ANALYSIS: Location and Existing Conditions: The 0.15-acre subject property is located on the east side of Coronado Drive approximately 185 feet north Brightwater Drive. The property is located within the Tourist (T) District and the Resort Facilities High (RFH) Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category. The subject property is also located within the Small Motel District of Beach by Design. The property is occupied by one building with five parking spaces to the rear of the site. The building was built in 1951 (according to Pinellas County Property Appraiser records) and is currently vacant. The most recent permitted primary use of the site was an office which City records indicate as being closed since January 2��g. Vehicular access to the site is provided via two driveways with one each at the north and south sides of the site along Coronado Drive. A circular driveway traverses the west portion of the site in front of the building. Off-street parking is accommodated via five off-street parking spaces located on the east side of the site. �O � � � � � L � :�, PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION a �a $ a° ° V w� � s � � � �F! !Sr LOGq'TION MI � N.T.S CLEARWATER .

Development Proposal: The proposal is to repurpose the existing building and site as an Alcoholic Beverage Sales use. The existing parking lot and the main building will be retained with the proposal with the exception of the circular driveway along Coronado Drive; the north driveway will be eliminated limiting vehicular access to the site from the south driveway only. The narrow addition on the east side of the main building will be removed and replaced with four parking spaces. While Alcoholic Beverage Sales are permissible as a Level One Flexible Standard Development (FLS), this application has been submitted as a Level Two Flexible Development (FLD) request because a change of use is one of the triggers which requires that a site be brought up to compliance with the Community Development Code (CDC). The existing building encroaches into the side (north) setback beyond that as otherwise permitted as a Level One FLS. In addition, the proposed use requires five parking spaces (five spaces per 1,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area) where there is only room for four spaces (one existing space will be lost to accommodate a Code-compliant solid waste container and screening which is permitted pursuant to CDC Section 3-201.D which allows for the reduction of up to two parking spaces in the redevelopment of an existing building in order to accommodate a solid waste container). Changes to the site and buildings include renovations to the exterior and interior of the building and the addition of new landscaping. It should be mentioned that the otherwise required criteria for Alcoholic Beverage Sales as part of a Level I Flexible Standard application include a prohibition against locating adjacent to residentially zoned land, providing direct access to a major arterial street, meeting the applicable Design Guidelines and providing a more active street life and improved design or appearance. All of these criteria are either met or not applicable to the proposal. Any new signage (attached or freestanding), although not included with this submission, will be required to comply with the applicable provisions of the CDC. Special Area Plan: Beach bv DesiQn: Small Motel 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 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. The vision of the Small Motel District of Beach by Design contemplates that the existing improvements in the Small Motel District will be sustained over time. Although the existing improvements may not represent the theoretical "highest and best" use of this area, the relatively good condition of most buildings and the economic value of the existing improvements make it difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate significant land assembly, demolition and new development. This development would constitute a consolidation of land with new construction and will further the trend of quality redevelopment and/or improvements of properties along South Gulfview Boulevard within the area including the Harborview Grande, the Entrada and Shephard's.

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 an Alcoholic Beverage Sales use. No additional density or intensity of use is requested therefore this guideline is not strictly applicable to the request. Section B specifically addresses buildings greater than 45 feet in height. The development proposal provides for a building 23 feet in height as measured from grade to the highest architectural feature. Please note that typically height is measured from the point at which minimum floor elevations in flood prone areas have been established by law. In this case the applicant has not yet determined that point. It should also be noted that only the proposed entry feature will be at this height with the remainder of the building remaining at a height of approximately 13 feet above grade. As such, it is safe to assume that the height of the building, per the CDC, will actually be less than the noted 23 feet from grade. Furthermore, a height of up to 35 feet would be otherwise permissible as part of a Level I Flexible Standard Development application. Therefore, 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 1,090 square feet and no plane of the building extends for more than 45 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 fa�ade continues for more than 45 feet in length. Therefore, this provision is supported by 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 facade visible from offsite is the west facade. The building will undergo a dramatic facelift and the west fa�ade will be improved to consist almost completely of windows and the entry into the building. Landscaping along the west side of the site is also proposed. Therefore, this provision is supported by the proposal. Community Development Board August 18, 2015 FLD2015-05018 — Page 3 ° Clearwater Level II Flexible Develo ment A lication Review PLANtIING & DEVELOPMENT P pp DEVELOPMENT REV�,W DIVISION � , 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. No portion of the building extends beyond 23 feet above grade. Therefore, this section is not applicable to the proposal. Section C. S 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 Coronado Drive right-of-way is 60 feet in width. The closest point of the building to the west (front) property line is 10 feet. Given the height of the building there should be no negative effect on adjacent public spaces. It bears noting that the building has been in place since 1951 without evidence of 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 an Alcoholic Beverage Sales use. Section D addresses the issues of sidewalk widths, setbacks and stepbacks. The distance between the edge of the right-of-way along arterials and a building should be a minimum of 15 feet where the proposal provides a distance of approximately 10 feet along Coronado Drive between the building and edge of right-of-way. The section identifies a 10 foot pedestrian path as key in establishing a pedestrian-friendly environment. The sidewalk adjacent to the site along Caronado Drive as well as extending to the north and south is seven feet in width and has already been improved by the City with palm trees and decorative brick edging. No changes to the sidewalk are proposed. It should be noted that this section also provides that, except for setbacks along rights-of-way, no side or rear setback lines are recommended, except as may be required to comply with the City's Fire Code. This section also provides guidance with regard to building stepbacks for buildings along Coronado Drive which balances height, stepbacks and setbacks. Generally speaking, the less the setback the lower the height at which a building stepback is required to take place. Given the height of the building (23 feet above grade) and that the setback of 10 feet is only to the entry of the building where most of the building is setback 20 feet from the front (west) property line as well as the fact that the sidewalk has already been improved by the City this section is generally satisfied by the proposal. Section E addresses issues of street-level facades and the incorporation of human-scale features into the facades of buildings. The proposal maintains the building which is pedestrian in scale and scope and includes improvement such as the provision of display windows along most of the west fa�ade facing Coronado Drive. In addition, the site plan includes new landscaping along Coronado Drive. 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 Community Development Board August 18, 2015 FLD2015-05018 — Page 4 � Cll.itl 1't �l��l Level II Flexible Development Application Review PL`�.'N�G � DEVeLOPMErrr ..�^� w � a�;. . . . . . DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION three feet and not more than 3.5 in height. Parking is provided via four off-street parking spaces on the east side of the site behind the existing building. The entire parking area will be screened with solid fencing along the north, south and east property lines. The parking lot will not be readily visible from off-site. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal. Section G addresses issues related to signage. Signage is not present on the site. While 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 proposes no changes to the existing sidewalk approximately seven feet in width. The sidewalk, recently improved by the City with palm trees and decorative brick edging, remains in good condition and is consistent with the sidewalk width to the north and south of the site and provides adequate space for pedestrians to walk. Therefore, this Guideline is met by this proposal. Section I addresses issues related to street furniture and bicycle racks. Street furniture, bicycle racks and the like are not proposed with this development. However, in the event that the applicant desires to include any street furniture or bicycle racks they will be required to coordinate with City Staff with regard to the placement and installation methodology of such items. Therefore, this Guideline is not currently applicable to this proposal. Section J addresses issues related to street lighting. Street lighzing installed by the City already exists along Coronado Drive. 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 existing building, built in 1951 is indicative of a Key West-style of architecture. The building will be painted (all Sherwin Williams colors) Kumquat (orange), Gleeful (green), Ruby Shade (red) and Extra White. The proposed color scheme and material schedule generally meet the requirements of this section. Comprehensive Plan: The proposal is supported by applicable various Goals, Objectives and/or Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan as follows: Future Land Use Plan Element Policy 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 proposal, as discussed, meets the requirements of the CDC providing landscaping along Coronado Drive. Therefore, the proposal supports this Policy.

Policy A.S. S.1 - Development should be designed to maintain and support the existing or envisioned character of the neighborhood. 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. Objective A.6.2 — The City of Clearwater shall continue to support innovative planned development and mixed land use development techniques in order to promote infill development that is consistent and compatible with the surrounding environment. Objective A.6.4 — Due to the built-out character of the ciry of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code. Policy A.6.4.1 - The development or redevelopment of small parcels [less than one (1) acreJ 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. Policy A.6.8.3 - Where appropriate, development shall provide a sense of pedestrian scale on streets through minimal fi°ont setbacks, similar building heights, street trees and proportionality of building heights to street widths. 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. 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 and is well on the way to being met (perhaps even exceeded) in many areas of the Beach. The Small Motel District is one area that has seen a great deal of redevelopment activity. The proposal includes the adaptive reuse of a small site less than a quarter-acre in area which also receives an adequate level of service. The proposed Alcoholic Beverage Sales use will bring an active use to a site which has been largely vacant since 2008, will support the tourist and residential bases on the beach and should be seen as one more step in the revitalization of the Beach. Improvements include a complete renovation to the interior and exterior of the building as well as new landscaping and fencing. The fa�ade of the building facing Coronado Drive will consist nearly entirely of windows and the entrance into the building and will be pedestrian in scale. Therefore, the proposal supports these Objectives and Policies.

Community Development Code 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. Section 1-103.B.2. Ensuring that development and redevelopment will not have a negative impact on the value of suYrounding properties and wherever practicable promoting development and redevelopment which will enhance the value of surrounding properties. Section 1-103. B. 3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole. 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. Section 1-103. E. S. 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 property owner will reuse an underutilized property incorporating a variety of improvements and upgrades to an existing building built in 1951 including new paint, windows, doors, landscaping and signage. The site has been vacant, according to City records, since 2008. The applicant has endeavored, unsuccessfully, to market the site as an office. The applicant has come to the conclusion that the only option to establish some sort af retail operation on the site. Surrounding properties are generally developed with a myriad of uses indicative of a tourist destination including overnight accommodations, retail sales and services, bars, nightclubs, outdoor recreation and entertainment, restaurants and attached dwellings. It is expected that the immediate area will be enhanced through improved vehicular access by the elimination of one driveway, an extensive rehabilitation of the building's interior and exterior, and the installation of new landscaping and fencing. The proposed use will serve local residents and tourists and will be consistent with regard to the desired form and function of the Small Motel District of Beach by Design and meets the Design Guidelines of that document. Therefore, the proposal supports this CDC Section. Section 2-401.1 Intent of the T District and RFH FL UP classification. The CDC provides that 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. Community Development Board August l 8, 2015 FLD2015-OSOI 8 — Page 7 � Cl�.11��(4L�.L Level II Flexible Develo ment A lication Review PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT p pp DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION �,. � Section 2.3.3.4.6 of the Countywide Plan Rules provides that the purpose of the RFH FLUP classification is to depict those areas of the County that are now developed, or appropriate to be developed, with high density residential and resort, tourist facility uses, 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. Primary and Secondary uses include residential and office uses. The site is proposed to be reused as an Alcoholic Beverage Sales use which is permitted by the RFH FLUP classification. Development Parameters: Intensitv of Use: Pursuant to the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC Section 2-801.1, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for properties with a designation of RFH is 1.0. The proposal includes an Alcoholic Beverage Sales use with 1,090 square feet of gross floor area which results in a FAR of 0.174. The proposal is consistent with the Countywide Plan Rules and 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 proposed ISR is 0.74, which is consistent with the Countywide Plan Rules and CDC. Minimum Lot Area and Width: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum required lot area and width for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-802, the minimum required lot area and width for Alcoholic Beverage Sales is 5,000 square feet and 50 feet, respectively. The subject property is 6,658 square feet in area and 60 feet in width. The proposal is consistent with these Code provisions. Minimum Setbacks: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there are no minimum required setbacks for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2- 802, the minimum front setback for Alcoholic Beverage Sales can range between 10 and 15 feet, side setbacks are 10 feet and rear setbacks are 20 feet. CDC Table allows front and side setbacks of zero feet and rear setbacks of 10 feet. The Design Guidelines (Section D) of Beach by Design also regulates front setback and this is addressed in detail previously in this report In addition, Section 3-903, CDC, provides that within the T District, the setback for parking lots shall be based a dimension consistent with the existing/proposed building setback, or at a dimension consistent with setbacks required or otherwise established by Beach by Design, whichever is less. Section F of the Design Guidelines within Beach by Design provides that all parking areas are to 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 feet in height. Surface parking areas that are visible from public streets or other public places must be landscaped such that the parking areas are defined more by their landscaping materials than their Community Development Board August 18, 20] 5 FLD2015-050 t 8— Page 8 � Cl'Irttl 1'�L�l Level II Flexible Develo mentA lication Review PLANNING&DEVELOPMENT p Pp DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION � �.. paved areas when viewed from adjacent properties. Furthermore, Section D of the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design provides that, except for setbacks along rights-of-way no side or rear setback lines are recommended, except as may be required to comply with the City's Fire Code. The required setback to parking along Coronado Drive is therefore, three feet with no setbacks required along the sides and rear. The proposal includes a front (west) setback of 10 feet (to building) and zero feet (patio), a side (north) setback of four feet (to existing building) and zero feet (to patio), a side (south) setback of 11 feet (to existing building), 23 feet (to carport), five feet (to solid waste area) and zero feet (to pavement), a rear (east) setback of 63 feet (to existing building), five feet (to shed and carport) and zero feet (to pavement and solid waste area). The parking component will be screened from view from Coronado Drive by the existing building and from adjacent properties by fencing six feet in height. Therefore the proposal is consistent with this Code provision and Beach by Design. Maximum Building Hei� Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no maximum height for a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to CDC Table 2-802, the ma�cimum allowable height for Alcoholic Beverage Sales is 35 feet. CDC Table 2-803 permits such uses at a height of up to 50 feet. The proposed building height of 23 feet from grade is permitted and meets all applicable portions of the Design Guidelines. Therefore, the development proposal is consistent with this Code provision. Minimum Off-street Parkin�: Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum off-street parking requirement for Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Projects. However, as a point of reference, pursuant to Tables 2-802 and 803, parking for Alcoholic Beverage Sales is five spaces per 1,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area which requires a minimum of five spaces for 1,090 square feet where four spaces are provided. It should be noted that Section 3-201.D.4 permits a reduction of up to two parking spaces for the provision of solid waste containers in the redevelopment of an existing building. The proposal is therefore consistent with this Code provision. 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. Mechanical equipment is located along the northeast corner of the building and is fully screened by the existing building and a wood fence six feet in height. The proposal is therefore consistent with this Code provision. Sight Visibility Triangles: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-904.A, to minimize hazards at the intersection of streets and/or driveways, 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. This proposal does not propose any structures within the required sight visibility triangles and landscaping within them will be limited to groundcovers and low shrubs, complying with this provision. This proposal has been reviewed by the City's Traffic Community Development Board August l8, 2015 FLD201 5-0501 8 — Page 9 � C!\.il�l 1'1'�l�l Level II Flexible DevelopmentApplication Review FLANNING&DEVEI,OPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DMSION . . .� .�ta;.. , .. . Engineering Department and been found to be acceptable. Landscaping located within the sight visibility triangles will need to be maintained to meet the Code requirements. 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. There are no existing overhead utility lines serving this development within the Coronado Drive right-of-way. All proposed utilities that will serve the site will be placed underground. Landscaping: Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D, there are no perimeter buffers required in the Tourist District for this site. Pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.E, vehicular use areas in excess of 4,000 square feet require at least 10 percent of that area to be dedicated to interior green space. The proposal includes 2,516 square feet of vehicular use area which does not require any interior landscape areas. Landscaping is provided primarily along the west side of the site along Coronado Drive. The proposal is therefore consistent with this Code provision. Solid Waste: The proposal will utilize a new dumpster to accommodate all solid waste needs. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid Waste Department. Si�a�e.� The proposal does not include a sign package at this time. All signage will be required to meet the applicable portions of the CDC and the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design. Compliance with General Applicability Standards: The proposal supports the General Applicability requirements of this Code 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. 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. Section 3-914.A.3.

The subject site is surrounded by a myriad of uses indicative of a tourist destination including overnight accommodations, retail sales and services, restaurants and attached dwellings ranging in height from one to 15 stories. The area in which the subject property is located can best be described as an area in flux with a wide range of building forms, styles and sizes. The proposal is, as discussed in relation to CDC Section 3-914.A.1, above, consistent with the character of adjacent properties and with the intent and vision of Beach by Design, the Small Motel District and the Design Guidelines. The proposed Alcoholic Beverage Sales use will constitute an appropriate use for the neighborhood and will likely have no effect, negative or otherwise, on the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. The proposal includes mostly aesthetic improvements limited to landscaping and upgrades to the existing structure. The proposed use, Alcoholic Beverage Sales, is expected to be supported primarily by residents and tourists already at the beach is not anticipated to be a destination in and of itself and should result in little to no net increase in the amount of traffic in the area. Therefore, the proposal supports this Code section. Compliance with Flexibility Criteria: The proposal supports the specific Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project criteria pursuant to CDC Section 2-803.D as follows: The development or redevelopment is othe�rvise impractical without deviations from the use and/or development standards set forth in this zoning district. The site has been vacant since 2008 and the applicant has been unable to market the site as an office, the most recent use of the site. The applicant has identified Alcoholic Beverage Sales as a viable use of the site and as a better fit for the property complementing the surrounding neighborhood. As noted elsewhere in the report, a change of use is one of the triggers which require that a site be improved to meet a variety of development parameters including setbacks and parking. Most permitted uses, including the proposed use, require parking and setbacks in excess of what exists. Therefore, a reasonable conclusion is that the reuse of the site is otherwise impractical without either deviating from at least some of the standards of the CDC or demolishing the building and removing all structures from the site. Assuming that it is reasonable to maintain the location of the existing building it also follows that it is not possible to provide the full complement of parking and all required setbacks. Therefore, deviating from some of the development parameters of the T District is required in order to establish the proposed use on the site. 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 redevelopment 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.

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 uses including overnight accommodations, restaurants, retail sales and services and attached dwellings ranging in height from one to 15 stories. The proposal should have no impact on the ability of adjacent properties to redevelop or otherwise be improved in accordance with the requirements and limitations of Beach by Design. 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. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section. S. 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: a. The proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard or flexible development use; As mentioned previously, the T District permits Alcoholic Beverage Sales as a Flexible Standard Development use. 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 tourist destination including overnight accommodations, retail sales and services, restaurants and attached dwellings. The proposed use will support and complement surrounding uses with regard to form and function. The proposal will have no effect on the ability of surrounding properties to be redeveloped or otherwise improved in a manner consistent with and limited by Beach by Design. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section. b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the city. As discussed in detail in this document, the proposal is fully compliant with all applicable portions of the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section.

The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character o, f an area. The proposal maintains an existing one-story building and provides for a use similar in scale and scope as other developments both built and approved in the azea and, as discussed in detail, is supported by the vision of the Beach Walk District of Beach by Design. The proposed will support surrounding uses such as retail, restaurants and outdoor recreation and entertainment. 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 stepbacks; and ■ Distinctive roofs forms. A significant component of the proposal includes significant upgrades to the exterior of the building which add a great deal of visual interest to the building. The building and site design have been explored in detail as part of the discussion addressed compliance with the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with this CDC Section. e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhar�ced landscape design and appropriate distances betrveen buildings. The surrounding area could best be described as urban in nature with minimal setbacks between uses. The proposal includes new landscaping along Coronado Drive and fencing which will effectively screen the parking lot to the rear of the existing building. 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.

EXHIBIT "C" - GENERAL APPLICABILITY CRITERIA: 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 building formerly operated as title insurance/real estate office. The proposed exterior improvements include an enhanced entry feature and upgrades to the landscaping and entry sidewalks. The building, as it exists, is in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, density and character with the adjacent developed properties. Adjacent to the property are other retail properties including a pizza shop and hair salon to the south, motel/rental units to the north and a parking lot to the east. 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. The Property is already developed with the existing building which will be upgraded to reflect the proposed use of Liquor Store. The existing development to the south contains an established Pizza Restaurant and a hair salon. The neighbor to the north is a small motel. The proposed project is intended to serve the surrounding developments and beach community. 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 change of use will be positive for the surrounding neighborhood as it will provide the tourists and locals in this area a convenient, walkable store to purchase alcoholic beverages. 4) The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion. The proposed Liquor store is intended to provide a convenient and "walkable" store to provide a needed service to the Tourists staying in the vicinity of this project. It is anticipated that this store will generate foot traffic rather than automobile traffic. It is anticipated that this store will serve tourists and locals in the immediate vicinity of the project. A parking garage is immediately across the street from this site. 5) The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. The Tourist district in this area is a mixture of high rise hotels, small motels and restaurants. This proposed development will provide a product to serve the tourists/patrons of the community that frequent the establishments in the immediate vicinity. 6) The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties. The proposed change of use will not cause any adverse effects. The liquor store would be contained inside the building and not cause any negative visual, acoustic or olfactory affects. The hours of operation would most likely be equivalent to the hours of the neighboring restaurant/retail stores. EXHIBIT "D" COMPREHENSIVE INFILL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT CRITERIA: 1. The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use and/or development standards set forth in this zoning district. The proposed deviations from minimum standard development standards, which are discussed in detail below, are necessary and minimal deviations to Code without which the project would not be feasible at this location. The Change of Use will not significantly modify the structure. Building Setbacks/Landscape Buffers The building and site currently exist and it is not practical to relocate parking areas, or move the existing building. Minimal landscaping currently exists and is proposed to be greatly enhanced. Parkin Parking currently exists on the site. There are 5 spaces currently on the site. It is necessary to construct a dumpster enclosure to meet code requirement. This will require the loss of 1 parking space. The code requires 5 spaces and 4 spaces are being provided. A public parking garage is immediately across the street from this project site. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this site will be utilized by pedestrians that will walk to the store. The store will not be a"destination" store that people will drive from out of the area to frequent. 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. Alcoholic Beverage Sales is allowed in the Tourist (T) Zoning District. The site is fully developed and had been operating as an Office. The Change of Use more appropriately provides a service that is related to the Tourist District. The Small Motel District of Beach By Design describes an area of small motel uses and difficult, if not impossible for significant land assembly. This development will serve the small motels and nearby resort hotels on the beach. The proposed development is consistent with many goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The policy, A.6.2 states that The City of Clearwater shall continue to support innovative planned development and mixed land use development techniques in order to promote infill development that is consistent and compatible with the surrounding environment. This proposed use is an economic contributor. The proposed project will generate new jobs in the City of Clearwater and will provide a desired service/product to the tourists and locals in the vicinity of this proj ect. 3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties. The proposed project is compatible with the neighborhood, as is more particularly discussed in General Applicability Criteria 1 and Comprehensive Infill Criteria 4 below, and will not impede other development.

Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed development. The existing development will provide services to the adjoining and neighboring properties. The proposed development will in no way affect the adjoining properties. 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 the following obj ectives: a. The proposed use is permitted in this zoning district as a minimum standard, flexible standard or flexible development use; b. The proposed use would be a significant economic contributor to the City's economic base by diversifying the local economy or by creating jobs; c. The development proposal accommodates the expansion or redevelopment of an existing economic contributor; d. The proposed use provides for the provision of affordable housing; e. The proposed use provides for development or redevelopment in an area that is characterized by other similar development and where a land use plan amendment and rezoning would result in a spot land use or zoning designation; or f. The proposed use provides for the development of a new, and/or preservation of a working waterfront use. Alcoholic Beverage Sales is permitted in the "Tourist" zoning district. This Change of Use will be a significant economic contributor to the City and upgrade a building which was developed several years ago.

The proposed liquor store will serve the surrounding uses. 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. Flexibility is not being requested for lot width. The proposed use is a use permitted in the Tourist zoning district without this approval. The building and parking lot currently exist and the site is constrained and will require flexibility to setbacks and off street parking. Surrounding properties to the south, east and north are already developed. b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the City. The proposed project is an existing building and this request is for a change of use to a permitted use in the Tourist category. The use is proposed to be changed to Alcoholic Beverage Sales, which is allowable in the Tourist (T) zoning district. The applicable design guidelines for Beach By Design are being met (see architectural plans). c. The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or emerging character of an area; This retail development supports the Small Motel District. It is anticipated that this store will serve the existing small motels, locals and resorts in the vicinity of this project. d.

' Plannin� Review Mark Parrv 727-562-4741 Condition Of Approval ➢ Planting Plan: The site plan and planting seem to differ a bit in that the planting plan includes some sort of extra building structure on the west side of the building that does not seem to show up on the site plans. I am assuming this is the tower-covered entry feature shown on Sheet A-1. I just need some clarification and coordination between the sheets. • This structure is shown on the Site Plan and is labeled as "Entry Feature Over New Brick Walkway And Existing Building" ➢ Application page 3 of 8: The required number of parking spaces should be six. • The actual number of required parking spaces is five. S spaces per 1,000 sf of GFA. (1,090sf/1,000) x S= 5.45 spaces = S spaces (per Sec 3-I404.D of LDC). The original GFA provided was incorrec� ➢ Application page 3 of 8: Clarify if the height of 13 feet is as measured from grade or, as consistent with Code. From where minimum floor elevations in flood prone areas have been established by law. • All heights depicted on the Architectural drawings and referenced by this application are measured from existing floor elevation. General: ➢ Clarify how mechanical equipment will be located and screened from view. • Mechanical equipment is existing and is not visible from adjacent properties as it is screened by the existing fence. � Clarify that any existing overhead utilities adjacent and extending onto the site will be removed andlor placed underground. • A note has been added to the plans indicated that this will be done. ➢ Exhibit B: The lot width is listed as 167 feet but I think it is probably more like 50 feet. Please clarify and correct as needed. • This exhibit has been updated to reflect the correct dimension of 60 feet. ➢ Exhibit B: The height of the building is listed as 23 feet but in the application the height is provided as 13 feet. I suspect that 13 feet is probably the more accurate as measured from BFE. Please clarify and correct as needed. • The height of the building is 13.14 ft. to the peak of the building. The height of the entry feature is 23.0 feet to the peak of that structure. ➢ Exhibit B: The west setback to building is listed as 10 feet when the site plan provides a dimension of 20 feet. Please clarify and correct as needed. • The setback to the building is 19.7 ft. The setback to the entry feature is 10.3 ft. ➢ Exhibit B: Interior green space is listed as 168 sq. ft. where the application provides for 268 sq. ft.

Using this GFA the required parking would be S spaces. ➢ Sheet A-1: Please provide rendered elevations. • Please see Architect plans ➢ Sheets A-1 and 1 of 1: Please provide sight visibility triangles. They seem to missing. • Site Triangles have been added to the plans. ➢ Sheet A-1: There seems to be a lot of paving in front of the building.

Sincerely, .r��// Brian Barker, PE Principal PARKING REDUCTION JUSTIFICATION 321 CORONADO DR CHANGE OF USE FROM OFFICE TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES INTRODUCTION The applicant is proposing a"change of use" of the property located at 321 Coronado Dr from General Office to Alcoholic Beverage Sales. The redevelopment of the property is the subject of a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment in Tourist "T" zoning district. This application requires an assessment of the parking characteristics of the redevelopment. The City of Clearwater has requested a detailed analysis estimating the number of parking spaces actually needed to service the various functions of the proposed medical office once the use is changed. Based on City of Clearwater Code requirements, on-site parking should include 5 spaces / 1,000 SF of gross floor area. Therefore, the requirement is 5 parking spaces for the 1,090 SF (GFA) store. Site modifications are limited to the construction of a dumpster enclosure and landscaping. A new fa�ade will be constructed for the building. A reduction to the number of required parking spaces is being requested. This analysis was prepared to demonstrate the actual parking demand for the proposed development and to justify the request for reduction. PARKING SUPPLY AND DEMAND The site currently contains 5 non-code compliant parking spaces and will be reduced to 4 code compliant spaces (including 1 Handicap accessible space). The loss of one space is due to the construction of the dumpster enclosure and the additional space needed to provide the ADA compliant space. The proposed parking that will be provided for the 1,090 SF store is equivalent to 4 parking spaces per 1,000 SF of gross floor area. This application requests the reduction of 1 required space for the store. It is estimated that patrons of th� store will be locals to the area and tourists within walking distance staying at the hotels in the area. It is not anticipated that this will be a"destination" store that people will travel great distances to purchase the available products. If patrons do travel by car to this proposed development and parking spaces are not available, the public parking garage is directly across Coronado Dr. �� KUMC�Li�T 5W (ifi4A �, . � ,. ,.��; �.�, � � __ �.�_...._ .��°`"'�.�_.� �� . ��'�^ �'ROP05EL� �LOOR PLAN �, � �:�:� ,,., . �.,�� ' , - �� _' _ -- r+�.�.r wxr« ♦MROMML►.M+'-`� I - tMYb �1Y.�hl :'.�":� �. � '�...; ._ ....... . v�AV¢ {T \OM� KN� +� S^r",f'i}4'MN{ , �� ! ��1� �` � pw,.'a�r°:r,�. ,� x !, r OPTION 3 � � � , ,mM z g�.ar.+.s. �a „ .�... �w e.. w� �RaxT �varaox . �,ue ua . i.p� (:�[,k�;Ft1i. �UHY 5HAnE kX`TRA WHIT� 5W 6709 SW 6572 SW 7006 za � _•.�.�.,�.�.�.
