Littlejohn Trail, in accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Contract for Purchase of Real Property (Contract); approve the Contract between the City and Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County, Inc. and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same, together with all other instruments required to affect closing. (APH) Clearwater Gas System acquired the combined parcels (Property) to be used as staging during construction of its recently completed headquarters complex. The City acquired the Property in January 2018 with a purchase price of $230,000. The Property is no longer needed for Clearwater Gas System's purposes or other city functions. Staff is recommending a reduced sales price Page 4 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 3, 2022 of$100,000 ($20,000 per buildable lot) to Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County, Inc. (Habitat) to provide for development of affordable housing under challenging market conditions. The City may transfer the Property with two separate closings to provide time to process a Zoning and Land Use change affecting two of the lots. The Property is located within the North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area which is identified in the city's Consolidated Plan. The Property is also located within the North Greenwood Community Redevelopment Area, currently being created under the direction of City Council and the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners. The Property is located along the Pinellas Trail within a neighborhood mostly comprised of single-family homes. Habitat is planning to construct five single family homes. Three will be sold to households with total household income up to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) and two will be sold to households with income up to 120% of AMI. AMI levels are determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Contract requires Habitat to commence construction of all five homes within one year of closing and to sell each home to a qualified household within two years of closing. Staff may extend these deadlines should unforeseen circumstances cause delay. James Millspaugh and Associates, Inc. provided an appraisal valuing Property at $153,500 prior to the City acquiring the Property for Clearwater Gas System's purposes. Staff's opinion of the Property's current market value is $225,000. According to Section 2.01(d)(5)(i) of the Clearwater City Charter, the City Council may approve the donation or sale for less than fair market value of city-owned Property of not more than five acres in size for workforce or affordable housing following a public hearing. The Property is approximately 0.76 acres (32,997 square feet). APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Proceeds from this sale of land will be credited to Gas Fund surplus land sales revenue code 423-364220. Councilmember Beckman moved to declare surplus, for the purpose of sale for development of affordable housing, real property located at 601, 619, 637, 655 and 673 Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail, in accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Contract for Purchase of Real Property (Contract); approve the Contract between the City and Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County, Inc. and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same, together with all other instruments required to affect closing. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 7.2 Approve the first amendment to an existing Development Agreement between A P Beach Properties, LLC (the property owner) and the City of Clearwater for property located at 401/405/415/419 Coronado Drive and 406/410/420 Hamden Drive, which includes a Page 5 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 3, 2022 revision to Exhibit B to provide new conceptual site plans and elevations, revises the overall size of the site and density and sets a new date by which time site plan approval must be obtained; adopt Resolution 22-01, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (HDA2013-08006A) Development Proposal: No changes have been made to the Development Proposal presented at the January 20, 2022 council meeting. This proposed first amendment will add three parcels (located centrally along Hamden Drive) totaling 0.44 acres to the subject site increasing the area from 1.32 acres to 1.759 acres. The owners propose to utilize the otherwise permitted density of 50 units per acre or 66 units associated with the original 1.32 acres and incorporate the previously approved allocation of an additional 100 units from the Hotel Density Reserve through Beach by Design resulting in a total of 166 units as originally approved. The three added parcels do not include any intensity of use because all of it has been or is in the process of being transferred to other sites. The density (hotel units per acre) will decrease from 125.75 hotel units per acre to 94.32 units per acre. The additional property will enable the applicant to provide a larger building footprint and a more efficient parking layout. The request includes a new conceptual site plan and accompanying building elevations (Exhibit B) and certain changes to the Development Agreement as listed below. ■ Fifth Recital is updated to provide an increase in project area to 1.759 acres. ■ Sixth Recital is updated because the proposed demolition of a hotel in the original agreement is no longer applicable as that hotel has since been demolished. ■ Section 3.3 is updated to reflect the address of the three additional lots. ■ Section 4.2 is updated to show an increase in provided parking spaces. The number of spaces required (199 spaces) has not increased however the applicant is committing to providing more parking than otherwise required. ■ Exhibit A is updated to provide a revised legal description which includes the three additional lots. ■ Exhibit B is updated to reflect the three additional lots on the conceptual site plan and elevations. The current proposal will result in the removal of the existing surface parking lot and as noted, redevelop the site with a 166-unit overnight accommodation use (94.32 hotel units per acre, including the previously approved allocation of 100 rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve). The building will be 100 feet as measured from the point at which minimum floor elevations have been established by law) to flat roof with the parking on the first four levels. The proposal continues to include a tropical modern architecture, which is consistent with and complements the tropical vernacular envisioned in Beach Page 6 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 3, 2022 by Design. Consistency with the Community Development Code: No changes have been made to the Conceptual Site Plan presented at the January 20, 2022 council meeting. The Conceptual Site Plan continues to appear to be consistent with the CDC regarding: ■ Minimum Lot Area and Width ■ Minimum Setbacks ■ Maximum Height ■ Minimum Off-Street Parking ■ Landscaping Consistency with Beach by Design: No changes have been made to the Conceptual Site Plan presented at the January 20, 2022 council meeting. The Conceptual Site Plan continues to appear to be consistent with the Beach by Design with regard to: ■ Design Guidelines ■ Hotel Density Reserve Standards for Development Agreements: The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed first amended and restated amendment to the existing Development Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design and includes the following main provisions: ■ Provides for no change in the number of units (100 units) allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve (previously approved as part of HDA2013- 08006/Resolution No. 14-25); ■ Revises Exhibit B which includes new conceptual site plans, architectural drawings, elevations and perspectives; ■ Requires the developer to obtain building permits within one year of approval of the amended and restated Development Agreement and certificates of occupancy in accordance with Community Development Code (CDC) Section 4-407; ■ Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density Reserve that is not constructed; ■ For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the recording of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight accommodation usage; and ■ Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane Center. Changes to Development Agreements: Pursuant to Section 4-606.1., CDC, a Development Agreement may be Page 7 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes February 3, 2022 amended by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public hearing requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to this Development Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC. Minor revisions to such plans may be approved by the Community Development Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require an amendment to this Development Agreement. The Planning and Development Department is recommending approval of this first amendment to an existing Development Agreement which provided for the allocation of up to 100 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design. Councilmember Bunker moved to approve the first amendment to an existing Development Agreement between A P Beach Properties, LLC (the property owner) and the City of Clearwater for property located at 401/405/415/419 Coronado Drive and 406/410/420 Hamden Drive, which includes a revision to Exhibit B to provide new conceptual site plans and elevations, revises the overall size of the site and density and sets a new date by which time site plan approval must be obtained and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
