story buildings as opposed to single story buildings.
WHEREAS, multi -story mixed of use buildings with "office" or "attached dwelling" above
first floor ground floor Retail, Restaurant, or Office uses are not always feasible to be developed,
especially on smaller sized parcels with constraints to meet required parking for multi -story
residential or office buildings under the Development Code.

Center, as provided on Table 2.
WHEREAS, "Schools" is an allowed passive use in the Regional Center, as provided on

things which is not allowed in certain areas of the Regional Center per Table 2.
WHEREAS, the City of Clearwater recognizes the active use of Retail, Restaurant, or
Office uses for the. Regional Center because Table 2 allows for standalone single -story Retail,
Restaurant, or Office uses by right.
WHEREAS, "Self -storage warehouse" use, when combined with Retail, Restaurant, or
Office, changes the character of self -storage warehouse's passive use to an active use that is
more active than parking garages, schools, automobile service stations, and some other existing
allowed uses in the Regional Center.
WHEREAS, the uses allowed in Regional Center, as provided on Table 2, currently allow
a mixed use building with "Self -storage warehouse" and Retail, Restaurant, or Office uses in a
limited area of the Regional Center.
WHEREAS, "Self -storage warehouse" use when combined with Retail, Restaurant, or
Office uses "promotes employment and transit forms, patterns, and intensities of development."
WHEREAS, "Self -storage warehouse" use when combined with Retail, Restaurant, or
Office uses "encourage development of mixed-use destinations at major cross streets" because
it can eventually be converted to residential or office above the ground floor.
WHEREAS, "Self -storage warehouse" when combined with Retail, Restaurant, or Office
uses "provides for the safe, attractive, and accessible settings for working, living, and shopping."
WHEREAS the City of Clearwater adopted US 19 Zoning District and Development uses
as provided on Table 2 allow for "self -storage warehouse," in a limited area of the Regional
Center, when combined with Retail, Restaurant, or Office uses.
