1. Call to Order— Mayor Cretekos
The meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall.

2. Engineering
2.1 Approve Ordinance 9202-18 amending previously adopted Ordinance 9130-18, which,
subject to certain conditions therein, vacated a portion of Public Right-of-Way of
Damascus Road, formerly known as Bostrom Rd., acquired by the City in 1964 per
Resolution 64-90 of the City of Clearwater, Florida and an Ingress and Egress Easement
acquired in 1996 as recorded in Official Records Book 9551, Page 1433 of the Public
Records of Pinellas County, Florida, and pass Ordinance 9202-18 on first reading. (VAC
2018-09)
Ordinance 9202-18 amends Ordinance 9130-18 which was originally adopted
on second reading by City Council on May 17, 2018. A scrivener's error in
Section 1, condition 3 was identified after adoption; therefore, a corrective
ordinance is required.
The City Council previously found that said right-of-way is not necessary for
Page 2
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
municipal use and deemed it to be in the best interest of the City and the
general public that the same be vacated.
2.2 Approve Ordinance 9203-18 amending previously adopted Ordinance 3547-84, which
vacated a portion of public Right-of-Way of Garden Avenue, according to the map or plat
thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 53 of the Public Records of Pinellas County,
Florida, and pass Ordinance 9203 -18 on first reading. (VAC 2018-10)
Ordinance 9203-18 amends Ordinance 3547-84 which was originally adopted
on second reading by City Council (then Commission) on May 3, 1984. A recent
review of title documentation involving the subject area revealed an
inconsistency as between the legal description and the depiction by sketch.
This ordinance is to clarify that the intent of Ordinance 3547-84 was to vacate
the West four feet of the 100-foot right-of-way of Garden Avenue abutting Lots
35 through 39 only and that no portion of Garden Avenue right-of-way south of
the southerly boundary of Lot 35 was vacated by Ordinance 3547-84.
The City Council previously found that said right-of-way was not necessary for
municipal use and deemed it to be in the best interest of the City and the
general public that the same be vacated.
2.3 Accept a Guard Rail Easement over a portion of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Springfield
subdivision, conveyed to the City by the Property Owner and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
The property owner at 1167 Pam Bluff Street has experienced continual
incidents where vehicles traveling south bound on Douglas Street have
encroached upon his property and an occurance where a vehicle caused
property damage to the owner's house. The property owner contacted city staff
to request a guard rail be built on the north section of his property to prevent
future property damage and alleviate property. The easement will give the City
the rights to build a guard rail at the north 3-foot section of the property.
chief
2.4 Approve Change Order Two from Gator Grading and Paving of Palmetto, FL, for the
2015 Streets Resurfacing Project (14-0051-EN) in the amount of$596,058.20 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
August 20, 2015, City Council awarded the 2015 Street Resurfacing contract on
a unit price basis in the amount of$2,500,863.85.
Page 3
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
November 17, 2016, City Council approved the renewal of two one-year terms
based on unit prices in the amount of$2,000,000 per year. The current renewal
contract term is December 1, 2017 through November 30, 2018.
September 19, 2018, City Manager approved Administrative Change Order One
increasing items in accordance with field conditions in the amount of
$149,697.50.
Change order two provides for the completion of the 2018 resurfacing plan.
Areas include: Eagle Estates, Spruce Street, Marke Drive, South Starcrest
Drive/Rainbow Drive and Arlie Avenue/Rose Drive, for a new contract total of
$2,745,685.70.
The City of Clearwater annual street resurfacing program is designed to prevent
deterioration of roadway wearing surfaces. The process of resurfacing includes
milling a roadway and replacing with an asphalt layer. This provides a protective
coating and maintains the integrity of the roadway's substructure. Resurfacing
allows for an improved ride and safer roads for residents and visitors of the City.
Streets that are scheduled for resurfacing in this contract were determined
using the City's pavement management consultants, citizen requests, and staff
observations. All areas have been determined to warrant inclusion by an
inspection and prioritization process performed by engineering staff.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
ENRD180004-CONS-CNSTRC $596,058.20
Funds are available in Capital Improvement Project ENRD180004, Streets and
Sidewalks, to fund the change order.
3. Fire Department
3.1 Award a contract (Purchase Order) in the amount of$ 643,650.00 to Ten-8 Fire
Equipment, Inc., 2904 59th Avenue Drive East, Bradenton, FL 34203 for one new Pierce
Heavy Duty Velocity Pumper in accordance with Sec. 2.564(1)(d), Code of Ordinances -
Other governmental bid; authorize lease purchase under the City's Master Lease
Purchase Agreement or internal financing via an interfund loan from the Capital
Improvement Fund, whichever is deemed to be in the City's best interests; and authorize
the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The Department desires purchasing a heavy-duty front-line pumper (engine) to
replace Engine 45, purchased in 2010, which will move to the reserve fleet to
maintain required reserve units. A reserve unit purchased in 1999 will be
retired.
The full price for one fire engine is $654,207.00. The dealer and manufacturer
have offered a prepay discount of$10,557.00 for 50% payment at time of order.
The department desires to take advantage of this discount. A performance bond
has been provided.
Page 4
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
The City will be reimbursed by the County for a portion of the purchase,
approximately 10.9%, as the vehicle will support fire operations in the
unincorporated areas of the Clearwater Fire District.
The Department has determined the Pierce Heavy Duty Velocity Pumper built
by Pierce Manufacturing meets the operational needs of the Department. A
heavy-duty velocity pumper provides exceptional pumping water capability,
enhanced storage capability, lower vehicle profile and will significantly up-grade
the abilities of the engine it replaces.
This purchase is a piggyback of Lake County Contract 14-0601.
Estimated annual operating costs in the department's annual operating budget
include debt costs, fuel, and routine garage charges for operating the new
vehicle. Garage charges on the new vehicle are expected to be less than the
replaced vehicle.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Lease purchase funding is available in the amount of$643,220 in project
316-91236, Rescue Vehicle. A first quarter budget amendment will increase the
budget by $11,000 to provide additional funds needed for this purchase.
4. Planning
4.1 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).
The proposed Residential Medium (RM) category allows moderate to high
Page 5
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
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.
4.2 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
Page 6

Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
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.
4.3 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
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,
Page 7
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
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 (SW02018-03025), 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.
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
Page 8
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
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 (I) 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
a the City Council meeting.
Long Range Planning Manager Lauren Matzke said the application was
previously approved for an Assisted Living Facility. The current request is to
rezone and change the future land use designation to Institutional. She said
the application indicates it would be for a half-way house but the previously
submitted site plan has been withdrawn.
4.4 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

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 Zoning Atlas designation of the proposed amendment
area from Office (0) and Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) Districts to
the Institutional (1) District. 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 Future Land Use Plan
amendment (LUP2018-02002) which is being processed concurrently with this
case.
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 (SW02018-03025), 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 districts and uses to the
west along South Highland Avenue to the lower density residential neighborhood
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
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
Page 10
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes October 1, 2018
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
roads providing access to the site. Properties with Institutional (1) District zoning
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 said he supported Item 5.2 but requested Item 5.2
be taken off the Consent Agenda. He said there was an old council policy
that did not allow items that met a certain threshold to be placed on the
Consent Agenda.
The City Attorney said over twenty years ago, it was council practice not to
place items over a certain amount on the Consent Agenda. The City
Clerk informed the City Attorney that it was not a formal council policy.
Discussion ensued with comments made that residents have the right to take
items off consent at the council meeting and items should not be taken off

10.1 Parking Space Requirement for Multi-bedroom Hotel Units - Councilmember Hamilton
Councilmember Hamilton said during a previous meeting to amend
the parking space requirement for hotel development. City code requires 1.2
parking spaces per unit, which is reasonable for standard hotel units
with one or two beds. Multi-bedroom units will likely have more than three
individuals and may require additional parking. He suggested the required
parking spaces per unit should be higher than 1.2 but less than 2.0.
Planning and Development Director Michael Delk said he would recommend
that units not be assigned from the hotel density reserve for multi-
bedroom types of developments. He said the hotel density units should be
used for mid-size limited service hotel rooms. He said resort attached
