FLS01-01-03 . . CITY OF CLEARWATER PLANNING DEPARTMENT FLEXIBLE STANDARD - STAFF REPORT BACKGROUND INFORMATION: APPLICANT: Mr. Ted Turner CASE NUMBER: FLS 01-01-03 PROPERTY LOCATION: 613 South Missouri Avenue. REQUEST: Flexible Standard approval to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 16 spaces to 13 spaces and reduce the dimensional landscaping require- ments as part of a Comprehensive Landscaping Program. ZONING: C, Commercial District EXISTING USE: Light manufacturing PROPOSED USE: Furniture store ADJACENT LAND USES: North: South: East: West: Retail sales and service Office Retail sales and service Residential The immediate area is part of a major commercial corridor including retail, office and restaurant uses with residential located to the rear of the site. STAFF ANALYSIS The 0.30-acre site is located on the east side of Missouri A venue, approximately 75 feet south of Turner Street. Missouri A venue functions as a major commercial corridor including an array of retail, office and restaurant uses. The corridor is targeted for redevelopment. Attached and detached residential structures are located to the east behind the nonresidential uses that front on Missouri Avenue. The site was previously used as light manufacturing. The existing building and parking are nonconforming with respect to setbacks. The parking lot design includes perpendicular parking Page 1 " . . spaces that require some backing into the adjoining right-of-way. There is an abandoned pole sign along the north property line and the site contains no parameter landscaping. The proposal includes a change of use from light manufacturing to a second hand furniture store. The change of use requires compliance with the minimum development standards, parking lot design, and landscaping standards. The proposed plan includes 13 parking spaces and the addition of two landscaping islands along the front elevation. Landscaping will include four sabel palms surrounded with indian hawthorne ground cover. No parameter landscaping is proposed due to site constraints. The request is to reduce the number of parking spaces from 16 spaces to 13 spaces. Code requires 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. This standard may be reduced to 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area as part of a Flexible Standard application subject to specific criteria. The proposed use, a furniture store, is a less intensive retail use than other retail uses according to the International Traffic Engineer Manual (ITE); therefore, the request seems reasonable. Additionally, over 1,000 square feet of the building's interior is reserved for storage and will not produce a demand for parking. The existing site prevents reasonable parameter landscaping given the building location and parking configuration. The site has a hardship and cannot efficiently allow for landscaping. The use is one of the least intensive uses permitted in the district. FLEXIBLE STANDARD CRITERIA FOR RETAIL SALES AND SERVICE USES IN THE C. COMMERCIAL DISTRICT: 1. Lot size and width: The parcel proposed for development was an existing lot of less than 10,000 square feet and was not in common ownership with any contiguous property on May 1, 1998. The parcel is 12,975 square feet. The parcel exceeds the mInImUm lot area and IS consistent with this criterion. 2. Height: a. The increased height results in an improved site plan, landscaping areas in excess of the minimum required or improved design and appearance: There is no additional building height as part of this proposal. This criterion is not applicable to this proposal. b. The increased height will not reduce the vertical component of the view from any contiguous residential property, There is no additional building height as part of this proposal. This criterion is not applicable to this proposal. Page 2 I' . . 3. Side and rear setback a. The reduction in side and rear setback does not prevent access to the rear of any building by emergency vehicles: The property is legally nonconforming with respect to setbacks and the proposal does not include an additional reduction in setbacks. The criterion is not applicable to this proposal. b. The reduction in side and rear setbacks results in an improved site plan, more efficient parking or improved design and appearance: The property is legally nonconforming with respect to setbacks and the proposal does not include an additional reduction in setbacks. The criterion is not applicable to this proposal. c. The reduction in side and rear setbacks does not reduce the amount of landscaped area otherwise required: The property is legally nonconforming with respect to setbacks and the proposal does not include an additional reduction in setbacks. The criterion is not applicable to this proposal. 4. Off-street parking: The physical characteristics of a proposed building are such that the likely uses of the property will require fewer parking spaces per floor area than otherwise required or that the use of significant portions of the building will be used for storage or other non-parking demand-generating purposes. The building will physically function as a used furniture store. The International Traffic Engineers (ITE) Manual suggests a parking need of 1.3 parking spaces per 1,000 square- feet of building. This standard is far less than the provisions of Code for other retail uses. Second, over 1,000 square feet of the building's interior will be used for storage and excluded from the retail area. The proposal is consistent with this criterion. GENERAL APPLICABILITY: Conditions which are imposed by the Community Development Coordinator and the Community Development Board pursuant to a Level One or a Level Two Approval shall ensure that: 1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density, and character of adjacent properties in which it is located. The site is an existing building with parking. There is no additional development proposed at this site. The use is consistent with other retail sales and service establishments along Missouri A venue. Page 3 . . 2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof. Missouri Avenue is a major commercial corridor and adjacent properties to the north and south are consistent with this trend. The proposed use is in keeping with the appropriate character of Missouri A venue. 3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. There are no conditions that are expected to adversely affect the health or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood. 4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. The proposed furniture store use is expected to have a low parking need and is not expected to produce a level of service above other retail sales and service establishments. Customer parking is provided to the front of the building to allow easy access to the store while, employee parking is provided to the rear. 5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. Missouri Avenue is a major commercial corridor with an array of retail sales and service land uses. This proposed furniture store is consistent with the existing community character. 6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties. The building is a legally nonconforming structure. There are limited physical improvements proposed at this time. The use, by nature, is low intensive and is not expected to produce adverse effects such as traffic congestion, noise and etc. The proposed use is consistent with this criterion. Page 4 .. . . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes that the furniture store complies with the standards of the Community Development Code and the Flexible Standard criteria for retail sales and service uses. Staff recommends APPROVAL of the request by Mr. Ted Turner to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 16 spaces to 13 spaces and to reduce the dimensional landscaping requirements as part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program, at 613 South Missouri Avenue subject to the following conditions: 1. That the site be improved with landscape plantings as indicated on the site and landscaping plans dated February 23,2001; 2. That the site be resurfaced and restriped, in accord with Code requirements; 3. That the future use of the site be limited to a use of the same or less intensity, as approved by staff; 4. That the existing sign base/concrete island be removed from the northwest comer of the site; and 5. hat sign ge be limited to one attached sign to comply with Code.

The use of landscape plans, sections/elevations, renderings and perspectives may necessary as supplementary information in addition to the information provided on this worksheet: 1. Architectural Theme. a. The landscaping in a Comprehensive Landscape Program shall be designed as a part of the architectural theme of the principal buildings proposed or developed on the parcel proposed for the development. OR b. The design, character, location and/or materials of the landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program shall be demonstrably more attractive than landscaping otherwise permitted on the parcel proposed for development under the minimum landscape standards. The dimensions of the site prevent a perimeter buffer that complies with code. The Comprehensive Landscape Pro~ram includes an attractlve mix of sabal palms, Indian hawthorn and hibiscus on landscaped islands in front of the store. Live Oak and _.~'" -"".,~"=.,:,~~---;!

Lighting. Any lighting proposed as a part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program is automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned off when the business is closed. No lighting is proposed as part of the Comprehensive Landscape Program. 3. Community Character. The landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program will enhance the community character of the City of Clearwater. t10st properties on Missouri Avenue have very little or no landscaping at all. The introduction of landscaping islands along the southern and northern property lines attractively landscaped with shrubs and trees will enhance the character of the Missouri Avenue corridor. 4. Property Values. The landscape treatment proposed in the Comprehensive Landscape Program will have a beneficial impact on the value of the property in the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.

On February 15, 2001, the Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed your application for Flexible Standard development to reduce the number of required parking spaces from 16 spaces to 13 spaces and reduce the dimensional landscaping requirements, as part of a Comprehensive Landscape Program. The proposal includes the use of the site as a used furniture store (Jessica's Place) which is considered retail sales and service under the provisions of the Community Development Code. The DRC recommended approval of the application with the following five conditions: 1. That the site be improved with landscape plantings as indicated on the site and landscaping plans dated February 23,2001; 2. That the site be resurfaced and restriped, in accord with Code requirements; 3. That the future use of the site be limited to a use of the same or less intensity, as approved by staff; 4. That the existing sign base/concrete island be removed from the northwest comer ofthe site; and 5. That signage be limited to one attached sign to comply with Code. I concur with the findings of the Development Review Committee and, through this letter, approve your application for Flexible Standard development subject to the above five conditions. Pursuant to Section 4-303, an application for building permit shall be made within one (1) year of the date of this Development Order (May 3, 2002). All required certificates of BRlAN J.

Missouri Avenue Dear Ryan: Enclosed are five (5) copies of the Site Plan for Jessica's Place. We have made revisions as per the direction we received from City staff from the DRC meeting held on February 15, 2001. Please note that we have made the following revisions: 1. The two (2) parking spaces in the north central area of the site have been routed 900 for eaSIer access. 2. The proposed landscape area at the northwest comer of the site has been eliminated, as has the existing sign in this location in order to facilitate vehicular traffic along the north side of the building. 3. A note has been added indicating that a sign will be added to the face of the building in accordance with City Code. 4. A note has been added indicating that the asphalt will either be overlaid or sealed in order to improve its appearance prior to the installation of the striping as shown on the Site Plan. It is my understanding that the owner has agreed to paint a portion of the building in order improve its appearance. I have assumed that you would make that a condition of Site Plan approval. Lastly, while I recognize the staffs desire to angle the parking proposed at the front of the building in order to have some additional landscaping installed along Missouri Avenue, we believe this would put our client in an untenable position. This would not only require obtaining a permit from the Florida Department of Transportation which could cost as much as $6,000 and take as much as 90-180 days, but it would also eliminate several parking spaces which would then require this project to come before the 2639 McCORMICK DRIVE.

I appreciate the fact that you pointed out that a used furniture store per ITE code requires fewer parking spaces than we proposed. However, the use of this building as a used furniture establishment may only be temporary. Reducing the parking spaces would have a negative effect on our client's ability to find a future tenant that did not require the standard amount of parking spaces that the site can accommodate. In our opinion, this will place a hardship on the property owner and, in our opinion, should not be required. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss this matter further. Sincerely, Edward Mazur, Jr., P .E.

Bauman, Esquire 1008 Drew Street Clearwater, FI 33755 Re: Mr. and Mrs. Pedro Ortiz Dear Mr. Bauman Please be advised that I represent Mr. Turner, the POA for Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz's landlord, Reba Turner. Mr. Turner has referred your letter dated December 28,2000, to my attention. As you are aware, the City of Clearwater amended its ordinances to require additional parking spaces. To insure that this did not disrupt your client's business, Mr. Turner negotiated a settlement with the City of Clearwater. The City of Clearwater and your landlord are currently involved in negotiations to insure that adequate parking is available at the leased premises. The City of Clearwater has assured Mr. Turner that no enforcement proceeding will be undertaken as long as the parties work in good faith to remedy the non-compliance as to both parking and landscaping requirements. Mr. Turner is doing this. Therefore, your clients can continue to do business at the leased premises. To assist in settling this matter with the City of Clearwater, Mr. Turner hired Florida Design Consultants. I have been informed by a representative of Florida Design Consultants that we need a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz as to the number of parking spaces that they would need on a typical day. This will assist us in speeding up the process so that we can obtain the variance that is needed for the parking and landscaping requirements at the leased premises.

Turner c/o Frank George Century 21-Condon-Meek, Inc. 1211 Court Street Clearwater, FL 33756-5897 Re: My clients: Mr. and Mrs. Pedro Ortiz/Eviction Notice Dear Mr. Turner: This law office represents Mr. and Mrs. Pedro Ortiz, d/b/a Jessica's Place, who entered into a lease with you on or about July 10, 2000, on property located at 613 South Missouri Avenue. Pursuant to the Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Deliver Possession received by them on December 28, 2000, please be advised that my clients dispute and reject the contention that monies are, in fact, due and owing. At the time the lease was entered into, my clients were informed by your agent, Mr. Frank George, of Condon-Meek, Inc., that the leased property was, in fact, properly zoned for their use. Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz would not have entered into this lease but for this representation by your agent. In fact, the premises are not zoned properly and, therefore, my clients are unable to get an occupational license to legally operate the business. According to the City of Clearwater, the leased premises operating as a retail sales and service business, needs 4 to 5 parking spaces per 1000 of square footage. According to the City's charts and maps, there is approximately 3,000 square feet on the leased property, and, therefore, 12 to 15 parking spaces are needed. According to the City, parking is not permitted in front of the premises: therefore, my clients find themselves unable to get an occupational licenses because the premises do not meet the City's requirements for adequate parking. 1008 Drew Street · Clearwater, FL 33755 · (727) 446-5553 · FAX (727) 446-5732 . . Mr. Teddy D. Turner December 28, 2000 Page 2 It would appear that you, as the owner, must rectify this situation before my client can continue in business. Because of the fact that this may take many months, this is not a practical solution. Therefore, on behalf of my clients, I would propose the following: 1. The deposit of $2,400 that is currently with you be applied to the rent for the time period of December 10, 2000, through January 10, 2001 ; 2. The parties enter into a written termination of the lease; and 3. The monies paid toward rent for the last month of the lease, which amounts to approximately $1,000, be returned to Mr. and Mr. Ortiz for purposes of relocating. They will of course have to relocate to other premises and will incur additional costs and storage in that regard. All of this is necessitated because of the misrepresentation by your agent that the premises were suitably zoned. Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz will contest any eviction proceedings and have, in fact, deposited in an escrow account, rents as have been demanded. However, as a practical solution, I offer the above. I will await your earliest reply. I am by copy sending this letter to Attorney E. D. Armstrong III, not knowing for sure that he continues to represent the interests of the landlord.

The "Retail Sales" use is permitted within zoning district provided all dimensional criteria are met. As of January 21, 1999, the City adopted the Community Development Code. These changes may have created non-conformities, if so they are legal non-conformities and may continue. In the event a structure in which a non-conforming use is located is destroyed or damaged to the extent of less than 50 percent of the assessed value of such structure, the non-conforming use may be re-established if a complete and legally sufficient application for all required permits to repair or restore is submitted within six months of the date of the damage.

Missouri Avenue Change of Use Dear Ms. Fierce: We have completed the necessary applications, site plan and survey work for the upgrade of the above referenced property. Enclosed are materials for a Flexible Standard Development review/approval. Please find enclosed: 1. Application for Site Plan Approval (15 copies) 2. Copy of Deed (15 copies) 3. Comprehensive Landscape Program Information (15 copies) 4. Preliminary Site Plan (15 copies, 24" x 36") 5. Landscape Plan (15 copies, 24" x 36") 6. Survey (15 copies, 24" x 36") 7. Application Fee of $475.00 As you know, this site presently contains a used furniture store called Jessica's Place. The 0.30 acre site is 100% impervious, contains no landscaping, contains six (6) substandard parking spaces, and does not meet any setback requirements for retail sales and services for the Commercial (C) District. As you noted in our meeting of January 8, 2001, the change in use requires upgrading the site to comply with current parking and landscaping requirements as much as possible. The upgrades are discussed below: Parking The flexible standard development requires4 spaces/IOOO s.f. Presently the site contains only six (6) substandard parking spaces whereas 13 would be required. Although my personal observations and information from the business owner confirm a maximum occupancy of only four (4) spaces at any time, thg,~~i~i~~rr~~ei~lfl,~;,shows a total of 13 spaces (including one handicap space) which meets code rooW~~,~31tg;, J \,J LLJ II ' \ \ \,1\, I\'JT-=, ,. l \Uu JAN 2 5 Z001_J \8 Y~=;-==-.====--=-- --'-- L 2639 McCORMICK DRIVE. CLEARWATER, FLORIDA 33759 __u __ Tel: (727) 724-8422 · Fax: (727) 724-8606 . . Ms. Lisa Fierce January 24,2001 Page 2 Landscaping Presently the site has no landscaping, is 100% impervious and the paved parking area and/or building extend to the property lines. Section 3-1202 of the Community Development Code would typically required a 5 foot landscape buffer from neighboring commercial uses and a 15 foot perimeter buffer from the Missouri Avenue right-of-way. In this case it is impossible to comply with code without jeopardizing vehicle movements into the site and the front parking spaces. The Preliminary Site Plan shows landscaping islands along the front and rear comers of the site, such that the impervious surface will be reduced to 95% to comply with code. We believe the extend and location ofthe landscaping will enhance the appearance of the property, particularly from Missouri Avenue. fugrr The site presently contains a sign structure at the northwest comer that is setback only 2 feet from the west property line. The Preliminary Site Plan calls for the removal of this sign and installation of a conforming sign with a 10 foot setback. This setback complies with sign setback requirements. In summary, we believe the aforementioned site upgrades will enhance the appearance and function of the site. Please notify me of the upcoming DRC meeting or if you have any questions. s~~ Robert C. perg~ Vice President Transportation & Planning :dc L:\2001 Letters\fierce.doc cc: Ted Turner E.D.
