DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
THIS DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS ("Declaration") is

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 the
16
benefit of the residents of the City and shall be enforceable on behalf of said residents by the City
Council of the City.

agrees to the development, use and operation of the Real Property in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration.

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

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.

building permits required to build the project ("Project") and Developer's commencement of

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.
