The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the purposes of the Community Development Code and other City ordinances and actions designed to implement the Plan. The proposed rezoning MDR is more compatible with surrounding residential uses than the existing church. 2. The available uses to which the property may be put are appropriate to the property which is subject to the proposed amendment and compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. The rezoning will allow residential users which are compatible with surrounding properties. The existing Institutional zoning allows a wide variety of uses. 3. The amendment does not conflict with the needs and character of the neighborhood and city. The neighborhood is characterized by single family residential uses. The proposed rezoning will allow for single family residential uses, density will be compatible with surrounding densities. 4. The amendment will not adversely or unreasonably affect the use of other property in the area. The site has a lake to the west and Virginia Avenue ROW to the north. Adjacent property to the east is residential and the proposed RLM land use is residential also, therefore; compatible and not adversely affecting adjacent property. 5. The amendment will not adversely burden public facilities, including the traffic -carrying capacities of streets, in an unreasonably or disproportionate manner. The maximum density would limit this site to 31 units. Traffic generation would be 310 daily trips maximum. Virginia Avenue operates at LOS C and has substantial remaining capacity. 6. The district boundaries are appropriately drawn with due regard to the locations and classifications of streets, ownership lines, existing improvements and the natural environment. The district boundary of the MDR Zoning (as limited by RLM land use) is appropriate in that similar densities are near the site. The Preservation (P) area will be consistent with an established surface water delineation surveyed for accuracy. Planning & Development Department, 100 S.

Applicant: Gulfwind Homes 1817 Cypress Brook Dr, Suite 104 Trinity, FL 34655 (Attn: Michael Willenbacher) Authorized Representative / Planners/Engineers: Robert Pergolizzi, AICP / PTP & Sean P. Cashen, P.E., LEED AP Gulf Coast Consulting, Inc. 13825 ICOT Boulevard, Suite 605 Clearwater, FL 33760 Parcel ID # 36/28/15/00000/310/0110 (1895 Virginia Avenue) I. INTRODUCTION The subject property contains approximately 3.61 acres and is located on the south side of Virginia Avenue between Keene Road (CR 1) and Hercules Avenue in the City of Clearwater. The property currently contains a church for the Macedonian Society. The applicant Gulfwind Homes seeks to redevelop the property to contain residential uses. The existing land use designation per the City of Clearwater Land Use map is Institutional (1) and Preservation (P). The Countywide Future Land Use Plan is Public/Semi-Public (P/SP) and Preservation (P). The present zoning is Institutional (1) and Preservation (P) consistent with the underlying land use. The applicant seeks to amend the City of Clearwater land use plan and zoning atlas, to apply the RLM & P land use, and apply the MDR & P zoning classifications. The development will be residential, providing for approximately 22 residential villas with interior vehicular access from a proposed private roadway. This roadway will intersect with Virginia Avenue. II. LAND USE / ZONING The subject site is presently developed and the surrounding uses are as follows: North: Vacant land in unincorporated Pinellas County having Residential Low medium (RLM) land use per the Countywide Plan, and A-E zoning. South: Vacant land and water with Recreation/Open Space & Preservation land use and zoning. East: To the east is a residential subdivision on land having Residential Low Medium (RLM) land use per the Countywide Plan and R-3 zoning in unincorporated Pinellas County. West: To the west is Spring Lake which is the western boundary of the property. Further west is the Spring Lake residential subdivision having Residential Urban (RU) land use (City), RLM Land Use per the Countywide Plan, and LMDR zoning (city). III. TRANSPORTATION The property is regulated by the City of Clearwater Concurrency Management System. According to the Forward Pinellas (MPO) 2016 Level of Service Report, the adjacent section of Virginia Avenue is operating at LOS C carrying only 2,084 vehicles per day. Therefore transportation facilities are adequate to support the redevelopment of the site. Based on Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 9th Edition rates, the redevelopment would generate approximately 210 daily trips. IV. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC UTILITIES Water service is provided by Pinellas County Utilities which has facilities in Virginia Avenue. Sanitary sewer service to this property is provided by the City of Clearwater which has gravity and force main facilities in Virginia Avenue. V. FLOOD ZONE / HURRICANE EVACUATION ZONE Based on FEMA data the site lies within Flood Zone "A" with an estimated base flood elevation (BFE) of 47.The site is within the 100 -year floodplain and homes will need to be elevated above the BFE. It is in a Non -evacuation Hurricane Evacuation Zone, and is therefore very suitable for residential development. Spring Lake appears to be a man- made lake excavated from uplands. Therefore the Preservation (P) line is subject to more detailed delineation and survey. VI. CONCLUSION The land use amendment and rezoning and redevelopment of this property with approximately 22 residential units would not adversely affect nearby properties and would be compatible with surrounding development patterns. The demolition of existing older building will enhance the area, and the development of homes for permanent residency MDR zoning as an infill development will provide a complementary mixture of uses that will blend with the surrounding neighborhood.
