4. New Business Items
4.1 Approve staff- recommended Option 3 for ULI Bluff/Coachman/Waterfront Master
Plan Development.
Staff has outlined three possible processes for the development of the
Bluff/Coachman/Waterfront Master Plan development, as recommended
in the Urban Land Institute Advisory Panel Report (ULI 1).
Page 2 City of Clearwater Draft
Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes August 17, 2015
The first option is to conduct a traditional Master Plan process in which
an Request for Proposal (RFP) is released to select a Master Plan
Consultant, usually a planning and design firm, who assembles a team
with expertise in public engagement, waterfront park planning, and a
market studies. This traditional approach does not include a developer
component and lacks the economic feasibility and reality check
recommended by the ULI Report.
The second option is a developer-driven process in which a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) is released to select a Developer Partner who
would assemble the expertise needed to develop the Master Plan and
bring the vision to reality. While this option is the ULI recommended
process, it may be challenging gaining developer interest and receiving
quality responses given the uncertainty of the city’s charter restrictions
and the current strength of the economy.
Given the challenges described in the two processes above, staff
recommends a third option which is to conduct a hybrid process. Option
three allows the City to commence the Bluff Master Plan process with a
qualified consultant while concurrently identifying the appropriate
developer participation. This meets two council objectives: 1) early
commencement of the master plan process and 2) development options
that are market-driven and economically feasible.
Should the Community Redevelopment Agency approve the staff
recommendation, the Planning and Development Department will
prepare an RFP for a master plan consultant to be released in
September. The Economic Development and Housing Department will
prepare an RFQ for a Developer consultant to work with the Master Plan
consultant and provide the economic and financial feasibility component
of the options. In the event the City receives insufficient responses to
the developer consultant RFQ, there may be other options during the
master plan process to gain the developer perspective, including
organizing a developer panel.
Staff recommends approval of Option 3.
Economic Development and Housing Director Geri Campos Lopez
provided a PowerPoint presentation. Option 1, Master Plan Consultant,
is a more traditional approach and does not include a developer
component or economic/financial feasibility of plan components. Option
2, Developer Partner, is the process recommended by ULI. This process
may have a longer upfront timeframe and is an uncertain scenario given the
challenges with charter restrictions and strong economy. Option 3 is a
hybrid of options 1 and 2 and allows staff to move concurrently
with the master plan process and economic feasibility of plan Page 3 City of Clearwater Draft
Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes August 17, 2015
components. Ms. Campos Lopez said that the City of Ft. Myers has a
similar downtown to Clearwater and proceeded with a RFQ for a master
developer to update their plan. Ft. Myers hired a consultant to do the
financial analysis in the first phase; the consultant would act as master
developer in the second phase if the financial analysis was successful. If
Option 3 is approved, Planning and Development will issue the RFP in
October. CRA Executive Director Rod Irwin said it would take four to
five months to gather data before the public engagement component
begins.
In response to questions, Mr. Irwin said the community engagement
component is expected to begin in March 2016; staff will gather data
after the RFP is issued in October. It is critical to have the planning and
consulting teams be on board when developing the stakeholder
involvement process. The community engagement process is expected to
last one year. Ms. Campos Lopez said staff envisions a robust community
engagement process; the visioning will be around the Bluff, Coachman
Park, and the waterfront. The community engagement activities would be
defined in the planning consultant’s Scope of Work. Ms. Campos Lopez said
if Option 3 is selected, the developer selected will need to work with the
current master planner team. Mr. Irwin said if disagreements between the
developer and the planning team occur staff anticipates them coming before
the Trustees for direction. The planning consultant will steer the project; the
developer will be a reality check on the market conditions to weigh in on the
process from the investment side. Ms. Campos Lopez said the Harborview
footprint and the City Hall site are the only sites being considered for
commercial redevelopment. The options on the waterfront would be limited.
Mr. Irwin said a park will not provide the return on investment to a developer
as commercial development. There are some revenues and staff planned up
to $1 million in the 5-year forecast for the CRA to cover some of the ULI
implementation activities.
Trustee Jonson moved to approve staff-recommended Option 3 for
ULI Bluff/Coachman/Waterfront Master Plan Development. The
motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an Interlocal Agreement between the Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) and the City of Clearwater to provide CRA funding in Fiscal Year 2015-2016 in the
amount of $166,596.78 to underwrite the cost of additional Community Policing services by
the Clearwater Police Department in the East Gateway CRA District, pursuant to the East
Gateway Five-Year Action Program for fiscal years 2012-2017 and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
On October 15, 2012, the CRA approved the East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program
for FY 2012-2017. The Action Program responded to public input on the issues of drug
dealing, prostitution and street crime by including an action item for the continuation of
increased police presence and crime reduction within the East Gateway District.
An allowable funding source of this action item is the use of CRA Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) funds. Florida Statues allows for the use of TIF funds for community policing innovations
in Community Redevelopment Areas.
The CRA and Clearwater Police Department have reached an agreement on a proposed
scope of services and terms as delineated in the Interlocal Agreement. Included in the scope
is the delineation of specific, measurable crime reduction targets by which to monitor the
success of the initiative as well as providing clear language required by statute assuring that
the resources are applied to the CRA/East Gateway area.
Funding will be from the CRA East Gateway Project account (388-94849).
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
388-94849 $166,596.78

File Number: ID#15-1631
Agenda Date: 8/31/2015 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1
File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Community Redevelopment Agency
Agenda Number: 4.3
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Preliminary
Budget and adopt CRA 15-03.
SUMMARY:
The major highlights of the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 proposed preliminary budget are as follows:
Tax increment revenues increased by $166,771 over the proposed 2014-2015 budget,
reflecting an increase in taxable value of 8.1% in the old Downtown CRA (Downtown) and a
6.3% increase in the expanded CRA area (East Gateway). These compare with Citywide
6.9% increase in value.
The new CRA value increase is positive, as it indicates value increases in the East Gateway
are more closely approximating the citywide number, as compared to previous years. The
Downtown/Old CRA value increases continue to exceed citywide increases, indicating positive
market response to redevelopment and public investment activities.
Operating expenditures increased by $ 13,509 or 5.1% largely due to the increase in pass
through revenues to the Downtown Development Board (DDB), as well as minor increases in
operating expenses across several line items.
New to the budget this year is funding of an Economic Development (ED) Coordinator position
needed to support Urban Land Institute (ULI), East Gateway and Downtown program
activities. This is an expansion of capacity on the CRA side similar to the addition of an ED
Coordinator on the ED side to implement the ED Strategic Plan several years ago. In this
case, the added work generated by the ULI Advisory Panel project implementation activities
indicates the need for a similar staff addition.
Also in support of the ULI Program and Clearwater Business Spark, an entrepreneurial
ecosystem initiative, funds in the amount of $99,600 are being allocated to a new project
account to underwrite the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) and
Youth STEM centers at the Main Library.
The budget appropriation of $50,000 to the existing Economic Development Incentives project
account will allow a continuation of the well-established parking subsidy initiative for office
lease deals. As staff continues to support lease-up of the office space in the Tech District,
this initiative has been very helpful.
The Blast Friday agreement with Clearwater Downtown Events/Ruth Eckerd Hall has expired
and a new proposal, including an increase in CRA financial participation, has recently been
submitted to staff. However, the proposal has not been sufficiently vetted to warrant inclusion
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 8/28/2015
File Number: ID#15-1631
of an appropriation request in the proposed budget. As was the case in Fiscal Year 2014-15, if
agreement is reached on a program to meet the expanded scope and re-direction requested
by the CRA Board, a funding agreement can be brought forward at a subsequent meeting.
Should a proposal be subsequently approved by the Board, funding could be appropriated
from the Downtown Redevelopment Fund.
Please note that the annual $6,000 contribution for the Farmer’s Market has been deleted
from the budget. The DDB has not funded the event in their budget, and CRA staff has
determined that the business model likely will no longer be sustainable. Alternately, the DDB
has approved funding for a Saturday Market which seems promising. The CRA will support
the effort through payment of meter fees to the Parking Fund.
Transfers Out to various projects are as designated in the CRA Six Year Plan.
The Proposed Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Agency budget is consistent with the Six Year Plan.

Prelim Budget
October 1, 2015- September 30, 2016
Economic Development and Housing –CRA
One full-time Economic Development Coordinator (1.0 FTE)
Budget increase -$65,000 (salary & benefits) to be funded 100% by the CRA
Justification:An ED Coordinator position is needed to provide additional staff capacity to support ULI, East
Gateway and downtown programs, activities and initiatives. This position would be similar to the ED Coordinator
position that supports the implementation of the ED Strategic Plan. Specifically, the three focus areas are:
ULI--The added work generated by the ULI Advisory Panel project implementation activities indicates the
need for coordination and tracking of each of the projects with all the impacted departments; preparation of
reports; and financial tracking of project expenditures.
East Gateway—In order to meet the implementation expectations of the ULI/East Gateway projects (i.e.
Mercado and Festival Core) outlined in the ULI Report East Gateway Vision Plan and the East Gateway Five-
Year Action Program, additional staff capacity is needed for project management, research, report writing,
meeting coordination, and preparation of materials.
Downtown/CRA—Given competing work program priorities, severalCRA projects have been placed on hold
or given a longer timeframe for completion, i.e. the TIF extension request to the County. This position would
allow these projects to commence and to assist with other priority projects such as the Bluff/Coachman
Park/Waterfront Master Plan process.
Supervision of this position will be divided between the CRA Executive Director and the Director of Economic
Development and Housing depending on the work product involved.
Impact if not filled: The Council has placed a high priority on the implementation of the ULI projects to help
revitalize the CRA’s downtown core and the East Gateway. Without this position, coordination and tracking of ULI
projects will only be able to be done piecemeal as staff time is available given competing work program priorities. In
addition, several key CRA projects such as the county TIF extension request and the implementation of the East
Gateway Vision Plan/Five-Year Action Program (primarily infrastructure projects such as the open space and
preparation for the Cleveland Streetscape Phase 3 and other community needs) will need to continue to be placed
on hold until other projects are completed and staff time becomes available. Given thevolume of work, the
department may not be able to meet Council expectations on timeframes for completion of projects. Since funding
is coming from the CRA, this position will not impact the General Fund.

To: CRA Board of Directors
FROM: Rod Irwin, Executive Director
SUBJECT: FY 2015-2019 Four Year Financial Plan
DATE: September 3, 2015
Attached please find the updated Financial Plan for the CRA. Per previous Board direction, this plan is
updated annually and presented to the Board in conjunction with adoption of the annual CRA Operating
budget so the Board can provide guidance to staff as deemed appropriate, and provide a financial/policy
“context” for budget consideration.
The Financial Plan is not adopted by the CRA Board, per prior Board direction, but rather reflects the
staff projection of expenditures over a six year period as a context for Board consideration of the
annual budget. It is a planning document for Board and Staff reference.Current year expenditures in
the Plan are approved by the Board either through the annual budget and/or specific Board
authorization.
This year the Plan reflects several changes from the previous Plan that I wish to highlight:
1) This year the Financial Plan reflects projected expenditures/revenues for four (4) years, rather
than the usual six (6) years, as the County TIF commitment expires in 2019. Pending an
indication of County position on renewal, and within what parameters, it was not practical to
attempt to forecast years five (5) and six (6) of the forecast period with any modicum of
reliability. Staff will be completing the TIF Extension Request during the next year for CRA Board
consideration and, ultimately, submission to the County. Based upon the outcome of that
process, staff will then incorporate updated projections for the “out years” of the Financial Plan.
2) A new project, ULI Implementation, is reflected in the Plan this year. It is the intent of staff to
recommend during F Y14-15 3
rd Quarter Budget Amendments to include the establishment of
the project and that $1,000,000 be appropriated into the project to support continued
implementation of the ULI Report recommendations.
3)A new project account entitled “Downtown Parking Garage” is reflected in the Plan this year,
with funds projected to be allocated beginning in 2016-2017 as a “placeholder” for CRA
participation in a Downtown parking garage(s). This will provide a vehicle to accumulate funds
necessary in advance of clarification of a specific project/site. Formal CRA Board action to
establish the project account will be scheduled at a later date.
4) The Cleveland Street Maintenance Project Fund has been increased from $20,000 to $25,000
per annum for the next four years to facilitate enhanced cleaning and restoration of the
Cleveland Street streetscape. With increased use of the sidewalks/streets, more frequent
maintenance is indicated.
Please Note: Several established projects have been completed, or expired, but have residual funds
accumulated in the accounts. It is staff’s intent to conduct an evaluation and “sweep” of all project
accounts in this status during 1st qtr of 2015-2016 and bring forward an agenda item vacating these
accounts as appropriate. This will bolster the Redevelopment Fund and further clarify availability of
funding capacity for CRA participation in upcoming infrastructure initiatives.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
