Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) to provide enhanced Jolley Trolley service during
the Spring Break period of February 24 through April 30, 2017, with the City
contributing a lump sum not to exceed $50,000, and authorize the appropriate officials
to execute same.
In order to provide additional alternatives for traveling to Clearwater Beach
during the 2017 Spring Break season, the City, PSTA and the Clearwater
Regional Chamber of Commerce propose utilizing the Coachman Park parking
lots as Park and Ride lot for the a 66-day period commencing February 24,
2017 through April 30, 2017. Users would have the option of taking the
Clearwater Ferry Taxi Service or the Jolley Trolley to and from the beach,
instead of driving.
PSTA currently has an agreement with the Jolley Trolley to operate the
Clearwater Beach Route, and intends to engage with the Jolley Trolley for this
expanded service. The proposed agreement sets forth the City’s commitment
Page 5 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2017
to contribute a lump sum not to exceed $50,000 towards PSTA’s enhanced
financial obligations under PSTA’s agreement with the Jolley Trolley to provide
the Clearwater Beach Route during the Spring Break season.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A first quarter budget amendment will increase cost code 435-01333-581000,
Payment to Agencies, by $50,000 to fund this contract. This increase will be
funded with available Parking Fund operating revenues.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A
In response to questions, Deputy City Manager Jill Silverboard said the
City's contract for trolley services is with the PSTA, but it does not
preclude the efforts staff is making to ensure the Park and Ride
program for Spring Break includes the ferry service. Public
Communications Director Joelle Castelli has met with PSTA, Clearwater
Ferry and the Chamber of Commerce regarding the marketing piece,
which will be comprehensive and support any transit alternative and
available parking during Spring Break. The agreement before Council is
to pay for 1/2 of the incremental cost for adding in a trolley and
additional stops during Spring Break to hopefully move the people who
chose to park Downtown to the beach. The fare is being extended by PSTA
and not part of this agenda item. Ms.Silverboard said PSTA is providing the
fare piece from within their resources.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to approve a funding agreement
between the City of Clearwater and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit

authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. The motion
was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

8. City Manager Reports
8.1 Accept Imagine Clearwater A Community Vision for the Downtown Clearwater
Page 9 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2017
Waterfront.
The creation of a master plan for the Downtown waterfront/bluff area was
identified as a priority project by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory
Services Panel during their study of Downtown Clearwater. In April 2016, City
Council awarded a contract to HR&A Advisors, Inc. to prepare such plan.
Imagine Clearwater was a six month planning process focused on developing
strategies to:
• better connect the waterfront with Downtown;
• draw residents and visitors to the waterfront; and
• catalyze greater activity and investment Downtown.
Due to the importance of the Downtown waterfront to the residents of
Clearwater, an extensive public engagement process was employed that
involved stakeholder interviews, stakeholder coalition meetings, seven
community workshops, a project website, and Facebook page. Residents from
numerous Clearwater neighborhoods participated in this process and together
developed a vision and guiding principles for the project. They also provided
feedback and guidance as the plan evolved.
The Plan is centered on the implementation of four key strategies.
• The waterfront must be anchored by a dynamic new open space.
• Coachman Park needs an active edge.
• An improved Osceola Ave. should complement Cleveland Street.
• Access to the site should incorporate all modes of transportation.
Imagine Clearwater envisions an enlarged and redesigned park that includes
five distinct areas - the Civic Gateway, Bluff Walk, the Green, Coachman
Garden, and the Estuary. These areas provide a variety of spatial experiences
with opportunities for active and passive use. This variety, along with additional
programming, is intended to accommodate people of all ages and interests,
which will help draw people to the park. In addition to creating a unique and
exciting waterfront, a central element of Imagine Clearwater is to activate the
bluff. Framing the park with active uses, such as residential, hotel, dining and
cultural uses will increase activity and safety within the park and attract people
to the area. An active bluff will also better connect the waterfront with
Downtown and leverage city investments, and create physical connections to
attract people from Downtown to the waterfront and vice versa. Improved
connectivity and access to the waterfront through a variety of modes is also
central to the success of the Downtown waterfront/bluff area, therefore,
Imagine Clearwater also includes a multi-modal strategy that includes a
variety of pedestrian routes, shared bicycles lanes, a Jolley Trolley route, the
Page 10 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2017
Clearwater Ferry and parking dispersed throughout the park.
Imagine Clearwater includes an implementation strategy which sets forth
phasing, governance, funding, and key next steps. Due to the size and
complexity of the project, the improvements are proposed to be implemented in
two phases over a 10 year period. Due to the elevated level of programming
envisioned for the park, the Plan also recommends the formation of a
public-private partnership to share the responsibilities of programming,
maintenance, capital projects and even advocacy for the plan vision and
passage of the referendum.
In response to the presentation of several options for an aerial transit system
that would link Downtown Clearwater to Clearwater Beach, City Council
authorized the expansion of the Imagine Clearwater scope to evaluate possible
downtown terminus locations. After an initial period of review, and further
assessment of the direction of the master plan and other city actions, staff
directed that the consultant discontinue further analysis. The reasons include
but are not limited to the following. First, at one point it was determined that
the park master plan would not accommodate infrastructure for a transit
component in its final draft recommendation. Secondly, the City initiated an
agreement for a coordinated approach with PSTA for conceptualized design
for a bus transfer station and facility on property currently owned by the City.
Lastly, limited analysis and other supporting documentation that could be
provided by specific transit alternatives limited the level of detailed review that
would be able to provide substantive and meaningful direction at this time.
This is not to imply or suggest in any way that additional consideration should
not be given to increasing the number of transit options to provide improved
service from the mainland to Clearwater Beach. Rather, it is staff’s belief that
a more deliberate and comprehensive approach would better advance the level
of serious discussion needed to determine that next appropriate steps in
transportation planning options. A more timely engagement of the City’s
transportation planner, traffic operations, and coordination with PSTA and
Forward Pinellas can better position the City to advance transportation options.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council
accept Imagine Clearwater A community Vision For the Downtown Clearwater
Waterfront.
HR&A representative Cary Hirschtein and Sasaki Urban Designer Martin
Zogran provided a PowerPoint presentation.
Planning and Development Director Michael Delk said there is no
perfect plan but changes to the proposed plan are expected. He
recommended that changes be approached judiciously; if not, the
City runs the risk of not being able to fully pursue the plan as the citizen
Page 11 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2017
initiated effort final draft represents. The proposed plan is the most
important ingredient in creating a sense of place, community and
establishing Downtown Clearwater as an urban neighborhood. Imagine
Clearwater, coupled with the redesign of Cleveland Street as a
Complete Street, the implementation of the North Marina Master Plan
and the lighting of the Memorial Causeway, will create value and build
on the current momentum and provide a renewed sense of ownership for
our citizens in Downtown. Mr. Delk said the Stakeholders Committee
unanimously recommended this afternoon that Council accept the
proposed plan.
Deputy City Manager Jill Silverboard said staff requests council
consideration to schedule a meeting for Council to discuss the proposed
plan and provide direction. The City Clerk has placed a hold for
Tuesday, February 21, any time after 4:00 p.m., on Council's calendars.
Accepting the plan tonight ends the public engagement component by
the consultant. Mr. Delk said the next step would be defining how to
implement the plan.
Discussion ensued with comments made that accepting the proposed
plan tonight would not commit the City to anything mentioned in the
plan.
In response to questions, Cary said during the sessions the team heard
people wanted greater connectivity at the waterfront; the team was
cognizant of safety issues and worked with city staff to create a plan
to achieve that goal. The community also expressed a desire for a plan
that focused on the natural elements of the area; the trend in parks and
open spaces across the country is implementing a flexible landscape
that supports different program elements. Martin said the proposed
estuary is suggestive and addresses stormwater treatment
coming from the park; not a legally defined estuary. Ms. Silverboard said
Council is not bound to any item included in the plan.
Eight individuals spoke in support, with one individual stressing the need
to include transportation as part of the planning process.
One individual spoke in support and suggested that referendum language
not utilize the word "downtown," as the area belongs to all Clearwater
citizens.
One individual opposed the proposed retention pond included in the
plan and expressed disappointment that aerial transit was not included
in the plan.
One individual said the ULI study stressed the importance of active
Page 12 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2017
destination nodes at the water's edge, such as a restaurant and
cautioned against too much green space as it will attract only day time
use.
In response to questions, Mr. Delk said the final bill related to the
elevated transit study expended only a fraction of the approved
budget. It was determined early in the process that the park
developed in conjunction with the public was not going to accommodate
the infrastructure for transit operations. Mr. Delk said that the City also
entered into an agreement with PSTA for the multimodal bus transfer
facility on a city-owned site. It was also determined by staff and the
consultants that analysis was lacking for any of the transit
groups offering options in order to make expenditure of the money
productive, as it relates to the development of this plan. Mr. Delk said
the remaining funds will be returned to the General Fund. He anticipates
future council discussion on reinitiating efforts for multi modal options.

development area; a conservancy group was created for their project called
the Scenic Corridor Foundation, which raised money for undergrounding
utilities and landscaping. He complimented the Mayor on his representation
of Clearwater at the Tiger Bay meeting.
Councilmember Caudell thanked the Mayor for his representation at the Tiger
Bay meeting. She thanked the Bluff Masterplan consultants for their work and
said work will continue on transportation issues.

system that was invented by NASA engineers in conjunction with the Israeli
aerospace industry and a system was being installed in Dubai. He said
Skytram has at least 20 advantages over other systems, it is solar powered
with a small footprint. Skytram is privately funded and does not want to use

event the Project is not completed and/or the gas facilities and service are for any reason
abandoned by DEVELOPER or its successors, and the System, or any part thereof, is no longer
required to serve the Project, CGS may at its election remove readily removable, non-essential
components of the System, purge and cap any components to be left in place, and restore any
disrupted surface areas of the Project.
3. Gas Appliance Requirements. In recognition of the substantial investment made
by CGS in constructing the System, DEVELOPER agrees that _seventy-five_ percent (_75__%)
of the townhomes in the Project will be built with an energy efficient gas water heater, gas range
gas dryer and gas fireplace (“Gas Compliant Residences”). In consideration of DEVELOPER
constructing the Gas Compliant Residences, DEVELOPER will be entitled to an Energy
Conservation Allowance as defined and provided for in paragraph 4. DEVELOPER agrees that
each "MODEL" residence in the Project will be a Gas Compliant Residence. Further,
DEVELOPER agrees to make a reasonable effort to utilize natural gas and natural gas appliances
and equipment in common areas of the Project such as community club houses, community
fitness centers, community pools, street lamps, community laundries and central water heating
systems. Additionally, DEVELOPER agrees to make a reasonable effort to require natural gas
for any commercial portions of the Project where economically feasible and as applicable.
For purposes of this Agreement, a “Gas Compliant Residence” shall be defined as those homes
constructed with an energy efficient, natural gas water heater, natural gas range, natural gas
fireplace and natural gas clothes dryer.
4.Energy Conservation Allowance. DEVELOPER may be entitled to Energy
Conservation Allowance payments for each home constructed in the Project that meets the
requirements of CGS’S Energy Conservation Program (the “Program”), as may be amended
from time to time by the Clearwater City Council. A summary of the allowance payments
presently allowed under the Program is attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. In the event the
Clearwater City Council rules or otherwise determines that the energy conservation allowance
payments referenced above, or any portion thereof, may not be recovered by CGS through the
Energy Conservation Adjustment, or that the entitlements under the Program shall be changed,
then CGS’S obligation to thereafter make said allowance payments will be bound by such City
Council directive and, as such, said allowance payments shall be adjusted to conform to such
Council directive or terminate, as applicable, upon completion of construction of any homes then
under construction in the Project (which homes shall remain eligible for allowance payments
without such adjustment). During the term of this Agreement, CGS shall have the right to
inspect any residence for which a claim for an allowance has been made, at reasonable times and
upon notice to DEVELOPER and the applicable landowner. DEVELOPER shall be entitled to
the Energy Conservation Allowance upon verification that the requirements of each Gas
Compliant Residence have been met and a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for that
Residence.
5. Insurance Requirements for City/CGS: The City/CGS shall, at its own cost and
expense, acquire and maintain during the term with the Developer, through self-insurance,

breaching party shall, except to the extent expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement, have
all rights and remedies available at law and at equity against the breaching party.
12.Assignment. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement by either
party shall require the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules,
orders, permits, and regulations of any federal, state, or local governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the parties, their facilities, or the transactions contemplated. This Agreement
shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. In the
event of litigation between the parties hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all prior negotiations,
understandings or agreements. Except as provided above, this Agreement shall be binding upon,
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.
This Agreement may be amended, modified or extended only by a written instrument signed by
both parties. No failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right,
power or remedy by either party shall constitute a waiver of, or shall preclude any other or
further exercise of, the same or any other right, power or remedy. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
[GM17-2064-074/198143/1]
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
party hereto or circumstance is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall
be effective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application of
the same. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and all the
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one (1) and the same instrument. The

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Mutual Use Agreement with Tampa Bay Water for the installation of natural gas
distribution mains and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) is installing a 6-in. natural gas distribution main along Bexley
Village Drive in Pasco County, just north of State Road 54. This main extension will serve the
new Bexley Ranch neighborhood currently under construction. CGS will be crossing the
Tampa Bay Water (TBW) transmission line easement that runs parallel with the Tower Rd
right-of-way.
To cross this easement, CGS will have to enter into a Mutual Use Agreement (MUA) with
TBW. This agreement will allow CGS to connect CGS’ main to its current distribution system
within Bexley Ranch. CGS has previously crossed TBW at Ballantrae Blvd and Tower Rd. This
new crossing at Bexley Village Drive is being constructed to provide looping of the CGS
system, which will enhance system reliability.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Vehicle Use Agreement between the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida and
the City of Clearwater through August 23, 2017 for the City to utilize Pinellas County School
buses at a cost of $1.50 per mile plus $29.00 per hour, for a total estimated cost of $40,000
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Parks and Recreation Department organizes field trips requiring bus transportation for
participants.
The Pinellas County School System allows municipalities to utilize their fleet of buses and
drivers for $1.50 per mile plus $29.00 per hour for driver with a five-hour booking minimum.
During the summer of 2017, the department will organize approximately 150 field trips that
may utilize school bus transportation.
Comparing a sampling cost of school buses for these trips against the use of private bus lines
indicates school buses are generally a less costly mode of transportation. During the past
year, the City utilized school buses for field trips at a cost of approximately $35,000.
Approval of this Agreement will provide staff with a larger number of options when determining
the most cost effective source of transportation for participants.
The Agreement is similar to agreements between the Pinellas County School Board and other
Pinellas County municipalities that utilize school bus transportation.
The Recreation Programming Division’s Operating Budget contains sufficient funds to cover
the costs associated with this Agreement.
This item supports the City's Strategic Plan by partnering with other public organizations to be
more efficient in providing services and programs to the youth of our community.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a License Agreement between the Board of Trustees of St. Petersburg College
(SPC) and the City of Clearwater (City) providing for the use of Jack Russell Stadium for SPC
baseball, the use of Eddie C. Moore Softball Complex for SPC softball, and terminates an
older license agreement between SPC and the City to use the Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
SPC transferred ownership of the Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex to the City in July 2000 in
exchange for the college having priority use of the baseball fields for their baseball program.
SPC desires to improve their baseball and softball programs and to provide improvements to
City facilities in order to meet this goal.
The City has made several improvements to the Jack Russell Stadium complex including
renovation of restrooms, batting tunnels, painting of structures and is currently constructing
new offices to house the Athletic section of the Parks and Recreation Department.
However, much is still left to be done and SPC wants to partner with the City to make
improvements to the main clubhouse which will then be used by SPC and the City.
This License Agreement will replace the previous License Agreement and terminate the other
agreement in its entirety.
This Agreement will allow SPC first priority for use of Jack Russell Stadium working in good
faith with Clearwater High School baseball team and the City’s sports tourism initiatives. In
addition SPC will have first priority for use of E.C. Moore Softball Complex for games and
practices for the softball team.
SPC will make improvements and renovations to the locker facilities and other baseball
amenities on site which will become the property of the City.
SPC will reimburse the City for all direct expenses associated with their facility usages i.e. field
lighting, utility charges, staff and field maintenance.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Chief of Police to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of
Clearwater Police Department and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) primary duties
include issuance of motor vehicle and driver licenses, registration and titling of motor vehicles,
and enforcement of all laws governing traffic, travel and public safety upon Florida's public
highways.
In carrying out its statutorily mandated duties and responsibilities, the DHSMV collects and
maintains personal information that identifies individuals. This information is stored in the
DHSMV Driver and Vehicle Information Database system, commonly referred to as DAVID.
Based upon the nature of this information, the DHSMV is subject to the disclosure prohibitions
contained in 18 U.S.C. §2721, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, Section 119.0712(2),
Florida Statutes, and other statutory provisions.
Law enforcement personnel may utilize the DAVID database for legitimate law enforcement
purposes which include:
·Traffic related inquiries, crash investigations or red light camera violations;
·Response to call for service, possible criminal activity, or disturbances;
·Criminal investigations, suspect identification or to obtain descriptors;
·Emergency notifications; or other legitimate law enforcement purpose.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) requires the Clearwater Police
Department to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding in order to have continued access
to the DHSMV database; however, FDLE now requires that the MOU must be executed by the
person authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the Clearwater Police Department.
The current data exchange MOU between both parties is set to expire November 13, 2017,
which was for a 3-year term. This new MOU for continued access to the DHSMV
files/programs will be for a term of six years.

The agreement requires that the 30% Design of the project be reviewed by a third party to
validate the design criteria and engineering estimates of construction. The Third Party
Review was completed in July of 2016. There was an increase in the engineering
estimate at the 30% design. SWFWMD approved of the Third Party Review and the
increase in cost at their Board Meeting in September of 2016.
This amendment provides for an increase of reimbursement from SWFWMD of 50% with
a maximum in the amount of $2,018,000 for the total project cost of $32,716,000 and total
SWFWMD reimbursement up to $16,358,000 maximum in accordance with the latest
engineering estimate.

and perform all work within the time period as specified in this contract.
It is further mutually agreed between the City and the Contractor that if, any time after the execution of
this contract and the public construction bond which is attached hereto for the faithful performance of the

Agenda Number: 7.9
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve services agreement (purchase order) to Quorum Services LLC of Tampa, FL, in the
annual amount of $400,000 for Inspection and Plan Review Services, with two, one-year
extension options at the City’s discretion, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting approval of a service agreement with Quorum Services LLC to provide
inspection and plan review for the Planning and Development Department. Services to be
provided by Quorum include, but are not limited to inspections for construction permits and
plan review for construction permit applications.
During calendar year 2016, a total of $352,000 was spent on outside contractor inspection and
plan review services. Construction projects continue to be very active with some sizable
projects. The inability to find qualified inspectors, and also our commitment to expedient
service has resulted in the need for these outside contractor expenses.
Quorum Services is the low responsive bidder to Invitation to Bid Number 03-17, issued on
November 18, 2016. Five responses were received for the bid. The Department also
requests, within this authorization, the approval to utilize the secondary responsive bidder, Joe
Payne, Inc. in a limited capacity at any time that Quorum is unable to respond in a timely
manner to the City’s needs.
Qualified licensed professionals have been very difficult to find.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funding for the Purchase Order(s) will come from budget line item for Contractual Services
0-010-1430-530300-524-000.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Amend City Council Policies to add a new Block Party Insurance Requirement under General
Administration. (consent)
SUMMARY:
A neighborhood block party is an opportunity for neighbors to get together, meet each other,
have fun, and work together on a common activity. Each year, dozens of Clearwater
neighborhoods hold block parties which can range from small barbecues or pot lucks to larger
neighborhood-wide events with amusements like bounce houses and other activities in the
City’s rights-of-way. Neighborhoods apply for block party permits, which the Neighborhood
Coordinator assists with; however, because the City is issuing a permit for the block party, it
can potentially have greater risk of liability should something happen during the event in the
City’s right-of-way.
Planning and Development, Parks and Recreation, and Risk Management staff have worked
together to develop a new block party application process which ensures efficient customer
service while also insulating the City of any claims arising from such an event. Staff is
proposing a two-tier system which differentiates smaller scale block parties that do not include
amusements or alcohol in the right-of-way (Tier 1 block parties) from those larger-scale
parties that include high risk components and activities in the right-of-way such as alcohol
consumption, cooking and inflatable amusements (Tier 2 block parties). A new City Council
policy is proposed that would establish this two-tier system and enable the City to require
liability insurance for those parties that are higher liability risks for the City. If the block party
organizer and/or Homeowner’s Association (HOA) does not have liability insurance, the City
recommends purchasing a Tulip Tenant Users Liability Insurance Policy, provided by Specialty
Advantage Insurance Services.
Proposed General Administration Policy I (with subsequent policies re-lettered):
I. Block Party Insurance Requirement:
In order to insulate the City from claims resulting from activities held in the public right-of-way
in City-permitted block parties, block parties shall be administered using a two-tier approach,
which differentiates between smaller scale block parties that do not include amusements or
alcohol in the right-of-way (Tier 1 block parties) from those larger-scale parties that include
high risk components and activities (i.e., alcohol zones, fire pits, inflatable amusements) (Tier

2 block parties). Prior to the issuance of a block party permit, block parties categorized as
Tier 2 shall be required to demonstrate that they have general liability insurance in the amount
of $1,000,000 for which the City is listed as additionally insured.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
A. Application Fee Waivers. Generally, building permit, occupational
license, plan review and zoning-related application fees will not be waived
except for City projects and other governmental agencies. If staff believes
special conditions exist, such requests may be brought to the Council for
consideration. Application fee waivers for governmental agencies will
include all governmental projects including those in which the
governmental agency is leasing property from a third party, providing the
governmental agency is the entity which applies for and obtains the
permit. PACT will be considered a governmental entity when considering
application fee waivers.
NOTE:The City Clerk's research regarding waiver of application fees
shows the following:
Chi Chi Rodriquez Youth Foundation - no waivers
Center Foundation - waive building permit fees
Pinellas County - waived building permit fees for work done by County
forces; waive fees for variance application
State of Florida - waive fees for variance applications
Clearwater Ferry - waive building permit fees
St. Petersburg College - refunded building permit fee for parking lot
Skye Lane Properties, LLC – waived permit, application, inspection,and
other fees via Resolution 14-03
None of the above includes waiving impact fees.
B.Bright and Beautiful. In order to maintain and enhance the image of
Bright and Beautiful Clearwater, the Council supports staff in enhanced
solid waste recycling and conservation projects, tightening and increasing
enforcement of codes (i.e., fence landscaping, prohibition of banners,lot
clearing, etc.). Staff is also directed to place a greater emphasis on and
coordinate aesthetic consideration on site plans and other development
review (i.e., placement of dumpsters, fencing of dumpsters,property
landscaping and landscaping of parking lots including perimeter
plantings). Litter cleanup and "adopt a street or park" programs are
encouraged. Educational and incentive programs for both City staff and
the public addressing this issue should be developed.
C.Fire Lanes.Fire Department personnel will participate in the enforcement
of parking violations pertaining to fire lanes and fire hydrants.
24
General Administration (contd.)
D.Copyright Fees. The City shall pay the necessary copyright fees to
ASCAP for those concerts in the bandshell co-sponsored by the City. The

shall pay the necessary copyright fees to BMI for showing movies at
various recreation centers.
E.Renewal.
All renewals of agreements the City has with organizations or tenants

Items not on the Agenda.
I.Block Party Insurance Requirement. In order to insulate the City from claims
resulting from activities held in the public right-of-way in City-permitted block
parties, block parties shall be administered using a two-tier approach, which
differentiates between smaller scale block parties that do not include
amusements or alcohol in the right-of-way (Tier 1 block parties) from those
larger-scale parties that include high risk components and activities (i.e.,
alcohol zones, fire pits, inflatable amusements) (Tier 2 block parties). Prior to
the issuance of a block party permit, block parties categorized as Tier 2 shall
be required to demonstrate that they have general liability insurance in the
amount of $1,000,000 for which the City is listed as additionally insured.
JI.Special Event Street Closure Limitation. Street closures for special
events shall be limited to two (2) per calendar year requested by any one
non-profit or for-profit organization. The City of Clearwater shall be exempt
from this limitation. The City shall comply with any Florida Department of

25
General Administration (contd.)
KJ.Roadside Memorial Marker Program.
The purpose of this policy is to establish the guidelines for the placement
of standardized roadside memorials for people that have died as a result
of a motor vehicle, pedestrian or bicycle crash within City maintained right-
of-way on segments of roadway in incorporated Clearwater.
The City of Clearwater, Traffic Operations Division, is responsible for the
implementation of the Roadside Memorial Marker Program.
The policy will apply to fatalities occurring after January 1,2005.
The installation of a roadside memorial marker will be processed in
accordance with the following:
Requests for a memorial marker shall be submitted in writing to the Traffic
Operations Division of Engineering by filling out a Memorial Marker
Request Form. The form will be available online from the City’s website or
by calling the City. Requests may be made by immediate family members
or friends. Requests from friends require written approval from the
deceased’s immediate family.
Memorial markers will be designed, constructed and installed by the
Clearwater Traffic Operations Division. The Traffic Operations Division
will be responsible for designing the sign and ensuring proper and safe
placement – the exact location will be at the discretion of the City.
Memorial markers will not be allowed within the limits of active
construction work zones.
There shall be no activities while the memorial marker is in place that pose
a safety hazard to the public or that violates any provision of Chapter 316
of the Florida Statutes concerning stopping, standing, parking, or
obstruction of traffic on public roads.
Memorial Markers will only be installed in residential areas where fatalities
occurred with the written permission of the resident whose property is
abutting the residential right of way where the memorial is to be placed.
The requesting citizen will be notified once the installation is complete.
Memorial markers will be allowed to remain in place for one year after
installation unless earlier removal is necessitated by construction
activities. After one year the sign will be removed by City forces.
The memorial marker shall be a 15” diameter aluminum sign with a white
background and black letters.
26
General Administration (contd.)
The sign message will state ‘Drive Safely – In memory’, and the family will
have the option of adding the deceased’s name to the sign.
As an option, the City can offer an alternate safety message to the ‘Drive
Safely’ legend if desired by the family that would be specific to the type of
crash, and as long as it will fit on the sign. Examples could be ‘Don’t Drink
and Drive’, ‘Buckle Up’, ‘Slow Down’,etc.
The sign will be mounted at a height of 3.5’ (42”) from the ground to the
top of the sign.
The applicant will incur the cost of design, construction, installation,
maintenance, and removal of the memorial marker. This cost is $300.00.
Upon request the sign becomes the property of the applicant.
LK. City Sponsored Events. Events sponsored by the City, such as
Volunteer Recognition, Advisory Board Appreciation, etc., shall be held
within the City limits of Clearwater, unless the cost for a venue outside the
City limits is at least 20%less.
ML. CourtneyCampbell Parkway (State Road 60) Welcome Signage
Program.
Welcome signs are intended to greet visitors to Clearwater and
share accomplishments of national or international significance (awards)
or significant historical events that have been a part of the City of
Clearwater.
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has permitted two
welcome signs to be installed by the City on FDOT right-of-way on the north
side of Courtney Campbell Parkway (State Road 60): 1) a general
welcome to City of Clearwater sign, and 2) a sign dedicated to recognizing
a special award of national or international significance or a Clearwater
historical event.
The installation of a welcome sign will be processed in accordance with
the following:
•Requests for a welcome sign shall be submitted in writing to the
Parks and Recreation Department by filling out a Courtney
Campbell Parkway (State Road 60) Welcome Signage Program
Application. The form is available online at www.myclearwater.com,
or by calling the Parks and Recreation Department.
•The award to be recognized by the welcome sign must be of
national or international significance.
► Accomplishment of national or international significance is
27
General Administration (contd.)
an achievement or completion of an award granted to an
organization or to the City in recognition of being the best
in the entire nation or the best involving two or more
countries that promote and enhance the image of
Clearwater.
►Significant Clearwater historical events are defined as
events that are unique to Clearwater and add to the overall
understanding of the City and its history.
•If approved, a welcome sign may be allowed for a period not to
exceed two years.
•Requests for a welcome sign may be made by a group or an
individual, however written approval to use the event or award to be
recognized must be secured from the governing body being
represented. In cases where the request is for a group or
organization no longer in existence but historically significant to the
City no approval is necessary.
•Welcome signs, if approved, will be designed, constructed and
installed by the Parks and Recreation Department. Requesting
group is responsible to reimburse the City for all direct expenses
(approximately $1,000 -$2,000).
•The City Council must approve all welcome sign application
requests.
•The Courtney Campbell Parkway (State Road 60) Welcome
Signage Program is dependent on continued permitted approvals
given by FDOT. If for some reason FDOT does not approve
permitting the welcome signs, this policy becomes void and any
existing signage would be removed.
The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the coordination of
the Courtney Campbell Parkway (State Road 60) Welcome Signage
Program.

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 1515
Stevenson’s Drive and 1316 Woodbine Street, together with certain abutting right-of-way of
Stevenson’s Drive and Carol Drive, and pass Ordinances 8997-17, 8998-17, 8999-17 on first
reading. (ANX2016-11039)
SUMMARY:
These voluntary annexation petitions involve 0.34-acres of property consisting of two parcels
of land each occupied by a single-family dwelling. The first parcel of 0.167 acres is located at
the southeast corner of Stevenson’s Drive and Carol Drive, approximately 280 feet west of N.
Betty Lane (1515 Stevenson's Drive) and the second parcel of 0.18 acres is located on the
north side of Woodbine Street, approximately 340 feet east of N. Betty Lane (1316 Woodbine
Street). Both applicants are requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from
the City, and the applicant for 1316 Woodbine Street is also requesting to receive sanitary
sewer service. The Development Review Committee is proposing that the 0.49-acres of
abutting Stevenson’s Drive and Carol Drive right-of-way not currently within the city limits also
be annexed. Both parcels are contiguous to existing city boundaries 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 a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexations are
consistent with the provisions of Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
·Both properties currently receive water service from Pinellas County. The applicant for
1316 Woodbine Street is requesting sanitary sewer and the closest line is located in
the adjacent Woodbine 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. For the property located at 1515 Stevenson’s Drive the closest
sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent Stevenson’s Drive right-of-way, and the
applicant 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. Collection of solid waste for both properties will be
provided by the City of Clearwater. The properties are located within Police District II
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 2/15/2017
File Number: ANX2016-11039
and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce
Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to these properties by
Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to
serve these properties with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service.
The proposed annexations will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their
levels of service; and
·The proposed annexations are consistent with and promote 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 these properties. This designation
primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning
district to be assigned to these properties is the Low Medium Density Residential
(LMDR) District. The use of the properties is consistent with the uses allowed in the
District and the properties exceed the District’s minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexations are therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the
City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
·Both parcels are contiguous to existing city boundaries along at least one property
boundary; therefore the annexations are consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter
171.044.

File Number: HDA2016-09001
Agenda Date: 2/16/2017 Status: Public HearingVersion: 1
File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Planning & Development
Agenda Number: 8.2
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction on the proposed Development Agreement between North Clearwater Beach
Development, LLC (the property owner) and the City of Clearwater, providing for the allocation
of 10 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and confirm a second
public hearing in City Council Chambers before City Council on March 2, 2017 at 6:00 p.m., or
as soon thereafter as may be heard. (HDA2016-09001)
SUMMARY:
Site Location and Existing Conditions:
The 0.35-acre site is located on the south side of Bay Esplanade approximately 230 feet east
of Poinsettia Avenue. The subject property is comprised of two parcels with a frontage of
approximately 130 feet along Bay Esplanade. The site is occupied by 11 attached dwellings
within two buildings; a one-story and two-story. The subject property is zoned Tourist (T)
District with an underlying Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category of Resort Facilities High
(RFH). The subject property is also located within the Old Florida District of Beach by Design.
Vehicular access to the site is generally provided by a drop curb along Bay Esplanade which
runs along the entire north side of the site providing access to parking spaces which exist at
least partially if not entirely within and back out into the Bay Esplanade right-of-way. Building
frontage is generally located along Bay Esplanade.
The larger area is characterized generally by overnight accommodation and attached dwelling
uses with heights ranging from one to four stories. A hotel 75 feet in height is under
construction immediately to the north of the site across Bay Esplanade.
A dock with five slips is located along the south side of the site. It should be noted that the
dock will only be permitted to be used as an accessory use to the hotel and limited to use by
to registered hotel guests only.
Development Proposal:
The current proposal is to demolish all structures on the site and build a single seven -floor
hotel with 27 hotel rooms (78 units per acre). The 27 proposed units include 17 units
otherwise permitted by the Resort Facilities High Future Land Use classification and an
additional 10 units from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design. The building will
be 75 feet (from Base Flood Elevation) to roof with the parking on the first floor. The proposal
includes a tropical modern architecture, which is consistent with and complements the tropical
vernacular envisioned in Beach by Design.
The site will be accessed via two driveways with one two-way driveway located at the
northeast corner of the property and the second driveway (an ingress-only) located at the
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 2/15/2017
File Number: HDA2016-09001
northwest corner. A service drive is located at the northeast corner of the building along Bay
Esplanade. The primary entrance and lobby of the building will be located along Bay
Esplanade on the second floor.
As noted, the first (ground) floor of the building will contain all 32 required parking spaces as
well as a solid waste component. The second through fourth floors contain five hotel units
each with the remaining three floors containing four rooms each. The fifth floor also includes
an open veranda. The roof level (available for guests only) includes a pool, dog run, fitness
room, restroom, a small bar and a variety of seating and lounging areas.
The existing dock is proposed to remain and will function as an accessory use to the proposed
hotel and will be available only for hotel guests.
It should be noted that the proposal includes the provision of an atypical lobby arrangement
where a small office/registration area is provided at the northwest corner of the second floor .
The registration area will be staffed between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The applicant has provided that an agent will otherwise be available via telephone 24 hours a
day/seven days a week. In short, the proposed lobby consists of a small office area tucked
into a corner of the second floor which will, for the most part, be unstaffed. This point,
specifically, is in direct conflict with the provision of Section V.B.2 of Beach by Design which
provides that a “reservation system shall be required as an integral part of the hotel use and
there shall be a lobby/front desk area that must be operated as a typical lobby/front desk area
for a hotel would be operated”.
Consistency with the Community Development Code (CDC):
Minimum Lot Area and Width:
The subject property is 15,175 square feet in area and approximately 130 feet wide. The
proposed lot area and width may be approved as part of a Level Two (FLD) application,
subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the Community Development Code
Minimum Setbacks:
The conceptual site plan depicts setbacks to building of 16 feet along the front (north) along
Bay Esplanade and five feet along all other remaining sides of the site. The conceptual site
plan depicts setbacks to pavement of 10 feet along the front (north) along Bay Esplanade and
zero feet along all other remaining sides of the site. The proposed setbacks may be approved
as part of a Level One (FLS) application, subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of
the Community Development Code.
Maximum Height:
Section A.1.c of the Old Florida District within Beach by Design specifically addresses height.
The proposal provides for a building 75 feet in height as measured from BFE where a height
of up to 75 feet is permitted for overnight accommodations. The proposed height is also
permitted by the CDC subject to meeting the applicable flexibility criteria of the CDC and as
approved as part of a Level II Flexible Development application and as otherwise limited by
Beach by Design.
The height of the proposed building is consistent with the guidelines of Beach by Design.
Minimum Off-Street Parking:
The 27-room overnight accommodation use requires a minimum of 32 off-street parking
spaces. A parking garage located on the first levels of the building will provide a minimum of
32 spaces. This is consistent with the applicable Sections of the CDC.

While a formal landscape plan is not required to be submitted for review at this time, the
conceptual landscape areas depicted on the site plan show that adequate spaces for
foundation landscaping will be provided along the street frontage as required by Section A.6 of
the Old Florida District within Beach by Design. Since no perimeter landscape buffers are
otherwise required in the Tourist (T) District, the proposed landscape areas meet or exceed
what is required. It is noted, however, that flexibility may be requested/necessary as part of a
Comprehensive Landscape Program which would be reviewed at time of formal site plan
approval.
Consistency with Beach by Design:
Old Florida District
Section A.1 specifies that overnight accommodations may be permitted up to a height of 75
feet (except for those properties located along Somerset Street). The property is not located
along Somerset Street and a height of 75 feet is proposed.
Section A.2 specifies that a 15 foot front setback is required as are 10 foot side and rear
setbacks. All setbacks are specifically to building. Section A.4 provides that a maximum
reduction of five feet from any required setback (to building) may be possible. The proposal
includes a front setback of 16 feet and five foot setback on all other sides.
Section A.3 provides requirements for stepbacks and setbacks for building exceeding 35 feet
in height. Any development exceeding 35 feet in height shall be required to incorporate a
building stepback on at least one side of the building (at a point of 35 feet). In the case of the
subject property, the stepback is required along the north side of the building along Bay
Esplanade. This section also specifies that a stepback/setback ratio, for this property is one
foot for every 2.5 feet in building height above 35 feet. The additional stepback/setback for
the proposed building is 16 feet. The total required stepback/setback distance for this project
from the front (north) property line is between 26 and 31 feet (depending on if a reduction of
five feet along the front property were requested as provided for in Section A .2). The
applicant has provided a 16 foot setback (to building) and a 15 foot stepback at 35 feet for a
total stepback/setback distance of 31 feet.
Section A.6 requires a 10 foot landscape buffer is along all street frontages where the
proposal includes a landscape buffer area of 10 feet along Bay Esplanade.
Design Guidelines:
A review of the provided architectural elevations and massing study was conducted and the
proposed building does appear to be generally consistent with the applicable Design
Guidelines established in Beach by Design. It is noted, however, that a more formal review of
these Guidelines will need to be conducted as part of the final site plan approval process.
Hotel Density Reserve:
The project has been reviewed for compliance with those criteria established within Beach by
Design concerning the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve. The project is inconsistent
with the criterion which requires the provision of a typical lobby arrangement. The proposed
lobby consists of a small office tucked into a corner of the second floor which will, for the most
part, be unstaffed. Other criteria are met, including that the development comply with the
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) countywide approach to the application of traffic
concurrency management for transportation facilities. The submitted Traffic Impact Study
concludes that traffic operations at nearby intersections and on adjacent roadways would
continue at acceptable levels of service.

File Number: HDA2016-09001
Standards for Development Agreements:
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. However, the proposal is in direct conflict with the
provision of Section V.B.2 of Beach by Design which provides that a “reservation system shall
be required as an integral part of the hotel use and there shall be a lobby/front desk area that
must be operated as a typical lobby/front desk area for a hotel would be operated”.
The proposed Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years,
meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by
Design and includes the following main provisions:
§Provides for the allocation of 10 units from the Hotel Density Reserve;
§Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy in
accordance with Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407;
§Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not
constructed;
§password
§Prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve to a
residential use and requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units
to overnight accommodation usage; and
§Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will
be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is
posted by the National Hurricane Center.

DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
THIS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS ("Declaration") is
made as of the _____ day of ________________, 20___, by North Clearwater Beach
Development, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Developer").
Developer is the owner of fee simple title to the real property described in Schedule 1
attached hereto and made a part hereof (hereinafter, the ("Real Property"). The City of
Clearwater, Florida (the "City"), has amended its Comprehensive Plan to designate Clearwater
Beach as a Community Redevelopment District pursuant to the Pinellas County Planning
Council Rules in order to implement the provisions of Beach by Design, a plan for the
revitalization of Clearwater Beach.
The designation of Clearwater Beach as a Community Redevelopment District (the
"Designation") provides for the allocation of Hotel Density Reserve Units as an incentive for the
development of mid-size quality hotels. Pursuant to the Designation, the allocation of Hotel
Density Reserve Units is subject to compliance with a series of performance standards, including
a requirement that resorts containing a hotel developed with Hotel Density Reserve Units shall
be closed and all Guests evacuated from such hotels as soon as practicable after the National
Hurricane Center posts a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach. The purpose of such
evacuation is to ensure that such a hotel is evacuated in advance of the period of time when a
hurricane evacuation would be expected in advance of the approach of hurricane force winds.
The City has granted, by City Council Resolution __________, passed and approved on
____________, 20___, Developer's application for Hotel Density Reserve Units pursuant to the
Designation, subject to Developer's compliance with the requirements of the Designation.
Developer desires for itself, and its successors and assigns, as owner, to establish certain rights,
duties, obligations and responsibilities with respect to the use and operation of the Real Property
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the allocation of the Hotel Density Reserve Units
to the City and the Designation, which rights, duties, obligations and responsibilities shall be
binding on any and all successors and assigns and will run with the title to the Real Property.
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and restrictions herein set forth and to
be observed and performed, and in further consideration of the allocation of Hotel Density
Reserve Units to Developer, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, Developer hereby declares, covenants and agrees as follows:
1. Benefit and Enforcement. These covenants and restrictions are made for the
benefit of Developer and its successors and assigns and shall be enforceable by them and also for
17
the benefit of the residents of the City and shall be enforceable on behalf of said residents by the
City Council of the City.
2. Covenant of Development, Use and Operation. Developer hereby covenants and
agrees to the development, use and operation of the Real Property in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration.
2.1 Use. The use of the resort on the Real Property is restricted as follows:
2.1.1 10 units, which is the number of hotel units allocated to Developer from
the Hotel Density Reserve, shall be used solely for transient occupancy of one
month or thirty (30) consecutive days or less, must be licensed as a public lodging
establishment and classified as a hotel, and must be operated by a single licensed
operator of the hotel. All other units shall be licensed as a public lodging
establishment. No unit shall be used as a primary or permanent residence.
Access to overnight accommodation units must be provided through a lobby and
internal corridor. A reservation system shall be required as an integral part of the
hotel use and there shall be a lobby/front desk area that must be operated as a
typical lobby/front desk area for a hotel would be operated. All hotel units shall
be required to be submitted to a rental program requiring all hotel units to be
available for members of the public as overnight hotel guests on a transient basis
at all times. No unit shall have a complete kitchen facility as that term is used in
the definition of “dwelling unit” in the Code. Developer shall make available for
inspection to authorized representatives of the City its books and records
pertaining to each Hotel Density Reserve unit upon reasonable notice to confirm
compliance with these regulations as allowed by general law. The Developer
agrees to comply with the Design Guidelines as set forth in Section VII. of Beach
by Design.
2.1.2 As used herein, the terms "transient occupancy," "public lodging
establishment," "hotel”, and "operator" shall have the meaning given to such
terms in Florida Statutes Chapter 509, Part I.
2.2 Closure of Improvements and Evacuation. The Hotel developed on the Real
Property shall be closed as soon as practicable upon the issuance of a hurricane watch by the
National Hurricane Center, which hurricane watch includes Clearwater Beach, and all Hotel
guests, visitors and employees other than emergency and security personnel required to protect
the hotel, shall be evacuated from the Hotel as soon as practicable following the issuance of said
hurricane watch. In the event that the National Hurricane Center shall modify the terminology
employed to warn of the approach of hurricane force winds, the closure and evacuation
provisions of this Declaration shall be governed by the level of warning employed by the
National Hurricane Center which precedes the issuance of a forecast of probable landfall in order
to ensure that the guests, visitors and employees will be evacuated in advance of the issuance of
a forecast of probable landfall.
18
3 Effective Date. This Declaration shall become effective upon issuance of all
building permits required to build the project ("Project") and Developer's commencement of
construction of the Project, as evidence by a Notice of Commencement for the Project. This
Declaration shall expire and terminate automatically if and when the allocation of Reserve Units
to the Developer expires or is terminated.
4 Governing Law. This Declaration shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
5 Recording. This Declaration shall be recorded in the chain of title of the Real
Property with the Clerk of the Courts of Pinellas County, Florida.
6 Attorneys' Fees. Developer shall reimburse the City for any expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, which are incurred by the City in the event that the City determines
that it is necessary and appropriate to seek judicial enforcement of this Declaration and the City
obtains relief, whether by agreement of the parties or through order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
7 Severability. If any provision, or part thereof, of this Declaration or the
application of this Declaration to any person or circumstance will be or is declared to any extent
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Declaration, or the application of such
provision or portion thereof to any person or circumstance, shall not be affected thereby, and
each and every other provision of this Declaration shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Developer has caused this Declaration to be executed this
_____ day of ______________, 20___.

Palazzo
657 & 663 Bay Esplanade
Narrative
Request
Approval of a Development Agreement for the allocation of 10 hotel units from the Hotel Density
Reserve under Beach by Design to permit a 27-unit Overnight Accommodations use in the Tourist (T)
District, under the provisions of CDC Section 4-606.C.1.
Proposal
The applicant proposes to redevelop the site at 657 and 663 Bay Esplanade with a new overnight
accommodation use with 27 units. A total of 10 hotel units are requested to be allocated from the Hotel
Density Reserve for this development. The site is presently developed with a total of 11 attached
dwelling units, all which will be demolished for the new building and site improvements. There exists a
dock with five slips on submerged land proposed to be retained as an accessory use to the hotel and for
the sole use of its guests. The proposed hotel will offer a coastal modern architectural design for
travelers looking for a mid-priced hotel with limited services. The design provides a seven-story hotel
with six levels of hotel rooms over ground level parking at a building height of 75 feet from Base Flood
Elevation (BFE). An accessory swimming pool with restrooms, fitness room and small bar/grill area for
use of the hotel guests is located on the roof deck. Limited food service may be provided for guests only
(not open to the general public). An office/registration desk with lobby is located on Floor 2. All guest
rooms are accessed through internal corridors. A total of 32 parking spaces, meeting the required
amount of parking spaces, are provided on the ground floor. This proposed hotel is expected to
generate approximately 10 new jobs.
The site is located within the area designated by Beach by Design as the Old Florida District. Beach by
Design identifies this area as an area of transition between resort uses in Central Beach to the low
intensity residential neighborhoods to the north of Acacia Street. The mix of uses primarily includes
residential, recreational, overnight accommodations and institutional uses. To that end, Beach by Design
supports the development of new overnight accommodations, attached dwellings and resort attached
dwellings throughout the District with limited retail/commercial and mixed use development fronting
Mandalay Avenue between Bay Esplanade and Somerset Street. The proposed Overnight
Accommodations project fits well into this vision of this District.
Site Location and Existing Conditions
The subject site is comprised of two platted lots with a total lot area of 0.348 acre. The site is located
approximately 220 feet east of Poinsettia Avenue and 400 feet south of Somerset Street. The site has
132 feet of frontage. The subject site is currently developed with a total of 11 attached dwelling units, all
which will be removed for the new structure. There exists a dock with five slips as an accessory use,
which will remain with the proposed overnight accommodation use for the sole use of its guests. The
subject property is zoned Tourist (T) District with a Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) category of Resort
Facilities High (RFH) and is located in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design.
2
Compliance with the Flexible Development Standards of CDC Table 2-803 and other CDC
Requirements
Density – The maximum density permissible for overnight accommodations in the Tourist (T) District is
50 units per acre. Based on this maximum permissible density of 50 units per acre and a lot area of
0.348 acre, this produces a maximum number of units of 17.4 units. The proposed Development
Agreement requests 10 overnight accommodation units from the Hotel Density Reserve. The overall
density with a total of 27 overnight accommodation units will be 77.6 units per acre, which is less than
the 90 units per acre permitted under the Hotel Density Reserve.
Minimum Lot Area and Width – The minimum lot area for an overnight accommodation use is 10,000 –
20,000 square feet, pursuant to CDC Table 2-803. The subject site area is 15,175 square feet, which is
within the lot area requirements of this standard for overnight accommodations. The minimum lot
width for an overnight accommodation use is 100 – 150 feet, pursuant to CDC Table 2-803. The subject
site has a lot width of 132 feet (measured at the front setback of 15 feet) along Bay Esplanade, which is
within the lot width requirements of this standard for overnight accommodations.
Minimum Setbacks and Stepbacks – The setbacks for an overnight accommodation use pursuant to CDC
Table 2-803 are a minimum front setback of 0 – 15 feet, a minimum side setback of 0 – 10 feet and a
minimum rear setback of 0 – 20 feet. However, Beach by Design sets a minimum front setback of 15
feet, a side setback of 10 feet and a rear setback of 10 feet for all development in the Old Florida
District, which governs over the CDC requirements. The Old Florida District provides a maximum
reduction of five feet from any required setback if the decreased setback results in an improved site
plan, landscaping areas in excess of the minimum required and/or improved design and appearance.
Section D of the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design states that there should be a 12-foot setback to
structures along local streets (which includes Bay Esplanade). The proposal includes a new building and
site improvements with a front (north) setback of 16 feet to the building and 10 feet to pavement. The
proposal also includes a side (east) setback of five feet to the building and pavement. A side (west)
setback of five feet to the building and pavement is provided. Finally, the proposal includes a rear
(south) setback of 10 feet to the building and five feet to pavement.
Bay Esplanade adjacent to this site is an east/west orientation requiring a building stepback on the
either the east or west side (Section 3.c of the Old Florida District of Beach by Design). A building
stepback, based on the proposed building height above 35 feet above Base Flood Elevation (BFE), of
10.8 feet is required and 11.5 feet is provided on the west side for floors 5 – 7. The Old Florida District
also requires a stepback or an increased setback on the front of the building, where 16 feet is required
for buildings over 35 feet in height above BFE. The proposal is for a front stepback of 15 feet to the
building and, when combined with the provided setback of 16 feet, provides for a total stepback of 31
feet above the 35 feet in height above BFE, complying with the requirements.
Maximum Height – The maximum building height for an overnight accommodation use is between 35 –
100 feet, pursuant to CDC Table 2-803. The proposal includes a building height of 75 feet to the top of
roof deck from BFE for the flat roofed restrooms, fitness room, architectural grid pergola and tent
structure on the roof level of the proposed building, which is within the maximum allowable height
range of Table 2-803. The maximum allowable height for overnight accommodation uses in the Old
Florida District of Beach by Design is 75 feet above BFE, where the proposal does not exceed the
maximum allowable.
3
Minimum Off-Street Parking – The minimum required parking for an overnight accommodation use is
1.0 – 1.2 parking spaces per unit. There are a total of 27 units proposed, with a requirement of between
27 – 32 parking spaces. A total of 32 parking spaces are proposed with this request. Most guests are
anticipated to not bring a vehicle to the hotel, but will walk, use taxis or public transportation to access
other areas of the beach and downtown while staying at the hotel. The Trolley traverses Bay Esplanade
and currently picks up guests in front of this site.
Mechanical Equipment – Mechanical equipment will be located on the east and west sides of the
building on the fourth level of hotel rooms (overall Level 5) and will be adequately screened from view
from adjacent properties and rights-of-way by solid screening. The screening of mechanical equipment
will be reviewed at time of the building permit submission.
Sight Visibility Triangles – CDC Section 3-904.A restricts structures and landscaping which will obstruct
views at a level of 30 inches and eight feet above grade within 20-foot sight visibility triangles at
driveways and street intersections. A two-way driveway is proposed on the east side of Bay Esplanade
providing access to the ground-level parking area, as well as a one-way entrance on the west side of Bay
Esplanade. The building is not located within the visibility triangles between 30 inches and eight feet
above grade and planted landscaping will be maintained to meet this requirement. CDC Section 3-904.B
requires a 20-foot waterfront sight visibility triangle at the southeast and southwest corners of the
property. The proposed building does not encroach into the waterfront sight visibility triangles. Only a
non-opaque fence will be provided and no landscaping other than sod will be planted within the
waterfront sight visibility triangles in compliance with this Code provision.
Utilities – For development that does not involve a subdivision, CDC Section 3-912 requires all utilities
including individual distribution lines to be installed underground unless such undergrounding is not
practicable. This site is served by existing overhead utility lines located across Bay Esplanade adjacent to
the hotel under construction at 650 Bay Esplanade, where the applicant is unaware of any requirement
to underground these existing overhead utilities across Bay Esplanade. All on-site utilities serving this
development will be placed underground. Undergrounding of the off-site overhead utilities along the
site frontage is impracticable for this site and should rather be part of an overall, coordinated
undergrounding of overhead utilities project for all affected properties along Bay Esplanade, where
property owners would be assessed the cost of such undergrounding. Due to economies of scale, such
coordinated undergrounding would be less expensive on an overall basis rather than property owners
bearing the full cost of piecemeal undergrounding on an individual basis. The visual effect of piecemeal
undergrounding would also be unappealing. No other property redeveloped under the provisions of the
CDC along Bay Esplanade, or neither any property redeveloped under the provisions of the CDC along
Brightwater Drive, nor any small, individual property in the entire City has been required to
underground similar overhead utilities for their parcel. While undergrounding the overhead utilities for
132 feet may be “feasible”, such would be burdensome financially to the applicant and unfairly
penalizes properties that redevelop in accordance with Code provisions. Those properties that never
redevelop would never be required to underground adjacent overhead utilities, adding to the visually
unappealing visual aspect of overhead utilities. A coordinated approach deals with all affected
properties on an “equal” basis and improves the visual appeal of the entire area for the general welfare
of the public. A coordinated approach has been utilized on other areas of the beach, such as South
Gulfview Boulevard and Coronado Drive.
Landscaping – For developments in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design, the development
requirements set forth in the Old Florida District supersede any conflicting standards in the Design
4
Guidelines of Beach by Design and the Community Development Code (CDC). The Old Florida District
requires a 10-foot landscape buffer along the street frontage of Bay Esplanade. The proposal provides a
10-foot landscape buffer along the street frontage, in compliance with this Old Florida District
requirement. It is important to note that there are otherwise no perimeter buffers required in the T
District for this site, pursuant to CDC Section 3-1202.D. A six-foot high white vinyl fence is proposed
along the east and west sides of the property, except within the waterfront visibility triangles where the
fencing must be non-opaque. A one-foot landscape area is provided along the east and west property
lines due to a required egress sidewalk from the stairwells, as well as the new six-foot high vinyl fence.
The landscape area expands to five feet along the east and west property lines south of the required
stairwell egress sidewalks. A landscape area of a minimum of five feet is provided along the south
property line. Due to Fire Department requirements for access in the event of a fire, only sod is allowed
along the east and west property lines. The landscape buffers along the east and west sides will be
planted with palms, shrubs and ground covers, as allowed by the Fire Department, to soften the building
facades and enhance the visual appeal of this site from the adjacent properties. Flexibility for setbacks
required in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design allow for reduced setbacks where the proposal
results in landscaping in excess of the minimum required. The only landscape buffer required is along
the frontage of Bay Esplanade. Again, since there are no perimeter buffers required in the T District, the
landscape areas along the east, west and south portions of the property could be planted with a
minimum of grass. It is the applicant’s position that the landscaping provided along the street frontage,
as well as the south portion of the site, are being planted in excess of the minimum required landscaping
and therefore justifies the requested reductions to setbacks (also due to Fire Department access
requirements that restrict landscaping to only sod along the east and west sides).
Solid Waste – The proposal includes a trash room within the proposed building. Roll-out dumpsters will
be moved to a dumpster staging area on trash collection days only. The trash staging area will not be
fenced or walled. After the trash is collected by the City, the dumpsters will be returned to the trash
room.
Signage – Only attached signage is proposed with this submittal. All proposed signage will meet all
applicable requirements of the CDC and Beach by Design. If necessary, a Comprehensive Sign Program
will be submitted prior to signage permits.
Compliance with the Standards of Section V.B.2 of Beach By Design for the Allocation of Hotel Units
from the Hotel Density Reserve
1. Those properties and/or developments that have acquired density from the Destination
Resort Density Pool are not eligible to have rooms allocated from the Reserve;
Response: The subject property has not previously received, nor is not requesting such with this
application, density from the Destination Resort Density Pool. Therefore, this criterion is not
applicable to this proposal.
2. Those properties and/or developments that have had density transferred off to another
property and/or development(s) through an approved Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
application by the City after December 31, 2007, are not eligible to have rooms allocated from
the Reserve;
5
Response: The subject property has not had any density transferred to another property and/or
development. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
3. The Hotel Density Reserve shall not be used to render nonconforming density conforming;
Response: The maximum density permissible for overnight accommodations in the Tourist (T)
District is 50 units per acre. Based on this maximum permissible density of 50 units per acre and
a lot area of 0.348 acre, this produces a maximum number of units of 17.4 units. The proposed
Development Agreement requests 10 overnight accommodation units from the Hotel Density
Reserve. The overall density of 27 overnight accommodation units will be 77.6 units per acre,
which is less than the 90 units per acre permitted under the Hotel Density Reserve. Therefore,
this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
4. A maximum of 100 hotel rooms may be allocated from the Reserve to any development with a
lot size less than 2.5 acres. Those developments with a lot size greater than or equal to 2.5
acres may use the Reserve to achieve a density of 90 hotel rooms per acre. However, in no
instance shall the density of a parcel of land exceed 150 units per acre regardless of whether it
has received benefit of transfers of development rights or units through a termination of
status of nonconformity in addition to the Reserve, or not;
Response: The subject site is comprised of two platted lots with a total lot area of 0.348 acre. . A
total of 10 hotel units are requested to be allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve for this
development. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
5. Accessory uses inconsistent with amenities typical of a mid-priced hotel shall require
compliance with the base FAR requirements of the Resort Facilities High (RFH) Future Land
Use category;
Response: Only a small fitness room, restrooms and small open-air bar/grill area are being
provided on the roof level of this overnight accommodation use for use of the hotel guests. A
roof-top pool is provided. Limited food service may be provided for guests only (not open to the
general public). Storage lockers are being provided on hotel levels 3 and 4 to allow recurring
guests to store beach chairs, umbrellas, skim boards and like personal items that will not be
available to general hotel guests. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
6. No hotel room allocated from the Reserve may be converted to a residential use (i.e. attached
dwelling);
Response: The applicant acknowledges the requirement of this criterion. Therefore, this
proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
7. All units in a hotel receiving units from the Reserve shall be made available to the public as
overnight transient hotel guests at all times through the required hotel reservation system.
Occupancy in any hotel receiving units from the Reserve is limited to a term of less than one
(1) month or thirty-one (31) consecutive days, whichever is less and units in such a hotel shall
not be used as a primary or permanent residence;
6
Response: The applicant acknowledges and will comply with the requirement of this criterion
for a hotel reservation system. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
8. No hotel room in a hotel allocated units from the Reserve may have a full kitchen. Mini
kitchens, defined as including reduced sized kitchen appliances, may be permitted;
Response: Only kitchenettes will be provided in all units. Therefore, this proposal is in
compliance with this criterion.
9. The maximum building heights of the various character districts cannot be increased to
accommodate hotel rooms allocated from the Reserve;
Response: The maximum building height in the Old Florida District for Overnight
Accommodation uses is 75 feet. The proposed building height is 75 feet. Therefore, this proposal
is in compliance with this criterion.
10. When both the allocation of hotel rooms from the Reserve and the transfer of development
rights (TDR) are utilized as part of a development, only hotel rooms brought in to the project
through the TDR process are eligible to be constructed above the otherwise maximum
building height, but only provided that all TDR criteria are met;
Response: The maximum building height in the Old Florida District for Overnight
Accommodation uses is 75 feet. The proposed building height is 75 feet. There are no units
being brought into the project through the TDR process, therefore this criterion is not applicable
to this proposal.
11. A legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the overnight
accommodation use will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes
Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center;
Response: The applicant will comply with this criterion prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
12. Access to overnight accommodation units must be provided through a lobby and internal
corridors;
Response: An office/registration desk and lobby/seating area is provided on the first level of the
hotel units on the west side (Level 2) and all hotel units are accessed through internal corridors.
Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
13. All hotel rooms obtained from the Reserve that are not constructed shall be returned to the
Reserve;
Response: The applicant acknowledges the requirement of this criterion. Therefore, this
proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
14. The development shall comply with the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO)
countywide approach to the application of concurrency management for transportation
7
facilities, and the transportation analysis conducted for the development shall include the
following:

Recognition of the MPO designation of “Constrained Facilities” as set forth in the most
current MPO Annual Level of Service Report.
Response: A Traffic Impact Study has been submitted and is in compliance with adopted Levels
of Service. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
15. A reservation system shall be required as an integral part of the hotel use and there shall be a
lobby/front desk area that must be operated as a typical lobby/front desk area for a hotel
would be operated; and
Response: An office/front desk for check-in of guests has been provided on the first level of the
hotel rooms (Level 2), along with a lobby and seating. A reservation system will be utilized as
part of this hotel. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance with this criterion.
16. The books and records pertaining to use of each hotel room shall be open for inspection by
authorized representatives of the City, upon reasonable notice, in order to confirm
compliance with these regulations as allowed by general law.
Response: The applicant will comply with this criterion. Therefore, this proposal is in compliance
with this criterion.

657 & 663 Bay Esplanade
Beach by Design Criteria
Conformance with the Design Guidelines, intended to be administered in a flexible manner to achieve
the highest quality built environment for Clearwater Beach, is discussed below. The Design Guidelines
are not intended to serve as regulations requiring specific relief, except with regard to building height
and spacing between buildings exceeding 100 feet in height. This project lies within the Old Florida
District of Beach by Design, where the development requirements set forth in the Old Florida District
supersede any conflicting standards in the Design Guidelines and the Community Development Code
(CDC).
Section A – Density
Design Response:
The maximum density permissible for overnight accommodations in the Tourist (T) District is 50 units
per acre. Based on this maximum permissible density of 50 units per acre and a lot area of 0.348 acre,
this produces a maximum number of units of 17.4 units. The proposed Development Agreement
requests 10 overnight accommodation units from the Hotel Density Reserve. The overall density of 27
overnight accommodation units will be 77.6 units per acre, which is less than the 90 units per acre
permitted under the Hotel Density Reserve. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section B – Height and Separation
Design Response:
Section B.1 – Height
The Design Guidelines provide that a height up to 150 feet may be permitted where additional density is
allocated to the development either by TDRs, or via the Destination Resort Density Pool, or via the Hotel
Density Reserve with location standards. However, the Old Florida District of Beach by Design restricts
the height of an overnight accommodation use to a maximum of 75 feet. The proposal includes a
building height of 75 feet to the top of roof deck from BFE for the flat roofed restrooms, fitness room,
architectural grid pergola and tent structure on the roof level of the proposed building, where the
proposed overnight accommodation building height does not exceed that permissible in the Old Florida
District. Therefore, this Guideline is being met by this proposal.
Section B.2 – Separation
The Design Guidelines require that portions of any structures which exceed 100 feet in height are
spaced at least 100 feet apart and also provide for overall separation requirements for all buildings
which exceed 100 feet in height. The maximum building height in the Old Florida District for overnight
accommodations is 75 feet and the proposal is for 75 feet. Therefore, this Guideline is not applicable to
the proposal.
Section B.3 – Floor Plate
The Design Guidelines require the floorplate of any building exceeding 45 feet in height, with the
exception of parking levels, be no greater than 25,000 square feet and also requires reduced floorplates
exceeding 100 feet in height. The largest floorplate above 45 feet is approximately 6,500 square feet
2
and there is no portion of the building above 100 feet above BFE. Therefore, this Guideline is not
applicable to the proposal.
Section C – Design, Scale and Building Mass
Design Response:
Section C.1 – Building Dimensions
The Design Guidelines require buildings with a footprint of greater than 5,000 square feet or a single
dimension greater than 100 feet be constructed so that no more than the two of the three building
dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. The proposed building footprint is
approximately 7,100 square feet. The proposed building is less than 100 feet in length along the east
and west sides. The north and south sides exceed an overall building dimension of over 100 feet. The
height is 75 feet. The proposal has been designed utilizing multiple dimensions to ensure that no more
than two of the three building dimensions in the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length.
Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section C.2 – Building Plane Length
The Design Guidelines require no plane or elevation to continue uninterrupted for greater than 100 feet
without an offset of more than 100 feet. No portion of the proposed building façade continues for more
than 100 feet, except for along the south building line where unenclosed balconies are proposed. The
applicant desires the balconies to be uniform in depth to ensure all units have an equal depth of the
balcony and for construction efficiencies. The building incorporates a series of articulation of the
fenestration with various horizontal dimensions of the façade, where only the southern building facade
exceeds 100 feet. Conformance with the Design Guidelines, intended to be administered in a flexible
manner to achieve the highest quality built environment for Clearwater Beach, is discussed below. The
Design Guidelines are not intended to serve as regulations requiring specific relief, except with regard to
building height and spacing between buildings exceeding 100 feet in height. Therefore, it is the
applicant’s position that this provision is supported by this proposal. This Design Guideline will be more
fully addressed when a Flexible Development (FLD) application is submitted for Community
Development Board (CDB) approval.
Section C.3 – Windows and Building Decoration
The Design Guidelines require at least 60 percent of any elevation to be covered with windows or
architectural decoration. The front (north) elevation proposes 68% coverage, the east and west side
elevations propose 23% coverage and the rear (south) elevation proposes 65% coverage. All elevations
will comply with this guideline for glazing and building decoration and will be reviewed in more detail at
the Flexible Development (FLD) application stage. Again, the Design Guidelines are not intended to serve
as regulations requiring specific relief. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section C.4 – Building Envelope
The Design Guidelines provides that no more than 60 percent of the theoretical maximum building
envelope located above 45 feet will be occupied by a building. The proposal is for six levels of units
above ground level parking with a building height of 75 feet. That area above 45 feet represents less
than 60 percent of theoretical maximum building envelope. Therefore, this provision is supported by
this proposal.
3
Section C.5 – Building Height and Mass Correlation
The Design Guidelines require that the height and mass of buildings be correlated to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel and (2) adjacent public spaces such as streets and parks. The adjacent
Bay Esplanade right-of-way width is 60 feet. The closest point of the building to the front (north)
property line is 16 feet, which is stairwells and office/lobby/utility rooms. The enclosed hallway and
veranda to the units for Levels 2 – 4 and the veranda for Level 5 is set back a minimum of 19 feet from
the front property line. The interior corridors accessing units on Levels 5 – 7 is set back 31 feet from the
front property line. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section C.6 – Mix of Uses
The Design Guidelines permit buildings to be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of permitted uses.
The proposal is for a single use: overnight accommodations. Therefore, this provision is supported by
this proposal.
Section D – Setbacks and Stepbacks
Design Response:
Section D.1 – Rights-of-way
The Design Guidelines provide for the distances from structures to the edge of the right-of-way should
be 12 feet along local streets. For developments in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design, the
development requirements set forth in the Old Florida District supersede any conflicting standards in
the Design Guidelines of Beach by Design and the Community Development Code (CDC). The minimum
required setbacks in the Old Florida District include a front setback of 15 feet for all properties, except
for properties fronting on Mandalay Avenue and a side and rear setback of 10 feet, except for properties
fronting on Mandalay Avenue. Except for properties fronting on Mandalay Avenue, a maximum
reduction of five feet from any required setback may be possible if the decreased setback results in an
improved site plan, landscaping areas in excess of the minimum and/or improved design and
appearance, a minimum five-foot side setback is provided to allow for unimpaired/unobstructed access
to mechanical features of the building and setbacks may be decreased if additional setbacks or
stepbacks are provided. The proposed building is designed at a 16-foot setback to the front (north)
property line of Bay Esplanade. The proposal includes a reduction to the front (north) setback from 15
feet to 10 feet (to pavement). A proposed/required trash staging area is located at a zero setback to the
front (north) property line. City staff has determined the setbacks required in the Old Florida District
were for building and pavement setbacks, which do not apply to the necessary and required trash
staging area. The site design provides adequate setbacks and landscape areas to meet design challenges.
The Old Florida District requires a 10-foot landscape buffer along the street frontage of Bay Esplanade,
which this proposal meets. The landscape buffer along the Bay Esplanade street frontage will be planted
with palm and accent trees, shrubs and groundcovers to soften the facade of this building and enhance
the visual appeal of this site to pedestrians and vehicular traffic, while respecting sight visibility triangle
requirements. The proposed building will offer a coastal modern architectural design with multiple
balconies and wide expanses of windows and doors that enhance the building appearance. Therefore,
this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section D.2 – Side and Rear Setbacks
The Design Guidelines provide that, except for the side and rear setbacks set forth elsewhere in Beach
by Design, no side or rear setback lines are recommended, except as may be required to comply with
the City’s Fire Code. For developments in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design, the development
4
requirements set forth in the Old Florida District supersede any conflicting standards in the Design
Guidelines of Beach by Design and the Community Development Code (CDC). The minimum required
setbacks in the Old Florida District include a side and rear setback of 10 feet, except for properties
fronting on Mandalay Avenue. Except for properties fronting on Mandalay Avenue, a maximum
reduction of five feet from any required setback may be possible if the decreased setback results in an
improved site plan, landscaping areas in excess of the minimum and/or improved design and
appearance, a minimum five-foot side setback is provided to allow for unimpaired/unobstructed access
to mechanical features of the building and setbacks may be decreased if additional stepbacks are
provided. The proposal includes a reduction to the side (east) setback from 10 feet to five feet to the
building stairwell and ground floor pavement, and to one-foot for a required egress sidewalk from the
stairwell. The proposal includes a reduction to the side (west) setback from 10 feet to five feet (to
pavement and the building stairwell) and to one-foot (to a required egress sidewalk from the stairwell).
Finally, the proposal includes a 10-foot rear (south) setback to the building, with a reduction from 10
feet to five feet for the pavement only. The site design provides adequate setbacks and landscape areas
to meet the design challenges of the site. A six-foot high white vinyl fence is proposed along the east
and west sides of the property, except where within the waterfront visibility triangles where the fencing
must be non-opaque. This parcel has an east/west orientation requiring a building stepback on the east
or west side (Section 3.c of the Old Florida District of Beach by Design). A building stepback, based on
the proposed building height above 35 feet above Base Flood Elevation (BFE), of 10.8 feet is required
and provided on the west side, meeting the requirements of the Old Florida District. The reduction to
the rear (south) setback is for parking spaces only on the ground level (a minimum of a five-foot
setback). There are no perimeter buffers required in the T District for this site, pursuant to CDC Section
3-1202.D. However, the Old Florida District requires a 10-foot landscape buffer along Bay Esplanade,
which is being provided with this proposal. A one-foot landscape area is provided along the east and
west sides of the property where the required egress sidewalks are located, which expands to five feet
to the south of the sidewalks. The areas south of the egress sidewalks will be planted with sod only to
comply with Fire Department requirements for access). A five-foot wide landscape area is provided
along the south property (which will be planted with palms, shrubs and groundcover. The north and
south sides of the project will be planted with palms, shrubs and groundcovers to soften views of the
building. Flexibility for setbacks required in the Old Florida District of Beach by Design allow for reduced
setbacks where the proposal results in landscaping in excess of the minimum required. Again, the only
landscape buffer required is along the frontage of Bay Esplanade and no perimeter buffers are required
in the T District. The landscape areas along the east, west and south portions of the property could be
planted with a minimum of grass. It is the applicant’s position that the landscaping provided along the
street frontage, as well as the south portion of the site, are being planted in excess of the minimum
required landscaping and therefore justifies the requested reductions to side and rear setbacks. The
restrictions by the Fire Department to sod only for access along the east and west portions of the site
are trumping the ability to provide additional landscaping in these areas. The proposed building will
offer a coastal modern architectural design with multiple balconies and wide expanses of windows and
doors that enhance the building appearance. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section D.3 – Coronado Drive Setbacks and Stepbacks
The Design Guidelines address setbacks and stepbacks along Coronado and Hamden Drives for projects
utilizing the hotel density reserve to reduce upper story massing along the street and ensure a human
scale street environment. The site does not front on Coronado or Hamden Drives. Therefore this
Guideline is not applicable to the proposal.
5
Section E – Street-Level Facades
Design Response:
Section E.1 – Openness
The Design Guidelines require at least 60 percent of the street level facades of buildings used for
nonresidential purposes which abut a public street or pedestrian access way will include windows or
doors that allow pedestrians to see into the building, or landscaped or hardscaped courtyards or plazas.
In addition, parking structures should utilize architectural details and design elements such as false
recessed windows, arches, planter boxes, metal grillwork, etc. instead of transparent alternatives. When
a parking garage abuts a public road, it will be designed such that the function of the building is not
readily apparent except at points of ingress and egress. Visually, much of the front area is dedicated to
vehicular and pedestrian access. The site design incorporates a landscape area along Bay Esplanade to
be planted with palms, accent trees and shrubs to visually enhance this pedestrian experience of this
site. The ground floor parking structure will utilize architectural details, planter boxes and metal
grillwork to enhance ground level views from Bay Esplanade, which will be more fully reviewed at the
Flexible Development (FLD) approval process by the Community Development Board (CDB) and at the
building permit stages. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section E.2 – Window Coverage
The Design Guidelines provide that window coverings or other opaque materials may cover no more
than 10 percent of the area of any street-level window that fronts on a public right-of-way. There are no
proposed windows on the ground level. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section E.3 – Building Entrances
The Design Guidelines require that building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and easily
identified. The entrance to the overnight accommodations is at the elevator, which may be enhanced
with an awning over the entrance. This will be more fully reviewed at the Flexible Development (FLD)
approval process by the Community Development Board (CDB) and at the building permit stages.
Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section F – Parking Areas
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to parking areas and the screening of such. Visually, much
of the front area is dedicated to vehicular and pedestrian access. The site design incorporates a
landscape area along Bay Esplanade to be planted with palms, accent trees and shrubs to visually
enhance this pedestrian experience of this site, while complying with the sight visibility triangle
requirements. The ground floor parking structure will utilize architectural details, planter boxes and
metal grillwork to enhance ground level views from Bay Esplanade, which will be more fully reviewed at
the Flexible Development (FLD) approval process by the Community Development Board (CDB) and at
the building permit stages. Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section G – Signage
Design Response:
6
The Design Guidelines address issues related to signage. Only attached signage is anticipated with this
development. A sign package is otherwise not included with this submittal. All proposed signage will
meet all applicable requirements of the CDC and Beach by Design. If necessary, a Comprehensive Sign
Program will be submitted prior to signage permits.
Section H – Sidewalks
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to sidewalks and provides that all sidewalks along arterials
and retail streets should be at least 10 feet in width and requires palm trees with at least an eight-foot
clear trunk to be planted at a maximum of 35-foot centers. There is no discussion regarding local streets.
Bay Esplanade is a local street. The proposal will construct a five-foot wide sidewalk for the site
frontage. Therefore this Guideline is not applicable to the proposal.
Section I – Street Furniture and Bicycle Racks
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to street furniture and bicycle racks. No street furniture is
proposed with this development, as this is a local street. A bicycle rack is provided, located by the
building entrance to the elevator, which will be more fully reviewed at the Flexible Development (FLD)
approval process by the Community Development Board (CDB) and at the building permit stages.
Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.
Section J – Street Lighting
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to street lighting. No additional street lighting is proposed
with this application. Therefore, this Guidelie is not applicable to the proposal.
Section K – Fountains
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to fountains. No fountain is proposed with this
development. Therefore, this Guideline is not applicable to the proposal.
Section L – Materials and Color
Design Response:
The Design Guidelines address issues related to materials and color. The proposed overnight
accommodations building offer a coastal modern architectural style. The finish materials and building
colors of the building facade will support the beach theme and the Color Palate in the Design Guideline.
Therefore, this provision is supported by this proposal.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the Clearwater Community Development Code establishing the
Foreclosure Property Registry, procedures for registration and enforcement, and annual
registration fee and pass Ordinance 8996-17 on first reading. (TA2016-12004)
SUMMARY:
Since 2006, a significant number of properties have gone through foreclosure in the City of
Clearwater. At present, there are over 700 properties in active foreclosure and 256 owned by
banks. Because many properties in the foreclosure process often become neglected and /or
unsecured, they can have serious negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and
create conditions which invite criminal activity and foster an unsafe and unhealthy environment
for children. Due to the difficulty in determining the party responsible for maintenance during
foreclosure, the Planning and Development Department is proposing the establishment of a
foreclosure registry.
Proposed Ordinance 8996-17 requires that within 10 days of the filing of a lis pendens the
mortgagee shall register the property with the City and provide contact information for a local
property management company responsible for maintaining the property. This information will
enable the City to have direct contact with the party responsible for:
·the security and maintenance of the property;
·decisions concerning the abatement of nuisance conditions at the property; and
·expenditures to correct violations.
Any unoccupied or vacant property subject to the ordinance must also maintain a visible
posting on the structure with the name and all-hour contact number of the mortgagee’s local
agent.
A property registration and the associated $200 fee is valid for one year. If the mortgage on a
registered property is sold or transferred, the new mortgagee is responsible for obtaining a
new registration and paying the requisite fee.
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
January 17, 2017 and unanimously recommended approval of the amendment, with one
change eliminating the required sign posting for occupied properties. The revision has been
integrated into the attached ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA,
CREATING SECTION 3-1505, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CODE TO BE ENTITLED, “FORECLOSURE PROPERTY
REGISTRY”; PROVIDING FOR PURPOSE, INTENT AND
APPLICABILITY OF THE ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE
REGISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN REAL
PROPERTY BY MORTGAGEES; PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES
AND ENFORCEMENT, AS WELL AS THE REGULATION,
LIMITATION AND REDUCTION OF REGISTRABLE REAL
PROPERTY WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY; CREATING
APPENDIX A, SECTION XIX., “FORECLOSURE PROPERTY
REGISTRY,” PROVIDING FOR AN ANNUAL REGISTRATION
FEE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to protect the public health, safety and welfare
of the citizens of the City of Clearwater and maintain a high quality of life for the citizens of
the City through the maintenance of structures and properties in the City; and
WHEREAS, the mortgage foreclosure crisis of 2008 continues to have serious
negative implications for all communities trying to manage the consequences of properties
that have defaulted mortgages, are in the foreclosure process, foreclosed upon and/or
mortgagee owned; and
WHEREAS, properties with defaulted mortgages that are neglected and have
unsecured, accessible structures have a negative impact on community value, create
conditions that invite criminal activity, and foster an unsafe and unhealthy environment for
children; and
WHEREAS, often times, the foreclosing party or property owners are out of state,
and there is no local contact for such a property, which makes it difficult to notify the proper
party of the violations of the City Community Development Code (“Code”), and to maintain
the requisite level of maintenance and security on such structures or lots; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes an increase in the number of properties with
defaulted mortgages and subject to foreclosure action or foreclosed upon, (“registrable
properties”) located throughout the City which lead to a decline in property value, create
nuisances and lead to a general decrease in neighborhood and community aesthetic; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has already adopted property maintenance codes to
regulate building standards for the exterior of structures and the condition of the property as
a whole; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that in the best interests of public health,
safety and welfare a more regulated method is needed to discourage registrable property
Ordinance No. 8996-17
owners and mortgagees from allowing their properties to be abandoned, neglected or left
unsupervised; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has a vested interest in protecting neighborhoods
against decay caused by registrable property and concludes that it is in the best interests of
the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens and residents to impose registration
requirements of registrable property located within the City to discourage registrable
property owners and mortgagees from allowing Code violations to accumulate; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend the City’s Code in order to establish a
property registration process that will identify a contact person to address safety and
aesthetic concerns to minimize the negative impact and conditions that occur as a result of
vacancy, absentee ownership and the foreclosure process; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
Section 1. Section 3-1505, Clearwater Community Development Code is hereby

abandoned building, the mortgagee shall register the property.
2. If the property is found by the City to be vacant or is consistent with the definition
of an abandoned building, the mortgagee shall register the property within fifteen
(15) calendar days of notice by the City. The process for registration under this

maintain and secure the property and to post and maintain the signage specified
is a violation of the Code and may be subject to enforcement by any means
available to the City. Pursuant to a finding and determination, the City of
Clearwater may take the necessary action to ensure compliance with its
ordinances and place a lien(s) on the property and assign it as provided herein.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 17, 2017
AGENDA ITEM: F. 1.
CASE: TA2016-12004
ORDINANCE NO.: 8996-17
REQUEST: Review and recommendation to the City Council, of the
establishment of a foreclosure property registry and associated fee.
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater, Planning and Development Department
BACKGROUND:
Since 2006, a total of 7,682 properties have gone through foreclosure in the City of Clearwater
and a total of 4,391 have been repossessed by banks according to data collected by Community
Champions. At present, there are 747 properties in active foreclosure and 256 owned by banks.
While nationwide foreclosure activity has decreased, the month-over-month increase in October
2016 was the biggest monthly increase since August 2007. According to ATTOM Data
Solutions October 2016 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, Florida foreclosure activity is expected
to increase in the coming months given “the October ruling by the state supreme court there that
allows lenders to re-file a foreclosure action against a homeowner in default even if a previous
foreclosure case against that homeowner was dismissed and that original foreclosure case was
filed more than five years ago, outside the state’s statute of limitations for foreclosure.”
Properties that are foreclosed, vacant or abandoned cause the City of Clearwater to suffer
increased property maintenance concerns, declining home values, health and safety issues, and
tax-revenue losses. These results have stressed the Planning and Development Department’s
resources and have caused many properties to go unaddressed.
ANALYSIS:
In order to address the myriad of issues associated with properties in foreclosure, the Planning
and Development Department is proposing the creation of a foreclosure property registry which
will help Staff identify these properties and the parties responsible for them. This will enable the
City to identify and monitor property concerns, increase property compliance and restore lost
revenue.
Planning & Development Department Community Development Code Text Amendment Code Compliance Division
Community Development Board – January 17, 2017
TA2016-12004 – Page 2
Proposed Ordinance No. 8996-17 establishes a new division in the Community Development
Code at Section 3-1505 entitled “Foreclosure Property Registry.” The purpose and intent of the
Foreclosure Property Registry is to proactively identify blighted and deteriorated housing and
ensure the rehabilitation or elimination of housing that does not meet minimum building or
housing code standards and/or exterior or site maintenance standards. It is the goal of the
ordinance to create a healthy, safe, and crime-free environment, and further preserve and
enhance property values and quality of life for citizens.
The Foreclosure Property Registry requires registration of properties by the mortgagee within 10
days of initiating the foreclosure process, within 15 days if found to be vacant by the City, or
within 45 days for existing registrable properties following the effective date of the ordinance.
The registration fee is $200, which must be paid annually until the property is sold or is
occupied.
All registrations must contain contact information for the party with authority to make decisions
and who is responsible for the security and maintenance of the registered property, and this
contact information is required to be posted at the property. Failure to register or comply with
any part of the Foreclosure Property Registry is subject to enforcement by any means available
to the City, most likely via issuance of a Notice to Appear or before the Municipal Code
Enforcement Board.
The Planning and Development Department intends to partner with a foreclosure registry
administrator, which provides people, processes, and technology to administer the Foreclosure
Property Registry. The administrator will assist the City in the following manner:
Collect the $200 fee established by the registry;
Proactively identify noncompliant registrations;
Establish responsible party relationships and confirms reliable available contacts;
Ensure quality of registration data;
Notify responsible parties regarding non-compliant properties within the City;
Escalate non-compliance concerns when necessary; and
Collaboratively and aggressively pursue registration noncompliance.
For these services, the administrator will retain a portion of each registration fee and remit the
remainder to the City. Proposed Ordinance No. 8996-17 restricts the use of those revenues to
nuisance abatement purposes related to abandoned building, unsafe structure, unsecured
properties and demolition.
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.
Planning & Development Department Community Development Code Text Amendment Code Compliance Division
Community Development Board – January 17, 2017
TA2016-12004 – Page 3
A review of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan identified the following Goals, Objectives
and Policies which will be furthered by the proposed CDC amendments:
Objective A.6.1 The redevelopment of blighted, substandard, inefficient and/or obsolete
areas shall be a high priority and promoted through the implementation of
redevelopment and special area plans, the construction of catalytic private
projects, city investment, and continued emphasis on property
maintenance standards.
Policy A.6.1.11 The City of Clearwater will continue to promote infill development and
the removal of blight through the Unsafe Structures Program.
Objective C.1.3 Objective for Housing Conditions - The City of Clearwater shall
encourage the elimination of substandard housing units through
demolition, upgrades, renovation and preservation efforts.
Policy C.1.3.3 The City shall continue to monitor and evaluate factors which contribute
to neighborhood stability and adopt strategies for neighborhood
preservation.
Policy C.1.3.6 Encourage voluntary, private rehabilitation of owner occupied and rental
housing units.
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:
Sec. 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.
Sec. 1-103 B.3. Strengthening the city's economy and increasing its tax base as a whole.
Sec. 1-103 D. It is the further purpose of this Development Code to make the
beautification of the city a matter of the highest priority and to require
that existing and future uses and structures in the city are attractive and
well-maintained to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Sec. 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.
The amendments proposed by this ordinance will further the above referenced purposes by
implementing the aforementioned Goal, Objectives and Policy of the Comprehensive Plan; by
establishing a Foreclosure Property Registry that will result in proactive identification of
Planning & Development Department Community Development Code Text Amendment Code Compliance Division
Community Development Board – January 17, 2017
TA2016-12004 – Page 4
foreclosed and blighted properties and providing an enforcement mechanism to require
responsible parties to bring properties into compliance with the Code.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendment to the Community Development Code is consistent with and will
further the goals 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. 8996-17 that amends the Community Development
Code.
