WHEREAS, Pinellas County is approaching a built -out condition, and planned

WHEREAS, a Joint Land Use and Transportation Committee ( "committee"),
consisting of three representatives from each of the following: the Pinellas Planning

of integrating transportation and future land use planning at the countywide level; and
WHEREAS, the committee recommended that this integrated process include a
new Countywide Future Land Use Plan ( "Countywide Plan "), which establishes a broad,
forward- looking land use planning framework, incorporates and guides multimodal
transportation planning and allows sufficient flexibility to accommodate the
redevelopment needs of local committees; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Florida adopted a "Special Act"
(Chapter 2012 -245, Laws of Florida), which in part directed that the existing countywide
plan be repealed and replaced by the adoption of a new, broadly defined, and policy -
based countywide plan with fewer land use categories; and
WHEREAS, the Special Act allowed for a one -time grant of authority to repeal
and replace the existing countywide plan map to place any new plan map categories
designated under a new countywide plan on particular parcels of property, as
applicable; and
WHEREAS, the new Countywide Plan will help to preserve and enhance the high

WHEREAS, the new plan will relate better to our transportation system and will
integrate land use and transportation efforts in a single planning document; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Countywide Rules establish an updated Activity
Center (AC) plan category to be depicted on the updated Countywide Plan Map to
recognize those areas that have been identified and planned for as important,
identifiable centers of business, public, and residential activity, that are the focal point of
a community, and served by enhanced public transit commensurate with the type,
scale, and intensity of use; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Countywide Rules establish a new Multimodal Corridor
(MMC) plan category to be depicted on the updated Countywide Plan Map to recognize
those corridors of critical importance to the movement of people and goods throughout
the county, and that are served or are planned to be served by multiple modes of
transport, including automobile, bus, bicycle, rail, and /or pedestrian; which includes
those transportation corridors connecting Activity Centers, characterized by mixed -use
development, and in particular, supported by and designed to facilitate enhanced public
transit; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the proposed Countywide Rules, the Activity Center
(AC) and Multimodal Corridor (MMC) plan categories will each have five subcategories
which will ultimately regulate designated properties' allowable densities and intensities
and which will be applied at the time of local adoption of the appropriate subcategories
on the City of Clearwater Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map; and
WHEREAS, the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Citywide Design Structure
identifies the Clearwater Mall/Parkplace Area and Countrywide MaII/Westfield Area as
major activity centers and identifies US 19 as a corridor to redevelop; and

ongoing efforts to make Clearwater a more sustainable, livable and economically
competitive community; and
WHEREAS, the US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan builds upon previous City
plans including Clearwater Greenprint and the Economic Development Strategic Plan,
both completed in 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Clearwater Greenprint, a Framework for a Competitive, Vibrant,
Green Future sets forth goats and strategies for the City, including the creation of
vibrant mixed -use activity centers, the transformation of vacant and underutilized
properties to assets that provide economic, social and environmental benefits, and an
increase in mobility for pedestrians, cyclists and transit users; and
WHEREAS, the revitalization and redevelopment strategies for the US 19
corridor include planning for land use intensification, applying new zoning regulations,

WHEREAS, the US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan included a Plan Framework
Map identifying three types of revitalization areas along the US 19 corridor: Regional
Centers, Neighborhood Centers, and In- Between Areas; and
WHEREAS, in order to allow for redevelopment along the corridor at increased
densities and intensities as envisioned within the US 19 Corridor Redevelopment Plan
and allowed for in the proposed Countywide Rules, boundaries need to be established
by parcel and must be reflected in the updated Countywide Plan Map; and
WHEREAS, the proposed US 19 Regional and Neighborhood Centers are
consistent with the purpose of the amended Activity Center (AC) plan category; and
WHEREAS, the proposed US 19 Corridor (in- between area) is consistent with
