Accept the North Marina Area Master Plan.
SUMMARY:
The North Marina Area Master Plan project was commissioned by the City of Clearwater in
response to objectives identified by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Panel,
who provided strategic advice regarding a comprehensive and long -term perspective for the
continued growth and development of Downtown Clearwater. The Master Plan is a
comprehensive plan that balances the needs of the boating community, area residents and
the development community.
With assistance from a consultant team led by Stantec, the Planning and Development
Department worked with community stakeholders to identify community needs, leverage the
area’s unique locational advantages, capitalize on market opportunities, and determine how to
balance the needs of the boating community with area residents. Public outreach activities
included:
·Stakeholder One-on-One Interviews: In July 2015, Stantec conducted one -on-one
interviews with stakeholders affiliated with key properties in the study area in order to
hear insights on the assets, issues and opportunities in the area.
·Stakeholder Committee: In August, September and December 2015 staff and Stantec
met with community stakeholders to brainstorm about several topics regarding the
area, as well as to solicit feedback on community meeting results.
·Community Meetings: In August, September, October and December 2015, staff
conducted four community meetings meant to engage the community and solicit
feedback on the vision of the area. The four meetings consisted of: introduction to the
project, a design charrette where staff worked with the community to create plan
concepts for the area, an open house to present three design scenarios for the area in
order to receive feedback and a final meeting where the preferred concept was
presented.
·Online Engagement: From August to November 2015, the City’s online engagement
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ID#16-2092
platform, myclearwaterinput .com, was used to post surveys and generate feedback for
the Plan, providing an additional outlet for public engagement.
A market analysis and marina assessment were completed to provide context for the Master
Plan. The market analysis, performed by Lakemont Group, a boutique real estate and
economic consulting firm, examined the real estate and economic development potential of
the area, and included an analysis on potential residential development. The marina
assessment was performed by Moffatt and Nichol, a global infrastructure advisor specializing
in the planning and design of facilities shaping coastlines and harbors. The marina
assessment provided an understanding of the market potential specifically related to marina
facilities in the area as well as an overview assessment of the operations of the Seminole Boat
Ramp in order to turn the area into a boating destination.
The North Marina Area Master Plan establishes a vision for the area, which is to activate the
area by attracting residents, businesses, visitors and the boating community while maintaining
the historic character. Within the Master Plan, a concept plan depicts where new development
and public investments should be located to achieve the vision. Major components of the
concept plan include:
·A hotel on the Clearwater Basin Marina site to draw visitors to the area and provide a
destination for boaters;
·A makers courtyard between Cedar Avenue and Nicholson Street combining affordable
housing with creative workspaces and community -use facilities to create catalysts for
economic development;
·An improved Seminole Boat Ramp with a walkway and shaded picnic areas, new
staging docks and reconfigured parking to improve access for boaters and
non-boaters;
·A pedestrian-friendly Fort Harrison Avenue, which will be accomplished by reducing
travel lane widths and adding on -street parking, as well as adding streetscape
improvements and promoting mixed use, mid-rise scale development.
In addition to strategies directly linked to the concept plan components highlighted above, the
Master Plan recommends strategies to serve as the starting point for future implementation
steps in the area. The recommended strategies are organized into four topic areas :
administrative, public realm, transportation and sustainability, as generally described below .
The strategies identified in the Plan fall primarily under the purview of the Planning and
Development Department but also state the need for coordination with various City
departments, private property owners and various governmental entities.
1. Administrative (Plan pages 92-94): These strategies identify non -capital projects for the
area such as amending the Downtown Plan, implementing a program of events such as
festivals and farmers markets and providing assistance to support local artisans, which
benefits the community and local economy. Strategies include:
·Amend the Downtown Plan to accommodate recommendations;
·Encourage hotel development on the waterfront;
·Provide assistance in renovating historic houses; and
·Market the Plan.
2. Public Realm and Transportation (Plan pages 94-96): These strategies are designed to
improve access in and around the area by enhancing multiple modes of transportation such as
biking, bus transit and walking. They also focus on creating a sense of place through the
installation of public art, gateway enhancements and activation of the waterfront. Strategies
Page 2 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ID#16-2092
include:
·Enhance the Seminole Boat Ramp Function;
·Activate the waterfront;
·Install public art;
·Improve the Pinellas Trail;
·Redesign Fort Harrison Avenue;
·Redesign apex of Fort Harrison Avenue at Fairmont Street and Myrtle Avenue;
·Improve bus transit service; and
·Review minimum parking standards.
3. Sustainability (Plan pages 96-97): These strategies recommend the use of sustainable
methods during redevelopment of the area in order to conserve water and energy, utilize Low
Impact Development (LID) techniques on projects such as stormwater management and
promote environmental awareness of the Clearwater Harbor through educational displays .
Strategies include:
·Require Low Impact Development (LID) for sites and buildings;
·Expand Green Streets Program & Initiatives;
·Improve energy and water efficiency; and
·Encourage healthy water bodies.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council accept the North
Marina Area Master Plan.

Executive SummaryThe North Marina Area Master Plan is the result of extensive research, analysis, and community engagement. A strong consensus-building effort drove the planning process that identifi ed issues, opportunities and values to create a vision and concept plan supported by the community. It balances the needs of the boating community, residents and developers. Everyone will have a role to play in the Master Plan’s successful implementation, leading to new public investment and private development.11North Marina Area Master Plan - Executive Summary
Why this plan?The North Marina Area Master Plan was commissioned by the City of Clearwater in response to objectives identified by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Panel. The ULI panel was asked to provide strategic advice regarding a comprehensive and long-term perspective for the continued growth and development of Downtown Clearwater. The panel found that the largest concentration of opportunities with the greatest catalytic potential were located in the area designated as the Downtown Core, with certain solutions extending to the Old Bay District. The entire waterfront should be tied together throughout Downtown and connected to the beach.With the overall objective being to enhance public access to the waterfront, the ULI panel recommended that a plan be created for the North Marina area. The goals for this Plan are to: 1) balance the needs of the boating community, area residents, and the development community; and 2) provide the greatest value to the residents and the City, specifically to enhance the publicly-accessible open space elements at the Seminole Boat Ramp. ULI also recommended that the planning process include developers of the proposed high and dry facility or other developers interested in the area, and adhere to the Old Bay Character District design guidelines of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan created in conjunction with neighborhood residents and stakeholders. The ULI panel also recommended that a comprehensive boating plan be completed before major decisions are made regarding boat-related infrastructure along Clearwater’s waterfront, in order to identify opportunities and challenges in providing a full-service environment for boaters. Therefore, the North Marina Area Master Plan was completed in conjunction with the City’s Comprehensive Boating Plan, and includes boating plan recommendations relevant to this area.Assets & LiabilitiesThe 55-acre study area includes portions of the Old Clearwater Bay Neighborhood, the Pinellas County Schools’ former North Ward School, the Francis Wilson Playhouse, the Seminole Boat Ramp, the Clearwater Basin Marina and other privately-owned properties. It encompasses a portion of the Old Bay Character District of the City’s Downtown Redevelopment Plan.The North Marina Area includes underutilized and vacant properties that are in need of redevelopment. Within one-mile of the area’s center, 46 percent of housing units are renter-occupied. Area demographics identify a lower than national average income, where there are also higher unemployment and poverty rates. Existing Conditions A2North Marina Area Master Plan - Executive Summary
However, the area’s proximity to Downtown, waterfront access, connection to major vehicular transportation corridors, Pinellas Trail, and other physical assets provides for an incredible opportunity for improved public open space and private redevelopment.The Downtown Redevelopment Plan guides development and redevelopment through a series of goals, objectives and policies and by the establishment of development potential for six unique character districts. The Old Bay Character District is one district within the Downtown Redevelopment Plan and represents a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the low density residential areas to the north. Making the district more successful will require both public and private investment in the North Marina Area’s assets and commitment to remedy under-performing uses. Enhancement and investment in publicly-owned properties and public realm areas are needed to create an identity, remedy negative conditions and set the stage for private redevelopment to occur. The City’s Seminole Boat Ramp and parking facility is a unique city-wide asset and one of the most used locations within the area, but it needs enhancement to improve vehicular circulation, provide staging for boat launching, and to establish a more direct and safe pedestrian connection to the waterfront and site amenities. The North Ward School is another publicly-owned property that affects the overall visual quality of the area. While the building’s architectural quality is high, this unused property surrounded by a chain-link fence represents a negative condition to everyone passing through the area. The Pinellas Trail runs through the area and connects to Dunedin and Downtown Clearwater. The trail has been a major economic redevelopment asset in many portions of the County, but the segment in this area is seen as uninviting due to safety concerns and unsightliness. While special street lights were installed on Fort Harrison Avenue in this area, this area’s main street needs attention. Investing in public realm improvements and making better connections to the waterfront for residents and visitors will help to reestablish the North Marina Area as a true destination in the City.The OpportunityThe Master Plan builds upon the existing assets and establishes a vision that was defined through extensive public engagement to remedy existing deficiencies. The area is envisioned to be a mixed-use neighborhood supporting the Downtown employment base with residential, neighborhood commercial, office and community uses. Redevelopment in the area should include a connection to the Pinellas Trail, multi-modal connections, and improvements to the Seminole Boat Ramp to enhance both waterfront access and appearance.The community vision and concept plan for the North Marina Area were created with residents, property owners and interested citizens. Everyone will have a role to play in the Plan’s implementation that leads to new public and private development. The phasing of strategies creates an action plan for implementation.3North Marina Area Master Plan - Executive Summary

MAP 1. CONTEXT AREAStudy Area BoundaryThe North Marina Area study area is approximately 55 acres within 13 city blocks. It is bound by the parcels fronting Cedar Street to the north, the Pinellas Trail and Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail to the east, the parcels fronting Eldridge Street to the south, and Clearwater Harbor to the west. An additional nine acres are submerged land and open water. The boundary is based on parcel lines from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser.The North Greenwood Neighborhood is located to the east of the study area, and the Old Clearwater Bay Neighborhood is to the north and south. A portion of the area falls within the Old Bay Character District of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The study area is a half-mile from the Downtown Core Character District.Area ContextA1/2 milePinellas TrailSeminole Boat RampNorth Ward SchoolLEGENDNorth Greenwood NeighborhoodOld Clearwater Bay NeighborhoodOld Bay Character DistrictDowntown Core Character DistrictNorth Marina AreaNCEDAR STOSCEOLA AVEOLD CLEARWATER HARBOR12North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Existing UsesA large percentage (24%) of the North Marina Area is undeveloped land, totaling 13.3 acres and 52 parcels. Vacant, deteriorated and for-sale properties dominate the landscape. City-owned land at the Seminole Boat Ramp totals 6.2 acres and four parcels. Table 1 shows a snapshot of existing uses in the study area.Housing Stock and Residential CharacterThere are 103 residential units in the area, with only 21% of those being owner-occupied. Several bungalow homes built between 1900-1925 are in good condition and represent the historic character of the neighborhood. While there are specific criteria for listing an historic building on local and national registers, the homes identified in Map 2 are considered to be historically significant only in general terms.

The original basin was constructed in 1973 and included a small high and dry boat storage facility. The original high and dry was razed to accommodate two 12-story condo towers; however, the condo project was abandoned and only the footings for the towers were constructed. The same portion of the marina was purchased in 2010 and improvements were made to the 65 boat slips. This area is controlled by a Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease with the State of Florida.In 2013, a proposal for a 68-foot tall high and dry boat storage facility on the property triggered conflict with the surrounding residential community due to its industrial use, location, massing and height. The proposal did not meet the City’s Downtown Redevelopment Plan requirements, and specifically the Old Bay Character District Transition Area rules. 1 | Clearwater Basin Marina2 | Clearwater Bay Marina/ Bait ShopThis strip of land has two buildings and a limited number of parking spaces, with access through land owned by the City and the Clearwater Basin Marina. One building is currently closed, and the other is operating as Blue Shark Bait Shop. This marina has a few wet slips, and there used to be a boat fueling station here. This area is partially controlled by a Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease with the State of Florida. Ownership of this site recently changed and the new owner is interested in making improvements.Key Properties17North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
The .5-acre parcel is owned by the West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND), the local sponsor for maintenance of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The parcel, surrounded by water on two sides, is maintained by the City and features a park-like setting with trees, sidewalks, and benches. Built in 1968, the City-owned and operated boat ramp is located at the western terminus of Seminole Street. The boat ramp is a self-service facility serving 100-150 boats daily during peak periods. The boat ramp is heavily used on most weekends, holidays, and the annual Superboat Race. It has eight lanes with relatively short, 30-35 foot long staging docks between every two ramps. Boats remain at the staging docks while trailers are parked and boats are loaded, delaying use of the ramp by the next patron. Homeless people often congregate near the ramp and cause safety concerns for boaters. The boat ramp has an adjacent 115-space boat trailer parking lot. Daily parking permits are required and can be purchased for $6/day from machines on-site. Permit fees amounted to approximately $103,000 this past year. Cars, trucks and boat trailers use two adjacent City-owned grass lots when parking at the boat ramp is full. Since it is illegal to park on non-designated lots or on-street locations, towing of trailers sometimes occurs. 3 | West Coast Inland Navigation District4 | Seminole Boat Ramp and Parking Key Properties18North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
The 192-seat playhouse sits on .8 acre of City-owned land governed by a 99-year lease signed in 1935 for payment of $1/year. The land includes 25 parking spaces west of the playhouse. Nine additional parking spaces in that area were licensed in 2014 for $1035/year. The Clearwater Garden Club and the Clearwater Free Clinic allow playhouse parking on weekends in exchange for complimentary show tickets. Additional parking during performances is needed, especially for matinées on weekends. The 14,000 s.f. building includes: areas for set construction, costumes and props storage; dressing rooms; a large rehearsal room; and the lobby which houses art displays and a small refreshment stand.5| Francis Wilson Playhouse Built in 1915, the original campus included two red brick two-story buildings approximately 35-feet tall. Later expansions unified the two buildings and added a building with additional classrooms on Fort Harrison Avenue. The campus has 21,000 s.f. of buildings, a large lawn, outdoor basketball court, auditorium, kitchen, several classrooms, storage buildings, and parking areas. The 2-acre site encompasses a city block that is surrounded by a chain link fence. The elementary school, owned by Pinellas County Schools (PCS), was closed in 2009 and has been vacant since then. PCS does not wish to sell the property, and has restrictive uses on how the building can be used in a lease agreement. The building has excellent views of the harbor from the second story. 6 | North Ward School Key Properties19North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
The 2.1-acre site of the former funeral home is vacant and encompasses a city block with frontage on Fort Harrison Avenue. The site is split between two owners: SCI Funeral Services and Clearwater Bay Marina, LLC. The site was approved for a 153-unit senior housing development at 52-feet tall. The development approval (FLD2013-12045) is still active, although securing financing has delayed construction.The clinic has been at 707 N. Fort Harrison Avenue since 1981. It expanded in 2011. The clinic is open Monday through Thursday and currently serves 4,000 Pinellas residents. This volunteer driven non-profit, non-government medical facility provides primary health care at no cost to those whom do not qualify for government assistance and whom cannot afford private medical care. The clinic’s director is exploring options to relocate the clinic in the near future. Therefore, its 1.3-acre site will be available for redevelopment.The business is a non-conforming use since the current zoning of the property does not allow open storage and the use predates the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. This business processes construction demolition debris on the 1.6-acre site. The business has been in operation for over 30 years. Ideally, this incompatible use will move out of the area in the new future.7 | Former Funeral Home and Parking 8 | Clearwater Free Clinic 9 | Howard Jimmie’s Demolition Key Properties20North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditionswill
The approved project (FLS2015-02005) includes 76 attached dwellings within five townhouse and apartment style buildings 40-feet tall, with a clubhouse, amenity area, stormwater retention pond, and 120 surface parking spaces. It will be for-rent workforce housing. While building construction has yet to begin, overhead power lines were buried along all four adjacent streets in November 2015.

Floodplain and Coastal Storm ZoneMost of the area is outside of the 100-year floodplain shown as Zone X on Map 4. Zones AE and VE are within the 100-year floodplain, which the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) calls the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The SFHA is the area where the National Flood Insurance Program’s floodplain management regulations must be enforced and the area where the mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies. The private marinas, the Seminole Boat Ramp, and other land at the water’s edge fall within the SFHA, or zones AE and VE. There are special development requirements for SFHA lands. The Coastal Storm Zone includes all areas seaward of the coastal construction control line established by state law and/or the velocity flood hazard area as established by FEMA. Only the Clearwater Basin Marina and portion of the Seminole Boat Ramp facility are within the City’s Coastal Storm Zone.MAP 4.

Views of Water and BluffThe elevation above mean sea level (AMSL) ranges from zero to 33 feet from Clearwater Harbor to the Pinellas Trail in the study area. The rise from 12 feet AMSL to 28 feet AMSL between Osceola Avenue and Fort Harrison Avenue on the south side of Nicholson Street presents an opportunity to provide structured parking underneath buildings without having to excavate. North Ward School at 24 feet AMSL has significant water views from the second floor windows. Likewise, views from the water create a unique opportunity to create a special place, and the height and placement of new buildings should be carefully considered.The bluffs which line the banks of the harbor provide for excellent water views of Clearwater Harbor. These water views are attractive for residential development and are a unique opportunity to draw tourists and visitors.The only public access points to the water in this area are at the ends of public streets and at the Seminole Boat Ramp. Nicholson Street is the only street with a clear view of the water from Osceola Avenue, as shown in the top left photo. The west end of this street is an opportunity to draw people in, and for them to recognize their location on the water.View Looking West to Nicholson Street from Osceola AvenueView from Second Floor of North Ward School View from Osceola Avenue at Seminole Street Looking WestView from Seminole Boat Ramp Parking LotView from Harbor North of Clearwater Basin MarinaView from Harbor South of Seminole Boat Ramp23North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Property EncumbrancesNorth Ward SchoolPinellas County Schools (PCS) owns this facility and does not wish to sell it. Even if it was made available to sell, Pinellas County School Board policy requires any surplus property to first be made available for charter school use. While PCS is open to working with the City to repurpose the facility through a lease agreement, there are restrictions on how it can be used. District staff identified a desire for the facility to include youth education related to visual and performing arts.West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND) While the City maintains this parcel at the end of Seminole Street, there are limitations to the use of this site since it is owned by the WCIND. Therefore, acquisition of the property or use agreements may pose a challenge. However, this is worth pursuing due to the parcel’s prime location. Seminole Boat RampUse of City-owned land is limited by the City Charter which states: “No municipally owned real property which was identified as recreation/open space on the city’s comprehensive land use plan map on November 16, 1989, or at any time thereafter, may be sold, donated, leased for a new use, or otherwise transferred without prior approval at referendum, except when the council determines it appropriate to dedicate right-of-way from, or easement over, such property. Such recreation/open space property may be leased Francis Wilson Playhouse License Agreement Exhibit from the City of Clearwater, April 30, 2014for an existing use, without referendum, unless such lease is otherwise prohibited by charter or ordinance.” The western portion of the Seminole Boat Ramp parking area was designated Recreation/Open Space in 1989. The remaining City-owned areas, including the eastern portion of the parking area, Francis Wilson Playhouse, and the two grass lots used for overflow parking, were designated as Public/Semi-Public use in 1989. Therefore, this area is not restricted by the City’s Charter. The City’s property in this area has since been designated Central Business District (CBD) future land use with Downtown zoning, as shown on Maps 6 and 7.Francis Wilson PlayhouseThe portion of City-owned land where the Francis Wilson Playhouse sits is governed by a 99-year lease signed in 1935. As shown in the exhibit to the right, the leased premises include 25 parking spaces to the west of the playhouse. The use of nine additional parking spaces west of the leased area was licensed by the City to Francis Wilson Playhouse in June 2014. In June 2015, the term was extended one year. In June 2016, the license may be extended one more year; after which the license will expire. 24North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
The Future Land Use Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan offers guidance on the preferred character, pattern, scale, and density/intensity of development within the City limits. The North Marina Area is primarily designated Central Business District and Commercial General. Small portions of Institutional and Residential Urban are in the northwest corner of the study area. These designations area shown on Map 5. Table 3 defines the minimum and maximum densities and intensities and zoning districts consistent with these future land use categories.The uses and development potential of a parcel of land is determined by the future land use designation, as well as the standards found in the City’s Community Development Code and the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The City’s Comprehensive Plan must be consistent with the Countywide Plan for Pinellas County. Future Land UseMAP 5.

The North Marina Area is primarily zoned Downtown (D) and Commercial (C). Smaller portions are Institutional (I) and Preservation (P), with Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) in the northwest corner of the study area. These zones are shown in Map 6.The Community Development Code identifies the Downtown District as a mixed-use environment where people can work, live, and shop in a place which is the economic, governmental, entertainment and cultural focal point of a livable city. The majority of the North Marina Area is governed by the Downtown Redevelopment Plan’s Old Bay Character District rules.Commercial zoning allows primarily retail and personal service uses and allows residential if part of a mixed-use project. The Low Medium Density Residential District allows residential (up to 7.5 units per acre), parks, recreation, and school uses. The Institutional District is for public and private institutions with a public interest to operate in support of the quality of life of Clearwater citizens. ZoningMAP 6.

Traffi c and SignageAll roads in the study area have excess capacity. The widening of Myrtle Avenue caused a reduction in traffic on Fort Harrison Avenue, where travel lanes are excessively wide. There are 13-foot lanes in each direction with a 16-foot continuous middle turn lane. The posted speed is 30 miles per hour. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, in 2014, the average annual daily traffic on Fort Harrison Avenue was 8,700 trips from Drew Street to Fairmont Street, while on Myrtle Avenue it was 12,200 trips from Cleveland Street to Palmetto Street. In 2015, the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) classified Myrtle Avenue as Level of Service (LOS) C from Drew Street to Fairmont Street in the afternoon peak hours. LOS C is average, compared with F which is failing, meaning there is not significant traffic congestion on Myrtle Avenue. Fort Harrison Avenue is not classified by the MPO because it is a local road. Traffic impacts will need to be evaluated by the City when development proposals are submitted for review. Boater traffic related to the use of the Seminole Boat Ramp increases significantly on weekends and holidays, sometimes causing back-ups on Seminole Street to Myrtle Avenue and local streets. Along Fort Harrison Avenue, signs delineate the Old Clearwater Bay Neighborhood and guide traffic. At Nicholson Street, a sign and flashing light warns Alt-19 northbound traffic to turn right at Fairmont Street in order to avoid the Transportation and InfrastructureCMyrtle Avenue apex. The base of that sign post covers three feet of the sidewalk, as shown in the photo below. A permanent variable message sign informs southbound traffic about Downtown events. Signage for businesses, real estate sales, and now unnecessary school traffic dominates the streetscape along Fort Harrison Avenue.28North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Bus TransitPinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) bus route 66 and the Jolley Trolley serve the study area. The PSTA bus route 78 runs along Myrtle Avenue very close to the study area. The Jolley Trolley, which connects Clearwater Beach, Downtown Clearwater, Dunedin and Palm Harbor, operates on Myrtle Avenue and Fort Harrison Avenue in the study area. It runs only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, once an hour from 10 a.m. to midnight. Bus route 66 runs on Fort Harrison Avenue from Tarpon Springs to Indian Rocks Shopping Center serving the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Alternate 19, Causeway Plaza, Bayshore Blvd, Main St/580, Patricia/Highland Ave, Sunset Point Rd, Park Street Terminal, Downtown Clearwater, Morton Plant Hospital, Diagnostic Clinic, Largo Medical Center, Sun Coast Hospital, and Indian Rocks Road. It runs Monday to Saturday from 5:10 a.m. to 7:50 p.m. and on Sundays and Holidays from 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.Sidewalk and Bicycle FacilitiesWhile not well-maintained, five-foot wide sidewalks are located along both sides of most streets in the study area. Sidewalks are missing in the following locations: 1) both sides of Spruce Avenue/Railroad Avenue and Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail, 2) the north side of Seminole Street between the Pinellas Trail and Garden Avenue adjacent to Howard Jimmie’s Demolition, and 3) the west side of Osceola Avenue. Sidewalks along Fort Harrison Avenue are 7.5-feet wide. On this street, overhead power lines were buried and special street light fixtures were installed. Some bus stops include a bench, but no shelters or trash receptacles. There are no designated bicycle lanes on any streets in the study area. Cyclists are often seen riding on the sidewalks of Fort Harrison Avenue. Pinellas TrailThe Pinellas Trail connects the North Marina Area to Downtown, as well as to the City of Dunedin and other communities in the County. This trail segment has been perceived to be unsafe by residents, business owners and through-riders which deters from its use. The trail has street crossings at Eldridge Street and Seminole Street, where cars must yield to cyclists, and bollards prevent cars from entering the trail.In the North Marina Area, streets with two-way car traffic run along both sides of the Pinellas Trail. These streets are Railroad Avenue (also called Spruce Avenue in this location), and Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail. There are guardrails on both sides of the Pinellas Trail from Jones Street to the south near Downtown, and Myrtle Avenue on the north. No other section of the trail has guardrails on both sides. 29North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
MAP 7. GATEWAYS AND VIEW CORRIDORSGateways and View CorridorsRecent redevelopment along Fort Harrison Avenue on the north edge of Downtown has enhanced the pedestrian qualities of the roadway that could be carried up into the North Marina Area, which is only a half-mile from the Downtown Core Character District. Seminole Street and Fort Harrison Avenue is the area’s gateway at the intersection of these two roads. Views of the waterfront are most prominent from Nicholson Street at the top of the bluff. It will be important to preserve this view corridor to maintain a connection with the water, a highly valuable asset in Clearwater.Connections from the Pinellas Trail to the waterfront have been examined. Due to the boat trailer traffic on Seminole Street there is not enough right-of-way to add bicycle lanes. Nicholson Street is a viable and safer bicycle route, via Osceola Avenue to Seminole Street. Therefore, a trail gateway would occur at Nicholson Street.It is reported that traffic congestion and unsafe conditions often occur at the connection of Fort Harrison Avenue and Myrtle Avenue, both at that apex and at the Fairmont Street intersection, north of the study area.1/2 mileTrail Gateway (Nicholson)Important Views LEGENDRoad Gateway (Seminole)Pedestrian CorridorOld Bay Character DistrictDowntown Core Character DistrictNorth Marina AreaPinellas TrailNRoad Gateway (Fairmont/Myrtle)DREW STCEDAR STOLD CLEARWATER HARBOR30North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
InfrastructureThe City of Clearwater provides public utility services throughout the study area limits. The consultant team reviewed the City’s Engineering Department atlas map series and provides the following description of existing major service area improvements.Potable WaterA 16-inch ductile iron main line is located within the Garden Avenue right-of-way and a 20-inch ductile iron main line located in the Cedar Street right-of-way provides the main potable service for the study area. These main lines are interconnected to a network of 6-inch water mains located within the Osceola Avenue, Fort Harrison Avenue, Garden Avenue, Eldridge Street, Nicholson Street and Cedar Street rights-of-way. Potable water service to future development parcels may be provided by private developers during site development planning and permitting processes in response to local site conditions.Sanitary SewerA 24-inch force main located along the west side of the Pinellas Trail right-of-way and an 6-inch force main along the Nicholson Street right-of-way provide service to the study area and connect with gravity-fed systems in the Osceola Avenue, Fort Harrison Avenue, Garden Avenue, Spruce Street and Nicholson Street rights-of-way. Sanitary service connection to future development parcels may be provided by private developers during site development planning and permitting processes in response to local site conditions.Natural Gas The study area is served by a high pressure gas main located along the west side of the Fort Harrison Avenue right-of-way and through other north-south running low pressure main lines along the Osceola Avenue, Fort Harrison Avenue, and Garden Avenue rights-of-way. East-west running low pressure mains connect the system along Nicholson Street, and portions of Cedar Avenue, Seminole Street and Eldridge Street rights-of-way. Extension of natural gas service to future development parcels may be provided by private developers during site development planning and permitting processes in response to local site conditions.Reclaimed WaterA portion of the study area is served by a 20-inch ductile iron main line that is located within the Seminole Street and Garden Avenue rights-of-way. Smaller 8-inch and 4-inch diameter PVC lines provide service for properties adjacent to Seminole Street (west of Garden Avenue to Osceola Avenue) and along the entire length of Osceola Avenue in the study area limits. Extension of reclaimed water service to future development parcels may be provided by private developers during site development planning and permitting processes in response to local site conditions.31North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Related Planning EffortsDComprehensive Boating PlanThe June 2014 ULI report also recommended that the City of Clearwater prepare a comprehensive plan that identifies opportunities and challenges in providing a full-service environment for boaters. This plan was prepared during the same time frame as the North Marina Area Master Plan. Comprehensive Boating Plan recommendations relating to the Seminole Boat Ramp are included in the North Marina Area Master Plan.The ULI panel said that the plan should investigate opportunities to enhance the publicly accessible open space elements at the Seminole Boat Ramp, and work with developers of the proposed high and dry facility or other developers interested in the area. The Plan should adhere to the Old Bay Character District design guidelines created in conjunction with neighborhood residents and stakeholders. The overall goal is to enhance public access to the waterfront. Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Panel ReportThis report was the impetus for this North Marina Area Master Plan. In June 2014, an Urban Land Institute (ULI) panel recommended that a plan be created for the North Marina area, including the proposed “high and dry” site, with the goals being to balance the needs of the boating community, area residents, and the development community; and provide the greatest value to the residents and the City. 32North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment PlanThe purpose of this Plan is two-fold: 1) to serve as a Special Area Plan in accordance with the Countywide Rules of Pinellas County and Florida Growth Management Rules; and 2) to serve as a Community Redevelopment Plan in accordance with Florida’s Community Redevelopment Act. As a Special Area Plan, this document is the land use plan for Downtown guiding future development through goals, objectives and policies and by the establishment of development potential for six unique character districts. As a Community Redevelopment Plan, this document sets the policies that guide future actions and projects of the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency. The Old Bay Character District has density, intensity and height limits for the portion of the North Marina Area zoned as Downtown. It identifies the private marina site as a transition area with special setback and height requirements as illustrated in the picture below.Economic Development Strategic PlanIn August 2011, the City approved the Economic Development Strategic Plan to evaluate the economic challenges facing Clearwater, evaluateopportunities, and establish guiding principles, goals, and priority strategies to best position the City for future investment. One of the City’s goals is to “Continue enhancing public amenities and aesthetics.” Many Clearwater business owners and professionals stated their interest in preserving and expanding the city’s parks, recreational facilities, and natural amenities. Not only is this a strong value held within the community, it also makes sense for promoting economic development. This value was expressed by participants in the North Marina Area Master Plan, and it is clear that public amenities and aesthetics are critical components in the master plan.Clearwater DowntownRedevelopment PlanPrepared by:ClearwaterPlanning DepartmentEffective Date:February 3, 2004CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN | AUGUST 2011 106 East 6th Street, Suite 550 | Austin, Texas 78701 | 512.343.9113 | www.tipstrategies.com 113’ 90’75’30’100’ 50’ 15’ Northern Boundary Line Appropriate: Old Bay character district – west of mean highwater line 30’ 100’ 43’ Northern Boundary Line Appropriate: Old Bay character district – east of mean highwater line Northern Boundary Line 20’30’ 100’ 50’ 15’ Old Bay Character District Transition Area Heights and Setbacks33North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions

Through creating and implementing Clearwater Greenprint, the City government is leading a community-wide effort to understand the challenges of today with a view toward creating a sustainable future. The strategies included in Clearwater Greenprint provide a framework for government, resident and business actions in the short, medium and long term. Several implementation strategies for the North Marina Area are directly correlated with Clearwater Greenprint.High and Dry Marina Site Feasibility StudyThe City conducted a High and Dry Marina Site Feasibility Study in 2007. Three sites were identified for the potential to add 250-300 high and dry storage spaces for vessels up to 35 feet tall with access to the Seminole Boat Ramp. These sites were: Stevenson Creek, Jack Russell Stadium, and Seminole Boat Ramp. Impacts on roadway system, neighborhood compatibility, and adjacent development proposals were considered. City Council endorsed the Seminole Boat Ramp location. At the time of this study, the Antigua Bay Yacht Club project was under construction at the Clearwater Basin Marina. The next steps were to produce the following: 1) a market study documenting existing and future demand; 2) site engineering for the boat storage and retrieval system; and 3) construction, operation and maintenance costs. The next steps were not taken.Shifting Gears: Bicycle and Pedestrian Master PlanIn 2006, the City developed a comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to further improve the bicycling and walking environment. The Plan incorporated and expanded the existing Bikeways and Trails Plan, and recommended actions to achievespecific objectives. It set the stage for taking the prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian improvements to the next level in the City. These types of improvements are a focal point of the North Marina Area Master Plan.34North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Market Area CharacteristicsThe market analysis was completed by Lakemont Group in order to examine the real estate and economic development potential of the North Marina Area. The market area is the geographic region in which residents are most likely to visit to shop, use the marina and boat ramp, or even relocate to live. While marina-related uses may draw demand from a much larger trade area (conceivably all of Tampa Bay), residents in the 1, 3, and 5 mile radii around the center of the North Marina Area are the defined market for this analysis, shown in Map 8.Maps 9-13 provide a profile of the market in terms of population, age, home value, retail sales, and crime. Tables 4-6 provide a snapshot of population and household size, income, and projected growth rates. These and other factors help assess the development potential for the area. Overall, the nation, state, and region appear relatively healthy with slow to moderate growth (in both employment and broad economic production) to support the need for additional real estate development in the North Marina Area over the next ten years.Market ConditionsEMAP 8.

MEDIAN AGE (BY CENSUS BLOCK GROUP), 2015Source: ESRI (Blue dot represents focal point of study area)36North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Area DemographicsThe population of the market area can be characterized as steady with slow growth. Median Household Income is below the national average and the Median Age is above the national average. These two data points are likely influenced by the number of retirees who locate in areas of Florida like this and have fixed incomes. The rate of population growth projected by ESRI using Census Bureau data is very slow, and likely due to the relative lack of new housing supply seen in recent years. Overall, the market area appears to be aging faster and growing more slowly than the state and nation. This is consistent with Census data and private forecasts which show that an increasing percentage of the United States will be over the age of 65 and that Florida will remain a top destination for retirees. The market area has income characteristics that are below the nation on average and are particularly low in the area closest to the North Marina Area, within the one-mile radius. This is explained by the relatively higher unemployment rate, lower percentage of population aged 25+ with bachelor’s degree, and higher poverty rate within the one-mile radius compared with the overall market area. Further, it also partially explains the higher relative crime index in the area, both statistically and according to local resident statements, which reduces the sense of safety of residents and likely deters new business openings.Overall, the market area could be best described as highly mixed with high-end housing, owner-occupied housing units (often near or facing the water) and low-income housing units occupied by renters along with middle-income renters and homeowners interspersed. The housing units in the one-mile market area are predominantly renter-occupied (46%) which is in character with the overall income and demographic profile of the market area. Within the five-mile radius, the ratio of renter-to-owner households decreases, but is still lower than the nation on average (U.S. owner-occupied percentage is 56% and renter-occupied percentage is 33% as of 2015). Not surprisingly, Median Home Values rise with proximity to the waterfront in the market area. This trend of higher values based on proximity to water extends to the rental market as well. However, homeownership rates stay consistent in the area while home age is relatively old for the area but slightly newer for the part facing the water. While relatively close to the core of Downtown Clearwater, the Study Area appears isolated and disconnected from Downtown due to the lack of activity and relatively high number of vacant buildings along Fort Harrison Avenue.Overall, retail goods expenditures in the Study Area are relatively low compared to the Market Area, but as expected, higher along the waterfront. Further, the overall Market Area exhibits retail leakage (sales potential occurring outside of the area) but is logical given the location of shopping hub areas in the overall region. The leakage factor is highest along the waterfront indicating potential for new retail establishments within the area. TABLE 5.

The general demographic that will most likely desire to live in the area, shop at the establishments, and use the boat ramp and other marina-focused establishments will have the following characteristics:• Older couples with no children living at home (i.e. most are likely to want living units with 3 bedrooms/2 baths and approximately 1,500 square feet, but larger and smaller configurations will probably be demanded as well);• Predominantly upper-middle-class with wealth from accumulated savings and home equity (i.e. can afford $300,000 to $600,000 in today’s dollars to buy a primary residence); and• People working in or retired from professions that are more skill-based than professional-based but still command above average incomes (i.e. nurse, military, teacher, welder, etc.) and are considered to need workforce housing.Study Area Development PotentialMarina-FocusedParcels surrounding Seminole Boat Ramp, Clearwater Basin Marina and Clearwater Bay Marina remain largely undeveloped or in uses that do not support, benefit or take advantage of the marina and boat launch. Future development that directly ties to the marina and boat launch will act as catalysts and demand drivers for parcels throughout most of the North Marina Area. A marina-specific assessment was completed by Moffatt and Nichol for this Plan to understand the market potential specifically related to marina facilities in the area. The assessment shows that boating destinations generally succeed based on the popularity of the landside activities available to boaters and non-boaters. These attractors are places or activities for the visitors to experience once they arrive and include signature waterfront restaurants, green space that encourages passive (non-event) use while supporting active (event) uses, public art, signature waterfront hotels, and family friendly activities like playgrounds. Boating destinations also have convenience facilities for boaters including restrooms and wayfinding. While additional wet slips or a high and dry facility would satisfy some of the demand for boat storage in the market area, they are not necessary for Clearwater to become a boating destination. However, hourly wet slips would benefit boaters visiting the area to enjoy the waterfront activities and businesses. Opportunities to enhance functionality for boaters include updating and enhancing the existing boater supply store and grab-and-go food service, providing publicly accessible restrooms, and constructing additional staging docks for handling boats during launch and retrieval.It is important to note that if any marina-focused development (such as a high and dry boat storage facility) is built in the study area, great care should be taken to avoid or mitigate any negative externalities such development could create. Potential negative externalities include traffic congestion, noise pollution, blockage of view of waterfront (for the upland parcels), and other effects that are inconsistent with development of a pedestrian-oriented district. Such uses have the potential to negatively impact all of the other development potential, especially residential uses.ResidentialResidential development offers quick access to major employment and activity centers of Downtown Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Downtown St. Petersburg, and Downtown Tampa. In particular, due to its proximity to Downtown Clearwater, the North Marina Area should naturally have a residential focus supporting employment Downtown. The road systems are not highly congested and thus better suited for residents than for business purposes (except those focused on the boat ramp and marina). 39North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Residential development is a logical use for many parcels in the area. There are two distinct areas within the Plan boundary suitable for residential development.The first area is located west of Fort Harrison Avenue overlooking Clearwater Harbor (referred to as Waterside). This part is well positioned for development of mid-rise for-rent housing, such as attached townhouses, condominiums, or apartment buildings, along with for-sale (including second/vacation home) condominium buildings that have clear views of the water. The Waterside commands a value and desirability premium given its proximity and views of Clearwater Harbor, now and in the future. It is anticipated that the Waterside can absorb approximately 90 new residential units over the next five years.The second area is located east of Fort Harrison Avenue, abutting the Pinellas Trail (referred to as Landside). This area is best suited for low-rise (such as detached single-family homes or duplexes) and mid-rise (such as garden style apartments or attached townhouses) housing, with price points suitable for low-to-middle-income or workforce residents. At present, the Landside is best served as a renter market and could benefit from special programs such as tax credit and bond financing if available, modeled after the Garden Trail Apartments development. It is anticipated that the Landside can absorb approximately 100 new residential units over the next five years.Given that there is no evidence of rapid population growth according to Census Bureau projections, it is advisable to keep to a slow pace of for-rent unit development as absorption may be slower here than the regional average. It is suspected that the bulk of the renters who will inhabit a newly built apartment complex in the area will come from the existing stock of structures in the area which were on average built in the 1960s or earlier according to the Census Bureau. It is possible for the Landside to transition to a more owner-occupied, higher-income residential area over many years. Retail/ShoppingThe Seminole Boat Ramp, Clearwater Basin Marina and Clearwater Bay Marina generate the potential for significant visitor traffic from across the region. As such, there is natural potential for service-oriented retail such as restaurants, gas stations/convenience stores, and small specialty stores (such as bait and tackle shops, marine supplies, and tourist-oriented boutiques). Further, the North Marina Area could support a reasonable amount of other low-intensity commercial uses such as professional office, medical office, or educational/civic facilities. Additional demand could likely be generated by completing the aforementioned residential development and orienting the marina/water features to be a bigger destination for regional residents and tourists alike. The best locations for retail/commercial development within the area are facing the water, along Fort Harrison Avenue, and on the Pinellas Trail similar to Nauti-Nancy’s restaurant located on the east side of the Pinellas Trail at Eldridge Street. It is anticipated that the area can absorb approximately 55,000 s.f. of retail/restaurant/office over the next five years.Hotel/TourismGiven that the Seminole Boat Ramp and Clearwater Basin Marina could generate demand by users from outside the immediate region on vacation, there is potential for hotel and other tourism development. Overall, the study area is inferior to local areas such as Clearwater Beach and even Downtown Clearwater for hotel/resort development, but could be ideal for a limited service hotel to specifically serve people staying overnight to utilize the boat ramp or other services of the marina and boat ramp. Additional tourist establishments such as charter tours and boat rentals from the nearby marinas could enhance this demand. If the North Ward School site were to become a visitor attraction, a hotel would be an even more viable use.IndustrialThe North Marina Area presently has some low intensity industrial/commercial uses, however the area appears to have failed to thrive in development of this use. Overall, industrial uses are not best for the area and will not enhance the development of projects in the area. This is primarily due to lack of infrastructure for industrial development and that such uses tend to conflict with the aforementioned residential uses and generate negative externalities that would likely impact the overall North Marina Area.40North Marina Area Master Plan - Existing Conditions
Special RecommendationsThere are two unique properties in the North Marina Area that could be repurposed from their present condition. These are the Francis Wilson Playhouse and the North Ward School. The playhouse is not the highest and best use for the land on which it sits directly in front of the water and marina. The best outcome would be to relocate the playhouse inland (one possible location is the North Ward School site) and then reclaim the land for part of a retail/commercial district. The playhouse brings visitors and is a positive cultural, community amenity, thus keeping it in the area may be very wise if physically and financially feasible.The North Ward School has been closed since 2009. Reopening this site for a community use is critical for the redevelopment of the North Marina Area. Removing the chain link fence and occupying the building will bring dramatic improvement. Potential uses include a cultural center that hosts classes and events open to the community (possibly to include the Francis Wilson Playhouse), and/or a marine/maritime school. While the owner, Pinellas County Schools, does not wish to sell or allow the property to have private uses, from a market perspective, the site is ideal for a mixed-use residential, retail and restaurant development.

3Community VisionA strong consensus-building effort with signifi cant input from the community drove the master planning process. This effort resulted in a community-based plan with the help from those residents andstakeholders whom are close to neighborhood issues, can clearly identify community needs, and advocate passionately for local concerns. The vision created will guide planning decisions at multiple levels: from the City’s Planning and Development Department to City Council and to residents and developers alike.43North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision

Stakeholder CommitteeACommittee Activities SummaryThe North Marina Area Master Plan Stakeholder Committee was comprised of residents, business and land owners, and managers of key properties within and near the North Marina Area. Twelve members were invited to participate in the committee. Three meetings were held at different points in the planning process. Stakeholder committee attendance ranged from six to eight stakeholders at each stakeholder committee meeting. Prior to the first stakeholder committee meeting, a few individual stakeholder interviews were conducted in July 2015. During the interviews, the consultant team gained a better understanding of the various view points of those stakeholders regarding the area. It also allowed for participation by stakeholders unable to attend the committee meetings.At the first stakeholder committee meeting on August 6, 2015, the consultant team provided an overview of the project and information gleaned from stakeholder interviews. The committee was asked to brainstorm about several topics regarding the North Marina Area, including: 1) area strengths and weaknesses, 2) desired uses and building types, 3) transportation system, and 4) ideas to help the area reach its full potential. This brainstorming session helped to frame the presentation and discussions that would occur at the first community-wide meeting. Ideas generated by the stakeholders were consistent with those from attendees at the community-wide meeting, described in the next section.The second stakeholder committee meeting was held on September 17, 2015. Stakeholders were asked for feedback on the results of the community-wide meeting held the day prior, as well as to provide guidance on next steps in the process. Their input helped to inform the master plan concepts presented to the community.The third and final stakeholder committee meeting on December 1, 2015, was held between the third and fourth community meetings in order to both gain feedback on the process to date, as well as to preview the materials being prepared for presentation to the community at the final meeting.Comment forms were provided at each meeting. Details about the stakeholder committee meetings are available in the Appendix of this plan document.45North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
Community MeetingsBMeeting #1The first community meeting was held on August 26, 2015. Approximately 70 people attended this meeting. Stantec presented an overview of the North Marina Area Master Plan project and a summary of existing conditions. Lakemont Group presented a market analysis overview. Attendees were then asked to participate in a facilitated group discussion and answer the following questions about the North Marina Area.• What do you like about the area?• What do you value in community improvement?• What businesses and services would you like to have in the area?• What types of new housing are needed in the area?• What do you think about recent development proposals near the waterfront? • What transformations do you want to see happen in the area?• What is your group’s vision statement for the area?Each of the eight groups were provided with a large chart to write down the items discussed. It was a collaborative effort by participants with varying perceptions and motivations. Each group gave much effort and generated many ideas. When the groups were ready, each group designated a reporter to present their ideas to everyone. Each presentation was well-received. Comment forms were provided to gain additional feedback.After the meeting, the words from each chart were typed into a spreadsheet and processed through a program called WoordleTM which generates “word clouds” from text provided. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. The word clouds that were generated are shown on the following page. An overall community vision statement was then drafted with the intent to account for each group’s ideas. This statement was presented for review and comment at the next three community meetings. It was also presented in an online survey. Online engagement is explained in Section D of this chapter. Revisions were made to the vision statement over the course of the planning process to fully capture the community’s collective values and aspirations for the area.46North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
StrengthsNew DevelopmentValuesComments regarding transformations needed in the area included:• Absentee owners to committed owners• More pride of ownership to fix up homes• Elevated market value of homes without displacement • Uses that promote activity and bring people here• North Ward School for arts program and community center • Balanced approach to mix commercial and residential uses• Boat accessibility to restaurants and retail • More walking paths, lighting, and on-street parking• Traffic calming and parking control in residential areas47North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
COMMUNITY VISION STATEMENTThe North Marina Area is a vibrant waterfront community on Clearwater Harbor. With a variety of uses, it attracts residents, businesses, visitors, and the boating community. It is unique, charming and peaceful, with historic character and culture. It promotes a healthy, active, social, family-friendly, and environmentally-responsible lifestyle. It is a safe and fun place to live, work, and play, day and night.This vision statement is a road map, indicating both what the community wants to become and guiding transformational initiatives by setting a defi ned direction for the community’s growth. It is a fusion of the collective values and aspirations expressed by a diverse cross-section of participants during a fi ve-month community-wide planning process.48North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
Meeting #2: Design CharretteThe second community meeting was held on September 16, 2015. Approximately 80 people attended from different locations in Clearwater, as shown on the map below entitled “Where are you from?”This meeting was led by Stantec’s urban design team, and conducted in the format of a design charrette. A charrette is an intensive planning session where citizens, designers and others collaborate on a vision for development. It allows everyone who participates to be a mutual author of the Plan. A summary of Meeting #1 was presented to set a framework for the facilitated exercise. Each of the eleven groups were asked to create a plan concept for the North Marina Area using a variety of tools and information.Each table was provided:• Large map of the area scaled to one inch on the map equals 100 feet on the ground;• Building block templates for various uses at same scale as map; • List of typical square footage of various uses (bank, grocery, residential dwellings, etc.);• List of typical off-street parking needed for various uses;• Photos of existing conditions; and• Pens, stickers, scissors, rulers, tape, etc.Participants were asked to depict on the map: 1) Features to protect; 2) Features to improve; 3) Public enhancements; and 4) Private development.49North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
When the groups were ready, each designated a reporter to present their plan to everyone. All eleven plans offered a mix of residential types, community uses, parking, ample green/open space and waterfront restaurants. Some showed on-street parking, residential over retail, restaurant over retail, first floor parking, commercial uses along the Pinellas Trail, a kayak launch, and a hotel. Many provided details on public amenities, such as a waterpark, boardwalk, farmers market, culinary school, mini-golf, fishing, skate park, trolley service, and a ferry to Clearwater Beach. Some plans included North Ward School programming ideas including the relocation of Francis Wilson Playhouse, an amphitheater, performance arts, marine charter school, and cultural center. The proposed 68-feet-tall high and dry boat storage was shown in seven of the eleven plans, but many noted that the height should be reduced. Other specific new uses included a laundry facility, gas station, local art shops, cafés and grocers. One plan showed a trail on Nicholson Street.Comment forms were provided to gain additional feedback.50North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
Meeting #3: Open HouseThe third community meeting was held on October 20, 2015, with approximately 60 people in attendance. The primary purpose of the meeting was to present three scenarios for review and comment. Stantec presented a summary of Community Meeting #2 to explain how the scenarios were created and the different features of each. The scenarios were created utilizing many different information sources, including:• Stakeholder Committee Input• Community Meeting #1 Group Discussions• Community Meeting #2 Group Concepts• Comment forms• Online survey responses• Market analysis • Owner-occupied homes• Historic homes • Property-owner plans• Land topography• City regulations• Property encumbrancesIt was explained that information still needed to create the preferred concept plan included:• Comments from Meeting #3• Additional online survey responses• Data from the Comprehensive Boating PlanAt this meeting, attendees were also asked to review different scales of development and provide feedback on appropriate building heights in the area. Pictures were shown to provide examples of low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings. There was also a survey about desired amenities in the North Marina Area and specifically at the Seminole Boat Ramp. Results from these surveys, which were also available online, can be found in Section D.After a brief presentation, the meeting format switched to open house for attendees to review the boards on display and ask questions of the consultant team. The boards depicted each of the three scenarios, as shown on the pages that follow. Also on display was a view analysis of the proposed high and dry included in Scenario 1 shown in relation to the North Ward School. Comparisons were made with the alternative uses of hotel and residential in that location as shown in Scenarios 2 and 3. Display boards also showed the proposed connection between the Pinellas Trail and the Seminole Boat Ramp by adding bicycle lanes on Nicholson Street, and on Osceola Avenue between Nicholson Street and Seminole Street. Cross-sections and plan views of these streets were depicted to obtain comments. A cross-section for Fort Harrison Avenue was also displayed to show potential on-street parking with a reduction in travel lanes. The final version of these street cross-sections are included in Chapter 4.The three scenarios are shown on the pages that follow. Each contains elements of the group concepts created at Community Meeting #2. Comment forms were provided to learn what people liked and disliked about each scenario.51North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision

Meeting #4: Preferred ConceptCommunity Meeting #4 was held on December 10, 2015, and was attended by approximately 50 people. At this meeting, Moffatt and Nichol provided an overview of the Comprehensive Boating Plan and specific recommendations for the Seminole Boat Ramp and private marinas. The Preferred Master Plan Concept and associated recommendations were presented by Stantec, and these are depicted in Chapter 4.Comment forms were provided to gain additional feedback. Attendees were asked: “Do you think the Preferred Concept and recommendations presented tonight address all components of the Community Vision Statement?” Of the comment forms collected, the majority of the responses answered yes. When asked what was missing from the Preferred Concept and recommendations, responses were as follows:• Ensure ample parking• Move traffic to Myrtle Avenue if not going to North Marina Area• Integrate this plan with existing Downtown plans• Provide flexibility in commercial zoning for a single-family house• Provide incentives for development, including a facade program for existing homes56North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision
Online EngagementDMy Clearwater InputThe City’s online engagement website myclearwaterinput.com was utilized to obtain feedback on the North Marina Area Master Plan. Over the course of five months, four surveys were posted and advertised. In addition to these surveys, at anytime, the public was able to submit an idea about the project on this website. The website also provided a link to find additional information on the City’s project page www.myclearwater.com/NorthMarinaAreaPlan. Survey 1On August 24, 2015, Survey 1 was posted for three weeks and generated five responses. The purpose of Survey 1 was to collect general information regarding the respondents’ familiarity with the North Marina Area, what they do when they visit, and what they would like to see there in the future. The features chosen as most liked in the area were boat access, the waterfront, and proximity to Downtown. Planning for the future, the most important areas of focus selected were leisure activities, entertainment, and business development. When asked about desired businesses and services in the area, the most popular responses were restaurants, condominiums, live-work units and shopping. Development of vacant land near the waterfront has the most potential to positively impact the area. When asked about previous projects proposed in the area in the last 15 years, respondents expressed concerns about two condominium buildings 127 and 138 feet in height. It was also stated that a marina with boat storage should be limited in size, and development along the waterfront needs to improve access and not restrict access. Survey 2Survey 2 was posted on September 18, 2015. There were nine responses during the four weeks it was open. The purpose of this survey was to obtain feedback on the proposed Community Vision Statement. Comments received were incorporated in revisions to the statement.Survey 3From October 8, 2015 through November 16, 2015, Survey 3 generated 13 responses. The primary purpose of the survey was to determine what the neighborhood considers to be the most appropriate scale of development within the North Marina Area. The survey also asked about amenities in the North Marina Area and specifically at the Seminole Boat Ramp. These questions were also asked at Community Meeting #3. Responses from both the meeting and online are compiled on the following page. Online Survey 3 also asked about uses for the North Ward School. The most popular responses were visual and performing arts and education, specifically a marine charter school or marine-related higher education. Seminole Boat Ramp users were asked about securely parking their trailers and the majority responded that the furthest distance they would be willing to park is one block from the launch. Half responded that they would be willing to use a valet parking service for their trailer.Survey 4The fourth and final survey was posted on October 23, 2015 for three weeks. The purpose of the survey was to obtain feedback on the three scenarios presented at Community Meeting #3. It was noted that the format of the website made it difficult to see the detailed maps. Seventeen responses were generated. Responses are included in the summary of comments.57North Marina Area Master Plan - Community Vision

High and Dry RecommendationIn order to achieve the vision of activating the North Marina Area, a hotel is recommended on the Clearwater Basin Marina property, rather than a high and dry. A hotel would help to strengthen the City’s position as a boating destination, which is supported by the Market Analysis and community feedback. While a high and dry would benefit the boating community, it is not needed for Clearwater to become a boating destination and does not advance that objective to the extent hotel development would.74North Marina Area Master Plan - Concept PlanRestaurant/CaféNorth Ward SchoolExample of Hotel NICHOLSON STCEDAR STOSCEOLA AVECEDAR STView Looking SouthFerry LandingHotel with Private Event Space

In the North Marina Area, wider sidewalks should be provided in order to accommodate the various streetscape amenities and accommodate additional people walking. This can be accomplished through both a “road diet” where lanes are narrowed and by requiring properties on the east side of Fort Harrison Avenue to provide a five-foot easement as properties are redeveloped.79North Marina Area Master Plan - Concept PlanFort Harrison Avenue near Seminole Street

Plan ImplementationEveryone will have a role to play in making the North Marina Area Master Plan one that is implemented and leads to new public and private development. Strategically integrating physical, economic and social investments will create a critical mass of support for the housing, retail and service uses that fulfi ll the community’s vision for the North Marina Area. 591North Marina Area Master Plan - Plan Implementation
Implementation StrategiesAThis chapter identifies specific strategies and actions that can be taken based on the analysis, outreach, research and planning efforts presented in the previous chapters of the North Marina Area Master Plan. These are intended to be catalysts for transformation. The strategies are grouped in categories of administrative, public realm and transportation, and sustainability.1. AdministrativeStrategy 1A – Amend the Downtown Planning Area Boundaries The City should amend the Downtown Redevelopment Plan to include all of the North Marina Area within the Old Bay Character District. This would include changing the added area’s Future Land Use to Central Business District and Zoning to Downtown District. If expanding the planning area is not feasible through the Countywide Rules, then the City should evaluate other means to achieving the North Marina Area vision within areas outside of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan’s purview, such as a zoning overlay. This could include evaluating the Commercial District zoning standards to enable the development of single-use residential through the City’s staff-level development review process. Alternatively, the City may wish to propose a new zoning district for certain parcels where residential is more compatible with the surrounding areas. Strategy 1B – Establish View CorridorsThe City should more specifically establish view corridors in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan to preserve views of Clearwater Harbor from Nicholson Street and other important points, including the bluff from the water. Height and placement of new buildings should be carefully considered. Views of the water are attractive for residential development and are a unique opportunity to draw tourists and visitors.Strategy 1C – Encourage Hotel Development on the WaterfrontThe City should update the Old Bay Character District of the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan to allow hotel development, limited to the area west of Osceola Avenue. The market analysis, Comprehensive Boating Plan and community input indicated that a hotel use is highly desirable in this area on the waterfront, since it serves as an attractor. Therefore, City rules should make hotel development more appealing than residential development in this area. Review of development proposals should focus on the mass, scale and design of hotel development, which would be a mid-rise structure, up to 100 feet in height. Any new development should meet the transition area requirements and preserve view corridors.

Strategy 1D – Establish New Building Setback on Fort Harrison AvenueThe City should establish a five-foot building setback on the east side of Fort Harrison Avenue in order to provide a widened sidewalk where on-street parking and landscaping will be added.Strategy 1E – Explore the Opportunity to Expand the CRA The City should explore the opportunity to expand the City’s Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) to the include the Old Bay Character District and the North Marina Area. This would create a much needed funding source for redevelopment of the area.Strategy 1F – Coordinate with PCS to Reopen North Ward SchoolThe City should coordinate with Pinellas County Schools (PCS) and possibly partner with a non-profit organization to reopen the North Ward School for community use. This will entail identifying resources and partnerships for programming and funding opportunities. A non-profit organization may be identified as the appropriate leaseholder. Desirable uses are outlined in Chapter 4.Strategy 1G – Review Minimum Parking StandardsThe City should review its minimum parking standards to determine if changes are needed. Shortages could exist or possible reductions could be made due to a high level of transit service and a walkable, mixed-use urban environment.Strategy 1H – Program Public SpacesThe City should create a program to activate public spaces. Temporary uses such as festivals, farmers markets, pop-up shops, and food trucks should be encouraged both in the proposed green spaces as well as within existing parking lots. While the appropriate regulations will need to be created to safely and effectively manage these events, it should be flexible and more permissive to encourage creative and lively environments.Strategy 1I- Coordinate with Owner of WCIND Park AreaThe City should coordinate with owner of West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND) property so the City can help this parcel meet its full potential for public use of the waterfront.Strategy 1J - Provide Assistance in Renovating Historic HousesThe City should provide assistance in renovating the unique mix of older housing types, which consists largely of historic bungalows built between 1990-1920, that give the area a rare taste of “old Florida,” to bring them up to a modern standard of living while retaining their Photo courtesy of Savannah College of Art and Design93North Marina Area Master Plan - Plan Implementation
historic charm. This assistance may come in the form of low-interest loans or grants that help property owners update their houses under specific criteria. The City should also promote the development of housing products that are sympathetic to this older housing stock within North Marina Area, including modern bungalows, quads and similar housing types that are geared to a mixed-income population. Strategy 1K – Support Makers Courtyard Concept The City should identify ways to support the Makers Courtyard concept as described in Chapter 4. Assisting local artisans and chefs creates business opportunities that benefit the local economy and community. Strategy 1L – Market the PlanThe City should identify a marketing plan for discussing the North Marina Area Master Plan with the local development community. Partners may include PCS, Clearwater Downtown Partnership, Clearwater Ferry, residents, property owners, and other stakeholders to potentially help advocate, fund, volunteer, market, and otherwise support the efforts. 2. Public Realm and TransportationStrategy 2A – Enhance the Seminole Boat Ramp FunctionThe City should enhance the Seminole Boat Ramp to be more functional for boaters by implementing the parking and vehicle circulation elements described in Chapter 4. Additionally, if public restrooms are not provided at Clearwater Basin Marina, the City should identify alternatives in order to provide permanent restroom facilities at the boat ramp.Strategy 2B – Activate the WaterfrontThe City should activate the waterfront by implementing the public realm, restaurant and lawn elements described in Chapter 4. After the City has committed funding for Seminole Boat Ramp improvements and a multi-use path connection to the Pinellas Trail, the City should evaluate the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a restaurant at the Seminole Boat Ramp. Entering into a partnership with a developer through a RFP process will bring a new restaurant which will activate the waterfront. Also see Sustainability Strategy 3B.Strategy 2C – Complete Streets from Pinellas Trail to Seminole Boat RampThe City should construct multi-use path segments on Nicholson Street, Osceola Avenue, and Seminole Street as described in Chapter 4. Strategy 2D – Enhance GatewaysThe City should install branding elements, landscaping, and other aesthetic improvements at key gateways, including: 1) Fort Harrison Avenue and Seminole Street; 2) the Pinellas Trail and Nicholson Street; and 3) Myrtle Avenue and Fort Harrison Avenue (“Downtown North Gateway” in the City’s Public Art and Design Master Plan). New and visible investment within these gateways will immediately signal that positive change is taking place within the area and identify them as places where art and culture are part of the built environment.Photo courtesy of Dan ParolekPhoto courtesy of TravelAssets.comPhoto courtesy of Amos Robinson94North Marina Area Master Plan - Plan Implementation
Strategy 2E – Add Streetscape AmenitiesThe City should provide streetscape amenities on Fort Harrison Avenue, Nicholson Street and Osceola Avenue as described in Chapter 4. These are important components of complete street design, but they also need regular maintenance in order to provide a high-quality environment. An assessment should be conducted for locating high-quality benches and solar-powered trash and recycling systems, as well as solar-powered signage. This would include identifying grants and other funding sources to support their purchase, installation, and long-term maintenance. Strategy 2F – Improve Street & Pedestrian Lighting The City should upgrade lighting in open spaces, paying attention to security, energy efficiency, and the aesthetic quality of fixtures. An assessment should be conducted for a street and pedestrian lighting plan and ensure all new development plans include a full range of lighting strategies to enhance the public realm. Strategy 2G – Improve the Pinellas Trail The City should coordinate with Pinellas County to improve the Pinellas Trail as described in Chapter 4. Also see Strategy 3C.Strategy 2H – Redesign Fort Harrison AvenueThe City should redesign Fort Harrison Avenue to add on-street parking on the east side and wider sidewalks, as described in Chapter 4. Changes to the Downtown Redevelopment Plan will be needed to provide wider sidewalks on the east side of the street which will require developers to set back buildings five feet from the property line. Also see Strategy 1B and 3C.Strategy 2I – Identify Temporary Creative ImprovementsThe City should identify creative, incremental small-scale low-cost options to improve streets and public space. For example, until Fort Harrison Avenue can be reconstructed, it could be re-striped and planters used to create “curbs” for expanded sidewalks. Experimentation like this helps to inform the design of permanent improvements.

While it is outside of the North Marina Area, it is a gateway to it. Traffic movement there is challenging, both at that apex and at the Fairmont Street intersection. A potential solution could be a traffic roundabout, or other reworking of these intersections. Strategy 2K – Install Public ArtThe City should produce a focused study, guided by the criterion of the Public Art & Design Master Plan, to identify preferred sites for public art installations and evaluate funding options for the North Marina Area. This would include reaching out to the local art community, schools, corporate sponsors, and public benefactors. Public art creates visual excitement and will help to draw visitors – and activity – to the public realm.Strategy 2L – Improve Bus Transit ServiceThe City should work with PSTA to identify locations where new transit shelters should be located and allow these to be incorporated into new building facades along Fort Harrison Avenue. When the City redesigns streets, the accommodation of bus stops should be included and the physical appearance of bus stop locations and amenities should be improved. The City should work with PSTA to evaluate the feasibility of circulator routes and plan for more frequent service on Fort Harrison Avenue. 3. SustainabilityStrategy 3A – Require Low Impact Development (LID) for Sites and BuildingsThe City should require the inclusion of LID techniques in site design to manage stormwater through small, cost-effective land forms, landscape areas, and built structures to reduce the volume of stormwater leaving developments or retrofit existing sites. The City’s Stormwater Drainage Criteria Manual (effective July 1, 2015, updated September 15, 2015) includes LID stormwater treatment methods, such as exfiltration trenches, bioswales or rain gardens, and permeable pavement. Strategy 3B – Use LID Techniques in Seminole Boat Ramp ImprovementsThe City should use LID techniques in Seminole Boat Ramp improvements. The existing parking lot improvements should include exfiltration trenches, and bioswales or rain gardens. The overflow trailer parking lot improvements should include permeable pavers and preserve the large oak trees on the north side of the lot. Strategy 3C - Expand Green Streets Program & InitiativesThe City should explore the potential to implement Green Streets programs and initiatives to incorporate the use of innovative stormwater management techniques in the redesign of Fort Harrison Avenue, Nicholson Street, Osceola Avenue, and the Pinellas Trail. A pilot program could demonstrate bioswale or rain garden effectiveness near the trail Example of a Green Street with Rain Gardens96North Marina Area Master Plan - Plan Implementation
connection. A Green Streets approach can enhance the pedestrian environment and introduce park-like elements and reduce the need to upsize the existing piped infrastructure. Strategy 3D - Improve Energy & Water EfficiencyAs called for in Clearwater Greenprint, the City should continue to explore ways to incentivize and promote the use of energy and water conservation in the design of new and the retrofit of existing buildings. Specifically relevant to the North Marina Area are Clearwater Greenprint recommendations calling for the creation of new Community Development Code provisions related to localized energy production through the installation of solar panels or compact wind turbines and energy efficiency and conservation measures for new construction and substantial renovation. The City should continue to expand the reclaimed water system where it is available and emphasize landscaping that is native to the area.Indoor water efficiency efforts should promote the use of efficient toilets, urinals, rinsing and cleaning facilities. The City should also explore techniques to use heating, ventilating, and cooling (HVAC) system condensate as an on-site alternative water supply for use in toilets and landscaping.Strategy 3E - Encourage Healthy Water BodiesThe City should encourage healthy water bodies though environmental education and continued coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This may include engagement of a qualified entity to periodically monitor marine health, creating policies that help protect marine habitat and the quality of water, and empowering the harbor master or similar position with enforcing these policies. This may involve marina compliance with the requirements of Sovereign Submerged Land Leases, participation in Florida’s Clean Marina Programs, and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance Clean and Resilient Marina Program. At the Seminole Boat Ramp, the City should provide new educational displays about protecting and restoring water quality through pollution prevention education. The cleanliness of the water is part of the brand of the City and will help the City live up to its name.Strategy 3F - Protect Manatees & Coastal WildlifeThe City should coordinate with Pinellas County Water and Navigation staff to educate the public on the expanded year-round manatee protection zone in Clearwater Harbor north of Memorial Causeway toward Island Estates, which is overlaid on the existing wake zone. Motorboat speed is limited due to a sustained increase in boat-related manatee fatalities and other risks. This new requirement was made by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Rule adoption is expected to occur in early 2016, but the zones will not go into effect on the water until regulatory markers are posted. At the Seminole Boat Ramp, the City should provide new educational displays about protecting manatees and coastal wildlife.Pervious paving with pea gravel over an infi ltration area.Parking lot runoff is captured in this bioswale.

Preliminary Cost EstimatesBThe North Marina Area Master Plan includes multiple planning concepts that will aide in the creation of a more vibrant waterfront community. Both public and private investment will be needed to support redevelopment of the area. The consultant team has prepared a preliminary opinion of probable cost estimates for the identified major public and public-private partnership project elements. These initial estimates are intended for capital planning purposes only and are based upon limited area wide analyses and currently available market construction planning data. It is assumed that specific costs will vary based upon the overall defined project, bid costs of construction material, procurement requirements, and current trends. Preliminary engineering design will be required to further quantify project design, permitting and cost requirements. General contractor, design and unknown conditions percentages are included in the estimates. The City’s capital project public art program commitment is assumed to be a percentage of the overall project cost. The consultant team used available data sources to generate the opinion of probable cost estimates including, but not limited to: Nicholson Street ImprovementsComponents CostsReplace existing 2-lane urban x-section from Pinellas Trail to Osceola Ave to create parallel, multi-use path along north side of street (approx.950 LF)$768,000Demolish existing street $43,500Bury overhead utility lines $192,000Street lights $60,000Bollards/trail separators $57,000Landscaping, irrigation and street furnishings$150,000Estimated Project Cost SummarySub-total$1,270,500Estimated General Contractor Fee (25%) $317,625Estimated Design Fee (8%) $101,640Sub-total$1,689,765Unknown Conditions (25%) $422,441Opinion of Probable Cost$2,112,206N.

Action Plan CThe following matrix lists the strategies previously identified. It includes both City departments and aligned outside agencies and stakeholders that are critical to assist in the implementation. All public physical improvements begin with the identification of Capital Improvement Project (CIP) prioritization and budgeting, and include the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to build the projects.For the North Marina Area Master Plan to be successful, department support and public funding will be needed to design and construct major infrastructure improvements. The matrix identifies a potential time frame that is based upon a preliminary prioritization of improvement actions. These may be modified based upon the City’s available budget and other priorities as needed.

8.1 Approve the City of Clearwater’s Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the
principal administrative report, documenting the City’s expenditures for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) programs to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). For Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-2015, the City’s entitlement
allocation was $726,298 in CDBG and $299,956 in HOME Program funds for a
total budget of $1,026,254 from federal funds.
The CAPER document serves as the basis for program monitoring for
compliance and for financial audits for all activities conducted during FY
Page 4 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
2014-2015 as outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The report provides HUD with
necessary information for the Department to meet its requirement to assess
each grantee’s ability to carry out relevant Community Planning and
Development programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.
It also provides information necessary for HUD’s Annual Report to Congress
and it provides grantees an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes
in revitalizing deteriorated neighborhoods and in meeting objectives stipulated
in their Consolidated Planning document.
In addition to reporting on our activities with federal money, we also included a
summary of activities conducted with the Florida State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) Program, Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund Program
and Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 in the narrative section; however,
these numbers are not included in the totals below.
Through the CDBG and HOME program activities, we expended a total of
$1,590,685 in FY 2014-2015, which included funding from the prior year
reprogrammed fund budget of $1,603,595. Those funds not expended from
this year’s budget will be programmed in future budgets.
The City of Clearwater’s FY 2014-2015 CAPER contains information on the
City’s assessment of the following activities:
- Assessment of Three to Five Year Goals and Objectives
- Affordable Housing
- Continuum of Care
- Leveraging Resources
- Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
- Citizens Comments
- Self-Evaluation
Over 5,438 persons were assisted through Public Services, Public Facilities,
Housing Rehabilitation and New Construction, Fair Housing, and Economic
Development projects and programs.
A brief summary of FY 2014-2015 accomplishments are:
- Closed on thirteen owner-occupied rehabilitation loans totaling
$285,514.

8.3 Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Residential Urban (RU)
category to the Residential/Office General (R/OG) category for property located at
2727 Daniel Street; and pass Ordinance 8786-16 on first reading. (LUP2015-08002)
This Future Land Use Map amendment application involves a 0.209 acre
parcel located on the southeast corner of Daniel Street and Charles Avenue,
approximately 415 feet west of McMullen Booth Road. The parcel is currently
occupied by a vacant single family residence. The request is to change the
parcel’s Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) to the
Residential/Office General (R/OG) category, in order to redevelop the site with
an office. The applicant has submitted two additional applications being
processed concurrently with this case:
1. A Zoning Atlas amendment to rezone the property from the Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District to the Office (O) Zoning
District (REZ2015-08001); and
2. A Flexible Development Application to redevelop the site as an office
building (FLD2015-08032) which was approved by the Community
Development Board November 17, 2015.
The proposed Residential/Office General (R/OG) category would permit
development at a 0.50 floor area ratio or a density of 15 dwelling units per
acre. The Residential/Office General (R/OG) future land use designation
requested is consistent with the surrounding future land use designations that
exist in the vicinity of the subject property. This area is transitioning from single
family residential to office uses, and the proposed Residential/Office General
(R/OG) designation will allow the site to redevelop as an office, which is in
character with the residential properties to the south and the office/commercial
properties to the north, east and west of the subject site.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the Community
Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Countywide Plan Rules;
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood;
• Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property;
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the
natural environment; and
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the use
of property in the immediate area.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, the land use plan amendment
is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of
County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The
Page 7 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
application is a small-scale amendment so review and approval by the Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is not
required.
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its November
17, 2015 public hearing and unanimously recommended approval.
Councilmember Jonson moved to approve a Future Land Use Map
Amendment from the Residential Urban (RU) category to the
Residential/Office General (R/OG) category for property located at
2727 Daniel Street. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
It was noted that the ordinance contained the incorrect zip code. The City
Attorney said the zip code would be corrected as a scrivener’s error.
Ordinance 8786-16 was presented and read by title only.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to pass Ordinance 8786-16 on
first reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the
vote was:
Ayes: 5 - Mayor Cretekos, Councilmember Hock-DiPolito, Councilmember
Jonson, Councilmember Hamilton and Vice Mayor Polglaze
8.4 Approve the annexation of an unaddressed parcel located on the west side of McMullen
Booth Road approximately 1,054 feet south of East Enterprise Road, together with the
abutting west half of the McMullen Booth Road right-of-way; and Pass Ordinance 8789-16
on first reading. (ANX2015-09024)
This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 4.522
acres. The parcel is currently vacant and is located on the west side of
McMullen Booth Road approximately 1,054 feet south of East Enterprise Road.
The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste and
water service from the City, and will be connected to city sewer once the
property is developed. The property is contiguous to existing city boundaries
along the south and west. The Development Review Committee is proposing
that 0.573-acres of abutting McMullen Booth Road right-of-way also be
annexed.
The applicant has also submitted applications to annex a 2-acre parcel
adjacent to the north (ANX2015-09025), to change the property’s Future Land
Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) to Institutional (I)
(LUP2015-09003) and to rezone the property to the Institutional (I) District (City
of Clearwater) (REZ2015-09002) upon annexation into the City of Clearwater.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Page 8 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• Collection of solid waste, sanitary sewer, and water service will be
provided to the property by the City. The property is located within
Police District III and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 2851 N. McMullen Booth Road. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to the property by Station
50 located at 2681 Countryside Boulevard. The City has adequate
capacity to serve the property with water, sanitary sewer, solid waste,
police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an
adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
• The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following
objectives of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of
Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban
service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through
the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the
Clearwater Planning Area.
• The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City
boundaries along the south and west; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
Applicant Representative Todd Pressman reviewed the request. The
proposed project will not impact traffic and will provide a transition from
the more intensive uses.
Vice Mayor Polglaze moved to Approve the annexation of an
unaddressed parcel located on the west side of McMullen Booth
Road approximately 1,054 feet south of East Enterprise Road,
together with the abutting west half of the McMullen Booth Road
right-of-way. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.

8.5 Approve the annexation of 2425 McMullen Booth Road, together with the abutting west half
of the McMullen Booth Road right-of-way; and pass Ordinance 8790-16 on first reading.
(ANX2015-09025)
This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 2 acres.
The parcel is currently occupied by a single family home and is located on the
west side of McMullen Booth Road approximately 836 feet south of East
Enterprise Road. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive
solid waste and water service from the City, and will be connected to city sewer
when the property is redeveloped. The property is contiguous to existing city
boundaries along the south and west (see companion case ANX2015-09024).
The Development Review Committee is proposing that 0.496-acres of abutting
McMullen Booth Road right-of-way also be annexed.
The applicant has also submitted applications to change the property’s Future
Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) to Institutional (I)
(LUP2015-09003) and to rezone the property to the Institutional (I) District (City
of Clearwater) (REZ2015-09002) upon annexation into the City of Clearwater.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• Collection of solid waste, sanitary sewer, and water service will be
provided to the property by the City. The property is located within

Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for
Page 10 City of Clearwater Draft

single-family residential properties upon request.
• The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City
boundaries along the south and west; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
In response to a question, Planning and Development Director Michael Delk
said the space between the subject parcel and the "L" shape parcel is over
200 ft.
Councilmember Jonson moved to approve the annexation of 2425
McMullen Booth Road, together with the abutting west half of the
McMullen Booth Road right-of-way. The motion was duly seconded
and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8790-16 was presented and read by title only.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to pass Ordinance 8790-16 on
first reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote
was:
Ayes: 5 - Mayor Cretekos, Councilmember Hock-DiPolito, Councilmember
Jonson, Councilmember Hamilton and Vice Mayor Polglaze
8.6 Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Residential Low (RL) category
to the Institutional (I) category for 2425 McMullen Booth Road and an unaddressed
parcel on McMullen Booth Road; and pass Ordinance 8791-16 on first reading.
(LUP2015-09003)
This Future Land Use Map amendment involves two parcels of land totaling
6.522 acres located on the west side of McMullen Booth Road approximately
836 feet south of East Enterprise Road. One parcel is currently occupied by a
single family residence, and the other parcel is currently vacant. The applicants
are requesting to amend the properties’ Future Land Use Map category of
Residential Low (RL) to the Institutional (I) category, indicating the intention to
redevelop the site as an assisted living facility; however, no plans have been
submitted at this time. The applicants have submitted three additional
applications being processed concurrently with this case:
1. A Petition for Annexation for the 4.522-acre property (vacant)
(ANX2015-09024);
2. A Petition for Annexation for the 2-acre property (existing single-family
residence) (ANX2015-09025); and
3. A Zoning Atlas amendment to rezone the two parcels (6.522 acres)
Page 11 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
from the A-E Agricultural Estate Residential District (Pinellas County) to
the Institutional (I) Zoning District (REZ2015-09002) upon annexation.
The proposed Institutional (I) category would permit development at a density
of 12.5 dwelling units per acre, or a FAR of 0.65. However, the City’s
Community Development Code limits development within the Institutional (I)
District to nonresidential or residential equivalent uses. The Institutional (I)
future land use category requested is consistent with the surrounding future
land use categories that exist in the vicinity of the subject property. McMullen
Booth Road is designated a Scenic/Non-Commercial Corridor, and there is an
existing pattern of institutional and residential uses along the corridor,
consistent with this designation. The proposed Institutional (I) future land use
category will allow the site to develop with a more intense use while providing a
transition from the residential properties to the south and west to the
commercial properties to the north of the subject site at the Enterprise Road
intersection.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the provisions of
Clearwater Community Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Countywide Plan Rules.
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the
natural environment.
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the use
of property in the immediate area.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, this land use plan amendment
is subject to the approval of the Pinellas Planning Council and the Board of
County Commissioners acting as the Countywide Planning Authority. The
application is a small-scale amendment so review and approval by the Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity (Division of Community Planning) is not
required.
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its November
17, 2015 public hearing and recommended approval with a vote of 6-1.
Councilmember Jonson questioned if he had a voting conflict since his
daughter lives in the abutting subdivision. The City Attorney confirmed that Page 12 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
Councilmember Jonson did not have a voting conflict.
In response to a questions, Planning Manager Lauren Matzke said there is no
direct conflict with commercial development to the north. To the south of Drew
Street there is a church complex and a future land use designation of
Institutional in that area. Staff looked at Institutional characteristics along
Union Street and its compatibility to properties designated residential urban,
which is one of the lower intensity residential districts. Ms. Matzke said a
majority of McMullen Booth Road, north of SR 580, is Institutional; the
countywide rules considers Institutional to be consistent with the Scenic
Non-Commercial Corridor designation. There is no other Institutional in the
area between Sunset Point Rd. and Enterprise Rd., except for the stubout on
Union St. The property to the west of the subject parcel is Residential Low and
the subdivision to the south is Residential Urban. Ms. Matzke said during the
land use map amendment, staff discusses the density and intensity of the
uses. Staff sometimes evaluates the changes in the land use since the future
land use map has been in place. Council would decide if the proposed
amendment is an appropriate land use in this area.
Applicant Todd Pressman reviewed the request. Developer Claire Clemens
said she met with the neighboring property owners to discuss the 12
ft.-landscaping perimeter.
The City Attorney said the item before Council is to determine if the property
should be designated an Institutional land use.
Seven individuals spoke in opposition with concerns expressed regarding
impact of vehicular traffic and proposed building heights.
Ms. Clemens showed how the proposed building plan will integrate with the
existing oak trees. She intends to save as many trees as possible. She
conducted a traffic count at Regency Oaks, a 386-unit independent living
facility, yesterday (4:24 p.m. – 5:24 p.m.) and observed 85 vehicles
entering/exiting the facility. The projected traffic during peak times for the
proposed project is 52. Ms. Clemens said Harborside Church is designated
Institutional and surrounded by residential homes.
Applicant consultant Steve Allison said infill development is never easy, which
is what the Applicant is proposing. Great neighborhoods are not homogenous;
they contain different land uses. The policies in the City’s comprehensive plan
clearly support diversity in the housing stock. The proposed project is
Page 13 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
ultimately residential use that protects the scenic non-commercial corridor
status.
In response to questions, Ms. Matzke said prior to being reviewed by CDB, the
application is reviewed by the Development Review Committee, which is
comprised of several city department representatives, such as Engineering,
Fire, Police, and Emergency Management. The Committee provided no
substantive comments or issues. The height maximum for single family homes
in the LMDR district is 30 ft. The setback for detached dwellings single family
homes is less than the required setback for Institutional uses. The minimum
standard/building permit rear setback is 10 ft.; the minimum rear setback for
Institutional uses is 20 ft. The side setbacks in the residential district is 5 ft.; the
side setbacks in Institutional is 10 ft. The front setbacks in both districts are 25
feet. The maximum height allowed in Institutional category is 50 ft.
The City Attorney said the property is currently zoned Agricultural Estate
Residential per the County. Council will consider the zoning category later in
this meeting. Council will not be approving the site plan.
In response to questions, Ms. Matzke said most of the concerns raised with
the project relate to the allowable uses under Institutional, such as halfway or
residential shelters, which are not minimum standard uses and require
additional scrutiny. Traffic Operations Manager Paul Bertels said a hotel
generates 4 trips per unit; single family homes generate 9.5 trips per unit. Mr.
Delk said it is not unusual to find walls between single family subdivisions.
There are several residential subdivisions along McMullen Booth Road that
have walls along the property perimeter or entrance gates. Subdivision walls
and fences are allowed in the Master Plan. The Scenic Non-commercial
Corridor designation is afforded through the countywide rules. The intent of
the designation is to preserve the residential characteristics of the corridor and
limit the commercial establishments to specific nodes. Mr. Bertels said the
only access point to the subject property is via McMullen Booth Road. There
will not be a connection to Barton Lane. McMullen Booth Road was widened
into its current configuration with a northbound left-turn lane into the subject
parcel; it was anticipated something would be developed at the site. Pinellas
County may require a lengthening of the left-turn lane. There is a fully
operational median opening in front of the property. Ms. Matzke said if Council
denies the request, the Developer can build a home with a maximum height of
30 ft. with a rear setback of 10 ft.
The City Attorney said if Council denies the request, Item 9.3 will not be heard
Page 14 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
since the rezoning request would no longer be appropriate.
A concern was expressed that if the change in land use is approved and the
proposed project does not proceed, the City may be faced with another project
based on the new land use. A concern was expressed regarding the
expectations of the neighboring residential subdivisions.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to Approve a Future Land
Use Map Amendment from the Residential Low (RL) category to the
Institutional (I) category for 2425 McMullen Booth Road and an
unaddressed parcel on McMullen Booth Road. Motion was duly
seconded and upon the vote being taken:
Ayes: 2 - Councilmember Hock-DiPolito and Councilmember Hamilton
Nays: 3 - Mayor Cretekos, Councilmember Jonson and Vice Mayor Polglaze
Motion failed.
Ms. Matzke said staff will return to Council with the appropriate ordinance to
continue the land use designation, Residential Low, on the City’s map and the compatible zoning designated.
8.7 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban
(RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR)
District for 1237 Union Street; and pass Ordinances 8793-16, 8794-16 and 8795-16
on first reading. (ANX2015-10026)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a single parcel of land totaling 0.141
acres. The parcel is occupied by a single-family dwelling and is located on the
south side of Union Street approximately 485 feet east of Douglas Avenue.
The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service
from the City, and has been connected to city sewer as part of the recently
completed Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The property is
contiguous to existing city limits along the west, south, and east. It is proposed
that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of
Residential Urban (RU) and the zoning category of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The property currently receives water service from the City. Collection
of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The applicant
has paid the sewer impact fee in full, and has been connected to the
sewer system. The property is located within Police District II and
service will be administered through the district headquarters located at
Page 15 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be
provided to the property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook
Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The
proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities
and their levels of service; and
• The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following
objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of
Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban
service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through
the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the
Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for
single-family residential properties upon request.
• The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category
is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of the
property. The Residential Urban (RU) designation primarily permits
residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The proposed zoning
district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR). The use of the subject property is consistent with
the uses allowed in the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR)

requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with
the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Community Development Code; and
• The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City
boundaries to the west, south, and east; therefore, the annexation is
consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

This voluntary annexation petition involves two parcels of land totaling 0.485
acres. The parcels are occupied by single-family dwellings and are located
generally south of Sunset Point Road, west of North Highland Avenue, east of
Kings Highway, and north of Palmetto Street. The applicants are requesting
annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will be
connected to city sewer as part of the Grove Circle Court Sewer Expansion
Project. The properties are contiguous to existing city limits along at least one
property boundary. It is proposed that the properties be assigned a Future
Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and the zoning category of
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The properties currently receive water service from the City. Collection

Restrictive Covenants, adopt Resolution 15-24, and authorize the appropriate officials
to execute same.
Page 23 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
The property is subject to rezoning and land use plan amendment
(LUZ2004-08005) which was contingent upon approval of Development
Agreement DVA2004-00004. LUZ2004-08005 changed the zoning of the
property from Open Space/ Recreation (OS/R) to Medium Density Residential
(MDR) and land use from Residential/ Open Space (R/OS) to Residential
Urban (RU). The zoning and land use allows for 7.5 dwelling units an acre and
as the subject property is 44.2 acres, 331 units are allowable. The
Development Agreement included restrictions to the development of the
property specifically allowing only 280 townhouse units. The Development
Agreement was amended twice through application DVA2004-00004A. The
Development Agreement is in effect until May 30, 2016.
Subject to the rezoning, land use and development agreement being approved,
Flexible Standard Development application FLS2005-08060 was approved on
February 21, 2006. However, this has since expired due to inactivity.
FLS2015-09020 has been submitted and reviewed by the Development Review
Committee (DRC) which proposes a 330-unit attached dwelling (apartment)
development which is 50 units more than the Development Agreement allows.
The applicant is requesting termination of the Development Agreement as
amended to allow for the additional 50 units, and the different style of
development.
Terms of the Development Agreement as amended:
Restricts development of the property to 280 units
Restricts height to a maximum of 35 feet (two stories)
Restricts the units to be townhomes
Requires development to be in substantial conformance with the concept
plan
Requires specific landscape buffering and building setbacks
Requires extension of the existing turn lane on Countryside Boulevard
Requires extension of the existing turn lane on Enterprise Road
Requires a utility easement to be granted to the City for constructed water
lines
Prohibits vehicular access to Laurelwood Drive
Requires a six-foot high buffering fence along the east property line
Restricts egress from property onto Enterprise Road to a right out
movement
Requires deed restrictions to be recorded for the property to generally
describe the development limitations of the Development Agreement
Revocation of a Development Agreement:
Pursuant to CDC Section 4-606.J., a Development Agreement may be revoked
in the event the City Council finds, on the basis of substantial competent
evidence, that there has been a failure to comply with the terms of the
Development Agreement. There has been no activity on the site since May of
2006 (other than the proposed FLS2005-09020), and the aforementioned term
of the Development Agreement that has occurred is the recording of the deed
Page 24 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
restrictions.
The Community Development Board reviewed the request at its public hearing
on November 17, 2015, and unanimously recommended approval of the request.
Applicant Representative Katie Cole reviewed the request. The original
development agreement was entered into contemplation of the sale of the
property to a residential builder and the sale was never consummated.
Two individuals spoke in opposition.
Ms. Cole said the applicant has submitted a site plan for a Level 1 minimum
standard site plan request and is pending staff review. The site plan positions
all proposed buildings to the south. The closest building will be 49 ft. from the
property line to the north. There will be landscaping in the buffer area. Ms.
Cole there will be no parking spaces between the existing residential homes
and the proposed buildings. The parking areas will along the right-of-way
areas. Consultant Cyndi Tarapani said there will be only one building, the
condominiums, that will be 49 ft. The closest building-to-building setback will
be approximately 75 feet. The 15 proposed buildings range from 90 - 140 ft. from the common property line. Prior to the Development Review Committee
meeting, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting. A third driveway on
Enterprise Road was added to disperse the vehicular traffic. The
townhome/villa section will be located in the northern third of the site. The
proposed apartment building will be 49 feet from the adjacent condominiums
and expected to rent for $1,100 to $2,100 a month. The apartment building will
be compromised of primarily 1 and 2 bedroom upscale apartments.
In response to questions, Planning and Development Director Michael Delk
said city code requires 2 parking spaces per unit. Ms. Tarapani said the
proposed project will have more parking spaces than required by code, as some of the buildings incorporate an enclosed garage. There will be
approximately 860 parking spaces.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to Approve the request to
terminate the Development Agreement between 25 Countryside
West, LLC, (property owner), and the City of Clearwater along with
the associated Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. The motion

8.12 Approve amendments to the Clearwater Community Development Code regarding the
establishment of funeral homes as a use; medical clinics in various districts; retail
plazas in the Commercial District; microbreweries in the Downtown District; resort
attached dwellings and non-residential off-street parking in the Tourist District;
eliminating inconsistencies and errors in the Institutional District; modifying the
requirements for outdoor cafés; clarifying the responsibility of the Development
Review Committee; providing for and modifying various definitions; and pass
Ordinance 8810-16 on first reading. (TA2015-08005)
The proposed amendment contains numerous revisions to the Community
Development Code. The most substantial topics are those concerning funeral
homes, medical clinics, resort attached dwellings and outdoor cafés.
Funeral homes:
The proposed amendment removes funeral homes from the definition of retail
sales and services and establishes it as its own use within the Commercial (C),
Office (O) and Institutional (I) Districts (the districts where funeral homes are
presently established). The establishment of funeral homes as its own
standalone use is related to the criteria that currently apply to it as a “retail” use
precluding it from truly being an allowable use in the I District. The criteria limit
the use to “goods and services directly related to the physical health and
well-being of persons or animals” and being accessory to a use “otherwise
permitted and the retail sales and service use [occupying] no more than ten
percent of the gross floor area of the building.” Rather than amending the
criteria and potentially impacting numerous retail uses, staff proposes to
establish the funeral homes use separately and provide appropriate criteria for
that use.
Medical clinics:
The proposed amendment does not introduce the medical clinic use to any
districts that it is not already permissible within, but instead facilitates the
easier establishment of the medical clinic use within those districts. Medical
clinics will become a Minimum Standard Development use in the C, O and I
Districts, and additional flexibility will be provided in the C, O and I Districts as
Flexible Standard Development (FLS) uses. In addition to the above, medical
clinics will be added to footnote #1 in Table 2-702 for consistency with the
Countywide Plan Rules. This footnote requires that medical clinics shall not
exceed ten acres without a land use map amendment to Institutional.
Resort attached dwellings:
The proposed amendment adds an additional criterion pertaining to height for
the resort attached dwellings use in the T District. The criterion clarifies that the
height for the use shall not exceed the height specified for residential uses
based upon the Beach by Design character district in which the use is to be
located. Additionally, the amendment will modify the definition of resort Page 26 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
attached dwellings to further clarify that the use is a variation on the attached
dwelling use.
Outdoor cafés:
The proposed amendment makes several changes to those provisions
governing outdoor cafés. First, the uses which may establish an outdoor café
are expanded to include bars, brewpubs, indoor recreation/entertainment,
microbreweries, and nightclubs. Second, the location and design requirements
will be modified to provide greater clarity and to ensure efficiencies in
pedestrian movement. Included among these efficiencies is language that the
Community Development Coordinator may require a wider pedestrian path
than otherwise required, and/or that the pedestrian path be delineated through
the use of self-supporting fencing, landscape planters, or other such devices
and methods as presented to and approved by the city. Additionally, the
amendment eliminates the mandatory requirement that outdoor café areas be
delineated - this will now be optional.
In addition to the above, staff is also proposing the following:
Adding microbreweries as a permissible use in the Downtown (D) District;
Deleting non-residential off-street parking as a permissible use in the
Tourist (T) District;
Modifying the development standards and flexibility criteria in the
Institutional (I) District to eliminate inconsistencies and errors;
Adding a footnote to the Minimum Standard Development table in the
Commercial (C) District regarding restaurants in retail plazas;
Correcting a statement of applicability in both the landscaping and parking
standards;
Clarifying an exception for the provision of off-street loading facilities in the
Tourist (T) District;
Clarifying the responsibility of the Development Review Committee (DRC);
and,
Defining or modifying the existing definition of the following terms: beer
garden, brewpubs, funeral homes, light assembly, manufacturing, medical
clinic, microbreweries, print shops, research and technology, resort
attached dwellings, retail sales and services, and vehicle service.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
text amendment to the Community Development Code is consistent with and
furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report. The CDB
reviewed the proposed text amendment at its meeting of November 17, 2015,
and unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.
Councilmember Jonson moved to Approve amendments to the
Clearwater Community Development Code regarding the
establishment of funeral homes as a use; medical clinics in various
districts; retail plazas in the Commercial District; microbreweries in
the Downtown District; resort attached dwellings and

(LMDR) District to the Office (O) District for property located at 2727 Daniel Street;
and pass Ordinance 8787-16 on first reading. (REZ2015-08001)
This Zoning Atlas Amendment application involves a 0.209 acre parcel located
on the southeast corner of Daniel Street and Charles Avenue, approximately
415 feet west of McMullen Booth Road. The parcel is currently occupied by a
vacant single family residence. The request is to amend the parcel’s Zoning
Atlas designation from the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District to
the Office (O) District, proposing to redevelop the site as an office. The
applicant has also submitted two additional applications being processed
concurrently with this case:
1. A Future Land Use Map amendment from the Residential Urban (RU)
category to the Residential/Office General (R/OG) category (LUP2015-
08002); and
2. A Flexible Development Application to redevelop the site as an office
building (FLD2015-08032) which was approved by the Community
Development Board November 17, 2015.
The proposed Office (O) District will allow the site to be redeveloped as
proposed with an office building and is consistent with the surrounding zoning
districts that exist in the vicinity of the subject property. This area is
transitioning from single family residential to office uses, and the proposed
Office (O) District will allow the site to redevelop as an office, which is in
character with the office properties to the north, east and west of the subject
site.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
Zoning Atlas amendment is consistent with the Community Development Code
Page 28 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Development Code;
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood;
• The available uses in the Office (O) District are compatible with the
surrounding area;
• The proposed amendment will not adversely burden public facilities,
including the traffic-carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or
disproportionate manner; and
• The proposed Office (O) District boundaries are appropriately drawn in
regard to location and classifications of streets, ownership lines,
existing improvements and the natural environment.
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its November
17, 2015 public hearing and unanimously recommended approval.

District. Both the current Tourist (T) District and the proposed Commercial (C)
District are consistent with the underlying future land use map classification of
Resort Facilities High (RFH), so no future land use map amendment is
required.

City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
The owner of the parcel has proposed a retail plaza on the site, which has
been approved by the Development Review Committee (DRC) in May and
August of this year (cases FLS2015-04007 (Phase I) and FLS2015-06012
(Phase II), respectively). This property is within the proposed US 19 Corridor
Regional Center boundaries, as approved by City Council in June 2015
(Resolution 15-02), and subsequently amended. The applicant is aware of the
proposed map changes to the City’s Future Land Use Map that are anticipated
to be brought forward to City Council for consideration in 2016, but indicates
that the proposed Commercial (C) District will provide more flexibility with
respect to permitted uses, in the interim.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
Zoning Atlas amendment is consistent with the Community Development Code
as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Development Code;
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood;
• The available uses in the Commercial (C) District are compatible with
the surrounding area;
• The proposed amendment will not adversely burden public facilities,
including the traffic-carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or
disproportionate manner; and
• The proposed Commercial (C) District boundaries are appropriately
drawn in regard to location and classifications of streets, ownership
lines, existing improvements and the natural environment.
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its November
17, 2015 public hearing and unanimously recommended approval.
In response to questions, Planning Manager Lauren Matzke said adult
entertainment facilities are allowed along US Highway 19. Planning and
Development Director Michael Delk said there are separation requirements
from residential areas on adult entertainment but US Highway 19 is where
they are accommodated. There are some adult entertainment facilities north of
Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Ms. Matzke said a stand-alone convenience store,
without gas pumps, would be allowed as retail use in the Tourist district. A
convenience store with gas pumps is allowed through the Commercial zoning.
Mr. Delk said this is the City’s primary activity center. With every zoning district
comes things that are desirable and undesirable. In the absence of a design
criteria to encourage what is desired and consistent with the strategic
economic development plan, staff cannot keep some of these proposals from
happening. Staff hopes the Applicant will propose something other than a
drive thru gas station at this site. Page 30 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
Applicant Representative Katie Cole reviewed the request. There is an
approved site plan for a retail sales and service center. The Applicant does not
know what they are going to do with the parcel but prefers the broader scope
allowed by the commercial zoning designation.
In response to questions, Mr. Delk said staff is finalizing the US 19 Plan. Ms.
Matzke said the final draft is being presented to the stakeholders in January
and staff will address any issues raised by the stakeholders. Mr. Delk said the
density and intensity in the corridor will increase dramatically. Anything will be
allowed to go in the commercial district. A form based approach to how things
fit where will be applied. He said the design criteria will be more defined. The
intent may be to discourage gas stations and convenience stores at key
locations but rather encourage more intense development in those areas at a
low threshold of approval. Commercial use is compatible in this area today.
Ms. Cole said the Applicant has tried to comply with the existing US 19 plan
from a design standpoint but is at a point where surety and clarity is needed.
The request is consistent with the Plan and the zoning code.
Discussion ensued with a concern expressed that a convenience store is not
the best and highest use for the site.

9.3 Approve a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the A-E Agricultural Estate Residential
District (Pinellas County) to the Institutional (I) District (City) for 2425 McMullen Booth
Road and an unaddressed parcel on McMullen Booth Road; and pass Ordinance
8792-16 on first reading. (REZ2015-09002)
This Zoning Atlas amendment involves two parcels of land totaling 6.522 acres
located on the west side of McMullen Booth Road approximately 836 feet south
of East Enterprise Road. One parcel is currently occupied by a single family
residence, and the other parcel is currently vacant. The applicant is requesting
to rezone the properties from A-E Agricultural Estate Residential District
(Pinellas County) to the Institutional (I) District (City), indicating the intention to
redevelop the site as an assisted living facility; however, no plans have been
submitted at this time. The applicant has submitted three additional
applications being processed concurrently with this case:
1. A Petition for Annexation for the 4.522-acre property not currently within
the City (vacant) (ANX2015-09024);
2. A Petition for Annexation for the 2-acre property not currently within the
City (existing single-family residence) (ANX2015-09025); and
3. A Future Land Use Map amendment from the Residential Low (RL)
category (Pinellas County) to the Institutional (I) category (LUP2015-
09003) for both parcels (6.522 acres) upon annexation.
The proposed Institutional (I) District will allow the site to be redeveloped with
institutional uses, including an assisted living facility. The Institutional (I)
zoning district is consistent with the surrounding zoning districts that exist in
the vicinity of the subject property. There is an existing pattern of residential
and institutional uses along McMullen Booth Road. As such, the proposed
amendment will allow development that is in character with the surrounding
properties and neighborhood.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
Zoning Atlas amendment is consistent with the Clearwater Community
Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Development Code.
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• The available uses in the Institutional (I) District are compatible with the
surrounding area.
Page 32 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes December 17, 2015
• The proposed amendment will not adversely burden public facilities,
including the traffic-carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or
disproportionate manner; and
• The proposed Institutional (I) District boundary is appropriately drawn in
regard to location and classification of streets, ownership lines, existing
improvements, and the natural environment.
The Community Development Board reviewed this application at its November
17, 2015 public hearing and recommended approval with a vote of 6-1.

and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
On August 6, 2015, the City Council approved allocating an additional
$2,580,000 from undesignated Penny III projects to Capital Project 315-93251
(Morningside Recreation Center), in fiscal year 2016/17, for the construction of
a new 22,000 sq. ft. recreation center at Morningside Recreation Complex.
Council approved moving forward with the design schedule of the Center in
Fiscal Year 2015/16 from current project funds ($2,890,000) so that
construction can begin in Fiscal Year 2016/17. Total estimated cost of the
project is $5,470,000.
Staff recommended the construction of a recreation center similar in size to the
Ross Norton Recreation and Countryside Recreation Centers. The facility
would consist of gymnasium, multipurpose rooms, fitness room, classroom,
restrooms and lobby.
WJA is one of the City's Architects of Record and has successfully partnered
with the City in designing and constructing several projects including the North
Greenwood Recreation and Aquatics Center, Long Center Renovations, Aging
Well Center at the Long Center and the Training Facility at Carpenter
Complex.
WJA has extensive knowledge and experience in design and construction of
recreation facilities and staff has had good working relationships with WJA in
the past by bringing projects in on time and within budgets.

The scope of services included in this contract include design development,
construction documents, permit assistance, bid assistance and construction
administration.
A separate Purchase Order was issued in November to WJA for $39,264 to
provide schematic design and master planning in order to start the community
engagement process with the design committee.
A design committee made up of city staff and citizens will work with WJA to
design a facility that will meet the needs of the community.
Fees for this contract are within the State of Florida’s Department of
Management Service (DMS) fee guidelines.

In response to a question, Assistant City Manager Jill Silverboard said it would
cost an additional $500,000 to attain LEED certification. Staff did not seek
cost estimates to attain Florida Green Building Standard certification or Energy Star certification. Greenprint was suggestive and optional with
alternatives that provide more green building results without the LEED
certification. The City Manager said Greenprint was presented as
aspirational, not literal.
A concern was expressed that the City should lead by example and implement
Greenprint procedures.
Ms. Silverboard said staff can find out the cost to pursue the other two
alternatives.
In response to questions, Fire Division Chief Ehlers said he spoke to a county
representative regarding shelter criteria. The recreation center property is in
a category E evacuation zone. The property borders C & D zones as well and
is in a vulnerable area. Buildings used as shelters need to meet Red Cross guidelines. Fewer shelters are built for a higher category storm. Ms.
Silverboard said the recreation center will be required to be built at least one
foot above base flood elevation.

SUMMARY:
Moffatt and Nichol, a leading global infrastructure advisor, has prepared a Comprehensive
Boating Plan designed to activate Clearwater’s downtown waterfront by making Clearwater the
premier boating destination in the region. This project was commissioned by the City of
Clearwater in response to objectives identified by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory
Services Panel.
By analyzing the existing boating market, gathering input from the boating public and
identifying Clearwater’s needs, Moffatt and Nichol has concluded that Clearwater is a
desirable boating area with the infrastructure to be a boating destination and have outlined
their recommendations in the Comprehensive Boating Plan.
Community input was gathered through the following public outreach activities:
Public Survey: Starting at the Clearwater Super Boat Race event over the weekend of
September 25-27, 2015, members of the public were surveyed to identify interest in visiting
Clearwater by boat and to identify barriers to visiting by boat.
Stakeholder One-on-One Meeting: The team interviewed members of the local commercial
boating businesses. The meeting included 3 members of the commercial boating community
representing the charter boats and the Clearwater Ferry water taxi service.
Public Meetings: Public meetings were held on November 16 and December 16. The first
public meeting was attended by approximately 30 people. The team presented the market
analysis as well as the analysis of other boating destination cities. The public was invited to
provide feedback on what was desirable and not desirable for Clearwater. In addition, a Visual
Preference Survey was conducted to gather feedback from the attendees on the types of
attractions that might be suitable for Clearwater. The second public meeting hosted
approximately 40 people and presented the recommendations for the Harbor Marina, Beach
Marina and Seminole Street Boat Ramp.
With community input along with their market analysis, Moffat and Nichol has made
recommendations for the Clearwater Harbor Marina, Clearwater Beach Marina and Seminole
Boat Launch that focus on:
Improving the boater experience
Improving non-boater access to waterfront areas
Maintaining a connection between land and water
Improving pedestrian access to the waterfront
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ID#15-2031
Maintaining and enhancing boater access
The market analysis shows that Clearwater has the potential to be a boating destination. The
existing infrastructure is sufficient to support a boating destination and there are many boaters
in the area that could be visitors to Clearwater. By implementing the recommendations
outlined in the Comprehensive Boating Plan, the ultimate goal of activating Clearwater’s
downtown waterfront can be achieved.
Staff recommends that Council accept the Comprehensive Boating Plan.

Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report INTRODUCTION 5
INTRODUCTION
The City of Clearwater (City) partnered with the Urban Land Institute (ULI)
Advisory Services Panel during the week of June 15-20, 2014, to develop a
series of specific planning recommendations for the City. One of the key
recommendations is that the City study the Downtown Core (the area
bounded by Myrtle Avenue to the east, Drew Street to the north, Chestnut
Street to the south and Clearwater Harbor to the west) with an eye towards
activating the Downtown waterfront. In response, the City commissioned
this Comprehensive Boating Plan to determine the components needed to
make Clearwater a boating destination, tying the entire waterfront together
throughout Downtown and connecting to Clearwater Beach (Figure 1).
This boating plan endeavors to determine the components necessary to
make Clearwater a boating destination by answering the following
questions:
1) What are the necessary components of a “boating center” to
activate the Harbor and support Downtown redevelopment?
2) What components of the “boating center” are present today? Are
they properly placed within a coordinated plan?
3) What components of a “boating center” are missing? Where should
the missing components be located?
4) What are “order of magnitude” costs to implement the plan?
5) What regulatory issues will the City face in implementing the plan?
The scope of work for this comprehensive boating plan includes review of
the existing facilities in Clearwater, an analysis of the marina market to
determine boating access in the Clearwater area, identification of what
makes a city a boating destination including a survey of other boating
destination cities, and development of a series of recommendations for
the various Clearwater boating facilities.
Figure 1: Clearwater Harbor
The series of recommendations developed for each boating facility will be
analyzed for regulatory considerations and order of magnitude
construction costs.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report EXISTING FACILITES 6
EXISTING FACILITES
Downtown Clearwater is separated from Clearwater Beach by Clearwater
Harbor. The Harbor is part of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and offers
access to the Gulf of Mexico via Clearwater Inlet. Downtown Clearwater and
Clearwater Beach are connected by the Clearwater Memorial Causeway
(Figure 1).
Clearwater Harbor is mostly shallow and boats venturing outside of marked
channels are at risk of running aground. The shallows are generally
populated by protected seagrasses.
Boats use the marina facilities in a variety of ways. Some boats have long-
term (monthly or annual) leases to use the slip while other slips are used for
“transient” boats that stay overnight or for several days. The City has also
established “day-docks” which are free or low cost for short term use and
are intended to support boaters using businesses near the marinas.
The following sections summarize the existing City-operated marina
facilities.
Clearwater Harbor Marina
Clearwater Harbor Marina is located in Downtown Clearwater adjacent to
Coachman Park. The Clearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge passes over the
marina with the remnant approach of the former bridge acting as a public
pier in the center of the marina.
The marina’s 126 slips are mostly occupied by long-term tenants. The City
has established 24 transient slips and 16 day dock slips. The docks are state-
of-the-art floating concrete docks with power, water, and dock boxes
available at each slip.
The marina is divided into the north and south basins, as shown in Figure 2,
with independent access and security gates for each area. The docks are
secured by keyed gates located near land. However, the north basin docks
are often unlocked to allow access to the day docks. The 24 transient slips
are located on outer docks along intracoastal channel. The 16 day dock
slips are located on the long dock near shore with access to land at both
the north and south ends. This area is open to the public (not behind
locked gates) during the day.
Figure 2: Harbor Marina Map.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report EXISTING FACILITES 7
The marina’s transient and day dock slips see sporadic usage. The highest
activity occurs during events at Coachman Park. Some event-goers arrive by
boat and will stay for the day or overnight to enjoy the concerts and
festivals, often sleeping on-board their boats. Popular events include the
following:
o Clearwater Jazz Holiday
o Clearwater Superboat Race
o Clearwater Fun n’ Sun Festival
o Clearwater Sea-Blues Festival
The Marina Dockmaster’s office is located at the north end of the marina.
Restrooms and showers for marina users (long-term and transient users)
are located at the Dockmaster’s office.
Photo 1: Clearwater Harbor Marina
Free parking is offered throughout the waterfront area in various lots. Due
to parking shortages and traffic congestion on Clearwater Beach, workers
and visitors to the beach are encouraged to park at the free Downtown
lots and use the privately operated Clearwater Ferry to commute. The
ferry uses a dock area near the day-docks to load and discharge
passengers at the Harbor Marina. The Clearwater Ferry stops at the
Clearwater Beach Marina and Clearwater Harbor Marina with plans to
expand to other locations.
Boaters leasing slips at the marina have noted that non-marina users
frequently park in the locations closest to the marina, pushing the boaters
further away. Waterfront users also report visiting the waterfront via car
and parking in the waterfront lots to eat lunch or drink coffee while
overlooking the harbor. The number of and frequency of non-marina
parking lot users was not evaluated for this plan.
The Clearwater Harbor Marina has full occupancy at the writing of this
report in late 2015 with a waiting list for some slip sizes.
Seminole Street Boat Launch
The Seminole Street Boat Launch is a self-service boat ramp facility serving
100 to 150 boats daily during peak periods. The launch ramp has 8 lanes
with relatively short, 30 to 35 feet long, staging docks between every two
ramps. Boats remain at the staging docks while trailers are parked and
boats are loaded, delaying use of the ramp by the next patron.
Trailers entering the ramp area to launch or retrieve boats queue along
the approach driveway along the Seminole Street alignment. Trailer
queues occasionally extend onto the public streets during peak demand
periods. Boat trailers are parked in the adjoining, city-managed, metered
parking lot. There is limited overflow parking available in the unpaved City
parcel at the southwest corner of Seminole St. and N. Osceola Ave. Trailers
have also reportedly parked on neighborhood streets when the lot is full.
The Seminole Street Boat Launch is also the main launch and staging area
for the annual Clearwater Super Boat Championship Race.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report EXISTING FACILITES 8
The number of boats served by the ramp appears to be limited by
congestion and available parking more than demand. City Marina staff
report that the opening of Belleair Causeway Boat Ramp in 2010 coincided
with fewer boats using the Seminole Street Boat Launch.
The in-water area at the boat launch is bounded by adjacent shallow
seagrass areas. The ramp has an 80 to 100 feet wide dredged area in front
of the ramps and staging docks for boat use. Beyond the dredged area to
the south, the water is too shallow for safe navigation. These areas are
emergent during extreme low tides and the seagrass is subject to damage
from boat propellers.
Photo 2: Seminole Street Boat Launch
The City-owned launch ramp is adjacent to the privately-owned Clearwater
Basin Marina. The marina provides wet slips for long term lease. The marina
store and bait shop at the boat launch are owned and operated by a
different private owner.
The Francis Wilson Playhouse also shares land and parking with the boat
launch area. A small park/greenspace, located at the western tip of the
launch area, is owned by the West Coast Inland Navigation District with
the landscaping maintained by the City. The park includes benches and a
walking path. Views are limited by low growing brush, mangroves, and
trees.
Clearwater Beach Marina
The Clearwater Beach Marina serves both recreational and commercial
boating interests. Charter fishing boats, water sport businesses (jet skis,
parasailing, etc), and harbor cruise vessels operate out the marina.
Information kiosks for these businesses line the landside parking area. The
Clearwater Ferry stops at the easternmost end of the marina with a small
floating platform for access.
Photo 3: Clearwater Beach Marina
The marina has more than 200 fixed-platform (not floating) boat slips. The
slips have power, potable water, and dock boxes. The marina has security
gates at key locations to limit dock access to boaters and their guests.
The marina offices are located at the marina building. The building is
shared with a restaurant space that is operated by a third-party restaurant
operator. Restrooms are located at the marina office building
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report EXISTING FACILITES 9
The marina is convenient to many Clearwater Beach attractions including
Pier 60 and the beach, restaurants, including the newly renovated marina
restaurant, and hotels.
Parking at the marina is shared between marina users, marina staff, and
restaurant users. Beach goers also try to use the lot and depending on the
day, parking may not be available for marina users.
Additional Facilities
The following facilities are maintained by the City of Clearwater. These
facilities supplement the facilities listed above but due to the relatively
small size and nature of the facilities, are not considered independently.
Clearwater Community Sailing Center
The Clearwater Community Sailing Center is operated by a non-profit
organization to provide sailing instruction to the general public. The facility
serves all interested people with a focus on youth, elderly, and disabled
sailors. No public boat slips are available at the Sailing Center.
Island Estates Public Boat Slips
The Island Estates Public Boat Slips primarily serve the Island Way Grill and
the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. There are 8 slips available for short term
use.
Clearwater Recreation Center Public Boat Slips
Approximately 40 slips are located at the Clearwater Recreation Center.
Sixteen of the slips are available for public use with the remainder of the
slips managed by the Sandpearl Resort.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report MARKET ANALYSIS 10
MARKET ANALYSIS
A market analysis was developed to evaluate whether there is sufficient
access and boating demand to support Clearwater as a boating destination.
The market analysis identifies the market area, existing marinas in the
market area, and the size of the boating population in the region.
Market Area
A boating facility’s (marina, boat ramp, etc.) market area is defined as the
geographical limits that boaters are expected to move through in their
typical boating activities. Within the geographical market area, facilities are
categorized by user demographic and facility type based on the appearance
of the facility, the vessel type and size that frequent the facility, and the
associated upland attractions.
Different studies suggest that most day boaters are willing to travel
approximately one hour from home to access their boat. For sport fishing,
overnight, and weekend boat use, some boat owners travel a much greater
distance. Using travel time, the Clearwater marina market region is
generally defined as the Intracoastal area of Pinellas County from the mouth
of Tampa Bay to Saint Joseph Sound. Figure 3 shows the market area
subdivided into “Middle Pinellas” and “South Pinellas” County.
Existing Facilities
Boating facilities along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway are a mix of
municipal and privately operated marinas and boat ramps catering to the
fishing and the recreational cruising markets.
Over 80 existing marinas and boat ramps were identified within 20 miles of
Clearwater (see Figure 3). These boating facilities comprise 5,400 wet slips,
5,700 dry storage slips, and over 120 boat ramp lanes. For this analysis,
upland boat storage facilities lacking waterfront access and private
residential docks were not included.
Figure 3: Market Area Map
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report MARKET ANALYSIS 11
The marina market and boat ramp market are reviewed in the following
sections.
Marinas
The physical attributes of the marinas in the market area are compared to
identify market characteristics. Physical attributes include dock type,
amenities, and slip sizes.
Dock Type
The majority of the marinas in the market area use fixed docks constructed
either of timber or concrete as shown in Table 1. Fixed docks tend to be
found in older marinas that haven’t undergone renovations, whereas
modern marinas tend to use floating docks wherever possible. Docks in
exposed locations and in larger marinas tend to be concrete while more
protected and smaller docks are timber. Some slips have boat lifts or are
covered. Although boat lifts and covered slips do not necessarily garner
higher lease rates, the boaters report high desirability for these kind of slips,
resulting in higher occupancy rates.

Table 2 shows the slip mix for the regional market compared to Clearwater

Amenities
Apart from the essential marina facilities, marina amenities provide added
value that is recognized by boaters. Along with dock utilities (power and
water), amenities include retail stores and restaurants, and restrooms. In
the regional market, available amenities are mostly consistent among
marinas.
Amenities can be categorized as dockside amenities (those that are
available to boats in the water) or upland amenities. Table 3 and Table 4
show the availability of dockside and upland amenities for the identified
marinas.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report MARKET ANALYSIS 12
Dockside amenities are typically offered based on boat size. Smaller docks
and older docks, as well as staging docks and dry slip storage facilities,
typically offer few or no amenities. Within this market area almost three
quarters of the boating facilities have potable water and around sixty
percent of provide electricity (many of the facilities that do not provide
these amenities are launch ramps). Potable water is generally included in
the slip lease price in most cases, and electricity is generally metered and
billed directly for larger slips and in newer marinas.
In older marinas or for small slips, electricity is either included in the slip
lease rate or billed at a flat rate. Live-aboard slips or boats equipped with
air conditioners are usually charged a premium by most marinas to cover
the additional demand on the marinas infrastructure.

not provided as often as the other dockside amenities, although Wi-Fi
systems are becoming more common. Fuel sales provide additional profit
for marinas and in many markets the percentage of marinas with fuel is
higher. This is an important service for boaters visiting the area to know
they can refuel.
Landside amenities are located off of the docks. The most common
landside amenities are showers (all marinas offer restrooms for patrons;
showers are in addition to restrooms), ice, and nearby restaurants.
Marinas in urban areas generally have access to onsite or nearby hotels
available for boaters that prefer not to sleep on their boats. Around 30
percent of the marinas identified have swimming pools (mainly found at
resort and hotel marinas).

Boat Launch Ramps
Pinellas County has over 40 locations with boat ramps, representing over
120 lanes. Typically the boat ramps are found at marina facilities with one
or two lanes available to supplement other marina boating access.
However, there are several stand-alone boat launch ramps in Pinellas
County that account for nearly half of the ramps. These ramps are very
popular with boaters and are heavily utilized on peak and non-peak
weekends.

Total 77
The primary obstacle to boat ramp use is typically parking. Most ramps have
sufficient parking for 10 to 20 boats per launch ramp lane. This is based on
the number of boats that can launch from a lane per hour multiplied by a
three hour launch window.
Boat ramps in Pinellas County provide an important service to the boating
community. Less than 10% of boaters have access to a public boat slip.
Public slips are supplemented by private residential docks and dry storage
facilities. The remaining boats use the boat ramps for boating access. The
launch ramps are estimated to be able to launch on the order of 2,000 to
3,000 boats per day.
Photo 4: Fort Desoto Boat Ramp
Boat ramps typically include a staging dock for boats to use after launching
for loading and waiting while the trailer is parked as well as during retrieval
while waiting for the trailer to be positioned on the ramp. Ramps also
typically have wash down areas to rinse salt from the boat and motor and
some have a pump out station for sewage.
Boater Trends
Boats in the U.S. are registered and licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard or
the state of residence. The number of registered boats directly relates to
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report MARKET ANALYSIS 14
boat ownership and boat use which affects marina slip demand. Figure 4
shows the national trends for all boats and boats larger than 40 feet that
are most likely to require a marina slip.
Figure 4: Boat Registration National Trends
Boat registration statistics for Pinellas County, Manatee County and
Hillsborough County follow trends similar to national trends. Total boat
registrations in 2014 are at or below registration totals from 2000 due to
economic instability during the “Great Recession” and variability in fuel
costs.
Source: U.S. Coast Guard/NMMA
Figure 5: Boat Registration Trends in Pinellas, Manatee and
Hillsborough Counties
Registration trends in recent years show stabilization and slight increases
in the number of registered boats. Pinellas County continues to rank
second in the State of Florida in total boat registrations to Miami-Dade
County and is first in the state in per capita boat registration.
Clearwater Market
Boats in the Clearwater marinas are predominantly motor boats
(approximately 80% compared to 20% sailboats). Sailboats report
insufficient water depths or narrow slip widths and too few berths as
impediments to the growth of the sailing community.
Both the Harbor and Beach Marinas are fully occupied. The Clearwater
Harbor Marina has a waiting list for most slip sizes. Boats may remain on
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report MARKET ANALYSIS 15
the list for several months or longer before getting a slip. The Clearwater
Beach Marina has a wait list for commercial slips. Commercial boats often
remain on the wait list for several years before obtaining a slip. Slips are
available at both marinas for transient and day-users. The transient and day
slips are often unused at the Harbor Marina except at times when there are
events at Coachman Park or the Clearwater area.
The Seminole Street Boat Launch is heavily used. The parking lot reaches
capacity on typical weekends and overflow parking is used on busier holiday
weekends.
Market Summary
Clearwater Harbor is a popular boating destination. The existing marina
slips are generally full. Transient boaters visit Clearwater Beach Marina to
go to restaurants, area hotels, and other attractions.
Transient boaters typically only visit Clearwater Harbor Marina during
popular events held in Coachman Park.
More long-term and transient slips are desired near Clearwater. However,
boating is not restricted in the market area – there are many places for
boating access and many boats that are looking for places to visit.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report DESTINATION ANALYSIS 16
DESTINATION ANALYSIS
An analysis of comparable boating destinations begins with an analysis of
what makes a boating destination. For this report, a boating destination is
defined as an area attracting boaters and non-boaters that is recognized
beyond the region as a destination and is busy during events and non-event
times. The following characteristics typify boating destinations:
What makes a boating destination?
Boats:
o Found where boating is popular for a variety of reasons
o Must have available boating facilities
o Enhanced by a strong boating community
People:
o Fun, Friendly, Safe Atmosphere
o Attractions for people to enjoy
o Easy to use including wayfinding and public comfort
facilities
The following sections analyze other marinas based on the above
categories.
Destination Marina Analysis
Analysis shows that there are two types of boating destinations. Some
boating destinations attract boaters because they have a large number of
protected boat slips, providing good boating access. Other locations are
boating destinations because they attract visiting boaters that don’t
ordinarily use the marina.
Eight boating destination cities in the southeastern United States were
identified for further analysis. These cities were evaluated for boating
infrastructure as well as the infrastructure that makes them boating
destinations. Destinations were selected based on the following:
Reputation – Cities with a reputation for an active waterfront
Boating Guides – Cities recommended by boating guides as
popular with tourists
City Size or Proximity – Cities comparable in size to Clearwater or
close in proximity to Clearwater
Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the following are the 2012
populations for the many of the larger coastal cities in the southeastern
U.S.
Based on these criteria, the following cities were evaluated:
Eastern Seaboard
Annapolis – Strong boating and sailing community; Naval
Academy; “Ego Alley”
Charleston – Historic city; along intracoastal; civic art and
greenspace
Savannah – Historic city; waterfront restaurants
Florida
St. Augustine – Historic city; waterfront restaurants
Naples – Strong fishing and boating culture
Sarasota – Waterfront restaurants, art, and greenspace; sailing
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report DESTINATION ANALYSIS 17
St. Petersburg – Waterfront restaurants, art, and greenspace;
sailing
Pensacola/Ft. Walton Bch/Destin – “Fishing capitol of the Gulf”;
waterfront restaurants, beaches
The U.S. census population estimate for these cities, as well as other cities
known for tourism throughout the southeast, is presented in Table 6.

In many boating destinations, there is a primary marina that supports the
boating activity but this is not always the case. Therefore, the overall
waterfront was evaluated for the selected destination cities.
Figure 6: Location of boating destinations
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report DESTINATION ANALYSIS 18
Analysis of the destinations shows there are multiple reasons that a city
becomes a boating destination. Often boating is part of the culture of the
city due to historical boating uses (e.g. Annapolis). Other places are tourist
destinations that attract non-boaters and boaters, making the city into a
boating destination (e.g. Charleston). Finally, there are those cities that
celebrate and embrace their waterfront in a way that results in a strong
boating community that builds interest in the waterfront from non-boaters
that then grows the boating community further (e.g. Annapolis).
Photos of the waterfronts in the selected destinations are below. These
photos show part of the waterfront of each city but were selected to
represent the character of the waterfront.

Marina amenities, including those analyzed in the previous section, add
value to marinas but they do not always constitute an incentive for transient
boaters to pick one marina over others at a boating destination. Boaters
visiting a destination often think of marinas as a parking lot. Marina
amenities are more important for boaters sleeping aboard their boat but
are not as critical for day-visitors. Day-visitors choose a marina based on
proximity to the activity they are interested in exploring. Popular marinas
are close to economic, cultural or leisure-time activities that attract the
general public and boaters.
This destination evaluation includes the number of boat slips available;
boating amenities such as fuel, restrooms, and repair facilities; and
attractions including restaurants, public art, and waterfront hotels. The
results of these analyses are presented in the matrix in Table 7.
Analysis of the destination matrix shows the following:
The number of slips at the destination is not critical to the
location being a boating destination; locations with more or
fewer slips are destinations
The location must have some transient slips - Clearwater has
more transient slips than some destinations
Dry stack storage (high and dry) provides additional access but is
not a necessary component of a successful boating destination
Fuel brings boaters and can help support a destination
Sailing schools appear in many destinations
Commercial attractions and popular landside activities are
common among all observed destinations
Analysis shows that most of the boating destinations analyzed in this
report do not have dry stack (high and dry) facilities and hence, is not
believed to be a defining factor in creating a boating destination.

Waterfront Attractions
Marina amenities increase the capabilities and the demand of a marina, but
they will not turn a marina into a boating destination by themselves. In
order to bring transient boaters, the marina needs to include a nearby
economic or cultural activity that is associated with the marina. The
following set of components are often found in other destinations:
Waterfront restaurants
Programmed green space
Waterfront stores
Art exhibits
Waterfront hotel
Charter activity
Beach access
The above destinations were further analyzed for these attractions. The
matrix of attractions for each city is found in Table 8. Analysis of the
destinations shows that the most common attractor is a waterfront
restaurant or similar food attraction. Restrooms are important as they allow
guests to stay longer at the destination but are not an attractor themselves.
Charter boats are prevalent in boating destinations but are not the attractor
themselves. Rather, charters are common in locations that have a lot of
visitors to support the charter business. Charters enhance a destination by
providing water access to boaters and non-boaters and offer activity that
the public enjoys watching.
Yacht clubs are also present in each boating destination. The clubs are often
responsible for local sailing regattas and attract boats from other clubs to
visit. The activity generated by these clubs attracts non-boaters to the
waterfront and the clubs are often found central to the boating destination.
Programmatic activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, etc., can be
attractions but are not as common as restaurants. This is likely due to a
smaller potential user group for these activities. However, these activities
enhance a destination by adding visual interest along a waterfront.
Attractor Proximity
Waterfront attractions are generally located in close proximity to the
waterfront. Successful destinations have many attractors within 1,000 ft
of the waterfront. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the variety and location of
Clearwater’s shops and attractions compared to St. Petersburg or
Sarasota.
In St. Petersburg and Sarasota there are many restaurants and shops
within close proximity to the waterfront while the closest restaurants in
Clearwater are nearly 1,000 ft from the waterfront.
In both Sarasota and St. Petersburg, boaters leaving the marina encounter
landscaped green spaces, art, and some wayfinding. These lead to
restaurants, bars, stores and cultural attractions.
Charter boats (fishing, sightseeing, and sailing) and water sports become
a way to attract people to the waterfront offering them a different
alternative to the regular tourist attractions.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
Private Boaters
Private boaters were surveyed during the 2015 Clearwater Superboat Race
held September 25-27, 2015. Boaters using the day dock as well as boaters
in the slips (long term and transient overnight) were surveyed based on the
form attached in Appendix 1.
Boaters surveyed reported that they typically only visit Clearwater Harbor
during events at Coachman Park. Otherwise, there is nothing to attract
boaters to the Harbor Marina.
Boaters suggested that a waterfront attractor, such as a restaurant, would
cause them to visit Clearwater more often. Boaters also indicated that there
are not a sufficient number of long-term slips in Clearwater to meet the
demand.
Boaters report that the Clearwater Beach is already a desirable location for
boats to visit except that the marina can be uncomfortable under some
wind conditions. Boats berthing against the fixed docks are “banged” into
the docks during these events. Boaters also report that the fixed docks are
difficult to access during very low tides.
Commercial Boaters
A stakeholder meeting was held with representatives from the commercial
boaters at the Clearwater Beach Marina. A record of the discussion is
included in Appendix 2. Results are summarized as follows:
Commercial boaters are found at Clearwater Beach Marina. City Charter
rules prohibit commercial boats from operating at the Harbor Marina.
The commercial users indicate that they feel Clearwater is not currently a
boating destination. These users suggest that the Harbor Marina lacks an
attractor to draw visiting boaters. They report that their guests do not
always know where to go at the Clearwater Marinas. They indicate that
wayfinding for attractions and businesses would benefit visitors at the
waterfront.
The commercial users recommend the following potential attractors for
the Downtown Harbor Marina:
Provide restrooms
Create an interesting path to Downtown
o Landscaped
o Use concept similar to Beach by Design in Downtown
Enhance the promenade – add a canopy
o Add a dedicated ferry dock off side of promenade
Add an anchor restaurant
Provide Seating/waiting areas
Add signage on east side of city to drive tourist to Downtown
starting at US 19 and SR 60
Encourage morning, noon and night places
Provide an information booth
They recommend avoiding the following items Downtown:
Jetski/kayak downtown rentals
Charter fishing or tour boats
The commercial users recommend the following potential attractors for
the Beach Marina:
Provide docks along the inlet for restaurants and ferry
Create wider sidewalks
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report PUBLIC OUTREACH 27
Add wayfinding
Utilize the connection under the bridge
Provide more places throughout for transient docks
Consider natural gas pump at fuel dock (unique in the market)
Public Meetings
The City of Clearwater hosted public meetings on November 16, 2015 and
December 16, 2015 to present findings of the market analysis, destination
comparison, and this boating plan. The meeting also included a visual
preference survey of waterfront locations. The results of the visual
preference survey are included in APPENDIX 3.
Comments from the public meetings are paraphrased as follows:
General
Not enough support for the sailing community
Not enough slips in Clearwater for the boating community

Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report BOATING PLAN 28
BOATING PLAN
Clearwater currently has many of the features needed for a visitor boating
destination. However, Clearwater is not expected to be the premier location
in the region for boat storage due to shallow water depths with protected
seagrass. Significant marina expansion is not feasible. Analysis shows that
the key element missing that can make Clearwater a premier boating
destination is an attraction that will draw boaters and non-boaters to the
waterfront. The attraction should be family friendly and be within 500 50
1,000 feet of the waterfront to maintain the feeling of connecting with the
water.
The following summarizes recommendations for the Clearwater boating
facilities to elevate Clearwater to the “premier” regional boating
destination.
Clearwater Harbor Marina
Clearwater’s Downtown waterfront is currently underutilized. Boaters
report that they don’t go to the Harbor Marina because there is “nothing to
do” when they arrive outside of times with festivals and events. The non-
boating public does not frequent the downtown waterfront for the same
reason.
Analysis of other destinations in comparison to Clearwater Harbor results in
the following key points.
Focus on maintaining a connection between land and water
Improve boater experience so access is easy and secure
Improve non-boater access to waterfront areas
These key points may be realized with the following specific
implementation recommendations.
1) Add an attraction
Activating the Clearwater Downtown waterfront will require the addition
of an attraction that draws boaters and non-boaters to the waterfront
throughout the year.
The public expressed a strong preference toward a waterfront restaurant
in the downtown area to act as an anchor of activity. The restaurant should
be within 500 to 1,000 feet of the water and should celebrate views of the
marina and sunset with open air seating where possible to maintain the
connection with the water.
2) Reorganize parking
Parking close to the marina is important to boaters. However, parking cars
directly on the water’s edge discourages public use of the space. The
existing parking areas may be pushed 20 to 30 ft back from the water’s
edge to provide greenspace and landscaping opportunities to enhance the
walkability of the downtown waterfront.
3) Provide public restrooms
Public restrooms are needed to serve boaters and non-boaters using the
waterfront.
4) Enhance security
Visitors to the waterfront need to feel safe from crime and solicitation
while visiting the waterfront. This will ultimately be achieved by the
presence of other visitors; however, in the short-term a security patrol
may be needed.
5) Add public art and artistic lighting
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report BOATING PLAN 29
Public art and artistic lighting provide points of interest and an activity for
visitors. Lighting should be environmentally friendly and minimize impacts
to nearby residential areas.
6) Provide wayfinding
Signage is recommended to guide pedestrians through the facility. Signage
should clarify safe pathways and directions toward points of interest.
7) Expand boat docks
The existing boat docks were configured to avoid seagrasses located in
shallow areas near the shore. The docks could be expanded towards shore
to bring the boats closer to land and increase the capacity for boat storage.
8) Add a mooring field/dinghy dock
In lieu of expanding the docks, additional boating access may be achieved
by development of a mooring field with a dinghy dock at the harbor.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report BOATING PLAN 30
Figure 9 Recommendations - Clearwater Harbor Marina
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report BOATING PLAN 31
Seminole Street Boat Launch Plan
The Seminole Street Boat Launch is a support facility for Clearwater’s
primary attractor locations. The boat launch provides water access to
hundreds of boats that may frequent the Clearwater destinations.
Marina dry stack storage (high and dry) would provide additional boating
access immediately to Clearwater Harbor. Access to this area is in high
demand but is not needed to make Clearwater a boating destination.
1) Add a waterfront hotel
A signature waterfront hotel with boat slips for guests. Boat slips will likely
need to be located in the existing private marina due to permitting
challenges associated with the shallow water depths and seagrass
surrounding the area.
2) Enhance the existing park
A signature park programmed for activity during various times (more than
just green space). Other destinations include parks with art, landscaping,
walking paths, and trees that are suitable for picnicking and that celebrate
views of the water.
3) Enhance the marina store
Supporting enhancement of the marina store at the site to include more
food service and additional boat supplies will attract more boaters to the
area. The store should be welcoming to non-boaters for food and beverage
service as well as boaters who already launched via boat docks at the
adjacent private marina.
4) Construct additional staging docks
Increase staging docks at the ramp to allow faster clearing of the ramps
during launch and retrieval.
5) Provide public restrooms
Public restrooms are needed to serve boaters and non-boaters using the
waterfront.
6) Maintain parking
Parking is needed for 100+ car/trailers on a regular basis. Reducing the
number of parking spaces will negatively impact use of the boat ramp and
should be avoided. Parking may be moved to the adjacent unpaved City-
owned lot or to a more remote lot that is within a short (5-minute) walk.
7) Enhance ramp functionality
Provide additional queuing docks. Configure the boat ramp exit queue to
allow tie down of boats after leaving the immediate ramp area. Consider
options for overflow parking including off-site lots within walking distance.
8) Enhance security
Provide a sense of security for parked cars and visitors. This could be
achieved using staff to patrol the area.
Clearwater Beach Marina Plan
The Clearwater Beach Marina currently has many of the attractors that
make a destination. Marina slips should be made available to allow day-
use for visiting restaurants and shops. In addition, the following
recommendations may enhance the marina as a destination.
1) Enhance marina edge
The existing marina edge is dominated by the commercial and charter
businesses operating out of the marina. The boat gear and information
kiosks crowd the walkway and may discourage the non-boating public
from walking along the marina edge.
2) Provide wayfinding
Signage is recommended to guide pedestrians through the facility. Signage
should clarify safe pathways and directions toward points of interest.
3) Replace existing docks with floating docks
Floating docks will reduce wave agitation in the basin and will make access
to boats easier during lower tides.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report BOATING PLAN 32
4) Provide public restrooms
Public restrooms are needed to serve boaters and non-boaters using the
waterfront.

Complete Streets
The National Complete Streets Coalition defines complete streets as “a
transportation approach that ensures all future street projects will take into
account the needs of all travelers, regardless of age, ability, or mode of
transportation.” With respect to the Clearwater Comprehensive Boating
Plan, the concept of complete streets is an ancillary consideration that
requires further study in future planning efforts for the downtown
waterfront area.
The downtown waterfront is generally bordered by Drew Street with
connections back into downtown via Cleveland Street, the east/west
portion of Drew Street and Pierce Street. Currently, Drew Street, where it
runs north/south and parallels the water, is a low impact street design with
access to waterfront parking areas. While Cleveland Street east of Osceola
Avenue has undergone a "complete streets" style renovation in recent
years, neither street connecting to or bordering the waterfront area
appears to have had any recent renovations.
The treatment of the bordering streets will be very important to the
outcome of the upcoming Bluff/Waterfront Master Study, which will take a
broader view of the area than this study. Streets that are both parallel and
perpendicular to the project borders should be considered in terms of
multimodal access to the waterfront and pedestrian-oriented aesthetics.
While the core concept of complete streets is important, and overarching
in terms of community philosophy and policy commitment by the City,
perhaps the most important consideration for both the current study and
the upcoming studies will be pedestrian, bicycle and transit access, in
addition to an alternative to the current parking solution.
Today, the Clearwater Harbor Marina area is very nice once you get there;
but how you get there, particularly without a car, is problematic. The project
area lacks clear pedestrian or bicycle pathways from Osceola Avenue or
Cleveland Street, or from the Harbor View Center or the Library. Handicap
access from those area to the waterfront is also difficult; and it is all
hampered by the need to transgress vast surface parking areas to be
anywhere other than at the marina. The area also lacks appropriate
wayfinding signage, and appears to have no transit connection from either
downtown or the beach.
To further the goals of the current project to enhance the Marina boating
experience, this plan recommends future pedestrian, handicap and bicycle
access studies, and wayfinding analysis; and a consideration of improved
facilities at or near the water’s edge to accommodate those kinds of
visitors. Consideration of such improvements might be accomplished
within the context of the upcoming Bluff/Waterfront master planning
process and its outcome.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report PERMITTING CONSIDERATIONS 36
PERMITTING CONSIDERATIONS
Construction of the recommendations in this plan will be subject to
permitting reviews by Federal, State, and local entities. Potential permit
reviews include environmental, navigation, and zoning considerations as
outlined in the following sections.
Environmental
Environmental permitting is required for in-water work by Federal (U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers), State (Florida Department of Environmental
Protection), and County (Pinellas County Water and Navigation) agencies
for potential
environmental
impacts. This
includes dock
construction and
dredging and
filling in the
harbor.
Environmental
permitting will
require analysis of
existing habitat
prior to permit
authorization.
This includes
identification of
critical habitats
that are protected
(seagrass) as well
as survey of non-
critical habitat for
benthic population. Agencies require avoidance of these habitats where
possible and often require mitigation for impacts where avoidance is not
possible.
The shallow nature of Clearwater Harbor and the existing seagrass
coverage suggest that new docks or moorings will require mitigation of
seagrass impacts.
Navigation
The Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) passes near the Harbor Marina and
Seminole Street Boat Ramp. Federal, state, and local agencies will review
proposed in-water construction for impacts to navigation in the ICWW and
other channels.
During permitting for the Clearwater Harbor Marina, the limits of the
docks were required to be adjusted by the permitting agencies to maintain
a minimum 27 foot offset from the edge of the ICWW to the marina usage
area. This offset was intended to maintain safe navigation and future
dredging clearances from the channel to the marina. Future marina and
boat ramp access dock expansion is expected to be subject to the same
requirement.
Zoning
Upland and in-water construction in Downtown Clearwater are governed
by the City Charter. The Charter is considered an authorizing document
whereby authorized activities and development are listed. Items not
specifically listed in the charter as authorized require a referendum. As
such, a referendum vote will be needed for proposed changes at the
Harbor Marina (Downtown) that are not specifically authorized by the
Charter.

Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report COST ANALYSIS 37
COST ANALYSIS
This section covers planning level costs for boating specific elements. Other
elements will have varying costs depending upon the final design and are
not included in this summary.
Seminole Street Boat Launch
Boating specific elements included in the recommendations above include
the enhanced access docks and associated dredging and access structures.
Access docks may be fixed or floating and may range in price from $60 per
square foot (timber) to $120 per square foot (floating concrete).
A typical 10 ft x 100 ft dock would cost on the order of $60,000 to $120,000
plus additional costs for access platforms and gangways related to the
floating dock and dredging costs for both options. Dredging costs are most
directly influenced by disposal of the dredged material. Costs can range
from $10 per cubic yard (local reuse of material as fill or similar) to $50 per
cubic yard or higher (hauling to nearby disposal facility). Dredging an area
that is 20 ft x 100 ft would cost on the order of $20,000 to $100,000.
Summing the dock infrastructure and dredging, the range of costs for a 10
ft x 100 ft dock could range from $100,000 to $250,000.
Funds for construction and design of these docks could potentially be
obtained through the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (BIGP). The
BIGP awards grants annually and successful applicants typically provide cost
sharing on the order of 30 to 50% of the total requested cost.
Other elements such as park enhancements and upgrades to the existing
marina store will have varying costs depending upon the final design and
are not included in this summary.
Clearwater Harbor Marina
Recommended in-water construction at the Harbor Marina includes
additional slips. Floating dock costs range from $30,000 to $50,000 per slip
(depending on size).
Construction of a new mooring field and dinghy dock near downtown will
cost $6,000 to $10,000 per mooring plus $150,000 to $250,000 for the
dinghy dock (depending on size).
Clearwater Beach Marina
Construction of state-of-the-art floating docks at the Beach Marina are
expected to cost on the order of $10,000,000 to $14,000,000 for 200+
slips. Cost is dependent upon the marina layout and additional structures
for dock access. The cost does not include dredging or bulkhead
construction/repair.
Clearwater Comprehensive Boating Plan– Final Report SUMMARY 38
SUMMARY
The market analysis shows that Clearwater has the potential to be a boating
destination. The existing infrastructure is sufficient to support a boating
destination and there are many boaters in the area that could be visitors to
Clearwater.
Analysis of other existing destinations shows that a marina or boating
facility by itself does not make a place a boating destination. A city needs
an activity generator that draws boaters and non-boaters to an area to
make it a destination.
Destinations need the following:
Boat slips available for visitors
o Slips are like parking lots – need them but they are not what
attracts
Good location
o Convenient to a lot of boats
Make it easy for people to stay
o Public facilities (restrooms, food and drink, information)
o Child friendly outdoor attractions
o Views (from various heights)
Destinations need attractions – attractions give the public
something to do when they arrive. Attractions include the
following:
o Art
o Restaurants/bars
o Hotels
o Child friendly outdoor attractions
o Views (from various heights)
The primary recommendations for Clearwater include the following:
Add an attraction near the waterfront at the Harbor Marina.
Add docks and a mooring field where possible.
Enhance waterfront access for non-boaters. Consider
implementing principles similar to the Beach Walk along the
marinas.
Support a hotel at the Seminole St. Boat Launch.
Upgrade the docks at the Clearwater Beach Marina to floating
docks.
Add wayfinding at the marinas and boat ramp.
Enhance the connection between Coachman Park and the
waterfront.
These recommendations should include consideration of views from the
uplands and maintaining the visual and physical connection between land
and water.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve acceptance of Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Countywide Justice
Assistance Grant in the amount of $4,500, for purchase of one ruggedized tablet computer
and accessories and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Police Department (CPD) requests permission to accept a grant from FDLE in the
amount of $4,500 for the purchase of one ruggedized tablet computer, a thermal printer, and
one extra battery. These items will be utilized by officers assigned to CPD’s District I.
District I includes all of Clearwater Beach, Island Estates and Sand Key, as well as the 50
square miles of waterways that fall under CPD’s jurisdiction. On the water, the department’s
Marine Patrol Unit is responsible for law and ordinance enforcement, boater education, marine
safety inspections, fisheries violations, vessel accident investigations, emergency response
and search and rescue.
District I’s environment presents unique challenges for the patrol officers who work there. Not
only are they responsible for patrolling the businesses and hotels located on Clearwater
Beach, but also the sandy beaches and the beautiful waterways that are responsible for
bringing larger and larger crowds each year.
Officers on the beach are often on foot, riding the sandy beaches in “mules” or on bicycles, or
on the Marine Patrol boat. Currently, if police confront a person who has violated either a City
ordinance or Florida statute out on the sand or on the water, the officer cannot issue a written
citation on the spot, but must escort the individual to a patrol cruiser or call for another officer
with a vehicle that has a laptop computer and printer. From an officer safety and efficiency
standpoint, the current system is not in the best interest of police or the public. The utilization
of a portable tablet computer and printer that the officer can carry on his/her person, ATV, or
bicycle will allow the officer to cite a violator on the spot and then resume patrol duties
immediately. This will provide much greater coverage of the beach and waterways, making
the patrol officers more efficient and providing a safer environment for beachgoers and
boaters alike.
There will be 19 patrol officers who will share the use of the tablet and printer. The public,
including 8,000 local Clearwater Beach residents and some 954,900 visitors annually, will be
the beneficiaries of the more efficient services provided by the Beach and Marine patrol
officers.
Grant revenues will be received in the General Fund with all offsetting expenses charged to
the Police Department Patrol Supervision funding code 0010-01131-552500-521-000-0000.
There is no mandatory match for this grant.

SUMMARY:
The Pinellas County Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMS Authority) is a special
district created for the purpose of providing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) throughout
Pinellas County, pursuant to Chapter 80-585, Laws of Florida, and Chapter 54, Article III,
Pinellas County Code, as amended.
Pinellas County has contracted with various municipalities and independent special fire
districts in the county to provide first responder services and has also contracted with an
ambulance contractor to provide emergency and non-emergency transport services.
Through this contract, Clearwater Fire and Rescue will provide advanced life support services
to the residents of the City of Clearwater and to individuals within the unincorporated area of
Pinellas County that is located within the Clearwater Fire Control District.

Assistant Chief of EMS in EMS Training, Quality Assurance, Inventory Controls, and
Continuing Education requirements. This position coordinates several management policies
such as electronic patient care reporting, First Watch, First Pass, electronic controlled
substance records, and restricted EMS supplies and equipment. These duties seek to ensure
quality improvement initiatives are identified, developed, and effectively resulting in the highest
quality of care given within the Clearwater Fire District and to the Pinellas County EMS
system.
A 1st Quarter Budget amendment provides offsetting revenues and expenditures to fund
$121,430 to provide personnel costs and $40,000 to provide a vehicle for this position. The
department will use this funding for the vacant and currently unbudgeted deputy fire chief
position and reclassify the position as an EMS Administrative Coordinator.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
The amendment to the EMS First Responder Agreement provides additional revenue to offset
the personnel and vehicle costs incurred by Clearwater Fire & Rescue under this agreement.
Additional EMS Authority revenue of $161,430 in code 0-010-00000-338911-000-000-000 will

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the grant agreement between the City of Clearwater and the National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH) for a grant in the amount of $11,188 that will allow the Clearwater
Public Library System to digitize local history items and present programming about local
history, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The NEH Common Heritage grant in the amount of $11,188 awarded to the Clearwater Public
Library System will allow it to host “digitization days,” encouraging members of the public to
share materials important to their family or community histories, such as photographs,
artifacts, family letters, and works of art.
These items will be digitized, along with descriptive information and context provided by the
community attendees. With the owner’s permission, the digitized materials will be made
publicly available through the library’s online Pinellas Memory Project
http://clearwater.pinellasmemory.org <https://webmail.myclearwater.com/owa/redir.aspx?

qOMn4.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fclearwater.pinellasmemory.org>. Contributors will receive a
free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials.
This NEH Common Heritage grant will also support library programming that celebrates and
expands knowledge of the community’s past and the diverse histories of its members. It will
coincide with programs and activities throughout 2016 in celebration of the Clearwater Public
Library System’s 100th anniversary.
Funds to support staff time and equipment maintenance in the approximate amount of
$4,000.00 are needed to properly execute this grant.
This grant was brought forward and approved by the Resource Management Committee at
their June 3, 2015 meeting.
No additional operating impacts are needed to support this program.
A first-quarter budget amendment will establish program 181-98603, Common Heritage Grant
(NEH), with a budget of $11,188 to account for this grant funding.

CLEARWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM WINS FEDERAL GRANT
Library wins grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to preserve community history
WASHINGTON (December 16, 2015) — The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced
$423,464 in grants to 38 cultural organizations to bring historical records and artifacts currently hidden in family attics and basements across the country and make them digitally available to the wider public and for posterity.The Clearwater Public Library System has been awarded $12,000 and is one of only two institutions in the state
of Florida to have been awarded the grant.
These are the first awards made under NEH’s new Common Heritage grant program, which was created in April
2015 as part of The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Square, an agency-wide initiative that seeks to enhance the role of the humanities in civic life.
The Common Heritage grant awarded to the Clearwater Public Library System will allow it to host “digitization days,” encouraging members of the public to share materials important to their family or community histories,
such as photographs, artifacts, family letters, and works of art.
These items will be digitized, along with descriptive information and context provided by the community
attendees. With the owner’s permission, the digitized materials will be made publicly available through the
library’s online Pinellas Memory Project http://clearwater.pinellasmemory.org. Contributors will receive a free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials.
This NEH Common Heritage grant will also support library programming that celebrates and expands knowledge of the community’s past and the diverse histories of its members. It will coincide with programs and activities
throughout 2016 in celebration of the Clearwater Public Library System’s 100
th anniversary.
“We know that America’s cultural heritage isn’t found only in libraries and museums,” said NEH Chairman
William D. Adams, “but in our homes, in our family and community histories, and the stories and objects we pass down to our children. These new NEH Common Heritage grant projects will help capture this vitally important
part of our country’s heritage and preserve it for future generations.”
NEH Common Heritage grants of up to $12,000 were awarded to 38 community cultural organizations in 21
states and the District of Columbia. The official press release can be accessed here:

Dear Mrs. Linda Rothstein:
Congratulations! Your application for a Common Heritage grant from the National Endowment
for the Humanities has been approved for funding. In the next few weeks, you will receive an
official notice of your award with instructions for accepting it from our Office of Grants
Management.
Common Heritage is a part of NEH’s Common Good initiative. We would therefore encourage
you to share news of your activities with NEH as well as with the public. We ask that, as soon as
possible, you send us information about the events that you are planning (including the event
title, dates, location, and short description). Having this information at an early date is important,
because we plan to publicize your project activities on the NEH website
(http://www.neh.gov/events/). Once you have finalized information about your event, it can be
sent to NEH via the Web at http://goo.gl/forms/jTqJYih5Nh.
We would also appreciate photographs of project activities once they are underway. By sending
photographs to NEH, you would grant the agency permission to use such photographs for any
lawful purpose, including publicity, illustration, and Web content. NEH will supply full credit to
your institution whenever possible. You may send photographs to NEH via email to
preservation@neh.gov.
Of course, we will also be interested in learning about the community participation in your
project. How did participants respond to the digitization events and public programs? Were there
any lasting benefits and, if so, in what way?
We encourage you to share news of your Common Heritage efforts with others through social
media, using the hashtag #NEHCommonHeritage. You can mention NEH directly in posts to
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.
The NEH has a communications toolkit available here with resources and guidance on publicizing
your project. NEH Communications and Congressional Affairs staff will offer a webinar on
Wednesday, December 9th and Thursday, December 10th for newly awarded grantees on best
practices for external and public outreach. The same webinar will be held three times over the
two day period for maximum convenience and availability. Please select one that fits with your
schedule best:
Wednesday 10am ET/7am PT register here;
Wednesday 1pm ET/10am PT register here;
Thursday 12pm ET/9am PT register here.
If you cannot make any of the offered times, please email nehwebinar@neh.gov for a recording.
Finally, we ask that you use the NEH 50th anniversary logo in any publicity or event signage.
Graphics can be found at http://www.neh.gov/brand-materials. Please consult the Terms and
Conditions document that will be included with the letter from the Office of Grants
Management for instructions on using the NEH logo.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your program officer. The
program officer assigned to your project is Leah Grohsgal, who can be reached by email to
lgrohsgal@neh.gov or by phone on 202-606-8577. We wish you the best of success with your

Project Title: Discovering Clearwater's Hidden Treasures
Project Description: As part of the city’s centennial celebration in 2016, the Clearwater Public Library in Florida would
hold digitization events at its five branches to capture residents’ historical documents, photographs, and artifacts.
Following the digitization events, each branch would host a lecture to reveal the items discovered, featuring local history
experts discussing the history of Clearwater and the branch’s neighborhood. Digitized materials would be made available
via the library’s Pinellas Memory Project website. As one of the earliest points of contact between the Old World and the
New, Clearwater’s history includes unsuccessful Spanish missions, railroad development, the sponge industry, and
beach tourism. Each of the five library branches represents a unique constituency, including: an area mainly frequented
by tourists with a small number of permanent residents; a planned community; a Spanish-speaking enclave; and one of
Florida's first suburban neighborhoods.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Award a purchase order to Agilent Technologies of Santa Clara, CA, in the amount of
$72,376.00 for the purchase of a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Public Utilities Laboratory seeks to replace its aging gas chromatograph / mass
spectrometer (GC/MS) with a more efficient and reliable GC/MS for organic analyses. The
Varian Saturn instrument being replaced was originally purchased July 2, 2003. The old
GC/MS (Asset ID 22294) is no longer serviceable for the tasks being performed due to limited
parts availability as Varian Company no longer exists. Additionally, software currently used to
operate the GC/MS instrument no longer meets the needs of the laboratory, which makes it
imperative to acquire replacement instrumentation that will satisfactorily meet the Public
Utilities Laboratory’s needs.
Currently, the Varian Saturn instrument is eligible for a trade-in promotion from which the City
will benefit. This promotion offers a twenty percent (20%) discount from the list price of the
new GC/MS, which translates into a savings of $18,094.00. In accordance with City Code of
Ordinances, Section 2.621, Council authorization is required for the trade-in of any item with a
market value of more than $5,000.
The GC/MS system’s extensive list of unique specifications is required of the laboratory in
order to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) requirements. As such, all
of the instruments must be certified. The unique specifications of the instruments render the
GC/MS instrument a sole source purchase. GC/MS’s specifications, computer software, and
data file format for the new instrument must be compatible with our existing equipment to
facilitate laboratory consistency, exchangeability, and integration.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
0327-96645-564000-535-000-0000 $72,376.00 FY 15/16
Sufficient funding is available in the Utility Renewal and Replacement Fund in the amount of
$72,376.00 from 0327-96645, Laboratory Upgrade and R and R, to fund the project cost.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Award two contracts (blanket purchase orders) to Evoqua Water Technologies (Evoqua), of
Pittsburgh, PA, in the amounts of $101,000.00 for Odophos and $67,000.00 for PRI-SC, for a
total of $168,000.00 for a one-year period, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Odophos and PRI-SC (hydrogen peroxide) are utilized at the Northeast Water Reclamation
Facility (WRF) for odor control as part of a Performance Based Contract with Siemens
Corporation. These chemicals are the basis of the measurement and verification assessment
of the success of the Siemens contract. Accordingly, Odophos and PRI -SC chemicals must be
utilized in order for the City to meet the requirements of the Performance Based Contract .
Small quantities of Odophos are also utilized at the Marshall Street WRF for odor control
purposes; however, Marshall Street WRF is not included in the Performance Based Contract.
The combined utilization of Odophos and PRI-SC to cost effectively remove odors from
wastewater is a patented process known as the PRI-SC Process. PRI-SC®, a proprietary
technology, was developed by USPeroxide and is patented under U.S. Patent No. 6,773,604
B2. Evoqua, in partnership with USPeroxide, is the sole provider of this technology and the
sole source manufacturer of Odophos and PRI-SC. The PRI-SC Process has provided
high-level odor control at our facilities for years.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
0421-01351-551000-535-000-0000 $111,540.98 FY 15/16
0421-01351-551000-535-000-0000 $ 56,459.02 FY 16/17
Sufficient funding is available in the Water and Sewer Utility Fund in the amount of
$111,540.98 from 0421-01351, WPC Operations, to fund the current fiscal year’s cost of the
contracts. Fiscal year 2017 funding of the remaining $56,459.02 will be included in the Water
and Sewer recommended operating budget from the Director.

people realize. I also believe it is my responsibility as a citizen to protect nature

BOARD QUESTIONNAIRE
1. What is your understanding of the board's duties and responsibilities?
It is my understanding that the board is convened pursuant to F.S. § 893.138(4) to hear complaints regarding the nuisances described in F.S. § 893.138(2) and (3).
The board has power to adopt rules; subpoena respondents, witnesses, evidence, records, or other material relevant to the proceedings. It wit also hear complaints
and conduct public hearings regarding such complaints. Finally, the board the board shall issue findings of fact based upon the evidence presented and make part ofthe record
that a public nuisance does not exist or that an unlawful public nuisance does exist.
2. Have you ever observed a board meeting either in person or on C -View, the City's TV station?
I have seen many board meetings on C -View.
3. What background and /or qualifications do you have that you feel would qualify you to serve on
this Board?
I have worked for several years in a quasi -legal capacity for the Florida Department of Veterans'
Affairs assisting with appeals hearings with the U.S. Board of Veterans Appeals. I understand the limitations ofevidence as well as testimony proceedings.
I am also a human resources analyst, bound by the strictest rules of confidentiality, already under oath to comply to
all applicable sections of Chapter 112, Part III, Florida Statutes, Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees. Both my personal
and professional experience make me uniquely suited to serve.
4. Why do you want to serve on this Board?
I live in a Clearwater neighborhood in which I often witness violations of F.S. § 893.138(2) and (3). I have done my best to be responsible about reporting these violations and feel that I might gain an even deeper
understanding of how to work legally to halt the issues I repeatedly see. It is my opinion that these types of crimes are perpetual, never to be eradicated. However, that does not mean
that our community should avoid the effort to halt them. I approve wholeheartedly of a focus on reforming "places" rather than repeatedly
punishing people. It seems a more logical effort. I'd be proud to be a part of that.

BOARD QUESTIONNAIRE
1. What is your understanding of the board's duties and responsibilities?
To gather and asses information that will help guide un compliant landlords to better manage
their properties in the Clearwater neighborhoods. To give them input on how to manage
and find tenants that are responsible for their actions. To asses which properties need help.
2. Have you ever observed a board meeting either in person or on C -View, the City's TV station?
Yes, on T.V
3. What background and /or qualifications do you have that you feel would qualify you to serve on
this Board?
I have a background in education and art so it is a perspective from seeing students
who struggle and how their home life affects them. I have lived in lower to middle income neighborhoods
and have personally had to navigate a uncaring landlord in my former home. It became a drug house.
I also see that as a community we need to reach out to help people who may feel it is out of their control.
4. Why do you want to serve on this Board?
I want to become more involved with community choices, to see that all people are considered and their unique situations.
I believe my input may be of value in that I know that all things may not be what they seem. I also believe
when we try to navigate people that they resist and can help with solutions that are positive and helpful
to everyone involved.

Agenda Number: 8.1
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and
initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 2161
Burnice Drive; and pass Ordinances 8811-16, 8812-16, and 8813-16 on first reading.
(ANX2015-11031)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 0.236 acres. The parcel
is occupied by a single-family dwelling and is located on the south side of Burnice Drive
approximately 450 feet west of South Belcher Road. The applicant is requesting annexation in
order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will be connected to city sewer as part
of the Belcher Area Sewer Expansion Project. The property is contiguous to existing city limits
to the west, north, and east. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use
Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and the zoning category of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is
consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E
as follows:
·The property currently receives water service from the County. Collection of solid
waste will be provided to the property by the City. The applicant will connect to the
City’s sanitary sewer service when it is available, and is aware of the sewer impact fee
that must be paid in full in order to connect and of the financial incentives available.
The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered
through the district headquarters located at 2851 McMullen Booth Road. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to the property by Station 49 located at
565 Sky Harbor Drive. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The property will continue to
receive water from Pinellas County. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse
effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
·The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and
policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ANX2015-11031
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact
urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through
application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation of
a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request.
·The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with
the current Countywide Plan designation of the property. The Residential Low (RL)
designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The
proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR). The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses
allowed in the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District and the property
exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation
is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan
and Community Development Code; and
·The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City limits to the west,
north, and east; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter
171.044.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and
initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1234
Carol Drive; and pass Ordinances 8814-16, 8815-16 and 8816-16 on first reading.
(ANX2015-11032)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a single parcel of land totaling 0.18 acres. The
parcel is occupied by a single-family dwelling and is located on the north side of Carol Drive,
approximately 150 feet west of Betty Lane. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to
receive solid waste service from the City. The property is contiguous to existing city limits to
the west. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of
Residential Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is
consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E
as follows:
·The property currently receives water and sewer service from the City. Collection of
solid waste will be provided to the property by the City of Clearwater. The property is
located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will
be provided to the property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City
has adequate capacity to serve the property with solid waste, police, fire and EMS
service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities
and their levels of service; and
·The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and
policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater,
compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted
through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the
annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning
Area.
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ANX2015-11032
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request.
·The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with
the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily
permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to
be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District.
The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the
District and the property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the
City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
·The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing city limits to the west;
therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Institutional (I) and initial
Zoning Atlas designation of Institutional (I) District for 2829 Sunset Point Road; and pass
Ordinances 8817-16, 8818-16 and 8819-16 on first reading. (ANX2015-11033)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves one vacant parcel of land totaling 0.814 acres,
located on the south side of Sunset Point Road approximately 250 feet west of CR-193. This
parcel is part of the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and it will be used for parking associated
with the funeral home and accessory facilities, including a personal care center and support
area. The parcel is contiguous to existing city limits to the west. It is proposed that the
property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Institutional (I) and a zoning
category of Institutional (I).
A petition for annexation was submitted in July 2015 (ANX2015-07020) to annex three parcels
of land, addressed as 2853 and 2859 Sunset Point Road and an unaddressed parcel located
on CR-193, also associated with the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park. The applicant currently has
an active building permit through Pinellas County for the renovation of the personal care
center and support area of the funeral home. Additional parking was required by the County
in order to accommodate the funeral home expansion, which made it necessary to annex this
parcel in addition to the previous three parcels. To ensure consistency during Building Code
inspections and to prevent any construction liability issues, the project will be built in its
entirety under Pinellas County jurisdiction. For that reason, second reading of both
annexation applications cannot occur until after the County issues a Certificate of Occupancy
(CO), which is anticipated to be in early 2016. The Planning and Development Department will
schedule the second and final reading after the applicant obtains the CO.
A funeral home is a retail sales and service use, which within the Institutional (I) District is only
permissible as an accessory use within the same building as another permissible use. City
staff prepared an amendment to the Community Development Code (CDC) (TA2015-08005)
proposing to allow funeral homes as permitted standalone uses in the Institutional (I) District,
which was passed on first reading by City Council on December 17, 2015. The second reading
for this amendment is scheduled for January 21, 2016. Should the amendment be approved
by the City, the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park would be a conforming use and the approved
site plan would meet the District’s minimum development standards.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is
consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E
as follows:
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: ANX2015-11033
·Water, sanitary sewer, and solid waste service is available from the City. However,
since this parcel will be used for parking, services will not be necessary at this time .
The applicant would be entitled to develop the parcel at a future time as an institutional
use; therefore, access to urban infrastructure (e.g., city water and sewer) might be
applicable in the future, but is not requested at this time. The property is located within
Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters
located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will
be provided to these properties by Station 48 located at 1700 North Belcher Road. The
City has adequate capacity to serve this property with police, fire and EMS service, as
well as water, sanitary sewer and solid waste service should they be requested in the
future. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and
their levels of service; and
·The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives of
the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater,
compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted
through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the
annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning
Area.
·The proposed Institutional (I) Future Land Use Map category in the City is consistent
with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation
primarily permits institutional uses at an intensity of 0.65 FAR. The proposed zoning
district to be assigned to the property is the Institutional (I) District. The use of the
subject property will be consistent with the uses allowed in the District upon the
approval of TA2015-08005, and the property will exceed the District’s minimum
dimensional requirements. This will make the proposed annexation consistent with the
Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development
Code; and
·The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City limits along the
west; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use,
Transportation, Coastal Management, Intergovernmental Coordination, and Capital
Improvements Elements goals, objectives and policies regarding numerous provisions,
including: repealing transportation concurrency and establishing a new Mobility Management
System; allowing for non-contiguous annexations; encouraging strategies to reduce flood risk
in coastal areas; and updating the Capital Improvements Revenue and Expenditures
Summaries, consistent with State Statutes; and pass Ordinance 8805-16 on first reading.
(CPA2015-04001)
SUMMARY:
This proposed ordinance contains numerous amendments to the goals, objectives and
policies of the Future Land Use, Transportation, Coastal Management, Intergovernmental
Coordination, and Capital Improvements Elements of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
The most substantial topic addressed is the proposed deletion of the transportation
concurrency requirement and the creation of a Mobility Management System based on the
Pinellas County Mobility Plan.
The proposed amendments address changes made to the Community Planning Act in 2011,
which amended 163.3180, Florida Statutes, by repealing certain state mandated concurrency
requirements, including transportation concurrency. To address this change in the state
statutes, the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) coordinated with the
various local governments to develop an alternative approach to transportation concurrency
which would also further the development of a countywide multi-modal transportation system
that could better accommodate travel options other than the personal automobile. This work
resulted in the Pinellas County Mobility Plan which was approved by the MPO in 2013. The
proposed amendments will ensure that the City’s Comprehensive Plan and concurrency
management system is consistent with the countywide approach to mobility management and
the Pinellas County Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance (TIFO), which is currently being
renamed to the Multi-Modal Impact Fee Ordinance as part of Pinellas County’s various
amendments. The County’s amendments are anticipated to be adopted on March 29, 2016,
and as such Ordinance 8805-16 will be amended on second reading to update the Pinellas
County ordinance number as the County does not assign ordinance numbers until after
adoption.
In addition to the above, staff is also proposing the following:
·Coastal Management Element: Add development and redevelopment strategies and
policies to help reduce the risk of flood for coastal properties;
·Capital Improvements Element: Reflect updated data for level of service standards;
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: CPA2015-04001
update the Capital Improvement Program Revenue Summary and the Capital
Improvement Program Expenditure Summary
·Future Land Use Element: Update outdated language; add new policy regarding
non-contiguous Type A Enclave annexations; and
·Minor formatting changes to bring consistency between all of the Elements.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed amendment at its meeting
on December 15, 2015 and unanimously recommended the amendment for approval.
As this is a text amendment to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, review and approval by
the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is required. As part of the state review, the
proposed amendments will be transmitted to the various State agencies and Pinellas County
for review prior to second reading (adoption) by City Council, which is anticipated to occur in
April.

` 2 Ordinance No. 8805-16
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it necessary, desirable and proper to adopt the
amendments to the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan in order to reflect
changing conditions; now, therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That Policy A.2.2.6 of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Element, page A-10, be amended to read as follows:
*****
A.2.2.6 The Community Development Code shall provide for safe on-site traffic circulation
and connections to adjacent arterial and collector streets consistent with Florida
Department of Transportation and, Institute of Traffic Engineers design guidelines,
and other applicable roadway design standards, policies, and guidelines.
*****
Section 2. That Goal A.4 of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Element, and its Objective and Policies, pages A-11 through A-12, be amended to read as
follows:
A.4 GOAL – THE CITY SHALL NOT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR UNLESS AN
ADEQUATE LEVEL OF SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE IMPACTS
OF DEVELOPMENT. AREAS IN WHICH THE IMPACT OF EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
EXCEEDS THE DESIRED LEVELS OF SERVICE WILL BE UPGRADED CONSISTENT
WITH THE TARGET DATES FOR INIFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED
IN THE APPLICABLE FUNCTIONAL PLAN ELEMENTWORK TOWARD A LAND USE
PATTERN THAT CAN BE SUPPORTED BY THE AVAILABLE COMMUNITY AND
PUBLIC FACILITIES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SERVE THE DEVELOPMENT.
A.4.1 Objective - The City shall examine and upgrade the Concurrency Management and
information system as appropriate for granting development permits. This system
shall continue to consider the current, interim, and ultimately desired Levels of
Service for roads, transit, water, sewer, garbage collection, and drainage systems and
shall provide data on sub-sectors of the City in which service deficiencies exist or in
which services are adequate to serve existing and planned new development. This
level of service status will be considered and made part of the staff recommendation
at the time of zoning, site plan, or plat approval. The level of service monitoring
system shall be adjusted, at a minimum, annually to determine adequacy of service
capacity. The City’s Concurrency Management System will ensure the compatibility
of all proposed development with the capacities of the existing and planned support
facilities for which a level of service has been adopted.
Should a requested development permit result in approvals which would burden
service systems above adopted levels, permission to proceed with the development
will not be granted until the City has assured that adequate services will be available
concurrent with the impacts of development.
Policies
A.4.1.1 No new development or redevelopment will be permitted which causes the level of
City services (roads, recreation and open space, water, sewage treatment,
garbage collection, and drainage) to fall below minimum acceptable levels.
However, development orders may be phased or otherwise modified consistent
` 3 Ordinance No. 8805-16
with provisions of the concurrency management system to allow services to be
upgraded concurrently with the impacts of development. The Concurrency
Management System shall ensure proposed development is in conformance with
existing and planned support facilities for which a level of service standard has
been adopted and that such facilities and services are available, at the adopted
level of service standards, concurrent with the impacts of development.
A.4.1.2 The City’s Concurrency Management System shall include, at minimum, level of
service standards for parkland, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, and
stormwater.
A.4.1.3 The City, when making decisions on requests to amend the Future Land Use Map
or the Zoning Atlas (other than decisions on appropriate locations for mixed-use or
transit oriented development), shall review the potential impact on the
transportation system by considering the following:
a. Ability of the surrounding existing and planned transportation network to meet
the mobility objectives of the Comprehensive Plan;
b. Capacity of the surrounding existing and planned transportation network to
accommodate any projected additional demand; and
c. Extent to which the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment or rezoning
furthers the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to improve mobility.
A.4.1.24 The City shall recognize the overriding Constitutional principle that private property
shall not be taken without due process of law and the payment of just
compensation, which principle is restated in Section 163.3194 (4) (a), Florida
Statutes.
Section 3. That Policy A.5.4.8 of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Element, page A-14, be amended to read as follows:
*****
A.5.4.8 Study the establishment of transportation concurrency alternatives Use the City’s
Mobility Management System, as established in the City’s Community
Development Code, to support higher densities along redevelopment corridors and
in activity centers.
*****
Section 4. That Policy A.7.1.2 of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Element, page A-24, be amended to read as follows:
*****
A.7.1.2 When evaluating and prioritizing areas to annex, consideration should be given to the
following:
*****
Whether property was given high priority in the City’s Sewer System Expansion
Feasibility Study Update completed in 2002 2011;
` 4 Ordinance No. 8805-16
*****
Section 5. That a new Policy A.7.2.4 of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Element, page A-25, be added, with subsequent Policies renumbered, and that Policy
A.7.2.6, as renumbered, be amended to fix a typographical error:
*****
A.7.2.4 Allow voluntary annexations for noncontiguous properties that are within an enclave
as defined by Section 171.032(13)(a), Florida Statutes (“Type A” enclaves).
A.7.2.45 Promote economic development programs and activities to businesses within the
unincorporated areas of the Clearwater Planning Area.
A.7.2.56 Continue to work with property owners and Pinellas County to permit development
activities in the County prior to the effective date of annexation provided the
proposed development complies with the provisions of the City of Clearwater
Development Code.
Section 6. That the Transportation Needs Summary section of the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element, page B-1, be amended to read as follows:
*****
Traffic Circulation & Mobility
Multi-modal transportation improvements to Clearwater Beach should continue to be
planned and/or utilized to alleviate traffic congestion and parking demands on the
Memorial Causeway and the beach.
Access management to improve traffic flow will continue to be an important issue in
development reviews, with particular emphasis on congested links.
The traffic concurrency system will continue to monitor vehicle trips on the roadway
system.
Belleair Road (CR462) and Clearwater Memorial Causeway (SR60) are physically
and/or environmentally constrained and will continue to operate below the
acceptable levels-of-service.
The City will continue to work with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Tampa Bay Area Regional
Transportation Authority (TBARTA), Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) and
other agencies to promote transportation alternatives and demand management.

*Stormwater management is reviewed on a permit-by-permit basis. The City only approves if a
proposed development meets the LOS standards for stormwater management facilities listed
above.
Stormwater LOS Standard: No adverse impacts to existing floodplain elevations and no
increase in stormwater flow rate leaving a site.
Notes:
1. The City of Clearwater Drainage Design Criteria was updated in September 2015 which
specifies the design storms for new development in the City.
Design Storm
10-year storm frequency for all new developments for street drainage, storm systems,
and culverts
25-year storm frequency for all new developments for channels and detention areas
with outfalls
50-year storm frequency for all new developments for detention areas without outfalls
100-year storm frequency for all new developments for detention areas without outfalls
which overflow onto private property when capacity is exceeded
Design standards for stormwater quality treatment/storage quantity shall conform to
the current SWFWMD requirement [Presently being the SCS Unit Hydrograph design
method, using the design storm frequency and a twenty-four (24) hour duration for
sites ten (10) acres or more, and the rational design method for sites under ten (10)
acres].
` 18 Ordinance No. 8805-16
2. Development plans are reviewed for stormwater on a permit-by-permit basis. The City only
approves a development if it meets the LOS standards per the City’s design criteria.
3. Major watersheds within the City Limits with Watershed Master Plans are Alligator Creek,
Allen’s Creek, and Stevenson Creek. The City also includes Coastal Zones 1-4 , the Beach
Zone and to a lesser extent, Curlew Creek, Possum Creek, Bishop Creek, and Mullet Creek.
4. In establishing Capital Improvement Projects for City projects, projects are determined
through the number of structures removed from the 100-year floodplain and improvements in
roadway level of service with consideration for regional needs and cost benefit.

The City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan includes several policies addressing concurrency management
in the Future Land Use, Transportation, Coastal Management, and Capital Improvements Elements. The
application of concurrency management requirements through the local site plan review process, including
the assessment of transportation impact fees, is the primary tool the City and other municipalities in Pinellas County use to manage the traffic impacts of development projects. Concurrency management requirements
are imposed to ensure that permits are not issued for a development project without the public facilities and
services necessary to handle its impacts being in place. Concurrency management rules also require local
governments to adopt level of service standards for public services and facilities that must be maintained as a
condition of development approval. The City has adopted levels of service for transportation, solid waste, sanitary sewer, stormwater, potable water, hurricane evacuation, and parks. Most impact fees are established
within the Code of Ordinances, but transportation impact fees are established by the Pinellas County Code
Chapter 150-40 (the Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance, or TIFO), and are applied countywide.
The 2011 Community Planning Act made substantial amendments to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, including repealing state mandated transportation concurrency. To address these changes, the Pinellas
County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) coordinated with the various local governments to
develop an alternative approach to transportation concurrency which would also further the development of a
countywide multi-modal transportation system that could better accommodate travel options other than the
personal automobile. The Pinellas County Mobility Plan was approved by the MPO in 2013, and model policies were adopted in 2014. The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved on
first reading amendments to their impact fee ordinance, changing the name to Multi-Modal Impact Fee
Ordinance and creating a Mobility Management System within its land development regulations, in October
2014. It is anticipated that the Pinellas County BOCC’s amendments will be adopted on March 29, 2016.
The City, along with municipalities throughout the County, is amending its Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations to remain consistent with the countywide approach to mobility management and the
TIFO.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
The Mobility Management System that is envisioned through the new policies within this amendment would
be a more flexible approach to manage the traffic impacts of development projects while increasing mobility
for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and motor vehicles. The Mobility Management System, which is
proposed to be established within the Community Development Code (see concurrent case TA2015-10006), will be a tiered development review approach requiring larger scale projects adding trips to the surrounding road network to implement transportation management strategies in-lieu of or as credit toward their impact
fee assessment. These strategies could include, but are not limited to, trail, sidewalk, bus stop and
intersection improvements or trip reduction programs such as carpooling or telecommuting. Smaller scale
projects with limited impact on the transportation system would only be required to pay an impact fee commensurate with the number of new trips they generate.
The main purpose of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments is to repeal transportation concurrency
and set up the policy framework necessary to establish a Mobility Management System, and to remove
references to transportation concurrency throughout the Comprehensive Plan. Other amendments are proposed to recognize the 2014 Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) between Pinellas County and municipalities, which allows voluntary annexation of non-contiguous parcels located in an enclave
surrounded by city property on all sides (“Type A” Enclaves). Additionally, the Coastal Management
Element is updated to address new statutory requirements by adding policies that encourage new
development to find solutions to help reduce the flood risk or flood losses and that require new development or redevelopment be consistent with or more stringent than Florida Building Code requirements. These policies add to existing policies addressing reduction of flood risk, as required by Chapter 163.
Lastly, the proposed amendments include updates to the Capital Improvements Element. Many changes are
minor, including updates to reflect the most recent studies and capital improvements programs established by the MPO, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and the City. The Schedule of Capital Improvements is being replaced to reflect the current five-year projections and updated Revenue Summary
and Program Expenditure tables for Fiscal Years 2015-2020.
ANALYSIS:
Substantial changes are being made to the Transportation Element, including the addition of policies
pertaining to the establishment of a Mobility Management System, and the removal of language pertaining to transportation concurrency. Amendments to the Future Land Use, Coastal Management, Intergovernmental
Coordination, and Capital Improvements Elements include removing obsolete language, updating language
to be consistent with the proposed Mobility Management System, and adding policies regarding
noncontiguous annexations and flood risk and loss prevention as previously stated. Formatting changes are
also being made to bring consistency among all of the elements.
The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are summarized below:
1. Future Land Use Element [pages 2-4 of ordinance]:
Simplifies the goal and objective for the Concurrency Management System; revises policies to remove transportation from concurrency requirements; updates the services for which levels of
service have been adopted; adds review criteria for Future Land Use Map and/or Zoning Atlas
amendments; and adds a policy to allow voluntary annexations of non-contiguous properties within
“Type A” Enclaves.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
2. Transportation Element [pages 4-10 of ordinance]:
Establishes the new Mobility Management System and related policies; adds a policy that includes
transportation analysis for planning purposes; revises Objective B.1.2 and its policies to provide
direction to use complete street policies when making improvements to the road network; removes references to transportation concurrency and replaces with references to the Mobility Management System; adds more policies regarding coordination with the MPO and FDOT; simplifies policies
related to coordination with PSTA to identify public transit improvements; and updates various terms
and plan years to most current editions.
3. Coastal Management Element [pages 10-11 of ordinance]: Removes reference to “traffic” as a required level of service objective and adds policies that aim to
reduce flood risk and flood losses.
4. Intergovernmental Coordination Element [page 11 of ordinance]: Removes level of service requirement for road improvements; and adds a policy addressing coordination with FDOT with regards to access on State facilities for new development projects.
5. Capital Improvements Element [pages 11-28 of ordinance]:
Removes the outdated Needs Summary; removes transportation from concurrency requirements and level of service requirements; adds reference to the Mobility Management System; updates the Schedule of Capital Improvements to the most recent five-year projections; updates the Revenue
Summary and the Program Expenditures tables to the most recent five-year projections; and updates
various terms and references.
STANDARDS FOR REVIEW:
Pursuant to Community Development Code Section 4-603.F., no amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
shall be approved unless it complies with the following standards:
1. The amendment will further implementation of the Comprehensive Plan consistent with the goals,
policies, and objectives contained in the plan.
The proposed amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan are consistent with the following
Objectives and Policy in the Plan:
Policy A.6.5.3 All proposed development/redevelopment initiatives shall be reviewed for opportunities to improve pedestrian and bicycle access and consider the integration of
bicycle and pedestrian transportation modes in all phases of transportation planning,
new roadway design, roadway construction, roadway resurfacing, and other capital
projects consistent with the City’s Shifting Gears Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
2006. On Clearwater Beach, pedestrian and bicycle improvements should adhere to the policies and design guidelines set forth in Beach by Design: A preliminary Design
for Clearwater Beach and Design Guidlelines.
Community Development Board – December 15, 2015
Revised for City Council – January 21, 2016 CPA2015-04001 – Page 4
Comprehensive Plan Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
Objective A.6.8 Identify those areas of the City that are appropriate for redevelopment as livable communities and require that specific sustainable elements to be used in the
redevelopment of these areas.
Objective H.3.1 The City shall continue to work with the PPC, the State, and the County in the orderly
annexation of the City’s existing enclaves. The Mobility Management System proposed within new Objective B.1.1 and its associated policies
looks to improve the transportation network for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and public
transit. Proposed Objective B.1.2 includes a policy that references Objective A.6.8, as well as other
policies that further Objective A.6.8 related to Complete Streets, sidewalks, and other livable community improvements. The addition of voluntary non-contiguous “Type A” annexations allows those properties in “Type A” enclaves to not have to wait until they become contiguous to City limits to annex into the
City. As such, the proposed amendments will further implementation of the Clearwater Comprehensive
Plan.
2. The amendment is not inconsistent with other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed amendments are not in conflict with other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and bring
further consistency between the goals, objectives, and policies and the map series. The proposed
amendment will add several new objectives and policies to the Comprehensive Plan, while also simplifying other sections of the Plan. Proposed Objective B.1.1 and related policies expand the ways the city is addressing the impacts of new development on its transportation system that increases mobility for
pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users as well as for motorists. The new Mobility Management System
objective and policies tie in with various Future Land Use Element policies, specifically the livable
communities objective and policies which are captured in Objective A.6.8. Several proposed amendments address intergovernmental coordination between the City and other entities such as the MPO and PSTA.
3. The available uses, if applicable, to which the property may be put are appropriate to the property
in question and compatible with existing and planned uses in the area.
This is not applicable to the proposed amendments as they do not relate to a specific property or
properties.
4. Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
The adequacy of available public facilities will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis as
development proposals are received. The proposed amendments repeal transportation concurrency,
however, new policies are being created that will maintain level of service as a planning tool that will be
used to evaluate potential development proposals at the time of site plan review. Therefore, this is not applicable as the proposed amendments do not relate to a specific property or properties.
5. The amendment will not adversely affect the natural environment.
This is not applicable to the proposed amendments. The amendments reflect updates to the state statutes and to recently approved local ordinances. Any proposed development will have to comply with
Community Development Board – December 15, 2015
Revised for City Council – January 21, 2016 CPA2015-04001 – Page 5
Comprehensive Plan Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
impervious surface ratio standards, tree preservation and landscaping requirements, and drainage and water quality requirements, which is evaluated at the time of site plan review.
6. The amendment will not adversely impact the use of property in the immediate area.
This is not applicable to the proposed amendments as they do not relate to a specific property or properties. Any impacts would be determined at the time of site plan review, and would need to be
mitigated before any development can proceed.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The purpose of this amendment is to update the Future Land Use, Transportation, Intergovernmental
Coordination, and Capital Improvements Elements to reflect changes to the state statutes; to establish an objective and policies for the Mobility Management System; and to recognize the 2014 Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement between the City, Pinellas County, and other municipalities, all of which have been
adopted since the last major update to the Comprehensive Plan in 2008. The proposed amendment is
consistent with and will further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan,
will not result in inappropriate or incompatible uses, will not adversely affect the natural environment or impact the use of property in the immediate area, and sufficient public facilities exist to implement the proposed amendment.
Based upon the above, the Planning and Development Department recommends APPROVAL of Ordinance
No. 8805-16 that amends the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. Prepared by Planning and Development Department Staff:

(TA2015-10006)
SUMMARY:
The 2011 Community Planning Act repealed certain concurrency requirements, including
transportation concurrency. To address this change in state statutes, the Pinellas County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) created the Pinellas County Mobility Plan, which
was endorsed by the MPO on September 11, 2013. Model code amendments were later
provided to municipalities to integrate into their local ordinances. The Pinellas County Board of
County Commissioners approved on first reading amendments to the County’s land
development regulations in October 2014, with the adoption of their amendments anticipated
to occur on March 29, 2016.
Substantial amendments are proposed within the Concurrency Management provisions of the
Community Development Code (Article 4, Division 9) to be consistent with the 2011 Act and
the County’s approach. Section 4-904, Proportionate Fair-Share Program is proposed to be
repealed and replaced with a newly created Mobility Management System intended to be more
flexible and focused on facilitating multi-modal transportation solutions. A new Section 4-905
is proposed to establish the multi-modal impact fee consistent with the County’s ordinance,
which was renamed from the transportation impact fee. This fee provides for a tiered project
review approach, where proposed projects that create a large number of new peak hour trips
will have to provide a traffic study and/or a transportation management plan, whereas smaller
scale projects that create fewer new peak hour trips will only have to pay the multi-modal
impact fee.
In addition to the above, staff is also proposing the following:
·Code of Ordinances, Appendix A: Change the name of Transportation Impact Fee to
Multi-modal Impact Fee and update the reference ordinance;
·Community Development Code Division 6: Revise review procedures relating to public
facility impacts for Zoning Atlas amendments consistent with the mobility management
system and change “City Commission” to “City Council” throughout ; and
·Community Development Code Article 8: Update definitions to reflect the proposed
Mobility Management System.

The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed text
amendment to the Code of Ordinances and the Community Development Code is consistent
with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report. The Community Development
Board (CDB) unanimously approved the proposed amendment at its regularly scheduled
meeting on December 15, 2015. Second reading of proposed Ordinance 8806-16 will need to
be delayed until after the county ordinance is adopted to incorporate the Pinellas County
ordinance number, as the County does not provide an ordinance number until adoption.

Section 7. That Article 4, Development Review and Other Procedures,
Section 4-904, Proportionate Fair Share Program, Community Development Code be
repealed and replaced to read as follows:
Section 4-904. - Proportionate Fair-Share Program.
A. Purpose and intent. The purpose of this section is to establish a method whereby
the impacts of development on transportation facilities can be mitigated by the
cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors, to be known as the
proportionate fair-share program, as required by and in a manner consistent with
F.S. § 163.3180(16).
B. Findings. The city council finds and determines that transportation capacity is a
commodity that has a value to both the public and private sectors and that the city
proportionate fair-share program:
1. Provides a method by which the impacts of development on transportation
facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and
private sectors;
2. Allows developers to proceed under certain conditions, notwithstanding the
failure of transportation concurrency, by contributing their proportionate fair
share of the cost of a transportation facility;
3. Contributes to the provision of adequate public facilities for future growth
and promotes a strong commitment to comprehensive facilities planning,
thereby reducing the potential for moratoria or unacceptable levels of
traffic congestion;
5 Ordinance No. 8806-16
4. Maximizes the use of public funds for adequate transportation facilities to
serve future growth, and may, in certain circumstances, allow the city to
expedite transportation improvements by supplementing funds currently
allocated for transportation improvements in the Capital Improvements
Element of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan;
5. Is consistent with F.S. § 163.3180(16), and supports the following policies
in the City's Comprehensive Plan:
Policies 7.3.1; 7.3.2; 7.4.1; 7.4.3; 8.1.1; 8.2.1; 8.3.1; 8.6.1; 8.6.2; 8.6.3; 9.2.1;
10.1.1; 10.3.1.
C. Applicability. The proportionate fair-share program shall apply to all developments
in the City of Clearwater, that have been notified of a lack of capacity to satisfy
transportation concurrency on a transportation facility in the city's concurrency
management system, including transportation facilities maintained by Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) or another jurisdiction that are relied upon
for concurrency determinations, pursuant to the requirements of Section 4-904.D.
The Proportionate Fair-Share Program does not apply to developments of
regional impact (DRIs) using proportionate fair-share under F.S. § 163.3180(12),
or to developments exempted from concurrency as provided in F.S. § 163.3180,
regarding exceptions and de minimis impacts.
D. General requirements.
1. An applicant may choose to satisfy the transportation concurrency
requirements of the city by making a proportionate fair-share contribution,
pursuant to the following requirements:
a. The proposed development is consistent with the comprehensive plan
and applicable land development regulations.
b. The five-year schedule of capital improvements in the city capital
improvement element includes a transportation improvement(s) that,
upon completion, will satisfy the requirements of the city transportation
concurrency management system. The provisions of Section 4-904.D.2
below may apply if a project or projects needed to satisfy concurrency
are not presently contained within the city's capital improvement
element or an adopted long-term schedule of capital improvements.
2. The city may choose to allow an applicant to satisfy transportation
concurrency through the proportionate fair-share program by contributing
to an improvement that, upon completion, will satisfy the requirements of
the city transportation concurrency management system, but is not
contained in the five-year schedule of capital improvements in the capital
improvement element or a long- term schedule of capital improvements for
an adopted long-term concurrency management system, where the
following apply:
a. The city adopts, by resolution or ordinance, a commitment to add the
improvement to the five-year schedule of capital improvements in the
6 Ordinance No. 8806-16
capital improvement element or long-term schedule of capital
improvements for an adopted long-term concurrency management
system no later than the next regularly scheduled update. To qualify for
consideration under this section, the proposed improvement must be
reviewed and determined to be financially feasible pursuant to F.S. §
163.3180(16)(b)1., consistent with the comprehensive plan, and in
compliance with the provisions of this section. Financial feasibility for
this section means that additional contributions, payments or funding
sources are reasonably anticipated during a period not to exceed ten
years to fully mitigate impacts on the transportation facilities.
b. If the funds allocated for the five-year schedule of capital
improvements in the city capital improvement element are insufficient
to fully fund construction of a transportation improvement required by
the concurrency management system, the city may still enter into a
binding proportionate fair-share agreement with the applicant
authorizing construction of that amount of development on which the
proportionate fair-share is calculated if the proportionate fair-share
amount in such agreement is sufficient to pay for one or more
improvements which will, in the opinion of the governmental entity or
entities maintaining the transportation facilities, significantly benefit the
impacted transportation system. The improvement or improvements
funded by the proportionate fair-share component must be adopted
into the five-year capital improvements schedule of the comprehensive
plan or the long-term schedule of capital improvements for an adopted
long-term concurrency management system at the next annual capital
improvement element update.
3. Any improvement project proposed to meet the developer's fair-share
obligation must meet design standards of the city for locally maintained
roadways and those of the Florida Department of Transportation for the
state highway system.
E. Intergovernmental coordination. Pursuant to policies in the intergovernmental
coordination element of the city comprehensive plan and applicable policies in the
regional plan, the city shall coordinate with affected jurisdictions, including the
Florida Department of Transportation, regarding mitigation to impacted facilities
not under the jurisdiction of the city receiving the application for proportionate fair-
share mitigation. An interlocal agreement may be established with other affected
jurisdictions for this purpose.
F. Application process.
1. Upon notification of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency
where the applicant is eligible to participate in the proportionate fair share
program, the applicant shall also be notified in writing of the opportunity to
satisfy transportation concurrency through the proportionate fair-share
program pursuant to the requirements of Section 4-904.D above.
2. Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair-share agreement,
a pre-application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility, application
7 Ordinance No. 8806-16
submittal requirements, potential mitigation options, and related issues. If
the impacted facility has cross jurisdictional impacts per Section 4-904.K
then the affected jurisdictions will be notified and invited to participate in
the pre-application meeting.
3. Eligible applicants shall submit an application to the city that includes an
application fee of $235.00 and the following:
a. Name, address and phone number of owner(s), developer and agent;
b. Property location, including parcel identification numbers;
c. Legal description and survey of property;
d. Project description, including type, intensity and amount of
development;
e. Phasing schedule, if applicable;
f. Description of requested proportionate fair-share mitigation method(s);
and
g. Copy of concurrency application.
4. The community development coordinator shall review the application and
certify that the application is complete and eligible within seven working
days of submission of the application. If an application is determined to be
incomplete or inconsistent with the general requirements of the
proportionate fair-share program as indicated in Section 4-904.D, then the
applicant will be notified in writing of the reasons for such deficiencies
within ten working days of submittal of the application. If such deficiencies
are not remedied by the applicant within 30 working days of receipt of the
written notification, then the application will be deemed withdrawn and no
further consideration shall be taken by the community development
coordinator.
5. Pursuant to F.S. § 163.3180(16)(e), proposed proportionate fair-share
mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the Strategic Intermodal
System (SIS) requires the concurrence of the Florida Department of
Transportation. The applicant shall submit evidence of an agreement
between the applicant and the Florida Department of Transportation for
inclusion in the proportionate fair-share agreement.
6. When an application is deemed complete and eligible, the applicant shall
be advised in writing and a proposed proportionate fair-share obligation
and binding agreement will be prepared by the city or the applicant with
direction from the city and delivered to the appropriate parties for review,
including a copy to all affected jurisdictions for any proposed proportionate
fair-share mitigation that has multi-jurisdictional impacts, no later than 60
working days from the date at which the applicant received the notification
of a complete and eligible application and no fewer than 14 working days
prior to the city council meeting when the agreement will be considered.
The city and applicant may mutually agree to extend the 60 working day
time frame for development of the agreement for the purpose of evaluating
information and/or collecting additional information to complete the
agreement
8 Ordinance No. 8806-16
7. The city shall notify the applicant regarding the date of the city council
meeting when the agreement will be considered for final approval. No
proportionate fair-share agreement will be effective until approved by the
city council. In instances where the proportionate fair-share obligation is
determined to be $100,000.00 or less, the community development
coordinator shall have the authority to approve, on the part of the city, any
agreement to satisfy that obligation.
G. Determining proportionate fair-share obligation.
1. The proportionate fair-share obligation shall be based on the impact a
development has on a transportation facility as determined by a traffic
impact analysis that assesses the distribution and volume of traffic
generated by the proposed development.
2. A facility shall be considered impacted when the net trips generated by the
proposed development meets or exceeds five percent of the facility's peak
hour capacity.
3. Should the impacted facility be operating at a level of service that meets
the locally adopted level of service standard, it would not be eligible for the
application of proportionate fair share provisions.
4. Should the impacted facility be operating at a substandard level of service
based on existing conditions or as a result of the impacts of a proposed
development, the facility would be identified as eligible for proportionate
fair share provisions and the applicant would be notified as such.
5. Proportionate fair-share mitigation for concurrency impacts may include,
without limitation, separately or collectively, private funds, contributions of
land, and construction and contribution of facilities.
6. A development shall not be required to pay more than its proportionate
fair-share. The fair market value of the proportionate fair-share mitigation
for the impacted facilities shall not differ regardless of the method of
mitigation.
7. The methodology used to calculate an applicant's proportionate fair-share
obligation shall be as provided for in F.S. § 163.3180(12), as follows:
a. The cumulative number of trips from the proposed development
expected to reach roadways during peak hours from the complete build
out of a stage or phase being approved, divided by the change in the
peak hour maximum service volume (MSV) of roadways resulting from
construction of an improvement necessary to maintain the adopted
level of service, multiplied by the construction cost, at the time of
developer payment, of the improvement necessary to maintain the
adopted Level of Service. or
b. Proportionate Fair-Share = σ[[(Development Trips;sub .....sub;) / (SV
Increase;sub
9 Ordinance No. 8806-16
8. For the purposes of determining proportionate fair-share obligations, the
city shall determine improvement costs based upon the actual cost of the
improvement as obtained from the Capital Improvement Element, the
Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Improvement Plan or
the Florida Department of Transportation Work Program. Where such
information is not available or outdated, improvement cost shall be
determined using one of the following methods:
a. An analysis by the city of costs by unit price that incorporates data
from recent projects and is updated annually. In order to accommodate
increases in construction material costs, project costs shall be adjusted
by the method specified in Section 4-904(M) or
b. The most recent issue of the Florida Department of Transportation's
Transportation Costs, as adjusted based upon the unit price (urban or
rural); locally available data from recent projects on acquisition,
drainage and utility costs; and significant changes in the cost of
materials due to unforeseeable events. Cost estimates for state road
improvements not included in the adopted Florida Department of
Transportation Work Program shall be determined using this method in
coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation District.
9. If the city has accepted an improvement project proposed by the applicant,
then the value of the improvement shall be determined using one of the
methods provided in this section.
10. If the city has accepted right-of-way dedication for the proportionate fair-
share payment, credit for the dedication of the non-site related right-of-way
shall be valued on the date of the dedication at 118 percent of the most
recent assessed value by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser or, at the
option of the applicant, by fair market value established by an independent
appraisal approved by the city and at no expense to the city. The applicant
shall supply a drawing and legal description of the land and a certificate of
title or title search of the land to the city at no expense to the city. If the
estimated value of the right-of-way dedication proposed by the applicant is
less than the city estimated total proportionate fair-share obligation for that
development, then the applicant must also pay the difference. Prior to
purchase or acquisition of any real estate or acceptance of donations of
real estate intended to be used for the proportionate fair-share, public or
private partners should contact the Florida Department of Transportation
for essential information about compliance with federal law and
regulations.
11. Where the comprehensive plan supports mixed-use, infill, redevelopment,
and expanding roadway capacity to serve this development is inconsistent
with community goals, the city may establish one or more multimodal
districts for the purpose of transportation concurrency. In the event that
such districts are established:
a. The boundaries of each district shall be described, and for each
district, standards shall be adopted for street connectivity and transit,
bicycle and pedestrian levels of service, consistent with Florida
10 Ordinance No. 8806-16
Department of Transportation Model Regulations and Plan
Amendments for Multimodal Transportation Districts.
b. For each district, the city shall adopt a five-year or long-term schedule
of capital and service improvements to achieve and maintain the
adopted levels of service. Any transit improvements to be included in
this schedule will be identified in consultation with the transit agency.
c. When a development is proposed in a district where the multimodal
level of service standards are not being met, the applicant may pay a
proportionate fair-share amount towards meeting the standards and
then proceed with the development.
12. At the discretion of the city, the development's overall trips may be
reduced by up to five percent, with a developer commitment to the
implementation of trip reduction measures, to include: an agreed-on set of
capital and/or operational contributions; record-keeping and annual
reporting by implementers of operational programs; and penalties for
failure to implement and maintain the measures for an agreed upon time
period. Appropriate capital and operational contributions towards trip
reduction may include, but are not limited to, vanpool vehicles, preferential
parking and other facilities for carpools and vanpools, covered and secure
bicycle storage, shower and change facilities available to bicycle
commuters, office work-stations available for use by teleworkers, and
support for and active promotion of rideshare matching programs.
H. Impact fee credit for proportionate fair-share mitigation.
1. Proportionate fair-share contributions shall be applied as a credit against
transportation impact fees to the extent that all or a portion of the
proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to address the same capital
infrastructure improvements contemplated by the county's impact fee
ordinance.
2. Transportation impact fee credits for the proportionate fair-share
contribution will be determined when the transportation impact fee
obligation is calculated for the proposed development. Transportation
impact fees owed by the applicant will be reduced per the proportionate
fair-share agreement as they become due per the Pinellas County
Countywide Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance. If the applicant's
proportionate fair-share obligation is less than the development's
anticipated transportation impact fee for the specific stage or phase of
development under review, then the applicant or its successor must pay
the remaining impact fee amount to the city pursuant to the requirements
of the county impact fee ordinance.
3. Major transportation impact fee-funded projects not identified within the
appropriate county transportation impact fee district nor created under
Section 4-904 D.2.a. nor Section 4-904 D.2.b. which can demonstrate a
significant benefit to the impacted transportation system may be eligible for
11 Ordinance No. 8806-16
impact fee credits in accordance with the provisions of the county
transportation impact fee ordinance.
4. The proportionate fair-share obligation is intended to mitigate the
transportation impacts of a proposed development at a specific location.
As a result, any transportation impact fee credit based upon proportionate
fair-share contributions for a proposed development cannot be transferred
to any other location unless provided for within the county impact fee
ordinance.
I. Proportionate fair-share agreement.
1. Upon execution of a proportionate fair-share agreement (agreement), and
upon meeting all other requirements of Section 4-903, the applicant shall
receive a certificate of concurrency. In the event that the certificate of
concurrency expires, the agreement shall be considered null and void, and
the applicant shall be required to reapply.
2. Payment of the proportionate fair-share contribution is due in full prior to
issuance of the development order or recording of the final plat and shall
be non-refundable. If the payment is submitted more than 12 months from
the date of execution of the agreement, then the proportionate fair-share
cost shall be recalculated at the time of payment based on the best
estimate of the construction cost of the required improvement at the time
of payment, pursuant to Section 4-904.G. and adjusted accordingly.
3. All developer improvements authorized under this section must be
completed prior to issuance of a building permit, or as otherwise
established in a binding agreement that is accompanied by a security
instrument that is sufficient to ensure the completion of all required
improvements. It is the intent of this section that any required
improvements be completed before issuance of building permits or
certificates of occupancy.
4. Dedication of necessary right-of-way for facility improvements pursuant to
a proportionate fair-share agreement must be completed prior to issuance
of the final development order or recording of the final plat.
5. Any requested change to a development project subsequent to a
development order may be subject to additional proportionate fair-share
contributions to the extent the change would generate additional traffic that
would require mitigation.
6. Applicants may submit a letter to withdraw from the proportionate fair-
share agreement at any time prior to the execution of the agreement. The
application fee and any associated advertising costs to the city will be non
refundable.
7. The city may enter into proportionate fair-share agreements for selected
corridor improvements to facilitate collaboration among multiple applicants
on improvements to a shared transportation facility.
12 Ordinance No. 8806-16
J. Appropriation of fair-share revenues.
1. Proportionate fair-share revenues shall be placed in the appropriate
project account for funding of scheduled improvements in the city capital
improvement element, or as otherwise established in the terms of the
proportionate fair-share agreement. At the discretion of the city,
proportionate fair-share revenues may be used for operational
improvements prior to construction of the capacity project from which the
proportionate fair-share revenues were derived. Proportionate fair-share
revenues may also be used as the 50 percent local match for funding
under the Florida Department of Transportation's Transportation Regional
Incentive Program (FDOT TRIP).
2. In the event a scheduled facility improvement is removed from the capital
improvement element, then the revenues collected for its construction may
be applied toward the construction of another improvement within that
same corridor or sector that would mitigate the impacts of development
pursuant to the requirements of Section 4-904.D.2.b.
3. Where an impacted regional facility has been designated as a regionally
significant transportation facility in an adopted regional transportation plan
as provided in F.S. § 339.155, and then the city may coordinate with other
impacted jurisdictions and agencies to apply proportionate fair-share
contributions and public contributions to seek funding for improving the
impacted regional facility under the Florida Department of Transportation's
Transportation Regional Incentive Program (FDOT TRIP). Such
coordination shall be ratified by the city through an interlocal agreement
that establishes a procedure for earmarking of the developer contributions
for this purpose.
4. Where an applicant constructs a transportation facility that exceeds the
applicant's proportionate fair-share obligation calculated under Section 4-
904.H, the city shall reimburse the applicant for the excess contribution
using one or more of the following methods:
a. An impact fee credit account may be established for the applicant in
the amount of the excess contribution, a portion or all of which may be
assigned and reassigned under the terms and conditions acceptable to
the city.
b. An account may be established for the applicant for the purpose of
reimbursing the applicant for the excess contribution with proportionate
fair-share payments from future applicants on the facility.
c. The city may compensate the applicant for the excess contribution
through payment or some combination of means acceptable to the city
and the applicant.
K. Cross jurisdictional impacts.
13 Ordinance No. 8806-16
1. In the interest of intergovernmental coordination and to reflect the shared
responsibilities for managing development and concurrency, the city may
enter an agreement with one or more adjacent local governments to
address cross jurisdictional impacts of development on cross jurisdictional
transportation facilities. The agreement shall provide for application of the
methodology in this section to address the cross jurisdictional
transportation impacts of development.
2. A development application submitted to the city subject to a transportation
concurrency determination meeting all of the following criteria shall be
subject to this section:
a. All or part of the proposed development is located within one-half mile
of the area which is under the jurisdiction, for transportation
concurrency, of an adjacent local government; and
b. If the additional traffic from the proposed development would use five
percent or more of the adopted peak hour level of service maximum
service volume of a cross jurisdictional transportation facility within the
concurrency jurisdiction of the adjacent local government (impacted
cross jurisdictional facility); and
c. The impacted cross jurisdictional facility is projected to be operating
below the level of service standard, adopted by the adjacent local
government, when the traffic from the proposed development is
included.
3. Upon identification of an impacted cross jurisdictional facility pursuant to
Section 4-904.K.2.a.—c. The city shall notify the applicant and the affected
adjacent local government in writing of the opportunity to derive an
additional proportionate fair-share contribution, based on the projected
impacts of the proposed development on the impacted adjacent facility.
4. The adjacent local government shall have up to 90 days in which to notify
the city of a proposed specific proportionate fair-share obligation, and the
intended use of the funds when received. The adjacent local government
must provide reasonable justification that both the amount of the payment
and its intended use comply with the requirements of F.S. § 163.3180(16).
Should the adjacent local government decline proportionate fair-share
mitigation under this section, then the provisions of this section would not
apply and the applicant would be subject only to the proportionate fair
share requirements of the city.
5. If the subject application is subsequently approved by the city, the
approval shall include a condition that the applicant provides, prior to the
issuance of any building permit covered by that application, evidence that
the proportionate fair-share obligation to the adjacent local government
has been satisfied. The city may place as a condition of approval that the
adjacent local government declare in a resolution, ordinance, or equivalent
document, its intent for the use of the concurrency funds to be paid by the
applicant.
14 Ordinance No. 8806-16
L. Proportionate Share Program for Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas
(TCEA's), Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA's) and
Multimodal Transportation Districts (MMTD's). Within the local TCMA's, MMTD's,
and/or TCEA's, the city may establish a proportionate fair-share assessment,
based on the expected costs and transportation benefits of all the programmed
improvements within that district, and based on the expected trip generation of the
proposed development.
M. Method for cost escalation. This section contains a method to estimate growth in
costs, through the computation of a three-year average of the actual cost growth
rates. This will provide a growth rate that should be smoothed to avoid
overcompensating for major fluctuations in costs that have occurred due to short-
term material shortages.
Costn = [(1 + t) × (Cost0)] × [1 + Cost growth3yr]n
Where:
Costn = The cost of the improvements in year n;
t = Contingency factor - Will only be applied to projects that have not been
adjusted for present day costs using a comparable contingency factor.
Cost0 = The cost of the improvement in the current year;
Cost growth3yr = The growth rate of costs over the last three years;
n = The number of years until the improvement is constructed.
The three-year growth rate is determined by the following formula:
Cost growth3yr = [Cost growth-1 + Cost growth-2 + Cost growth-3]/3
Where:
Cost growth3yr = The growth rate of costs over the last three years;
Cost growth-1 = The growth rate of costs in the previous year;
Cost growth-2 = The growth rate of costs two years prior;
Cost growth-3 = The growth rate of costs three years prior.
(Ord. No. 7718-06, § 2, 11-15-06)
Section 4-904. - Mobility Management System.
A. Purpose and intent. The purpose of this section is to provide a more flexible and
efficient alternative to the traditional form of transportation concurrency management,
which ties development approvals to maintaining adopted roadway level of service
standards, while facilitating multi-modal transportation solutions.
B. Applicability. The mobility management system shall apply to all developments in the
City of Clearwater, pursuant to the requirements of 4-904.C.
C. General requirements. All development projects within the City of Clearwater that
generate new peak hour trips are subject to the provisions of this section to address
their development impacts. Determination of trip generation associated with an
application for development shall be based on Schedule A or B in Section 150-40 of
Pinellas County Ordinance 16-xx or the latest edition of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual. As an alternative to the fee schedule and Trip
15 Ordinance No. 8806-16
Generation Manual, the applicant may submit a trip generation study in accordance
with Section 4-905.C.4.a. and b.
1. Deficient road corridors include parcels, all or a portion of which lie within a
corridor, and are defined as:
a. Sole direct access. A condition where the only means of site ingress/egress is
directly onto the road facility, regardless of the distance of that site from the
facility;
b. Direct access. A condition in which one or more existing or potential site
ingress/egress points makes a direct connection to the road facility and the
site is within one-half mile of the road facility; and
c. Sole indirect access. A condition where the only point of site ingress/egress is
onto a public non-arterial roadway which makes its first and shortest arterial
level connection onto a road facility regardless of the distance of that site from
the facility.
2. Deficient road corridors are listed within the Capital Improvements Element of the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
3. Development projects that generate less than 51 new peak hour trips are required
to pay a multi-modal impact fee in accordance with Section 4-905. They are not
required to submit a transportation management plan or study.
4. Tier 1 projects. Tier 1 projects are development projects that generate between
51 and 300 new peak hour trips.
a. Developers of Tier 1 projects located within deficient road corridors are
required to submit a transportation management plan designed to address
their impacts while increasing mobility and reducing the demand for single
occupant vehicle travel.
b. The cost of transportation management strategies implemented for Tier 1
projects are creditable toward their multi-modal impact fee assessment. If the
cost of the improvement exceeds the assessment, the development project
would not be subject to payment of the fee.
5. Tier 2 projects. Tier 2 projects are development projects that generate more than
300 new peak hour trips.
a. Developers of Tier 2 projects within deficient road corridors are required to
conduct a traffic study and submit an accompanying report. The report shall
include the results of the traffic study and a transportation management plan
identifying improvements necessary to mitigate the impacts of the project.
16 Ordinance No. 8806-16
b. The cost of transportation management strategies implemented for Tier 2
projects may be applied as credit toward the project’s multi-modal impact fee
assessment or payment of the fee could be included as part of a
transportation management plan.
6. Development projects that generate more than 50 new peak hour trips on non-
deficient road corridors shall be reviewed by the City to determine if the impacts of
the project adversely affect the level of service of the surrounding road network. If
it is determined that approval of the development project reduces the level of
service of the adjacent road(s) to peak hour level of service E or F or would cause
the volume-to-capacity ratio to reach or exceed 0.9, a transportation management
plan is required. The applicant may submit a traffic study to verify whether their
project would affect the level of service of adjacent road(s). A transportation
management plan is required if the results of the traffic study confirm the finding of
the City, and the transportation management plan for such developments shall
comply with the requirements of Tier 1 or Tier 2 projects, as described in Sections
4-904.C.2. and 3.
7. Transportation management plans. At the time of site plan review, the City shall
analyze the development impacts of a project. A transportation management plan
is required for development applications subject to sections 4-904C.3, 4, and 5,
utilizing transportation management strategies/improvements to address their
development impacts. The extent of the strategies/improvements included in an
approved transportation management plan in terms of the scale of the project(s)
and roadway capacity and/or mobility benefits provided shall be based primarily
on the project(s) impact on the surrounding traffic circulation system. Specific
conditions of the deficient road corridor impacted by the development shall also
be considered.
Transportation management plans must be developed by the applicant and
accepted by the City. If the project impacts a State road, the applicant shall also
submit the transportation management plan to the Florida Department of
Transportation District 7 Office. Transportation management plans seeking to
implement strategies that do not involve structural improvements, such as ride
sharing and transit incentive programs, must include a monitoring program to
ensure the strategies are carried out in accordance with the plan. Site-related
improvements are not eligible for inclusion in transportation management plans.
Transportation management plan strategies/improvements include, but are not
limited to, those listed below:
a. Intensity reduction. The intensity of the proposal may be reduced through an
across-the-board reduction of the permitted floor area ratio, as it would
otherwise normally apply to the proposal. Other such corrective actions that
would reduce the intensity of the proposal may also apply.
17 Ordinance No. 8806-16
b. Density reduction. The density of the proposal may be decreased by a
reduction in the number of units per acre below that which would otherwise
normally apply to the proposal.
c. Project phasing. A project may be divided into logical phases of development
by area, with later phases of the development proposal’s approval withheld
until the needed facilities are available.
d. Outparcel deletion. Those portions of the proposal characterized as
outparcels that create separate and unique impacts may be deleted from the
total proposal.
e. Physical highway improvements. A project may construct link capacity
improvements, acceleration/deceleration lanes, intersection improvements, or
frontage roads.
f. Operational improvements (signal). This includes efforts involving signal
removal or signal timing improvements.
g. Access management strategies. These include access management controls
such as the preclusion of a direct connection to a level of service deficient
facility, right-in/right-out driveways, alternative driveway locations, reduction of
a driveway, single point access, shared access, or the implementation of
median controls.
h. Mass transit initiatives. A project may implement a plan to encourage transit
(e.g., employer-issued bus passes). Other mass transit initiatives may
include, but are not limited to, the construction of bus stop amenities, bus pull-
off areas, and dedication of park and ride parking spaces.
i. Demand management/commuter assistance. These include efforts to
encourage ride-sharing (e.g., designated parking spaces for carpools,
employer-sponsored carpool programs, participation in transportation
management organization/initiative programs), and implementing flexible work
hour and telecommuting programs.
j. Bicycle/pedestrian improvements. These would involve structural
improvements or construction of a bikeway or sidewalk connecting an existing
bikeway/sidewalk network or providing access to a school, park, shopping
center, etc. These improvements may also include pedestrian treatments in
parking areas, sidewalks connecting developments with adjacent land uses,
trail improvements and bicycle rack and on-street bicycle lane installations,
and the planting of trees to provide shade canopy along sidewalks.
k. Intelligent transportation system improvements. This includes improvements
pertaining to computerized traffic signal systems that automatically adjust to
maximize traffic flow and to permit emergency vehicles to pass through
18 Ordinance No. 8806-16
intersections quickly. It also includes freeway management systems, such as
electronic message signs, and electronic fare payment on public buses that
reduce passenger boarding time.
l. Livable community site design features. These include, but are not limited to,
implementation of pedestrian friendly site design features such as orienting
buildings toward the street and parking lots to the side or rear of buildings.
Section 8. That Article 4, Development Review and Other Procedures,
Section 4-905, Reserved, of the Community Development Code be amended to read as
follows:
Section 4-905. – Reserved. Multi-modal impact fee.
A. Purpose and intent. The purpose of this section is to establish the required payment
of multi-modal impact fees, the computation of those fees, fee credits, disposition of
funds, refunding of fees, and exemptions of fees.
B. Fee required. The payment of a multi-modal impact fee shall be required in the
manner and amount set forth in this section.
1. Any person who seeks a certificate of occupancy for any land development
activity or seeks to change a use by applying for issuance of a building permit
which will generate additional traffic shall be required to pay a multi-modal impact
fee.
2. No certificate of occupancy or building permit requiring payment of a multi-modal
impact fee pursuant to section 4-905.C shall be issued unless and until the multi-
modal impact fee has been paid.
3. Any person who has submitted a site plan or building permit application in
accordance with land development codes prior to the adoption of Ord. No. 8806-
16 shall be subject to the terms of the ordinance that was in effect at the time the
site plan or building permit application was submitted.
C. Computation of amount. The amount of the multi-modal impact fees imposed under
this section will depend on a number of factors, including the type of land
development activity, and several fixed elements, such as the average cost to
construct one lane-mile of roadway ($2,216,466) and the average capacity of one
lane-mile of roadway (6,900 vehicles per day).
1. The following formula shall be used by the City to determine the impact fee per
unit of development:
TGR x %NT x TL x CST (RF)
CAP x 2
19 Ordinance No. 8806-16
WHERE:
TGR = Trip generation rate, as per fee schedule
%NT = percent new trips
TL = Average trip length, varies by land use
CST = The cost to construct one lane-mile of roadway ($2,216,466)
CAP = The capacity of one lane-mile of roadway (6,900 vehicles per lane, per
day)
2 = Allocation of one-half the impact to the origin and one-half to the
destination
RF = Reduction factor (0.268)
2. At the option of the feepayer, the amount of the multi-modal impact fee may be
determined by the Impact Fee Schedule A or B in Section 150-40 of Pinellas
County Ordinance 16-xx.
3. In the case of a new use, redevelopment, or modification of an existing use, the
impact fee shall be based upon the net increase in the impact fee for the new use
as compared to the impact fee for the highest previous use in existence on or
after the adoption of the ordinance from which this section derives. The City shall
be guided in this determination by the County’s transportation impact fee study
(February 1990), independent study trip generation data, or the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation, sixth (or successor) edition.
4. If a feepayer opts to not have the impact fee determined according to subsections
1 or 2 of this section, then the feepayer shall prepare and submit to the City for
approval of an independent fee calculation study for the land development activity
for which a certificate of occupancy or building permit is sought. The traffic
engineering and/or economic documentation submitted, which will require a pre-
application meeting with the City, shall show the basis upon which the
independent fee calculation was made, including, but not limited to the following:
a. Traffic engineering studies:
1. Documentation of trip generation rates appropriate for the proposed land
development activity.
2. Documentation of trip length appropriate for the proposed land
development activity.
3. Documentation of the cost per land mile for roadway construction for the
proposed land development activity.
b. Economic documentation studies:
1. Documentation of the cost per lane per mile for roadway construction for
the proposed land development activity.
20 Ordinance No. 8806-16
2. Documentation of credits attributable to the proposed land development
activity which the feepayer will make available to replace the portion of the
service volume used by the traffic generated by the proposed land
development activity.
5. Trip generation documentation other than traffic engineering or economic
documentation studies, as described in Section 4-905.C.4.a and b may be
submitted by the applicant in consideration of an independent fee calculation.
D. Payment of fees and credits. The person applying for the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy or building permit shall pay the multi-modal impact fee to the City prior to
the issuance of such permit. Fees for mobile homes shall be payable prior to
issuance of the permits which allow the mobile home to move on to a lot. Fees shall
be collected as part of the normal permitting process of the City. The City Manager or
his designee shall have full collection authority as well as full discretion for approval of
alternative methods for calculation of impact fees on a case-by-case basis. All funds
collected under this section shall be promptly transferred for deposit into the
appropriate impact fee trust account.
E. Fee credits. The following improvements to the transportation system may be eligible
for credit against the multi-modal impact fee or an impact fee adjustment or reduction.
Certain site related improvements or land dedicated for related right-of-way shall not
be given any credit towards the impact fee.
1. Construction of on-site trail, pedestrian, or bicycle facility if part of a trail, bicycle,
or pedestrian network identified in Metropolitan Planning Organization Long
Range Transportation Plan or the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan is eligible for
credit against impact fee assessment.
2. All transportation improvements required under a City approved development
order issued for a new development or a development of regional impact
approved prior to the adoption date of this ordinance shall be credited against
multi-modal impact fees up to the total amount of the impact fee. Those
improvements deemed as site-related or on-site, shall not be credited against the
multi-modal impact fee.
3. Mixed-use developments consisting of complementary land uses that are
designed with connectivity to allow for a reduction in trip lengths and/or percent
new trips are eligible for an impact fee rate adjustment based on trip generation
data for similar uses.
4. Commuter assistance programs with long-term contract(s) facilitating ride sharing
activity are eligible for an impact fee rate reduction based on the reduction in the
number of single-occupant vehicle trips that would otherwise be associated with
the project.
21 Ordinance No. 8806-16
5. Bus stop shelters, including pads, are eligible for a credit against the impact fee
assessment in an amount equal to the cost of the improvement or 1 percent of the
fee, whichever is greater.
6. Construction of shared driveway(s) between adjacent properties is eligible for a
credit against the impact fee assessment in the amount that is 50 percent of the
construction cost for the portion of the driveway that is located off-site.
7. Construction of shared inter-connecting parking lots is eligible for a credit against
the impact fee assessment in an amount that is 50 percent of the construction
cost for the portion of the parking area located off-site.
8. Sidewalks constructed for credit against impact fee assessments must provide
connection between the site and surrounding sidewalk network and/or major
destination point such as a park, shopping center, school, community center, etc.
9. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities connecting neighboring properties may be eligible
for credit against impact fees for the portion of the construction that is off-site.
10. Off-site crosswalk enhancements, including curb bulb-out at intersection,
pavement marking, or raised crossings are eligible for credit against impact fee
assessment.
11. The City Manager or his or her designee may accept an offer by the feepayer to
implement all or part of a transportation improvement project consistent with the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan or the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Long
Range Transportation Plan. The project(s) may be for any mode of transportation,
including rail, transit, pedestrian, or bicycle, providing that it serves to add to the
capacity of the surrounding transportation circulation system or to increase
mobility and reduce the dependence on automobile travel. This offer shall not
include site-related or on-site improvements. These transportation improvements
must be in accordance with City, County, or State requirements, whichever are
applicable. The feepayer shall provide the following to the City Manager or his
designee to determine consistency with City requirements:
a. Submit an offer to make improvements in lieu of a fee payment; and
b. A letter detailing the improvements to be made, improvement plans, and a
construction cost estimate in sufficient detail.
If the City Manager or his designee accepts such an offer, the cost of the
improvement project, except for the improvements identified in Sections 4-
905.E.5, 6, and 7, shall be credited against the multi-modal impact fee assessed
on the proposed development. Upon satisfactory completion and construction
approval of the transportation improvement made in lieu of all or a portion of the
impact fee due, the improvement shall be accepted by the City for future
maintenance. If the certificate of occupancy is requested prior to the completion
22 Ordinance No. 8806-16
of the approved project, then a performance bond shall be provided to the City
manager or his designee to cover the balance of all work required following
issuance of the certificate of occupancy.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2015
AGENDA ITEM: F. 2.
CASE: TA2015-10006
ORDINANCE NO.: 8806-16
REQUEST: Review and recommendation to the City Council, of an amendment to the Code of Ordinances renaming transportation impact fee to multi-modal
impact fee; and amending the Community Development Code to repeal and
replace proportionate fair-share with a mobility management system and
multi-modal impact fee, updating criteria accordingly, and updating
various references.
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
BACKGROUND: The 2011 Community Planning Act made substantial amendments to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, including
repealing state mandated transportation concurrency. In response to those changes, the Pinellas County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) coordinated with the various local governments to develop an
alternative approach to transportation concurrency. The result of this collaborative effort, the Pinellas County Mobility Plan, was endorsed by the MPO in 2013. Model code amendments were later provided to
municipalities to integrate into their local ordinances.
The City has adopted required levels of service for solid waste, sanitary sewer, stormwater, potable water,
hurricane evacuation, and parks. Transportation impact fees are established by the Pinellas County Code Chapter 150-40 (the Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance, or TIFO), and are applied countywide. Levels of
service are maintained through the application of the City’s concurrency management requirements, which are
imposed to ensure that permits are not issued for a development project without the public facilities and
services necessary to handle its impacts being in place. The proposed amendments described in this report are
associated with the proposed City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan amendments being processed concurrently with this case (see CPA2015-04001), which propose to repeal transportation concurrency and
establish the policy framework for a new Mobility Management System.
The purpose of the proposed Mobility Management System is to provide a tiered development review
approach requiring larger scale projects adding trips to the surrounding road network to implement transportation management strategies in-lieu of or as credit toward their impact fee assessment. The goal is to
increase mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, and public transit, while reducing the amount
of single-occupant vehicular trips.
Community Development Board – December 15, 2015
Revised for City Council – January 21, 2016 TA2015-10006 – Page 2
ANALYSIS: Ordinance No. 8806-16 proposes to repeal transportation concurrency requirements and the proportionate fair-
share program, as allowed under Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. A new Mobility Management System would
be established and a multi-modal impact fee would replace the transportation impact fee, consistent with the
amended Pinellas County Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance. The following is a brief analysis of each aspect of the proposed amendment.
1. Multi-Modal Impact Fee [pages 2, 18-23 of ordinance]
The proposed amendment updates the name of the fee from Transportation Impact Fee to Multi-Modal Impact Fee in several locations, including within the Code of Ordinances. It also establishes the multi-modal impact fee, fee credits, payment of fees, disposition of the funds, refund of fees, and
fee exemptions. This fee, which is part of the proposed Mobility Management System, replaces the
existing Proportionate Fair-Share program, and is consistent with the Pinellas County Transportation
Impact Fee Ordinance.
2. Repeal of Transportation Concurrency [pages 3 and 4 of ordinance]
The proposed amendment exempts roads from the list of facilities required to have a certificate of
concurrency/capacity.
3. Zoning Atlas Amendments [pages 2-3 of ordinance] Updates the term “commission” to “council” throughout the section, and changes the review criteria
for roadways from “traffic carrying capacities” to “traffic operations”.
4. Repeal of Proportionate Fair Share [pages 4-14 of ordinance] The proposed amendment repeals the requirement that a proportionate fair-share contribution must be paid. The Mobility Management System replaces the Proportionate Fair-Share program.
5. Mobility Management System [pages 14-18 of ordinance]
Establishes the Mobility Management System, which is the tiered development review process that requires larger scale projects adding trips to the surrounding road network to implement
transportation management strategies in-lieu of or as credit toward their multi-modal impact fee
assessment. Smaller scale projects which generate less than 51 new peak hour trips on deficient road
corridors will only be required to pay their multi-modal impact fee assessment; whereas projects that
generate a greater number of trips on deficient road corridors will be required to submit a transportation management plan (Tier 1 projects, 51 – 300 new p.m. peak hour trips) or submit a
traffic study with an accompanying report and transportation management plan (Tier 2 projects,
greater than 300 new p.m. peak hour trips). Development projects that are not on a deficient road
corridor that generate less than 50 new peak hour trips will only have to pay the multi-modal impact
fee; whereas projects that generate more than 50 new peak hour trips will be reviewed by City staff, and any significant impacts that are found will be required to follow the requirements of Tier 1 or
Tier 2 projects. The Mobility Management System also includes a variety of transportation
management plan strategies/improvements (pages 16 – 18 of ordinance) which, if implemented by the
developer, can be credited against their multi-modal impact fee assessment.
Community Development Board – December 15, 2015
Revised for City Council – January 21, 2016 TA2015-10006 – Page 3
6. Definitions [pages 23-25 of ordinance] New definitions are added to explain various terms utilized in the Mobility Management System
section of the Code and removes terms that deal with transportation concurrency.
CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS: Section 4-601, CDC, sets forth the procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments. All text
amendments must comply with the following:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan identified the following Objectives and Policies which
will be furthered by the proposed Code amendments:
Objective A.6.5 The City shall encourage improved land use compatibility through the evaluation of traffic calming techniques, multi-modal transportation networks, and the use of transit
oriented development planning.
Policy A.6.5.3 All proposed development/redevelopment initiatives shall be reviewed for opportunities
to improve pedestrian and bicycle access and consider the integration of bicycle and pedestrian transportation modes in all phases of transportation planning, new roadway design, roadway construction, roadway resurfacing and other capital projects consistent
with the City’s Shifting Gears Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 2006. On Clearwater
Beach, pedestrian and bicycle improvements should adhere to the policies and design
guidelines set forth in Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach
and Design Guidelines. Objective A.6.8 Identify those areas of the City that are appropriate for redevelopment as livable
communities and require that specific sustainable elements be used in the redevelopment
of these areas.
Policy A.6.8.9 Promote a variety of transportation modes such as walking, bicycling, ride sharing and mass transit to increase transportation choices and decrease dependence on the single-
occupancy automobile.
Objective B.1.5 The City shall specifically consider the existing and planned LOS the road network
affected by a proposed development, when considering an amendment to the land use
map, rezoning, subdivision plat, or site plan approval.
The proposed amendments are being processed concurrently with CPA2015-04001, and will bring more
consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Community Development Code. The change from
transportation concurrency to the proposed Mobility Management System will require developers to
better mitigate their potential transportation impacts by utilizing strategies that increase mobility for pedestrians, bicycles, and mass transit users and by utilizing livable communities techniques within
development proposals. As such, the above reference objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan
will be furthered.
Community Development Board – December 15, 2015
Revised for City Council – January 21, 2016 TA2015-10006 – Page 4
2. The proposed amendment furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code and other
City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan.
The proposed text amendment will further the purposes of the CDC in that it will be consistent with the
following purposes set forth in Section 1-103.
It is the purpose of this Development Code to implement the Comprehensive Plan of the city; to
promote the health, safety, general welfare and quality of life in the city; to guide the orderly growth
and development of the city; to establish rules of procedures for land development approvals; to
enhance the character of the city and the preservation of neighborhoods; and to enhance the quality of life of all residents and property owners of the city (Section 1-103.1., CDC).
Provide the most beneficial relationship between the uses of land and buildings and the circulation of
traffic throughout the city, with particular regard for safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian traffic
movement (Section 1-103.E.4., CDC).
The establishment of the Mobility Management System, which replaces transportation concurrency, will continue to ensure efficient vehicular movement while also requiring developers to better accommodate
pedestrian, bicycle, and mass transit users on the road network system. The proposed amendments will
also update references to current State Statute requirements. As such, the proposed amendment furthers
the purposes of the Community Development Code as well as the actions designed to implement the
Clearwater Comprehensive Plan.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendment to the Community Development Code is not inconsistent with and will further the
goals, objectives and policies of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of the Community Development Code. Based upon the above, the Planning and Development Department recommends
APPROVAL of Ordinance No. 8806-16 that amends the Code of Ordinances and the Community
Development Code.

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 17, 2015
AGENDA ITEM: F.7.
CASE: TA2015-08005
ORDINANCE NO.: 8810-16
REQUEST: Review and recommendation to the City Council, of an
amendment to the Community Development Code.
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
BACKGROUND:
The Planning and Development Department has regularly reviewed the Code as it applies to
certain proposed development. Staff has provided input toward improving the Code based on
how staff has experienced the Code’s application toward various circumstances. City staff
developed a list of existing Community Development Code (CDC) provisions that should be
amended in order to better reflect City development patterns, improve internal processes, and
improve consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Countywide Rules, and Florida Statutes.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Ordinance No. 8810-16 amends several sections of the CDC. The following is a brief
analysis of each aspect of the proposed amendment.
1. Funeral Homes [pages 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 16, 23 and 24 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment removes funeral homes from the definition of retail sales and
services and establishes it as its own use within the Commercial (C), Office (O) and
Institutional (I) Districts (the districts where funeral homes are presently established). The
establishment of funeral homes as its own standalone use is related to the criteria that
currently apply to it as a “retail” use precluding it from truly being an allowable use in the I
District. The criteria limit the use to “goods and services directly related to the physical
health and well-being of persons or animals” and being accessory to a use “otherwise
permitted and the retail sales and service use [occupying] no more than ten percent of the
gross floor area of the building.” Rather than amending the criteria and potentially impacting
numerous retail uses, staff proposes to establish the funeral homes use separately and provide
appropriate criteria for that use.
2. Medical Clinics [pages 4-7, 9, 12-17 and 24 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment does not introduce the medical clinic use to any districts that it is
not already permissible within, but instead facilitates the easier establishment of the medical
clinic use within those districts. Medical clinics will become a Minimum Standard
Development use in the C, O and I Districts, and additional flexibility will be provided in the
C, O and I Districts as Flexible Standard Development (FLS) uses. In addition to the above,
medical clinics will be added to footnote #1 in Table 2-702 for consistency with the
Community Development Board – November 17, 2015
TA2015-08005 – Page 2
Community Development Code Text Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
Countywide Plan Rules. This footnote requires that medical clinics shall not exceed ten acres
without a land use map amendment to Institutional.
3. Microbreweries [pages 3, 11, 12 and 24 of Ordinance]
Brewpubs and microbreweries were added to numerous districts as part of Ordinance No.
8654-15; however only brewpubs were added to the Downtown (D) District. The proposed
amendment establishes microbreweries in the D District as an FLS use.
4. Non-Residential Off-Street Parking [pages 3 and 8-10 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment removes the non-residential off-street parking use and its
corresponding footnote from the Tourist (T) District. The use is being removed as it is
redundant to the parking garages and lot use already permissible in the District.
5. Resort Attached Dwellings [pages 10 and 23 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment adds an additional criterion pertaining to height for the resort
attached dwellings use in the T District. The criterion clarifies that the height for the use
shall not exceed the height specified for residential uses based upon the Beach by Design
character district in which the use is to be located. Additionally, the amendment will modify
the definition of resort attached dwellings to further clarify that the use is a variation on the
attached dwelling use.
6. Institutional (I) District [pages 14-18 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendments to the I District concern several uses, but are limited to the
elimination of inconsistencies and errors in the development standards and flexibility criteria
for those uses.
7. Restaurant in Retail Plazas [page 5 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment will add a footnote in Table 2-702 to regulate how much square
footage a restaurant may occupy within a retail plaza before additional parking needs to be
provided. This regulation is consistent with the criteria for the same use in the FLS and
Flexible Development tiers.
8. Outdoor Cafés [pages 19-21 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment makes several changes to those provisions governing outdoor
cafés. First, the uses which may establish an outdoor café are expanded to include bars,
brewpubs, indoor recreation/entertainment, microbreweries, and nightclubs. Second, the
location and design requirements will be modified to provide greater clarity and to ensure
efficiencies in pedestrian movement. Included among these efficiencies is language that the
Community Development Coordinator may require a wider pedestrian path than otherwise
required, and/or that the pedestrian path be delineated through the use of self-supporting
fencing, landscape planters, or other such devices and methods as presented to and approved
by the city.
9. Parking/Landscape Code [pages 21-22 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment corrects a statement of applicability in both the landscaping
(Section 3-1202) and parking (Section 3-1401) standards. Both sets of standards refer to
requirements “contained within this section” when they should refer to requirements
“contained within the division.”

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
10. Off-Street Loading [page 22 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment clarifies that the exception for the provision of off-street loading in
the Tourist (T) District is only for those T District properties located on Clearwater Beach.
11. Development Review Committee [page 22 of Ordinance]
The proposed amendment clarifies that the responsibility of the Development Review
Committee (DRC) is not to make a recommendation with regard to applications for
development, but instead to provide technical support to applicants and to determine if
applications are legally sufficient.
12. Definitions [page 23-25 of Ordinance]
Beer garden – establishes a definition for what constitutes a beer garden.
Brewpubs – modifies the definition for consistency with State Statutes.
Light assembly – replaces the existing definition in its entirety with a definition that is
consistent with the definition of Manufacturing – Light as per the newly adopted
Countywide Rules.
Manufacturing – replaces the existing definition in its entirety with a definition that is
consistent with the definition of Manufacturing – Medium as per the newly adopted
Countywide Rules.
Medical clinic – modifies the definition to provide greater clarity and specificity.
Microbreweries – modifies the definition to allow for the inclusion of beer gardens as an
accessory use.
Print shops – establishes a definition for what constitutes a print shop.
Research and technology – replaces the existing definition in its entirety with a definition
that is consistent with the definition of Research/Development – Light as per the newly
adopted Countywide Rules.
Retail sales and services – modifies the definition for what constitutes retail sales and
services use to remove funeral homes and to add print shops.
Vehicle service – modifies the definition for what constitutes a vehicle service use to
include the installation of tires.
CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS:
CDC Section 4-601 sets forth the procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments. All
text amendments must comply with the following:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A review of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan identified the following Goals, Objectives
and Policies which will be furthered by the proposed Code amendments:
Goal A.6 The City of Clearwater shall utilize innovative and flexible planning and
engineering practices, and urban design standards in order to protect
historic resources, ensure neighborhood preservation, redevelop blighted
areas, and encourage infill development.
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.

Community Development Code Text Amendment PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION
The proposed amendments are intended to make various clarifications or corrections to the
Community Development Code, as well as modifications for consistency with the
Countywide Rules and State Statutes. However, the proposed amendments will also further
the functionality of our development approval process for several uses. As such, the above
referenced Goal and Objective of the Comprehensive Plan will be furthered.
2. The proposed amendment furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code
and other City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan.
The proposed text amendment will further the purposes of the CDC in that it will be
consistent with the following purposes set forth in CDC Section 1-103:
Section 1-103.A. It is the purpose of this Development Code to implement the
Comprehensive Plan of the city; to promote the health, safety,
general welfare and quality of life in the city; to guide the orderly
growth and development of the city; to establish rules of procedure
for land development approvals; to enhance the character of the
city and the preservation of neighborhoods; and to enhance the
quality of life of all residents and property owners of the city.
Section 1-103.E.3. Protect and conserve the value of land throughout the city and the
value of buildings and improvements upon the land, and minimize
the conflicts among the uses of land and buildings.
Section 1-103.E.9. Establish permitted uses corresponding with the purpose and
character of the respective zoning districts and limit uses within
each district to those uses specifically authorized.
The amendments proposed by this ordinance will further the above referenced purposes by
implementing the aforementioned Goal and Objective of the Comprehensive Plan; by
establishing a new permissible use (funeral homes); by facilitating the easier establishment of the
medical clinic use; and by improving the regulations outdoor cafés, and off-street loading.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Pass Ordinance 8825-16 on second reading, annexing certain real property whose post office
address is 1807 Skyland Drive, Clearwater, FL 33759 into the corporate limits of the city and
redefining the boundary lines of the city to include said addition. (ANX2015-04011)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.185-acre property consisting of one newly
constructed single-family home. It is located on the east side of Skyland Drive, approximately
80 feet north of Morningside Drive. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive
sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City. The property is located within an
enclave and is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the north, south, east and west. It is
proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential
Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The need for sanitary sewer service was prompted by the applicant’s proposal to construct a
single-family home. Due to timing issues, the applicant wanted to construct the single-family
home while located in the County. The site plan approved by the County meets the Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District’s Flexible Standard Development provisions of
the Clearwater Community Development Code. Due to the nature of the construction, Pinellas
County required the applicant to connect into the City’s sanitary sewer system prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). To ensure consistency during Building Code
inspections and to prevent any construction liability issues, this project was built in its entirety
under Pinellas County jurisdiction. For that reason, the second reading of the annexation
could not occur until after the County issued the CO, which was received by the City on
December 8, 2015. The first reading for this case was held on June 18, 2015 with the
corresponding Ordinance numbers 8722-15, 8723-15 and 8724-15. Because second reading
will take place in 2016, new ordinance numbers have been assigned and a third reading
(adoption) will be conducted at the February 4, 2016 meeting.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is
consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E
as follows:
Water service is provided by Pinellas County. The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the
adjacent Skyland Drive right-of-way. The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and
assessment fees prior to connecting to City sewer. Collection of solid waste will be provided
by the City of Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be
administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road.
Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to the property by Station 48 located at
1700 North Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with sanitary
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: 8825-16
sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an
adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and policy
of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater,
compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted
through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the
annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning
Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the
current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits
residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to
the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The proposed use of the
subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds
the District’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore
consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community
Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries along the
north, south, east and west of the property boundary; therefore, the annexation is consistent
with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Agenda Number: 9.21
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Pass Ordinance 8826-16 on second reading, amending the future land use plan element of
the Comprehensive Plan of the city to designate the land use for certain real property whose
post office address is 1807 Skyland Drive, Clearwater, FL 33759, upon annexation into the
City of Clearwater, as Residential Low (RL). (ANX2015-04011)
SUMMARY:
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.185-acre property consisting of one newly
constructed single-family home. It is located on the east side of Skyland Drive, approximately
80 feet north of Morningside Drive. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive
sanitary sewer and solid waste service from the City. The property is located within an
enclave and is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the north, south, east and west. It is
proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential
Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The need for sanitary sewer service was prompted by the applicant’s proposal to construct a
single-family home. Due to timing issues, the applicant wanted to construct the single-family
home while located in the county. The site plan approved by the County meets the Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District’s Flexible Standard Development provisions of
the Clearwater Community Development Code. Due to the nature of the construction, Pinellas
County required the applicant to connect into the City’s sanitary sewer system prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). To ensure consistency during Building Code
inspections and to prevent any construction liability issues, this project was built in its entirety
under Pinellas County jurisdiction. For that reason, the second reading of the annexation
could not occur until after the County issued the CO, which was received by the City on
December 8, 2015. The first reading for this case was held on June 18, 2015 with the
corresponding Ordinance numbers 8722-15, 8723-15 and 8724-15. Because second reading
will take place in 2016, new ordinance numbers have been assigned and a third reading
(adoption) will be conducted at the February 4, 2016 meeting.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is
consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E
as follows:
Water service is provided by Pinellas County. The closest sanitary sewer line is located
in the adjacent Skyland Drive right-of-way. The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and
assessment fees prior to connecting to city sewer. Collection of solid waste will be provided by
the City of Clearwater. The property is located within Police District III and service will be
administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road.
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 1/21/2016
File Number: 8826-16
Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to the property by Station 48 located at
1700 North Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with sanitary
sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an
adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and
policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater,
compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted
through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the
annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning
Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with
the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily
permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to
be assigned to the property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District.
The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the
District and the property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the
City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing city boundaries along the
north, south, east and west of the property boundary; therefore, the annexation is consistent
with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Establish the City's intent to surface the streets in the Harbor Oaks platted subdivision
with bricks, provide for the funding of such improvements through the imposition of
special assessments, direct the Engineering Department to advertise the project for
bid, and adopt Resolution 16-02.
SUMMARY:
On September 3, 2015, a Brick Street Policy was adopted by the Council that included the
petitioning procedures required of a neighborhood that wished to have brick street surfacing
installed instead of asphalt. The Harbor Oaks Subdivision made a request in accordance with
the policy and subsequent petitions have indicated more that 65-percent of the property
owners in the neighborhood show positive interest in the streets being bricked.
The streets involved include Druid Road West and the portions of Bay Avenue, Druid Road
South, South Fort Harrison Avenue, Jasmine Way, Jeffords Street, Lotus Path and Magnolia
Drive within the Harbor Oaks Subdivision.
This resolution declares the City’s intent to have such work performed and authorizes the City
Engineer to advertise for bid for the construction.
The additional cost of the brick installation including new brick, sand, curbs, bedding, leveling
material, labor and equipment, less the cost for the installation of two-inches of asphalt, will be
borne by the property owner’s adjacent streets in the Harbor Oaks Subdivision to be paid in
accordance with Code of Ordinances Chapter 27 - Special Assessments. The assessment
shall be made based upon the square footage of paved street adjacent each property and are
to be paid within thirty days. If not paid within this time frame, a Certificate of Indebtedness
shall be issued and recorded and the property owner shall have a period of not more than ten
years to pay the assessment plus interest. All costs will be paid by special assessment with
no costs to be apportioned to be paid by other funds of the City.
The estimated total project cost is $1,900,000.

FLORIDA:
SECTION 1.FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and
declared that:
(A)The City of Clearwater (the "City") is currently improving City utility
infrastructure in and around Jeffords Street and has recently advertised a project for bid
to improve City utility infrastructure in and around Magnolia Drive, namely in the historic
Harbor Oaks platted subdivision.
(B)In relation to the construction projects referenced above, the Harbor Oaks
Homeowner’s Association requested the City to surface streets with bricks, not asphalt,
in the historic Harbor Oaks subdivision as recorded in Plat Book 03, Page 65 of the
Pfficial Records of Pinellas County and outlined in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
(C)In accordance with the City Council Brick Street Policy (“Policy”) adopted
September 3, 2015, and attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, the Engineering Department
conducted a poll which included a non-binding estimate to all property owners of the
historic Harbor Oaks subdivision, of which the responses met the fulfillment threshold
outlined in the Policy as being in favor of brick streets and the establishment of a
preliminary assessment roll.
(D)In light of the favorable poll results, the City Council of the City (the "City
Council") intends to proceed with construction of the capital improvements associated
with brick surfacing of the streets in the Harbor Oaks subdivision (the "Improvements").
(E)It is in the best interests of the City and the real property specially
benefitted by the Improvements to fund the costs associated therewith through the levy
2 Resolution No. 16-02
of special assessments, sometimes referred to as non-ad valorem assessments (the
"Assessments").
(F)The City is empowered by Chapter 27 of the Clearwater Code of
Ordinances (the "Assessment Ordinance") to plan, acquire and construct the
Improvements and to impose, levy and collect the Assessments to pay costs associated
therewith.
SECTION 2.INTENT. The City Council hereby declares its intent to
perform the work of surfacing streets with bricks in the Harbor Oaks subdivision.
SECTION 3.SCOPE AND NATURE OF IMPROVEMENTS. The scope
of the Improvements shall include, but not be limited to, new brick surfacing for streets
and roads, sand, curbs, bedding, leveling material, labor and equipment, less the cost
for installation of a two inch thick asphalt surface.
SECTION 4.PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE. The preliminary cost
estimate for completion of the Improvements is $1,900,000 which includes engineering,
design and overhead costs; contractual costs; direct city labor and material construction
costs; general city administrative costs as a fixed percentage of the other total costs;
materials and construction costs; costs associated with developing and collecting the
Assessments, and other necessary or incidental expenses.
SECTION 5.ASSESSMENTS. The City Council hereby expresses its
intent that all costs associated with the Improvements shall be funded by Assessments
levied upon on all lots and lands adjoining and contiguous or bounding and abutting
upon the Improvements or specially benefited thereby. A depiction of the real property
subject to the Assessments is included in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. No funds of the
City of Clearwater shall be apportioned to pay the costs of the Improvements.
SECTION 6.APPORTIONMENT.Assessments will be imposed
upon each tax parcel adjacent to or abutting the Improvements. The Assessment for
each parcel shall be calculated based upon the square footage of the paved street
adjacent to each parcel. Such system of apportionment fairly and reasonably allocates
the costs and benefits of the Improvements among real property specially benefitted
thereby.
SECTION 7.DURATION AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS. At
the conclusion of the public hearing contemplated by Section 27.05 of the Assessment
Ordinance, owners of tax parcels subject to the Assessments shall have the opportunity
to pay the Assessment in full and thereby avoid annual interest and collection costs.

Assessment Ordinance.
SECTION 9.ADDITIONAL ACTIONS. City staff is hereby authorized and
directed to take such additional actions as may be required by the Assessment
Ordinance in order to levy and collect the Assessments, including but not limited to
preparing a preliminary assessment roll.
SECTION 10.EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall take effect

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
BRICK STREETS
The purpose of this policy is to provide a means by which residents that currently own property on
an asphalt street or deteriorated existing brick street can obtain a brick street without unduly
burdening the city’s limited street repair funds. The intent of the policy is to define who bears the
cost for the brick street surface upgrade.
The City is responsible for the maintenance of streets to insure vehicular and pedestrian safety,
and improve and maintain ride-ability. The typical practice for road resurfacing is an asphalt
overlay on an existing asphalt road. The Engineering Department has a budget for the
maintenance of such roads. The life span of an asphalt road is approximately 10 - 15 years. The
life span of a properly installed brick street is estimated to be 40 - 50 years.
Property owners residing within an easily delineated neighborhood within the city may
request the City to resurface their street(s) with brick. The petitioning process and the cost-
sharing principles for such action are described herein.
For the purpose of this policy, two categories for street bricking have been identified. The
assessment to contiguous property owners will be determined based upon the category that fits the
proposed street. The two categories are:
A. Existing Brick Street
This category includes all existing brick streets. On many of these streets the condition of
the road base underlying the brick surface has deteriorated. Historically, the original brick
roads were built upon existing sandy soil that has allowed the brick to shift and settle over
time, creating an undesirable road surface.
To achieve a satisfactory road surface, the existing bricks must be removed and a proper
road base installed. Since some loss of bricks occurs during the removal and reclamation
process, there will not be a sufficient quantity of bricks remaining to be immediately
replaced in the roadbed.
Property owners on these streets may request the City to remove the existing bricks and
replace them with new clay street bricks by requesting the City to petition all property
owners on the street(s). The clay bricks removed will be reclaimed by the city and stored
for future use in other areas of the city. In this case, an assessment will not be levied on
the property owners because of the pre-existence of clay bricks.
B. Existing Asphalt Street
Residents may request the City to replace an existing asphalt street with new street bricks by
requesting the City to petition all property owners on the street(s).
The cost for the bricking project will be calculated and will include the costs of new street
bricks, sand, curbs, bedding, leveling material, labor and equipment; less the cost for
installation of a two inch thick asphalt surface.
EXHIBIT “B”
The net cost will be assessed to each property owner based on the linear footage of property
frontage or other basis consistent with Chapter 27 Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Chapter
170 Florida Statutes or other applicable laws.
The following procedure will be used by property owners and the City in upgrading existing asphalt
streets in a residential or commercial area:
A. Property owners may request the City to replace the existing street surface with new clay
street bricks by requesting the City to petition all property owners on the street(s). For
existing brick streets the petition results must show positive interest of a majority
(51%) of property owners owning property on the street (or neighborhood) to be bricked. For
existing asphalt streets the petition results must show positive interest of 65% of property
owners owning property on the street (or neighborhood) to be bricked. The City
petition process will be conducted so that 100% of the property owners
on the proposed street(s) have been informed of the petition and the potential impact it
may have on their property. A good faith attempt will be made to notify all property
owners of the petition, i.e. registered letter or certified mail. Petitions not returned to the City
within 30 days of receipt will be considered as a negative response.
The petition will include the following information and statements (see sample in Appendix
A):
1. Identification of the area to include street names and lots or properties within the area.
The proposed street must be at least one block long, i.e. intersection to intersection.
2. A statement indicating that the individual signing a petition recognizes that there
may be a cost increase borne by them through a special assessment program, if the
petition is approved by the City of Clearwater. A preliminary non-binding cost
estimate for each property will be included with the petition form.
3. Signatures of individuals or entities owning property within the designated area.
Signatures of persons or entities renting or leasing property will not be considered.
B. The Engineering Department will review the request to identify issues that may relate
to public safety, health and welfare. The Department will either recommend approval
with conditions as necessary or reject the request if it is deemed invalid or not
suitable due to public health, safety or welfare reasons.
C. For existing asphalt streets, if the 65% approval threshold is met the City will proceed with
final design and obtain actual bid prices for the work. If the actual bid price is greater than
10% more than the preliminary estimate the City will conduct a second petition process to
confirm that there is still a 65% approval to start the assessment process (see sample in
Appendix B).
D. Implementation of the special assessment will comply with Chapter 27 Clearwater Code of
Ordinances, Chapter 170, Florida Statutes, or other applicable provisions of law. The City
will coordinate the installation of new street bricks and curbing with the imposition and
levy of the special assessments.
E. Upon approval of the special assessment by the City Council, the Engineering Department
will hold a coordination meeting between the appropriate City staff and the property
owners in order to establish installation schedules and procedures.
It is the responsibility of City staff to prioritize requests when multiple requests for petitions have
been submitted. The Engineering staff first will determine when the street is anticipated to be
scheduled for resurfacing based on the latest Pavement Condition Survey. Priority will be given to
those requests for roads that have the lowest Pavement Condition Index. Additionally, streets
with scheduled underground utility projects which would necessitate complete resurfacing would be
prioritized based on the scheduled date of the utility project.
All street bricking requests will be subject to the availability of interim funding. In the situation
where there are more requests than funds available, the proposed requests will be delayed
until sufficient funds are available.
The following brick types are acceptable for this policy:
New Clay Brick Pavers:
8"L x 4"W x 2 3/4" min. H heavy vehicular clay paving brick,
meeting ASTM C 1272, Type F as manufactured by Pine Hill
Brick or equal as determined by the Engineering Department.
Color will be determined jointly with city staff and the area
property owners from an approved City color palette.
The developer of a new subdivision may elect to install brick streets. However, installation costs in
new subdivisions are required to be paid by the developer at the time of installation and will not be
assessed to the individual lots. The developer is required to follow City of Clearwater Engineering
Standards for brick road installation.

SUMMARY:
At the August 17, 2015 meeting, the City Council determined that it is highly desirable and
socially responsible to provide assistance for the preservation of local history and provide
access to such to the citizens and visitors of Clearwater.
The Clearwater Historical Society has obtained access to the South Ward Elementary School
through a lease agreement with the Pinellas County School District, in order to make this
property habitable and operational for use as a historical museum and cultural center.
The overall goal of this facility is to provide for the collection, education, interpretation,
maintenance and preservation related to historical objects and paraphernalia related to the
history of the City of Clearwater and the greater Clearwater area.
Funds amounting $12,000 will be granted for three years to equate to a total not to exceed
$36,000 to the Society at the start of each city fiscal year (October 1 - September 30), with the
first payment to occur in February 2016, the second payment to occur in October 2017, and
the final payment to occur in October 2018.
The funds granted by the City are to be used for the operation, maintenance, and purchase of
capital items dedicated to the renovation, rehabilitation, and operation of the South Ward
Elementary School property.
All expenditures made using city grant funds must be expended during the city fiscal year in
which they were received. Qualifying expenditures must be approved by a city official prior to
contracting or payment. A report of qualifying expenditures must be provided within thirty days
of the end of each city fiscal year, or by October 30, whichever comes first.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in cost code 010-09100-581000-511, Payment to Agencies, to fund this
agreement.
