ORDINANCE NO.: 8540-14
REQUEST: Review, and recommendation to the City Council, of an
amendment to the Community Develupment Code.
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
BACKGROUND:
On January 21, 2003, the Coinyriunity DcvcloprncnL Board (CDB) approved it I-Icxibic
Development application for Mort-on Plant Hospital to act as a master plan of sorts for the
hospital campus. However, over the years, this method of approval has been found to be lacking
in flexibility from a hospital planning perspective and staff and the hospital have been searching
for a new method to facilitate current and future development of the hospital campus, without
requiring public hearings to make even slight amendments to a prior approval. As such, staff is
proposing amendments to the Community Development Code (CDC) that would create two now
uses within the Institutional (1) District. Planned Medical Campus and Planned Medical Campus
Project.
Additionally, as valet parking has become a more commonplace practice in overnight
accommodations uses on Clearwater Beach, staff, as well as some applicants, believe that it
would he mutually advantageous to establish provisions, within the CDC clarifying how valet
parking should be used.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 8540-14 amends several sections of the CDC. The following is a brief
analysis of each aspect of the proposed amendment.
I . Chart 2-100 1pages 2-4 oj'Ordinance]
The proposed amendment removes Outdoor Retail Sales, Display and/or Storage as a use in
the Industrial, Research and Technology (IRT) District and replaces it with Outdoor Storage,
Article 2, Division 13, CDC, atready includes Outdoor Storage as a minimum standard and
flexible standard use and this amendment will bring the Permitted Uses Matrix into
agreement with the District.
Additionally, the Chart will be amended to list Planned Medical Campus and Planned
Medical Campus Pro.ject (both new uses) as permissibie uses, in the Institutional (1) District.

The proposed amendment adds a, footnote to 'Fables 2-202, 2-302, 2-402, and 2-502 that
further illustrates what is already established in the definition of Community Residential
Homes, which is that, said homes shall not be located within 1,000 feet of one another. This
separation requirement originates from the Florida Statutes.
3. Planned Medical Campus and Planned Medical Campus Project f
'pages 6-11 t?/'
Ordinance]
The proposed amendment establishes two new uses within the Institutional (1) District:
Plannud Mc:diL;al Carnpus and Planned Medical Campus Project. The Planned Mcdical
Campus is established as a Level Two, Flexible Development use and is intended to act as a
11 master plan" of sorts for large hospital complexes. The "master plan" would depict all
phases or prcJects within the Campus and would list these projects on a schedule indicating
the timing, land use, building height, and floor area ratio of each project. 'rhe proposed
flexibility criteria would provide that a Planned Medical Campus be reviewed as a whole and
not as its individual component pieces, as well as providing that a hospital must exist as the
core primary use ofthe Campus and what accessory uses are considered permissible as part
of the Campus.
The Planned Medical Campus Project is established as a Level One, Flexible Standard
Development use and will act as a mechanism to implement and provide a review for each
phase or project within the approved "master plan." The flexibility criteria associated with
the Planned Medical Campus Project use will also provide for a certain arriount of flexibility
in the "master plan" that will allow the "hospital" to adjust more fluidly to changing needs
without accc5sarily requiring the entire Carripus be brought back through the full i-cvicw
process provided that the changes are minor in nature and consistent with provided criteria.
4. Valet Parking ffiage 12 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment establishes provisions that clarify when valet parking is
permissible, andi provides scime exemptions to the design standards, for parking lots and
parking garages for valet parking that would specifically allow for tandem parking and
reduced parking space dimensions, provided that the valet parking let/garagc: is staffcd 24-
hours per day, and that the valet parking lot/garage is for art overnight accornmodatiun use
located in either the Tourist (T) or Downtown (D) Districts or within a Special Area Plan,
and that the use meets its minimum parking requirement.
5. Definitions [page 12 of'OrdinanccV
Outdoor Storage — establishes a definition for the existing Outdoor Storage use that is
clearly distinguished. from the existing Outdoor Retail Sales, Display and/or Storage use
definition.
Planned Medical Campus — establishes a definition for the riew Planned Medical Campus
