~'l_~ I The area zoned MHDR has a mix of
. cJ development forms. Due to the age of many
4' structures, there are numerous single and two-
story structures built at grade. This area is
characterized by historic Old Florida Style
cottages, which bring a certain charm to the area
and provides the basis for the name "Old Florida
District" used in Beach by Design. As indicated
in Table 6 and Map 6, over half of the parcels
(56%) in this area are occupied by buildings
constructed between 1916 and 1939.

COB/Council Workshop Recommendations
Fellow Councilmembers,
At our workshop Monday I promised to distribute the list of recommendations that were identified at the February 27 joint
meeting with the COB. The following is a list of those recommendations/issues developed from: 1) the official minutes
from the meeting, 2) my notes from the meeting, and 3) the partial transcript that I prepared of the end of the meeting
(attached).
1. Guidance given to the CDB by their attorney made them feel that they couldn't challenge the
recommendations of staff.
2. One of the members of the CDB said that we make day-to-day decisions that fly in the face of the
rhetoric of the Comp Plan.
3. Need for more specific standards for approval. Dissatisfaction with ugly results. Very important to have
sketches and designs that illustrate what we want - more like the Downtown Plan does.
4. CDB member observed that there needs to be better understanding of how party status works for the
public.
5. Other issues identified:
a. Conversion from transient to residential
b. Should require a market analysis information for feasibility of development vs flexibility within
the code
c. Beach as a pedestrian environment that makes people feel comfortable
d. Incorporate the open space requirements from the old code
e. Setback measurements should be separate to building vs. pavement
f. Require graphic depictions of how the project fits with adjacent properties
g. Incentives for affordable housing
h. Need to improve the language of advertised notices to more clearly articulate the nature of the
proposed development.
1. If recommendation for denial, should not negotiate conditions at that meeting.
J. Comp infill should have higher standards
k. Eastshore
1. Need urban designer on staff
m. Underlying perception that the results we are getting is not what was intended when the revision
was proposed in 1999

Community Development Board and City Council Workshop February 27,2006
Transcript starting toward the end of the meeting.
Home: Yes I want to share one thing before we close the meeting. And it goes back to
when I came to the City and JB Johnson was on the Commission at that time. In my role
as a Manager one of the things that I try to look at is what forces that influences what we
do. I came out of a Federal System. Which if you think we have rules in local
government, the Federal Government has 20 times those rules. People are going to get
fatigued because ofthe bureaucracy.
But even at the local government level there are core issues or principles that really drive
what you do. One of the things that I have learned is that in 1998 about the Clearwater
community, not Tampa, not St. Petersburg, not Indian Rocks Beach, is that there seems to
be a very high respect for the property owner that at the end of the day the property
owner wins. If you go back and look at our system, the property owner wins in our
system.
And we can just look at Old Florida - the very public process that that Council listened to
that is being approved in Old Florida. Aside from the fact that there are people that
didn't live in Old Florida who participated in the process, it is still pretty much weighted
to the property owner.
So one of the things that I would like everybody to keep in front of them is that we really
do value the rights of property owners. And when it comes to rules, when it comes to
enforcement, when it comes (unintelligible), for the most part the property owner carries
a lot of weight in how our system responds. The push back comes when we try to be
tougher, like being more specific and holding them to a higher standard. The developer
is a property owner and what I have seen since I have been the Manager is that we really
do kind of we want to make sure that we are not unduly restricting the rights of the
property owner.
As long as we hold that as a strong value then we may not always achieve what we want
to achieve from the standpoint of our regulatory role. Because at the end of the day that
the property owner that turns out in mass and comes to the CDB meetings and pounds on
the CDB. It is the group that shows up at City Council Meetings and pounds on the
Council and we are seeing it even in the old Florida as we are trying to sort things out.
The one thing that I am trying to encourage you is to give some thought to that. I think
our ability to be as restrictive as I think I am hearing some of you say is directly
proportional to a willingness to hold the property owner to a higher standard than I think
we are holding them to now. And like the Mayor said, we do have citizens who want to
hold other property owners to a higher standard than they themselves want to be held to.
But I think from the staff perspective, we are trying to see where the balance is. Where
do you balance it? We do hear when we are not happy. We often don't hear when things
are really going well. Because somebody is always complaining. But we live with it. I
would like your reaction. I don't know, JB you were there.

Community Development Board and City Council Workshop February 27,2006
JB Johnson: I think you are right 100%. I know that some of the items that have come
up before this board. I have disagreed with the recommendations. I always take into
consideration of the property owner as # 1. He is the one putting the money up there and
he has the property and therefore we aught to listen to him. I feel the property owner is
the king pin when it comes to approving an agenda item or anything for that matter.
Nick Fritch: I think when those things collide is the Comp Plan and our day-to-day
decisions on the board or staff or whatever. The comp plan has these very noble
community values of how we want to craft the city. Any yet we make day to day
decisions that fly in the face of that rhetoric - land use, ugliness or prettiness of a
building, density. I think that is a big rub for me personally as serving on the board.
I feel very uncomfortable at times and I can even think of a couple of specifics, but I
want to get out of here.
Miliam: That is where we get our butt ugly buildings.
Jonson: Just a reaction, if we are going to take that approach, then why do we have a
land development code, why do we have rules? To me the rules are put together so that
you have highest benefit for the greatest number of people, the greatest number of
property owners in total. It will create an environment that will create this neat place that
will attract business and it won't be like Gulf-to-Bay was years which was incredibly
cluttered and ugly. It goes back to the small property thing that we started talking about.
What happens to the person in the Old Florida that is only 50x80 and it can't be
developed to the 60 or 75 feet high if you are going to have any kind of setback or
stepbacks. I think we should plain say: "No your property won't work." When you
bought that you couldn't have had the expectation that you would be able to do the same
thing that a two acre parcel would. I think this is a crucial discussion and I am glad that
you brought it up. I just think that you can't just weight what the individual property
owner says.
Miliam: I agree with you totally. And the developers are buying these properties with
the limitations and I think they should have done their due diligence at what was the
possibility for a particular piece of property and if they can't do what they want to do
they need to get creative and buy the property next to them or buy the block or whatever.
I think we are holding the burden, the people of Clearwater are, I really do in my opinion.
?Gildersleeve (maybe): I don't think we can overlook the property rights they want in
this country. I think we have to recognize that it costs something to have the kind of
community that I think we want to have. Sometimes that results in a decision that is not
too popular. Long Boat Key didn't happen by accident. They are very rigid, very
focused, and very strict controls that works today. It is a balancing act. But we can't
overlook property rights.

Community Development Board and City Council Workshop February 27,2006
I think this was a very productive conversation today and I want to thank all of you for
your continued service on the board. We know that your agendas are large and it is a
very large time commitment. I appreciate that. So just remember that you don't have to
wait until we have one of these meetings. If there is an issue that seems to be a problem
on an ongoing basis, please pass it on to staff so that they can pass it on to us so that we
can address it immediately rather letting something fester. I think we are done. Have a
good afternoon.
