(ANX2014-12026) These voluntary annexation petitions involve three parcels of land totaling 0.827 acres. The parcels are occupied by single-family dwellings. The lots are located generally east of South Hercules Avenue and west of South Belcher Road, north of Lakeview Road and south of Druid Road. The applicants are requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to City sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City's Belcher Area Sanitary Sewer System Extension Project Area. The properties are contiguous to existing city limits along at least one property boundary. It is proposed that the properties be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: • The properties currently receive water service from Pinellas County. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the properties by the City. The applicants will connect to the City's sanitary sewer service when it is available, and are aware of the sewer impact fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The properties are located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Page 5 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2015 Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to the properties by Station 49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive. The City has adequate capacity to serve these properties with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. Water service will continue to be provided by the County. The proposed annexations will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and • The proposed annexations are consistent with and promote the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: 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. Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City's tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request. • The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of the properties. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the properties is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject properties are consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the properties exceed the District's minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexations are therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and • The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing City limits along at least one property boundary; therefore, the annexations are consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

(ATA2014-12011) The City of Clearwater Planning and Development Department identified an area within the Clearwater Planning Area with a large concentration of properties with Agreements to Annex (ATAs) that are eligible for annexation. These properties are located east of U.S. Highway 19, north of State Road 590, south of South Drive, and west of El Trinidad Drive. Subdivisions in this area include Virginia Grove Terrace, Carlton Terrace, and Pinellas Terrace. The Department identified a total of 189 properties in this area that could be annexed through a phased approach over several years, and to date 180 properties have been annexed. This application, which has been identified as Phase H of the overall annexation project, includes six properties. Current or previous owners of these properties entered into ATAs between 1983 and 2008 to obtain sanitary sewer service. The Planning and Development Department is initiating this project to bring the properties into the City's jurisdiction in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the agreements. The Phase H properties are occupied by 5 detached dwellings and 1 attached dwelling (2 units) on 1.162 acres of land. All properties are contiguous to city limits along at least one property boundary. The Development Review Committee is proposing that approximately 0.44-acres of right-of-way throughout this area on Evans Drive Page 16 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2015 and South Drive not currently within the city limits also be annexed. It is proposed that five properties be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL), and 2735/2737 South Drive be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Medium (RM). It is proposed that five properties be assigned the zoning designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District with the exception of the 2735/2737 South Drive property where it is proposed that the parcel be assigned a zoning designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR). Additionally, the property at 1756 Evans Drive should also be assigned the Future Land Use Map designation of Preservation (P)/ Drainage Feature Overlay and a zoning designation of Preservation (P) District, consistent with the boundaries of a drainage ditch which traverses this property. The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: • The properties currently receive sanitary sewer service from the City and water service from Pinellas County. Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City. The properties are located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 N. McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to these properties by Station 48 located at 1700 Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve the properties with solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. Water service will continue to be provided by Pinellas County. The proposed annexations will not have an adverse effect on public facility levels of service; and • The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: 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. Policy A.7.1.3: Invoke agreements to annex where properties located within enclaves meet the contiguity requirements of Florida Statutes Chapter 171. Objective A.7.2: Diversify and expand the City's tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. The proposed Residential Low (RL), Residential Medium (RM), Preservation (P), and Drainage Feature Overlay Future Land Use Map categories are consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of the properties. The Residential Low (RL) designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre while the Residential Medium (RM) designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 15 units per acre. The Preservation (P) and Drainage Feature Overlay categories proposed to be applied to 1756 Evans Drive recognize the watershed and drainage features on the property. The proposed zoning districts to be assigned to the properties are the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), and Page 17 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2015 the Preservation (P) Districts. The uses of the subject properties are consistent with the uses allowed in the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) Districts. The property located at 2735/2737 South Drive is an existing duplex which is consistent with the allowable density of the underlying Residential Medium Future Land Use designation. All setbacks meet Flexible Standard Development requirements while lot area and width could be accommodated through the Residential Infill provisions of the MDR zoning district. The remaining properties exceed the minimum dimensional requirements of the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District; therefore, the proposed annexation is consistent with the Countywide Plan, Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, and Clearwater Community Development Code; and • The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing City limits along at least one property boundary; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044. Councilmember Polglaze moved to approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL), Residential Medium (RM), and Preservation (P)/Drainage Feature Overlay and initial Zoning Atlas designations of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Preservation (P) for 1753 and 1756 Evans Drive, 1773 Owen Drive, 1800 Cardinal Drive, 2634 Woodring Drive, and 2735 and 2737 South Drive; together with certain right-of-ways of Evans Drive and South Drive. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Ordinance 8665-15 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Hamilton moved to pass Ordinance 8665-15 on first reading.

Second Readings - Public Hearing 9.1 Adopt Ordinance 8681-15 on second reading, amending the Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, relating to Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Schedule of Fees, Rates and Charges Section XI, establishing additional options in lieu of non-resident card purchase for youth involved in City Co-Sponsored residential youth groups and disabled United States military veterans. In June of 2005, the City Council approved Ordinance 7389-05 establishing new formulas for nonresidents wishing to use City recreation facilities and/or programs. The formula established at that time has been used for all nonresidents including youth involved in recreation youth groups and disabled United States veterans. That formula is as follows: Department Office/Management Budget + Indirect Overhead - Budgeted Revenue = Net budget divided by population = subtotal Subtotal + Capital Improvement Program recovery component + Card processing fee x surcharge factor = Individual non-resident yearly fee In an effort to provide a more affordable fee for youth non-residents who participate in one of the City's recreational youth co-sponsor groups and/or United States veterans who are disabled, staff is recommending that additional options in lieu of nonresident card purchase be added. The new options will provide for the following: 1. Youth registered in a City co-sponsored recreational youth group may purchase a non-resident individual youth sports card using the same formula as above less a surcharge factor. (savings of$60; new fee would be $120) 2. Two or more youth from the same family registered in a City co-sponsored recreational youth group may purchase a non-resident multi-youth sports card using the formula for Non-resident individual youth sports card X 1.5. (new fee would be $180) 3. Disabled United States military veterans may get a discount on their non-resident fee based on the percentage rate of their disability. (If disability is 50% the fee would be 50% less than the current nonresident fee, which is $180 less 50% or$90.) Page 19 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2015 These options will allow more nonresident youth and families to participate in and learn about sports from the various recreational leagues offered by City cosponsored groups. Nonresident adults and youth make these groups stronger and provide leadership so they can continue offering sports to the community and in particular to the residents of Clearwater. This ordinance also recognizes the contributions and sacrifices of our many disabled veterans who live in nonresident areas in our county. Staff has included a Motion to Amend for Council's consideration: replacing the word residential in the ordinance title with recreational. Ordinance 8681-15 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Jonson moved to amend the title of Ordinance 8681-15 to read, "An Ordinance of the City of Clearwater, Florida, relating to parks, beaches, and recreation; amending Appendix A, Schedule of Fees, Rates and Charges, Section XI, Parks, Beaches, Recreation, to establish additional options in lieu of non-resident card purchase for youth involved in city co-sponsored residential recreational youth groups and disabled united states military veterans; providing an effective date." The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Councilmember Hamilton moved to adopt Ordinance 8681-15 on second and final reading, as amended. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was: Ayes: 4 - Mayor Cretekos, Councilmember Jonson, Councilmember Hamilton and Councilmember Polglaze 9.2 Adopt Ordinance 8682-15 on second reading, approving the request from Calvary Baptist Church (a/k/a First Baptist Church of Clearwater) to vacate two portions of public right-of-way and an Easement for Right of Way, Sidewalk and Utilities. (VAC2014-04) First Baptist Church of Clearwater, Inc. (Calvary) has requested the right-of-way and easement vacations. None of the areas proposed for vacation are currently maintained for public use. Calvary owns all adjoining property and plans to use the property for expansion of its existing facilities located on the southwest corner of McMullen Booth Road and Drew Street. If vacated, the City will continue to own fee title to one of the right-of-way portions. At a later date, staff will submit a recommendation to Council to declare this parcel as surplus for the purpose of selling the property in accordance with the City's property surplus procedures. Page 20 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2015 Affected private utility providers were consulted and each has provided a letter of no objection to the vacation request. The Engineering Department conducted an interdepartmental review of the vacation request. All City service and utility providers, potentially affected by the vacation, have no objection to the request. Ordinance 8682-15 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Jonson moved to adopt Ordinance 8682-15 on second and final reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was: Ayes: 4 - Mayor Cretekos, Councilmember Jonson, Councilmember Hamilton and Councilmember Polglaze 10.
