Community Development Code
It is the purpose of this Community Development Code to create
value for the citizens of the City of Clearwater by:
1. Allowing property owners to enhance the value of their property
through innovative and creative development;
2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a
negative impact on the value of surrounding properties and
wherever practicable promoting development and
redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding
properties; and,
3. Strengthening the City's economy and increasing its tax base
as a whole.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _..._ - I
Conclusions:
.
I
Consistent - The project is consistent with the Downtown Development
Plan, the Land Development Code, & Periphery Plan.
Compatible -The project replaces existing commercial/industrial marina
uses and casino boat operations with residential use that
provides landscaping, view corridors, orientations and other
design features to ease transition to the north. No negative
impacts upon adjoining property values.
Concurrent - City's transportation network fully capable of
accommodating projected traffic. Other City services
are sufficient to accommodate needs of the project.
Catalytic - The project will serve to bring City residents back to the
downtown core and provide a much needed "jump start" to
downtown redevelopment efforts in accordance with City
plans, without expenditures of public tax dollars.
-------------------
Final Thought:
. "Ironically, the key to success in the infill development and community
redevelopment environment is the presence of significant residential
units. When people live somewhere they take ownership of their
environs and ... only when people live in infill and redevelopment
projects will the character of change be acceptable to neighbors and
successful. In this context, density is good not bad, a perspective which
must be overcome to remediate 50 years of sprawl. That does not
mean that everyone has to live in a quasi-urban housing unit, but to say
that everyone's quality of life would be enhanced if those who wished to
live in the kind of housing we have in and immediately adjacent to
downtown.... - single family, townhouse, mid-rise, high rise, store over
residences- we would have vibrant downtowns and an improved quality
of life for all. But residents will come only if we have great places
as addresses and places of urban vitality which cater to all social
and economic segments of the community -diversity is a critical
ingredient of ecological integrity and of a vibrant, liveable city."

EDITORIAL
OPINION
Condo project would clash with rest of neighborhood
We have one question for Clearwater
Community Development Board members as
they prepare to vote Tuesday on a proposed
high-rise condominium project in the Old
Clearwater Bay neighborhood north of
downtown:
If a developer bought the lot next door to
your home and built a 12-story building on it,
would you consider the building reasonable
and compatible with your home and
neighborhood?
A local development group wants to build
134 condominiums in two harborfront towers
up to 138 feet tall, plus four townhomes in a
separate building, plus a 120-slip marina on a
u-shaped property now occupied by
Clearwater Bay Marina at 900 N Osceola Ave,
The property is adjacent to the public
Seminole boat ramps and across Osceola
Avenue from N orth Ward Elementary School.
The project isn't just tall, it is massive, with
structures covering nearly all of the marina
property, It is so tightly packed with buildings
that the condo swimming pool will perch on.a
parking deck and tennis courts will be built on
a lot across the street.
The condominiums will go for $400,000 to
$1-million. Every unit will have a balcony
overlooking Clearwater Harbor. The view will
be spectacular.
But not for Fred Allen or Vicki and Steve
Morgan. Their normal-sized, single-family
homes are immediately south and north of
Clearwater Bay Marina. When they stand in
their yards and look up, they will be dwarfed
by the condominium towers.
The Morgans, who have lived in their
renovated 83-year-old home for 15 years, are
fighting the proposal. The Old Clearwater Bay
Neighborhood Association doesn't oppose
redevelopment in principle, doesn't even
object to multistory buildings on the
waterfront, but it argues that this project is
much too tall and too massive for the
neighborhood of primarily one- and two-story
homes. They also fear that if the project is
approved Tuesday by the Community
Development Board, a precedent will be set
and all of the waterfront north of Drew Street
will be lined by condominiums at least as tall.
City of Clearwater
Two condominium towers, townhomes and a marina are proposed for the Clearwater Bay Marina
site. Neighbors fear it will change the character of their neighborhood.
The city government's perspective is
different. During the 1990s the city identified
the Old Clearwater Bay neighborhood, one of
the oldest in the city, as a "character district"
but also ripe for redevelopment. The
neighborhood has many fine homes lovingly
tended by their owners, but others, especially
on the south end close to downtown, are
rundown. The city government saw great
potential in those properties, even calling the
waterfront there Clearwater's next "Gold
Coast." Officials envisioned the area
redeveloped with condominiums to attract
well-to-do residents who could support the
shops, restaurants and theaters the city
dreams of luring to the central business
district.
New codes and flexible development
standards were approved by the city to attract
developers and make.it easier for them to
build projects in and around downtown,
Higher densities and taller buildings were
allowed.
On its face, there is nothing wrong with
that approach. Downtown Clearwater and
areas immediately north and south do need to
be redeveloped in coming years, and
incentives will be required to convince
developers to risk their capital on areas in
decline.
But while the new rules gave more
flexibility to developers, they also provided
protections for residents. Those protections
were built around the assumption that
professional city planners would review every
projectfor compliance with the city's codes
and principles and would protect residents
from unreasonable and incompatible
development.
In that respect, the Clearwater city staff
has failed the residents of Old Clearwater Bay.
The staff inexplicably has recommended that
the Community Development Board approve
the Clearwater Bay Marina project, which is
out of scale and out of character with the
adjacent neighborhood.
.1 '
~
The staff report actually attempts to justify
plunking down Mediterranean-style
condominium towers in a low-rise historic
neighborhood, right next door to single-family
homes. The report would inspire guffaws if its
cheerleading for this project weren't so
troubling,
Furthermore, the staff supports the project
knowing that it will set a precedent.
City Manager Bill Home, who has no
background in planning and development, has
been a steadfast supporter, even when the
neighborhood objected and some city
commissioners (who will not vote on this
project) said they didn't like it.
Why did the city of Clearwater create a
professional planning staff if it was going to
sign off on projects that are clearly violative of
planning principles and destructive of
neighborhoods? Why does Home, who has
worked hard to establish a relationship with
neighborhoods and hear their concerns, turn a
deaf ear to this one?
Home says the project will increase the tax
base and help further downtown
redevelopment by bringing in people with the
discretionary income to support shops and
restaurants.
Our translation: Development near
downtown is good at any cost.
Clearwater needs public support for
redevelopment. It will not get it this way. Even
in neighborhoods it wants redeveloped, its
rules should provide transition zones, stepped
heights, sufficient buffering and sincere study
of compatibility.
Tuesday's decision should not be a hard
one for the Community Development Board,
The Old Clearwater Bay area is a
neighborhood; it is not a resort area, tourist
destination or downtown business district.
The Clearwater Bay Marina proposal is not in
harmony with the scale and character of
adjacent properties and it is not sufficiently
buffered from its neighbors. Approving it
would represent a capitulation to developers
and an abandonment of planning principles
and the city's duty to residents.

LETTERS
OPINION
Condo plans were reviewed and scaled down
Re: Condo project would clash with rest of
neighborhood, editorial, June 15.
I appreciate your comments regarding the
proposed Clearwater Bay Marina project, but
disagree with your assumptions and conclusion.
First of all, the city Planning Department's
recommendation on any development application, but
especially those in key redevelopment areas, requires
that specific criteria in the Land Development
Regulations are reviewed and applied on a
case-by-case basis. In addition, there is a special
redevelopment plan for the marina area that must be
evaluated.
Occasionally, the conclusions and
recommendations that are reached by the
professional staff differ significantly from those
shared by interests affected by the proposal. This is
one of those occurrences.
The area north of downtown along the N Fort
Harrison corridor between Clearwater Bay and the
Pinellas Trail has been- a blighted area for more than a
decade. The City Commission recognized this in 1993
when it changed the comprehensive plan to make this
area Central Business District. As we all know, this is
the most intensive land use in the city.
At that time and now, the northern edge of this
area is single family. The change to Central Business
District was made for the specific reason of creating
incentives for redevelopment of this area. In every city
and in many other areas in Clearwater, there are
boundaries between intensive commercial zoning and
single-family zoning. For example, the back side of
the Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and State Road 60 corridor
is largely single-family residential.
In the case of this specific project, you have stated
that basic planning principles have been ignored and
that the approval of the project would set a precedent
for similar development south of the proposed project.
That is not accurate, In fact, the City Commission has
reaffirmed the 1993 decision and added additional
incentives to encourage redevelopment. Included in
these incentives were both height and density
incentives.
In response to those incentives, at least three
other projects in the vicinity have been reviewed and
supported by the Planning Department staff and have
been approved by the Community Development
Board. Two of these projects included heights of 150
feet. One was approved at 81 feet.
Many times land use transitions are in the eye of
the beholder. The original project was submitted at a
height of about 165 feet. Upon review of the
application, city staff recommended no more than 150
feet to the developer. Although the neighborhood has
not defined a height that would be supported, the
developer further reduced the project height to 127
feet for the north tower and 138 feet for the south
tower, At all times during this process, the city
administration strongly encouraged the developer
and the neighborhood to reach consensus.
It should be noted that the proposed project
height was publicly discussed at a previous meeting of
the Co~~~~ Development B?~rd ~ver a year ago.
Your voice counts
We invite readers to write letters for publica-
tion. Address them to Letters to the Editor,
the Times, 710 Court St., Clemwater ,FL
33756. Or you may fax them to (727)
445-4119, ore-mail to

be text only and cannot include attachments.
Letters should be brief and must include the
writer's name, city of residence, mailing address
and phone number. Addresses and phone num-
bers will not be published.
Letters may be edited for clarity, taste and
length. We regret that not all letters can be
printed.
At that time, the developers indicated they would be
resubmitting the project at a height of about 150 feet
and the immediate neighbors indicated an agreement
had been reached to support that height.
Many city managers have public administration
degrees. Few are trained professional planners.
Fortunately in Clearwater, the city currently employs
six staff members with master's degrees in planning.
We also employ an assistant city manager for
economic development, who was a national leader in
the planning profession with more than 25
professional awards to his credit.
Defining appropriate transitions between
downtown and adjacent neighborhoods is extremely
subjective. Even planning professionals disagree.
However, it is clear that this area has been
substandard for over a decade and its current use as a
commercial marina could not be more incompatible
with the adjacent neighborhood.
Finally, the opportunity for new residential
development is the highest priority for downtown
redevelopment. The addition of new residents is
compatible with the adjacent neighborhood, will serve
to improve a struggling area north of downtown and
will stabilize and improve properties and businesses
in the area,
The next component of the approval process
includes the opportunity for neighbors, businesses
and the applicant to present their positions to the
Community Development Board for their
consideration today. The board will then have the
opportunity to make a fair and balanced decision
based on the positions of all those that are interested.
That is the formula for a fair process.
Bill Horne, Clearwater city manager
High-rise condos not compatible
Re: Condo project would clash with rest ofneighbor-
hood, editorial, June 15.
Clearwater needs to review the newly adopted
Planning to Stay element of the county's comprehen-
sive plan. Under the heading Urban Communities,
Nos, 4 and 5 state:
4. Pinellas County recognizes that successful
neighborhoods are central to the quality oflife in Pi-
nellas County. Therefore, redevelopment and urban
infill should not compromise the integrity and viability
of existing residential neighborhoods.
5. When considering ways to encourage neighbor-
hood enhancement and rejuvenation, it is important
that such efforts are compatible with community char-
acter, local traditions and heritage, infrastructure ca-
pacities, the natural environment and the overall vi-
sion for the community.
Clearly, these high-rise condos are not compatible
with the community character and even look com-
pletely out of place in the picture shown with this edi-
torial.
Ellen Pfau, conservation chair
Clearwater Audubon Society
Board should heed residents
Re: Condo project would clash with rest of neighbor-
hood, editorial, June 15.
As a resident of the Old Clearwater Bay neighbor-
hood, I wish to thank you for this informative editorial
on the prospect of a massive condominium project at
the ClearWater Bay Marina site. If the Clearwater
Community Development Board decides in favor of
the developer, it will, in my opinion, not only set a pre-
cedent for our neighborhood but for any neighbor-
hood; especially those located on the waterfront and
in close proximity to downtown,
I am in favor of new structures that will enhance
our area, but this proposal is not compatible with the
ambience of our historic district. I sincerely hope that
the board will listen to the petitions of the residents,
adhere to planning principles and not give in to the de-
mands of yet another developer.

Launch site for boats needed
Re: Residents voice oPinions on park plans, story,
June 12,
I was deeply disturbed when I read your article
about the proposed boat ramp at Pop Stansell Park. It
quoted someone as saying: "It would bring in a whole
new element that doesn't need to be there."
I am a retiree who has been living in Pinellas
County more than 25 years, I have a boat that I launch
at Pop Stansell almost once a week. I love fishing the
waters of St. Joseph Sound. I can honestly say that all
the boaters that I have ever seen launching their boats
there seemed like nice people and many of them take
their families out for a day of fun.
I don't feel that a concrete ramp would draw a
"new element." Florida is a boating and fishing para-
dise. We don't have enough launching sites in our
neck of the woods. Anclote Park launching ramp is al-
ways full to capacity. People wait with their boats sin-
gle file out in the street sometimes for hours just to
launch their boats. We need more launching ramps in
North Pinellas. I'm sure the county engineers can
come up with a better design for Pop Stansell Park
that will make everyone happy. We honestly need to
improve the launch site there, Our boaters are hurting
for a place to put their boats in.

Church contributes to downtown
I am a business owner and property owner in
downtown Clearwater. I have been a homeowner and
resident of Clearwater Beach for more than 17 years. I
am a member of the Main Street Promotions Commit-
tee.
Since I began my business and bought property in
downtown, I have had many dealings with members
of the Church of Scientology. I have found them to be '
very interested in improving our downtown and I have:~
watched them contribute to events and activities in
downtown to bring about a revitalization of the down-
town.
I am not a member of the Church of Scientology.
The property that members own is clean and up-
scale. The quality of the renovations that they do is
commendable. I would like to see other downtown, '..
property owners take the care and initiative to up-
grade their building and facades. I see the church do-
ing that, and I don't see how this is detrimental to . ,_
downtown. In fact, I think it's helpful.
I shop at Stein Mart and Starbucks as well as other.
retailers downtown, and if the church can help attract
additional large retailers to the downtown area, it
would benefit everyone, As far as I'm concerned,
members are welcome in our downtown, and I hope
that they continue to contribute in the way that they'.'
have,

f[J:rtfi '2.. , fJ(J ~J..
General standards for level one and level two approval conditions
A. 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 the character of
adjacent properties in which it is located.
The proposed development is not in harmony with the scale, bulk,
or density of adjacent properties. The property directly to the north
is improved with a one story single-family residence and low-rise
multifamily as contrasted to the proposed high-rise structure. The
general character of the area is one of low-rise development.
The proposed development is completely incompatible with the
character of the adjacent properties. The proposed development is
within the Central Business District (CBD) land use category and
the Downtown (D) zoning district, both of which allow the highest
density development in the City. The property directly to the north
has a future land use designation of Residential Urban (RU) and is
zoned Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), which permits, at
the maximum, some of the lowest densities in the City. For
example, the RU land use and LMDR zoning permits approximately
7.5 units per acre, and the development proposal consists of 31
units per acre. The development proposal has approximately four
times the allowable density of the property directly to the north, and
no transition is proposed between these densities.
The site plan approval process should be used to provide some
sort of transition between densities and building heights as
opposed to allowing high density and high-rise residential directly
adjacent to low density and low-rise residential.
According to information provided by the City of Clearwater, the
proposed project will be taller (as measured from existing grade)
than many of the buildings in the existing downtown area. As
evidenced by this data, a project of this height would be more in
keeping with a location more interior to the Central Business
District.
Page 1 of 8
The City's staff report states that the area is characterized by a mix
of land uses, including single-family dwellings, small-scale attached
dwellings and high-rise attached dwellings. The high-rise attached
dwellings in the area are located to the south, more interior to the
Central Business District and not adjacent to single family
residential zoning districts.
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.
The proposed structure lies within approximately 30 feet of the
property line of the residence to the north. This structure will
impact the use of this property as a single family residence as this
high-rise structure will dominate the southerly view from the
backyard of this residence. The proposed north tower also has
windows that open to the northern property line, giving occupants of
the condominium units an unobstructed view of this single family
property to the north. The size of this proposed structure becomes
a critical concern for the potential future sale of this adjacent single
family property.
The City's staff report does not address the impact of the project on
the value of the single family residence to the north.
3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health
or safety or persons residing or working in the neighborhood
of the proposed use.
N/A
4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic
congestion.
It is not clear as to whether the proposed development is designed
to minimize traffic congestion. The City's traffic analysis states that
the project will generate 806 daily trips. No assessment is included
relative to the impact on Osceola Street, on which the project is
proposed to have two driveways, and the only assessment is for
Fort Harrison Avenue. Osceola Street has only an approximate 20
foot wide pavement section. It is unrealistic to assume that no
resultant traffic will utilize Osceola Street.
Page 2 of 8
5. The proposed development is consistent with the community
character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development.
The proposed development is not consistent with the community
character as it abuts a single family residence, and is located
directly on the boundary of the Central Business District. This area
to the north, on the west side of Osceola Avenue, to Palm Bluff
Street, is predominately single family development with some
scattered duplexes. The use itself does not make the development
inconsistent with the community character, but its intensity and
height does. The proposed development is placing some of the
most intense and tallest development permissible in the City
adjacent to some of the least intense, low-rise development.
Such a development would be more in keeping with the community
character if it were located further within the interior of the Central
Business District as opposed to the periphery.
6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse
effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours or
operation impacts on adjacent properties.
The design of the proposed development is a substantial visual
imposition upon the single family residence to the north. With the
development of this project, this property owner will be subject to
view of a high-rise development within approximately 30 feet of the
property line. Windows are proposed on the north side of the
condominiums, and these windows will afford an unobstructed view
of the single family residential property to the north.
Section 2-903. Flexible development (Flexibility Standards)
B. Comprehensive infill redevelopment projects
1. The development or redevelopment of the parcel proposed for
development is otherwise impractical without deviations from
the use, intensity and development standards;
The development of this parcel is completely possible without such
a drastic deviation from the standards of the ordinance (30 feet to
138 feet in height.) Closer adherence to the standards of the
ordinance would likely result in the development of fewer units.
Page 3 of 8
The City's staff report states that the increased height may be
mitigated due to the slope of the land as the elevation of the land
ranges from 29 feet above sea level at Fort Harrison Avenue to 6
feet above sea level at the seawall. This statement is misleading
because the elevation difference is contained mostly on the
property between Osceola Avenue and Fort Harrison Avenue,
which slopes from 29 to 16 feet. The elevation difference on the
portion of the site west of Osceola Street (where the structures are
proposed) ranges from 15 to 6 feet, and most of that elevation
change is generally contained on the southeast corner of this
portion of the site. As a result, the height of the structure may be
sliQhtlv mitigated from Fort Harrison Avenue, but not from Osceola
Avenue.
2. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a
Comprehensive Infill Development Project will not reduce the
fair market value of abutting properties;
The proposed development has the potential to impact the value of
the single family residence to the north, given the incompatibility in
terms of size, density, bulk, intensity and height. Such
development may have an impact on the future sale of this
residence, as this residence is not located within the Central
Business District, and development comparable to that of the
subject property would not be possible.
The City's staff report states that the development of the site
"should" not reduce the value of adjacent properties, but no data is
provided to support that statement.
3. The uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment
project are otherwise permitted in the City of Clearwater;
N/A
4. The uses or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill
redevelopment project are compatible with adjacent land
uses;
The use as a high-rise development is not compatible with the
adjacent single-family residence to the north, based on the
dissimilar scales of the two land uses. The project is also not
compatible with the character of the surrounding area, which is an
area of low-rise structures.
Page 4 of 8
The use of the property for high-rise development is what creates
the incompatibility. Condominiums and townhomes are
appropriate, but not at the height and scale proposed.
The City's staff report states that balconies of the project have
been oriented northward to minimize views to adjacent properties
to the north, however, windows are proposed along this north
property boundary. The report makes no reference to the
compatibility relative to bulk, intensity, or height as it relates to
surrounding properties. The report also references that a previous
development approval on the site, at a height of 100 feet was
found to be compatible, however this proposal is approximately
one-third taller.
5. Suitable sites for development or redevelopment of the uses
or mix of uses within the comprehensive infill redevelopment
project are not otherwise available in the City of Clearwater;
While an analysis of alternate sites for development of a
condominium complex with accompanying boat slips has not been
undertaken, it is conceivable that such a use could be developed
elsewhere in the City, away from the periphery of the CBD, given
the amount of waterfront property within the City limits. The City's
staff report states that the site is suitable for a marina and for
attached dwellings. The site is suitable for these uses, but not at
the scale and height proposed.
6. The development of the parcel proposed for development as a
comprehensive infill redevelopment project will upgrade the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development;
The development of the parcel as a high-rise will not upgrade the
adjacent property to the north, and will in fact create a visual barrier
for these properties. The development will also not upgrade the
immediate vicinity of the property as it creates development with
absolutely no transition between residential densities. Again, the
development proposes densities approximately four times higher
than the adjacent densities to the north.
7. The design of the proposed comprehensive infill
redevelopment project creates a form and function which
enhances the community character of the immediate vicinity
of the parcel proposed for development and the City of
Clearwater as a whole;
Page 5 of 8
The design of the property does not enhance the community
character as it creates a visual barrier to the property to the north.
The community character is not enhanced with the development of
a structure of a height and scale which is more appropriate in the
interior of the downtown as opposed to the periphery.
8. Flexibility in regard to lot width, required setbacks, height and
off-street parking are justified by the benefits to community
character and the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed
for development and the City of Clearwater as a whole;
The increased height is not justified as no benefit is given to the
immediate vicinity of the property by the increased height. The
increased height is actually detrimental to the adjacent properties.
The development creates a visual barrier, places incompatible
residential densities next to each other, and proposes a structure
on the periphery of the CBD which would be more in keeping in the
interior of the district, where it would be less likely to negatively
impact single family residences.
The City's staff report states that the increase of the height may be
apparent along the street or from adjacent properties, but may be
mitigated by the grade differential and existing tree canopy. The
height of the structures will be readily visible regardless of the tree
canopy or the grade differential.
9. Adequate off-street parking in the immediate vicinity
according to the shared parking formula in Division 14 of
Article 3 will be available to avoid on-street parking in the
immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development;
N/A
10. The design of all buildings complies with the Downtown
District design guidelines in Division 5 of Article 3.
The City of Clearwater Design Guidelines states that "new infill
buildings located in block faces with existing buildings should strive
for a range between 70% and 130% of the average height of
structures in the block face to which the building is oriented.
Buildings in excess of 130% of the prevailing height should be
stepped back so the additional height is not visible from the street
to which the buildings are oriented." The proposed development is
inconsistent with this height guideline, as the building is much taller
than the adjacent buildings, and the "step backs" in the building
design are minimal. This criterion is not evaluated within the City's
staff report.
Page 6 of 8
Comprehensive Plan Goals/Objectives/Policies
The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and
engineering practices and urban design standards in order to protect
historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted
areas and encourage infill development.
The proposed development will not ensure neighborhood preservation for the
property to the north, as a significant visual barrier will be created, which may be
an impediment to the future sale of the property.
The City of Clearwater shall continue to support innovative planned
development and mixed use development techniques in order to promote
infill development that is consistent and compatible with the surrounding
environment.
As previously referenced, this project is not consistent or compatible with the
surrounding environment as it proposes development that is much higher in
density, height, bulk, and intensity than are the adjacent residential properties.
The innovative planning techniques referenced above would include transition
between the adjacent uses and disparate densities, which is not proposed with
this plan.
On a continuing basis, the Community Development Code and the site plan
approval process shall be utilized in promoting infill development and/or
planned developments that are compatible.
The proposed site plan contemplates infill development that is not compatible in
its current configuration. The incompatibility is due to the proposed project's
density, height, bulk and intensity as it relates to the properties to the north.
The property directly to the north has a future land use designation of Residential
Urban (RU) and is zoned Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) which
permits approximately 7.5 units per acre, whereas the proposed development
consists of 31 units per acre. Only one other zoning district (Low Density
Residential) has a lower maximum density than does the LMDR district. No
transition between these disparate densities is provided.
The City shall encourage the implementation of historic overlay districts,
the maintenance of existing historic properties, and the preservation of
existing neighborhoods through the use of design guidelines and the
implementation of the City's Community Development Code.
The implementation of the City's Community Development Code should provide
for some sort of transition of density and intensity between this proposed use and
Page 7 of 8
the adjacent use and none is provided. Approval of the development will not
result in the preservation of the neighborhood, but will create a substantial visual
barrier for the properties to the north.

I urge you 10 deny approval of the proposed pr~iect. No highrise
huildings should be allowed north of Seminole Street. The
highrises to the south should be tiered so that the taller buildings
ore near downtown and taper down toward Seminole Street. The
Old Clearwater Bay neighborhood should be allowed to redevelop
only as single family homes. Many in that neighborhood have
spent many thousa.nds of dollars to restore some of Clearwater' s
oldest homes. Please tet them continue.

Mayor,
The boat ramp is over crowded and needs developement. We cannot allow a condo developement on public
recreation use land until! a provision is made for the expansion of the ramp facilities. Stop (board meeting at 2pm
Tuesday) the developement of public use property for private residential use. We don't need more residents on
the waterfront we need facilites for boaters. The proposed new marina at the bridge will not supply that need.

We must stop the approval of the condo developement at the Clearwater Bay Marine at least untill a
study is performed and a plan developed to provide additional parking and facilities for the Seminole
Boat Ramp. The City is in violation of the City code by selling more launch permits than it has
parking spaces. Trailer parking thruout the neighborhood is also a violation of City code. Plus, the
Clearwater Bay Marine parking will be lost. Stop the vote of approval at the meeting at 2 pm on

RE: Development Order regarding case FL 00-10-46 - 880, 900 and 908 North
Osceola Avenue.
Dear Mr. Harrill:
This letter constitutes a Development Order pursuant to Section 4-206 D.7 of the _
Community Development Code. On December 12, 2000, the Community Development
Board reviewed your application for Flexible Development approval to increase the
height of attached dwellings from 35 feet to 100 feet and to reduce the (north) side
setback from 10 feet to three feet (to an emergency access aisle), with a Comprehensive
Landscape Program. The proposal includes the redevelopment of the existing Clearwater
Marina to include a 140-unit condominium, 112-slip marina, a 7,000 square foot
restaurant, a 2,000 square foot retail shop, and a 4,500 square foot office.
Based on the application and the staff recommendation, the Board found that the proposal
is in compliance with the standards and criteria for a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project, the maximum development potential standards and all other
applicable standards of the Community Development Code. The Community
Development Board approved the application subject to the following conditions:
1. That a building permit for either the attached dwellings or restaurant be submitted
within two years from approval of the site plan (December 12, 2002);
2. That the existing chain link fence along the south property line be replaced with a
decorative fence including masonry columns and metal grill work;
3. That a gate be installed along the south property line to prevent restaurant patrons
from parking at the Seminole Boat Ramp (City-owned) property;
4. That the existing curb cut along the west side of Ft. Harrison A venue be removed
and reflected on a revised site plan; ~I,", \.1[; j

located at 301 Cedar Street (Morgan residence) generally consistent with the
landscaping plan attached hereto as Exhibit B (the property owners of 301 Cedar
Street will be responsible for the maintenance of same landscaping).
Pursuant to Section 4-407, an application for a building permit shall be made within one
year of Flexible Development approval (January 2, 2002). All required certificates of
occupancy shall be obtained within one year of the date of issuance of the building
permit. Time frames do not change with successive owners. The Community
Development Board may grant an extension of time for a period not to exceed one year
and only within the original period of validity.
Please remember that a building permit and impact fees will be required prior to the
construction of the project. Should you have any questions, please call W. Ryan Givens,
Planner at 727-562-4504.
