8.1 Approve a Substantial Amendment to the City of Clearwater's Fiscal Year 2016/2017 -
Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Four-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) and Fiscal
Year 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan to implement the goals and objectives set forth in
the Plan, as required by HUD, and authorize the City to enter into agreements with
organizations approved for funding. (consent)
The City of Clearwater's federal Annual Action Plan details the funding strategy
for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnerships (HOME) programs each year. The Annual Action Plan
implements a jurisdiction's multi-year Consolidated Plan and is developed
through significant citizen participation, analysis, and planning.
The City's Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) describes the efforts that the City
will take to encourage the community to participate in plan development. It
Page 5
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2016
also describes the process for amending the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual
Action Plan when necessary. The following changes require a substantial
amendment to the plan and must be publicly noticed as described in the CPP:
1. There is a reallocation/reprogramming of funds equaling more than 50
percent in the aggregate of the City's combined CDBG and HOME
allocations to an activity(s) previously described in the Consolidated
Plan and/or Annual Action Plan(s).
2. There is a reallocation/reprogramming of funds equaling more than 25
percent in the aggregate of the City's annual CDBG and HOME
entitlement for that program year.
3. A decision is made to carry out an activity not previously described in
the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan(s), including program
income.
4. The purpose, scope, location(s) or beneficiaries of an activity are
substantially changed. An activity will be considered substantially
changed when any of the following criteria applies:
a. The activity will no longer principally benefit the targeted population
as identified in the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan(s).
b. The activity will no longer address the low- and moderate-income
needs identified in the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action
Plan(s) or the activity ceases to address the qualifying National
Objectives as per 24 CFR Part 570.208.
c. The activity location changes so that the completed activity will
principally serve beneficiaries other than those originally intended.
d. The scope of the activity has increased to the point where its
completion would result in the inability to carry out another approved
activity, or would require reducing the scope of another activity to a
point where it would not accomplish its intended purpose.
The City is proposing to amend the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan
to account for the following funding:
• Adjustment of CDBG and HOME program income generated and
anticipated to be generated, through loan payments or payoffs;
• Adjustment of CDBG and HOME carryover of prior-year grant
resources resulting from projects that did not materialize;
• Adjustment of the 2016/2017 HOME grant formula allocation from
$283,808 anticipated to $285,328 actual; and
• Closeout and conversion of NSP-3 program income to funding available
for CDBG-eligible activities.
The total amount to be reallocated/reprogrammed is $3,280,112. The
proposed amendment will reallocate/reprogram funding as found in Exhibit A.
Page 6

City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2016
All other activities and funding not listed above will be unaffected by the
proposed amendment.

8.2 Approve the annexation of 606 South Bayview Avenue and an unaddressed parcel on
South Bayview Avenue located approximately 220 feet south of Gulf to Bay
Boulevard; and pass Ordinance 8957-16 on first reading. (ANX2016-08028)
This voluntary annexation petition involves two parcels of land totaling 1.18
acres. The property addressed as 606 South Bayview Avenue is occupied by
a single family home, and the unaddressed parcel is vacant. The parcels are
located generally south of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, west of the Bayside Bridge,
north of Old Tampa Bay, and east of Thornton Road. The applicant is
requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste, water, and sanitary
sewer service from the City upon the site's redevelopment. The properties are
contiguous to existing city limits along at least one property boundary.
The applicant has also submitted applications to change the properties' Future
Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL), Residential Urban (RU)
and Residential Low Medium (RLM) to Institutional (1) (LUP2016-08007) and to
rezone the properties to the Institutional (1) District (REZ2016-08004) 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 properties by the City. The properties are 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 these properties by
Station 49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive. The City has adequate
capacity to serve these properties 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
Page 7

• 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

Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for
single-family residential properties upon request.
• The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing city
limits along at least one property boundary. Therefore, the annexation
is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to approve the annexation of 606
South Bayview Avenue and an unaddressed parcel on South
Bayview Avenue located approximately 220 feet south of Gulf to
Bay Boulevard. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
Ordinance 8957-16 was presented and read by title only.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to pass Ordinance 8957-16 on
first reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the
vote was:
Ayes: 4 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Jonson, Councilmember Cundiff and
Councilmember Hamilton
8.3 Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the Commercial General (CG),
Residential Low (RL), Residential Urban (RU), and Residential Low Medium (RLM)
categories to the Institutional (1) category for 520 and 606 South Bayview Avenue and
two unaddressed parcels on South Bayview Avenue; and pass Ordinance 8958-16 on
first reading. (LUP2016-08007)
This Future Land Use Map amendment involves four parcels of land totaling
2.62 acres on the west side of South Bayview Avenue generally located south
of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, east of Thornton Road, north of Old Tampa Bay, and
west of the Bayside Bridge. The parcels are owned by Our Lady of Divine
Providence House of Prayer Foundation, Inc. The parcel addressed as 606
South Bayview Avenue is currently occupied by a single family home, and the
remaining parcels are vacant. The applicant is requesting to amend the
properties' Future Land Use Map designations of Commercial General (CG),
Page 8
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2016
Residential Low (RL), Residential Urban (RU), and Residential Low Medium
(RLM) to Institutional (1). The applicant currently operates a religious retreat to
the south and southeast, and this amendment would allow the applicant to
expand their campus with additional facilities. The applicant has submitted
petitions for annexation for two parcels (ANX2016-08028) and a Zoning Atlas
amendment (REZ2016-08004) which are being processed concurrently with
this case.
The proposed Institutional (1) 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 (1)
District to nonresidential or residential equivalent uses. The proposed
Institutional (1) future land use category recognizes the historical use of Our
Lady of Divine Providence's religious retreat, allowing it to be expanded while
maintaining the character and scale of development presently found along
South Bayview Avenue.
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 Forward Pinellas, in its role as 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
and other state agencies is not required.
The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed this application at its October
18, 2016 public hearing and unanimously recommended approval.
One individual questioned the zoning and requested that he receive a public
hearing notice.
Planning and Development Director Michael Delk said the current zoning for
the site is Institutional. The City Attorney said the semi-public zoning was a
category used at one point but the site in question has been zoned Institutional
for a long time.
Page 9
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2016
Brian Aungst, Jr., Applicant representative, said the item before Council is a
land use change request to Institutional. The request will make the land use
zoning consistent with the existing campus, which is zoned Institutional. The
request changes the category on the comprehensive map and does not
approve any additional development on the parcel. Mr. Aungst said there will
be flexible development applications coming forward through the CDB as
Level 2 approvals. The notice sign was posted on the property as required by
city code.
The City Attorney said the City Clerk has confirmed that the individual who
spoke tonight was outside the required 200-ft. notice area (where the rezoning
is taking place). The City Clerk will add the individual to future hearing notices.
Vice Mayor Jonson moved to approve a Future Land Use Map
Amendment from the Commercial General (CG), Residential Low
(RL), Residential Urban (RU), and Residential Low Medium (RLM)
categories to the Institutional (1) category for 520 and 606 South
Bayview Avenue and two unaddressed parcels on South Bayview
Avenue. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8958-16 was presented and read by title only.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to pass Ordinance 8959-16 on first
reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote
was:
Ayes: 4 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Jonson, Councilmember Cundiff and
Councilmember Hamilton
8.4 Approve a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the R-4, One, Two and Three Family
Residential (Pinellas County), Commercial (C), Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR), and Mobile Home Park (MHP) Districts to the Institutional (1) District for 520
and 606 South Bayview Avenue and two unaddressed parcels on South Bayview
Avenue; and pass Ordinance 8959-16 on first reading. (REZ2016-08004)
This Zoning Atlas amendment involves four parcels of land totaling 2.62 acres
on the west side of South Bayview Avenue generally located south of Gulf to
Bay Boulevard, east of Thornton Road, north of Old Tampa Bay, and west of
the Bayside Bridge. The parcels are owned by Our Lady of Divine Providence
House of Prayer Foundation, Inc. The parcel addressed as 606 South Bayview
Avenue is currently occupied by a single family home, and the remaining
parcels are vacant. The applicant is requesting to rezone the properties from
the R-4, One, Two and Three Family Residential (Pinellas County),
Page 10
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2016
Commercial (C), Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), and Mobile Home
Park (MHP) Districts to the Institutional (1) District. The applicant currently
operated a religious retreat to the south and southeast, and this amendment
would allow the applicant to expand their campus with additional facilities. The
applicant has submitted petitions for annexation for two parcels
(ANX2016-08028) and a Future Land Use Map amendment (LUP2016-08007)
which are being processed concurrently with this case.
The proposed Institutional (1) District will allow the site to be redeveloped with
institutional uses, including a religious retreat. The Institutional (1) zoning
district is consistent with the surrounding zoning districts that exist in the
vicinity of the subject property. This amendment would allow the properties to
be redeveloped and serve as part of the current Our Lady of Divine Providence
campus that is located to the south and southeast of the amendment area.
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 (1) 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 Institutional (1) 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 October
18, 2016 public hearing and unanimously recommended approval.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to approve a Zoning Atlas
Amendment from the R-4, One, Two and Three Family Residential
(Pinellas County), Commercial (C), Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR), and Mobile Home Park (MHP) Districts to the Institutional
(1) District for 520 and 606 South Bayview Avenue and two
unaddressed parcels on South Bayview Avenue. The motion was
duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8959-16 was presented and read by title only. Vice
Mayor Jonson moved to pass Ordinance 8959-16 on first reading.
The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:

8.5 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 1411 Lemon Street, together with the abutting right-of-way of Lemon
Street; and pass Ordinances 8962-16, 8963-16 and 8964-16 on first reading.
(ANX2016-09030)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.156-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single family home. The parcel is located on
the south side of Lemon Street approximately 1,150 feet west of Highland
Avenue. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive sanitary
sewer and solid waste service from the City. The Development Review
Committee is proposing that the 0.096-acres of abutting Lemon Street
right-of-way not currently within the city limits also be annexed. The property is
located within an enclave and is contiguous to existing city limits to the west
and south. 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 service from the City. The closest
sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent Lemon Street right-of-way.
The applicant has paid the City's sewer impact and assessment fees
and is aware of the additional costs to extend City sewer service to this
property. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by
the City. 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 this
property by Station 47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road. The City has
adequate capacity to serve this 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.

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 Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The 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 and south. Therefore, the annexation is consistent
with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to 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 1411 Lemon Street, together with the abutting
right-of-way of Lemon Street. The motion was duly seconded and

(ANX2016-09031)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.442-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single family home. The parcel is located on
the south side of Merrill Avenue approximately 1,015 feet west of McMullen
Booth Road. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid
waste service from the City and will be connected to the city sanitary sewer as
part of the Kapok Terrace Sanitary Sewer System Extension Project. The
property is contiguous to existing city limits to the north and west. The
Development Review Committee is proposing that 0.115-acres of abutting
Merrill Avenue right-of-way not currently within the city limits also be annexed.
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 service from the City. Collection
of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The applicant
has paid the required sanitary sewer impact fee in full, and will be
connected to the City's sanitary sewer system when it is made
available. 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 this property by Station 49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive.
The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary

This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.200-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single family home. The parcel is located on
the east side of Owen Drive approximately 630 feet north of SR 590. The
applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from

city limits to the east. It is proposed that the property be assigned Future Land
Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL) and Drainage Feature Overlay
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 service from Pinellas County.
Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City.
The closest sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent Owen Drive
right-of-way, and the owner is aware of the additional costs to extend
City sewer service to this property. The applicant has chosen not to
connect to sanitary sewer at this time and is aware of the associated
monthly fee. 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 this property by Station 48 located at 1700 Belcher
Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. Water service
will continue to be provided by Pinellas County. The proposed

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 Drainage Feature Overlay proposed to
be applied to the property will recognize the existing drainage easement

9.2 Award the Water Taxi Services Contract to Clearwater Ferry Services, Inc. for the
term of two years, commencing December 1, 2016, in the amount of$439,820.04,
based on their qualification as the most responsible bidder in response to Request for
Proposals (RFP) 35-16, to operate a water taxi service throughout Clearwater,
connecting the City's Downtown Harbor Marina, Clearwater Beach Marina, and the
Clearwater Beach Recreation Center Loading Dock, and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same.
RFP 35-16 was released on May 10, 2016 to evaluate the potential for a
scheduled water taxi service in Clearwater providing an alternative form of
transportation between Downtown Clearwater, Clearwater Beach Marina and
the Beach Recreation Center on North Clearwater Beach. A two-year contract
term was presented in RFP 35-16. The bid period ended 10:00 AM EST on
June 2, 2016. One proposal submitted by Clearwater Ferry Services, Inc., was
received in response to RFP 35-16. They currently operate a private water taxi
service within Clearwater's waterways. A review team consisting of the
Director of Finance, the Director of Economic Development, the Assistant
Director of Economic Development, the Director of Planning and Development,
and the Director of the Marine and Aviation Department reviewed the proposal
using the rating criteria provided in the RFP. The review was conducted on
June 17, 2016. An in-person interview of the business owners was held on
June 28, 2016. It was determined that the RFP would be awarded to
Clearwater Ferry Services Inc.
The evaluation criteria included demonstrated experience, resources, project
approach, scheduling, ridership fees and requested city support.

Advisory Services Panel Report to have a water taxi service. Funds in the
amount of$250,000.00 are anticipated to be requested in a separate agenda
item for improving the waiting/queuing locations for passengers, enhanced
ADA compliant docks, landings and ramps as well as properly sited shelters
from the elements for passengers waiting for water taxis and other alternative
transportation available as needed in times of inclement weather.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A first quarter budget amendment will provide a transfer of$439,820.04 from
General Fund reserves to special program 181-98604, 2016 Clearwater Ferry,
to fund this contract.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS:
Funding for this contract will be provided by a first quarter budget amendment
allocating General Fund reserves in the amount of$439,820.04 to special
program 181-98604, 2016 Clearwater Ferry. Inclusive of this item if approved,
a net total of$2,166,820 of General Fund reserves has been appropriated by
Council to fund expenditures in the 2016/17 operating budget. The remaining
balance in General Fund reserves is approximately $27.4 million, or 20.8% of
the current General Fund operating budget.
In response to questions, Marine and Aviation Director Bill Morris said the
reports being submitted by the Ferry include the revenue breakdown model
they have chosen to use. The City Attorney said there is nothing in the contract
that would restrict the ability to implement a master plan in Coachman Park, to
include some of the Harborview Parking.
Brian Aungst, Jr., Clearwater Ferry representative, thanked Council and staff
for issuing the RFP for water taxi services. The Bay Ferry is receiving a $1
million-subsidy for a six-month trial and the City of Clearwater is providing less
than a $500,000-subsidy for a 2-year trial. The Ferry projects the service will
remove 160,000+ individuals from the Causeway and allow them to provide
alternative transportation to the beach community.
Five individuals spoke in support.
Discussion ensued with support expressed for the proposal submitted by
Clearwater Ferry. Comments were made that beach employers and
employees should support the endeavor by utilizing the service.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to award the Water Taxi Services
Contract to Clearwater Ferry Services, Inc. for the term of two
years, commencing December 1, 2016, in the amount of
Page 23

$439,820.04, based on their qualification as the most responsible
bidder in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) 35-16, to
operate a water taxi service throughout Clearwater, connecting the
City's Downtown Harbor Marina, Clearwater Beach Marina, and the
Clearwater Beach Recreation Center Loading Dock, and authorize
the appropriate officials to execute same. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
9.3 Approve the 2017 State Legislative Priorities.
Each year, the City submits a list of legislative priorities for consideration by the
state legislature during their annual 60-day session in Tallahassee. The City's
legislative liaison works closely with city management staff and the City's
lobbying team in Tallahassee to draft a package that is beneficial to
Clearwater. Preparation of the package involves determining areas of need,
researching funding availability, identifying needed legislation, monitoring and
evaluating current legislative issues.
The 2017 State Legislative Package includes supporting: continued funding for
programs that benefit municipalities statewide such as Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program (FRDAP), State Aid to Libraries and housing
trust funds under the Sadowski Act; PSTA's Florida Department of
Transportation's grant request for an Express Transit service from Tampa
International Airport to Clearwater Beach and repealing the state preemption of
vacation rental property laws to allow local governments to regulate such
properties to protect the health and welfare of their residents, visitor and
businesses.
The City, along with the Florida League of Cities, continues to oppose
unfunded mandates and intrusions to municipal home rule authority.
In response to questions, the City Clerk said staff is not recommending
including a request in 2017 for the Clearwater Construction Site (Causeway
Trailhead) because the site has not been surplused and the state agency has
informed staff that the site will not be surplused until the trailhead design has
been approved. Parks and Recreation staff believe the design will be
approved next year. The City Clerk said she will continue working with staff
and will engage Sen. Latvala's office if city action is required prior to 2018.
Vice Mayor Jonson moved to approve the 2017 State Legislative
Priorities. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
