIS 182 outes rom owntown Route From To 18 PST A Station Downtown St. Petersburl! via Seminole 52 PST A Station Downtown St. Petersburg via Largo 60 PST A Station Jasmine Court 61 Indian Rocks Dunedin via PST A Station 66 Tarpon Springs Indian Rocks via PST A Station 67 PSTA Station Oldsmar 76 PST A Station Countryside Mall 78 PST A Station Countryside Mall via Dunedin 80 PST A Station Sand Kev 82 PST A Station Countryside Mall via Safety Harbor 98 PST A Station Carrilon Office Complex In addition to the service offered by PSTA, the Jolley Trolley Company provides bus service between Downtown and Clearwater Beach. These routes operate every 35 minutes from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and from 10:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities exist throughout the Plan area, and most noticeably in the Downtown core. The Pinellas Trail operates through the eastern portion of the Downtown core and continues to north and south Pinellas County. This transportation/recreation facility provides an alternative link from the traditional core of Downtown to destinations beyond. Currently, the Memorial Causeway Bridge provides narrow, insufficient bike paths to travel over Clearwater Harbor. The new bridge alignment will provide pathways that will more than adequately accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists seeking to travel over Clearwater Harbor. In addition to the bicycle and pedestrian facilities located on the bridge, a spur from the Pinellas Trail will connect to the bridge via Turner and Oak Streets to safely carry cyclists to and from the bridge. Improvements to the Trail within the Downtown core are also proposed along the East Avenue right-of-way, which will increase the Trail's width between Drew Street and Druid Road. Pinellas Mobility Initiative and Bluff to Beach Guideway Two major transportation studies are currently underway that are exploring alternative modes of transportation. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is conducting the Pinellas Mobility Initiative, which is an effort aimed at developing an implementation plan for rail, monorail, or next generation bus service in corridors linking Clearwater to St. Petersburg and the beaches with an extension to north Pinellas County. The general alignment includes sections in Downtown Clearwater and Gulf to Bay Boulevard. A major element of the initiative is to provide mobility choices through other options that support the rail system. This would include increased bus service, additional bicycle trails and facilities, additional trolleys, and interconnections from station areas to existing neighborhoods and development. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 In addition to the Pinellas Mobility Initiative, a preliminary feasibility study has been completed for a guideway system from Downtown to Clearwater Beach. The purpose of this project is to explore how best to integrate Downtown Clearwater with the beach area through the construction of an innovative guideway transit link. The Clearwater City Commission recently approved Phase 2 of the Bluff to Beach Guideway study, which will provide more detailed analysis and information regarding ridership projections, cost estimates and alignment alternatives. Public Parking To evaluate the current and future needs for new parking facility development and/or the expansion of existing facilities (based on current and future parking deficits or surpluses) the City of Clearwater recently hired Urbitran Associates, Inc. in conjunction with Chance Management Advisors, Inc., to conduct a parking needs assessment and feasibility study for the Downtown core. The 2002 study documented the location, occupancy and parking demand for 5,382 existing parking spaces located in a variety of locations and facilities. Table 5, below, illustrates the types and number of spaces analyzed and Map 6, page 37, depicts their location. Existin Number of Parkin S The report found that the overall weekday occupancy rate for publicly-owned on and off- street parking is 60 percent. Several lots have peak hour parking occupancy rates exceeding 90 percent and include the municipal lots at Stein Mart, the Courthouse and the lot located at Court Street and Osceola Avenue. Occupancy is also high (89 percent) for the on-street parking spaces along Cleveland Street. Parking south of Cleveland Street, with the exception of South Garden Avenue and Park Street, has a very low average weekday occupancy rate of 33 percent. With regard to private garages, occupancy rates range between 50 percent and 72 percent. With regard to the 50 private parking lots analyzed, the study determined the overall occupancy for these lots is approximately 53 percent. The lots located south of Cleveland Street and west of South Fort Harrison Avenue have the highest average occupancy rate of 85 percent. 35 36 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I )."",,1 I l!! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 0 Ol e c: Ol ~ Ol c: c: ~ 8!. :s2 <<I - ~ 0.. . -- I Q) j Q) --- -\ .b 5 ___J en 0 E t :I: ., c: 0 N ::l c.o t & 1Il S I! ~ III ~ ~ J ~ ~ :I a.. j:.- r" r-- I" \". ./oq./eH , I L,~ \ / r i j..,l/cl : I a~19j-~~~~-~::'~j i ! ~~=:-,-'::;..:..~::-'-'/?J/- i r--'Ii .' 1~"~" ,/'KI I , .(,/' ":""1 "':"1;-( :-il i J/:!j: I I ./eJeMl I~~' I 'l~ i II II eelQ ~ I, ! ~f I__c_~ [""'..1 [".1 ii' I w Z+Ul ~ ~ 3:: o I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Because on-street parking spaces are occupied during peak periods and garages are not immediately visible, there is a perception that the Downtown core does not have sufficient parking. However, based on current supply and demand the existing parking is more than adequate. Implementation of the Downtown Plan will change that and several sites for new parking facilities have been identified to accommodate redevelopment in the Capital Improvement Plan contained in Chapter 4, Plan Implementation. Furthermore, the new Memorial Causeway Bridge will result in the realignment of Court and Chestnut Streets and will require the elimination of the parking lot located on the northeast comer of Pierce Street and Pierce Boulevard and will require the reconfiguration of the parking lot located near the Pinellas County Courthouse. PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITIES A total of 45.3 acres or 6.5 percent of the total land within Downtown is occupied by City-owned parkland and is illustrated on Map 7, page 41. There are a variety of facilities within Downtown and several in close proximity to the Plan boundaries. Several of the parks are concentrated in the traditional Downtown core. Coachman Park, almost seven acres in area, is located in the western-most portion of the core along Clearwater Harbor. The park is primarily passive, however, it has an amphitheater that attracts nationally-known artists and serves as a regional entertainment venue. On the west side of Coachman Park adjacent to Clearwater Harbor are the Bayfront Memorial Parks. These are small passive parks providing parking along the water and are best known for housing two sculptures. One sculpture pays tribute to the Wodd War I American Doughboys and the second one memorializes the World War I Navy. The Bayfront Tennis Complex is located to the west of City Hall on the lower end of the bluff and is the City's first tennis complex. One urban pocket park, Station Square Park, is located in the center of the historic commercial core on Cleveland Street and is used by many Downtown workers. Station Square Park also hosts a variety of special events in addition to being the home of the Farmer's Market. Lastly, the Fred E. Marquis Pinellas Trail, a countywide trail system, traverses Downtown running north/south. A significant portion of the Trail shares the East Avenue right-of-way but north of Drew Street the Trail is located within a dedicated greenway corridor. The Seminole Street Launching Facility is located in the most northwestern section of Old Bay and functions as the City's main boat launching facility. It has eight boat ramps and a fishing pier, as well as a picnic area. The facility accommodates approximately 25,000 launches per year. The facility offers monthly and yearly launch passes. Town Lake, located east of the core on the west side of Prospect Avenue, is principally completed. Town Lake is a passive urban lake providing a unique amenity within Downtown. David Martin Soccer Field is the only active recreation facility in Downtown and is located on the north side of Court Street west of Hillcrest Avenue. This field will be relocated south of its current location, as part of the Glen Oaks Stormwater Detention Facility and will then be located immediately south of Downtown. 39 40 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Even though Downtown has a significant amount of parkland, it lacks small pocket parks and playgrounds within the residential neighborhoods. Several recreation facilities are located along the perimeter of the Downtown including the Clearwater Country Club golf course and Crest Lake Park, which is a community park with playground facilities, a lake and the City's first dog park. ._.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 EXISTING DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Several programs have been established to support Downtown redevelopment efforts. A description of the main programs is listed below and a more comprehensive listing of incentives available to the private sector is provided in Chapter 4, Plan Implementation. Downtown Development Board Pursuant to Florida Statutes, the Downtown Development Board (DDB) was established in 1970. In 1971, Downtown property owners approved a referendum that created a Special Downtown Tax District to assist in revitalization efforts of the Downtown area and preserve property values. The DDB has seven elected board members and two ex- officio members from the CRA and represents the interests of Downtown property owners in addition to supporting the Main Street program. The CRA provides professional staff support to the DDB. Main Street Program The City of Clearwater was designated a Main Street Community by the Florida Division of Historical Resources in 1998. This program is an integral part of Florida's historic preservation program based on the national model developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Main Street approach involves the private sector through four areas: organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring. Brownfields Program In order to assist in the redevelopment of abandoned, idled, or underutilized industrial and commercial properties that have or are perceived to have environmental contamination, the City of Clearwater established a Federal and State Brownfields program in 1996. This program has provided assistance to conduct environmental site assessments, remove hydraulic lifts, monitor groundwater, develop site-specific quality assurance plans, absorb impact fees, implement revolving loan funds and provide site remediation. At this time, over 200 Brownfields sites have been identified in the Downtown Plan area. The sites are dispersed with concentrations found along Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, Chestnut Street, Missouri Avenue, Fort Harrison Avenue and Cleveland Street. Enterprise Zone In an effort to reduce poverty levels, unemployment, physical deterioration and economic disinvestment, the Clearwater Enterprise Zone Development Agency (EZDA) was created in September 1998. A significant portion of the Enterprise Zone is located within Downtown. Businesses may receive credits or tax refunds on State Sales and Use Tax or Florida Corporate Income Tax if they meet the requirements. 43 44 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 INVESTMENT IN DOWNTOWN Since the inception of the original Downtown CRA in 1981, considerable public and private investment has been made in the Downtown area. Below is a list of the significant program and projects undertaken by the City and/or CRA. . Assisted in improvements to Coachman Park; . Purchased the Maas Brothers property, now the location of the City's Harborview Center; . Purchased land and constructed parking lot adjacent to Station Square Park; . Purchased and sold property for construction of an office development located at Cleveland Street and Garden Avenue and built a parking garage now a private garage; . Improved Cleveland Street streetscape with new sidewalks, electrical improvements and new plantings; . Purchased and sold property (through theCRA) to the City for the construction of the Municipal Services Building located at 100 South Myrtle Avenue; . Issued fayade improvement grants for over 30 buildings totaling approximately $100,000 since 1996. These improvements have been made to properties primarily located along Cleveland Street and Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue; . Purchased and assisted in cleaning several Brownfields sites that have been or are currently being developed by the private sector. (Harbor Oaks Shopping Center, Mediterranean Village, IMR Global); and . Subsidized Jolley Trolley, a non-profit trolley system that provides servIce between Downtown and the Beach. Three major public investments are currently under construction within Downtown that will have major impacts on future redevelopment. . A new four-lane, high-level fixed bridge that has a vertical clearance of approximately 74 feet is replacing the existing State Road 60 (Memorial Causeway) bascule bridge that connects Downtown with Clearwater Beach. The construction of this $64.3 million project, funded by the Federal Government, Florida Department of Transportation, Pine lIas County and the City of Clearwater (Penny for Pinellas), began in February 2002 and is expected to open for traffic in early 2004 with completion in July 2004. Removal of the existing bridge will be complete by mid-2004. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 . The new Main Library is being constructed on the southwest comer of Osceola Avenue and Drew Street (100 North Osceola Avenue) and is estimated to open in early 2004. The cost of this project is $20.25 million and was funded through a variety of sources including City of Clearwater (Penny for Pine lIas), the Clearwater Library Foundation. a bequest and the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative. This project was identified in the 1995 Downtown Redevelopment Plan as part of the project known as the "City Public Quad". The library is being constructed on its original site overlooking Clearwater Harbor instead of the site envisioned by the 1995 Plan. . "Town Lake", a four-acre stormwater treatment pond and park amenity, is being constructed in the vicinity south of Cleveland Street, east of Myrtle Avenue, north of Court Street and west of Ewing Avenue. The purpose of the project is to reduce existing flooding problems and provide stormwater treatment to protect the water quality of Clearwater Harbor, designated an Outstanding Florida Waterbody. This facility establishes a "stormwater buy-in district" within which development and redevelopment projects can make a payment in-lieu-of on-site stormwater retention for City and State stormwater treatment requirements. This project was identified as Park Lake Project No.8 in the 1995 Redevelopment Plan and is located in the general area identified by the Plan; however, it is significantly smaller than originally recommended. In addition to new businesses that have located within existing Downtown buildings, substantial new redevelopment has been constructed or is currently under construction. One project was made possible by funding from the Division of Historical Resources (Old Pinellas County Courthouse) and several others have been made financially feasible due to the redevelopment programs operated within the Downtown area. Collectively, these projects include: . Walgreen's located at the northeast comer of Cleveland Street and Myrtle Avenue; . Budget Self-Storage located on the east side of Myrtle Avenue between Cleveland Street and Drew Street; . CGI located at the southwest comer of Cleveland Street and Missouri Avenue. This major redevelopment project includes two buildings and reflects a $50 million investment. Formally IMR Global, it currently employs 100 people; . Harbor Oaks Shopping Center, which includes a Publix grocery store, located on the southeast comer of South Fort Harrison Avenue and Turner Street; . Old Pinellas County Courthouse, the subject of an extensive restoration is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located at the southern terminus of South Osceola Avenue at Court Street; 45 46 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 . Mediterranean Village in the Park, a 100-unit townhouse development, located on the south side of Cleveland Street and north of the new Town Lake. The CRA purchased land and sold to the developer, cleaned the site and agreed to pay impact fees, permit fees and utility connections fees as construction occurs; .

Policies Policy 1: The design guidelines establish the quality and design features expected for renovation, redevelopment and new construction in Downtown with which all projects must be consistent. 51 52 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 2: The character of each district shall be reinforced through the site plan and design review process. Projects shall be consistent with and contribute positively to the vision of the character district in which it is located. Policy 3: The design of all projects in Downtown shall make meaningful contributions to the pedestrian environment through site and building design. Policy 4: Renovation, rehabilitation and reuse of historic resources are encouraged. Flexibility through the site plan review process should be utilized so that historic resources may be retained and reused. Policy 5: The City shall pursue various strategies, incentives and planning tools that will assist in the preservation of historic resources. Policy 6: The City shall establish a Public Amenities Incentive Pool that provides density and intensity increases for projects in excess of the allowable maximum development potential based on a provision of selected public amenities. The size of the Incentive Pool shall be the incremental difference between the maximum development potential permitted by the 1995 Redevelopment Plan and the maximum amount of development permitted under this Plan as determined by the buildout scenarios. Policy 7: Transfer of Development Rights are permitted for all projects to assist development provided that both the sending and receiving sites are located in the Downtown Plan area. Approval of Transfer of Development Rights on a site may allow an increase in the development potential in excess of the maximum development potential of the applicable character district. All uses of transfer of development rights shall ensure that the receiving site remains consistent with the vision of the applicable character district. Policy 8: . Maintain the designation of Downtown as a Regional Activity Center so that the thresholds for Development of Regional Impacts remain increased. Policy 9: Projects located at or near the border between two zoning districts or at the border of the Downtown Plan area, shall use effective site and building design features to ensure an appropriate transition and buffer between the different areas. Policy 10: Uses along the Pinellas Trail should be oriented toward the Trail to take advantage of this recreational/transportation amenity. Connections to the Pinellas Trail should be incorporated in site plans when property is adj acent to the Trail or when the proposed use would benefit through a connection. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 11: Nonconforming uses are encouraged to relocate to a zoning district that permits their use. The City shall explore all incentives and planning tools that will assist in the relocation of nonconforming uses. Use of the Community Development Code tool known as "Termination of Status as a Nonconformity" is not permitted within the Downtown Plan area. Policy 12: Drive-through facilities shall only be permitted as an accessory use and through a design that minimizes the views of the facility from rights-of-way and preserves the urban character of Downtown. Policy 13: Places of worship and social/community centers are considered integral parts of the Downtown character districts. They are permitted uses that may locate or expand at a scale consistent with the character district in which they are located provided that all site plan requirements are met. Policy 14: The education of Downtown property owners should be emphasized regarding Clearwater building and property maintenance standards. Policy 15: The City shall make use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Downtown infrastructure and increasing affordable housing options.

Policy 17: Property owners/developers are encouraged to meet with area neighborhood associationslbusiness groups prior to submitting a major redevelopment project for City review. Policy 18: The City shall assist neighborhoods in the formation and development of neighborhood associations that empower residents to improve their neighborhood and strengthen ties between residents and government. Policy 19: Residential development shall provide appropriate on-site recreation facilities based on the scale of the project. Policy 20: Shared parking for commercial, office and mixed uses should be accomplished wherever possible. Policy 21: The City shall pursue all funding options to accelerate the implementation of the Master Streetscape and Wayfinding Plan and Coachman Park Master Plan. Policy 22: The City shall monitor and evaluate traffic operation changes as a result of the new bridge alignment and make any necessary capital or operational improvements to the Downtown traffic network. 53 54 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 23: The City prefers and shall encourage alternative stormwater management solutions rather than installation of on-site stormwater retention ponds. These alternatives may include neighborhood or regional stormwater programs that make significant improvements to the overall stormwater system and environment. Policy 24: The City shall give priority to sidewalk construction within Downtown that enhances pedestrian linkages and/or completes a continuous sidewalk system on all streets. Policy 25: The CRA will evaluate participating with the private sector in land assembly to facilitate projects consistent with this Plan. Policy 26: The CRA will consider abatement of impact fees and permit fees as an incentive for redevelopment projects that are consistent with this Plan. Policy 27: Properties whose uses have resulted in a higher police level of service than typical properties are encouraged to redevelop with uses consistent with the applicable character district; if a higher police level of service continues, the use will be the focus of nuisance abatement strategies and law enforcement. Policy 28: The City shall work to increase coordination and communication among residents, Police Officers and the Community Response Team in an effort to pro actively solve problems. DESIGN GUIDELINES The Design Guidelines, which will apply to all development and redevelopment within the Plan area, will be added to the document at a later date. I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 DOWNTOWN CHARACTER DISTRICTS The 1995 Plan controlled development by a land use map that designated allowable uses on a parcel-by-parcel basis. In order to deviate from this very specific map, a Plan amendment would be required. In an attempt to accommodate the long-term flexibility needed to support redevelopment, character districts are being established in this Plan to govern development. These more effectively convey the City's desired future than a parcel-based land use map. Several studies were conducted in order to determine the appropriate boundaries and the number of character districts. One study focused on general development patterns, concentration of uses, street patterns, number of lanes and natural and manmade boundaries. Another study considered recently constructed or soon to be constructed capital projects and their potential impacts on the Downtown. Additionally, a review of the maximum permitted development potential permitted by the 1995 Plan and the Periphery Plan was conducted, along with a review of the actual built intensity and density of existing and approved projects. It was determined that the 1995 Plan could result in an unusual and undesirable development pattern where the development potential in the eastern portion of the original CRA was more intensive than the area adjacent to the Downtown Core. This pattern is inconsistent with general planning principals and with concepts endorsed by the City Commission in 2002. Those concepts specified that the highest density and intensity of Downtown should be located in the Core area with decreasing density and intensity moving east through the balance of Downtown. Based on the above evaluation, six distinct districts are created to guide development and redevelopment within Downtown and are depicted on Map 8, page 57. Each District contains a vision that includes use requirements, function, development patterns, intensity and density and height. Each District also includes policies specific to the District, as well as design guidelines. The overall maximum development potential permitted within Downtown is being reduced from that within the 1995 Plan. The City will retain the balance of the excess potential over the life of the Plan, however, to allocate to specific projects that make a major contribution to Downtown redevelopment. 55 56 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 I I 3^VaIiYlH9IH ...,,~ '4'~ , .~.,; I: I I I I .LS.L'OH I I Iii 5 ~ I I I I I I I I I I ~^VaNriH9IH :l lUllVW ~ ~ ~^YQNViH9IH \ Ii -% ..,1. , ~. en ...... o "i:: ...... en o '"' co ~, .~ 12 Ii; w , ~ i !IIIV dO!

The Downtown Core encompasses 270 parcels totaling 128 acres in area and represents 23.7 percent of the Downtown Plan area. Existing Character The Downtown Core is the government center and principal employment core of the City. Many of the PinellasCounty government offices are located in the Downtown Core as well as private offices and support uses that desire the proximity to the government center. Cleveland Street is Downtown's "Main Street" and has a historic character/setting and functions as the major retail street within Downtown. There are a significant number of churches and church-related uses within the Downtown Core, as well as under- developed and vacant land. District Vision Uses The Downtown Core should continue to be a center of government including Pinellas County and City of Clearwater governmental offices. The Downtown Core will continue to attract private offices that desire to locate in close proximity to the government center, as well as offices attracted to Clearwater for its size, central location and amenities. A key component to diversify the Downtown Core is to attract residential uses with a variety of housing types and prices. Once a residential base is in place, retail, restaurant and services will likely follow. It is anticipated that the majority of existing churches will remain and possibly expand. Redevelopment of two key public waterfront parcels located on the Bluff overlooking Clearwater Harbor is also anticipated: the Harborview/Coachman Park parcel and the City HalVCalvary Baptist Church parcel. The Harborview/Coachman Park parcel is located west of Osceola Avenue from Drew Street south to Cleveland Street. The City will contemplate redevelopment containing retaiVrestaurant/hoteVentertainment uses within the footprint of the existing Harborview Center. The redevelopment should complement the new Main Library and Coachman Park both in terms of compatibility of uses and design. The second redevelopment site is the combined sites of City Hall and Calvary Baptist Church which extends south from Cleveland Street to Pierce Street and from the west side of Osceola Street to the water. The City will contemplate redevelopment of these combined parcels as residentiaVretail and mixed use. It is recognized that redevelopment of both parcels will require additional approval from the citizens of Clearwater. 59 60 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 An additional key private redevelopment site is the Am South/"Super Block" bound by Drew Street on the north, Cleveland Street on the south, Osceola Avenue on the west and North Fort Harrison Avenue on the east. Function The Bluff should be enhanced through improvements to Coachman Park, retention of public access to the waterfront, and a continued emphasis on the new Main Library as a community-gathering place, cultural attraction and anchor for the north end of the Downtown Core. In addition to the Bluff as a destination, the Downtown Core should be redeveloped as a family-oriented entertainment destination including a marina, cultural events and attractions, festivals, restaurants, theater and shopping. Development Patterns Among the Downtown character districts, the Downtown Core will have the highest density for residential and hotel uses and the highest intensity for retail/commercial! office uses. It is expected that the most intense development within the Downtown Core will occur in the center of the District defined as from Osceola Avenue east to Myrtle Avenue and from Drew Street south to Court Street. The Downtown Core shall be redeveloped as a pedestrian-friendly place achieved through a diversity of land uses, urban design and streetscape improvements. New construction and redevelopment along Cleveland Street must respect and be integrated with the existing predominant historic building, height, and scale patterns. Established building rhythms, setbacks, and scale along a block should be maintained and reinforced with new construction. Proposed buildings in excess of the established historic height must be stepped back from Cleveland Street so the additional height maintains a streetscape that preserves a human scale. The Pinellas Trail should be integrated into the Downtown Core through such mechanisms as a connection across the Memorial Bridge, various improvements to the Trail within the Downtown Core, and additional east/west trails that connect the balance of the City with the Downtown. Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, all types of vehicle sales and services, automobile service stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio - 4.0 FAR; Density - 70 dwelling units per acre or 95 hotel units per acre I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Height - Along Cleveland Street - Consistent with the historic building pattern and consistent with alternatives specified in the design guidelines; Balance of the District - no maximum height restriction Downtown Core District Policies The following policies shall govern development within the Downtown Core, as well as City actions: Policy 1: Maintain the Harborview Center as a conference/community center consistent with reasonable operating requirements, until the citizens and City Commission endorse plans for redevelopment. For the long term, the existing footprint of the Harborview Center may be redeveloped solely with restaurant, retail, convention center and/or hotel uses. The design of the redeveloped site shall provide public access and be integrated with and related to the balance of the Downtown Core and the Coachman Park Master Plan. Policy 2: Redevelopment on all property west of Osceola Avenue and south of Cleveland Street should consider the natural Bluff features, the views of Clearwater Harbor and be integrated with the Coachman Park Master Plan. Policy 3: Priority shall be given to the construction of a garage(s) in support of the implementation of the Coachman Park Master Plan. The garage(s) shall be located to provide convenient access for Park, Library and Marina users. Policy 4: Station Square Park shall be recreated as an active Downtown park serving as a "pocket park" for Downtown employees and special events. Policy 5: The City shall continue to allow payment in-lieu of providing required on-site parking. Policy 6: The City shall perform a bi-annual parking needs analysis to establish priorities for parking solutions and expenditures of payment in-lieu fees. Policy 7: To ensure a pedestrian-friendly and safe environment, driveways shall be discouraged on Cleveland Street between Myrtle Avenue and Osceola Avenue. Policy 8: Redevelopment and new construction along Cleveland Street shall be compatible with and contribute to pedestrian vitality, human scale and historic fabric. Policy 9: Urban and architectural design are equally important for the street side and waterside of buildings. 61 62 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 10: Capitalize on Downtown's waterfront location by supporting alternative modes of transportation between Downtown, the beach and the other barrier islands, including the use of water taxis/shuttles. Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines will be added to the document at a later date. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Old Bav District The Old Bay Character District is generally bounded by Nicholson Street on the north, Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail and Myrtle Avenue on the on the east, Clearwater Harbor on the west and Drew Street on the south as illustrated on Map 8, page 57. There are 228 parcels totaling 81.5 acres ofland within the District representing 15 percent ofthe total Downtown Plan area. Existing Character The Old Bay District, which is the area previously known as the Northwest Periphery Plan area and the land south of Jones Street to Drew Street, is a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the low density residential areas to the north. North Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue, which is currently designated as Alternate U.S. Highway 19, is the main traffic corridor in this District, and serves as the northern most gateway into the Downtown area. Old Bay is comprised of a mix of land uses including governmental, residential (including single-family dwellings), commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational. This mix, while giving the District great diversity, also results in incompatible development patterns and uses. The District's unique character is derived from its location along Clearwater Harbor and the significant number of older structures (greater than 50 years). The North Ward Elementary School, a National Register Historic site and the City of Clearwater's Partnership School, is located on the northern edge of the District, and is a neighborhood amenity. The location of North Fort Harrison Avenue and the high volumes of traffic on it essentially divide the District into two distinct sections and contribute to the lack of a cohesive identity. Furthermore, the most eastern portion of the District does not enjoy close proximity to the waterfront and the single-family residential uses are surrounded by nonconforming vehicle services and industrial uses. District Vision Uses The Old Bay District is envisioned to be a mixed-use neighborhood supporting the Downtown employment base with residential, limited neighborhood commercial and office uses. A variety of densities and housing styles are encouraged throughout the District, as well as renovations of existing older structures This District provides an opportunity for higher-density residential uses along Clearwater Harbor west of Osceola Avenue, provided such development is sensitive to the established low-rise historic character of the District. The eastern frontage of Osceola Avenue may retain its residential use, convert existing buildings to offices, redevelop with residential scale offices or combine these two uses on the same site. North Fort 63 Between North Garden Avenue and the Pinellas Trail: < 1 acre - 7.5 units/acre > lacre - 25 units/acre I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Harrison Avenue is envisioned as the main commercial area providing neighborhood commercial uses on properties on both sides of the street. The area between North Fort Harrison Avenue and Garden Avenue should continue to be a mixed-use area permitting commercial and office development and encouraging the incorporation of residential uses in mixed-use projects. Properties located east of Garden Avenue may be redeveloped with residential uses, residential scale office development or a mix of these two uses. The parcel within the District east of the Pinellas Trail through to Myrtle Avenue is envisioned to remain as the City's Gas Department administrative offices and warehouse. Function The character of Old Bay should be strengthened through streetscape elements that identify the District as a Downtown neighborhood. Emphasis should be placed on tying the eastern and western sections of the entire District together by providing linkages between the waterfront and the Pinellas Trail. Public improvements to the Seminole Boat ramp will also enhance waterfront access and appearance. Development Patterns Greater heights in the higher density residential area west of Osceola Avenue may be considered. The development pattern in the balance of the District is expected to remain urban in character reflecting the low-rise scale (two to three stories) of the existing neighborhood. Renovation/restoration of existing historic homes is strongly encouraged and new development should provide references to the neighborhood's historic features in their design. Redevelopment should provide opportunities for comfortable pedestrian travel and access to public areas including the Seminole Street Launching Facility and Pinellas Trail. Prohibited Uses Automobile service stations, all types of vehicle sales and services, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, drive-through facilities, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensitv Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - 0.5 FAR; Density - West of North Garden Avenue: < 2 acres - 25 units/acre > 2 acres - 50 units/acre Height - No maximum height restriction 64 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Old Bay District Policies The following policies shall govern development within the Old Bay District, as well as City actions. Policy 1: Connections from the Pinellas Trail through the neighborhood to Clearwater Harbor should be accomplished through signage, sidewalks and bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Policy 2: The Seminole Street Launching Facility should be maintained as a recreation site, recognized as an area attraction, and should be improved with the addition of elements such as picnic areas, park benches, landscaping, lighting and parking management. Policy 3: City rights-of-way that dead-end at the harbor shall be retained and improved for public access to the water. Policy 4: Clearwater Gas property should be landscaped, buffered and beautified appropriately. Policy 5: The eXIUtflsieB of ~ting commercial uses fronting on North Fort Harrison Avenue may be expanded or redeveloped through the block to North Osceola Avenue. If this occurs, it shall be adequately buffered from the surrounding properties with materials such as landscaping or fencing. Policy 6: New development on North Fort Harrison Avenue shall be oriented toward the street to encourage pedestrian activity and a dynamic street life. Policy 7: New development on Drew Street shall be oriented toward the street to encourage pedestrian activity. Policy 8: Mixed-use development that has office and retail uses on the first floor and residential uses above are encouraged along North Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue. Policy 9: New construction and renovations of existing single-family platted areas east of Garden A venue shall maintain the existing character of the neighborhood for lot size, setbacks and height. Policy 10: Preferred housing styles east of Osceola Avenue are single-family detached and townhouses. Attached dwellings in this area may be considered upon assembly of at least one acre and preferably one city block. 65 66 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Old Bay Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines will be added to the document at a later date. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 South Gatewav District The South Gateway District is generally bounded by parcels fronting on Chestnut Avenue on the north, the Pinellas Trail on the east, South Fort Harrison Avenue on the west and Druid Road on the south as depicted in Map 8, page 57. The District is comprised of 61 parcels of land totaling 22.9 acres and represents 4.2 percent of the total Downtown Plan area. Existing Character The South Gateway District, which is generally the area previously known as the Southwest Expansion area of the Periphery Plan, is a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the lower density residential areas to the southeast and office and industrial areas to the southwest. It is bounded on the west by South Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue, which is designated as Alternate U.S. Highway 19 and is the main traffic corridor in this District. A new community shopping center was recently constructed in the center portion of this District, which serves as an anchor to the South Gateway. Even though this major redevelopment project has occurred, there is a significant amount of vacant and/or underutilized land remaining within the South Gateway. District Vision Uses The South Gateway is the principal entryway to Downtown from the south. The District's location in the vicinity of Morton Plant Hospital and along a travel path for many commuters makes the South Fort Harrison Avenue frontage ideal for commercial uses. The frontage along South Fort Harrison Avenue should continue to be redeveloped with community shopping uses to serve the nearby neighborhoods, employees and commuters. The existing offices are encouraged to remain and renovate over time capitalizing on their proximity to both the Downtown Core and Morton Plant Hospital. The balance of the District's vacant and underutilized properties is envisioned to redevelop with residential development at an urban scale. Function Alternate U.S. Highway 19 will be re-designated from South Fort Harrison Avenue to Missouri and Myrtle Avenues at Court Street. Fort Harrison Avenue will be redesigned to function as a local street with two travel lanes (and a center turn-lane) instead of four. The streetscape improvements will recognize the changed function of the street and emphasize its connection with the Downtown Core. 67 68 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Development Patterns Due to its adjacency with the Downtown Core and established development patterns, the scale and context of buildings should be urban in nature and promote a pedestrian- friendly environment. Connections within the District to the Pinellas Trail should be encouraged through site design, streetscape improvements and landscaping. Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, all types of vehicle sales and services, automobile service stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio -1.0 FAR; Density - < 2 acres - 25 dwelling units/acre > 2 acres - residential only - 35 dwelling units per acre > 2 acres and mixed use project including residential - 50 dwelling units per acre Height - 50' South Gateway District Policies The following policies shall govern development within the South Gateway District, as well as City actions: Policy 1: The visual connection of the South Gateway should be strengthened with the Harbor Oaks Historic District through streetscaping elements and building design. Policy 2: Residential development fronting on South Fort Harrison Avenue may only be permitted if part of a mixed-use development. Policy 3: Curb cuts shall be discouraged on the South Fort Harrison Avenue frontage where alternative access can be provided. South Gateway Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines will be added to the document at a later date. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Town Lake Residential District The Town Lake Residential Character District is bounded by Drew Street on the north, Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and Missouri Avenue on the east, Myrtle Avenue on the west and parcels fronting on Chestnut Street on the south (see Map 8, page 57). There are 355 parcels of land totaling 88.2 acres in this District. The Town Lake Residential District represents 16.3 percent of the land area within the Downtown Plan area. Existing Character The area previously known as the Northeast Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan and a portion of the area previously known as the Southeast Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan is included in the Town Lake Residential District. This District includes a mix of retail, office, vehicle service, industrial and residential uses. The Town Lake Residential District has a significant amount of underutilized and vacant property. There is a concentration of dwellings with historic character along Grove Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and Cleveland Street. Four major streets provide egress and ingress to the District as well as internal circulation. The City has constructed Town Lake in the vicinity south of Park Street between Prospect and Ewing Avenues. Town Lake will provide an alternative to on-site stormwater retention for properties within the watershed area. In addition, Town Lake was designed to function as a passive park with pedestrian pathways surrounding the perimeter of the lake. District Vision Use The Town Lake District enjoys many locational advantages that will encourage residential development: proximity to the Downtown Core, the new Town Lake and park amenities, as well as large vacant and underutilized parcels. The Town Lake Residential District will primarily be redeveloped as a residential district with neighborhood commercial uses. New commercial uses should be of the type and scale to serve the new residential development. More intense commercial development may be permitted along major streets such as Myrtle Avenue, Cleveland Street, Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and Court and Chestnut Streets. Hotels may be permitted on property fronting on Cleveland Street. The existing residential scale office area along Cleveland Street Northeast is encouraged to remain and improve over time but not to expand into surrounding residential areas. Commercial uses along the Court/Chestnut Street corridor may serve the broader community, however, the design shall be urban in nature and pedestrian friendly. 69 70 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Function The addition of new residents in the Town Lake District will enliven Downtown and provide a market for new retail and restaurant development. Alternate U.S. Highway 19 will be re-designated from South Fort Harrison Avenue to Myrtle Avenue which transverses this District. With the redesignation, Myrtle Avenue/Alternate U.S. Highway 19 is expected to function as the primary through-route and Fort Harrison Avenue can reclaim its function as the local roadway. Development Patterns Residential redevelopment in the area north of Cleveland Street shall have a lower scale with regards to height than the area south of it due to the existing single-family development pattern. Renovation of small historic single-family dwellings is encouraged while new construction in the vicinity should respect the height and scale of the Grove Street neighborhood. The residential development south of Cleveland Street is anticipated to be oriented toward Town Lake but along major streets, development should be oriented toward the street to maintain an urban and pedestrian environment. Commercial development on the major streets (Myrtle Avenue, Cleveland, Court and Chestnut Streets) should be constructed with a build-to line close to the street and parking/service areas located to the rear. Commercial redevelopment should be designed primarily for comfortable and safe pedestrian access while accommodating vehicles. Prohibited Uses Automobile service stations, all types of vehicle sales and service uses, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio - 1.0 FAR; Density - 30 dwelling units per acre or 40 hotel units per acre Height - 50' Town Lake Residential District Policies The following policies shall govern development within the Town Lake Residential District, as well as City actions: Policy 1: New construction and renovations of existing single-family platted areas in the northeast section of the District shall maintain the character of the neighborhood with regard to lot sizes, setbacks and building height. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 2: Preferred housing styles north of Laura Street are single-family detached, duplexes and townhouses. Other styles of attached dwellings may be considered upon assembly of at least one city block. Policy 3: One dwelling unit may be permitted as accessory to the principal residential use of a property provided sufficient parking exists on site. This unit will not be considered when calculating density for the site. Policy 4: Community scale commercial uses that serve the general needs of multiple neighborhoods are only permitted on Myrtle Avenue, Cleveland, Court and Chestnut Streets. Policy 5: Neighborhood scale commercial and office uses that serve the daily or convenience needs of the immediate neighborhood may be permitted on Drew Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue. Policy 6: Neighborhood commercial uses may be permitted south of Cleveland Street and east of Prospect Avenue provided such uses are integral to a residential proj ect. Policy 7: Existing neighborhood office and commercial uses north of Laura Street are encouraged to remain and be renovated. Town Lake Residential Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines will be added to the document at a later date. 71 72 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Town Lake Business Park District The Town Lake Business District is bounded by Cleveland Street on the north, Missouri Avenue on the east, Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue on the west and Court Street on the south and is depicted on Map 8, page 57. This District is 43.6 acres in area and is comprised of 120 parcels, which represents 8 percent of the land area of the Downtown Plan area. Existing Character A portion of the area previously known as the Southeast Expansion Area of the Periphery Plan is included in the Town Lake Business Park District. The area is now part of the expanded CRA. At the District's entry point at the southwest comer of Cleveland Street and Missouri Avenue, a new corporate headquarters, suburban in character was constructed within the last three years. A mix of uses including retail, office, utility/infrastructure, residential and nonconforming industrial uses characterizes the remainder of the District. Even though this major office redevelopment has occurred, there are numerous vacant and underutilized parcels found throughout the District. In particular, single-family dwellings are scattered throughout the area west of Madison Avenue. District Vision Use The Town Lake Business Park District is envisioned to be a Downtown location for office park development. The District should be redeveloped with corporate and professional offices, as well as those conducting research and/or light assembly. Incidental support commercial uses are anticipated to serve the offices in the District. Residential redevelopment may be considered in limited locations along major streets or if a minimum of four acres of land is assembled. Function The primary function of the Town Lake Business District is to provide employment opportunities and a location for office uses that prefer a business park setting but enjoy the benefits of being in close proximity to the Downtown Core. Excellent access and opportunities for significant lot consolidation enhance the District's redevelopment opportunities. Development Patterns Office development within the Town Lake Business Park District shall be campus-like in nature. Traditional setbacks, significant landscaping and adequate parking should characterize redevelopment in this area. Commercial uses are encouraged to locate within the office park and/or office building to provide easy access to their customers and reduce the need for external vehicle trips. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Prohibited Uses Detached dwellings, all types of vehicle sales and service uses, automobile service stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio- 1.0 FAR: Density - 30 dwelling units per acre or 40 hotel units per acre Height - 50' Town Lake Business Park District Policies The following policies shall govern development within the Town Lake Business Park District, as well as City actions. Policy 1: Commercial uses accessory to and located within an office park are encouraged and will not be considered when calculating maximum floor area ratio. Policy 2: Development of a hotel is encouraged within the Town Lake Business District to support office park development. Policy 3: Preference will be given to the vacation of Brownell Street, Gould Street and/or Washington Avenue provided significant lot consolidation occurs for office or residential development and provided adequate alternative access exists or can be provided. Policy 4:. City and CRA owned property should be actively marketed for redevelopment consistent with the Plan. Policy 5: Support the relocation and/or stormwater system improvements to make the existing City-owned pond located on the south side of Gould Street available as a redevelopment site. Town Lake Business Park Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines will be added to the document at a later date. 73 74 I I I, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 East Gatewav District The East Gateway District is bounded by Drew Street on the north, Highland Avenue on the east, Missouri Avenue on the west and Court Street on the south and is shown on Map 8, page 57. This District is comprised of 686 parcels totaling 175.6 acres and represents 32.5 percent ofthe Downtown area. Existing Character East Gateway is generally characterized by a mixed land use pattern of residential housing interspersed with pockets of poorly maintained rental properties and outdated strip commercial. This District struggles with a negative image of crime due to the location of problematic uses such as day labor facilities, old motels and social service agencies that provide services to the homeless population. The commercial sector is burdened with a declining business base, an array of deteriorating infrastructure, a mismatch of uses, and an increasing number of vacant storefronts. Relatively well- maintained small professional offices and St. Cecilia's Catholic School anchor the southern edge of the East Gateway. District Vision Uses It is envisioned that the East Gateway will be a vibrant, stable, diverse neighborhood defined by its unique cultural base and mixed land uses. It will continue to be developed as a low and medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and professional offices concentrated along the major corridors of Cleveland Street, Gulf to Bay Boulevard, Court Street and Missouri Avenue. The areas northeast of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and north of Cleveland Street and east of Hillcrest Avenue should be maintained as a primarily low density, low-rise residential neighborhood. The areas southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, south of Cleveland Street, and north of Cleveland Street west of Hillcrest Avenue are appropriate for medium- and high-density multi- family residential. Institutional uses should remain primarily south of Cleveland Street. Function Although the East Gateway District is predominantly a residential neighborhood, it will be the primary entrance to the Downtown Core once the new Memorial Causeway Bridge opens. Consequently, this presents an opportunity to define and improve the function of this District with attractive streetscape and landscaping elements along with appropriate wayfinding signage. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Development Patterns The existing residential areas should retain their scale and development patterns and any infill development in this area should reflect the existing low-rise pattern. New multi- family development should be developed at a medium density and scale and provide variety in housing types and pricing. It is envisioned that new commercial development should provide employment opportunities for the District's residents as well as serve the daily commercial and personal service needs of the neighborhood. Commercial and office development should be redeveloped at a scale compatible with the neighborhood; consolidation of small obsolete development parcels/buildings is encouraged to create an adequate lot size for modem development standards. Prohibited Uses Automobile service stations, all types of vehicle sales and service uses, fast food restaurants with drive-through services, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors.) Intensity A. A portion of the East Gateway has a future land use plan designation of Central Business District (CDB) and is zoned D, Downtown. This section is generally located between Missouri and Frederica Avenues one block north and south of Cleveland Street and is depicted on Map 9, page 77. Development shall be permitted as follows within this area: Floor Area Ratio - 0.55 FAR; Density- 30 dwelling units per acre Height Office - 50'; Commercial - 25' - 35' B. The' remaining portion of the East Gateway does not have the Central Business District (CBD) land use category and is governed by a variety of residential and nonresidential plan categories. These categories, along with the current zoning designations shall govern intensity and density, as well as height. However, development shall also be consistent with the East Gateway character district. East Gateway District Policies Policy 1: Any proposed rezoning and/or land use plan amendment within the East Gateway should be consistent with this Plan. 75 76 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 2: The residential base including rental properties should be stabilized by providing for an improved mix of affordable and market-rate housing options including infill developments, rehabilitations, homeownership and rental housing choices. Policy 3: The expansion of the existing Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) facilities should be supported as a Downtown "campus" that will address the emergency and transitional housing needs of the Downtown homeless (within a structured/supervised program), and which will prevent future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood. Policy 4: The concentration of problematic uses, especially day labor facilities, should be reduced through voluntary relocation or amortization. Policy 5: The conversion of existing motels into residential apartments should be prohibited. Policy 6: Foster a sense of neighborhood cohesion through urban design elements, as well as through the creation of neighborhood associations. Policy 7: Attract and assist existing retail and personal service establishments in order to create neighborhood employment opportunities. Policy 8: New development on Gulf to Bay Boulevard shall be oriented toward the Street to encourage pedestrian activity. Policy 9: Evaluate limited expansions of the Commercial and Downtown zoning District boundaries on Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street that may create opportunities for commercial expansions and/or redevelopment that is consistent with Community Development Code requirements. Policy 10: Residential development fronting on Cleveland Street may only be permitted if part of a mixed use development. Policy 11: Encourage the assembly of vacant and underutilized properties, as well as the demolition of deteriorated buildings to accommodate redevelopment projects that meet Clearwater Community Development Code standards. Policy 12: Encourage the adaptive re-use of underutilized buildings in the event redevelopment is not feasible. Policy 13: Provide neighborhood-wide education programs relating to housing maintenance and life safety issues prior to conducting any systematic code enforcement program.

HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD ELEMENT Residential Use Existing Residential Conditions As stated in Chapter 2, Existing Conditions, there are 540 acres of land in Downtown Clearwater. Of this acreage, approximately 28 percent or 148.8 acres are devoted to residential land uses. Thirteen percent of this area is devoted to multi-family use; five percent to two-family or duplex use and over nine percent is occupied by single-family dwellings. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there are a total of2,801 housing units in Downtown. Forty percent of these units were constructed before 1960. Between 1990 and 2000, there has been an almost seven percent decrease in housing units but conversely a population increase of almost seven percent from 4,825 people in 1990 to 5,160 persons in 2000. Renters primarily occupy housing in Downtown. In 2000, almost 75 percent of the total housing units were renter-occupied whereas the rental rate for the city as a whole was only 38 percent. The median value of owner-occupied housing units in Downtown is $86,919, which is significantly lower than the City's median of $113,416. For a better understanding of the location and types of housing located in Downtown, a detailed review of each character district follows. Downtown Core District In the Downtown Core there are no single-family dwellings or duplexes. There are several large multi-family developments and one smaller one. Eighty-two percent of these units were constructed between 1970 and 1979. The large multi-family projects are either located on Clearwater Harbor or directly across the street from it. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, only 33 percent of these units are owner-occupied. The median value of the owner occupied units is $350,000, which is more than four times greater than the Downtown Plan area's median value and more than three times greater than the City's overall median housing value. Old Bay District Approximately 25 percent of the land area in the Old Bay District is used for residential purposes. The majority of these properties are located west of Osceola Avenue and between Garden Avenue and Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail. Old Bay is characterized by a variety of housing types ranging from small older single-family homes to newer multi- family housing located along Clearwater Harbor. Old Bay has a significant percentage of older home construction. Thirty percent of the housing units were constructed before 1940 and another 35 percent were constructed between 1940 - 1959. Home ownership rates are much higher in Old Bay (41 percent) than in the Downtown as a whole (25 79 80 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 percent). Housing values are also higher with the median value of owner-occupied housing at $97,500 compared to $86,919 in the entire Downtown. South Gateway District There are very few housing units (17) remaining in South Gateway and they occupy only four percent of the District's land area. Over the years some of the District's housing stock, mainly along Turner Street, has been converted to office uses. Also, the City has demolished several unsafe dwellings in recent years because the property owners refused to make the necessary repairs to render them safe. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, only 8.7 percent of the housing in South Gateway is owner-occupied and has a median value of$99,265. Town Lake Residential District Most of the residential uses located in the Town Lake Residential District are located in the vicinity of Drew and Grove Streets. Single-family and two-family dwellings comprise the majority of housing in this District and almost 90 percent is renter-occupied. The median value of owner-occupied units is $87,500, which is consistent with the median value of the Downtown Plan area. Almost 45 percent of the housing in this District was constructed before 1950 with 23 percent being constructed prior to 1939. Several townhouse projects are currently under construction, which represents the first new housing construction to occur in this area in quite some time. It should be noted that the southeast section of the Town Lake Residential District is located in the expanded CRA. Town Lake Business Park District Only eight percent of the land located in the Town Lake Business Park District is occupied by residential uses. Single-family and two-family dwellings are scattered throughout the area between Court and Pierce Streets, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Madison Avenues and 71 percent was constructed prior to 1950. Eleven percent of these units are owner-occupied and the median value is $87,500. This District is located in the expanded CRA and also has a very high rate of renter-occupancy approaching 89 percent. East Gateway District The majority of land (53 percent) in the East Gateway District is devoted to residential uses. Twenty-two percent of the area is occupied by multi-family uses, two-family dwellings occupy almost 12 percent and single-family dwellings occupy over 19 percent. These uses are located north and south of Cleveland Street and Gulf to Bay Boulevard. The housing in East Gateway is newer than that found in other character districts. Almost 70% was constructed between 1950 and 1980. Like the majority of Downtown, East Gateway has a high percentage of rental units approaching 77 percent of the total. The median value of owner-occupied housing is $80,556 which is almost $6,000 less than the median for the Downtown Plan area. The entire East Gateway is located in the expanded CRA. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Existing Income Conditions In addition to the high renter-occupancy rate and an aging housing stock, an important factor affecting housing in Downtown are low income levels. The median household income in Downtown is $32,254, which represents an 80% increase since 1990. Even though this increase in income is very positive, the median value remains less than the median for the City as a whole ($40,480). Large concentrations of low-moderate income persons are found in all character districts, with the exception of the Downtown Core. In fact, all but two Census block groups located in Downtown have been classified by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as low/moderate income. This means that at least 51 % of the household incomes are less than 80% of the median income for the City. Following is a breakdown of median income by each character district. Table 6 Median Household Income Character District* Median Value Downtown Core $67,130 Old Bay $29,231 South Gateway $19,000 Town Lake Residential $21,850 Town Lake Business $22,857 East Gateway $33,102 City of Clearwater $40,480 *Not all character district boundaries coincide with Census Block boundaries. Existing Housing Programs The City of Clearwater Economic Development and Housing Department provides a variety of housing programs to assist very low- to moderate-income property owners. These programs are funded by two federal and one state program: from the federal government, the City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds. From the state, The City receives State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds. These programs are made available to Clearwater property owners directly from the City or through community non-profit partners, to which the City provides funds for specific projects. Loans are provided to homeowners for rehabilitation, down payments and closing costs, land acquisition, and replacement housing. Grants are available for emergency repairs and to social service agencies that provide services to the homeless. Homeless Issues Like many downtowns and especially those located in warmer climates, the City of Clearwater faces an ongoing challenge with homeless persons in Downtown. There are several thousand homeless persons in Pinellas County but it is difficult to know the number located in Clearwater. Agencies providing temporary shelter for this population, however, indicate there are not enough beds to accommodate the need. It is evident that as funding from federal and state programs continues to be reduced, the City's responsibilities for the homeless will continue to grow. 81 82 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 There are several components of the homeless population. There are those homeless persons seeking to improve their status and seek assistance. These. persons work everyday but still need a place to live. There are also those homeless persons who elect not to seek assistance and live on the street. This group may include the mentally ill, addicted individuals or those who prefer no structured environment or assistance at all. It is this latter group of homeless that is particularly visible in Downtown and creates problems for those working, living and patronizing the area. Issues associated with this homeless group include intimidation, panhandling, crime, use of outdoor spaces for personal hygiene, etc. This homeless group is attracted to Downtown for many reasons including the location of the PST A bus terminal, the Post Office, a blood plasma center, access to social services, day labor establishments, bars and inexpensive motels. There are a number of agencies located in Downtown that provide assistance to the homeless including the Salvation Army, Pinellas County Social Services, Calvary Baptist Church, St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen and the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP). The City of Clearwater, through the lead of the Police Department, has developed innovative programs to assist homeless persons and to manage the problems related to homelessness. In 1998, the CHIP facility opened for service and was developed to operate in cooperation with the St. Vincent de Paul soup kitchen. CHIP operates a 24- hour, 7 days per week residential emergency shelter and provides counseling of all types for those homeless persons seeking assistance. The CHIP outreach programs assist approximately 100 persons a day. Currently, the CHIP program is seeking approval for a "mid-term", transitional housing for those who have successfully completed the short- term program and are seeking to re-enter mains~ream society through employment and full-time shelter. In an attempt to address the homeless issue in a comprehensive manner, the City of Clearwater formed a Homeless Task Force in 2002 made up of representatives from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The Task Force is charged with identifying homeless issues and potential short and long-term solutions. Long-range objectives under consideration include the expansion of the CHIP facilities, the need for an inebriate/emergency shelter family care center in north Pinellas County, construction of additional transitional housing, permanent housing options and increased homeless funding opportunities. Housing Policies As described above, Downtown does not lack land devoted to residential purposes nor does the area have a housing shortage for existing residents. However, there are issues affecting Downtown's desirability as a place to live including significantly high rental occupancies, absentee landlords, overcrowding in certain areas, a relatively old housing stock, deferred housing maintenance, and a disproportionate number of low-moderate income residents. Left in its current state, it is likely that the existing housing in Downtown will only continue to attract those who do not have other housing choices. I I I I I I I I I I I I' I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 An important aspect of the People Goal established for Downtown (page 49) is to make Downtown a place that attracts people for living. In order to reach this goal, Objectives 1 G and 11 (pages 49 -50) support encouraging residential uses with a variety of densities, housing types, costs and making available incentives to gain more residential uses Downtown. Due to its location as the employment and government center, is base of potential redevelopment infill parcels, its views of Clearwater Harbor and its close proximity to Clearwater Beach, and lack of significant crime, Downtown is an excellent location for new and rehabilitated housing. In fact, it is anticipated that the construction of an additional 600 - 1,000 residential units can be supported. The following policies support improving the condition of the existing Downtown housing stock, construction of new housing and strategies for improving the situation for the homeless. Policy 1: Support increased home ownership and improved housing maintenance by targeting Downtown for the use of CDBG, HOME and SHIP programs. Policy 2: Continue and expand housing rehabilitation programs for very low- to moderate-income persons with relaxed underwriting guidelines to facilitate a comprehensive impact. Policy 3: Increase down payment and closing cost assistance for very low- to moderate- income persons to encourage potential homeowners to purchase in Downtown. Policy 4: Provide assistance for the acquisition, development and rehabilitation of affordable and mixed-income multi-family properties. Policy 5: Target the East Gateway and Old Bay Districts for housing rehabilitation and new infill construction that will attract income-qualified property owners providing a mix of incomes. Policy 6: Provide funds to for-profit and non-profit housing developers and to income eligible households to acquire vacant lots and/or construct single-family dwellings in the Old Bay and East Gateway Districts. Policy 7: Target the existing single-family and two-family areas in the Town Lake Residential District for housing rehabilitation and increased home ownership. Policy 8: Target the Downtown Core, South Gateway and Town Lake Residential District for new multi-family owner and renter-occupied development. Policy 9: Encourage additional non-profit agencies to work in Downtown to provide additional housing. Policy 10: Support the growth of Hispanic non-profit agencies, especially those focusing on providing housing in East Gateway. 83 84 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Policy 11: Support neighborhood outreach activities that teach property owners about housing maintenance skills. Policy 12: Expand the Paint Your Heart Out program to include properties m the Downtown. Policy 13: Continue to work with the Pinellas County and other coordinating organizations to address the problem with the inebriate, addicted and hardcore homeless population. Policy 14: Continue the public/private Homeless Task Force to identify and implement short and long term solutions to the homeless issues. Housing Strategies In order to implement the above policies, the following strategies should be pursued. Strategy 1: Consider offering the required "local contribution" to developers who are applying for housing tax credits and/or state or local multi-family bonds for projects in Downtown. Lead: Economic Development and Housing Department Strategy 2: Evaluate the feasibility of assisting potential low-moderate income homebuyers to purchase two-family dwellings so that they can occupy one unit and rent the other to assist in the mortgage payment. Lead: Economic Development and Housing Department Neighborhood Impact Assessment According to Florida's Community Redevelopment Act, Florida Statutes Chapter 163, Part III, a neighborhood impact assessment is required for a Redevelopment Plan if the Redevelopment Area contains low and moderate-income housing. Clearwater's original Community Redevelopment Area and Plan were approved in 1981; the statutory regulations at the time required a "neighborhood impact element" only if a proiect (emphasis added) of the redevelopment plan contained and would affect low or moderate- income housing. Amendments to the Community Redevelopment Act in 1983 and again in 1984 revised the neighborhood impact element to be required if a redevelopment area (emphasis added) contained low- or moderate-income housing and if the redevelopment would affect the residents in the redevelopment area. The eastern expansion of the Redevelopment Area does contain very low- to moderate- income housing; therefore, the neighborhood impact assessment has been conducted for this expansion area only. The statute establishes six elements that should be reviewed as part of the neighborhood impact assessment: . Relocation . Traffic Circulation I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 . Environmental Quality . Availability of Community Facilities and Services . Effect on School Population . Other matters affecting the physical and social quality of the neighborhood. Relocation In the event that relocation of existing residents is proposed to implement this Plan, the City of Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) will comply with the Tenant Relocation Plan provisions of Pine lIas County Code (Sec. 38-81 through 38-86, as amended). In accordance with Pinellas County regulations, the CRA will provide relocation assistance if the CRA sponsors or assists redevelopment involving the acquisition of land. The City's Economic Development and Housing Department, acting as the CRA Staff, will ensure consistence with the relocation and compensation program. At a minimum, the relocation assistance will include advance written notice to tenants, advisory services to assist tenants in finding appropriate replacement housing, and payment of relocation expenses. Although not contemplated by the Plan, should relocation of existing residents be proposed using federal funds, the project shall comply with the federal Uniform Relocation Act of 1970, (Public Law 91-646). Traffic Circulation There is only one planned change in the traffic circulation pattern within the Downtown. The City and Florida Department of Transportation are constructing a new fixed span bridge to replace the drawbridge that connects the mainland with the beach. As part of the bridge replacement, access to and from the bridge will be revised such that Court and Chestnut Streets will form a one-way pair for entrance and exit to the bridge. As a direct result of that new access, the new entry to Downtown from the eastern sections of the City will be changed to Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street at their intersection with Highland Street. The Florida Department of Transportation and the City currently have an agreement to designate the Court/Chestnut pair as State Road 60 as revised from the existing Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street designation. Therefore, Gulf to Bay Boulevard from Highland Street to Cleveland Street and the entire length of Cleveland Street will be reclaimed as local streets. The Master Streetscape Plan, a component of this plan, envisions improving the transition of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, Highland Avenue and Court Street as well as the length of Cleveland Street through Downtown. These improvements are intended to recognize the importance of the new eastern gateway into Downtown. In addition, Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Cleveland Street will serve as local streets for the adjacent residential neighborhoods of the expansion area as well as the neighborhood commercial focus for those neighborhoods. No changes in the secondary street pattern are planned and those streets will continue to serve as local streets for the expansion area. The planned traffic circulation changes described above will not negatively impact the expanSIon area. 85 86 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Environmental Ouality This impact assessment evaluated three areas of environmental quality: potable water, wastewater and stormwater management. With regard to potable water, the entirety of the expansion area has access to the City of Clearwater potable water system. Regarding wastewater service, the entire expansion area is also served by City of Clearwater wastewater system. No major improvements to either of these utilities are needed to better serve the expansion area since capacity is available to meet the anticipated redevelopment needs. Therefore, there is no expected negative impact to the expansion area with regard to potable water and wastewater services. With regard to the stormwater management, the City has embarked on a major regional stormwater management solution within Downtown. The City has constructed a regional stormwater management retention area known as "Town Pond" which is located in the Town Lake Residential Character District south of Cleveland Street and between Prospect and Ewing Avenues. For development within selected stormwater basins, stormwater is directed to the Town Pond and chemically treated. New development within the. service area has the option of discharging their stormwater into this system rather than installing an on-site stormwater retention pond. This regional stormwater pond is intended to improve the water quality system-wide as well as reducing the number of unsightly and poorly maintained individual stormwater facilities. Map 14, page 155, identifies the Town Lake Regional Stormwater District and the Town Pond location. Availability of Community Facilities and Services Within the greater Downtown, there are a variety of community facilities and services available to residents. Existing community facilities include a variety of parks and recreational facilities, governmental offices, social service agencies, churches and community clubs. The Plan recognizes the importance of these facilities in the life of residents and the Plan supports the retention ofthese facilities in the area. Effect on School Population There are no public schools located in the expansion area. However, there are several elementary schools in close proximity to the expansion area to serve the existing and new school age children. St. Cecilia School is located on Court Street at Hillcrest Avenue and is the sole private, parochial school in the expansion area drawing students from throughout the City. The redevelopment plan will not have a detrimental effect on providing school facilities to the anticipated new students in the area. Other Matters Affecting the Physical and Social Ouality ofthe Neighborhood The proposed redevelopment activities are intended. to provide stability to both the residential area as well as the commercial uses within the expansion area. The planned infrastructure projects will enhance the image of the neighborhood and serve to attract new businesses including retail and office development. The improved maintenance of streets, sidewalks, and landscaping as well as housing rehabilitation will improve the I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 quality of the neighborhood. Overall, the proposed redevelopment strategies will serve to increase the quality of life for all expansion area residents. In summary, the proposed strategies in this Redevelopment Plan are not expected to negatively impact the expanded Community Redevelopment Area. MASTER STREETSCAPE AND W AYFINDING PLAN The Downtown Clearwater Master Streetscape and Wayfinding Plan, prepared by Bellomo-Herbert and Shaughnessy Hart, provides conceptual streetscape design plans for prototypical Downtown streets, as well as public signage within the Downtown. The public investment associated with this Plan is evidence of the City's confidence in the future of Downtown Clearwater. It also sets a high standard for improvements in the public realm, which will dictate the same level of quality in the private realm. The streetscape plan is intended to accomplish the objectives listed below: . Improve the pedestrian and vehicular environments within Downtown; . Create opportunities for an active street life e.g. sidewalk cafes, special events, etc.; . Better define the Downtown area; . Improve aesthetics of Downtown; and . Create a sense of identity for the Downtown. The Master Streetscape Plan establishes a hierarchy of four street types within Downtown, excluding Old Bay. In addition to the streetscape treatments listed below and illustrated on the following pages, gateways into Downtown will have a specialized treatment that includes a historic pillar that is rooted in similar pillars once located on Cleveland Street just west of Osceola Avenue. Additionally, gateways will include enhanced levels of landscaping and identification signage. . Downtown Corridor. This corridor is comprised of Cleveland Street west of South Myrtle Avenue, South Fort Harrison Avenue and North Osceola Avenue. The Plan specifies a significantly high level of streetscape treatment for these streets because of their function as the major pedestrian streets within the Downtown. Improvements include a variety of paving materials, medians, palm and oak trees, decorative lighting fixtures that can support banners and hanging plants, a fountain plaza and wrought iron-style street furnishings. The Plan also includes the placement of finials, urns, and other street furniture throughout the area to provide an interesting pedestrian experience. 87 88 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 . Beach Access Corridor. This corridor includes the Court and Chestnut Streets one-way pair between Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and the Memorial Causeway Bridge. This highly visible corridor is the major traffic corridor between the mainland and the beach. The streetscape treatment along this corridor will consist of sidewalks, palm trees, decorative lighting, benches and painted crosswalks. . Commercial A. This street type includes the remainder of Cleveland and Court Streets, Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Myrtle and Missouri Avenues. These streets are more vehicular than pedestrian oriented. The Streetscape Plan specifies that date palms will line the streets with oaks located in landscape islands in the center of the street where right-of-way widths permit. Street furnishings, decorative lights and pavers are also included in this design. . Commercial B. This street type is comprised of the secondary streets within Downtown including Prospect Avenue, South Garden Avenue, Laura Street, Pierce Street, etc. Design elements for this street type include large canopy trees with palms located at intersections, decorative lighting, sidewalks and benches. The Wayfinding Plan is designed to direct travelers to Downtown and to provide direction to public facilities including public parking, public buildings, parks, etc. within the Downtown. It is also intended to provide identification/branding signage for the character districts. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ ! c:c. c::z:: ~ "-~ 89 I I I I I I I I ~ I !

Existing improvements provide adequate recreational opportunities, however, enhancements to the park system could elevate the quality of these facilities and contribute to making Downtown a destination attracting both residents and visitors. To achieve this goal, major improvements are planned for several Downtown recreational facilities. These improvements are described below and located on Map 10, page 119. Coachman Park The Downtown Plan supports the renovation and expansion of Coachman Park, the City's premier waterfront park. The Coachman Park Master Plan, prepared by Bellomo- Herbert, makes significant improvements to this park and better utilizes its waterfront location. The park is currently 6.3 acres in area. Several existing rights-of-way will be incorporated into the park including Cleveland Street west of Osceola Avenue and portions of Drew Street and Pierce Boulevard. The expansion will also eliminate expansive intrusions of asphalt by incorporating parking located south of the existing park for park uses. The design also integrates the Bayfront Park and City-owned land located south of the existing park and west of Calvary Baptist Church and City Hall into the site. This expansion will result in a 17.8-acre urban waterfront park that will be a Downtown destination and a catalyst for Downtown redevelopment. Since much of the park's redevelopment hinges on the removal and relocation of existing parking, a key component of this design is the ability to phase improvements so that as alternative parking is constructed, more park improvements can be made. Parking can be accomplished either through the construction of a garage south of the park, in residual land rendered unusable by the new Memorial Causeway Bridge or in a garage constructed on the east side of Osceola Avenue. The Coachman Park Master Plan includes the following improvements and is illustrated on page 121: . New amphitheater in a new location at north end of park; . Great lawn that encompasses significant area for events and as passive recreation space; . Interactive play fountain; . Children's play area; . Water feature; . Restrooms; and . Marina The addition of land and active areas, as well as the removal of asphalt will create an urban waterfront park that is unprecedented within Pinellas County and the State of Florida. 117 118 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 o 'r"" C:. ftlI == "Ol'n C Q) l".S.... .- (1)= "C..!r:(,) cu II... ca Ujeau.. 00..

Office workers, Downtown events sponsored by Main Street, as well as City-wide events and the Farmer's Market use this park. The Downtown Plan advocates improvements that will enhance the park's appearance and versatility making it a more desirable place for casual and programmed gatherings. The Station Square Concept Design, prepared by Bellomo- Herbert, implements these goals by incorporating the following improvements: . Elimination of existing water feature; . Construction of elevated stage for entertainment and special events; . Creation of a plaza, . Terrace seating; . New pavers; . Removable chairs; . New stand-alone and built-in benches; and . Significant plantings Trails The Fred E. Marquis Pinellas Trail traverses Downtown primarily located along the East Avenue right-of-way in the core and in a dedicated greenway north of Drew Street. In order to make this facility more pedestrian/bicycle friendly and safe, the Downtown Plan supports the enhancement of this facility. Creating a dedicated bike lane within the core area will increase safety, as well as appearance. The only way to accomplish this is to reconfigure the East Avenue right-of-way from a two-way, two-lane roadway to a one- way, one-lane roadway with a landscaped, dedicated trail separated from vehicular traffic. In recognizing the importance of providing alternative transportation and recreation opportunities from the mainland to Clearwater Beach, the Downtown Plan also supports the creation of the Clearwater Beach Connector Spur. This new trail will be constructed from the existing Pinellas Trail west along Turner Street, north on Oak Street to connect with the new Memorial Causeway Bridge, which has a dedicated pedestrianlbike lane.

Termination of Cleveland Street at Osceola Avenue; . Termination of Drew Street at (approximately) the fishing pier's existing location at the north end of the waterfront; and . Termination of Pierce Boulevard east of the base of the existing bridge. The termination of these three streets will enhance the Coachman Park Master Plan by increasing water views within the park, create a significant pedestrian entry to the Park in the Cleveland Street right-of-way, provide for adequate event staging area and create a vehicular drop-off area for the proposed marina and waterfront restaurant. :)1if'~ c:E 3:.$ o 1/1 -~ 1:(1) 3: 'I: o 0 C .- +' '-g ~ II) 0 OQ, 0.1/1 o t: '",", ftIj, a.. ,:: li~~'~ -IW:H~1 i!~,~;~ iii:!<II"'1 ~~, l ~. i .l::I '~,I~,'~' ~J'!i!)I'ltl\} .

The public strategies are actions to be taken to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the Downtown Plan. In some cases, the action is very specific, i.e., to amend the Community Development Code on a specific topic that implements a Downtown goal. In other cases, implementation of the Downtown Plan requires that the City study effective ways to address the issue. Through a study and/or comparison of innovative techniques used by other cities, Clearwater can learn from other examples and glean the most relevant actions for Clearwater. The majority of the strategies are applicable to the entire Downtown; there are a few strategies specific to character districts. In addition to the description of each strategy, the strategies are summarized in a table including the lead department and timing for the strategy. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) establishes the major improvements that are needed Downtown and is the most visible way that the Downtown Plan will be implemented. The Capital Improvement Plan includes five general types of improvements: . Street Repaving/Resurfacing . Utilities and Infrastructure . Streetscape Improvements/Landscaping . Parks and Recreation Facilities . Public Uses The CIP includes the project name, fiscal year of planned construction, the location, existing and potential funding sources, and estimated cost. It should be noted that the existing and potential funding sources identify that a project is eligible for funding through that source, not that funding is guaranteed or already obtained for the project. The CIP lists the project by funding priority in fiscal year order and, in a second table, organized by the five general types of construction. A description of each project is also included. The third section of the Implementation Chapter lists the existing Redevelopment Incentives currently available to development. Detailed information on each incentive is listed, including the program goal, eligibility of projects, funding source, award ranges, sample projects and a contact for more information. It is hoped that this section will be a resource for the private sector during the development of a project. The final section of the Implementation Chapter is the Tax Increment Revenue Projections. The City has estimated the revenues to be available through the tax increment in the Community Redevelopment Area. This estimate will assist the City in planning and budgeting for capital improvements and other expenditures of the Community Redevelopment Agency. 129 130 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 ])ovvntovvn Strategies Strategy 1: Prepare a study evaluating effective incentives to encourage residential and commercial uses Downtown. Strategy 2: Prepare a zoning study to evaluate the appropriate zoning district boundaries for the following areas: · Areas with inconsistent zoning and land use plan designation. · East Gateway District-evaluate expansion of the Commercial district in certain locations along Gulf to Bay Boulevard to facilitate consolidated redevelopment sites. · Evaluate Downtown (zoning) and Central Business District (land use) (D/CDB) area along both sides of Cleveland Street from Missouri Avenue to the existing eastern border at (approximately) Fredrlca Avenue. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether D/CBD is appropriate' at that location or if the more appropriate zoning is Commercial District and varied residential districts. Strategy 3: Amend the Community Development Code, Downtown District, to allow certain uses to be minimum standard development to streamline the development review process; amend the Downtown District to be consistent with this Plan. Strategy 4: Amend the Community Development Code to establish the Public Amenities Incentives Pool. The eligible Public Amenities shall be directly related to implementation of the goals of this Redevelopment Plan and may include, but are not limited to: · Day care facility; · Portion of project reserved for Affordable Housing; · Significant Public Space on site; · Public Art on site; · Preservation of a historic building to the Secretary of Interior's Standards; · Construction of public parking on site; · Cultural or Performing Arts Facility on site; · Contributions to Master Streetscape and Wayfinding Plan; · Contributions to Coachman Park or Station Square Master Plan; · Contributions to Pinellas Trail or connector trails; · Contributions to public parking facility; and · As determined by the City Commission. The criteria for awarding density/intensity increases from the Incentive Pool shall be based on the following criteria: that the project is consistent with the Redevelopment Plan; the degree to which the project contributes to the desired character of the Downtown area and the character district in I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft: Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 which located; the size of the incentive granted shall be related to the value of the project to the Downtown goals, objectives and policies. Strategy 5: Amend the Community Development Code regarding Transfer of Development Rights to be consistent with this Plan, including removal of the 20 percent limit transferred to a receiving site. Strategy 6: Evaluate the potential and owner interest for a National Register or local historic district in these areas: Cleveland Street from Myrtle to Osceola Avenues; Old Bay character district; and Grove Street in the Town Lake Residential Character District. The study shall be based on the National Register of Historic Places standards and shall be conducted by a firm or individuals qualified in historic preservation, architectural history, architecture, or other qualified field. Strategy 7: Evaluate the implementation of incentives for preservation of historic resources, i.e., local ad valorem tax abatement pursuant to Florida Statutes, historic Building Code, etc. Strategy 8: Enhance existing or develop new programs to educate residents and business owners on the importance of building and property maintenance. Strategy 9: Increase the funds available for the fac;ade grant program. Develop funding priorities for Cleveland Street in the Downtown Core, Cleveland Street Northeast in Town Lake Residential and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard in the East Gateway. Within each target area, funding priorities may emphasize the local critical issues. Strategy 10: Review the existing transportation impact fee ordinance, open space and recreation impact fee ordinance, and payment in-lieu of providing parking ordinance to determine applicability in the expanded Downtown Plan area. Strategy 11: Amend the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan to designate Downtown as an urban redevelopment area, as described in Florida Statutes. Once approved by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), work through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MFO) to designate all or portions of Downtown as a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). Strategy 12: Prepare a traffic analysis to evaluate traffic operations and make intersection improvements subject to that evaluation, after the new bridge opens. Strategy 13: Prepare a traffic analysis to evaluate the ability to designate all or parts of Downtown as a No-Fee Transportation Zone after the new bridge opens. 131 132 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Strategy 14: Evaluate whether or not there are any active septic tanks within the Downtown. If active septic tanks exist, develop program to eliminate the tank and connect the property to City sewer system. The City shall prioritize the use of CDBG and any other available funds to accomplish eliminating the septic tanks. Strategy 15: Identify needed improvements to the sidewalk system within Downtown and incorporate those improvements into the Capital hnprovement Budget beginning in Fiscal Year 2004/2005. Strategy 16: Continue to market redevelopment sites and develop targeted markets or sites within each character district to encourage their redevelopment. Strategy 17: Evaluate and develop a flexible Building Code that addresses the special challenges of redeveloping/retrofitting old structures while maintaining the goals of health, safety and welfare. Strategy 18: Evaluate implementation of the State legislation establishing a Nuisance Abatement Board to address serious and recurring Code violations and criminal activity. Downtown Core Character District Strategies Strategy 19: Continue to implement the agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to redesignate Alternate U.S. Highway 19 from Fort Harrison Avenue to Myrtle Avenue. The City shall also continue to implement the agreement with the FDOT to redesignate State Road 60 from the existing Cleveland Street to the Court/Chestnut Streets pair. Strategy 20: Amend the Community Development Code to revise the payment in-lieu of parking provision. The amendment shall define the applicable geographic area, establish the fee amount by type of use, establish uses that shall not be eligible for the payment in-lieu of fee and establish the allowable uses of the collected fees. Old Bay Character District Strategies Strategy 21: Coordinate with the Salvation Army to ensure that the future redevelopment of the site is compatible with the surrounding areas and at an appropriate scale. Town Lake Residential Character District Strategies Strategy 22: Evaluate engineering alternatives to the stormwater system to effect the elimination of the existing stormwater pond located on the south side of Gould Street midway between Missouri and Madison Avenues. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 East Gateway Character District Strategies Strategy 23: Evaluate the ability to amortize problematic uses, develop and implement an amortization schedule within the legal framework. Strategy 24: Evaluate the potential public/open space use of the triangular property bounded by Gulf to Bay Boulevard, Cleveland Street and Hillcrest Avenue. The site's prime location could serve as both a gateway for the East Gateway District and as a significant component of the Cleveland Street Streetscape Improvements. The City may consider vacation of Hillcrest Avenue to consolidate the site. Strategy 25: Explore creative solutions to provide a playground to serve the area generally located south of Cleveland Street and southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Strategy 26: Continue to assist the Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) in its mission to serve the homeless population in Downtown. Strategy 27: Assist the business owners in creating a Merchants Association to work with the City on marketing and neighborhood employment issues which would improve communications between the City and business owners. Strategy 28: Assist the residents of the East Gateway in creating a Neighborhood Association to serve as the neighborhood's voice, improve communications between the neighborhood and the City and help foster neighborhood- based solutions to local problems. Strategy 29: Assist the residents of the East Gateway residential areas in the formation of one or more neighborhood crime watch associations. Strategy 30: Provide a more visible community policing presence within the East Gateway neighborhood. Strategy 31: Continue to support the Police Department's Hispanic Outreach Program and Apoyo Center. The Apoyo Center addresses many of the service needs of the neighborhood through partnering with other organizations and businesses. Programs of the Apoyo Center include interpretation services, recruitment of bilingual officers, a victim advocacy outreach program, a domestic violence program, crime prevention and drug and alcohol education. 133 134 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Strategy 32: Continue to support the YWCAlGty of Oearwater Hispanic Outreach Center and emphasize continuing and enhanced partnerships with social service agencies to assist East Gateway residents. Programs include childcare, diplomatic intetvention, adult education, English classes, GED instruction, computer and job training and other related services as the need arises. Strategy 33: Research implementing a low-interest loan program to assist businesses with a variety of activities including the acquisition of buildings and/or properties and the rehabilitation or new construction of new office or commercial space. Strategy 34: Work with the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce to target small business needs. Strategy 35: Establish partnerships with local banks to facilitate conventional loans to businesses in the area.

It is anticipated that these new directional and informational signs would be in place by February 2004. Fort Harrison Avenue/Alt. U.S. Hi2hwav 19 Resurfacin2: A FDOT resurfacing project is currently underway on Fort Harrison Avenue from Drew Street south to the City of Largo and will be completed by late 2003. This will be followed by a FDOT Fort Harrison Avenue resurfacing project from Drew Street north to the City of Dunedin to be completed by mid-2004. At that time, the northern phase of the Fort Harrison Avenue resurfacing project and the Myrtle Avenue project will have been completed and the State Road 595 (Alternate U.S. Highway 19) designation will be reassigned from Fort Harrison Avenue to Missouri Avenue, Court Street and Myrtle Avenue. Concurrently, the western terminus of the S.R. 590 designation on Drew Street will move from Fort Harrison Avenue east to Myrtle Avenue. Intersection Improvements: Various improvements to Downtown intersections, primarily signal timing modifications and/or turn lanes are proposed. The location of the actual intersections will be determined following a traffic analyses to be conducted subsequent to the opening of the new Memorial Causeway Bridge and transference of the State Road 595 (Alternate U.S. Highway 19) designation from Fort Harrison Avenue to Missouri Avenue, Court Street and Myrtle Avenue. Pump Station #16: The City will replace and relocate the sanitary pump station currently located on the Bluff behind City Hall. The City is currently evaluating the final location of the pump, which will most likely be on the south side of the west end of Pierce Street. The project is scheduled to go to construction in August 2003 and be completed in August 2004. Pump Station #12: The City will replace and relocate the sanitary pump station currently located at 900 North Osceola Avenue (on the east side of Clearwater Bay Marina). The City is currently finalizing the new location in coordination with Clearwater Bay Marina development (under review). Construction estimated to take place in late 2003 to be completed four months later. 145 146 I I I I I I I I I I I 'I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Cleveland Street Streetscape: As the primary "Main Street" within our Downtown, the City intends to implement the construction of the Downtown streetscape for Cleveland Street from Myrtle to Osceola Avenues as soon as possible. To that end, the City will be initiating the preparation of construction drawings, specifications, and the partial construction of this segment in 2004 - 2006. Myrtle Avenue Reconstruction: The City is finalizing plans to reconstruct and resurface Myrtle Avenue throughout the Downtown area. Construction is scheduled to be complete in mid-2004 at which time the State Road 595 (Alternate U.S. Highway 19) designation will be reassigned from Fort Harrison Avenue to Missouri Avenue, Court Street and Myrtle Avenue. In addition, the western terminus of the S.R. 590 designation on Drew Street will move from Fort Harrison Avenue east to Myrtle Avenue. Station Sauare Park Redevelopment: As part of the Cleveland Street streetscape and wayfinding signage improvements, it is the intention of the City to encourage the redevelopment of this important Downtown urban space. It may be possible to initiate this project concurrent with the proposed redevelopment of the Station Square parking lot as part of a significant, mixed land use proj ect. Clearwater Beach Connector Spur (Pinellas Trail): The Clearwater Beach Connector Spur will provide a multi-use trail facility connecting Clearwater Beach, Downtown and the Pinellas Trail. Approximately 2,000 feet of the Connector Spur is located within the Downtown area between the intersection of Turner Street and East Avenue (part of the proposed Pinellas Trail and East Avenue Widening project) and the new Memorial Causeway Bridge (presently under construction). Gulf to Bay Boulevard and Hi2hland Avenue Gateway Intersection Improvement: Once the Memorial Causeway Bridge is open in 2004, a substantial portion of existing traffic utilizing Cleveland Street will move onto Court Street resulting in a significant reduction in traffic Downtown. This reduction may result in certain negative impacts on Downtown businesses. In addition, future traffic might mistakenly utilize Cleveland Street, which will terminate at Osceola Avenue, as a route to the beach. Therefore, the City, acknowledging the level of importance of this "Gateway" intersection, will implement this portion of the Downtown streetscape indicating the correct routes to either the Downtown or Beach to motorists. Fort Harrison Avenue Streetscape: As a major "Gateway" thoroughfare within the Downtown, the City intends to implement this portion of the Downtown streetscape as soon as possible. To that end, the City will initiate the preparation of construction drawings, specifications, and partial construction of this segment in 2004 - 2006. I I I I I , I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Glen Oaks Park Stormwater Detention Facilitv: Located immediately south of the Downtown area at the intersection of Court Street and Betty Lane, the Glen Oaks Park Stormwater Detention Facility is a 20-acre flood control and water quality project, which will remove 78 residences from the 100-year floodplain. Approximately one-half of these residences are located within the Downtown area. In addition, 100-year flood levels will be reduced on streets within this area. The project will also include amenities including two multi-purpose ball fields, restrooms, playground, walking trails and associated parking. Memorial Causeway Bridg:e Oandscaping:): In early 2004, when construction is complete on the new Memorial Causeway Bridge, the S.R. 60 designation will be reassigned from Cleveland Street to Court and Chestnut Streets. Extensive landscaping will be located along Court Street up to the waterfront and will continue on the west end of the bridge along the causeway to the beach. The landscaping will be coordinated with existing landscaping along the sides of and within islands on Court Street and the beach roundabout. Cleveland Street and Gulf to Bay Boulevard Repavine: FDOT is currently preparing plans to resurface Cleveland Street between Frederica Avenue and Highland Avenue. The construction date is in Fiscal Year (FY) 2005. Cleveland Street and Memorial Causeway Repaving:: FDOT is currently preparing plans to resurface Cleveland Street between Fort Harrison Avenue and its western terminus. Main Fire Station: Funded by Penny for Pinellas, this project encompasses the renovation and modernization of the main fire station located Downtown. The improved and expanded facility will meet current standards and better provide for the needs of a diverse population. In addition, a review of possible alternate locations farther to the south is being considered in order to provide a consistent standard of coverage for the entire Clearwater community. Funding for the project will be partially reimbursed by Pinellas County since these resources will also serve the unincorporated areas of the Clearwater Fire District. 147 148 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I t I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Osceola Avenue Parkin2 Gara2e (750 -1.000 spaces): Due to the strategic location of this prime redevelopment site "Superblock", a public/private partnership may enable the construction of a major Downtown parking garage to service the block's redevelopment potential, and the redevelopment activities which might occur on the parcels lying west of Osceola Avenue. This parking garage will also provide additional parking for the new Main Library, currently under construction. Reuse of Existin2 Main Fire Station: Should the existing Fire Station facility be relocated to an alternative site, the existing Fire Station may be reused to store a variety of Police Department or Parks and Recreation Department equipment and vehicles. Coachman Park Redevelopment and Gara2e: As part of the future redevelopment of the prime Downtown parcels lying adjacent to Osceola Avenue, the City is planning to construct a park which will act as a significant Downtown waterfront destination. The Coachman Park Amphitheater will be enlarged and relocated on site and Drew Street will terminate at the water providing for a pedestrian promenade along the waters edge and waterfront restaurant which could be leased to a private operator. A unique interactive fountain would be built as a major focal point. Cleveland Street, west of Osceola Avenue, would be closed and converted into a meandering pedestrian pathway between Downtown and the water. As part of this project, the City may construct or enter into a public-private partnership to construct a garage in the less appealing southern portion of this I8-acre site near the start of the new bridge. In addition, the current surface parking would be removed in favor of a large "great lawn." Downtown Marina: The City has awarded a consulting contract for the purpose of analyzing the regulatory process for permitting the future construction of a 150 - 200 slip waterfront marina. The marina would be publicly-owned and operated accommodating both power and sail crafts with a mix of permanent and transient slips. A limited number of tourist related ferries and pleasure crafts would be allowed, however, commercial fishing operations would be prohibited. Pinellas Trail and East Avenue Widenin2: The portion of the Fred E. Marquis Pinellas Trail. along East Avenue constitutes the last remaining unimproved segment of the trail. The project provides for the addition of a multi-use trail facility and roadway improvements for approximately 0.7 miles within the East Avenue right-of-way between Drew Street and Druid Road. This includes the replacement of the southbound lane of East Avenue and the sidewalk on the west side of East Avenue with a landscaped, asphalt surface consistent with the Pinellas Trail standards in 2006/2007. Between Turner and Drew Streets the southbound traffic lane of East Avenue and the sidewalk on the west side of East Avenue will be removed. The Pinellas Trail will be reconstructed in the center of this area with landscaping on either side. I I I I I I I I I I I I ., I' I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 New City Hall and associated parkine:: Recently the City Commission has made the decision to make available the City Hall site for redevelopment if it is made part of a larger site in concert with the two adjoining properties owned by the Calvary Baptist Church. Making the City Hall site available for private development would require a referendum. At this time, it is anticipated that a new City Hall would be largely funded from the proceeds of a future sale. Osceola Avenue Streetscape: Due to the array of prime redevelopment parcels along Osceola Avenue (Calvary Baptist Church, City Hall, Harborview, and the Superblock), it is expected that this streetscape segment would be implemented as projects come on line. Cleveland Street and Gulf to Bav Boulevard Streetscape: This segment of Cleveland Street from Myrtle Avenue east to Gulf to Bay Boulevard will be improved in future years as new developments are implemented. Commercial Streets "A" and "B": These constitute secondary local streets, which will be improved subsequent to new infill redevelopment projects built adjacent to them. Court/Chestnut Streets Beach Corridors Streetscape: With the opening of the Memorial Causeway Bridge, these east-west major arterials will become the. primary route to and from the beaches. It is anticipated that, as new infill projects are developed on the parcels adjacent to these streets, the City and potential developers of these properties would participate in the implementation of a new streetscape. Beach to Bluff Guidewav: An elevated, light rail system is proposed to run along the Memorial Bridge (currently under construction and scheduled for completion in mid-2003) and Causeway between the Bluff on the western edge of Downtown and the Marina area on the Beach. New PSTA Multi-modal transportation center: The redevelopment of the existing PSTA site may include a new PSTA transfer station, public parking for the Downtown and a possible light rail station. 149 150 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 REDEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES The City of Clearwater and Community Redevelopment Agency offer numerous incentives to businesses located, or interested in locating, in the Downtown.

TAX INCREMENT REVENUE PROJECTIONS Introduction Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes, authorizes the County to approve the use of tax increment revenues for community redevelopment. According to the statute, the assessed valuation of the parcels noted on a certified tax roll within the CRA is "frozen" as of a specified date; after this base year, all future increase in tax revenues may be used by the CRA for approved redevelopment projects. These revenues may be used to purchase property, improve property, or used as security for bonds. In the case of the City of Clearwater's recently approved expanded CRA, the County must first approve the CRA's Redevelopment Plan, and upon adoption of this Plan by the City and County, a request can be made to the County by the CRA for the creation of a Redevelopment Trust Fund. 163 164 I I I I I I Ii I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Prior to establishing a Redevelopment Trust Fund, the CRA must (according to Florida State Statute 163.386) submit a list of each parcel, by parcell.D. number that lies within the CRA district to the Pinellas County Appraiser's office. The Appraiser's office will certify the list and prepare to code each parcel for the base year to be established when a trust fund is approved. Historical Overview The City of Clearwater's CRA was established in 1981, with the taxable property value totaling $84,658,490 frozen in 1982. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues commenced in 1983 with approximately $56,000. The CRA increment increased quite rapidly through 1989 with revenue at approximately $801,000. The tax increment peaked during the period 1989 through 1991 and fell quite dramatically through to 1998 with revenue down to $251,000. Since 1999, the increment has continued to rise. Most recently, tax increment in 2003 rose to $840,549. Overall, the tax increment has seen an average yearly increase of 19 percent over the last 20 years. Between its peak in 1989 and its low in 1998, the tax roll lost roughly $54 million in value. This period of decline may be explained by the fact that multiple buildings within the CRA were taken off the tax roll, including the original Mass Brothers Department Store (now the Harborview Center), the Fortune Federal Savings and Loan Building purchased by Pinellas County, and the Oaks of Clearwater Retirement Center and Nursing Facility. These transactions alone accounted for over $22 million dollars of valuation. Additionally, in 1993, many Church of Scientology properties totaling roughly $24 million were taken off the tax roll. Overall, throughout the last 20 years, the tax roll experienced an average annual increase of 3 .21 percent. The benefits of having TIF in place during these years cannot be overlooked, as it allowed the CRA to spend the ensuing years stabilizing the Downtown area in preparation for a major redevelopment program which is now underway. Several important projects undertaken include the land acquisitions for the Park Street Garage and the City's Municipal Services Building, Cleveland Street and Coachman Park beautification improvements, and various fac;ade improvement grants. Redevelopment Objectives On a very conservative basis, the original and expanded CRA district is projected to increase in value substantially over the next 20 to 30 years. This is driven primarily by the accelerating demand for new urban housing within the Downtown and adjacent beaches, and the strategic economic development goals and objectives of the City Commission. The Commission envisions a "destination" Downtown to be enjoyed by both residents in the region and tourists to our beaches. I I I I I I I I , I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 This redevelopment strategy was implemented by the City in 2002, and details the investment opportunities now available on several key redevelopment parcels and a large array of prime infill parcels. ,Several potential projects are described below: . Calvary Baptist Church "Bluff' Parcels on Osceola Avenue-Accounts for 137,510 square feet or 3.16 acres, this parcel is designated in the Downtown Core District for a FAR of 4.0, which would generate up to 550,040 square feet of redevelopment. Additional square footage may be available through the Public Amenities Incentive Pool. . City Hall on Osceola A venue--Contains approximately 130,000 square feet or 2.98 acres, this parcel currently houses City Hall, but the Commission has indicated that it would be made available for redevelopment if it were a key component of a quality redevelopment proposal with the adjacent parcels. This parcel could be developed at a FAR of 4.0, which could be developed with up to 520,000 square feet. Additional square footage may be available through the Public Amenities Incentive Pool. Sale of the City Hall site will require approval of a referendum by Clearwater voters. . Lee Arnold Parcel at Drew StreetIFort Harrison and Osceola Avenues- An announced redevelopment site containing 70,131 square feet or 1.61 acres. According to published reports, the developer envisions a high-rise condominium, a boutique hotel and ground floor retail uses. . AmSouth Block between Osceola Avenue, Fort Harrison Avenue, Cleveland Street and Drew Street or "Superblock" Parcel-Contains one large parcel, along with a few smaller properties. In total, the greater parcel contains approximately 210,000 square feet or 4.82 acres. . Harborview Parcel at Cleveland Street and Osceola Avenue-This City- owned 113,400 square foot or 2.6-acre parcel, currently houses a 54,000 square foot Stein Mart Department Store, the City's civic and conference center space, the Pickles Plus Restaurant along with an adjoining small parking lot. It is envisioned that some time in the future, Stein Mart would be relocated to another Downtown site, and the structure demolished for redevelopment as a major mixed-use development with a combination of retail, entertainment, hotel, and conference destination space. The Commission has interest in redeveloping the parcel if a quality developer can be identified who would meet the stringent requirements for redevelopment on this critical parcel. Sale of the Harborview site will require approval of a referendum by Clearwater voters. 165 166 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 . Station Square Parking Lot Infill Parcel on Cleveland Street-Currently used as a City surface parking lot, this prime redevelopment parcel is owned by the CRA and has been offered to the public for redevelopment. The parcel contains 35,969 square feet or 0.83 acres, and is envisioned as a site for a garage structure (including public parking), office use and residential units. . Town Lake Area between Myrtle and Missouri Avenues-This Downtown area, approximately 159 acres, surrounds the new urban Town Lake that has recently been completed by the City. The initial private redevelopment project in the area under construction is the 100-unit Mediterranean Village in the Park townhouse project. This area has been identified by developers as a prime location for future infill townhouse and apartment projects due to its proximity to the beaches, regional employment centers, and the fact that a housing product can still be developed at a $150,000 to $300,000 price range, which accommodates the needs of many young professionals, young families and empty nesters. It is also envisioned that the Town Lake Business Park District might attract additional professional office users to expand the campus office setting now in place at the CGI office complex. . East Gateway-Between Missouri and Highland Avenues and lying within the recently expanded CRA district are multiple infill parcels that over time will become attractive for redevelopment. Tax Increment Projections Based on this overview, it is evident that the CRA has the potential for developing several million square feet of development over the next two decades, including the attraction of up to 1 ,000 new urban housing units which will attract a substantial amount of new office use, retail and entertainment establishments. If all of these projects are realized, the increase in the tax roll could be upwards of $390 million. However, while our opportunities are outstanding, it is the intent of the CRA to proceed forward cautiously with our TIF projections. The TIF projections are calculated separately for the original CRA and the expanded CRA because the base years for the property values are different. Tax Increment Proiections for the Original CRA District The tax increment projections for the original CRA district are based on a yearly variable percentage increase of the tax roll valuation over a 30-year period. Increases in annual percentages reflect estimates of when major projects, described above, come on line. For purposes of these projections, we assumed that the City and county millage rates remain constant. The base year for calculating the increment is 1982. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 An estimate from 2004 through 2033 projects that property values will rise and that new projects will come on line resulting in $195 million in property value added to the tax roll. This corresponds to a cumulative tax increment of over $64 million over 30 years. Again, millage increases, additional new development, and increases in assessed property values will result in greater returns. A summary table of the tax increment projections follows. Tax Increment for the Exoanded CRA District Similar to the original CRA district, the expanded CRA district TIP estimate is based on a yearly variable percentage increase of the tax roll valuation over a 30-year period. Given that this area is predominantly residential, it is not expected that the values in the area will rise significantly. In fact, we estimated an annual average increase of 1.42 percent. Property values are expected to rise and new projects will come on line resulting in a $37.9 million in property value added to the tax roll. This corresponds to a cumulative tax increment of over $7 million over 30 years. A summary table of the tax increment projections follows (pages 169-170). 167 Draft Downtown Plan June 6, 2003 Table 10 Tax Increment Financing Projections Original Community Redevelopment Area 30 Year Projection from 2003-2033 Tax Roll Valuation $153,278,680 $157,877,040 $163,402,737 $169,938,846 $177,586,094 $186,465,399 $196,720,996 $208,524,256 $218,950,469 $227,708,487 $234,539,742 $239,230,537 $244,015,148 $248,895,450 $253,873,359 $258,950,827 $264,129,843 $269,412,440 $274,800,689 $280,296,703 $285,902,637 $291,620,689 $297,453,103 $303,402,165 $309,470,209 $315,659,613 $321,972,805 $328,412,261 $334,980,506 $341,680,116 $348,513,719 Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 Cumulative Total Addition in Tax Roll Value since 2003 Average Yearly Increase in Value Assumptions 1.

In addition, field surveys were conducted to re-evaluate specific uses during January 2003. Field data collection trips included driving and walking surveys. Information was documented onto field maps and then compared with existing information from the Pinellas County Property Appraisers Office and City of Clearwater permitting records. If a use was not apparent from the outside observation, staff contacted the property or business owner or the Pinellas County Property Appraiser Office to acquire the use. Once the specific uses and the number of residential units was determined, staff developed generalized land use categories for the land uses. In addition to land uses, field notes were taken in order to document the conditions of the buildings, yards and infrastructure. The following assumptions were made in order to properly present certain uses within the plan area. . Buildings that were vacant at the time field surveys were conducted are categorized as the use that occupied that building prior to becoming vacant. . All private parking lots located on separate parcels that are accessory to the main use are categorized as that main use. . All parcels that did not have any vertical structures or parking lots located on them at the time field surveys were conducted are categorized as vacant. . Parcels only containing Stevenson's Creek are categorized as Utility/Infrastructure. . Parcels containing a portion of Stevenson's Creek as a secondary use are categorized as the main use located on that parcel. The area for the following parcels located in the Old Bay District has been excluded to reflect the future land use and zoning boundaries: . 2 Pinellas Trail parcels totaling 3.09 acres; and . CSX rights-of-way totaling 1.70 acres. Use Classifications The following table describes the assumptions made in order to re-categorize the specific uses into the generalized categories listed above. 177 Two- famil Multi-famil Office Retail Vehicle Services Ovemi t Accommodations Industrial Utilit Infrastructure Parkin Governmental Facilities Institutional Recreation Vacant General Descri tion A buildin containing one residential unit.

Data compared includes the following: . Population . Population by Race; . Population by Gender; . Population by Age; . Average Age; . Median Age; . Educational Attainment; . Households; . Average Household Size; . Household Income; . Average Household Income; . Median Household Income; . Housing Units; . Median Value Owner-Occupied Units; and . Housing Units By Year Built Because the character district lines were not positioned along Census Block Group boundaries, . an adaptive demographic application that allows for polygon input was utilized. Each district was drawn into a mapping program. The program, Claritas Site Reports, then extracts Census data for the area. The program bases the estimates for the polygons on Census Block Group level data. The demographic profiles follows on pages 181 - 183. 179 UJ (I) .t: to ~~-g ., '- ~ 0.1- 0 tOUJm :E~o. >< UJ ~ --... .- C 0 "C(I)~ CUe!) (l)o~ a. 0 0 ' 0.0 0 <(Nm ~ l~~~_~t ft)rf~~2Ji.

Vacant TOTALS 199 APPENDIX 7 BUILD-OUT SCENARIOS To compare the existing development potential of the Downtown to the proposed development potential in this Plan, the City of Clearwater hired Tampa Bay Engineering to prepare a detailed comparison of them. The methodology and all assumptions were reviewed and approved by the City's Planning Department. This appendix explains the methodology used to prepare the buildout scenarios. The existing development potential is based on several adopted documents that establish the maximum development potential for areas that comprise the expanded Downtown Plan area. The existing potential is based on these specific documents: . For the old Downtown Plan area: 1995 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan . For the four Periphery Areas: Downtown Clearwater Periphery Plan, 2000 Update . For the Eastern CRA Expansion Area: Land Use Plan categories of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan The proposed development potential is based on the density and intensity measures for each Character District as contained in this revised Plan. During the preparation of this Plan, it was determined that most of the CRA Expansion area will not be redesignated with the Central Business District plan category nor will the areas be rezoned to the Downtown zoning district. These parcels will retain their current land use plan categories and zoning districts that are used throughout the City. For the parcels in this expansion area, the maximum development potential is based on the density and intensity measures in their respective land use plan categories. There are five parcels excluded from the Buildout scenarios for two reasons: their current development as a public park or public facility is unlikely to change during the life of this Plan; and, secondly, this plan and previous City actions do not allow the redevelopment of these parcels. The parcels excluded from the build-out scenarios are: . Coachman Park (17.8 acres in the Downtown Core District) . New Main Library site (2.1 acres in the Downtown Core District) . Station Square Park (0.42 acres in the Downtown Core District) . Seminole Street Launching Facility (5.74 acres in the Old Bay District) . Town Lake (4.93 in the Town Lake Residential District) The three parcels excluded from the Downtown Core District total 20.32 acres; the sizes of the other two parcels are shown above. All other parcels within the Downtown Plan area are included in the buildout scenarios since the purpose is to estimate the maximum development potential during the life of the Plan. 200 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I A ratio of expected development was applied to both the existing and proposed buildout scenarios. The ratios reflect the goals, objectives and policies governing development in the current plan and the proposed plan. The land use ratio for each Character District is shown in the table below. Land Use Ratios by Character District District Existing Scenario Proposed Scenario Residential Commercial Residential Commercial Downtown Core 20% 80% 20% 80% Old Bay 60% 40% 60% 40% South Gateway 33% 66% 50% 50% Town Lake 80% 20% 80% 20% Residential Town Lake Business 33% 66% 20% 80% East Gateway 66% 33% 66% 33% The steps in the methodology along with an example of each step is shown below. 1. The total acreage for each Character District was calculated based on the boundaries provided by the Clearwater Planning Department using GIS software. a. EXAMPLE: District A = 50 acres 2. Within each Character District, the size of each plan category was calculated using GIS software. a. EXAMPLE: District A 1. Residential = 25 acres 2. Commercial = 25 acres 3. Parcels developed with major public facilities (parks and library) were noted for exclusion from the acreage of the applicable Character District. a. EXAMPLE: District A 1. Parcell = 5 acres with 25 dwelling units (FLU = RES) 2. Parcel 2 = 5 acres with 50,000 square feet shopping center (FLU =COM) 4. Excluded parcels were subtracted from the appropriate land use plan category acreages. a. EXAMPLE: District A 1. Residential 25 acres - 5 acre (Parcell) = 20 acres 2. Commercial 25 acres - 5 acres (parcel 2) = 20 acres 201 5. The total acreage for each plan category was then multiplied by the mwnmum density/intensity as dictated by the governing plan. a. EXAMPLE: District A 1. Residential 20 acres @ 6 d.u./acre = 120 dwelling units OR 20acres @ 0.25 FAR = 217,800 square feet 2. Commercial 20 acres @ 10 d.u./acre = 200 dwelling units OR 20 acres @ 0.50 FAR = 435,600 square feet 6. The resulting density/intensity, both residential and commercial, for each category were totaled for each character district. b. EXAMPLE: District A 1. Total maximum residential density = 395 dwelling units OR 11. Total commercial density = 757,851 square feet OR lll. Some combination of i and ii 7. A ratio of allowable land use allocations (residential and commercial) was then applied to the resulting total dwelling units and total commercial square footage to determine the overall buildout. The allowable land use mix permitted within the applicable Character District determined these ratios (See Table above for specific land use allocations). 202 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Summary of Maximum Development Potential by Character District Current Development Potential Compared to Proposed Development Potential Existing Plan ProDosed Plan Development Potential Proposed - Existine; District Dwelling Commercial Dwelling Commercial Dwelling Commercial Units Sq.
