Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM
8. Administrative Public Hearings
8.1 Adopt Ordinance 9193-18 on second reading, declaring the Millage Rate to be levied for
the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending September 30, 2019, for
operating purposes including the funding of pensions, debt services and road
maintenance for capital improvement expenditures at 5.9550 mills.
Ordinance 9193-18 was presented and read in full.
Six individuals spoke in opposition.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to amend the millage rate to 5.550 mills
(increasing it by 0.4 mills). The motion failed for lack of a second.
Discussion ensued with comments made that a 0.4 millage increase this
year will require 0.3 millage increase in three years (and again in another
three years), that the proposed millage rate is predicated on a moderate
percentage growth and takes into account the proposed additional
homestead exemption, and that other area municipalities have increased
their millage in past years. It was stated that staff presented an alternative
plan that outlined a 0.4 millage increase this year that did not require any
cuts this fiscal year or provide any contributions towards the reserve
balance.
Vice Mayor Caudell moved to adopt Ordinance 9193-18 on second and
final reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the
vote was:
Ayes: 3 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Caudell and Councilmember Allbritton
Nays: 1 - Councilmember Cundiff
Motion carried.
8.2 Adopt Ordinance 9194-18 on second reading, adopting an operating budget for the
Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending September 30, 2019, authorizing the
City Manager to issue such instructions that are necessary to achieve and accomplish the
service programs so authorized; authorizing the City Manager to transfer monies and
programs among the departments and activities within any fund as provided by Chapter 2
of the Clearwater Code of Ordinances.

8.4 Continue to 10/4/2018: Approve a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the
Commercial General (CG) category to the Residential Medium (RM) category for 1434 and
1446 North Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, and pass Ordinance 9176-18 on first reading.
(LUP2018-06005)
This Future Land Use Map amendment application involves a 0.3-acre property
comprised of two parcels located at the southwest corner of North Martin Luther
King Jr. Avenue and Grant Street. The property is owned by Tampa Bay
Community Development Corporation which provides education, counseling,
and housing opportunities to revitalize neighborhoods for low to moderate
income households. The applicant is requesting to amend the Future Land Use
Map designation of the subject property from Commercial General (CG) to
Residential Medium (RM) to develop the parcels with two detached dwellings
(affordable housing units). The applicant has submitted a Zoning Atlas
Amendment request to rezone the property from the Commercial (C) District to
the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District which is being processed
concurrently with this case (REZ2018-06003).
Page 6
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2018
The proposed Residential Medium (RM) category allows moderate to high
density residential uses and would permit development at a density of 15
dwelling units per acre. The requested amendment would allow the site to be
developed with residential units through a Level I process as either a Minimum
Standard development or Flexible Standard development (FLS) application.
The Planning & Development Department has determined that the proposed
Future Land Use Map amendment is consistent with the provisions of the
Community Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Countywide Plan Rules.
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• Sufficient public facilities are available to serve the property.
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the
natural environment.
• The proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the use of
property in the immediate area.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, this land use plan amendment
is subject to the approval of Forward Pinellas, in its role as the Pinellas Planning
Council, and the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide
Planning Authority. The application is a small-scale amendment so review and
approval by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is not required.
The Community Development Board will review the application at its October 2,
2018 public hearing and make a recommendation to the Council. The Planning
and Development Department will report the recommendation at the city council
meeting.
Councilmember Cundiff move to continue Item 8.4 to October 4,
2018. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
8.5 Continue to 10/4/18: Approve a Zoning Atlas Amendment from the Commercial (C)
District to the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District for 1434 and 1446 North Martin
Luther King Jr. Avenue, and pass Ordinance 9177-18 on first reading. (REZ2018-06003)
This Zoning Atlas amendment application involves a 0.3-acre property
comprised of two parcels located at the southwest corner of North Martin Luther
King Jr. Avenue and Grant Street. The property is owned by Tampa Bay
Community Development Corporation which provides education, counseling,
and housing opportunities to revitalize neighborhoods for low to moderate

income households. The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property
from the Commercial (C) District to the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
District to develop the parcels with two detached dwellings (affordable housing
units). The applicant has submitted a Future Land Use Map amendment which
is being processed concurrently with this case (see case LUP2018-06005).
The proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) District will allow the site to
be developed with residential uses through a Level I process as either a
Minimum Standard development or Flexible Standard development (FLS)
application and is consistent with the surrounding zoning districts that exist in
the vicinity of the subject property.
The Planning & Development Department has determined that the proposed
Zoning Atlas amendment is consistent with the Community Development Code
as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Development Code.
• The proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• The available uses in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) District are
compatible with the surrounding area.
• The proposed amendment will not adversely burden public facilities,
including the traffic-carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or
disproportionate manner.
• The proposed Medium Density Residential (MDR) District boundary is
appropriately drawn in regard to location and classification of streets,
ownership lines, existing improvements, and the natural environment.
The Community Development Board will review the application at its October 2,
2018 public hearing and make a recommendation to the Council. The Planning
and Development Department will report the recommendation at the City
Council meeting.
Councilmember Allbritton moved to continue to Item 8.5 to
October 4, 2018. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
8.6 Continue to 10/4/2018: Deny a Future Land Use Map Amendment from the
Residential/Office General (R/OG) and Residential Urban (RU) categories to the
Institutional (1) category for 1510 Barry Road; and do not pass Ordinance 9150-18 on first
reading. (LUP2018-02002)
This Future Land Use Map amendment involves 2.137 acres consisting of three
Page 8
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2018
parcels located on the north side of Barry Road approximately 650 feet east of
South Highland Avenue. The property is owned by 1510 Barry Holdings LLC and
is occupied by vacant buildings totaling 26,238 square feet with ancillary
off-street parking that was last used as an office (Tampa Bay Computer
Society) in 2015. The proposed amendment area has frontage on Barry Road
(430 feet) and Jeffords Street terminates at the northeast corner of the site. The
applicant is requesting to change the Future Land Use Map designation of the
proposed amendment area from Residential/Office General (R/OG) and
Residential Urban (RU) to Institutional (1). The requested amendment would
allow the property to be redeveloped with a variety of institutional uses, including
a half-way house use, which the applicant has indicated is the intent; however,
no site plan is in review at this time. The applicant has submitted a Zoning Atlas
amendment (REZ2018-02001) which is being processed concurrently with this
case.
The proposed Institutional (1) future land use category allows a mix of
institutional uses, and primarily permits nonresidential development at an
intensity of 0.65 FAR. Residential development is permitted at a density of 12.5
dwelling units per acre, and residential equivalent uses are allowed at 3 beds
per permitted dwelling unit.
The property has two prior site plan approvals (FLD2013-02003,
FLD2016-11036) for an educational facility and an assisted living facility (ALF),
respectively. Unfortunately, the owner and/or applicant has failed to submit for
building permits in the time required and the approvals have expired or building
permits issued have been later voided. The property has multiple active
violations including a stop work order (SWO2018-03025), unsafe building
(UNS2018-00006), and public nuisance (PNU2018-00181 and PNU2017-01340)
and is actively accruing liens on some of the violations.
The immediate area is developed with single-family houses (abutting the
subject property and in the area), several ALFs and offices. This site is in the
transitional area from the more intense commercial designations and uses to
the west along South Highland Avenue to the lower density residential
neighborhood to the east. The Residential/Office General (R/OG) future land
use category that is the primary designation of the subject property and the two
consistent zoning districts [Office (0) District, which is the current zoning
designation of the majority of the site, and the Medium Density Residential
(MDR) District] allow for development and uses that are appropriate in this
transition area from more intense commercial to less intense residential uses,
especially on local streets such as Barry Road or Jeffords Street, and are in
character with the single family residential neighborhood to the east of the
property.
Page 9
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes September 20, 2018
The proposed Institutional (1) category is not appropriately located and the
request is not compatible with the surrounding area and may unreasonably
affect the use of the properties in the area. There is not a need to add
institutionally designated property within this area and doing so on this property
would ultimately lead to "spot zoning", which is a term applied to amending only
one or a few lots, at the expense of the zoning scheme as a whole.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
Future Land Use Map amendment is inconsistent with the provisions of the
Clearwater Community Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
• The proposed amendment is incompatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• The proposed amendment will have an adverse impact on the use of
property in the immediate area.
It is acknowledged that the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment will not
adversely impact the natural environment, and there are sufficient public
facilities are available to serve the property. However, institutional uses typically
generate more traffic than residential uses like those in the immediate area, and
the addition of trips may impact Barry Road and Jeffords Streets, the two local
roads providing access to the site. Properties with Institutional (1) designations
in the larger surrounding area are along South Highland Avenue and Lakeview
Road, both collector roads. Additionally, although the proposed amendment is
consistent with the purpose of the proposed category in the Countywide Rules,
the proposed designation of the subject property is inconsistent with the
designations on the surrounding properties.
In accordance with the Countywide Plan Rules, this land use plan amendment
is subject to the approval of Forward Pinellas, in its role as the Pinellas Planning
Council, and the Board of County Commissioners acting as the Countywide
Planning Authority. The application is a small-scale amendment so review and
approval by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and other state
agencies is not required.
The Community Development Board will review this application at its October 2,
2018 public hearing and staff will provide an update with their recommendation
at the City Council meeting.
Vice Mayor Caudell moved to continue Item 8.6 to October 4,
2018. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.

8.7 Continue to 10/4/2018: Deny a request to amend the Zoning Atlas designation from
Office (0) and Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) Districts to Institutional (1) District;
and do not pass Ordinance 9151-18 on first reading. (REZ2018-02001)
This Zoning Atlas amendment involves 2.137 acres consisting of three parcels
located on the north side of Barry Road approximately 650 feet east of South

to the east. The Office (0) District that is the primary designation of the subject
property allows for development and uses that are appropriate in this transition
area and is in character with the single-family residential neighborhood to the
east of the property.
The proposed Institutional (1) District is not appropriately located and the request
is not compatible with the surrounding area and may unreasonably affect the
use of the properties in the area. While certain permitted uses may be
compatible with the single-family uses in the area, these same uses are also
already permitted through the existing Office (0) District. There is not a need to
Page 11
City of Clearwater

add institutionally designated property within this area and doing so on this
property would be "spot zoning," which is a term applied to the rezoning of only
one or a few lots, at the expense of the zoning scheme as a whole.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
Zoning amendment is inconsistent with the provisions of the Clearwater
Community Development Code as specified below:
• The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Community Development Code.
• The proposed amendment is incompatible with the surrounding property
and character of the neighborhood.
• The available uses in the Institutional (1) District are not compatible with
the surrounding area.
It is acknowledged that the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment will not adversely
burden most public facilities in an unreasonably or disproportionate manner.
However, institutional uses typically generate more traffic than residential uses
like those in the immediate area, and the addition of trips may affect may impact
the traffic-carrying capacities of Barry Road and Jeffords Streets, the two local

in the larger surrounding area are along South Highland Avenue and Lakeview
Road, both collector roads. Additionally, although the proposed Institutional (1)
District boundary is appropriately drawn in regard to location and classification
of streets, ownership lines, existing improvements, and the natural environment,
the proposed rezoning would result in spot zoning which would be inconsistent
with the neighborhood and would change the zoning pattern for a speculative
use.
The Community Development Board will review this application at its October 2,
2018 public hearing and staff will provide an update with their recommendation
at the City Council meeting.
Councilmember Cundiff moved to continue Item 8.7 to October 4,
2018. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
