ANALYSIS:
Location and Existing Conditions:
The 0.15-acre subject property is located on the
east side of Coronado Drive approximately 242
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 subject property consists of a three-unit
attached dwelling building constructed circa
1951 (per Pinellas County Property Appraiser),
and seven parking spaces that are either on the
property or partially in the Coronado Drive
right-of-way. The buildings/units are currently
unoccupied.
The immediate area is characterized by a
vaxiety of uses including alcoholic beverage
sales, overnight accommodations, retail sales
and services, restaurant, and attached
dwellings. The surrounding area can best be
described as an area in flux with a wide range
of building forms, styles and sizes.

There is no active Code Compliance case for
the subject property.
Development Proposal:
The development proposal is to convert the
existing building to a restaurant use with an
addition on the east side of the site to be used
for storage and restrooms. The seating for the
restaurant will be largely open air beneath a
roof. The building design will be of a
Mediterranean architectural style.
The redevelopment of the property will not
result in the provision of any off-street parking
spaces. As such, the request is being
processed as a Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project.

P �P DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
Special Area Plan:
Beach bv Design: 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.
The Small Motel District requires that, due to the compact nature of this district, its location in
the heart of the tourist area and the potential for intensive redevelopment, there shall be a
minimum side setback of 10 feet for all development to ensure that adequate open space is
provided between properties. The development proposal includes setbacks of five feet (to
existing building) and 10 feet (to patio and new building addition) on the north side, and a
setback of 10 feet (to patio and columns) on the south side. The five foot side (north) setback is
being permitted to allow the reuse of the existing building. Any new structure or building meets
the required 10 foot side setback.
Beach bv DesiQn: Section VII. 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. Only those sections applicable to the development
proposal are discussed below:
Section C addresses issues relating to design, scale and building mass and is delineated into six
subsections; however only those subsections applicable to the development proposal are
discussed below:
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 proposed building fa�ade
continues for more than 100 feet. Therefore, this section 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 fa�ade
visible from offsite is the west fa�ade. The building will undergo a facelift and the west

p pp DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DMSION
fa�ade will be improved to consist of windows and the entry into the building as well a roof
overhang over the primary entrance. The architectural detailing constitutes between 10
percent (east fa�ade) and 50 percent (south and west facades). The north fa�ade includes
architectural detailing of approximately five percent. It should be reiterated that the Design
Guidelines are intended to be administered in a flexible manner to achieve the highest quality
built environment for Clearwater Beach. The proposal provides the highest level of
architectural detail along the most visible facades of the building; the west (front facing the
Coronado Drive) and the south fa�ade. Staff believes that the level of detailing proposed for
the west and east fa�ades is attractive, appropriate to the architectural style and meets the
intent of this guideline. In addition, it should be noted that extensive covered patio space on
the west and south sides will visually define the site. In other words, the building itself
constitutes a minor feature of the site with the covered outdoor dining areas acting as the
primary visual and aesthetic feature. Staff believes that the location of the outdoor dining
area will contribute to an active street life. Therefore, this provision is supported by 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 22 feet. Given the design
and height of the building there should be no negative effect on adjacent public spaces.
Therefore, this section is supported by the proposal.
Section D addresses issues relating to rights-of-way, setbacks and stepbacks and is delineated
into three subsections; however only those subsections applicable to the development proposal
are discussed below:
Section D.1 requires the distance between the edge of an arterial right-of-way and a building
to be 15 feet, and the provision of a ten-foot pedestrian path. The development proposal
provides a distance of 22 feet from the right-of-way to the building and a seven-foot wide
pedestrian path. It is noted that City Council has subsequently determined that the width of
seven feet is sufficient and 10 feet is not required. The plan includes the removal of
pavement to create a three foot wide landscape buffer between the sidewalk and outdoor
seating area. The existing pavement will be resurfaced and used for seating which supports
the pedestrian-friendly environment envisioned in Beach by Design. Therefore, this section
is supported by the proposal.
Section D.2 requires that side and rear setbacks shall be governed by the provisions of the
Tourist District of the Community Development Code unless otherwise prescribed in the
applicable Character District provisions.
Section E discusses the human scale and aesthetic appeal of street-level facades and their
relationship to the sidewalk, and is delineated into four subsections; however only those
subsections applicable to the development proposal are discussed below:

P PP DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
Section E.1 requires that at least 60% of the street level facades of buildings used for
nonresidential purposes to be transparent. The application indicates compliance with this
requirement using a covered roof over an outdoor seating area with tables and umbrellas.
The visual interest at the street level will be the open air outdoor dining area setback three
feet from the sidewalk.
Section E.3 requires building entrances to be aesthetically inviting and easily identified. The
front west fa�ade will be modified to have an easily identified doorway into the building.
The doorway into the building is setback 22 feet from the public right-of-way however the
walkway into the outdoor seating area will be easily identified by pedestrians walking by or
choosing to dine at the restaurant. Therefore, this section is supported by the proposal.
Section L addresses issues pertaining to materials and colors. Finish materials and building
colors are required to reflect Florida or coastal vernacular themes. The proposed building has
been designed in an open air (non-air conditioned) Mediterranean architectural style. The
applicant states the primary color of the building will be beige; however with the outdoor seating
concept the primary feature is the covered roof which will be supported by brown colored
columns. The proposed color scheme and material generally support 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.
Objective A.S.S - Promote high qualiry design standards that support Clearwater's image and
contribute to its identity.
Policy A. 5.5.1 - 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.
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.

� ��r����v�� .. . .
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. The development 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 restaurant will bring an active use to the site which will support
the tourists and residents of the beach alike, and should be seen as one more step in the
revitalization of the Beach. The development proposal has been found to support 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 surrounding 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 ciry 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. 5. — 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 convert the vacant attached dwelling use into a restaurant that will be
compatible with surrounding uses and appropriate considering the location within the T District.
The establishment of a new outdoor seating style restaurant should not have any negative impact
on adjacent properties. The redesigned building and its addition will be consistent with regard to
the desired form and function of the Small Motel District of Beach by Design and meet its
incorporated Design Guidelines.
Development Parameters:
Intensitv of Use:
Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the m�imum Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) for properties with a designation of RFH is 1.0. The proposed restaurant will consist of
1,521 square feet of gross floor area for an FAR of 0.22 consistent with the above.
Impervious Surface Ratio I�R�
Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan and CDC Section 2-801.1, the m�imum allowable ISR is
0.95. The proposed ISR is 0.81 consistent with the above.

Minimum Lot Area and Lot Width:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, there is no minimum required lot area or lot width for a
Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. However, for a point of comparison, pursuant to
CDC Table 2-802, the minimum required lot area for restaurant can range between 5,000 square
feet and 10,000 square feet, while the minimum lot width can range between 50 feet and 100
feet. The subject property is 6,657 square feet in area and 60 feet in width, which is within the
allowable flexibility for a restaurant in the T District.
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 rear setback can range between 10 and 20 feet. The proposal includes a rear
(east) setback of five feet (to building). The redevelopment of the property would be otherwise
impractical without a deviation to the rear setback due to the size of the property, location of
buildings and the 10 foot side setbacks required to be met in the Small Motel District.
It is noted the Section D of the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design regulates the front setback
and the Small Motel District of Beach by Design regulates the side setback. Both of these are
discussed previously in this report.
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
maximum allowable height for a restaurant is between 35 - 50 feet. The existing and proposed
building height of 6.4 feet as measured from Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is well below the
flexible maximum range discussed above.
Minimum Off-street Parkin�:
Pursuant to CDC Table 2-803, the minimum off-street parking requirement for Comprehensive
Infill Redevelopment Projects shall be determined by the community development coordinator
based on the specific use and/or ITE Manual standards. Pursuant to Tables 2-802 and 2-803, off-
street parking for a restaurant can range between 7 and 12 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross
floor area. Accordingly, the proposed 1,521 square feet of restaurant would be required between
11 and 18 off-street parking spaces; however none are proposed.
The applicant has submitted a parking demand study which concludes that the site will attract
mostly foot traffic. However, the study also notes that any parking that may be needed may be
within the Surf Style and Hyatt Aqualea public parking garages located directly across the
Coronado Drive from the subject property. Staff agrees with these findings.
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. The site plan does not depict any
outdoor mechanical equipment. However, if such equipment is requirecUprovided the applicant
must demonstrate that it shall be appropriately screened in compliance with this requirement.

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 utilities that will serve the site will be placed
underground.
Landsca,pin�
Pursuant to CDC Sections 3-1202.D and E, no perimeter or interior landscaping is required for
this development proposal. However, while landscaping will be provided along the north, south
and west boundaries of the site, the development proposal does not include the required five-foot
wide foundation planting area for 100 percent the building fa�ade facing the street right-of-way.
The applicant has opted to utilize the Comprehensive Landscape Program pursuant to CDC
Section 3-1202.G. The criteria for a Comprehensive Landscape Program are provided below:
1. Architectural theme.
a. The landscaping in a comprehensive landscape program shall be designed as a part of
the architectural theme of the principal buildings proposed or developed on the parcel
proposed for development; or
b. The design, character, location and/or materials of the landscape treatment proposed in
the comprehensive landscape program shall be demonstrably more attractive than
landscaping otherwise permitted on the parcel proposed for development under the
minimum landscape standards.
2. Lighting. Any lighting proposed as a part of a comprehensive landscape program is
automatically controlled so that the lighting is turned off when the business is closed.
3. Community character. The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive landscape
program will enhance the community character of the City of Cleanvater.
4. Property values. The landscape treatment proposed in the comprehensive landscape
program will have a beneficial impact on the value of property in the immediate vicinity of
the parcel proposed for development.
The landscape plan does show a three-foot wide landscape buffer in lieu of the required foundation
planting area as well as palm trees (coconut pa1m, Florida royal palm and pigmy date palms) in the
north, south and west open areas along with a complement of groundcovers. No lighting will be
provided. The landscaping will enhance the pedestrian experience along Coronado Drive. The
proposed landscape plan has been found to be consistent with the requirements of the
Comprehensive Landscape Program.
Solid Waste:
The development proposal includes a solid waste enclosure between the existing building and the
new addition. A four-yard dumpster will be stored within this enclosure and rolled out to the
street on collection days. The proposal has been found to be acceptable by the City's Solid
Waste Department. However, the applicant will need to comply with regulations for the location

of the dumpster enforced by the Fire Department and the Building Division of the Planning and
Development Department for required fire suppression system at time of building permit.
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 proposed development will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
Section 3-914.A.4. The proposed development is designed to minimize traffic congestion.
Section 3-914.A.5. The proposed development is consistent with the community character of the
immediate vicinity.
Section 3-914.A.6. The design of the proposed development minimizes adverse effects, including
visual, acoustic and olfactory and hours of operation impacts on adjacent properties.
The area in which the subject property is located has a wide range of building forms, styles and
sizes, as well as uses such as alcoholic beverage sales, overnight accommodations, retail sales
and services, restaurants and attached dwellings. The proposal is consistent with the character of
these surrounding properties and with the intent and vision of Beach by Design, the Small Motel
District and the Design Guidelines. The proposed restaurant will be appropriate 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 proposed restaurant is expected to be
supported primarily by residents and tourists already at the beach, it is not anticipated to be a
destination in and of itself and should result in little to no net increase in the amount of vehicular
traffic in the area. Based upon all of the above, the proposal has been found to support the
General Applicability Standards.
Compliance with Flexibility Criteria:
The proposal supports the specific Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project flexibility
criteria pursuant to CDC Section 2-803.D as follows:
1. The development or redevelopment is otherwise impractical without deviations from the use
and/or development standards set forth in this zoning district.
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.
3. The development or redevelopment will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding properties.
4. Adjoining properties will not suffer substantial detriment as a result of the proposed
development.

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;
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 distYict.
b. The proposed development complies with applicable design guidelines adopted by the
��
�
city
The design, scale and intensity of the proposed development supports the established or
emerging character of an area.
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 a�chitectural 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.
e. The proposed development provides for appropriate buffers, enhanced landscape design
and appropriate distances between buildings.
As discussed in detail throughout this report, the proposal is fully compliant with all applicable
portions of Beach by Design, the Comprehensive Plan, and the general purpose, intent and basic
planning objectives of the Community Development Code. Additionally, as also discussed in
this report, the proposal will not impede the development of surrounding properties, nor cause
them to suffer substantial detriment.
Most permitted uses within the T District, including the proposed restaurant use, would require
off-street parking and setbacks in excess of what exists on the subject property as part of a
change of use. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the reuse of the property would be
impractical without either flexibility being granted from applicable development standards.
A significant component of the proposal is the upgrades to the exterior of the building, a
distinctive covered roof with support columns over the outdoor seating area, and site
improvements. These will add a great deal of visual interest to the building and property. Based
upon all of the above, the proposal has been found to support the Comprehensive Infill
Redevelopment Project flexibility criteria.
