character of adjacent properties in which it is located in
a. Redevelopment of the property is consistent with revitalization goals of the comprehensive code
and character set forth in the Tourist designation zoning. The subject property is overlaid by the
small hotel district per City of Clearwater's Beach by Design criteria. Brightwater Drive is located
on peninsula primarily buffered by a preservation area known as Clearwater Bay. The road is
mostly aligned with smaller scaled condominiums, motels and townhomes with limited heights
of 4 stories over parking. Larger resorts are primarily located towards the west along Hamden
Drive. Clearwater Bay contributes to the buffering of residential uses along Devon and Bayside
Drive and Small Hotel district which the property is located. Developments along Clearwater Bay
currently have docks constructed within the last five to eight years. Most structures along
Brightwater Drive appear to have minimal setbacks to the property lines, while maximizing
density potential allowed by the City of Clearwater's Comprehensive Plan and Community
Development Code.
Brightwater Biue Residences consists of thirty (30) Resort Attached Dwelling [RAD] units along
with thirty (30) private boat slips. There are two structures proposed for the development along
with an ancillary building with all three falling below maximum coverage allowed. A common
building will be incorporated serving the outdoor pool area, office, fitness center, and restrooms.
The Common Building and docks are for use by resort unit owners and guests. Once completed
the proposed development will have a maximum building height of 49' 8" feet (44' 6"above BFE)
or 3 stories over parking. Onsite parking shall be supplied within a garage accommodating two
(2) cars per unit with guest parking located on the grounds.
Brightwater Blue Residences is proposing a structure meeting minimum flexible criteria, while
maintaining a smaller scale development fitting the characteristics of Beach by Design's overlay.
The building coverage is below maximum allowed by the impervious surface ratio standards with
setbacks meeting or exceeding minimum requirements. The project incorporates a variety of
creative and attractive features such as artistic ,enhanced roof lighting; architectural details;
staggered building presentation; cornices; railed balconies; pilasters; a variation of building
materials, colors and textures; distinctive fenestration patterns; colored, patterned brick/stone
pavers, and enhanced lush, tropical landscaping.
Brightwater Blue Residences wiil complement and be in harmony with the adjacent neighbors by
matching similar height, bulk, scale and features for both programmatic and visual interest down
Brightwater Drive. Beach by Design guidelines do not specify specific character criteria for this
district but does discuss general building parameters within the Beach by Design overlay. The
design of the proposed project meets the intent for character of Beach by Design and

Comprehensive Plan. Improvements will contribute to adjacent properties by developing a
vacant piece of land, while removing an unfinished structure towards the east. Furthermore, the
project will implement a sidewalk along Brightwater Drive fully connecting sidewalks towards the
east and west contributing and promoting pedestrian friendly street level activities.
2. The proposed developmeni will not hinder or discourage the appropriate developments and use of the
adjacent /and and buildings or significantly impair the value thereof.
a. The proposed development serves the surrounding tourist and residential community as a
whole. The project will not hinder its neighbors, but bring value and help drive further
redevelopment to the area. The site will be developed and enhanced per the City of Clearwater's
Comprehensive Plan, Community Development Code, and Beach by Design requirements by
establishing a high standard of architecture that can be replicated by residential or commercial
uses. The subject building sets an even higher standard and utilizes architectural designs and
features reminiscent of Dutch West Indies architecture and of the overall characteristic for Small
Hotel District per Beach by Design.
Brightwater Blue Residences will become a place valued by both tourist and local residents that
have friends or families visiting Clearwater Beach. Furthermore, redevelopment of the property
will remove a non-conforming/unfinished structure onsite, while developing the rest of the
vacant land, thus eliminating visual hindrances along the roadway. Redevelopment will be of
Dutch West Indies in style contributing to a more active street level fa�ade along Brightwater
Drive, while completing construction on one of the last pieces of vacant land within the area.
Stepbacks beyond code requirements are provided along Brightwater Drive in relationship to the
balconies on level two. The value of the abutting properties will not be compromised, but will
likely be enhanced by the redevelopment of the property.
3. The proposed will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the proposed use.
a. The proposed development serves the surrounding tourist and residential community as a
whole. Brightwater Blue Residences will not adversely affect the health and safety of neighbors
or persons residing in the area. Currently employees from surrounding establishments park
within the public right-of-way adjacent to the subject property. Parked vehicles produce adverse
effects by limiting pedestrian activity and hindering vehicular movements depending on staging.
On-site Improvements incorporate parking for guests and/or owners implementing a pedestrian
safe sidewalk adjacent to the development. Other proposed improvements consists of
constructing a five (5) foot wide pedestrian sidewalk along Brightwater Drive further contributing
to the city's future goal for public parking within the right-of-way. Construction of the proposed
public sidewalk allows for residents of Brightwater Drive and guest to improve the health and
safety of pedestrian activity. There are no proposed uses that will have a detrimental effect on
the health of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.

Currently the site is vacant allowing for employees from surrounding establishments to park
within the city's right-of-way resulting in non-conforming or conflicting items.
Brightwater Blue Residences will allow guests to park in individual garages or within guest
parking stalls on-site. Furthermore, all employees will be required to either walk, could be
reimbursed for public transportation to work, or will be required to be dropped-off further
reducing or minimizing traffic congestion.
The installed pedestrian sidewalk also allows for alternative forms of traveling within the tourist
district by residents. There are several PSTA bus stops with drop-off and pickup locations
throughout Clearwater Beach known as the Jolly Trolley for employees, visitors and/or guests of
the complex west of Hamden Drive.

The proposed development minimizes adverse effects on adjacent properties by creating a more
active fa�ade, while contributing and connecting pedestrian friendly areas with other properties
down erightwater Drive. Redevelopment of the parcel for a resort attached dwelling is consistent
with allowable uses within the tourist zoning designation for Beach by Design's Small Motel
District. The proposed structure further reduces acoustic and olfactory effects by improving on-
site utilities will providing a structure meeting current building code regulations. Furthermore the
visual hindrance of the unfinished structure will be removed as part of the initial demolition
phase.

FLEXIBILITY CRITERIA - UPLAND
Q. RESORT ATTACHED DWELLINGS within "T" Tourist District
1. Height:
a. The increased height results in an improved site plan or improved design and appearance;
i. There are no proposed height increases beyond allowabfe code for the subject property.
The proposed building 1 structure contains 2 stories over individuol parking gorages and
building 2 structure contains 3 stories over individual parking garages. Height is limited
to 49' 8" feet above existing grade. Brightwater Blue Residences olso incorporates a IS
foot front setback to parking stalls and 10 feet side and rear setbacks to the building.
The proposed development results in an improved site, design and appearance os set
forth in the overlaying guidelines of eeach by Design and Clearwater's Community
Development Plan. The design has been altered from the original approval adding a 3rd
living level to building 2.
b. The increased height is necessary to allow the improvement of off-street parking on the
ground floor of the residential building.
i. There is no request to increase height above maximum allowed per code. The design has
been altered from the original approval adding a 3�d living level to building 2.
2. Off-street parking: Off-street parking within the footprint of the residential building is designed and
constructed to create a street level facade comparable to the architectural character and finishes of
a residential building without parking on the ground level;
a. Off-street parking for guest is contained within individual two- (2) car garage per unit. Guest
parking wil! be providing outside and onsite between the building and right-of-way. The
development meets minimum parking criteria for Resort Attached Dwellings at 1.5 spaces per
RAD unit or 60 parking stalls total. The architectural character, facade and finish are consistent
with providing a low-intensity street level fa�ade along Brightwater Drive fitting in with the small
hotel district and surrounding properties.
3. Frontsetback:
a. The reduction in front setback contributes to a more active and dynamic street life;
i. There are no reduction request to setbacks.
b. The reduction in front setback results in an improved site plan or improved design and
appearance.
i. There are no reduction request to setbacks.
4. Rear or Side setback:

criteria under the Tourist zoning designation. The design also provides for greater
emergency access and hose laying lengths for fire personal, while providing emergency
vehicle access into the front of the property.
b. The reduction in rear setback results in an improved site plan, more efficient parking or
improved design and appearance;
i. There are no reduction request to setbacks.
c. The reduction in rear setback does not reduce the amount of landscaped area otherwise
required.
i. There are no reduction request to setbacks.
5. The design of all buildings complies with the Tourist District design guidelines in Division 5 of
Article 3.
SECTION 3-501 TOURIST DISTRICT BEACH BY DESIGN DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. Density
The maximum permitted density of residential development shall
be 30 dwelling units per acre. Through the use of Transfer of Development
Rights (TDRs) from other property located within the Clearwater Beach
Community Redevelopment District, the maximum permitted density for
residential development may be increased by not more than 20 percent.
Historically the maximum permitted density for overnight
accommodation uses has been 40 units per acre. In order to assist in the
redevelopment of Clearwater Beach, the maximum permitted density in
Beach by Design shall be 50 units per acre.* It also allows this maximum
density of 50 units per acre to be exceeded through the allocation of units
from the Destination Resort Density Pool, the ailocation of units from the
Hotel Density Reserve, and the use of TDRs from other properties located
within the Clearwater Beach Community Redevelopment District in
compliance with the following provisions:
1. The amount of TDRs used for resorts/overnight accommodation
projects shall not be limited provided such projects can demonstrate
compliance with the provisions of this Plan, the Community
Development Code and concurrency requirements.
2. Any TDRs gained from the additional 10 overnight accommodation
units per acre authorized by this section of Beach by Design shall only
be used for overnight accommodation uses. The conversion of such
density to another use is prohibited.
Beach by Design also supports the allocation of additional density for resort
development through the Destination Resort Density Pool established in
Section V.B.1 of this plan, as well as the allocation of additional density for
mid-price hotels through the Hotel Density Reserve established in Section
V.6.2 of this plan. The maximum permitted floor area ratio for nonresident
development is limited to 1.0 pursuant to the Pinellas County Planning
Council intensity standards. -
erightwater elue Residences does not include a request for TDR's.

B. Height
Maximum height is prescribed by the respective zoning districts in the
Community Development Code unless otherwise restricted by Beach by Design.
The height may be increased, however, to one hundred fifty feet (150') if:
1. additional density is atlocated to the development either by transferred
development rights, 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;
2. portions of any structures which exceed one hundred feet (100') are
spaced at least one hundred feet (100') apart (with no more than two
(2) structures which exceed one hundred feet (100'j within five
hundred feet (500'); or four (4) structures which exceed one hundred
feet (100') within eight hundred feet (800') so long as the elevations
of all structures which exceed one hundred feet (100') when such
structures are viewed from the east do not occupy a total of forty
percent (40%) of a north south vertical plane which is parallel to the
alignment of Coronado and North Mandalay of the building envelope
above one hundred feet (100'�; and
The Proposed development falls within the small hotel district as outlined by
Beach by Design. Height within the designation is limited to 4 stories over
parking or 50 feet above base flood. Brightwater 81ue Residences is limited
in height to three stories over parking or 49' 8" feet above existing grade
(44' 6" BFE). The above criteria is not applicable.
3. the floor plate of any portion of a building that exceeds forty-five feet
(45') in height is limited as follows:
a) between forty-five feet (45') and one hundred feet (100'), the
floorplate will be no greater than 25,000 square feet except
for parking structures open to the public; and
b) between one hundred feet (100') and one hundred fifty feet
(150'), 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' as described in section C. 1.4 below
The Proposed development is limited to 49' 8" feet above existing grade (44'
6" BFEJ or three stories over parking. Beach by Design's small hotel district
allows for a buildinq to be fifty feet above base flood, thus the above criteria
is not applicable since the project is 49' S" feet from existing grade (44' 6"
BFE).

C. Design, Scale and Mass of Buildings
No particular architectural style is prescribed. However, good
architecture, from a community character perspective, comes in all shapes
and styles. There is, however, in every community an established
vocabulary of the "good;' the "bad," and the "ugly." New buildings should
respect this vocabulary and enhance the community character wherever
possible. The more daring the design, the more sensitive the particular
architecture is to failure.
Quantifiable aspects of the architectura� vocabulary are:
1. Buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet or a single
dimension of greater than one hundred (100) feet will be constructed so
that no more than two (2) of the three (3) building dimensions in the
vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. For this purpose, equal in
length means that the two lengths vary by less than forty percent (40%) of
the shorter of the two (2) lengths. The horizontal plane measurements
relate to the footprint of the building
The proposed development only consists of 30 individual units between,
2373 sf and 4639 sf within the building envelope and does not have a single
dimension more than 100 ft. in length. The longest building dimension is
only at 69 feet when combining 3 units together. This section is not
applicable.
2. No plane of a building may continue uninterrupted for greater than one
hundred linear feet (100'). For the purpose of this standard, interrupted
means an offset of greater than five feet (5').
The proposed development only consists of 30 individual units between
2373 sf and 4639 sf within the building envelope and does not have a single
dimension more than 100 ft. in length. The longest building dimension is
only at 69 feet when combining 3 units together. This section is not
applicable.
3. At least sixty percent (60%) of any elevation will be covered with windows
or architectural decoration. For the purpose of this standard, an elevation
is that portion of a building that is visible from a particular point outside
the parcel proposed for development.
At least 60% of the building fa�ade will be covered by architectural
decoration.
4. No more than sixty percent (60%) of the theoretical maximum building
envelope located above forty-five feet (45') will be occupied by a building.
However, in those instances where an overnight accommodations use on
less than 2.0 acres that has been allocated additional density via the Hotel
Density Reserve, no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the

theoretical maximum building envelope located above forty-five feet (45')
may be occupied by a building unless the property is located between
Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico, then no more than 70% may
be occupied by a building.
There is no building proposed with a theoreticol building envelope over 60%.
This section is not applicabfe.
5. 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 proposed height and mass of the building is correlated to dimensional
aspects of the proposed parcel and is consistent with adjacent and
surrounding properties within Beach by Design Districts. The proposed
fasade will incorporate balconies and awnings over each ground level
window with 2°d story building overhangs.
6. Buildings may be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of permitted
uses.
Redevelopment of the subject property consists only of a Resort Attached
Dwelling without a request for mixed-use occupancy.
D. Setbacks and Stepbacks
1. Rights-of-way.
The area between the building and the edge of the pavement as existing
and planned should be sufficiently wide to create a pedestrian-friendly
environment. The distances from structures to the edge of the right-of-
way should be:
a. Fifteen feet (15') along arterials, and
b. Twelve feet (12') along local streets
A ten foot (10') pedestrian path is key to establishing a pedestrian-
friendly place in the nonresidential environment. Accordingly, arcades
may be constructed in the public space, but may not narrow the
pedestrian path to less than ten feet (10'). 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.
There are no requests to reduce the setbacks, thus not applicoble.
2. Side and Rear Setbacks

~ (10
Brightwater Blue Residences UPLAND Narratives(4-30-20�5j
Except for the setbacks set forth above, no side or rear setback lines are
recommended, except as may be required to comply with the City's Fire
Code.
There are no reductions to the rear or side setbacks, thus not applicable.
3. Coronado Drive Setbacks and Stepbacks.
To reduce upper story massing along the street and ensure a human scale
street environment, buildings using the hotel density reserve along
Coronado Drive shall be constructed in accordance with the following:
e. Buildings constructed with a front setback of fifteen feet (15') or
more shall stepback with a minimum depth of fifteen feet (15')
from the setback line at a height not more than twenty-five feet
(25')•
b. Buildings constructed with a front setback greater than or equal
to ten feet (10') and less than fifteen feet (15') shall stepback at a
height not more than twenty feet (20'). The required stepback/
setback ratio is one and one-half feet (1.5') for every one foot (1')
reduction in setback in addition to the minimum stepback of
fifteen feet (15'). Buildings constructed with a front setback of
less than ten feet (10') shall provide a building stepback at a
height not more than fifteen feet (15'). The required stepback/
setback ratio is two and one-half feet (2.5') for every one foot (1')
reduction in setback in addition to the minimum stepback of
fifteen feet (15'►.
d. To achieve upper story facade variety and articulation, additional
stepbacks may be required. To avoid a monotonous streetscape, a
building shall not replicate the stepback configuration of the
neighboring buildings including those across rights-of-way.
e. Required stepbacks shall span a minimum of 75% of the building
frontage width.
The proposed development is located along Brightwater Drive and is not
applicable.
E. Street-Level Facades
The human scale and aesthetic appeal of street-level facades, and their
relationship to the sidewalk, are essential to a pedestrian-friendly
environment. Accordingly:
i. At least sixty percent (60%) of the street level facades of
Buildings used for nonresidential purposes which abut a public street or
pedestrian access way, will be transparent. For the purpose of this
standard:
8) street level facade means that portion of a building facade
from ground level to a height of twelve feet (12')
b� transparent means windows or doors that allow pedestrians
to see into:

ii. the building, or
iii. landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas, where street level
facades are set back at least fifteen feet (15') from the edge of the
sidewalk and the area between the sidewalk and the facade is a
landscaped or hardscape courtyard or plaza
iv. Parking structures should utilize architectural details and
design elements such a 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 development contributes to a more dynamic and
friendly pedestrian environment along erightwater Drive by
installing a pedestrian friendly sidewalk. At least 60% of the streec
level fa�ade will be landscaped and the architectural fa�ade will
incorporate architectural details and design elements as shown on
the attached rendering.
2. Window coverings, and other opaque materials may
cover no more than 10% of the area of any street-level
window in a nonresidential building that fronts on a public
right-of-way.
The proposed structure will not allow for any window
coverings or other opaque materials to any areas greater
than 10%.
3. Building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and
easily identified.
Goods for sale will not be displayed outside of a building,
except as a permitted temporary use. This standard does
not apply to outdoor food service establishments.
euilding entrances of each unit will be identified with covered
canopy and columns
4. Awnings and other structures that offer pedestrians
cover from the elements are recommended. Awnings help
define entryways and provide storefront identity to both
pedestrians and drivers.
Each unit will have covered canopies and canti(evered
balconies which helps create a pedestrian street scale
F. Parking Areas

Brightwater Blue Residences UPLAND Narratives(4-30-2015i
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 (3') and not more than three and one-half feet (31/2') in
height. Surface parking areas that are visible from public streets or other
public places will be landscaped such that the parking areas are defined
more by their landscaping materials than their paved areas when viewed
from adjacent property. The use of shade trees is encouraged in parking
lots. However, care should be taken to choose trees that do not drop
excessive amounts of leaves, flowers, or seeds on the vehicles below.
Entrances to parking areas should be clearly marked in order to
avoid confusion and minimize automobile-pedestrian conflicts. Attractive
signage and changes to the texture of the road (such as pavers) are
recommended.
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.
Each residence townhomes will be grouped in five areas
creoting a courtyard affect for the vehicles with one round-
about point of ingress and egress. A total of six drives will be
provided for the 30 units on site.
G. Signage
Signage is an important contributor to the overall character of a
place. However, few general rules apply to signage. Generally, signage
should be creative, unique, simple, and discrete. Blade signs, banners and
sandwich boards should not be discouraged, but signs placed on the
sidewalk shoutd not obstruct pedestrian traffic.
Signage will be provided along the building fa�ade and where
applicable per code allowance. Once designed a separate package will be
submitted for review under separate cover.
H. Sidewalks
Sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at least ten
feet (10') in width. All sidewalks along arterials and retail streets will be
landscaped with palm trees, spaced to a maximum of thirty-five feet (35')
on centers, with "clear grey" of not less than eight feet (8'). Acceptable
palm trees include sabal palms (sabal palmetto), medjool palms (phoenix
dactylifera 'medjool'), and canary island date palms (phoenix canariensis).
Sidewalks along side streets will be landscaped with palms (clear trunk of
not less than eight feet (8')) or shade trees, spaced at maximum intervals
of thirty-five feet (35') on centers.
1. Portions of required sidewalks may be improved for non-
pedestrian purposes including outdoor dining and landscape
material, provided that movement of pedestrians along the
sidewalk is not obstructed; and
2. non-pedestrian improvements and uses are located on the street

side of the sidewalk.
Distinctive paving patterns should be used to separate permanent
sidewalk cafe improvements from the pedestrian space on the sidewalk.
To enhance pedestrian safety and calm traffic, distinctive paving should
also be used to mark crosswalks.
The proposed development incorporates on-site landscaping aligning the
right-of-way of Brightwater Drive. Due to existing site and right-of-way
constraints there is no londscaping proposed within the right-of-way. A 5
foot wide pedestrian sidewalk will be installed connecting broken pieces
along the east ond west ends. Also, improvements furthermore allow for an
improved pedestrian friendly environment adjacent to the property by
eliminating non-conforming parking within the city's right-of-way.
I. Street furniture and eicycle Racks
Street furniture, including benches and trash receptacles should
be liberally placed along the sidewalks, at intervals no greater than thirty
linear feet (30') of sidewalk. Bicycle racks should also be provided,
especially near popular destinations, to promote transportation
alternatives. Complicated bicycle rack systems should be avoided. The
placement of street furniture and bicycle racks should not interrupt
pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk.
The propose development will offer a 6-stall bicyde rack for guests of the
resort onsite to promote alternative forms of transportation on Clearwater
Beach. There are no hardscope items proposed within the City's right-of-
way.
1. Street Lighting
Street lighting should respond to the pedestrian-
oriented nature of a tourist destination. In this context, it
should balance the functional with the attractive — providing
adequate light to vehicular traffic, while simultaneously
creating intimate spaces along the sidewalks. Clearwater's
historic lighting is an attractive, single-globe fixture atop a
cast-iron pole.
The proposed development is not proposing placement and/or
improvement to existing street lights.
K. Fountains
Fountains provide attractive focal points to public spaces and add
natural elements to urban environments. They should be interesting,
engaging and unique. While it is important not to overburden architectural
creativity regarding fountains, they should meet at least the following
standards in order to be a functional and attractive component of the
public space:
1. They should be supplemented with street furniture such as

benches and trash receptacles, and
2. They should have rims that are:
8. Tall enough to limit unsupervised access by small children,
and
b. Wide enough to permit seating. fountains should be encouraged
in landscaped and hardscaped courtyards and plazas.
Property improvements does include the use of fountains due to the limited
amount of space between landscaping elements and pedestrian pathways.
Hardscape elements such as trash receptacles and benches will be located
throughout the site.
L. Materials and Colors
1. Facades
Finish materials and building colors will reflect Florida or coastal vernacular
themes. All awnings should contain at least three (3) distinct colors.
Bright colors will be limited to trims and other accents. Glass curtain
walls are prohibited.
2. Sidewalks: Sidewalks shall be constructed of:
a. Pavers;
b. Patterned, distressed or special aggregate concrete; or
c. Other infused treatment that distinguishes the
sidewalks from the typical suburban concrete
sidewalks.
Materials should be chosen to minimize the cost and complexity of
maintenance.
This project is intended to evoke the feeling of Dutch West lndies with a beach
community feel along with traditional West indies Island Architecture. Since the
building has minimal setbacks. The building fa�ade will incorporate balconies and
awnings over ground level windows and the main entrance. Other architectural
features can be found on the colored rendering submitted. Sidewalks will be in
accordance with the City of Clearwater Construction Specification standards.
3. Street Furniture
d. Street furniture will be constructed of low-
maintenance materials, and will be in a color that is
compatible with its surroundings.
The proposed bicycle rack will be powdered coated,
maintained and stored onsite if necessary. There are no other
street furniture, lighting or elements are proposed within the
right-of-way.
4. Color Palette
i. Recommended palette for building colors is presented within
Beach by Design criteria.
See architectural renderings for color selection.
