ANALYSIS:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 0.099 acre site is located on the north side of
Bay Esplanade approximately 95 feet west of
Mandalay Avenue and has 50 feet of frontage.
The property is zoned Tourist (T) District and is
currently vacant. The site is located within the
special area redevelopment plan, Beach by
Design, as part of the "Old Florida" District
which is an area of transition between resort uses
to the south and the low intensity residential
neighborhoods to the north of Acacia Street. The
preferred form of development is a mix of uses
primarily including new overnight
accommodations and attached dwellings
throughout the District with limited
retail/commercial and mixed use development
fronting Mandalay Avenue between Bay
Esplanade and Somerset Street. To ensure that
the scale and character of development in "Old
Florida" provides the desired transition between
the adjacent tourist and residential areas,
enhanced site design performance is a priority,
including greater setbacks.
The immediate vicinity is composed of a
municipal park and parking lot, hotels, retail
sales and services, restaurants, municipal fire
station and an automobile service station.
Structures in the area vary in height between one
and three stories, and generally resemble
architecture from the 1950's.
Site History:
The subject property has been vacant since 1994
when three, one - story, 600 SF wood frame
cottages of the former Sea Breeze Cottages were
demolished.
The parcel is located directly across the street
from the current day Mandalay Park, which was
previously referred to as Rockaway Park and
Clearwater Beach Park. The park is bounded by
Bay Esplanade to the north, Mandalay to the
east, Rockaway to the south and Municipal
parking lot 436 to the west and is the location of

Fire Station 446.
On October 19, 2010 a Development Order was issued for FLD2010 -08001 approving the "Da
Scoop" Ice Cream restaurant. The approval included a proposed 1,500 square foot, one story
building with seating for 24 customers, zero parking spaces and building permit, BCP2011-
03212, was issued on June 21, 2013 for the site work and construction. That permit has now
expired and the new building design will accommodate building code and flood area "AU
construction requirements. Additionally, the current application has been submitted due to a
change in franchising to a Dairy Queen.
Code Enforcement Analysis:
There are no active Code Compliance cases for the subject property.
Development Proposal:
The proposed 1,250 square foot restaurant, elevated on wooden pilings in order to comply with
the base flood elevation requirements, includes an outdoor deck with seating for approximately
15 customers. The main entrance to the restaurant will be accessed via the outdoor stairs leading
to the deck area; a lift for handicap accessibility will be provided. All customer accessible areas
will be located within the elevated portion of the building. The ground level portion under the
building will only feature the trash dumpster enclosure. The proposal does not include on -site
parking and it is anticipated that the majority of customer base will come from those already
visiting and /or staying at the beach rather than serving as a destination in and of itself.

Special Area Plan:
Beach by Design: Old Florida
The City has demonstrated through the creation of Beach by Design and subsequent amendments
to this plan that it recognizes the need for pedestrian - friendly development in order to create a
vibrant active resort and waterfront destination serving tourists and locals alike. It is understood
that a broad range of uses including retail sales and service, hotels and motels and restaurants
contribute to the creation of the unique character and atmosphere that is Clearwater Beach. This
district is identified as a transition area between the resort uses to the south and the low intensity
residential areas to the north. Beach by Design supports the development of limited
retail/commercial and mixed use developments with enhanced site design performance being a
priority. The following criteria are applicable to properties located within the "Old Florida"
district and supersede the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design as well as the Community
Development Code.
1. Maximum Building Height
This section references height limitations for properties along Somerset Street. The proposed
site is not on Somerset Street. It also references heights permitted for attached dwelling and
overnight accommodations. The proposed use is a restaurant. Therefore, height is dictated
by the CDC.
2. Minimum Required Setbacks
This section provides that properties not fronting on Mandalay Avenue are to have front
setbacks of 15 feet, and side and rear setbacks of 10 feet. The proposal includes side
setbacks less than 10 feet however, subsection 5, below addresses this component of the
proposal.
3. Required Building Stepbacks or Alternative Increase Setback for building exceeding 35 feet
in height
The proposed building is less than 35 feet in height and therefore this section is not
applicable.
4. Flexibility of Setbacks /SteRbacks for building exceeding 35 feet in height
The proposed building is less than 35 feet in height and therefore this section is not
applicable.
5. Flexibility of Setbacks for building 35 feet and less in height
While the required setbacks for the subject property, as noted above, are 15 feet (front) and
10 feet (side and rear) buildings equal to or less than 35 feet in height may request a
reduction in front setback of up to 10 feet, and side setbacks of up to five feet. As the
proposed building is less than 35 feet in height, the requested setbacks include a front (south)
setback 15 feet (to building), a side (west) setback of 10 feet (to building), a side (east)
setback of eight feet (to building) and a rear (north) setback of 16 feet (to building) which are
consistent with the requirements of Beach by Design.
6. Landscape Buffers
Community Development Board May 20, 2014
FLD2013 -11041 —Page 3
PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT dea wat Level II Flexible Development A pp lication Review DEVELOP IE NT
REVIEW DIVISION
The street frontage landscape buffer may be reduced to five feet for buildings with a height
of 35 feet or less and the entire setback area must be landscaped. The proposed project
features a building height of 28 feet and will feature a street frontage landscape buffer of 10
feet which exceeds the minimum requirement. Beach by Design does not require landscape
buffer areas along the side and rear portions of the site. The proposed project will include a
five foot landscape buffer along each of the side setbacks and the rear setback which exceeds
the requirement of Beach by Design.
7. Parking /Vehicular Access
The proposed project does not include on -site parking provisions and the applicant has
provided a Traffic Demand Study as part of the application submittal. The results of the
study have been accepted by the Engineering Department. The study determined that eight
spaces would be required by the proposed use at the peak time period where in the immediate
area there are 388 spaces. Additionally, it is anticipated that this type of use will not be a
destination location but rather will draw from existing customer populations already located
within the immediate area.
Beach by Design: Section VII Design Guidelines:
Beach by Design provides that the implementation of the document involves more than
community redevelopment initiatives, it also involves private development and redevelopment
that conforms to design objectives and principles established in Beach by Design. These
objectives and principles will help the City promote safety, encourage cleanliness, and provide a
comfortable environment. It should be noted that any issue not addressed in the Design
Guidelines shall be governed by the requirements of the CDC. Furthermore, the Design
Guidelines are intended to be administered in a flexible manner to achieve the highest quality
built environment for Clearwater Beach.
Section A specifically addresses the issue of density. The proposal includes a restaurant with
1,205 square feet of floor area within a one -story building. The maximum Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) of 1.0 allows up to 4,350 square feet of floor area. The proposal is consistent with Beach
by Design and the CDC with regard to density and FAR.
Section B specifically addresses height and is delineated in three subsections.
Section B.1 provides that a height of up to 150 feet may be permitted where additional
density is allocated to the development either by TDRs, or via the Destination Resort Density
Pool pursuant to the CRD designation, or via the Hotel Density Reserve where the subject
property is located between South Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico or on the
west side of Coronado Drive. Otherwise, height is governed by the specific Beach by Design
district or, lacking such direction, the CDC. The proposal provides for a building 28 feet in
height. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this provision.
Section B.2 requires that portions of any structures which exceed 100 feet are spaced at least
100 feet apart. This section also includes overall separation requirements for structures over
100 feet in height as two options: (1) no more than two structures which exceed 100 feet
within 500 feet; or (2) no more than four structures which exceed 100 feet within 800 feet.

REVIEW DIVISION
Since no portion of the proposed building exceeds 100 feet in height this section is not
applicable to the proposal.
Section B.3 provides that the floorplate of any portion of a building that exceeds 45 feet in
height is limited as follows:
a) Between 45 feet and 100 feet the floorplate will be no greater than 25,000 square feet
except for parking structures open to the public; and,
b) Between 100 feet and 150 feet, the floorplate will be no greater than 10,000 square feet;
and,
c) Deviations to the above floorplate requirements may be approved provided the mass and
scale of the design creates a tiered effect and complies with the maximum building
envelop allowance above 45 feet as described in Section C. 1.4 of the Design Guidelines.
Since no portion of the proposed building exceeds 100 feet in height this section is not
applicable to the proposal.
Section C addresses issues relating to design, scale and building mass. These topics are
quantified in six parts as follows:
Section C.1 requires buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet or a single
dimension greater than 100 feet to be constructed so that no more than two of the three
building dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. The proposed
building footprint is approximately 1,205 square feet and no plane of the building extends for
more than 50 feet. Therefore, this section is not applicable to the proposal.
Section C.2 requires no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater than 100 feet
without an offset of more than five feet. No portion of the building facade continues for
more than 50 feet in length. Therefore, this section is not applicable to the proposal.
Section C.3 requires at least 60 percent of any elevation (with elevation being defined as that
portion of a building that is visible from a particular point outside the parcel proposed for
development) to be covered with windows or architectural decoration. The primary facades
visible from offsite are the south and east facades. An extensive use of windows, awnings
and other architectural features occupy more than 60 percent of either of these two facades.
Therefore, this provision is supported by the proposal.
Section C.4 provides that no more than 60 percent of the theoretical maximum building
envelope located above 45 feet will be occupied by a building. The maximum building
height will be 28 feet therefore; this section is not applicable to the proposal.
Section C.5 requires that the height and mass of buildings will be correlated to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel proposed for development and (2) adjacent public spaces
such as streets and parks. The adjacent Bay Esplanade and Mandalay Avenue rights -of -way
are approximately 80 feet in width. The building will essentially be located 15 feet from the
south property line consistent with other existing structures along Bay Esplanade. Given the
height of the building there should be no negative effect on adjacent public spaces.
Therefore, this provision is supported by the proposal.

Section C.6 permits buildings to be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of permissible
uses. The development proposal is for a single use building. Therefore, the application is
supported by this Guideline.
Section D addresses the issues of sidewalk widths, setbacks and stepbacks. These topics are
quantified in three parts as follows:
Section D.1 provides that the distances from structures to the edge of the right -of -way should
be 15 feet along arterials, and 12 feet along local streets where the proposal provides a 15
foot setback of along Bay Esplanade. In addition, decorative awnings and arcades and public
balconies may extend into the public space and even into the right -of -way (provided they do
not obstruct vehicular traffic). Outdoor cafe tables are also permitted in the public space,
subject to the requirements in Section H, Sidewalks. The proposal maintains the existing 12
foot sidewalk along Bay Esplanade. The 15 foot building setback is appropriate given the
existing pattern of development in the area and the desire to locate active uses such as
restaurants adjacent to sidewalks and is supported by the Comprehensive Plan as examined in
greater detail elsewhere in this report. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section D.2 provides that except for the side and rear setbacks set forth elsewhere in Beach
by Design, no side or rear setback lines are recommended, except as may be required to
comply with the City's Fire Code. The proposal includes side (west and east) setbacks of 10
feet and eight feet (to building), respectively. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this
proposal.
Section D.3 addresses setbacks and stepbacks along Coronado and Hamden Drives. The
proposal is not located along Coronado Drive. Therefore this guideline is not applicable to
the proposal.
Section E addresses issues of street -level facades and the incorporation of human -scale features
into the facades of buildings in three parts.
Section E.1 requires that at least 60 percent of the street level facades (the portion of the
building within 12 feet of grade) of buildings used for nonresidential purposes which abut a
public street or pedestrian access way, will include windows or doors that allow pedestrians
to see into the building, or landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas, where street level
facades are set back at least 15 feet from the edge of the sidewalk and the area between the
sidewalk and the facade is a landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plaza. In addition,
parking structures should utilize architectural details and design elements such as false
recessed windows, arches, planter boxes, metal grillwork, etc. instead of transparent
alternatives. When a parking garage abuts a public road or other public place, it will be
designed such that the function of the building is not readily apparent except at points of
ingress and egress.
The proposed building will be constructed on timber pilings to comply with building code
and flood prevention requirements. The surrounding character is predominantly two -three

REVIEW DIVISION
stories of mid - century design with strong horizontal architectural details. The placement,
scale and scope of the proposed building have been designed to complement adjacent
buildings. The building design incorporates an extensive use of windows, awnings and other
architectural detailing on all three visible facades with special care to create a pedestrian -
friendly environment on the street - facing facade. No parking spaces are provided so the
portions of this section addressing parking garages do not apply to the proposal otherwise,
this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section E.2 provides that window coverings, and other opaque materials may cover no more
than 10 percent of the area of any street -level window in a nonresidential building that fronts
on a public right -of -way. The building will not feature street -level windows and therefore,
this section is not applicable.
Section E.3 requires that building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and easily
identified. The entrance to the building is generous in size and includes an awning.
Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section E.4 recommends the use of awnings and other structures that offer pedestrians cover
from the elements especially at entryways. The applicant has included awnings along the
both street frontage and at the entranceway. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this
proposal.
Section F addresses issues related to the treatment of parking areas. To create a well- defined and
aesthetically appealing street boundary, all parking areas will be separated from public rights -of-
way by a landscaped decorative wall, fence or other opaque landscape treatment of not less than
three feet and not more than 3.5 in height. Parking is not included as part of the proposed
project. Therefore, this Guideline is not applicable to this proposal.
Section G addresses issues related to signage. A sign package has not been included with the
submittal. Any proposed signage will be required to meet the requirements of this section of
Beach by Design and any applicable portions of the Community Development Code.
Section H addresses issues related to sidewalks (also addressed in part by Section D, above) and
provides that all sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at least 10 feet in width.
The proposal maintains the existing 12 foot sidewalk along Bay Esplanade and the sidewalk
width is adequate given the existing pattern of development of the area. Therefore, this
Guideline is met by this proposal.
Section I addresses issues related to street furniture and bicycle racks. The project does not
include any street furniture or bicycle racks. Therefore, this section is not applicable to the
proposal.
Section J addresses issues related to street lighting. Street lighting installed by the City already
exists along Bay Esplanade. Additional street lighting is not proposed with this development.
Therefore, this section is not applicable to the proposal.

Section K addresses issues related to fountains. A fountain is not proposed with this
development. Therefore, this section is not applicable to the proposal.
Section L addresses issues related to materials and colors. Finish materials and building colors
are required to reflect Florida or coastal vernacular themes. The proposed building is indicative
of the mid - century design style of architecture. Two primary exterior colors are proposed
including a light sand and medium brown with two accent colors including dark brown, stainless
steel and red /white stripe awnings. The proposed color scheme and material schedule meets the
requirements of this section.
Community Development Code
➢ Purpose, Intent and Basic Planning Objectives
The proposal is supported by the general purpose, intent and basic planning objectives of this
Code as follows:
Section 1- 103.B.1. Allowing property owners to enhance the value of their property through
innovative and creative redevelopment.
The location and shape of the parcel is similar to other parcels in the area, however, the size is
slightly smaller than the majority of the parcels fronting along Bay Esplanade. The proposed
restaurant is consistent with the character of the area along Bay Esplanade with regard to use and
the proposal will result in a project consistent with elements of the Comprehensive Plan, as
provided above. The proposed development will be consistent with required setbacks and will
exceed the amount of required landscaping.
Section 1- 103.B.2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a negative
impact on the value of surrounding properties and wherever practicable promoting development
and redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding properties.
Surrounding properties to the subject property include a variety of commercial and municipal
uses consistent with the Tourist District and the redevelopment of the vacant lot into a viable
restaurant use will enhance the immediate area. The surrounding land uses of hotels, retail, and
municipal park, parking lot and beach areas will benefit from the addition of an ice cream
restaurant within walking distance. The proposed development provides not only for a greater
amount of landscaping than is required but will develop a vacant parcel of land which has sat
idle since 1994 and it is likely that surrounding properties will have their values enhanced. The
proposal is consistent with the level of design (both site and building) as applied to surrounding
area properties and others throughout the City. It is anticipated that the proposal will result in a
positive impact on those surrounding properties. Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC
section.
Section 1- 103.B.3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole.
The proposal includes the redevelopment of an existing parcel of land which is undersized and
has remained void of a viable land use since 1994. The proposal will be consistent with the
character of the area with regard to size, scope and scale as compared with other properties in the
neighborhood. While the proposal is expected to have no net increase in the tax base as a whole,
the overall result will be the redevelopment of a vacant land parcel with an architecturally
attractive building with enhanced landscaping improvements which will support the intent of the
Community Development Board May 20, 2014
FLD2013 -11041 —Page 8
PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT dea wat Level II Flexible Development A pp lication Review DEVELOP IE NT
REVIEW DIVISION
standards of the CDC. The net result of the proposal will be another attractive development in
the community which adds to the enhancement of surrounding properties and therefore, the
proposal supports this Code section.
Section 1- 103.D. It is the further purpose of this Development Code to make the beautification of
the city a matter of the highest priority and to require that existing and future uses and structures
in the city are attractive and well - maintained to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The proposal includes a new ice cream restaurant with landscape buffers or portions thereof that
are beyond the minimum required width and configuration. The applicant has demonstrated that
the proposed building and site plan are more attractive than what is required by the CDC as well
as Beach by Design.
Section 1-103.E.5. Preserve the natural resources and aesthetic character of the community for
both the resident and tourist population consistent with the city's economic underpinnings.
The development proposal will support both the resident and tourist populations with a
Restaurant. The proposal will be consistent with regard to the desired form and function of the
Old Florida District of Beach by Design and meets the Design Guidelines of that document.
Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section.
Section 2 -801 Intent of the Tourist District and Resort High Facilities FL UP classification.
The CDC provides that the Tourist (T) District may be located in more than one land use
category. It is the intent of the T District that development be consistent with the Countywide
Future Land Use Plan as required by state law. The uses and development potential of a parcel
of land within the T District shall be determined by the standards found in this Development
Code as well as the Countywide Future Land Use Designation of the property, including any
acreage or floor area restrictions set forth in the Rules Concerning the Administration of the
Countywide Future Land Use Plan, as amended from time to time. For those parcels within the
T District that have an area within the boundaries of and governed by a special area plan
approved by the city council and the countywide planning authority, maximum development
potential shall be as set forth for each classification of use and location in the approved plan.
Section 2.3.3.4.6 of the Countywide Land Use Rules provides that the purpose of the Resort
Facilities High (RFH) FLUP classification is to depict those areas of the county that are now
developed, or appropriate to be developed, in high density residential and resort, tourist facility
use; and to recognize such areas as well- suited for the combination of residential and temporary
lodging use consistent with their location, surrounding uses, transportation facilities and natural
resource characteristics of such areas. The proposed restaurant is consistent with the permitted
secondary uses of the RFH FLUP.
➢ Development Parameters
Floor Area Ratio (FAR):
Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2- 801.1, the maximum FAR for
properties with a Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) designation of Resort Facilities High (RFH) is
1.0. The proposed FAR is 0.28, which is consistent with the Countywide Plan Rules and the
CDC.

Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR
Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2- 801.1, the maximum allowable ISR
is 0.95. The existing ISR is zero and the proposed project will have an ISR of 0.30, which is
consistent with the Countywide Plan Rules and the CDC.
Minimum Lot Area and Width:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2 -803, there is no minimum required lot area or lot width for a
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to
CDC Table 2 -802, Flexible Standard Development Standards, the required lot area and width for
a restaurant is between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet and 50 and100 feet, respectively. The lot
area is 4,350 square feet and the lot width is 50 feet.
Minimum Setbacks:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2 -803, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive
Infill Redevelopment Project; however, setbacks are established in the "Old Florida" character
district of Beach by Design and have been examined in detail elsewhere in this report. It should
be reiterated that these requirements supersede the requirements of the CDC. While the
minimum required setbacks are 15 feet (front) and 10 feet (side and rear), flexibility may be
provided for buildings at or less than 35 feet in height. In such a case the front setback may be
reduced to 10 feet with the side and rear setbacks reduced to five feet. The proposed building is
less than 35 feet in height and the proposed front setback will be 10 feet, the side setbacks will be
a minimum of five feet and the rear setback will be 16 feet which is consistent with the
requirements of Beach by Design.
Maximum Building Height:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2 -803, there is no maximum height for a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project; however, pursuant to CDC Table 2 -802, the maximum allowable height
for Restaurants can range between 35 and 50 feet. The proposed building will be a maximum of
21.46 feet (to top of flat roof) and 28 feet (to top of parapet) which is consistent with the
requirements of the CDC.
Minimum Off - Street Parkin
Pursuant to CDC Table 2 -803, a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project shall have off -
street parking requirements determined by the Community Development Coordinator. As a
point of reference, pursuant to CDC Table 2 -802, a restaurant shall be required to provide
between seven and 12 spaces per 1,000 GFA. Based on the requirements of CDC 2 -802, the
proposed restaurant would be required to provide between eight and 15 spaces. The proposal
includes zero parking spaces. The applicant has submitted a Parking Demand Study which
identifies 388 parking spaces available within the immediate area and that at the peak this site
will demand eight parking spaces as 65 percent of the customer base is anticipated to be walk -up.
The study further identifies that the eight parking spaces are available at every peak hour on both
Friday and Saturday thus the proposed development will not cause adverse impacts to the
immediate and surrounding areas.

Mechanical Equipment:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3- 201.D.1, all outside mechanical equipment must be screened so as
not to be visible from public streets and /or abutting properties. The proposed mechanical
equipment will be screened behind the parapet section of the front building wall line and will not
be visible from public rights -of -way or adjacent properties. Based upon the above, the
development proposal is consistent with this Code provision.
Sight Visibility Triangles:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3- 904.A, no structures or landscaping may be installed which will
obstruct views at a level between 30 inches above grade and eight feet above grade within 20-
foot sight visibility triangles. The proposed project will not include on -site vehicular access and
will not impact any existing sight visibility triangles.
Utilities:
Pursuant to CDC Section 3 -912, for development that does not involve a subdivision, all utilities
including individual distribution lines must be installed underground unless such undergrounding
is not practicable. All utilities which serve the site are proposed to be installed underground.
Additionally, this requirement was reviewed with the Applicant during the DRC meeting and the
Applicant has responded that the project will comply.
Landscaping
Pursuant to CDC Section 3- 1202.1), there are no perimeter buffers required in the Tourist District
for this site. However, pursuant to CDC Section 3- 1202.E.2, foundation landscaping five feet in
width is required. The proposed project includes a ten foot landscaped buffer along the street
facing frontage, a minimum of a five foot buffer along the sides and rear of the building which
complies with the CDC.
Solid Waste:
A fire proof structure will be constructed at grade, below the main building, which will house a
secured two yard dumpster which will be fully screened from view from adjacent properties and
rights -of -way. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste
Department.
Signage:
While signage has been depicted in the proposed drawings, a formal sign package has not been
submitted. Therefore signage is not being reviewed as part of the current submittal and will be
handled under a separate signage application. All signage will be required to meet the applicable
portions of the CDC and the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design.
➢ General Applicability Criteria Requirements
The proposal supports the General Applicability requirements of the CDC as follows:
Section 3- 914.A.1. The proposed development of the land will be in harmony with the scale, bulk,
coverage, density and character of adjacent properties in which it is located.
The proposal includes the construction of a 1,250 square foot, one -story ice cream restaurant
with outdoor seating. The subject property is located within the T District on Bay Esplanade,

near the intersection with Mandalay, in the beach block directly across the street from Mandalay
Park. The area features a variety of retail sales, services, overnight accommodations, restaurants
and automobile oriented uses. The majority of the area buildings are one and two stories with
the neighboring Palm Pavilion Hotel being three stories. The proposed raised one -story structure
will blend in with the existing development pattern, scale and character of the area and therefore,
the proposal supports this Code section.
Section 3- 914.A.2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage development and
use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.
Most of the immediate area is built -out and the proposed restaurant development will provide a
viable use for an undersized lot which will provide an additional amenity to the existing
combination of area land uses. The proposal will not impair the value of adjacent properties.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3- 914.A.3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
The proposed development will adhere to current building practices and laws with the future
restaurant operations falling under the prevue of the health board further ensuring the health and
safety of the customer base and immediate community. The proposal will likely have no effect,
negative or otherwise, on the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3- 914.A.4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
The proposal has been designed to have a minimal effect on traffic congestion. It is anticipated
that the site will depend on captured trips and that the customer base is anticipated to be
primarily pedestrian. The Parking Demand Study has identified that there are 388 parking
spaces within the immediate area and during the peak operation times of the restaurant 65
percent of the customer base will be walls -up. The proposal will not negatively impact existing
traffic congestion and will in fact minimize traffic to the subject property as the majority of the
customer base will be drawn from the immediate area of overnight accommodations and
residential units. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3- 914.A.5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the
immediate vicinity.
As previously discussed, the community character consists primarily of a variety of commercial
and tourist oriented uses including retail sales and service, overnight accommodations, auto
service stations and restaurants. The modern architectural style of the building combined with
lush landscaping will complement and enhance adjacent properties. A contemporary seaside
theme will be utilized through the architectural definition and building materials of the proposed
structure. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 3- 914.A.6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including
visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties.
The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse visual and acoustic impacts on
adjacent properties. There should be no olfactory impacts of any kind. The proposed building
will be designed to blend into the immediate area and will provide an additional amenity to the

REVIEW DIVISION
existing combination of tourist oriented uses. The hours of operation will be consistent with
other surrounding uses. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
➢ Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria requirements
The proposal supports the specific Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria pursuant
to CDC Section 2- 803.D.1 -6 as follows:
1. The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use
and /or development standards set forth in this zoning district.
The existing lot size of the subject property is 4,350 square feet which is an undersized lot
within the T District and significantly limits the ability to develop the lot without deviations
from the development standards. There have not been any reasonable opportunities to
combine the property with adjacent properties. Since the ability to increase the size and area
of the property are not possible it stands to reason that the development of the site is
impractical without deviations from the developments standards set forth by the CDC. With
that said, the applicant has provided for a development proportionately - scaled to the site of
the site and consistent with the pattern of development in the area and as desired by Beach by
Design. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
2. The development or redevelopment will be consistent with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, as well as with the general purpose, intent and basic planning
objectives of this Code, and with the intent and purpose of this zoning district.
The development of the site will be consistent with a variety of Goals, Objectives and
Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan as well as with the general purpose, intent and
basic planning objectives of the CDC as examined in detail previously in this document.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding properties.
As mentioned, all surrounding properties are developed with a variety of commercial and
tourist oriented uses including restaurants, overnight accommodations, retail sales and
services. The proposal should have no impact on the ability of adjacent properties to
redevelop or otherwise be improved. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC
Section.
4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed
development.
As discussed in detail, the proposal is similar to and will support adjacent uses. In addition,
the proposed building design, orientation, landscaping and site layout is similar to adjacent
properties. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
5. The proposed use shall otherwise be permitted by the underlying future land use category, be
compatible with adjacent land uses, will not substantially alter the essential use
characteristics of the neighborhood; and shall demonstrate compliance with one or more of
six objectives:
Community Development Board May 20, 2014
FLD2013 -11041 —Page 13
PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT dea wat Level II Flexible Development A pp lication Review DEVELOP IE NT
REVIEW DIVISION
a. The proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible
standard or flexible development use;
The proposed restaurant use is permitted as a Flexible Standard use within the T District
and is permitted by the underlying future land use category of RFH. Therefore, the
proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
6. Flexibility with regard to use, lot width, required setbacks, height and off - street parking are
justified based on demonstrated compliance with all of the following design objectives:
a. The proposed development will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of the surrounding properties for uses permitted in this zoning district.
As mentioned, surrounding properties are developed with a variety of uses typical of a
commercial nature including hotels, retail, restaurants, and automobile oriented uses.
The proposed restaurant will support and complement surrounding uses with regard to
form and function. The proposal will have no negative effect on the ability of
surrounding properties to be redeveloped or otherwise improved. Therefore, the proposal
is consistent with this CDC Section.
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the
city.
The subject property is located within the "Old Florida" character district of Beach by
Design and is consistent with the established criteria of the design guidelines as examined
in detail in this report.
c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or
emerging character of an area.
The proposal provides for a use similar in type and site configuration to other existing
surrounding uses within this area of Clearwater Beach. The property is located within the
T District and provides for a permitted use and therefore, the proposal is consistent with
this CDC Section.
d. In order to form a cohesive, visually interesting and attractive appearance, the proposed
development incorporates a substantial number of the following design elements:
■ Changes in horizontal building planes;
■ Use of architectural details such as columns, cornices, stringcourses, pilasters,
porticos, balconies, railings, awnings, etc.;
■ Variety in materials, colors and textures;
■ Distinctive fenestration patterns;
■ Building step backs; and
■ Distinctive roofs forms.
The proposed one -story building will be elevated approximately ten feet off the grade via
wooden timber pilings in order to meet FEMA flood regulations. Although the building
will be one of the first structures required to be raised on pilings in the "Old Florida"
character district, the stucco veneered elevations with a flat roof, colorful awnings and
horizontal banding will soften the transition to the Palm Pavilion Hotel to the west and
the one -story canopy of the gas station to the east. The applicant has provided
information regarding the proposed architectural design of the building will be pleasing
Community Development Board May 20, 2014

REVIEW DIVISION
and the raised floor height will allow for air circulation over, around and under the
structure. The building materials will include stucco, glass and prefinished /weather
resistant metals. The proposed flat roof is a common roof shape that reflects consistency
with surrounding residential and non - residential uses. The exterior stucco walls will
feature horizontal recesses with contrasting color banding to accentuate the linear nature
of the building and balance out the verticality of the structure. The building will feature
awnings and deck seating which are indicative of beach life and offer a reprieve from the
sun. Pedestrians are greeted with double the required landscaping leading to a wood
frame stairway ascending to an elevated deck area with seating and access to the service
area of the restaurant. The materials used in the deck area will be stainless steel cable
and connectors which are nautical themed and tie into the seaside architecture.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design
and appropriate distances between buildings.
The proposed project will exceed the minimum landscaping standards by providing
double the required amount of plant materials and through providing buffer areas which
exceed the minimum width required by the CDC and through Beach by Design.
Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.
Section 4- 206.D.4: Burden of proof. The burden of proof is upon the applicant to show by
substantial competent evidence that he is entitled to the approval requested.
The applicant has adequately demonstrated through the submittal of substantial competent
evidence that the request is entitled to the approval requested as required by CDC Section 4-
206.D.4.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposal is in support of the following Goals, Objectives and /or Policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Future Land Use Plan Element
Obiective A.3.1 All signage within the City of Clearwater shall be consistent with the
Clearwater sign code, as found within the Community Development Code, and all proposed
signs shall be evaluated to determine their effectiveness in reducing visual clutter and in
enhancing the safety and attractiveness of the streetscape.
The proposal does not include a sign package at this time. However, the applicant has
committed to complying with all requirements of the CDC. Therefore, the proposal supports this
Objective.
Obiective A.3.2 All development or redevelopment initiatives within the City of Clearwater
shall meet the minimum landscaping / tree protection standards of the Community Development
Code in order to promote the preservation of existing tree canopies, the expansion of that
canopy, and the overall quality of development within the City; and
Policv A.3.2.1 - All new development or redevelopment of property within the City of Clearwater
shall meet all landscape requirements of the Community Development Code.
The proposed project will include landscaping which exceeds the amount required by the CDC.

Objective A.5.5 Promote high quality design standards that support Clearwater's image and
contribute to its identity.
Policv A.5.5.1 - Development should be designed to maintain and support the existing or
envisioned character of the neighborhood.
The proposal provides for a use permitted as a minimum standard development within the
Tourist District and a site design generally consistent with other development in the area along
Bay Esplanade. The immediate area surrounding the subject property is pedestrian- oriented with
a variety of commercial uses providing amenities to the visiting tourist as well as resident of the
community. The proposed project will provide upgrades to the existing vacant site and provide
for an active desirable use within the established commercial area.
Objective A.6.1 - The redevelopment of blighted, substandard, inefficient and /or obsolete areas
shall be a high priority and promoted through the implementation of redevelopment and special
area plans, the construction of catalytic private projects, city investment, and continued
emphasis on property maintenance standards.
In adopting Beach by Design the City recognized that large portions of the Beach could be
classified as blighted, substandard and suffered from "obsolescence and age ". One of the goals
of Beach by Design is to reverse this trend of disinvestment. This goal is well on the way to
being met (perhaps even exceeded) in many areas of the Beach. The Old Florida District is one
area that has not seen a great deal of redevelopment activity. The proposal improves an existing
site with a new restaurant and should be seen as one more step in the revitalization of the Beach
and supports this Objective.
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built -out character of the city of Clearwater, compact urban
development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code; and
Policv A.6.4.1 - The development or redevelopment of small parcels [less than one (1) acre]
which are currently receiving an adequate level of service shall be specifically encouraged by
administration of land development and concurrency management regulatory systems as a
method of promoting urban infill.
The subject property is a small parcel, under 5,000 square feet, and as such provides for limited
development and /or redevelopment options which would be consistent with the CDC. The
proposed ice cream restaurant will provide a low intensity commercial amenity to the existing
neighborhood.
Objective A.6.6 - Tourism is a substantial element of the City's economic base and as such the
City shall continue to support the maintenance and enhancement of this important economic
sector.
The proposed Restaurant will support the Tourist base and the proposal meets this Objective.
Policv A.6.8.3 - Where appropriate, development shall provide a sense of pedestrian scale on
streets through minimal front setbacks, similar building heights, street trees and proportionality
of building heights to street widths.
The proposal includes a new one -story building. As explored in detail previously in this
document, the proposal is consistent with the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design including

1.1 Proposed Development
PLANNING 8 DEVELOPMENT DEPT
Regional Consulting Engineers, LLC, has been retained to perform a Parking Demand
Study for the proposed "Da Scaop Ice Cream Parlour" develapment in the City of
Clearwater, Florida. The proposed site (tax parcel ID 05-29-15-16362-008-0120) is located
at 22 Bay Esplanade west of Mandalay Avenue (Figure 1). The proposed development
consists of a one-story commercial retail building totaling 1,500 sq-ft {gross floor area).
The site area is 4,350 sq-ft {50' x 87' lot). The site is developed mostiy for wafk-up
costumers from nearby beach areas, surrounding hotels, and visiting tourists. Please see
attached site plan (Figure 2).
This report documents the methodology and analysis for the parking demand study. The
purpose of the study is to determine the potential project impacts to the existing city public
parking facilities within the primary impact area. The parking demand study is required to
suppart the project Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project application for DRC staff
and Community Development Board (CDB) review.
9.2 Primary Impact Area and Methodology
Per the City of Clearwater LDC and Ffexible Development Application, the proposed project
will require a parking demand study within the primary impact area. The impact area is
determined to be one-thousand (1,000) feet radius of the site. All public parking spaces
(with meters) will be counted and tabulated within the impact area. Far this study, the peak
demand hours are on Friday between 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM and Saturday between 10:00
AM to 10:04 PM. The parking demand analysis will be done at every one hour increment
during the peak hour period.
"Google Earth" program was used to determine the approximate 1,000 feet radius primary
impact area. The project impact area is bounded by Idlewild Street (to the north), Bay
Esplande running narth-south directiQn (east), Baymount Street (south), and Clearwater
Beach limits (west). Please see Figure 3 for the Primary Impact Area map.

TIME OF DAY (HOURS)
3.0 Project Parking Demand and Customer Use Profile
The proposed 1,500 sq-fit ice cream parlour is designed with no on-site parking facility since
most of ihe customers will be walk-ups from the nearby beach areas and hotels. Based on
City code for retail services and restaurant, the required number of parking spaces is 15
spaces per 1,000 sq-ft of gross floor area under AC. Therefore, the proposed building area
will need 23 parking spaces per City code (1,500 sq-ft/1,000 sq-ft x 15 spaces).
However, mos# of the customers and tourists staying at the nearby hotels and resorts have
their own parking on-site and will not be driving to the ice cream shop. This project is not a
driving destination shop serving mostly by pedestrian walk-by or walk-up customers. The
walk-up rate is estimated to be around 60°/o to 70% for a typical ice cream snop near the
beach at this location. We wiA use an average of 65% walk-up rate to determine the
required parking spaces needed for this development. Therefore the remaining 35% wiil be
calculated for the off-si#e parking demand. This demand equates to 8 parking spaces
needed for the proposed ice cream parlour site (0.35 x 23 spaces = 8.0 spaces).
4.0 Summary and Conclusion
The parking demand study report and analysis performed on Friday, July 16, 2010 and
Saturday, July 17, 2010 showed that adequate off-site public parking is available to support
this development. Furthermore, the study was performed during a sunny and cfeared
weekend with lots of local residents and tourists visiting the beach areas. Furthermore, the
data collection dates above represent the peak summer vacation period when schools are
closed and many tourists are visiting the area. It can be assumed that the data collected
represent one of the peak demand period annually.
Per Table 1 and Table 2, the required eight (8) parking spaces needed for this development
are available ai every peak haur increments on both Friday and Saturday. We can
reasonable assume that this small development will not cause adverse impacts to the
surrounding area public parking facilities within the 1,000 feet radius primary impact area.

Sheet 3 of 12 has been revised to reflect only Timber piling
Comment #7: Criterion Four. Please provide specific information regarding the
applicability of the previously submitted Parking Demand Study as it relates
to accommodating and/or reducing the potential traffic congestion
associated with the use.
Response #7: The unique location of the DQ Cornerstone Ice cream restaurant to the
beach will be more of a destination for people at the beach and those
tourists and residents within walking distance rather than a
destination by vehicular access
Comment #8_ Criterion Five: Please describe how the proposed design of the use is
consistent with the community character
Respanse #8: The proposed development and design of the use as a small 1205sf
ice cream restaurant is consistent with keeping the "Old Florida
District" as a transitional district by being part of the limited
restaurant I retail link between the low intensity residential
neighborhood to the north and the Destination Resort, Marina and
Retail / Restaurant Districts to the south.
Though the DQ Cornerstone will be one of the first the structures
required to be raised on pilings in the District, the Prominent Stucco
Veneered Front elevation with its flat roof, colorful awnings and
horizontal banding will soften the transition from the neighboring 3
story motel to the west and the one story linear fuel canopy of the Gas
station to the east.
Comment #9: Criterion Six: Describe the unique design of the site, specific hours ot
operation and how the new landscaping will minimize adverse effects of the
proposed development.

Comment #10
Response #10
Comment #11:
Response #11:
Comment #12:
Criterion One: The application provides that the development is impractical
without deviations from the parameters set forth in the zoning district
The subject site is less than the minimum 5,OOOsf required (4,350sf)
therefore deviations are needed for a viable development solution
Criterion Five: Please provide specifics regarding the anticipated number of
jobs created by proposed developmeni
DQ Cornerstone intends to employ 10-12 employees. Two (2) full time
managers and the remaining 8-10 employees to be part-time. Typical
shift to be 2-3 employees.
Criterion Six: While commentary regarding the proposed design of the
building has been provided, specifics regarding the architectural elements
being incorporated has not been addressed
Response #12: DQ Cornerstone ensures a pleasing architecture by incorporating a
raised building floor height that allows for the cool breeze to pass not
only over and around but under the structure
Building materials such as stucco and glass are used today as in
the past as durable finishes with prefinished or weather resistant
metals replacing painted wood or steel framed windows.
Our flat roof shape is a common roof shape that reflects multi-family
residences as in our neighbor to the west as well as non-residential
occupancies as evidenced throughout the business lined streets.
Varying roof heights have been added to offer interest and break up
the mass.
Walls of predominately traditional 3 coat stucco with horizontal
recesses accompanied with a change of material in the recess help to
accentuate the linear nature of an otherwise vertical building.
Window shading on all windows, openings and seating by means of
Comment #13:
awnings are indicative of beach life and offer a reprieve from the sun
while enjoying a cool treat.
Pedestrians are greeted with double the required landscape leading
to a wood framed stair way ascending to an elevated public deck
offering vistas of the beach and surrounding landscape. Stainless
steel cabling and connectors are nautical in nature encompassing the
elevated deck and stair ways.
Due to the nature of our elevated building our entire first floor /
grade level is completely transparent allowing breezes to circulate
freely across the property
Criterion One: Proposed landscaping theme to be demonstrably more
attractive than basic landscaping required, please elaborate on this issue.
Response #13: The proposed site will have doubled the required landscaping and
trees planting on-site. We are proposing to plant ten (10) canopy trees
and nine (9) sabal palms. This is above the standard City landscape
code requirements and will make the site look more attractive.

Respanse #17:
Criterion Two: Lighting. The proposed lighting will be approved turtle
friendly and will automatically controlled to ensure that lighting is off when
the business is closed.
Provisions have been made to comply with Turtle Friendly
Regulations which include controlling all interior and exterior lighting
automatically.
Criterion Three, Community Character, Please provide specifics regarding
how the proposed landscaping will enhance the community character.
We are doubling the required landscaping on-site. This will enhance
the surrounding community characteristics.
Criterion Four, Property Values, Please provide specifics regarding the way
in which the proposed landscaping will increase the property values.
The developer is willing to incur extra expenses by providing more
landscaping beyond the City requirements. This will help increase the
property values of the surrounding area.
Criterion Five, Beach by Design for the Old Florida District requires a ten
(10) foot landscape buffer be required along the street frontage and the
property complies with this requirement
We acknowledge this comment and condition.

G. Solid Waste Review
Comment #1
Response #1:
We need to look at the possibility of increasing the storage area to accommodate
at least a two-yard Dumpster.
A larger Dumpster enclosure has been designed to accommodate a two-
yard Dumpster.
H. Stormwater Review: Prior to Building Permit
Comment #1: As per Section 3 of the City of Clearwater Storm Drainage Design Criteria,
reinforced concrete pipe shall be used in all easements and right of ways. The
minimum allowable size is 15-inch diameter.
