Page 4

City Council Meeting Minutes May 16, 2019
for 1204 Norwood Avenue and pass Ordinances 9271-19, 9272-19, and 9273-19 on first
reading. (ANX2019-03010)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.270-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single-family home. The parcel is located on
the west side of Norwood Avenue approximately 400 feet north of Lakeview
Road. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer
and solid waste service from the City. The property is contiguous to existing
city limits to the west. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land
Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The property currently receives water service from the City. The closest
sanitary sewer line is located to the northwest of the property in the
Illinois Road 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. The property is located within Police
District II and service will be administered through the district
headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical
services will be provided to this property by Station #51 located at 1140
Court Street. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with
sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed
annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their
levels of service; and
• The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following
objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of
Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban
service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code.
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 Countywide Plan designation of the property. This
designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per
acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the
Page 5
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes May 16, 2019
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the
subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and
the property exceeds the District's minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide
Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development
Code; and
• The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing city limits
to the west; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes
Chapter 171.044.

occupied by two single family homes totaling 0.38 acres. These properties are

designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:

to the properties is Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The use
