Member Plisko requested this item be pulled from the Consent Agenda.
The rectangular-shaped 0.16-acre site is on the south side of Brightwater Drive,
approximately 100 feet east of Hamden Drive, along a highly developed area within Clearwater
beach and has frontage along Clearwater Bay. The site is within the Small Motel District of
Beach By Design, which provides for the redevelopment of Brightwater Drive with townhomes
and timeshares between two and four stories above parking.
Community Development 2005-02-15

.
The site currently is developed with a one-story overnight accommodation building of
nine units/rooms and is approximately 10 feet in height. The site has the appearance of one,
undefined, driveway along most of the front property line (Brightwater Drive), where parking
spaces straddle the property line (partially on-site and partially within the right-of-way) and "back
out" into the right-of-way. The site also contains a dock and two boat slips, to be retained for
resident and guest usage only and will not be sub-leased. All existing improvements (buildings,
pavement, walkways and decks) will be removed as part of the site's redevelopment.
The properties to the east, west and north have not yet been redeveloped. The property
to the west currently is developed with a two-story overnight accommodation use, and there
have been no redevelopment proposals for this site. The property to the north across
Brightwater Drive currently is developed with overnight accommodation uses and there have
been no redevelopment proposals for these sites. Property to the east currently is developed
with a one- and two-story overnight accommodation use and there have been no redevelopment
proposals for this site. Brightwater Drive, however, can be characterized as undergoing
significant redevelopment into attached dwellings (townhomes and condominiums).
.
The proposal includes constructing a three-story (over ground level parking) residential
condominium building; A total of four dwelling units are permitted for the subject property, .
based on the maximum of 30 units per acre. The proposal is for three units (one unit per floor).
The units will be 2,627 square-feet each (air-conditioned floor area). The proposal includes five
parking spaces under the building (five parking spaces are required at 1.5 spaces per unit).
Parking under the building will be open and accessible with no gates. The proposal meets all
required setbacks (front of 15 feet, side of 10 feet and rear of 20 feet). The proposal includes a
portion of the building within the sight visibility triangle, but is limited to one column on the west
side of the driveway, which is acceptable from a traffic safety standpoint. The proposed building
meets the 35-foot height standard (to roof deck). The request includes an increase to building
height of an additional three feet for perimeter parapets (from the roof deck). This increased
height for the perimeter parapets is to screen rooftop air conditioning and mechanical
equipment.
The proposal includes a reduction to lot area from 10,000 to 7,214 square-feet and a
reduction to lot width from 100 to 60 feet. This proposal includes only one platted lot, whereas
all other redevelopment proposals on Brightwater Drive have included multiple lots. Staff is
aware of only two circumstances on Brightwater Drive where there are single lots that have
been passed over through the redevelopment of adjacent properties. This proposal is different
in that this lot is in between other lots to the east and west that also have not yet been proposed
for redevelopment. The Small Motel District of Beach by Design recognizes that "although the
existing improvements may not represent the theoretical 'highest and best' use of this area, the
relatively good condition of most buildings and the economic value of the existing improvements
make it difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate significant land assembly, demolition and new
redevelopment." Beach by Design also recognizes Brightwater Drive as being "riper for
redevelopment." The applicant has attempted to acquire the adjacent properties, but has been
unsuccessful. Adjacent existing development on the properties to the east and west are also
larger motels. While staff prefers a larger parcel, where reductions to lot area and lot width
would not be necessary, staff also recognizes the circumstances of redevelopment proposals.
In this case, while the lot is small, the applicant is not maximizing the number of units allowable
and has designed a project, meeting setback requirements.

The Mediterranean-style of architecture of the building will include soft yellow stucco for
the main building color. The parapet walls will contain terra cotta barrel tile roofing. Banding,
windows, doorframes, railings and other architectural features will be painted white.
The landscape plan utilizes groundcover (giant green liriope), shrubs (pittosporum tobira
and ilex shilling) and trees (queen palm) at the front of the property. The applicant proposes
variegated ligustrum shrubs and queen palms along the east a"nd west property lines adjacent to
the existing .developments. .
The applicant is not proposing any signs with this development. Any future freestanding
sign should be a monument-style sign of a maximum four feet in height and designed to match
the exterior materials and color of the building. The proposal will utilize black barrels for trash
(one per unit). These will be stored in a trash room on the northwest corner of the building and
will be placed within a staging area adjacent to the public sidewalk on pickup days. All required
Parks and Recreation fees will be required to be paid prior to the issuance of any building
permits. On-site utility facilities (electric and communication lines) will be required to be placed
underground as part of the site redevelopment. Provisions for the placement of conduits for the
future undergrounding of existing aboveground utility facilities in the public right-of-way should
be completed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy in a manner acceptable to
the utility companies and the City.
.
The Development Review Committee reviewed the application and supporting materials
on November 12, and December 30, 2004. The Planning Department recommends approval of
the Flexible Development application to permit attached dwellings with a reduction to lot area
from 10,000 to 7,214 square-feet, a reduction to lot width from 100 to 60 feet, and an increase
to building height of an additional three feet for perimeter parapets (from roof deck - roof deck at
35-foot height) and to permit a building within the" visibility triangles, wider the provisions of
Section 2-803. B, for the site at 105 Brightwater Drive, with the following bases and conditions:
Bases for Approval: 1) The proposal complies with the Flexible Development criteria for
attached dwellings per Section 2-803.B; 2) The proposal is in compliance with other standards
in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per Section 3-913; and 3) The
development is compatible with the surrounding area and will enhance other redevelopment
efforts.
Conditions of Approval: 1) That the final design and color of the building be consistent
with the conceptual elevations submitted to, or as modified by, the CDB; 2) That boats moored
at the docks, lift andior slips be for the exclusive use by the residents andior guests of the
condominiums and not be permitted to be sub-leased separately from the condominiums; 3)
That any future freestanding sign be a monument-style sign a maximum four feet in height and
designed to match the exterior materials and color of the building; 4) That a condominium plat
be recorded prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy; 5) That all applicable
requirements of Chapter 39 of the Building Code be met related to seawall setbacks; 6) That all
proposed utilities (from the right-of-way to the proposed building) be placed underground.
Conduits for the future undergrounding of existing utilities within the abutting right-of-way shall
be installed along the entire site's street frontages prior to the issuance of a Certificate of "
Occupancy. The applicant's representative shall coordinate the size and number of conduits
with all affected utility providers (electric, phone, cable, etc.), with the exact location, size and
number of conduits to be approved by the applicant's engineer and the City's Engineering
. Department prior to the commencement of work; 7) That all Fire Department requirements be

met prior to the issuance of any permits; and 8) That all Parks and Recreation fees be paid prior
to the issuance of any permits.
Concerns were expressed that one parking space is wider than normal, accessing it would
require drivers to maneuver in the opposite direction, and vehicles cannot turn in a 20-foot radius.
Engineering Manager Scott Rice said the parking space meets Code requirements.
In response to questions, Senior Planner Wayne Wells said the building's color is softer
than depicted in the packets. Although the Fire Marshall has determined that many Brightwater
projects cannot proceed due to inadequate water pressure, this project is closer to Harnden and is
not affected by the problem. The Fire Marshall reviewed and approved project egress. A building
permit review is still necessary.
Discussion ensued regarding fire escapes/egresses, elevator orientation. overuse of the
property, and the lack of a handicapped parking space. Robert Szasz. applicant. said he never
has been required to include handicapped spaces in these types of developments. Planning
Director Cyndie Tarapani said the Building Official reviews those issues. Staff could confer with
the developer regarding this issue or the CDB could continue the case until the matter is resolved.
Member Johnson moved to continue Item E1, Case FLD2004-09065 for 105 Brightwater
Drive to March 15, 2005. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

Case: ANX2004-12020 - 3070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard Level Three Application
(Related to FLD2004-11081)
Owner/Applicant: City of Clearwater
Representative: Gina Clayton, City of Clearwater Planning Department. (100 S. Myrtle
Ave, Clearwater, FL 33755; phone and Street. Suite 930, Clearwater, FL 33755; phone:
727-562-4587; fax: 727-562-4865; email: qina.clavton@mvclearwater.com).
Location: 0.11-acre unnamed right-of-way 16 feet in width and 300 feet in length
adjacent to the north edge of property located at 3070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, at the
northern terminus of Bay Street and approximately 170 feet west of McMullen-Booth
Road.
Atlas Page: 244A.
Request:
(a) Annexation of 0.11-acre of road right~of-way to the City of Clearwater;
(b) Provide an initial Future Land Use Plan designation to the Commercial General (CG)
Category (City); and
(c) Provide an initial zoning designation to the Commercial (C) District (City).
Proposed Use: The site will remain vacant but will be incorporated into an existing
property currently used for overnight accommodations.

The subject site is the western half of an unnamed right-of-way located at the northern
terminus of Bay Street. approximately 170 feet west of McMullen-Booth Road. The right-of-way
is 0.11 acre in area and abuts the north side of property located at 3070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard.

requesting that the City process this annexation so the unimproyed right-of-way can be vacated
and incorporated into the hotel property. The developer plans to construct another hotel,
consisting of 55 overnight accommodation units, on the Fairfield Inn site (FLD2004-11081).
The right-of-way is contiguous with the existing City boundaries to the south and east;
therefore, the pro pORed annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes with regard to voluntary
annexation. The Planning Department is requesting that an initial Future Land Use Plan
designation of Commercial General (CG) and a consistent zoning designation of the
Commercial (C) District be provided for the right-of-way.
The proposed annexation does not need City of Clearwater services, even though all
services, including sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and emergency medical services
could serve the property without any adverse effect on the service level. The proposed
annexation is consistent with both the City's Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with Florida
law regarding municipal annexation.
Based on the above analysis, the Planning Department recommends approval of: 1) the
annexation of 0.11-acre of unnamed right-af-way into the City of Clearwater; 2) the Commercial
General (CG) Category pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan; and 3) the initial zoning
designation to the Commercial (C) zoning district pursuant to the City's 'Community
Development Code.

Case: FLD2004-11081 - 3070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard (Related to ANX2004-12020)
Owners: RB-3 Associates, Randall Benderson 1993-1 Trust and WR-I Associates Ltd.
Applicant: Benderson Development Company, Inc.
Representative: Housh Ghovaee, Northside Engineering Services, Inc. (601 Cleveland

pavement), an increase to building height from 25 to 48.33 feet (to mid-point of pitched
roof) with an additional 12.083 feet for architectural embellishments (above the mid-point
of pitched roof) and a deviation to allow direct access to a major arterial street, as a
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under the provisions of Section 2-704.C;
(2) Vacation of a portion of the Bay Street right-of-way to the west and a portion of the

The 4.578 acres is on the northwest corner of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and McMullen-
Booth Road. The site has approximately 465 linear feet of frontage on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard
and 400 linear feet on McMullen-Booth Road. The site currently includes the south eight feet of
the eastern 160 feet of an alley along the north property line that has been annexed and
vacated. The western portion of the platted alley right-of-way currently is located in
unincorporated Pinellas County. The Bay Street right-of-way is located to the west of this
parcel. The parcel currently is developed with the Fairfield Inn overnight accommodation use
with 127 rooms/units.
A retention pond abuts to the north, with the eastern portion within the City and the
western portion in unincorporated Pinellas County. A two-story, over ground-level parking,
office building is located to the west. The area north of Carolina Avenue, west of the subject
site, is zoned Low Medium Density Residential District and is developed with detached
dwellings. The area south of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard was formerly a mobile home park, has
been bought by the City, and is intended as a park.
The proposal includes construction of a new four-story building in the southwest portion of
the site for a 55-room/unit overnight accommodation use (Comfort Suites). The southern portion
of the site currently is undeveloped. Additional parking will be constructed in this southern area
for hotel guests.
Related to this application is the requested annexation of the western portion of a platted
alley adjacent to the subject property. The eastern 160 feet of this platted alley already has been
annexed into the City and vacated. The applicant also is seeking to vacate this western portion of
the alley to the north. By rules of vacation, this site will obtain the southern eight feet (half of the
alley width). The applicant also is seeking to vacate a portion of the Bay Street right-of-way to the
west. The site plan indicates, through this vacation, that this site will obtain the east 30 feet of the
right-of-way.
The proposal includes a reduction to the front (south) setback from 25 to 15 feet (to
pavement) and a reduction to the side (north) setback from 10 to 9.5 feet (to existing pavement).
With the construction of the new overnight accommodation use (Comfort Suites), additional
parking spaces are requ:red to be provided. The applicant proposes the new pavement edge 15
feet from the Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard property line. This proposed 15-foot setback coincides with
the required 15-foot landscape buffer along this arterial roadway. Staff included in the advertised
request the reduction to the setback along the north property line from 10 to 9.5 feet (to existing
pavement), as the application approved to construct the Fairfield Inn (FLS 00-07-46 and FL 00-12-
64) indicated compliance with the 10-foot required setback. Should the balance of the alley be
annexed and vacated, this existing setback would then meet Code requirements.
A deviation to allow direct access to a major arterial street has Deen included as part of
this request. This site has been granted a deviation to this direct access restriction previously for
the Fairfield Inn under FL 00-12-64, approved by the Community Development Board on February
20, 2001. A driveway access was constructed and is being retained with this request. Since this
request is to construct an additional overnight accommodation use on the property, which carries.
the same access restriction, staff has included the deviation in the request. There are no new or
additional driveways proposed on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. The granting of a deviation for this
request is appropriate.
The site plan indicates 130 existing parking spaces on-site. Site inspection reveals that
north of the existing Fairfield Inn some 90-degree parking spaces have been modified to angled

.
.
parking, which reduces the amount of existing parking. The proposal includes constructing an
additional 53 parking spaces on the southern portion of the site to accommodate the new use,
which will exceed the minimum requirement by one space. Prior to the issuance of any permits
for the Comfort Suites, the site plan must demonstrate required parking for the entire site is being
provided.
The proposal includes an increase to building height from 25 to 48.33 feet (to mid-point of
pitched roof), with an additional 12.083 feet for architectural embellishments (above the mid-point
of pitched roof). The main roof for Code height determination is a pitched roof. Height is
measured to the mid-point of the pitched roof. The Fairfield Inn was granted a height increase
from 25 to 50 feet (to the flat roof deck). The requested 48.33 feet appears compatible with that
existing on the property and with the office building to the west. This pitched roof does have a
parapet as a vertical extension of the exterior walls that is lower than the mid-point of the pitched
roof. The proposal has been advertised for the additional 12.083 feet for architectural
embellishments (above the mid-point of pitched roof), which is a building projection above the
lobby area. While this architectural embellishment projection is limited in location and size to the
rest of the building and may not be disproportionate to the character of the building, it may allow
an unnecessary increase in attached signage area that the applicant has not sufficiently justified.
The Flexible Development case approved in 2001 included the condition "That any
proposed, freestanding sign be limited to six feet in height above the finished grade of the front
line of the parcel unless part of a Comprehensive Sign Program, as required by Code." There is
an existing monument type sign adjacent to Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, east of the driveway. A
Comprehensive Sign Program was approved for this site, but only dealt with an increase from 24
to 45 square-feet of sign area for attached signage for the Fairfield Inn building. While no . . .
additional freestanding signage is proposed with this request, a Comprehensive Sign Program
would be required for any such additional freestanding signage, which should also be similarly
restricted to a monument type sign a maximum of six feet high. The building elevation drawings
for this proposal indicate two attached signs on the east elevation and one attached sign on the
south elevation. Code provisions only permit one attached sign per business of a maximum of 24
square-feet. The large attached signs are approximately 104.5 square-feet in area. A
Comprehensive Sign Program will be required for at least the attached signage shown, which will
evaluate the appropriate number and size of attached signs.
The site today is well. landscaped. While the southern portion of the site will be
redeveloped to provide for the new building and parking, it is the intention of the proposal to retain
the existing landscaping along Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. Prior to the issuance of any permits, the
landscape plan will need to be revised to ensure the provision of required interior landscape area,
the indication of existing tree canopies and the appropriate location of plant materials.
Additionally, Staff is concerned with construction adjacent to the 27-inch oak tree just east of the
proposed building and north of the porte cochere. Care must be demonstrated on construction
drawings to ensure no grade cuts occurring under this tree's canopy, the proposed sidewalk being
constructed "on grade" with a monolithic curb and the provision of a W.A.N.E. aeration system. A
tree preservation plan is also required prior to the issuance of any permits.
All applicable Code requirements and criteria including, but not limited to, General .
Applicability criteria (Section 3-913) afld Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria
(Section 2-704.C) have been met.
The Development Review Committee reviewed the application and supporting materials
on December 30, 2004. The Planning Department recommends approval of the (1) Flexible

building height from 25 to 48.33 feet (to mid-point of pitched roof) with an additional 12.083 feet
for architectural embellishments (above the mid-point of pitched roof) and a deviation to allow
direct access to a major arterial street, as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project, under
the provisions of Section 2-704.C; (2) Vacation of a portion of the Bay Street right-of-way to the
west and a portion of the alley to the north for the site at 3070 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, with the
following bases and conditions:
Bases for Approval: 1) The proposal complies with the Flexible Development criteria as
a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project per Section 2-704.C; 2) The proposal is in
compliance with other standards in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per
Section 3-913; and 3) The development is compatible with the surrounding area and will
enhance other redevelopment efforts.
Conditions of Approval: 1) That this approval be subject to the annexation of the alley to
the north by City Council prior to the issuance of any permits; 2) That this approval be subject
to the vacation of those portions of the Bay Street to the west and alley to the north rights-of-
way by City Council prior to the issuance of any permits; 3) That the overnight accommodation
use of this property meet the definition of the Community Development Code, with owner and
guest stays not to exceed 30 days and where occupancy of rooms/units arise from a rental
agreement, other agreement or the payment of consideration. At the request of the City
Manager or designee, the records of the business shall be made available for examination to
determine whether the length of stay complies with these provisions. Failure to provide such
records upon request shall be grounds for imposition of appropriate fines, revocation of the
occupational license and/or any other enforcement afforded by law or by City regulations. A
license must be obtained and maintained from the Florida Department of Business and
Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants. A registration lobby operated 24
hours a day, seven days a week, shall be maintained. This development shall not be deemed
attached dwellings with individual dwelling units, nor shall rooms/units qualify for homestead
exemption or home or business occupational licenses; 4) That compliance be demonstrated on
building plans prior to the issuance of building permits indicating the number of rooms/units
approved under this application will not be exceeded. Hotel rooms/units shall not incorporate
lockout rooms/units with separate corridor doors; 5) That, prior to the issuance of any permits,
the site plan be revised to demonstrate actual existing parking spaces and the provision of

Presenter: Mark T. Parry, Planner III.
This 0.39-acre site is at the northwest corner of Court Street and Prospect Avenue within
the Downtown Town Lake Residential character district. An alley (public right-of-way) 15 feet in
width borders the site on the north. The surrounding area is characterized by a variety of uses
including retail, office, restaurant and governmental uses. A vehicle service establishment (a
use prohibited by the Downtown Plan) is located within a 1,529 square-foot, one-story building
at the far northwest corner of the site. The remainder of the site is almost completely paved
with a concrete parking lot. The site is accessed via four driveways with two each along Court
Street and Prospect Avenue.
The proposal includes locating 13 dwelling units within five, three story buildings 30 feet
in height ranging between 1,100 and 1,132 square-feet in area. Two of the buildings (located
along Prospect Avenue) will contain one dwelling unit each. One building (centrally located on
the north side of the site) will contain three dwelling units and the remaining two buildings (one
along the west side of the site the other along Court Street) will contain four dwelling units each.
Parking will be provided with two-car garages beneath each unit (26 parking spaces). All
existing pavement, driveways and structures will be removed with this proposal.
The proposed site plan locates two buildings in the sight visibility triangles on the north
side of the site at the intersection of the driveway arid the unnamed alley. These buildings are
located within four feet of a one-way (eastbound only) unnamed alley. Adequate distance will
be provided between the edge of the building and the alley for visibility. In addition, the alley is
lightly used with the heaviest use anticipated to be from this development, further reducing any
potential traffic conflicts. The site design will not have a detrimental effect on adjacent property
or safety and provides for a more urban style of development consistent with the Downtown
Plan.
The proposal includes the provision of perimeter landscaping around the overall site in
addition to foundation planting around the proposed building. The landscape plan should
enhance the aesthetics of the site.
This proposal includes the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) of two units to this site
from 608/610/611 Harold Court, which currently is the subject of a pending Level One Flexible
Standard application (case FLS2004-07054) to permit 16 attached dwellings where 18 units are
permitted. The Downtown Clearwater Redevelopment Plan allows the use of TDRs provided
both the sender and receiving sites are located within the Downtown Plan area. The proposal is
in compliance with the Plan policy regarding TDRs and the standards and criteria set forth in
Community Development Code Sections 4-1402 and 4-1403.
The proposai also includes platting (see case PL T2004-00008) the site into 13 separate
townhome lots accessed via one driveway on the east side of the site along Prospect Avenue
and one from the alley on the north side of the site. The design of the building is consistent with
the intent and direction of the Design Guidelines of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment

.
Plan. The buildings along Prospect Avenue and Court Street will present their primary facades
towards those rights-of-way. The remaining buildings will be oriented inwards to the site. The
proposed materials will be stucco, metal railings and standing seam metal roofs. Architectural
details include standing seam metal awnings, raised window trim and banding.
Outstanding Code enforcement issues associated with this site include non-compliant
signage, general overgrovvth of plant material and weeds, storage of inoperative vehicles, poorly
maintained building, grass parking, parking areas in poor repair and outdoor storage. These
issues will be eliminated with the redevelopment of this site.
The site is within the Town Lake Residential character district of the Clearwater
Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The Plan recommends that this area be redeveloped as a
residential district with neighborhood commercial uses. Residential development south of
Cleveland Street should be oriented toward Town Lake but along major streets, development
should be oriented toward the street to maintain an urban and pedestrian environment. This
strategy has been identified as a way to stimulate the redevelopment of property in the area and
to reposition the Downtown as a viable economic entity in the region.
The Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan establishes criteria against which
proposals to be located within the Plan boundaries are measured and are discussed further in
this report. The proposal is consistent with the Vision, Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan including: 1) Vision: Downtown will be an integrated
community with a mix of retail, residential, office and recreational opportunities. The
development of a variety of residential projects to attract new residents to Downtown is critical to
the success of a revitalized Downtown. This project will eliminate a prohibited use. (vehicle
service) within the Town Lake Residential character district. It replaces it with an urban-style
residential development with buildings located along and oriented towards all abutting streets,
which furthers this vision statement; 2) Vision: Quality urban design is critical to new
construction and renovated buildings. The proposed buildings incorporate a contemporary style
of architecture utilizing materials such as stucco and hipped, standing seam metal roofs and
attractive earth-tone coiors which will further this vision statement; 3) Vision: An adequate
parking supply must be available coterminous with new uses. The proposal includes 13
dwelling units and provides 26 parking spaces (two parking spaces per dwelling unit) on-site
where 20 are required and furthers this vision statement; 4) Vision: The elimination of blighting
conditions and the revitalization of the existing and expanded CRA are critical to the future
health of Downtown: A vehicle service establishment, which is a prohibited use within the Town
Lake Residential character district, occupies the site. The site is somewhat deteriorated and the
proposal will eliminate the existing blighting conditions and furthers this vision statement; 5)
Goal 1: Downtown shall be a place that attracts people for living, employment and recreation.
The City shall encourage rodevelopment that will attract residents and visitors to Downtown as a
recreation, entertainment and shopping destination. This project will provide five attractive new
buildings housing 13 dwelling units furthering this goal of creating a vibrant downtown; 6)
Obiective 1A: All development within Downtown shall further the goals, objectives and policies
of this Plan and shall be consistent with the character districts, the design guidelines and the
Downtown zoning district. The proposal provides 13 attached dwellings as part of an attractive
development which replaces a prohibited use within the Downtown District (vehicle sales); 7)
Obiective 1 G: Residential uses in Downtown are encouraged with a variety of densities, housing
types and affordability consistent with the character districts. The proposal ihcludes 13 attached
dwelling units ranging in price between $205,000 and $229,000. The units will be between

surrounding street pattern. Four existing driveways will be replaced with two driveways with one
each along Prospect Avenue and the alley along the north side of the site; 9) Obiective 3D:
Redevelopment is encouraged to create a vibrant Downtown environment containing a variety
of building forms and styles that respect Downtown's character and heritage. The proposal
includes five new, well-designed buildings utilizing a modern style of architecture incorporating
high-quality materials and an attractive earth-tone color; 10) Policy 1: The design guidelines

which open to that alley but do provide an extensive use of windows and balconies; 11) Policy
2: The character of each district shall be reinforced through the site plan and design review
process. Projects shall be consistent with and contribute positively to the vision of the character
district in which it is located. The proposed development will contribute positively to the vision of
the character district by providing a high quality, attractive residential use and eliminating a
prohibited use (vehicle service); 12) Policy 3: The design of all projects in Downtown shall make
meaningful contributions to the pedestrian environment through site and building design. The
proposal includes five attractive three-story buildings, in scale with other buildings in the area,
located directly along Court Street. Extensive landscaping will be provided which will further
enhance the site; 13) Policy 7: Transfer of Development Rights are permitted for all projects to
assist development provided that both the sending and receiving sites are located in the
Downtown Plan area. Approval of Transfer of Development Rights on a site may allow an
increase in the development potential in excess of the maximum development potential of the
applicable character district. The number of development rights transferred to any site with a
Future Land Use Plan designation of Central Business District (CBD) are not limited, however,
transfers to sites with a designation other than CBD shall not exceed the applicable maximum
development potential by 20 percent. All uses of transfer of development rights shall ensure that
the receiving site remains consistent with the vision of the applicable character district. The
proposal includes the transfer of two dwelling units from 608/610/611 Harold Court, which is in
the South Gateway District and meets all the requirements of Sections 4-1401 - 1403 of the
Community Development Code. The transfer of two dwelling units to the subject site (830 Court
Street) will result in a more viable residential development; 14) Policy 11: Nonconforming uses
are encouraged to relocate to a zoning district that permits their use. The City shall explore all
incentives and planning tools that will assist in the relocation of nonconforming uses. Use of the
Community Development Code tool known as "Termination of Status as a Nonconformity" is not
permitted within the Downtown Plan area. The proposal will result in the elimination of a
prohibited use (vehicle service) and the establishment of 13 attached dwelling units in an
attractive townhome development; and 15) Policy 24: The City shall give priority to sidewalk
construction within Downtown that enhances pedestrian linkages and/or completes a continuous
sidewalk system on all streets. The proposal includes Code-compliant sidewalks along Court
Street and Prospect Avenue.

FDOT permits or letters of exemption be provided prior to the issuance of any permits; and 5)
That any Traffic Impact fee be paid prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Senior Planner Mark Parry said the applicant opposes Condition #2. Ms. Tarapani said
the Code requires all applications for the same property to be processed simultaneously. In this
case, the developer did not submit a signage proposal with the application.
Mark Jonnatti, representative, said the owner recently leased this property for a five-year
term. He said the site is nonconforming, with wall-to-wall asphalt. He said the applicant plans
to provide low cost dental work and has received a permit for minor interior remodeling. The
applicant also has pulled a sign permit. He said the existing sign is 5 x 9 feet. The applicant
proposes to add a small break room/conference room, but first must bring the property into
compliance before changes can be made. He said the applicant proposes a buffer along Court
Street and Missouri Avenue. Mr. Jonnatti said the applicant was unaware of the signage issue
until Thursday. The applicant's landlord will not permit him to remove signs, therefore he cannot
proceed with the proposed project. Mr. Jonnatti requested the CDS approve the application
without Condition #2, as the project would result in significant improvements to the site.
Ms. Tarapani said as this site is being redeveloped, signage must conform to current
Code. Assistant City Attorney Leslie Dougall-Sides said the applicable section of Code is
strictly enforced.
In response to a quesUon, Mr. Jonnatti said even if the owner/landlord permitted the
removal of signs, the applicant still opposes Condition #2. He said the applicant has permits to
renovate the building and replace the sign faces. Ms. Tarapani said permits are not required to
change out sign faces. Mr. Jonnatti said the applicant knows he cannot construct the addition
without site approvals.
In response to a question, Ms. Tarapani said the change of use from retail sales and
service to office use affects sign compliance. Mr. Jonnatti disagreed, stating the property
previously had an office use.
Discussion ensued with a suggestion that substandard sized parking spaces be
increased, as the space sizes are inconsistent. Ms. Tarapani said the number of parking
spaces appear to be adequate for a dental office use.

Item Pulled from Consent Agenda
Case: FLD2004-01 005 - 1501 S. Ft. Harrison Avenue Level Two Application
Owner: Florence Panteles
Applicant/Representative: Gordon F. Killion, (1747 Winfield Road North, Clearwater,
FL 33756; phone: 727-278-7192; fax: 727-443-4424; email: Qfkillion1@verizon.net).
Location: 0.172 acre on the southeast corner of the South Fort Harrison and Woodlawn
Street intersection.
Atlas Page: 3138.
Zoning District: Commercial (C).
Request: Flexible Development approval to re-establish a major vehicle service use with
a front (west) setback reduction from 25 to zero feet (to existing pavement), an east side
setback reduction from 10 to zero feet (to existing pavement), a south side setback
reduction from 10 to zero feet (to proposed pavement), as a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project under the provisions of Section 2-704 and as a Comprehensive
Landscape Program under the provisions of Section 3-1202.G.
Proposed Use: Auto body shop.

Presenter: Mark T. Parry, Planner III.
Member Coates requested this item be pulled from the Consent Agenda.
The 0.172-acre site is at the southeast corner of South Fort Harrison Avenue and
Woodlawn Street and contains a vacant 1,956 square-foot, one-story building. The building is
13 feet from the front (west) property line along south Fort Harrison Avenue, one foot from the
front (north) property line along Woodlawn Street, 15 feet from the side (east) property line and
31 feet from the site (south) setback. The building has been built to house this specific use and
has historically been used since at least 1997 as an automotive service garage. The
occupational license for the automotive service garage expired in 2001. The site is almost
completely paved and can be accessed directly along South Fort Harrison Avenue or Woodlawn
Street. The site and building have undergone some deterioration.
The proposal is to re-establish a major vehicle service use (auto body repair) within the
existing building. Major vehicle service is not a permitted use within the Commercial District,
and this request is being processed as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project for this
reason. Again, this building has been designed for this type use.
The proposal includes setback reductions along the front (west) along South Fort
Harrison Avenue and sides (east and south). The site is small and slightly irregular in shape.
The building generally was constructed parallel to South Fort Harrison Avenue, with irregular
Community Development 2005-02-15

.
setbacks along Woodlawn Street. The reduction in setbacks to existing pavement and the
existing building will provide an economically viable project without a significant reduction in the
quality of the site, building or landscape design. Without the setback reductions it would be
difficult to develop the site with any use.
The primary access to the site will be limited to a one-way driveway with ingress located
along Woodlawn Street at the northwest corner of the site and egress along South Fort Harrison
Avenue at the southwest corner of the site. A second access point is located along Woodlawn
Street at the northeast corner of the site, providing access to two parking spaces. These two
spaces will back out into Woodlawn Street. Due to the low volume of traffic along Woodlawn
Street, the City's Traffic Engineer has approved this parking arrangement. The proposal
includes five on-site parking spaces. With the removal of a significant amount of asphalt on-site
and within the rights-of-way, parking of vehicles should be prohibited from the rights-of-way
areas adjacent to this site.
The proposal also includes the removal of a significant amount of asphalt in order to
provide landscaping. Landscaping will be provided along the front (north) property along
Woodlawn Street and South Fort Harrison Avenue, and along the sides (east and south) of the
site. The landscape plan includes a mix of plants including Dahoon Holly, Live Oak, Indian
Hawthorne and Sable Palm.
.
A sign package has not been submitted wit~ this application, however, any signage will
need to be architecturally integrated into the design of the site (freestanding) and building.
Channel letters should be used should attached signage be requested. Should a freestanding
sign be desired, a monument-style sign a maximum of six feet high will be required. The
proposal includes a dumpster that will be moved to a staging area on pickup days. The location
of the dumpster enclosure and staging area will need to meet the requirements of the Solid
Waste Department prior to the issuance of any permits. All applicable Code requirements and
criteria including, but not limited to, General Applicability criteria (Section 3-913) and
Comprehensive lnfill Redevelopment Project criteria (Section 2-704.C) have been met.
The Development Review Committee reviewed the application and supporting materials
on December 30, 2004. The Planning Department recommends approval to re-establish a
major vehicle service use with a front (west) setback reduction along South Fort Harrison
Avenue from 25 feet to zero feet (to existing pavement), a side (east) setback reduction from 10
feet to zero feet (to existing pavement), a side (south) setback reduction from 10 feet to zero
feet (to proposed pavement), as a Comprehensive Infill RedeveloRment Project under the
provisions of Section 2-704.C. and a reduction in landscape buffer as a Comprehensive
Landscape Program, under the provisions of Section 3-1202.G, for the site at 1501 South Fort
Harrison Road with the following revised bases and conditions (revised since staff report
originally sent to the CDB):
Bases for Approval: 1) The proposal complies with the Flexible Development criteria as
a Comprehensive InfillRedevelopment Project per Section 2-704.C; 2) The proposal is in
compliance with other standards in the Code including the General Applicability Criteria per
Section 3-913; and 3) The proposal is compatible with the surrounding area and will enhance
redevelopment efforts.
.
Conditions of Approval: (*condition added subsequent to this report being sent to CDB):
1) That a revised landscape plan, acceptable to the Planning staff, be submitted prior to the
issuance of any permits, including the number and location of plant materials and the location of

.
sod; 2) That all signage meet the requirements of Code and be architecturally-integrated with
the design of the building with regard to proportion, color, material and finish as part of a final
sign package submitted to and approved by Staff prior to the issuance of any sign permits which
includes: a) All signs fully dimensioned and coordinated in terms of including the same color and
font style and size; b) All signs be constructed of the highest quality materials which are
coordinated with the colors, materials and architectural style of the building; c) All attached signs
consist of channel letters; and d) Any freestanding sign be designed as a monument-style at a
maximum height of six feet; 3) That, prior to the issuance of any permits, the site plan be
revised to indicate the location of the dumpster enclosure and staging area, meeting the
requirements of the Solid Waste Department; 4) That the parking of vehicles be prohibited from
the rights-of-way areas adjacent to this site; 5) That all Fire Department requirements be met
prior to the issuance of any permits; 6) That an approved DOT permit for driveway
modification/relocation be provided to City staff prior to the issuance of any permits; and 7) That,
prior to the issuance of any permits, the site plan be revised to reflect the ingress only from
South Fort Harrison Avenue at the existing curb cut and egress only to Woodlawn Street,
revised driveway connection on South Fort Harrison Avenue and revised accessible route from
the building to the public sidewalk.*
In response to a concern regarding onsite curbs, Mr. Parry said the applicant's
representative had met with FOOT (Florida Department of Transportation) regarding a permit to
alter the driveway on South Fort Harrison Avenue. As stated in the staff report, FOOT indicated
the existing curb cut must be used and will not permit the driveway to be moved or widened.
Based on this requirement, the site plan will be modified and the traffic pattern will allow ingress
only from South Fort Harrison and egress only to Woodlawn Street. The route from the building to
the public sidewalk also will be modified.
Discussion ensued with comments that this location may not be appropriate for this use,
the proposed use is not permitted, regardless of tradeoffs to clean up the property, and the COB
should review the final site plan prior to voting.
Mr. Parry said development of this site would be difficult as it is less than 7,500 square-
feet. Any use will require flexible standard review and COB approval. Only very small office uses
that generate little traffic would fit. In response to a question, Mr. Parry said staff has determined
that an auto body shop would not generate much traffic. Junk cars would not be permitted on site.
The site's location on a major thoroughfare makes the business easy to see, so tradeoffs exist.
The dumpster must be oriented for easy access and will be located in the building's front corner.
Florence Panteles, applicant, said an auto body shop was on this site for over 25 years.
She said she wants to open an auto body shop and leave it to her sons. She said FOOT had
denied her request to install a traffic light in front. Ms. Penteles said she is willing to comply with
the Code with respect to landscaping, parking spaces, signage, paint colors, etc.
Gordon Killion, representative, said the applicant has worked with staff since December
and has submitted four site plans. He said last Friday, FOOT informed the applicant regarding
driveway issues. As a result, the driveway will be aligned to meet FDOT requirements. He said
there is no other place for the dumpster. The applicant also plans to replace 1,500 feet of asphalt
with landscaping. He said the applicant does not wish to delay this project. He said the City
Engineer approved the ingress on Fort Harrison. He said the site has not generated revenue for
two years.

(a) Annexation of 0.22 acre to the City of Clearwater;
(b) Land Use Plan amendment from Residential Urban (RU) Category (County) to
Residential Urban (RU) Category (City of Clearwater); and
(c) Rezoning from R-3, Single-Family Residential District (County) to Low Medium

.
This annexation involves a 0.224-acre parcel at the northeast corner of SR 590 and
Grove Drive. The property is within an enclave and is contiguous with existing City boundaries
to the east and south; therefore, the proposed annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes
with regard to voluntary annexation. The applicant is requesting this annexation to receive
sewer and solid waste service. It is proposed that the property have a Future Land Use Plan
designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The applicant receives water service from Pinellas County. Sewer service will be
provided by the City of Clearwater and capacity for the project is available for this utility. The
closest sewer line is in the adjacent Grove Street right-of-way. The applicant has paid the
required sewer impact and assessment fees and is aware of the costs to extend City sewer
service to the property.
The proposed annexation can be served by City of Clearwater services, including
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and emergency medical services without any adverse
effect on the serVice level. The proposed annexation is consistent with both the City's
Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with Florida law regarding municipal annexation and
eliminates an enclave.
Based on the above analysis, the Planning Department recommends approval of 1) the
annexation of 0.224 acre to the City of Clearwater; 2) the Residential Urban (RU) Category
pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan; and 3) the Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR) zoning district pursuant to the City's Community Development Code.

The subject property is at the southwest corner of Sherwood Street and Ridge Avenue.
The subject site is 0.182 acre in area and currently is vacant. It was formerly occupied by a
single-family detached dwelling. The applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive
City sewer and solid waste service. The property is contiguous with the existing City boundaries
to the east, south, and west; therefore, the proposed annexation is consistent with Florida
Statutes with regard to voluntai)' annexation. It is proposed that the abutting Sherwood Street
right-of-way not currently within the City limits also be annexed. It is proposed that the property
have a Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The property currently receives water service from the City of Clearwater. The City will
provide sanitary sewer service as well and capacity for the project is available for this utility.
The closest sewer line is located at the southwest corner of the site. The applicant is aware of
the costs to extend service to this site and has paid the sanitary sewer impact and assessment
fees.
The Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan and the Countywide Plan designate the site
as Residential Low (RL). It is the purpose of this category to depict those areas of the County
that are now developed, or appropriate to be developed, in a low density residential manner;
and to recognize such areas as primarily well-suited for residential uses that are consistent with
the low density, non-intensive qualities and natural resource characteristics of such areas.
Residential is the primary use in this plan category up to a maximum of five (5) dwelling units
per acre. Secondary uses include Residential Equivalent; Institutional; Transportation/Utility;
Public Educational Facility; Ancillary Non-Residential and Recreation/Open Space.
The proposed annexation can be served by City of Clearwater services including
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and emergency medical services without any adverse
effect on the service level. The proposed annexation is consistent with both the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Florida law regarding municipal annexation through its adjacency with
existing City boundaries.
.
Based on the above analysis, the Planning Department recommends approval of: 1) the
annexation of the property located at 1617 Sherwood Street, along with the abutting Sherwood
Street right-of-way; 2) the Residential Low (RL) Category pursuant to the City's Comprehensive
Plan; and 3) the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) zoning district pursuant to the City's

F. DIRECTOR'S ITEMS:
1. Time Extension - FLD2002-09030, 650 Bay Esplanade, LaRisa
On November 19, 2002, the CDB approved Case FLD2002-09030 with six conditions for
the site at 650 Bay Esplanade for the construction of 28 attached dwellings (condominium). The
request was for Flexible Development approval to reduce the required side (north) setback from
10 to five feet (to pavement), reduce the front (west) setback along Poinsettia Avenue from 15
to zero feet (to building), reduce the front (east) setback along Bay Esplanade from 15 to zero
feet (to building), reduce the front (south) setback along Bay Esplanade from 15 to three feet (to
pavement) and increase the height from 50 to 65 feet (as measured from base flood elevation),
under the provisions of Section 2-803.
.
On March 18, 2003, the CDB approved a revised application with six conditions to
clarify/correct the requested height of a building previously approved (clarified the increase to
height from 50 to 69.5 feet [as measured from base flood elevation]).
By letter dated February 27,2004, the Community Development Coordinator approved a
one-year time extension to submit for a building permit for this project until March 18, 2005. All
prior conditions of approval from the CDB were included in the Development Order for the time
extension.
Section 4-407 of the Code provides the ability for the CDB to approve one additional
time extension for a time period not to exceed one year. On February 1, 2005, the applicant
submitted a request for such additional time extension. This Code Section requires the CDB
receive the time extension request within the period of validity (which this request meets) and
provides the following review standards:
1. "shall be for good cause shown and documented in writing." "Good causes may
include but are not limited to an unexpected national crisis (acts of war, significant
downturn in the national economy, etc.), excessive weather-related delays, and the like."
Response: The applicant has provided their reasons for good cause in their letter from
Troy J. Perdue dated .January 24, 2005, and from Dennis E. O'Keefe dated February 1,
2005.
.
2. "The Community Development Board may also consider whether significant
progress on the project is being made and whether or not there are pending or approved
Code amendments which would significantly affect the project."
Community Development 2005-02-15

.
.
.
Response: The site is located within the "Old Florida District" of Beach by Design. The
Planning Staff is conducting a study of this district with regard to existing and ongoing
development patterns. The study will not be completed until early summer of 2005 and
will not be acted upon by the City Council until early fall 2005. Since the study has not
yet been completed it is too early to ascertain whether any Code amendments that may
result from this study will significantly affect this project. Therefore, this criterion is not
applicable.
Conditions: 1) That the density of the site be limited to 28 dwelling units (30 dwelling units
per acre); 2) That the final design of the building be consistent with the conceptual elevations
submitted or as modified by the CDB; 3) That the height of the building be limited to 69.5 feet as
measured from base flood elevation; 4) That should addressing stormwater issues result in a site
plan which is significantly different from the one approved by the Community Development Board,
the site plan must be resubmitted to the Board for review; 5) That all Fire Department
requirements be met, prior to the issuance of any permits; and 6) That all signage comply with
Code; and 7) That the time extension valid be for a period of time not to exceed seven months
from the date of this time extension approval (September 15, 2005).
Member Plisko moved to approve the requested time extension from the original date of
March 18, 2004, to the new date of September 15, 2005, for the project approved under Case
FLD2002-09030 for the site at 650 Bay Esplanade, with the conditions listed by staff. The
motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Other
Ms. Tarapani said if approved by City Council, the PPC (Pine lias Planning Council) will
assist the City with: 1) Review of annexation applications; 2) Code Review; and 3) Perform a fee
study.
Ms. Dougall-Sides said in the case, Cepcot v. City, the Circuit Court had found the
applicant met all conditions for approval and remanded the matter back to the CDB for appropriate
action. The court also indicated some areas of the Code could less ambiguous. Staff will work on
the language.
It was commented that the COB Workshop went well. Staff will send letters of thanks for
their presentations at the workshop to the cities of St. Petersburg and Largo.
