° Clearwater ��,e� „ F�xible Deuelopment Application Review
ANALYSIS:
Location and Existing Conditions:
T'he �t.$7-acre subject property is located on the
south side af South Gulfview Boulevard,
between Hamden Drive and Bayway Boulevard
with 467 feet of frontage along South Gult'
Boulevard and 600 feet of frontage along the
Clearwater Yass. The property spans two
zoning districts including Tourist (T) and Qpen
Space/Recreation (OS/R) and one Future Land
Use Plan (FLUP) classification, Resort
Facilities Hi�h (RFH). The subject property is
also located within the South Beach/Clearwater
Pass District of Beach by Design. The portion
of the site within the ? District is 3.908 acres
and landward of an existing seawall. The
remainder of the site is submerged land and
constitutes 0.962 acres. It should be noted that
the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL)
is shawn on the submitted site plan and survey
as terminating just �vest of the west property
line. It should atso be noted that only the
portion of the site within the 1' District is
considered with regard to development potential
such as Impervious Surface ratio (ISR), Gross
Ftoor Area (GFA) and density.
The property is not oriented due north/south and
for the sake of argument the property line along
South Gulfview Boulevard will be referred to in
this report as the north property line, the
waterfront side as south and the other two sides
as east and west.
The immediate azea is characterized by a
variety of uses inciuding overnight
accommodation, retail, outdoor recreation and
entertainment, restaurant and attached dwelling
uses. The 440 and 450 West attached dwelling
condominiums towers are located to the west of
the subject property and are 157 feet in height
(each tower}, Shephard's is located to the east
of the site. The City's Beach Walk project has
been constructed transforming South Gulfview
Boulevard tc� the north of this site into a
winding beachside promenade with lush

Site History:
� On Januazy 18, 2005, the Community Devetopment Board (CDB) approved, with 14
conditions, Case Nos. FLD2004-04025,'"TDR2004-09011 for the (1) Termination of Status of
Nonconforntity for density ta allow the continuation of an existing 289-roomlunit hcatel
(where 156 rooms/units were permitted at that time); (2) Flexible Development approval to
permit a mixed use (241-room/unit overnight accommadation use [including accessory
restaurant, retail sales and wave runner business), 38 attached dwellings, a restaurant and an
oftice use) with reductions to setbacks, an increase to building height and to permit direci
access to a major arterial street, as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project; and (3)
Transfer of Development Rights for two dwelling units from 850 Bayway Boulevard.
➢ On December 28, 2005, the Community Development Coordinator approved a minor
amendment to the approved site plan including a revised roof plan and architectural detailing,
modifications to the building elevations, re-routing of a sidewalk, modification to foundation
landscaping and the elimination of a second story covered walkway.
y On Aprit 5, 2006, the Community Development Coordinator approved a minor amendrnent
to the approved site plan which converted 52 hotel units to 39 residential units where the
requisite number of pazking spaces would be provided.
➢ On May 15, 2007, the CDB approved with four conditions Case No. FLD2007-03008 to
permit the addition of a 6,1�4 square-foat conference center as an accessory use to an
existing hotcl as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project under the (then) provisions
of Section 2-803.C.
S' �n JanuAry 21, 2014, the CDB approved with 20 conditions Case No. FLD2013-11Q:i8 to
permit a� 14-room overnight accommodation use.

Reserve under Beach by Design resulting in a permitted density of 88 hotel units per acre or
344 units.
All required time frames set for each of the above site plan approvals through May 15, 2007 have
been met and aze considered vested. Time frames for subsequent approvals have not expired and
are considered active. It is important to note that the Termination of Status of Nonconformity
(TSN} request for density and the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) run with the land
inespective of the status of any associated site plan approvals. It should also be noted that no
residential units were physically established on the property.
Development Proposal:
The proposal is to add 30 hotel units to the site bringing the total number of hotel units to 344.
This is consistent with the aforementioned Development Agreement. No changes to the site
plan, landscape plan or elevations were proposed with the Development Agreement application
nor are any changes proposed now. ?he additional rooms will be accommodated within the
proposed, approved building to be located on the west side of the site currently occupied by a
parking lot.
The CDC in Section 4-406 provides nine conditions under which a revision may be approved
administratively to a Level II development approval. One of the conditions is that the change
does not increase the intensity of the development. Because the proposal increases the intensity
of the development fram 314 hotel units to 344 review and approval by the CDB is required.
Brietly, the proposal is to construct a new 10-story building hotel building an the property
bringing the te�tal number of overnight accommodation units to 344. The three existing buildings
including the pool area will remain untouched w�ith their compliment of existing hotel units and
variety of accessory uses.
Nearly all required parking (a minimum of 1.2 spaces per unit or 4l3 spaces) wi(t be located
under or within the proposed and existing buildings. Setbacks are consistent �vith a Level One
Flexible Standazd Development review with front (north} setbacks of 15 feet (to building), zero
feet (to entry plaza paving) and three feet (to pazking), side (west) setbacks of 15 feet (to
building) and zero feet (to existing public access side��alk), side (east) sethacks of 10 feet (to
existing building) and zero feet (to existing parking and dumpster enclosure) and a rear (south}
setback of 106 feet (to building).
T1ie proposal maintains the three existing two-way driveways.
Special Area Plan:
Beach bv Design: So:�th Beach/Clearwater Pass District
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 w�aterfront 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 chazacter and atmosphere that is Clearwater Beach. The
vision of the South Beach/Clearwater Pass District of Beach by Design recognizes that this

district is a distinctive area of mixed use, high-rise condominiums, low- to mid-rise hotels,
outdoor recreation and tourist- and neighborhood-serving retail uses. The docutnent
acknowledges that development within the District may be inhibited hy though the lack of
availability of off-street parking. This development would further the trend of qtialit}�
redevelopment and/or improvements of properties along South Gulfview Boulevard within the
District including the Harborview Grinde, the Entrada and Shcphard's.
Beach bv Design: Section VII. Design Gtttdelines •
Beach by Design provides that the implementation of the document involves more than
community redevelopment initiatives, it atso involves private development and redevelopcnent
that conforn�s to design objectives and principles established in Beach by Design. Tliese
objectives and principles will help the City promote safety, encourage cleanliness, nnd proride 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. Furthertnore, the Design
Guidelines are intended to be administered in a flexible manner to achieve the highest quality
built enviroiunent for Clearwater Beach. These Guidelines were fully and satisfactorily
addressed as part of the analysis associated with the most recent Level II approval. As noted, no
changes are proposed with the exception of the addition of 30 hotel units within the appreved
building.

The site has been developed with a hc�tel and the proposal provides for 125 adaitional hotei
rooms within a new building which is a use permitted by the RFH FLUP classification.
➢ Development Parameters
Derrsi :
Pursuant to the Countywide Future Land Use Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the maxi�num
density for properties with a designation of Resort Facilities High is 50 overnight
accommodation units per acre. Based on the 3.908 acres zoned T District, a maximum of 195
overnight accommodation units would normalt�� be permissible under current regulations. The
site was the subject and approval of a Termination of Status of Nonconformity witli regarcl to
densi�y� (289 hotel units). That application also included a request to canvert 48 hotel units to 36
dwelling units. The conversion rate of hotel units to dwelling units, at the time, was 0.75
residential units per one hotel unit based on a density of 40 hotel and 30 dwelling units per acre
(30 divided by 40). In 20U6 a minor amendment was approved which converted an additional 52
hotel units to 39 dwelling units at the afarementioned conversion rate which bruught the total
number of hotel units converted to dwelling units to 100 (48 plus 52). These 100 hotel units
converted, at the time, to 75 dwelling units (100 times 0.75). Since 2006 tlic permitted density
for hotel units increased from 40 units per acre to SO while the density for dwelling units
remained the same. That means that the conversion rate of dwelling unit to holel unit increased
from 1.33 dwelling units per hotel unit (40 divided by 30) to 1.b7 (50 divided by 30). The
applieant is now converting those 75 dwelling units to 125 hotel units (75 times 1.b7).
Therefare, given the fact that the Termination of Status nf Noncanformity and the change in the
ratio of hotel units to dwelling units since 2006 the previously proposed number of hotel units
(314) was considered conforming. The applicant then determined that, with interior changes, an
additional 30 rooms could be accommodated. The only option to establish those units on the site
was through an atlocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve as part of a Hotel
Development Agreement. Such an agreement �vas approved by the City Council on June 19,
2014 increasing the density to 88 units per acre (3�4 units).
No other changes are proposed which �vill alter any component of the site plan or elevatians as
approved as part of FLD2013-11038 including:
• Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR)
� Minimum Lot Area and Width
• Minimum Setbacks
• Maximum Building Height
• Minimum Off-street Parking
• Mechanical Equipment
• Sight Visibility Triangles
• Utilities
� Landscaping
• Solid Waste
• Signage
➢ General Annlicability Criteria Requirements
No changes to the proposal other than interior changes to the proposed building to accommodate
the additional 30 hotel units are proposed. Therefore, the proposal eontinues to support the
General Applicability requirements of this Code pursuant to Section 3-91�.
Section �-206.D.=1: Burden of proof. The burden of proof is :epon the applicant ta shotir by

Exhibit C: Flexible Development
Application General Applicability Criteria
NOTE: There are no changes to the proposal as approved as part of
FLD2013-11038 except for interior modifications to accommodate the
additional 30 hotel units.
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 Entrada located at 521 South Gulfview Boulevard, currently consists of 189 overnight
accommodations and 204 parking spaces. The Owner requests approval to construct an accessory
structure which will add 155 limited service hotel units, parking garage, and the improvement of
curb appeal, and landscaping of the property. The additional rooms bring the property total to 344
overnight accommodations and increase parking spaces to 413.
The building height is at 98.67' above grade which is within the guidelines 50' below the maximum
guidelines. The building design is compatible in architectural detail with the existing building. The
new building will complement the surrounding buildings in color, height, bulk and architectural
style.
The property is located in the Clearwater Pass District which consists of similar uses along with
residential (condominiums) retail and restaurants, outdoor recreation and entertainment,
restaurant and attached dwelling units. The 440-450 West attached dwelling condominium towers
are located to the north of the subject property, and each tower is 157 feet in height. The
properties to the east are developed with retail sales and services and restaurant uses. The City's
Beach Walk project has been constructed transforming South Gulfview Boulevard to the north of
this site into a winding beachside promenade with lush landscaping, artistic touches and clear
views to Clearwater's beach.
The project will bring landscaping to current code and create a more attractive streetscape. The
immediate area is characterized by a variety of uses including overnight accommodation, retail
2. The proposed development will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and
use of adjacent land and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.

appropriate development or redevelopmen� The improvements will improve curb appeal; improve
parking and the efficiency of the subject property. Such improvements can only enhance the value

3. The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. The building will be designed to meet all state,
federal and local codes with respect to fire safety, potable water, sanitary sewer, traffic and
pedestrian safety.
The building maintains the existing use and does not introduce any new businesses that may
adversely affect the health of persons residing or working in the area. The proposed strueture will
comply as required with applicable codes including the Florida Building Code, the Life Safety Code
and the Florida Fire Prevention Code.
4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
Since the property is already an operating hotel, it is not anticipated that the additional rooms will
not significantly impact traffic. The results of a traffic study performed for this development
indicates that the project will not cause significantly increased traffic congestion. The additional
parking spaces will benefit the project, its guests and surrounding properties as it will provide
more than the required number of spaces.
5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate
vicinity of the parcel proposed for development.
The properties immediately adjacent to the subject are similar in character, size and bulk.
Redevelopment and new construction in the vicinity and along the beach, The subject property
incorporates Mediterranean architecture offered in a neutral color palate which is similar and
complementary to the properties to the east The properties to the north appear more
contemporary, however due to the landscape and color palate, the subject complements its
surroundings.
6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects including visual, acoustic
and olfactory and hours of operation impacts, on adjacent properties.
The building includes enhanced design elements on the fa�ade as required by Beach by
Design including adequate windows, vertical and horizontal plane changes and the
recommended color palette. The acoustic and olfactory impacts are minimized by
providing all of the parking within an enclosed parking garage. Hours of operation will be
24/7 which is consistent with surrounding properties catering to the tourist industry.
