The Development Review Committee reviewed the application and supporting materials
on September 12, 2002. There are two recommendations regarding this case.
The Planning Department recommends approval of the Flexible Development request,
as an amendment to a previously approved Flexible Standard Development application
(FLS2002-06048), to increase the height of material stored/displayed in the garden center and
storage areas from 15 feet to 20 feet, (amending Condition #1) as part of a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Section 2-704.B. for the site at 20505 U.S.
Highway 19 North, with the following bases and conditions:
Bases for Aooroval: (Amending previously imposed Condition #1 to increase the height
of material stored/displayed in the garden center and storage areas from 15 feet to 20 feet):
1. The proposal complies with the Flexible Development criteria as a Comprehensive
Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Sections 2-704.B.;
2. The proposal is compliance with other standards in the Code including the general
applicability criteria under the provisions of Section 3-913;
3. The development is consistent with the approved Master Plan; and
4. The development is compatible with the surrounding area and will not enhance other
redevelopment efforts.
Conditions of Aooroval: (* Denotes conditions originally imposed and carried forward as

The Planning Department recommends denial of the Flexible Development request, as
an amendment to a previously approved Flexible Standard Development application (FLS2002-
06048), to increase the height of materials to be displayed in front of the store from four feet to
eight feet and to permit non-living plant material to be displayed in the front of the store,
(Conditions #2 and 3) as part of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the
provisions of Section 2-704.B. for the site at 20505 U.S. Highway 19 North, with the following
bases:
Bases for Denial: (Amending Conditions #2 and 3 to increase the height of materials to
be displayed in front of the store from four feet to eight feet and permit non-living plant material
to be displayed in the front of the store):
1. The proposal does not comply with the Flexible Development criteria as a Comprehensive
Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Sections 2-704.B.;
2. The proposal does not meet the objectives of the Community Development Code (Section
1-103);
3. The proposal is not in compliance with other standards in the Code including the general
applicability criteria under the provisions of Section 3-913;
4. The development is inconsistent with the approved Master Plan for the redevelopment of
Clearwater Mall; and
5. The proposal is incompatible with the surrounding area and will not enhance other
redevelopment efforts.
Assistant Planning Director Lisa Fierce said when the applicant received the approval of
the flexible standard application in the fall for outdoor display, they chose not to appeal that
decision. Today's request appears to be a similar method to achieve the same end.
In response to a question, Planner Mark Parry said there is a formal temporary use
permit to allow sidewalk sales, etc. Assistant City Attorney Leslie Dougall-Sides said the City
tries to work with businesses regarding outdoor displays such as sidewalk sales prior to
imposing a fine and levying a violation.

In response to a question from Ed Armstrong, applicant's representative, Ms. Fierce said
the applicant has a right to ask for this application. Mr. Armstrong said Lowe's was anxious to
close on this property and there were priorities with this complex type of project. The applicant
had intended to come back before the board to address some outstanding issues, which are
being requested today. He referred to a drawing of the display area in question. One section is
immediately east of the garden center, and one is on the extreme southern outside boundary of
the store. He said these sections are limited in area. A 51-page document has been negotiated
between Target, Costco, and Lowe's regarding an operation and easement agreement, which
specifies the respective rights of those three parties at this site. Mr. Armstrong stated he
understands that the agreement is not binding upon the City. He said a great deal of the criteria
in the Code addresses the impact to surrounding properties. The expectations of both Costco
and Lowe's clearly support what is being requested today. He said the landscaping plan for the
site exceeds the City's Code requirements as Lowe's is well-buffered from State Road 60, which
is the only vantage point from which a passerby would see the outdoor display area. The
applicant believes this redevelopment project has significantly upgraded the area. Mr.
Armstrong said this request is consistent with what has been requested previously. In response
to a question, he said the request for an increase in height of materials to be displayed in the
aforementioned narrowly defined sections of the site from four to eight feet and to permit non-
living plant material such as paver blocks, mulch, etc. was derived from data gathered by
national merchandisers. They have indicated the four foot high outdoor storage areas
somewhat reduce the likelihood of their ability to be successful. Mr. Armstrong said he could
not produce a study regarding the impact of a four-foot versus eight-foot outdoor storage display
area.
In response to a question, Mr. Steve Henry, Links and Associates said in discussions
with Target and Costco, they have indicated they have the ability for outdoor storage under the
OEA (Operating and Easement Agreement), and they may come before the COB (Community
Development Board) to make additional requests to their site plans.
In response to a question, Ms. Fierce said the Lowe's store at State Road 580 & US19N
was approved under a different set of circumstances and a different Code.
Mr. Henry said the store would not be able to place a six-foot tall palm tree in the
outdoor display area. Lowe's also would like the ability to place non-living materials such as
paver blocks, mulch, and other products in the outdoor display area. Mr. Armstrong said as the
outdoor display areas are severely limited, the ability for more height would make a great
difference in the volume of products that could be displayed. Mr. Henry said materials must be
kept six feet from the loading zone to the material in order for a pedestrian pathway and at exits
to the building. Mr. Armstrong said the COB already has set a precedent to allow a specific
area for outdoor display area. This is a height issue. In response to a question, Mr. Henry said
the area where the non-living plant materials are to be displayed on the north end is not
covered; the area is covered on the south end near the lumber canopy. In response to a
question, Mr. Armstrong said Lowe's also sells appliances but the OEA prohibits that activity
and Lowe's does not intend to place them outdoors.
In response to a question, Ms. Fierce said staff would research if the Tires Plus store on
Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard can legally store outside materials such as tires on racks on their site.
In response to a question, Ms. Fierce said the staff report points out where it is unclear
that the applicant did not address some of the provisions of the Code. She said it is unclear
how the responses meet that criteria. Mr. Armstrong said that the applicant had answered
Community Development 2003-0218

.
every question posed to them by staff. His understanding is that staff is not supportive or in
agreement with the applicant's answers. He views staff's decisions as their subjective
professional opinion rather than a technical deficiency in the application. Ms. Fierce said there
is a difference between answering something and answering it well. In response to a question,
Ms. Fierce said the application was deemed complete and sufficient to be brought before the
CD8.
Discussion ensued regarding the request for an increased height of eight feet. It was felt
the applicant had not provided a compelling argument that Lowe's would be more competitive if
the height for outdoor storage display was increased. Concern was expressed that increasing
the height would set a precedent for other businesses on the site to request the same increase.
It was remarked that the City had shown some willingness to compromise on the previous free-
standing sign issue brought before the Commission, which helped the new Clearwater Mall
establishments address visibility issues.
Member Hooper moved to recommend approval of increasing the height of material
stored/displayed in the garden center and storage areas from 15 feet to 20 feet, (amending
Condition #1) as part of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the provisions of
Section 2-704.8. for the site at 20505 U.S. Highway 19 North, with the 11 conditions as listed for
20505 US 19 N. The motion was duly seconded. Upon the vote being taken, Members
Hooper, Plisko, Gildersleeve, Moran, Doran, Alternate Member Milam, and Chair Petersen

E. DIRECTOR'S ITEMS:
1. Downtown Plan Uodate
Long Range Planning Manager Gina Clayton presented an update of the downtown
plan. She said the Commission approved the plan currently in place in 1995. In 2000, staff
worked on an update of the Periphery Plan, which addresses four areas on the periphery of
downtown. At that time four areas were rezoned. In 2002, the CRA (Community
Redevelopment Agency) was expanded to include two of those Periphery Plan areas and the
Gateway area. Staff is in the process of trying to bring together all of these plans. This
Downtown Plan serves as a CRA plan and a land use plan. The PPC (Pinellas Planning
Council) and the Countywide Planning Authority must approve this plan. The land use plan is
specific in the 1999 Downtown Plan. As staff feels that plan is not as flexible as needed, a
downtown character district concept has been developed which breaks the downtown into six
districts with specific boundaries. Ms. Clayton reviewed how the City envisions development
. will occur and the types of development potential anticipated.
DOWNTOWN CHARACTER DISTRICTS
1. DOWNTOWN CORE DISTRICT (121 acres in area)
Existina Character
The Downtown Core is the government center and principal employment core of the
City. Many of the Pinellas County 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 Pine lias
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 it 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 waterfront parcels is also anticipated: the
Harborview/Coachman Park parcel and the City Hall/Calvary Baptist Church parcel. The
Harborview/Coachman Park parcel is located west of Osceola Street from Drew Street south to
Cleveland Street. The City will contemplate redevelopment of retail/restauranUmixed use 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 residential/
retail and mixed use. It is recognized that redevelopment of both parcels will require additional
approval from the citizens of Clearwater.
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 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 Street east to Myrtle Avenue and from Drew
Street south to Pierce Street. The Downtown Core shall be redeveloped as a pedestrian friendly
place achieved through a diversity of land uses, urban design and streetscape improvements.
Heights along Cleveland Street should respect and be consistent with the existing
predominant historic building heights to the depth north and south from Cleveland Street as
currently exists. Redevelopment on properties that extend beyond the Cleveland Street
frontage shall retain the historic building pattern but may create higher construction stepping
back from Cleveland Street. The redevelopment should insure connections with the historic
buildings and should create a good transition in building and site design that promotes the
pedestrian scale along Cleveland Street.
The Pinellas Trail should be integrated into the Downtown Core through such
mechanisms as a connection from the Trail across the Memorial Bridge, improvements to the
Trail within the Downtown Core, and other easUwest trails that connect the balance of the City
with the Downtown.
Prohibited Uses
Detached dwellings, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas
stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses
(examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and
tattoo parlors).

In response to a question, Ms. Clayton said the heights in the historic area vary and
could be up to four stories high. It was remarked that some of the buildings in the historic
district are sandwiched between taller buildings. Discussion ensued regarding setting a
maximum height to maintain the character of the area. Ms. Clayton said the height allowances
would be addressed through policy using existing historical lower structures as a benchmark.
She said the Commission has determined they do not wish to impose any specific height
limitations in that area.
2. OLD BAY (63 acres in area)
Existina Character
The Old Bay District, which is the area previously known as the Northwest Periphery
Plan area and the land south of Jones to Drew Street, is a transitional area between the
Downtown Core and the low density residential areas to the north. N. Ft. Harrison 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 with incompatible uses.
The District's location along Clearwater Harbor and the significant number of older
structures (more than 50 years) provides a unique character for this District. However, the
location of N. Ft. Harrison Avenue essentially divides the District into two distinct sections. This
situation, along with the significant traffic volumes on the street, contributes 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 surrounding by
nonconforming vehicle services and industrial uses.
District Vision
Uses
The Old Bay District is envisioned to be a residential neighborhood supporting the
downtown employment base with limited neighborhood commercial and office uses.
Renovations of existing older structures are also encouraged. A variety of densities and
housing styles is encouraged throughout the District.
This District provides an opportunity for higher-density residential uses along Clearwater
Harbor west of Osceola Avenue, provided the development is sensitive to the established low-
rise historic character of the District. The eastern frontage of Osceola Avenue may retain its
Community Development 2003-0218

.
residential use, convert the existing building to office, redevelop with residential scale offices or
combine these two uses on the same site. North Fort Harrison Avenue is envisioned as the
main commercial area providing neighborhood commercial uses on properties on both sides of
the street. Properties located east of Garden Avenue may be redeveloped as either residential
use or residential scale office development or a mix of these two uses. The last parcel within
the District east of the Pinellas Trail through to Myrtle Street is envisioned to remain as the
City's Gas Department administrative offices and warehouse.
Function
The character of Old Bay should be strengthened through streets cape elements that
identify the District as a downtown neighborhood. Emphasis should be placed on tying the
eastern and western sections of the entire District by providing linkages between the waterfront
and the Pinellas Trail. Public improvements to the Seminole Boat ramp will also enhance
waterfront access and appearance.
Develooment 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 and should reflect the low-rise scale of the existing neighborhood.
Renovation/restoration of the existing historic homes is strongly encouraged and new
development is encouraged to 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 Dock and Pinellas Trail.
Prohibited Uses
Automobile dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food
restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day
labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors).
Intensitv:
Floor Area Ratio = 0.5 FAR
Density:
West of N. Garden Avenue:
< 2 acres - 25 units/acre
> 2 acres - 50 units/acre
Between N. Garden Avenue and the Pinellas Trail:
< 1 acre - 7.5 units/acre
> 1 acre - 25 units/acre
Height: No maximum height restriction
.
In response to a question, Ms. Clayton said she was unsure how commuting patterns
would change when Alternate 19 is rerouted. There is opportunity to make some improvements
to Ft. Harrison Avenue and deal with traffic more effectively. Consideration is being given to
changing Ft. Harrison Avenue from four to two lanes and incorporating on-street parking nearer
the downtown core. She said there would be a connection from Missouri Avenue at Court
Street and connecting to Myrtle Avenue.

Concern was expressed that there is a disparity between unlimited heights and the
desire for people to renovate their historic homes. Ms. Clayton said as new development
occurs it must be done in a manner that is sensitive to low scale development. Transitions
between heights and distances of buildings need to be considered to protect existing residential
areas while capitalizing on the great waterfront location. She said the Commission is against
height limitations at this time. It was suggested that tiering or terracing of the bluff in addition to
a more specific plan be considered to address height transitioning.
Ms. Clayton said the City is in the process of hiring a consultant to prepare design
guidelines for this area. She said the boundary for the Old Bay District was established in 1992
when the Periphery Plan was developed. It has a central business district land use category
and is part of downtown. If the boundaries were changed, the entire area would have to be
reconsidered. She said the dividing line or end of the downtown always has been at the marina.
One member said he would like to recommend to the Commission that they simultaneously
consider height restrictions in this area along with the related policies.
In response to a question, Ms. Clayton said staff uses policy to make a determination
about what they recommend to the CDB. It also is by the CDB as a restrictive application. The
policies would be part of the downtown development plan that is adopted. Staff also uses the
Downtown Development Plan as guidance. Any issues not addressed in the Downtown Plan
would be considered under the Community Development Code.
Planning Director Cyndi Tarapani said staff values the CDB's input. The draft policies
presented today are not final. She said the boundaries as described in these six districts must
remain in place for this particular plan because the periphery boundaries had already been set.
The east expansion was set as a CRA evaluation and expansion was implemented. This
downtown plan had to be completed in a relatively short timeframe, therefore to look at all the
edges and boundaries and contract or expand them was not possible. It was suggested that
combining several tracts of land would enhance view corridors in this district.
Discussion continued regarding height limitations in this area. CDB members were not
able to offer a specific limitation but felt that there should be a transitioning of buildings with
single-family residential homes and lower buildings. It was suggested that since it would be
difficult to suggest a height maximum at this time, that the terracing effect be considered and a
standard set regarding heights for buildings in residential areas, especially with respect to the
proximity to a community and local schools. It was remarked that staff always considers
whether a project negatively impacts the surrounding area. In response to a question, Ms.
Tarapani said the Osceola Bay Club project was approved at a height of 150 feet; PAC Land
Development project at approximately 82 feet. Staff has provided some examples of
representative heights, density, and FAR ratios in the CDB's meeting packets.
Concern was expressed that imposing a specific height limitation could penalize the first
developer that applies for a project in the middle of this district. Other projects that occur across
the district also could not be given proper consideration with respect to heights of their projects.
It was remarked that the height also would affect the density of a project. It was felt that
reconsideration should be given to the proposed 25 units/acre for parcels less than two acres
and for 50 units/acre for parcels with two or more acres, as the roadway could not handle the
traffic. It was suggested that as there are current height limitations, any deviations should be
brought to the CDB for review on an individual basis. It was remarked that not specifying a
height limitation would be detrimental to this area. Ms. Tarapani said staff is not suggesting
Community Development 2003-0218

.
changing zoning heights at this time. Staff is requesting input from the CDB as to whether an
absolute height limitation should be set as a maximum even under a Comprehensive Infill
standard. Ms. Clayton explained that densities have been increased for mixed-use
developments.
It was requested that staff bring forward an example of a development based on the
proposed 25 units/acre. Ms. Tarapani said maximum units and maximum height requests
require a public hearing. It was suggested the density proposal be changed to state that "up to
25 units/acre" may be allowed; not that it is absolute.
3. SOUTH GATEWAY DISTRICT - (22 acres in 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 S. Ft. Harrison Avenue, which is designated as
Alternate US 19 and is the main traffic corridor in this District. A new community shopping
center was 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 found within the South Gateway.
District Vision
. Uses
The South Gateway is the principal entryway to the Downtown from the south. The
District's location in the vicinity of Morton Plant Hospital and along the travel path for many
commuters makes the S. Ft. Harrison Avenue frontage ideal for commercial uses. The frontage
along S. Ft. 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 US19 will be re-designated from S. Ft. Harrison Avenue to Missouri and Myrtle
at Court Street. Ft. Harrison will be redesigned to function as a local street with two travel lanes
instead of four. The streetscape improvements will recognize the changed function of the street
and emphasize its connection with the Downtown Core.
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.

4. TOWN LAKE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (97 acres in 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 services, 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 N. Greenwood and Cleveland Street. Four
major streets provide egress and ingress to the District as well as internal circulation. The City
is constructing Town Lake in the vicinity of south of Park Street between Prospect and Ewing
Avenues. When complete, 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 allowed along major streets such
as Myrtle Avenue, Cleveland Street, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Court Street and Chestnut
Avenue. Commercial uses along the Court/Chestnut corridor may serve the broader
community, however, the design shall be urban in nature and pedestrian friendly.
Function
The addition of new residents in the Town Lake District will enliven the downtown and
provide a market for new retail and restaurant development. Alternate U.S. 19 will be re-
designated from S. Ft. Harrison Avenue to Myrtle Street which transverses this district. With
Community Development 2003-0218

.
.
the redesignation, Myrtle Avenue/Alternate U.S. 19 is expected to function as the through route
and Ft. Harrison can reclaim its function as the local roadway.
Development Patterns
Residential redevelopment in the area north of Cleveland Street shall have a lower scale
than south of Cleveland due to the existing single-family development pattern. Renovation of
small historic single-family dwellings is encouraged and new construction in the vicinity should
respect the height and scale of Grove Street neighborhood. The residential development south
of Cleveland Street is anticipated to be oriented to Town Lake but along major streets,
development should be oriented to the street to maintain an urban and pedestrian environment.
S. Myrtle Avenue will be re-designated to Alternate U.S. Highway 19 and will function as
an arterial through the Downtown. Even though the transportation function of S. Myrtle Avenue
will change, commercial development on both sides of the street should be constructed with
buildings set 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 dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food
restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day
labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and tattoo parlors).

5. TOWN LAKE BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT (62 acres in 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 corner of Cleveland Street and
Missouri Avenue, a new corporate headquarters, very suburban in character was constructed
within the last 3 years. The remainder of the District is characterized with a mix of uses
including retail, office, utility/infrastructure and nonconforming industrial uses. Even though this
major office redevelopment office 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,
Community Development 2003-0218

.
.
.
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.
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.
Develooment 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.
Prohibited Uses
Detached dwellings, vehicles services, automobile dependent uses including gas
stations, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, industrial and problematic uses
(examples include day labor, pawn shop, check cashing center and blood plasma centers and
tattoo parlors).

6. East Gateway District (175 acres)
Existina Character
The terminology "East Gateway" is associated with a geographic node radiating from the
intersection of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard with Cleveland Avenue to Missouri Avenue, and from
Drew Street to Court Street. This area was recently characterized as experiencing rapid
deterioration and decline.
With the realignment of the Memorial Causeway Bridge in mid-2004, and the associated
loss of thousands of daily through traffic along Cleveland Street, this district runs the risk of
seeing its residential and retail base erode.
East Gateway is characterized by a mixed land use pattern of predominantly owner-
occupied single-family residential, interspersed with pockets of poorly-maintained rental
properties and strip commercial, as well as relatively well-maintained small professional offices
along Court Street. The Gateway area was targeted in 2002 as a Community Redevelopment
"Expansion" Area, and the City Commission and Board of County Commissioners approved the
CRA expansion in late 2002.
Community Development 2003-0218
16
2/18/03
.
.
.
The underlying constraints of the East Gateway District can be noted as follows:
Residential:
. Lots with deteriorating surface conditions
. Absence of landscaping and buffers from adjacent rights-of-ways
. Inappropriate placement of housing within commercial corridors
. Structures with multiple code violations
. Outside storage with no screening
. Absence of on-site management controls within rental complexes
. Inappropriate placement of waste containers
. Intrusion of drug related crime activities into residential neighborhoods
. Structurally unsound homes impacting the safety and welfare of residents
. Bland architectural detailing
Commercial:
. A predominate tenant mix which does not serve the daily needs of area residents
. Inappropriate day labor offices which contribute to attracting homeless individuals to
the neighborhood
. Strip commercial with no landscaping, appropriate parking, signage or quality
architectural detailing
. Existing structure such as motels being converted to transient multiple housing or
retail storefronts
. Blighted building conditions fraught with code violations
. Inadequate lot square footage which negates an ability to accommodate a modern
retail or personal service structure
. Obsolete, deteriorating and non-complying signs
. Inappropriate land uses and zoning districts
. Multiple lot ownership making potential lot assemblage difficult
. Non-functioning off-street parking and turning movements
. Inappropriate use of vacant lots for parking
. Lack of separation between right-of-way and parking areas
. Deteriorating or non-existent site and right-of-way infrastructure, including paving,
sidewalks, and landscaping
. A pervasive negative "image"
District Vision
Uses
It is envisioned that the East Gateway will continue to be developed as a low and
medium density residential neighborhood supported with neighborhood commercial and
professional offices.
Commercial and office uses should be concentrated along the Cleveland/Gulf to Bay,
Court Street, and Missouri Avenue corridors. The area northeast of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and
north of Cleveland Street should be maintained as a primarily low density, low-rise residential
Community Development 2003-0218

.
.
.
neighborhood. The area southwest of Gulf to Bay Boulevard and south of Cleveland Street is
appropriate for medium density multi-family residential and office environment. Infill residential
is encouraged in the entire district.
A key component of this development strategy is the consolidation of the existing
Clearwater Homeless Intervention Project (CHIP) facilities into a "campus" within the East
Gateway District combined with the relocation of the day labor offices into this complex. This
consolidation will address the emergency needs of the downtown homeless, and negate any
future intrusion of scattered homeless facilities throughout the neighborhood.
Function
With the opening of the new Memorial Bridge in late 2003 and the new function of the
Court/Chestnut roads serving as the entry/exit corridors for the Bridge, the East Gateway
District becomes the new entryway to downtown. This major traffic circulation change offers
opportunities to create a gateway for residents and tourists whose destination is Downtown.
The main corridor of Cleveland Street/Gulf to Bay needs to reflect this gateway function with
attractive streetscape and landscaping elements along with appropriate wayfinding signage.
Emphasis should be placed on strengthening this commercial/office corridor and stabilizing the
residential base.
Develooment Patterns
The existing residential neighborhoods 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 medium scale; consolidation of small obsolete
development parcels/buildings are encouraged to create an adequate lot size for modern
development standards.
Prohibited Uses
Automobile dependent uses including gas stations, vehicles services, fast food
restaurants with drive-through services, industrial and problematic uses (examples include day
labor, pawn shops, check cashing center, blood plasma centers, tattoo parlors and conversion
of older strip motels into transient apartments).

Ms. Clayton said the City has hired a firm (Bellomo-Herbert and Company) to work on
the streetscaping project for this area. Mr. Frank Bellomo is working on an open space plan for
this district. He has scheduled an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow night at the
Harborview Center regarding the Coachman Park plan.
In response to a question, Ms. Clayton said after the new bridge is completed, the City
would own Cleveland Street and the State would own Court Street. It was remarked that Court
Street is extremely unattractive, doesn't function well, and needs to be addressed. Ms. Clayton
said the Bellomo contract includes design work for Court Street, keeping in mind it would be
under the auspices of the State. Ms. Tarapani said the master streetscape plan that Mr.
Bellomo is working on encompasses a series of five to six levels of treatment. The City is in the
process of trying to quantify costs for all streetscaping projects and how to fund them. It was
remarked that the State typically brings a roadway up to standards prior to changing its
ownership. Ms. Tarapani said discussions are taking place with the FDOT (Florida Department
of Transportation) regarding improvements to Court Street. Ms. Clayton said as the streetscape
project moves forward, information and meeting dates would be posted on the Planning
Department's web site.
Staff will provide information regarding the area that the Town Pond serves for
stormwater.
In response to a question, Ms. Tarapani said some of the concepts that were in Phil
Graham's design plan for downtown a few years ago are being considered in the streetscaping
plan.
. 2. Code Presentation
Ms. Tarapani gave a presentation regarding various site improvements and
developments that have occurred throughout the City over the past few years. She said
development review applications and site plan reviews have not declined. Permits have been
issued for projects worth more than $500,000 over a four-year period. She reviewed a
comparison of nearby cities regarding variance-type applications during the planning process
from the application deadline to the final approval.
3. 2003 Schedule
Ms. Tarapani referred to a handout regarding a 2003 Code Schedule, process for
submitting an application for level One, level Two, and level Three applications for review by
the DRC (Development Review Committee) and the CDB, and CDB meeting schedule.
Staff will request a comparison of construction plan approvals from the Development and
Neighborhood Services Department if one is available. Staff also will check with the department
regarding any plans to put the permit plan comments on their web site.
In response to a question, Ms. Tarapani said her department's biggest challenge is to
always work smarter, using the latest available technology, and to stop using technologies that
do not work well. She said the Planning Department also has experienced a staffing challenge.

It was remarked that at the last meeting, the COB elected to hold the election of officers
annually in April. Ms. Dougall-Sides said the COB's rules also were amended to reflect that
change. Consensus was to uphold that change.
Staff will research whether the COB must continue to annually complete a State or City
financial disclosure form. It was later determined that the COB only has to file the State form.
The Chair congratulated Member Doran for receiving the Person of the Year Award from
