December 28, 2018, the City of Clearwater acquired the fee simple ownership

An independent appraisal was performed on the property on June 15, 2022, by

22-0011-EN in the amount of $1,540,598, pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
40-22 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent).
Development in and around Coachman Park has resulted in numerous parking
lots being repurposed. Additionally, the new band shell at Imagine Clearwater
will seat 9,000 attendees resulting in an increased demand for parking in the
downtown core. Earlier this year, the City entered into an agreement with
Peace Memorial Church to purchase property located at the corner of Pierce
Street & S. Osceola Ave for the purpose of building a parking garage that will
provide parking for Peace Memorial, the band shell, and the downtown core in
general. Per Downtown District & Development standards, the garage building
will have a first-floor commercial component.
In April 2022, Desman Inc (Parking consultant of Record) was contacted to
prepare a proforma to determine how a parking garage could work at this
location. Based on their proforma, a parking garage of approximately 550
parking spaces will fit within the required setbacks at that location. Desman
estimated the total project cost at $26,280,500.
June 27, 2022, RFQ 40-22 for design services for the new parking garage was
advertised. The selection committee consisted of representatives from
Engineering, Planning and CRA. Five firms responded to the RFQ. The
committee short listed three firms for oral presentations and selected Harvard
Jolly due to their experience with similar projects, attention to detail, and
knowledge of Clearwater regulations.
The work order includes design, construction documents, and engineering Draft

Page 6 City of Clearwater
services for a 550-575 space parking garage with first floor commercial
frontage. The building will conform to all downtown regulations and will include
a solar component. Harvard Jolly will design the building to meet all applicable
codes and ensure the façade fits within the surrounding architectural styling.
Design is expected to take 12 months through end of permitting (December
2023), including city review time, DRC review and final building permit review
and issuance.
Construction is estimated to start in January 2024 and should be completed in
early 2025.

$87,500 including post-op medication, physical therapy, and potential indemnity.
The 2021 claims relate to an arrhythmia condition. Claims paid to date total
$49,395 for medical, indemnity and legal fees. An ablation procedure to correct

Clearwater for Youth, Inc. (CFY), and the City of Clearwater, which expired on
January 31, 2010, and has been successfully renewed for additional five-year
periods since that time. The original Lease Agreement allows for CFY to
continue to utilize offices located at the Long Center as a base for their
operations, and to provide financial support to the CFY through in-kind services
of general office space and utility services.
This Second Amendment to the Agreement provides for additional leased space
for the CFY which is required due to their growing business needs and provide
for payment to CFY for tickets to CFY events.

Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM 8. Administrative Public Hearings
8.1 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban
(RU) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR)
District for 3144 Johns Parkway, and pass Ordinances 9591-22, 9592-22, and 9593-22
on first reading. (ANX2022-06009)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.187-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a detached dwelling. The property is located on
the north side of Johns Parkway approximately 615 feet east of South McMullen
Booth 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 boundaries to the north, east, and west. It is proposed that the
property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban
(RU) 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 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 in the adjacent Johns Parkway
right-of-way. The applicant has paid the required sewer impact fee in full
and is aware of the additional costs to extend city sewer service to this
property. The property is located within Police District III and service will
be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes November 17, 2022
Page 9 City of Clearwater
McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be
provided to this property by Station #49 located at 565 Sky Harbor Drive.
The city has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary
sewer, solid waste, police, and 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 Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is
consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of the property.
This proposed RU category primarily permits residential uses at a
density of 7.5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be
assigned to the property is the 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

8.2 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL)
and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District
for 1200 Norwood Avenue, and pass Ordinances 9599-22, 9600-22, and 9601-22 on first
reading. (ANX2022-07010)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.264-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a detached dwelling. The property is located on
the west side of Norwood Avenue approximately 500 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 city
boundaries to the west and south. 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 applicant has started a renovation of the property while in the county, and
due to the nature of the renovation Pinellas County has required the applicant to
connect to the City’s sanitary sewer system prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy (CO). To ensure consistency in the application of
Building Code inspections and to prevent any construction liability issues, the
project will be built in its entirety under Pinellas County jurisdiction. For that
reason, second reading of the annexation cannot occur until after the county
issues a CO. The Planning and Development Department will schedule second
and final reading after the applicant obtains the CO.
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of 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 in an easement along the western property
boundary and within the adjacent Illinois Road right-of-way to the west of
the property. The applicant is aware that the required sanitary sewer
impact and assessment fees must be paid in full prior to connection and
of the additional costs to extend to the City’s sanitary sewer system.
Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of Clearwater. 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 #47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road. The city has Draft

Page 11 City of Clearwater
adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid
waste, police, and 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 current Countywide Plan designation of the property.
This proposed RL category primarily permits residential uses at a
density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned
to the property is the 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

This voluntary annexation petition involves a 2.15-acre property consisting of
one parcel of vacant land. The property is located on the west side of North
Betty Lane approximately 500 feet north of Overbrook Avenue. The applicant,
Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County, plans to develop at least 11 detached
dwellings. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive potable
water, sanitary sewer, and solid waste service from the City, upon availability of
service and construction. The Development Review Committee is proposing
that the 0.69 acres of abutting North Betty Lane right-of-way not currently within
the city limits also be annexed. The property is contiguous to existing city
boundaries to the west. It is proposed that the property be assigned Future Land
Use Map designations of Commercial General (CG) and Residential Urban (RU)
and Zoning Atlas designations of Commercial (C) and Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Community Development Code
Section 4-604.E as follows:
• The property currently is not connected to potable water, but the city
would provide water service when the property is redeveloped. The
closest sanitary sewer line is located in the Mary L Road right-of-way.
The applicant is aware that the property owner is responsible for
evaluating the proper method to connect to the City’s sewer system, as
well as for the additional costs to extend and connect to the sewer
system and any for upgrades to the existing system that may be
necessary to receive additional wastewater flows. 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 1712 Overbrook Avenue. The city has adequate capacity

10.1 Amend Clearwater Code of Ordinances Chapter 33, Waterways, Section 33.058,
Same-Areas defined, to add subsections 14-18, establishing slow speed - minimum
wake zones along Stevenson Creek, and pass Ordinance 9640-22 on first reading.
Stevenson Creek is a narrow, tidal-influenced, creek leading to Clearwater
Harbor within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Clearwater. The creek
flows into the harbor under the Fort Harrison Avenue bridge, just south of
Sunset Point Road.
Stevenson Creek was barely navigable to motorized vessels until it was
dredged in 2014. Since that time, those living on the creek have complained of
vessels travelling through this narrow and shallow body of water at unsafe
speeds. The creek is very narrow in areas (< 75 ft.) and has limited sight
distances around the bridges. There are four bridges with low vertical and
narrow horizontal clearances that pass over Stevenson Creek (Betty Lane,
Douglas Avenue, Pinellas Trail, and Fort Harrison Avenue). These clearances
limit visibility and sight distances around each of the bridges and in the narrow
portions of the creek. Florida State Statutes provide for local regulation of
waterways when these safety conditions exist.
The permitting process is very specific. The first step requires the passage of a
local ordinance indicating the area a local governing body wishes to regulate.
Upon passage, the State of Florida will review the ordinance and conditions to
determine if local regulation is appropriate. The City has provided the State with
a draft ordinance along with a legal description and map of the area it seeks to
restrict to “slow speed, minimum wake” operation. A preliminary review of
these documents by the State leads the City to believe that the State would
likely approve its request.
The proposed amendment to the Clearwater Code of Ordinances would allow
us to begin the permitting process that would ultimately result in establishing
slow speed, minimum wake zones around all the bridges that cross over
Stevenson Creek and in the very narrow areas of the creek. Such slow speed,
minimum wake zones would not go into effect until approval by the State and
other requisite regulatory agencies and authorities. These actions are Draft

Hello Mayor Hibbard and Councilmembers December 1, 2022 -
My Name is Mark Birenbaum
I am against the proposed Charter School at 2433 Nursery Road.
November 12, 2021 talked and emailed Melissa Hauck -Baker asking her to keep
me informed. December 21, 2021 received email from her of the Preliminary Plat
approval. NO communication received after this date from her or Gina Clayton.
The first Plat of September 22, 2021, the DRC of October 18, 2021 and Vote by City
Council of January 20, 2022 were illegally processed which we all know was due to
technical errors" as Mr. Jennings stated March 17, 2022 during council meeting.
The 2nd plat notice of March 21, 2022 and the DRC of April 1, were clearly FIXED
with the help of the Mr. Margolis City Attorney. As stated he and the school attorney
privately discussed the "possibility of reapproving" the 2nd plat and returning it to
the Council for some kind of "second final approval" but this process never
occurred due to legal costs.
Both Mr. Jennings, City Manager and Mr. Margolis, City Attorney allowed legal
problems to exists during the past year by allowing the splitting of this property into
two shared parcels. Both did NOT take responsibility but complained asking too
many questions.
Mr. Jennings transferred down his decision process via email to Ms. Kivett, a staff
personnel, to avoid being responsible for making a decision about Traffic study.
One "FACT" omitted from the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was more traffic would be
coming from Belleair Road and South Haven Dr to Nursery Road than reported in
the TIS. Ms. Kivett, then emailed me that "the city will not discuss professional
technical concerns of the report and traffic flow." This stopped our
communication.
October 20, 2022 Mr. Jennings stated during council meeting that he would get back
to me as "The point person" with answers, but for over a month has failed to do
so. Does this show a lack of his Leadership?
Nov 14, 2022, our group for 2 hours met with Mayor Hibbard personally to walk
Nursery Road and hear our concerns. He received 24 key documents and forward
to Mr. Jennings 16 for answers. November 30th finally received email of the
questions and answers by city staff from Mayor Hibbard. I responded back same
day with facts and detail disputing the staff answers. The staff is now more y
informed of why we disagree with staff answers. \
This is just the wrong place to build a charter School using Nursery Road 417\6 b\

Accept the 2022 Local Housing Incentive Strategy (LHIS) Report developed by the Affordable
Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). (consent)
SUMMARY:
Florida Statute Section 420.9076 states that counties and cities receiving State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds are required to appoint an eleven-member
Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). The statute further provides that the
committee be made up of members from specific industries or groups as identified in the
statute. The requirement was largely met through the use of the City’s existing seven-member
Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB). City staff recommended
Council appointment of four additional committee members. The City Council adopted
Resolution No. 22-19 that created and appointed the 2022 AHAC.
The duties of the AHAC included reviewing policies and procedures, ordinances, land
development regulations and the City’s adopted comprehensive plan and recommending
specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable housing.
Per state statute, at a minimum, the AHAC is required to review and consider
recommendations on the following:
(a)The processing of approvals of development orders or permits, as defined in
F.S.163.3164 (7) and (8), for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater
degree than other projects.
(b)The modification of impact-fee requirements, including reduction or waiver of fees and
alternative methods of fee payment for affordable housing.
(c)The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
(d)The reservation of infrastructure capacity or housing for very low-income persons,
low-income persons, and moderate-income persons.
(e)The allowance of affordable accessory residential units in residential zoning districts.
(f)The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing.
(g)The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for
affordable housing.
(h)The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
(i)The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before
adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that
increase the cost of housing.
(j)The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for
affordable housing.

File Number: ID#22-1244
(k)The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers
and mixed-use developments.
Throughout the fall of 2022, consultant Wade Trim, along with Economic Development and
Housing Department staff and Planning and Development Department staff, facilitated
discussion at three meetings of the AHAC. The meetings centered around reviewing the 2021
LHIS to discuss whether any changes should be made as well as to consider new strategies to
incentivize development of affordable housing. The LHIS encompasses the definition, vision,
strategic focus areas and incentive recommendations in order to facilitate the development and
preservation of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater. The AHAC convened on three
separate occasions to develop and identify the value of affordable housing, identify the
principles for Clearwater’s affordable housing and develop/confirm a vision statement to be
included as part of the LHIS.
The AHAC members focused on the values that affordable housing brings to the City of
Clearwater. The AHAC recommended the continuation, with slight modifications in some
cases, of recommendations made by prior AHAC committees. This year’s committee
recommended several language changes to incorporate more affirmative language in the
document. There are two modifications that will require staff action:
1)Funding sources require the city to obtain a Housing Quality Standards inspection prior
to processing a down payment assistance loan. In Section 16.1 of the report, the AHAC
recommended that this inspection be performed earlier in the process so it will be less
likely to cause delay.
2)In Section C.2, Principles for Clearwater’s Affordable Housing, the AHAC asked staff to
incentivize the construction of mixed-income housing developments that incorporate
both affordable and non-affordable housing units into the same project.
The LHIS report is due annually. If approved by Council, the document will be incorporated into
the City’s Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP). Staff will submit the report to the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation no later than December 31, 2022. This year’s LHIS update
includes recommendations that were approved by the AHAC on November 7, 2022.

I. BACKGROUND
1.1 The City of Clearwater
The City of Clearwater is approximately 26 square miles in size (land area) and located in Pinellas County
on the west coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. Clearwater is the county seat of
Pinellas County and shares boundaries with the municipalities of Largo, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Belleair
Beach and the Town of Belleair. Along with the cities of St. Petersburg and Tampa, Clearwater is one of
the most urbanized areas within the Tampa Bay Region.
According to the most recent decennial U.S. Census, the City of Clearwater had a population of 117,292
in 2020. Estimates from the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) for
2022 indicate that the City’s current population is approximately 119,208. Based on a share (12.25%) of
Pinellas County’s projected population, the City may have a population of 124,521 by 2040 based on a
medium growth scenario.
1.2 The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
As a recipient of State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds the City established an Affordable
Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) in September 2022 as required by Florida Statute (F.S.), Section
420.9076. Section 420.9076, F.S., effective October 1, 2020, requires all municipalities receiving SHIP
funds to:
a) Establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC);
b) Prepare Local Housing Incentive Strategies (LHIS) to facilitate the provision of
affordable/workforce housing; and
c) Amend the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) to include the recommendations of the LHIS.
The AHAC is responsible for reviewing ordinances, land development regulations, Comprehensive Plan
policies, and other aspects of the City’s policies and procedures that affect the cost of housing. In addition,
the AHAC is responsible for making recommendations to encourage affordable housing.
The AHAC was previously required to submit a LHIS report triennially (i.e., every three years). Effective
October 1, 2020, the LHIS report must be submitted annually. The report includes recommendations by
the AHAC as well as comments on the implementation of incentives for at least the following eleven (11)
distinct areas:
• The processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing projects is
expedited to a greater degree than other projects, as provided in s. 163.3177(6)(f)3, F.S.
• All allowable fee waivers provided for the development or construction of affordable housing.
• The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
• The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income
persons, and moderate-income persons.
• Affordable accessory residential units.
• The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 4
Economic Development & Housing Department
• The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable
housing.
• The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
• The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies,
procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
• The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable
housing.
• The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-
use developments.
1.2.1 Committee Composition
The City of Clearwater’s first eleven-member AHAC was established on June 19, 2008, representing those
actively engaged in the provision of affordable housing. The composition of the first AHAC is outlined in
Resolution #08-15 (see Appendix A). This first AHAC prepared the City’s original LHIS, which was approved
in December 2008.
Although Florida Statutes required the LHIS to be reviewed by the AHAC triennially, the City was not
required to review the LHIS in 2011 because it did not meet the SHIP funding threshold at that time. In
2014, however, the SHIP funding threshold for LHIS review was met. On August 18, 2014, the City formed
a second eleven-member AHAC, which reviewed and updated the LHIS in December 2014. The
composition of the second AHAC is outlined in Resolution #14-26 (see Appendix A).
The City formed a third eleven-member AHAC on October 5, 2017, which reviewed and updated the LHIS
by December 2017. Although the Florida Statute no longer required a resolution of City Council to appoint
the AHAC, the third AHAC was appointed by City Council action as Resolution #17-34 (see Appendix A).
On September 17, 2020, the City formed a fourth eleven-member AHAC to review and update the LHIS by
December 2020. The fourth AHAC was appointed by City Council action as Resolution #20-50 (see
Appendix A).
On September 2, 2021, the City formed a fifth eleven-member AHAC to review and update the LHIS by
December 2021. The fifth AHAC was appointed by City Council action as Resolution #21-30 (see Appendix
A).
On September 1, 2022, the City formed a sixth eleven-member AHAC to review and update the LHIS by
December 2022. The sixth AHAC was appointed by City Council action as Resolution #22-19 (see Appendix
A).
Section 420.907, F.S. lists the categories from which AHAC members must be selected. There must be at
least eight (8) but not more than 11 committee members with representation from at least six (6) of the
following categories:
• Citizen actively engaged in the residential home building industry in connection with affordable
housing.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 5
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Citizen actively engaged in the banking or mortgage banking industry in connection with
affordable housing.
• Citizen representative of those areas of labor actively engaged in home building in connection
with affordable housing.
• Citizen actively engaged as an advocate for low-income persons in connection with affordable
housing.
• Citizen actively engaged as a for-profit provider of affordable housing.
• Citizen actively engaged as a not-for-profit provider of affordable housing.
• Citizen actively engaged as a real estate professional in connection with affordable housing.
• Citizen actively serving on the local planning agency pursuant to Section 163.3174, F.S.
• Citizen residing within the jurisdiction of the local governing body marking the appointments.
• Citizen who represents employers within the jurisdictions.
• Citizen who represents essential services personnel, as defined in the Local Housing Assistance
Plan (LHAP).
Additionally, effective October 1, 2020, at least one committee member must be a locally elected official
from the participating jurisdiction (i.e., a City Councilmember).
The appointed 2022 AHAC members are included in Table 1, along with their category affiliation.

1.3 Process to Develop the Local Housing Incentive Strategies
To update the LHIS, City staff and AHAC members actively participated in the following activities to fulfill
the requirements of Section 420.9076, F.S.
• Review of requirements of Section 420.9076, F.S.
• Discussion regarding main issues/barriers affecting the production of affordable housing (see
Appendix B)
• Discussion with for-profit and non-profit developers to identify main barriers to the provision
of affordable housing (see Appendix B)
• Evaluation with City staff and AHAC of the current regulations (comprehensive plan, code,
and ordinances) that provide developer incentives for the provision of affordable housing
• Update of the LHIS report
Chart 1 outlines the schedule established in Florida Statutes to prepare the LHIS:

II. LOCAL HOUSING INCENTIVE STRATEGIES
The City of Clearwater’s sixth eleven-member AHAC was formed in September 2022 to review and update
the values, principles, vision, and recommendations for the LHIS. The resulting values, principles and vision
are found in Appendix C and the resulting recommendations are found in Section 2.1 and 2.2 below.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 7
Economic Development & Housing Department
2.1 Affordable Housing Incentives
The following provides synopses of the City’s current affordable housing practices, including policies,1
procedures, ordinances, and regulations. The following also outlines the AHAC’s evaluation of the
recommendations to incentivize affordable housing that were previously approved in 2021. As part of the
evaluation, the AHAC may continue, modify, or remove some recommendations and may add new
recommendations as relevant. Recommendations for incentives are organized by the strategic incentives
cited in Florida Statutes respective to the SHIP program funding. Section 420.9076, F.S., cites 11 areas of
affordable housing incentives for examination by the AHAC. The AHAC evaluated the City’s
implementation of various incentives in these 11 areas and recommended other areas not cited in the
statute.
This evaluation of recommendations occurred during meetings with the AHAC and City staff from
September through December 2022. The following provides the schedule of these meetings:
9/13/2022 Meeting with the AHAC and staff of the Economic Development & Housing Department
10/11/2022 Meeting with the AHAC and staff of the Economic Development & Housing Department
11/7/2022 Public Hearing with the AHAC, staff of the Economic Development & Housing
Department, and interested members of the public
12/1/2022 City Council meeting to accept the updated LHIS report
Summaries of the AHAC meetings held on September 13, 2022, and on October 11, 2022, can be found in
Appendix D. The LHIS report is a result of the meetings held with the AHAC and the input of City staff to
determine the feasibility of the AHAC recommendations. On November 7, 2022, the AHAC reviewed the
LHIS report and finalized its recommendations regarding affordable housing incentives. The final
recommendations, as approved by the AHAC, are captured in Appendix E. The LHIS report was accepted
by City Council on December 1, 2022, and the recommendations will be used to amend the Local Housing
Assistance Plan (LHAP) and the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
1 All references made to the City’s “Comprehensive Plan” are drawn from the official document as adopted by City Council inclusive of any
amendments as of April 7, 2022.

2.1.1 Expedited Review Process
Strategic Incentive No. 1 (Florida Statute)
The processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing projects is
expedited to a greater degree than other projects, as provided in s. 163.3177(6)(f)3, F.S.
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion related to expediting review processes occurred during the first AHAC meeting on
September 13, 2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the “Request for Expedited Permit Processing
for Affordable Housing Activity” form was discussed, along with the duration of single-family permit
reviews. Although recent amendments to Recommendation 1.1 require reviews of single-family
permit applications to be completed in four days of the initial submittal and three days of all
subsequent submittals, the actual review time has proved to be longer. City staff responded that
permit volume often impacts review times. The designation of an “Affordable Housing Advocate” was
discussed as a means of expediting the review process, as was the creation of an affordable housing
“dashboard” on the City’s website.
The AHAC also discussed whether any single-family developers have submitted template plans for
pre-screening to expedite the permit review process. City staff responded that although regularly
encouraged, no template plans have been submitted. The AHAC discussed the potential of purchasing
template plans to make available as an incentive for affordable housing.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, changes proposed to Recommendations 1.1,
1.2, and 1.4 were reviewed and agreed to by the committee. These changes focus on the committee’s
intention to either continue or act more affirmatively on the previous recommendations.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City of Clearwater Economic Development & Housing Department continues to provide a form
titled, “Request for Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity” that, when
completed and submitted by the developer, expedites permitting for affordable housing projects. The
form can be issued for a site-specific project or for a one-year period, depending on a developer’s
business strategy. This form does not expedite the review process for site plans, land use plan
amendments, rezoning, or annexations, as these submittals are subject to board-dependent meeting
schedules (e.g., Community Development Board, City Council).
Currently, and depending on the type of project, the Assistant Director of the Economic Development
& Housing Department and the Permit Manager and/or Planning Manager act as liaisons between the
developer and the City.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 9
Economic Development & Housing Department
The Assistant Director of the Economic Development & Housing Department determines whether a
project qualifies as affordable housing and, if eligible, provides the developer with the “Request for
Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity” form and applicable checklists.
The Economic Development & Housing Department and Planning & Development Department
support customer service for potential affordable housing projects by providing information and
responding to developer inquiries by the end of business day (EOB). The Planning & Development
Department utilizes technology to enhance administrative efficiencies. All permitting is facilitated by
a one-stop “ePermit Hub” portal that supports electronic plan submittal, review, and inspections, or
through Accela. Information, forms, and checklists are available online and at the counter for all types
of projects (not necessarily affordable housing). Target dates and permit status are posted via the
ePermit Hub portal and review time has been generally reduced to 14 days.
The Housing Division recently updated its webpages to improve communication and another update
is in process. The Planning & Development Department also provides information on its webpages.
The City already maintains a “Building Plan Review Committee” brochure that summarizes the City’s
development review processes; however, this brochure is not specific to policies or processes that
incentivize affordable housing in the City of Clearwater.
While the City regularly encourages developers to submit template plans to expedite review, none
have submitted template plans to date.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
1.1 Continue to use the “Request for Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing
Activity” form to fast-track affordable housing projects. Projects submitted with this form
will receive priority during the permit review process. Continue to strive to by completeing
reviews of single-family permit reviews within four days of the initial submittal and within
three days of all subsequent submittals.
1.2 The Assistant Director of Economic Development & Housing and Permit Manager should
will continue to be the primary and secondary points of contact when submitting
affordable housing projects. Through close coordination, these two staff positions should
will:
• Create and oversee an affordable housing “One Stop Streamline Permitting
Process.”
• Act as a liaison between the developer and all departments involved in the review
and permitting process.
• Organize and participate in the pre-application meetings.
• Provide necessary information and forms to the developer to avoid delays during
the application and review process.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 10
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Create a process and definitive project requirement checklist for affordable
housing projects for each level of review and stage of permitting.
• Create a definitive but feasible review timeline for affordable housing projects
considering variables such as the type, size and impact in the community
depending on the level of review and stage of permitting.
• Release to the applicant and all City departments involved at once, written
statements for additional requirements and project determinations.
• Track the review process through the City’s online ePermit system.
• Report to the developer the status of the application.
1.3 Continue to improve customer service toward potential project applicants by:
• Maintaining a positive attitude
• Offering a quick response time via email or phone calls
• Making available project requirements and forms
• Providing a list of potential mentors experienced in affordable housing
development
• Utilizing new technology to enhance administrative efficiencies and to educate
developers about the City’s affordable housing incentives and permitting process
by means of link sharing, web forms, videos/webinars, virtual meetings/forums,
and other tools
1.4 Publish Review and annually update a brochure or and other informational handouts to
be published in a prominent location on the City’s Affordable Housing webpage that
explains the City's development approval and permitting process to developers, including
but not limited to:
• Relationship between City and County policies and the regulation of land use,
density, and intensity
• City-sponsored incentives for affordable housing such as the "Request for
Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity" form, Affordable
Housing Density Bonus, Parking Reductions, and Nonconforming Exemption for
Affordable Housing
1.5 Encourage affordable housing developers of single-family homes to submit frequently
used template plans for pre-screening by the Building Official to further expedite the staff
permit review process.
Implementation:
Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 are already implemented to varying degrees by City staff;
however, changes to Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4 as proposed by the committee will require
further coordination between the Assistant Director of Economic Development & Housing and Permit
Manager to fully implement.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 11
Economic Development & Housing Department
2.1.2 Modification of Fees
Strategic Incentive No. 2 (Florida Statute)
All allowable fee waivers provided for the development or construction of affordable housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding the modification of fees occurred during the first AHAC meeting on
September 13, 2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, minor changes to the AHAC’s previous
recommendations were proposed, focusing on the committee’s intention to either continue or more
affirmatively act on previous recommendations. Additionally, discussion surrounding
Recommendation 2.2 proposed adding benchmarking language such as “on par” with other
municipalities in Pinellas County to achieve fee competitiveness.
At the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, changes proposed to Recommendations 2.1, 2.2,
2.3, and 2.4 were reviewed and agreed to by the committee. The previous 2021 recommendation
regarding development of a new Parks & Recreation impact fee structure to reduce or waive impact
fees for affordable housing was completed; therefore, that recommendation is removed.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
While impact fees do increase the costs of affordable housing; it is also true that affordable housing
creates the same demand for public infrastructure as other types of development. Therefore, the City
of Clearwater charges specific fees to conduct development reviews and issue permits for affordable
housing projects. The current City of Clearwater fee structure is adopted as Appendix A (Schedule of
Fees, Rates and Charges) of the Community Development Code. Development review fees are based
on the level of review, and permitting fees are based on construction valuation. City of Clearwater
impact fees are assessed per unit. Depending on market conditions, these fees could potentially deter
the development of affordable housing.
In Florida, impact fees may be waived by exception for affordable housing projects consistent with
the Florida Impact Fee Act, Section 163.31801(8), F.S., which does not require the local government
to use any revenues to offset the revenue loss. This exception or waiver is applicable to housing that
is affordable as defined by Section 420.9071, F.S. (i.e., 30% of 120%).
In 2016, Pinellas County restructured its transportation impact fees to fund not only standard road
widening but also multi-modal improvements such as mass transit, bicycle, or pedestrian features.
Such alternative modes of transportation are beneficial to persons without reliable access to an
automobile and complement the provision of affordable housing. Consequently, the 2017 AHAC
recommended coordination with Pinellas County regarding data-based rate flexibility within the
multi-modal impact to support the provision of affordable housing.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 12
Economic Development & Housing Department
The City of Clearwater is identified as Multi-Modal Impact Fee District #6/6A within Pinellas County.
A Multimodal Impact Fee is charged to offset the cost of improvements needed as development
occurs and population increases resulting in an increased burden on traffic infrastructure. Revenue
from the fee is shared between Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater. The fee can be reduced or
offset through a traffic study, reduction for low-income housing, and pre-existing development traffic
counts.
Fee Waiver or Exemption – Government projects (e.g., library, rec center, etc.) are exempt. This
exemption applies to both the City and County portion of impact fee revenue.
Reduction for low-income housing:
• A single-family home under 1,500 square feet (SF) for a qualifying low-income household
(LIHH) is charged $653 compared to $1,003 for the same size home for a household not
qualifying as LIHH. The fee for non-qualifying LIHH increases as follows: $1,242 for 1,501 SF to
2,499 SF; and $1,529 for a home 2,500 SF and larger. Square footage is determined by heated
area.
• Multi-family projects for qualifying LIHH are charged $557/unit while projects not qualifying
as LIHH are charged $972/unit. (Sourced from City staff, 2021)
Fees are cited in Pinellas County’s Land Development Code, Chapter 150, Article II. Alternatively,
applicants can submit independent analysis to support further reduction of impact fees based on trip
generation or economic studies.
In 2021, the AHAC recommended that the new Parks & Recreation impact fee structure either reduce
or waive impact fees for affordable housing. These fees, which are scheduled for City Council adoption
in January 2023, have been revised to include a waiver for affordable housing. The Planning &
Development Department also recently completed changes to its fee structure to reduce plan review
and permit fees by 75% for affordable housing. Moreover, the Economic Development and Housing
Department has a policy for City-funded affordable housing projects whereby, if the developer does
not realize a 12% profit on total development costs, the City will write-down the loan to provide for a
12% profit.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
2.1 Coordinate with Pinellas County, as feasible, regarding data-based rate flexibility within
the multi-modal impact fee to support the provision of affordable housing.
2.2 Continue to assess the financial, legal, and administrative feasibility of reducing,
refunding, or redefining (by unit size) the costs of impact fees and/or permitting fees
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 13
Economic Development & Housing Department
related to the development of affordable housing with the goal of being on par with other
municipalities in Pinellas County.
2.3 The Planning & Development Department will recommend amending continue to
implement the fee Schedule of Fees Rates and Charges ordinance to provide for a
reduction in the Plan Review and Permit Fees for single-family homes.
2.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department will develop a policy continue to
assist with the payment of Plan Review and Permit Fees and impact fees utilizing state
and federal funds designated for affordable housing.
Implementation:
Recommendation 2.1 is already implemented by Pinellas County but requires ongoing coordination
between jurisdictions to certify affordable housing projects. This coordination will be implemented
by the Engineering Department and will be monitored by City staff of the Economic Development &
Housing Department and Planning & Development Department. In response to updated
Recommendations 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4, City staff will continue to monitor how its internal departments
and other local governments are addressing plan review and permit fees and impact fees to ensure
Clearwater’s incentives are competitive throughout the region.
2.1.3 Flexible Densities
Strategic Incentive No. 3 (Florida Statute)
The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding the flexible densities occurred during the first AHAC meeting on September
13, 2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to
continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City of Clearwater supports flexibility in densities for affordable housing through its
Comprehensive Plan policies and through its Community Development Code.
The City’s latest Comprehensive Plan was most recently amended on April 7, 2022. The Comprehensive
Plan will be updated more extensively during the coming year. Existing Comprehensive Plan policies
in support of flexible densities are adopted in the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and Housing
Element as follows:
Policy A.2.2.12 – The City will permit density bonuses for affordable housing developments
provided that between 15% and 25% of the total units are reserved as affordable housing units.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 14
Economic Development & Housing Department
Such bonuses shall not exceed 50% of the density permitted by the Future Land Use Map and shall
not include properties located in the Coastal Storm Area. The density bonus shall be established
by ordinance in the Community Development Code. (FLUE)
Policy C.1.9.1 – The City will permit density bonuses for affordable housing developments provided
that between 15% and 25% of the total units are reserved as affordable housing units. Such
bonuses shall not exceed 50% of the density permitted by the Future Land Use Map and shall not
include properties located in the Coastal Storm Area. The density bonus shall be established by
ordinance in the Community Development Code. (Housing Element)
Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and previous AHAC recommendations, the Community
Development Code contains affordable housing incentives under Section 3-920 that include a density
bonus. Within Section 3-920, there is a requirement for a pre-application meeting to determine a
project’s eligibility for the density bonus. Subsection “A. Affordable Housing Density Dwelling Units”
contains specific criteria and simplified formulas for calculating the additional density available to
affordable housing projects. The Community Development Code outlines the procedures for review
and approval, percentages of affordable units, standards such as compatibility and green design, and
required covenants to maintain affordability. Recently, the Planning & Development Department
added language to the City’s affordable housing incentives to provide more clarity regarding the
density bonus provision. Density allowances are typically confirmed with City staff during pre-
application Building Plan Review Committee (BPRC) meetings.
In addition to the Density Bonus, the Community Development Code establishes flexibility criteria for
specific uses requiring additional development review. Such uses fall into two categories: Flexible
Standard Development and Flexible Development.
Flexible Standard Development – Typically requires Level One approval, which involves review by
City staff only, including the Development Review Coordinator and Development Review
Committee.
Flexible Development – Typically requires Level Two approval, which involves review by the
Community Development Board. Some applications may warrant additional review, in which case
Level Three approval is required. Level Three approval involves greater complexity and requires
action by the City Council.
In some cases, affordable housing projects also fall under the flexible development criteria for the
specific zoning district in which the project is located, which typically require Level Two approval. For
example, Section 2-704 defines infill flexibility criteria for the Commercial zoning district, which
includes Flexibility Criteria F.5.d, “…the proposed use provides for the provision of affordable
housing.”
Additionally, the City of Clearwater maintains a “Public Amenities Incentive Pool” (Section C-301) and
application process whereby applicants can request additional density in return for projects located
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 15
Economic Development & Housing Department
in Character Districts designated by the Downtown Redevelopment Plan that also provide for eligible
public amenities identified within that plan.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with no changes:
3.1 Continue to provide allowance of density flexibility for affordable housing developments.
3.2 Maintain specific parameters to grant density flexibility for affordable housing projects as
allowed in the Community Development Code within the different zoning districts.
3.3 Continue to define the density allowance for an affordable housing project as part of a
pre-application meeting prior to formal submission of the civil/site engineering
requirements.
Implementation:
Recommendations 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 are already implemented by the Comprehensive Plan or
Community Development Code and will be continued. The effectiveness of existing policies will be
more fully evaluated through the Comprehensive Plan update process in 2023, which will include
analysis by City staff and public hearings by City Council that may result in Comprehensive Plan
amendments.
2.1.4 Infrastructure Capacity
Strategic Incentive No. 4 (Florida Statute)
The reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons,
and moderate-income persons.
Meeting Synopsis:
The City’s infrastructure capacity was not identified as an affordable housing barrier during meetings
with the AHAC and City staff. The City of Clearwater is nearly built-out and has sufficient infrastructure
capacity for infill development. Therefore, there is no need to reserve infrastructure capacity. During
the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to continue the
previous recommendation of “no recommendation” from the 2021 LHIS report with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City of Clearwater does not require reservation of infrastructure capacity specific to housing for
very-low-income, low-income, and moderate-income persons. The City is nearly built-out and has
excess capacity for its public facilities. Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the Planning &
Development Department closely monitors all concurrency requirements so that adequate
infrastructure is in place prior to development:
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 16
Economic Development & Housing Department
Policy I.1.3.2 – The City shall determine, prior to the issuance of development orders, whether
sufficient capacity of essential public facilities to meet the minimum standards for levels of service
for the existing population and a proposed development will be available concurrent with the
impacts of the proposed development. The applicable water supplier shall be consulted prior to
the issuance of a building permit to ensure potable water will be available prior to the issuance of
a certificate of occupancy. (Capital Improvements Element)
Since 2021, no changes in City policy or practice regarding the reservation of infrastructure capacity
have occurred (neither for affordable housing nor other types of development).
AHAC Recommendations:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC makes no change to the following as previously
approved:
We do not recommend that the City of Clearwater include the reservation of infrastructure
capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income
persons as an incentive for the provision of affordable housing.
Implementation:
Not applicable (no recommendation)
2.1.5 Accessory Dwelling Units
Strategic Incentive No. 5 (Florida Statute)
Affordable accessory residential units.
Meeting Synopsis:
During the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022, the AHAC discussed allowing accessory
dwelling units (ADUs) and tiny homes, and flexibility for other alternative housing types such as co-
housing as potential incentives for affordable housing. Co-housing was discussed as an option for
seniors and young professionals that cannot afford a larger apartment unit or single-family residence.
Such alternative housing types may encourage a diverse supply of housing types and mix of income
levels consistent with the guiding principles of the LHIS report.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee continued Recommendations
5.1 and 5.2 with no changes. Recommendation 5.1 is already implemented by the Community
Development Code. Recommendation 5.2 is partially implemented and will be revisited during the
City’s Comprehensive Plan update process in 2023. Changes were proposed to Recommendation 5.3,
focusing on the committee’s intention to consider incentives for other alternative housing types such
as co-housing beyond traditional accessory dwelling units. These changes were reviewed and agreed
to by the committee.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 17
Economic Development & Housing Department
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City allows for the provision of accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts,
including the City’s Commercial (“C”), Tourist (“T”), Downtown (“D”), Office (“O”), Institutional (“I”),
and Industrial Research and Technology (“IRT”) districts, as described in the Community Development
Code.
Regarding the allowance of accessory residential units in residential zoning districts, the Housing
Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan was recently updated to provide for expanded housing
options, including tiny homes, and to exempt accessory dwelling units from density provisions if
consistent with neighborhood character:
Policy C.1.1.2 – The City shall create provisions within the Community Development Code for
expanding housing options that meet the changing needs of residents in terms of unit sizes,
housing types, levels of affordability, and locations, while preserving existing housing, including
“missing middle” housing types such as tiny houses, cottages, duplexes, courtyard housing, and
small apartment buildings, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). (Housing Element)
Policy C.1.1.8 – To provide additional and diverse housing options integrated into existing
neighborhoods, accessory dwelling units shall be exempt from density provisions and allowed in
certain residential zoning districts compliant with Community Development Code provisions which
provide for consistency with neighborhood character. Such accessory dwelling units cannot be
used for short-term rental purposes. (Housing Element)
Although adopted by policy, these actions have not been fully implemented as standards in the
Community Development Code. The implementation of these policies will be reviewed during the next
update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan during 2023. The Comprehensive Plan update process in 2023
will afford City staff the opportunity to consider other alterative housing type policies, including co-
housing, based on regional examples and best practices.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
5.1 Continue to allow for accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts as
described within the City’s Community Development Code.
5.2 Revisit with City Council Comprehensive Plan Policy C.1.1.2 and Policy C.1.1.8 to consider
allowing one accessory dwelling unit on a residential lot of any size provided that certain
criteria are met. Such criteria may include:
• Maximum unit size, parking standards, setback, and height requirements to
facilitate review and to ensure neighborhood compatibility, which may be
presented using a pattern book or similar means to expedite approval.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 18
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Occupancy/tenure requirements so that the principal dwelling unit remains
owner-occupied, the accessory dwelling unit is not used for short-term rental, and
the number of occupants is limited to that which is reasonable for the unit size.
5.3 Expand the definition of accessory dwelling unit to include tiny homes and Provide
flexibility for other alternative unit types, such as co-housing, to incentivize
unconventional solutions to address affordable housing needs and support aging-in-place
within existing neighborhoods.
Implementation:
Recommendation 5.1 is already implemented by the Community Development Code and will be
continued. Recommendation 5.2 and 5.3 will be implemented through the Comprehensive Plan
update process, which will include analysis by City staff and public hearings by City Council that may
result in Comprehensive Plan amendments.
2.1.6 Parking Reductions
Strategic Incentive No. 6 (Florida Statute)
The reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding parking reductions occurred during the first AHAC meeting on September 13,
2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to
continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The Housing Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan supports the reduction of parking and setback
requirements for affordable housing through the following policies:
Policy C.1.9.2 – Allow flexibility with regard to setbacks and off-street parking to accommodate
density bonuses associated with affordable housing developments provided the project design
does not detract from the established or emerging character of the immediate vicinity. (Housing
Element)
Policy C.1.9.3 – Allow flexibility with regard to off-street parking for projects containing affordable
housing units located within 1000 feet of a transit stop. (Housing Element)
In general, the City’s Community Development Code establishes parking flexibility criteria for specific
uses requiring additional development review. For example, attached dwellings, residential infill
projects, comprehensive infill redevelopment projects, or other uses that could provide affordable
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 19
Economic Development & Housing Department
housing, may qualify as Level Two uses and allow for flexible development standards, including
reduced parking and setbacks.
More specifically, the Community Development Code allows for the reduction of parking requirements
for affordable housing if the project is located near a transit stop:
Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.B. Affordable housing parking reductions – Any reduction in
required off-street parking shall only apply to those dwelling units which are certified by the City’s
Economic Development and Housing Department as affordable housing. All other dwelling units
not certified as affordable housing shall meet the minimum off-street parking requirements set
out for the use in the applicable zoning district. Certified affordable housing projects may be
eligible for a reduction in the required off-street parking consistent with the following:
a. The parking requirement may be reduced to between one and one-half (1.5) and one (1)
space per unit for projects located within 1,000 feet of a transit stop if the affordable
housing units are designated for senior citizens or disabled persons.
b. For all other affordable housing projects, the parking requirement may be reduced to
between one and one half (1.5) and one and one quarter (1.25) space per unit for projects
located within 1,500 feet of a transit stop with 30-minute or more frequent service during
peak hours and 60-minute or more frequent service during off-peak hours.
c. The distance a site is from a transit stop shall be measured from the nearest point of exit
from the parcel based upon the shortest route of ordinary pedestrian travel.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with no changes:
6.1 Continue to allow flexible setback requirements for affordable housing developments.
6.2 Continue to tie reductions of off-street parking requirements to proximity and access to
alternative modes of transportation, including transit, sidewalks, trails, or other options.
Implementation:
Recommendations 6.1 and 6.2 are already implemented by the Comprehensive Plan or Community
Development Code and will be continued. The effectiveness of existing policies will be more fully
evaluated through the Comprehensive Plan update process, which will include analysis by City staff
and public hearings by City Council that may result in Comprehensive Plan amendments.
2.1.7 Flexible Lot Configurations
Strategic Incentive No. 7 (Florida Statute)
The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot-line configurations for affordable
housing.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 20
Economic Development & Housing Department
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding flexible lot configurations occurred during the first AHAC meeting on
September 13, 2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to
continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
A legal lot of record, by definition, has fixed boundaries by a plat recorded in the Official Records of
Pinellas County. It is therefore assumed that this incentive is intended to address flexible site plan
configurations, rather than single flexible lot configurations. The City currently allows for site plan
flexibility through the development review process, as supported by the City’s Community
Development Code and Article 2. Zoning Districts therein, which establishes flexibility criteria for
specific uses. Such criteria may allow for more flexible site plan configurations but may also require
an improved site plan to document how the flexibility will result in better design and/or appearance.
The allowance of flexible site plan configurations, including zero-lot line configurations for affordable
housing, must be sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods. To this end, the
City’s incentives for affordable housing include compatibility criteria in conjunction with the density
bonus as follows:
Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.A.3.c.i. Compatibility Criteria –
. . .
b. Proportionality and scale of the proposed development shall be consistent with
the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for
development.
c. The overall aesthetics of the proposed development shall be compatible with or
an improvement to the community character as determined by the community
development coordinator.
d. The scale and coverage of the proposed development shall be compatible with
adjacent properties. If the overall bulk is larger than the surrounding buildings,
the bulk may be reduced with the help of design elements such as step backs and
setbacks…
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with no changes:
7.1 Continue to allow flexible lot configurations for affordable housing developments while
remaining sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods.
Implementation:
Recommendation 7.1 is already implemented by the Community Development Code and will be
continued.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 21
Economic Development & Housing Department
2.1.8 Modification of Street Requirements
Strategic Incentive No. 8 (Florida Statute)
The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
Street requirements were not identified as an affordable housing barrier during meetings with the
AHAC and City staff. Therefore, modification of the City’s existing street requirements was not
recommended.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City’s general standards for streets are defined in Article 3, Division 19, Section 3-1904 of the
Community Development Code:
Article 3, Division 19, Section 3-1904. Streets – Generally –
A. The functional classification, arrangement, character, extent, width and location of all
streets shall conform to the thoroughfare element of the comprehensive plan and shall be
considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical and
environmental conditions, public convenience and safety, and their appropriate
relationship to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets.
Section 3-1904 also specifies minimum right-of-way and lane designations for each classification of
roadway, including neighborhood roads. A minimum pavement width of 24 feet plus curb is required
for all neighborhood roads, 26 feet plus curb for all local roads, and 37 feet for all collector roads.
These requirements are in place to maintain public health and safety.
Moreover, the City’s Community Development Code requires that all streets be improved by a
developer with paving, curbs or gutters, and sidewalks or on-street parking where necessary. These
standards apply to all development, including affordable housing projects. Since the City of Clearwater
is nearly built-out, the City’s infrastructure system is already in place and it is not likely that affordable
housing projects will need to provide local or collector roads. At most, such projects may require the
provision of neighborhood roads internal to the site.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC makes no change to the following as previously
approved:
Because such standards are in place to benefit public health and safety, we do not recommend
that the City utilize the modification of street requirements as an incentive for affordable housing.
Implementation:
Not applicable (no recommendation)
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 22
Economic Development & Housing Department
2.1.9 Pre-Adoption Policy Consideration
Strategic Incentive No.9 (Florida Statute)
The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies,
procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
No specific issues with the City’s current pre-adoption policy consideration process were identified
during meetings with the AHAC and City staff. The current process is working.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, one minor change to Recommendation 9.1
was proposed, focusing on the committee’s intention to act more affirmatively on the previous
recommendation. The minor change proposed to Recommendations 9.1 was reviewed and agreed to
by the committee. Recommendation 9.2 was continued with no change.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The Economic Development & Housing Department typically reviews City policies, procedures, and
regulations that may affect the cost of housing as part of its annual reporting for the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program and the Federal Community Development Block Grant and
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) programs.
Moreover, the Economic Development & Housing Department typically receives new City
Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code provisions and ordinances for comment and
participates in the City’s review process prior to adoption. This review process is maintained as a
regular agenda item during Senior Executive Team bi-monthly meetings.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with minor changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
9.1 As part of its annual reporting, the Economic Development & Housing Department should
will continue to review all regulations and ordinances that may affect the cost of housing.
9.2 Continue the review process maintained by the Senior Executive Team through which any
new regulatory instrument created in the City (Ordinances, regulations, etc.) can be
evaluated for its effect on housing affordability.
Implementation:
Recommendations 9.1 and 9.2 are already implemented through either state and federal reporting
requirements or regular City staff meetings, which will be continued.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 23
Economic Development & Housing Department
2.1.10 Inventory of Public Lands
Strategic Incentive No. 10 (Florida Statute)
The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing.
Meeting Synopsis:
The inventory of public lands was discussed during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022.
The committee noted that many of the properties on the “Affordable Housing Inventory List” are too
small, which limits the scale of affordable housing development that can occur. Small parcels are a
barrier to affordable housing. The committee noted the need for larger parcels to effectively support
affordable housing developments. The committee also suggested potential coordination with Pinellas
County’s inventory to identify unincorporated properties near or within the City’s limits (e.g.,
enclaves) that could provide affordable housing opportunities in the area. City staff commented that
the City has increased the minimum lot size for donated properties to address this issue.
At the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, changes proposed to Recommendations 10.1, 10.2,
10.4, and 10.5 were reviewed and agreed to by the committee. These changes convey the
committee’s intention to act more affirmatively on the previous recommendations. Recommendation
10.3 was continued with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City of Clearwater is nearly built out. Most of the vacant parcels remaining are less than one acre
in size. Due to the lack of land to develop affordable housing, the City offers flexibility through the
Community Development Code to help developers utilize existing sites for infill and redevelopment
projects. To facilitate affordable housing projects, the City keeps an inventory of publicly owned land
suitable for affordable housing titled, “Affordable Housing Inventory List”, which is published on the
City’s website:
https://www.myclearwater.com/government/city-departments/affordable-housing/resources-for-
developers
The Affordable Housing Inventory List is maintained by Comprehensive Plan policy:
Policy C.1.2.6 - The City shall identify vacant and underutilized city-owned property that may be
deemed surplus property and make it available for the development of affordable housing.
(Housing Element)
The Affordable Housing Inventory List is State mandated by Section 166.0451, F.S. and is triennially
updated. Updates occurred in 2009 by City Resolution #09-41 (November 5, 2009), in 2013 by City
Resolution #13-10 (June 6, 2013), in 2016 by City Resolution #16-14 (June 16, 2016), and in 2019 by
City Resolution #19-10 (June 20, 2019). As of 2022 under City Resolution #22-13 (June 16, 2022), there
were eight (8) parcels suitable for the development of affordable housing:
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 24
Economic Development & Housing Department
1. 1454 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave.
2. 1408 Monroe Ave.
3. 1415 Taft Ave.
4. 1002 Grant St.
5. 1004 Grant St.
6. 1007 Marshall St.
7. 1006 Grant St.
8. 406 Vine Ave.
Future updates to the inventory list may include lots not zoned residential that may be appropriate
for affordable housing.
Since 2017, the Planning & Development Department has implemented a foreclosure program
targeting properties with substantial code violations. As a result, several properties have been
donated for affordable housing development (see Recommendation 10.4).
More recently, the City’s Economic Development & Housing Department improved its procedure to
make publicly owned land available to prospective developers and non-profit agencies to construct
affordable housing. Previously lot disposition occurred on a first-come, first-served basis. In 2021, the
City drafted a lot disposition policy to establish how the City notifies capable developers of available
lots and distributes those lots through a public vetting process. The lot disposition policy establishes
a clear and transparent process for donating appropriate City-owned lots to developers for the
creation of affordable housing. The new lot disposition policy utilizes a small committee to choose
lots to be made available, seek proposals from developers for the lots, then review/score the
proposals to see who has the best ideas for the donated land. Nonprofit developers are included as
well as minority and small developers. The City will advertise opportunities on the Economic
Development & Housing Department website and reach out directly to those known to be interested.
In 2021, the AHAC added Recommendation 10.5 regarding the lot disposition policy. To date, one lot
has been sold and the City is preparing to sell another.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
10.1 The Economic Development & Housing Department should will continue to maintain the
inventory of publicly-owned land suitable for the development of affordable housing.
10.2 Continue to publish the public land inventory owned by the City for affordable housing,
and a link to Pinellas County’s inventory, on the City’s webpage for prospective
developers and non-profit agencies for developing affordable housing.
10.3 Continue to make publicly-owned land available to prospective developers and non-profit
agencies for developing affordable housing.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 25
Economic Development & Housing Department
10.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department should will coordinate with the
Planning & Development Department to identify properties having repeat code violations
that may be suitable for rehabilitation, acquisition, or demolition for affordable housing.
10.5 Develop a new Continue to monitor the policy/procedure for distribution of city owned
lots. Consider including energy efficient items and related emerging technologies into the
scoring matrix to support environmentally friendly development in partnership with the
Greenprint 2.0 timeline.
Implementation:
Recommendations 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.5 will continued to be implemented by City staff of the
Economic Development & Housing Department. Recommendation 10.4 will continue to be
implemented by City staff of the Planning & Development Department through ongoing coordination
with the Economic Development & Housing Department.
2.1.11 Proximity to Transportation, Employment & Mixed-Use Development
Strategic Incentive No. 11 (Florida Statute)
The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-use
developments.
Meeting Synopsis:
No specific issues with the City’s current policies regarding proximity to transportation, employment,
and mixed-use development were identified during meetings with the AHAC and City staff. The City’s
current policies remain acceptable to the committee. However, during the second AHAC meeting on
October 11, 2022, one minor change was proposed to Recommendation 11.1 to change the word,
“should” to “will” to affirmatively act on the recommendation.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the minor change proposed to
Recommendation 11.1 was reviewed and agreed to by the committee.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
Generally, the City promotes areas suitable for affordable housing through the Future Land Use
Element (FLUE) of the Comprehensive Plan. The FLUE contains a number of policies related to activity
centers and transit hubs as part of the City’s overall design structure. Such policies include:
Policy A.2.2.7 – Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks,
schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses. (FLUE)
Policy A.5.4.4 – Missouri Avenue from Drew Street to Belleair Road. The creation of affordable
housing and mixed-use development should be supported, and lot consolidation and streetscape
improvements should be encouraged. [Activity Center] (FLUE)
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 26
Economic Development & Housing Department
Policy A.5.4.7 – South Fort Harrison Avenue from A Street to E Street. Amendments to the Future
Land Use Plan and Zoning Atlas may be considered to promote affordable housing, mixed-use
development, and to support the emerging character of the area and Morton Plant Hospital.
[Activity Center] (FLUE)
Policy A.6.8.7 – Create mixed-use, higher density, livable communities through design, layout and
use of walkability techniques within existing and proposed transit corridors, including planned
PSTA, Pinellas County MPO and TBARTA lines and potential station locations. (FLUE)
Additionally, the FLUE includes the Objective A.6.10 policy series, which establishes transit-oriented
land use designations and design standards:
Policy A.6.10.8.b(4) – Provide a mixture of housing types affordable to households with a range of
incomes within [transit] station areas. (FLUE)
The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan also supports the location of assisted housing near
major activity centers:
Policy C.1.4.2 – Assisted housing should be located in close proximity to employment centers, mass
transit services, parks, and commercial centers. (Housing Element)
Additionally, both the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code allow flexibility
in parking for affordable housing projects if located near a transit stop (see Housing Element Policy
C.1.9.3 as well as Community Development Code Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.B. for the City’s
“affordable housing parking incentive”).
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with one minor change as shown in strikethrough/underline:
11.1 The City should will maintain and implement Future Land Use Element policies A.2.2.7;
A.5.4.4; A.5.4.7; A.6.8.7; A.6.10.8; and C.1.4.2 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
Implementation:
Recommendation 11.1 is already implemented by the Comprehensive Plan and will be continued.
2.2 Additional Incentives
The following provides synopses of the City’s current practices regarding affordable housing and outlines
the AHAC’s evaluation of recommendations related to incentives for the provision of affordable housing
not cited in Section 420.9076, F.S. These recommendations were previously approved in 2021 but were
evaluated and, if necessary, revised in 2022 to address current affordable housing barriers.

2.2.1 Adaptive Reuse
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding adaptive reuse occurred during the first AHAC meeting on September 13,
2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to
continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with no changes.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The City continues to allow for adaptive reuse if allowed within the zoning district where the
affordable housing project is located.
Of note, under Florida House Bill 1339 (June 2020), local governments may now approve affordable
housing development by right on any parcel zoned for residential, industrial, or commercial use.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with no changes:
12.1 Continue to allow “adaptive reuse” involving the conversion of surplus and/or outmoded
buildings including old churches, school buildings, hospitals, train stations, warehouses,
factories, etc. to mixed uses where permitted by zoning district.
Implementation:
Recommendation 12.1 is already implemented by the Community Development Code and will be
continued.
2.2.2 Land Development Code
Meeting Synopsis:
No specific issues with the City’s Community Development Code were identified during meetings with
the AHAC and City staff. The current standards remain acceptable. City staff clarified during the
second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, that the Community Development Code section
referenced in Recommendation 13.1 pertains to the affordable housing density bonus; however, the
“other criteria” thereunder are not currently codified.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to
continue Recommendation 13.1 with one minor change, replacing the word, “encourage” with the
word, “incentivize”.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
Design standards for affordable housing projects are generally addressed by Community Development
Code Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.A.3.c.i-iii. [Compatibility Criteria, Design Criteria, Green
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 28
Economic Development & Housing Department
Building Criteria]; however, the “other” criteria referenced in the 2017 AHAC Recommendation 13.1
are not addressed by Section 3-920.A.3.c.i-iii.
The 2014 AHAC identified the Community Development Code’s treatment of nonconforming
development as a barrier, citing the cost of bringing older properties “up-to-code” as prohibitive to
affordable housing. As a result of the 2014 AHAC recommendation to allow certain exceptions to the
50 percent limitation on nonconforming structures, Article 6 of the Community Development Code
was modified and adopted as Section 6-102.F.1-6. in June 2015. Because Recommendation 13.2 was
successfully implemented, Recommendation 13.2 was not continued by the 2017 AHAC. Only
Recommendation 13.1 (design standards) was continued.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with one minor change as shown in strikethrough/underline:
13.1 Continue to encourage incentivize developers to address recommended design standards
for affordable housing developments consistent with Sec. 3-920.A.3.c.i-iii. of the City of
Clearwater Community Development Code. Other criteria could include but are not limited
to:
• Provide direct and visual access to open space for residents.
• Consider play areas when developing family housing.
• Provide nighttime outdoor illumination for safety.
• Use landscape standards and buffers to screen nuisances and to separate public
and private areas.
• Centrally-locate common facilities.
• Use Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) when practical and
financially feasible.
Implementation:
Recommendation 13.1 is partially implemented by the Community Development Code. City staff will
continue to consider “other criteria” for potential amendments to Sec. 3-920.A.3.c.i-iii. of the
Community Development Code in support of affordable housing.
2.2.3 Communication and Marketing of Affordable Housing
Meeting Synopsis:
No discussion regarding communication and marketing of affordable housing occurred during the first
AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to modify
previous Recommendation 14.1 by amending and adding bullets under the recommendation. The
modified recommendation conveys the committee’s intent to communicate affordable housing
successes and outcomes with developers and other City boards and committees.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 29
Economic Development & Housing Department
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The Economic Development & Housing Department continues to develop materials to better market
its services to prospective developers of affordable housing. The Economic Development & Housing
Department works with the Public Communications Department to create awareness of affordable
housing programs through marketing materials, presentations, and press releases.
The City’s “Affordable Housing” webpage is a one-stop resource for affordable housing developers
and persons seeking housing assistance:
https://www.myclearwater.com/government/city-departments/affordable-housing
The webpage publishes plans and reports produced by the Housing Division, as well as information
on the City’s homeless prevention initiatives.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
14.1 Continue to improve current communication channels and marketing materials to reach
different stakeholders interested in affordable housing. Some of the suggested actions
include but are not limited to:
• Conduct an educational campaign, in conjunction with regular City
communications, to rebrand affordable housing as workforce housing that
supports the diverse needs of residents through a variety of unit/product types
compatible with the City’s neighborhoods.
• Partner with Amplify Clearwater and others to broadly promote the benefits of,
and opportunities for, affordable housing development in the City and to
communicate successes.
• Prepare, update, and keep current marketing materials for the general public in
order to promote the different housing programs that the City offers, including
homebuyer education and down payment assistance to support homeownership.
• Prepare, update, and keep current marketing materials that help developers and
the general public to understand the application criteria, permitting process, and
the number of incentives available for rehabilitation and new construction of
affordable housing units in the City.
• Make accessible to the public an inventory and a map of suitable residential
vacant land available for development.
• Include a section on the City’s webpage called, “Affordable Housing & Community
Development,” specifically dedicated to the promotion of affordable housing.
• Share outcomes and analytics with appropriate City boards and committees.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 30
Economic Development & Housing Department
Implementation:
City staff of the Economic Development & Housing Department will develop the educational campaign
to rebrand affordable housing and form a partnership with Amplify Clearwater to promote the City’s
Affordable Housing webpage and content thereon. In coordination with the Public Communications
Department, City staff will improve marketing of affordable housing incentives, including
communication of affordable housing successes and outcomes with developers and other City boards
and committees.
2.2.4 Financing
Meeting Synopsis:
Financing was discussed during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022. The AHAC discussed
other financing incentives for affordable housing, included federal assistance and grant programs.
Multiple factors contribute to housing costs and the menu of federal assistance and grant programs
is everchanging. The committee suggested providing information about the recent Inflation Reduction
Act (IRA) of 2022 and other financial incentives that would be helpful to residents and developers on
the City’s website. Coordination with the Hometown Heroes initiative was also mentioned, as was the
potential to seek financial compensation from the State of Florida.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee further discussed financing,
including potential use of general fund dollars for affordable housing. Financial assistance with energy
and cost efficiency improvements was also discussed. Although no changes were proposed to
Recommendations 15.1 and 15.2, the committee reviewed and agreed to continue these
recommendations. These recommendations were considered general enough to capture the
incentives discussed during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The Economic Development & Housing Department continues to leverage funds with other non-profit
housing providers (e.g., Habitat for Humanity, Foundations, Affordable Housing Developers,
Development Corporations, CHDOs, etc.) to finance the development of affordable housing, and
continuously seeks relationships with new qualified organizations. City staff also seeks new public-
private partnerships to help offset public investment and reduce private developer costs, as well as
partnerships with other local governments (e.g., Pinellas County) to co-fund impactful projects.
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continues the following recommendations from the
2021 LHIS report with no changes:
15.1 Diversify financial strategies to contribute to the new construction and maintenance of
affordable housing.
15.2 Evaluate the feasibility of reducing/paying code violation liens on lots suitable for
affordable housing development.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 31
Economic Development & Housing Department
Implementation:
Recommendations 15.1 will continue to be implemented by City staff of the Economic Development
& Housing Department, with further attention to making information available on the City’s website.
Recommendation 15.2 will require a change to City Council policy and feasibility of implementation
will need to be further evaluated.
2.2.5 Partnerships
Meeting Synopsis:
During the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022, the AHAC discussed several third-party barriers
to affordable housing that require partnerships outside of local government.
The AHAC discussed investor real estate, short-term rentals such as Airbnb, and general inflation as
barriers to affordable housing. It was noted that investors take affordable housing off the market,
drive-up costs, and compete with residents and affordable housing developers to buy properties.
The AHAC discussed the length of time to process Down Payment Assistance (DPA) loans, particularly
related to the timing of inspections and closings. The length of time is prohibitive to making repairs,
and contracts are lost over simple problems. Many of the issues identified were related to U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. The committee suggested
moving inspections to earlier in the process or focusing on basic four-point inspections (e.g., insurable
roof, electric, plumbing, etc.) and pre-approval for the first-time homebuyer as being essential.
The AHAC discussed the rising costs of homeowner insurance and property taxes, which are
particularly problematic for the elderly living on fixed incomes.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the committee reviewed and agreed to modify
previous Recommendation 16.1 by adding a new bullet under the recommendation. The modified
recommendation addresses the issue of DPA loans and inspection timing to facilitate closings.
Partnerships to address third-party barriers were already referenced in a previous bullet, which will
be continued.
Evaluation of Existing Strategy:
The Economic Development & Housing Department strives to keep an updated list of affordable
housing units and maintains a list of housing partners on the City’s website at:
https://www.myclearwater.com/government/city-departments/affordable-housing/resources-for-
residents
The Department also partners with other affordable housing providers to offer mentoring and
technical training, and to address topics such as foreclosure, Fair Housing, and other relevant issues.
The Department continues to improve its partnerships with local lenders, continues to work closely
with Pinellas County to seek mutual opportunities for the development of affordable housing, and
monitors statewide initiatives through the City’s lobbyist.
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 32
Economic Development & Housing Department
AHAC Recommendation:
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modifies the following recommendation from the
2021 LHIS report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
16.1 Develop public and private partnerships for the provision of affordable housing:
• Prepare, advertise, and maintain an inventory of affordable housing
providers/developers and any other related organization.
• Encourage partnerships between current and new affordable housing developers
for mentoring and technical training.
• Encourage and support joint development opportunities between the private
sector and non–profits to develop affordable housing.
• Engage lenders in an ongoing discussion with the City relative to underwriting and
credit standards, technology solutions, as well as the development of financial
products in an effort to maximize the financing options available to potential first-
time homebuyers through conventional and other lenders.
• Coordinate with Pinellas County joint programs for the provision of affordable
housing, including the Pinellas County Countywide Housing Strategy and
Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact.
• Monitor, and encourage citizens to lobby for, the development of statewide
legislative initiatives to gauge the local impact of their provisions.
• Coordinate with the private sector and non-profits to provide homebuyer
education, home warranties and other strategies that reduce the ongoing
maintenance risk of homeownership.
• Increase down payment assistance loan amounts to be viable for the homebuyer
while remaining financially feasible for the continued operation of the City’s
program.
• Improve the timing of Housing Quality Standards inspections to facilitate
closings on homes with down payment assistance loans, if feasible under
funding source requirements.
• Partner with the private sector and non-profits to address third-party barriers to
affordable housing and to identify appropriate incentives to reduce labor and
material costs for developers and maintenance and insurance costs for
homeowners.
Implementation:
Recommendation 16.1 is already implemented by City staff of the Economic Development & Housing
Department through ongoing public and private partnerships, which will be continued. Efforts to
reduce the maintenance risk of homeownership and to address third-party barriers to affordable
housing will require further coordination with these partners. City staff will coordinate with and
closely monitor regional and statewide affordable housing initiatives. In response to
recommendations from the 2022 AHAC, City staff will work with the Neighborhood and Affordable
City of Clearwater Local Housing Incentive Strategies | 33
Economic Development & Housing Department
Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) to address the issue of inspection timing to facilitate closings on
homes with DPA loans, if feasible under funding source requirements.

APPENDIX B: Affordable Housing in Clearwater
B.1 Housing Affordability
Affordability refers to the capacity that all income levels have to access a “decent and adequate” housing
unit within the housing market, either for rental or ownership. One measurement of affordable housing
is the percentage of annual income that a household pays toward housing-related costs. The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines “Cost Burdened” as when a household
spends more than 30% of their income on housing costs. However, for some State programs the burden
could be up to 35% depending on a specific household’s capacity. A household that pays more than 50%
of its annual income toward housing costs is considered by HUD to be “Severely Cost Burdened.”
According to estimates sourced from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing and Florida Housing
Data Clearinghouse, in 2020, 39% of the City’s households pay more than 30% of their income for housing.
By comparison, 35% of households statewide are cost-burdened. Approximately 18% of the City’s
households pay more than 50% of income for housing.
The City of Clearwater’s Comprehensive Plan defines affordable housing in Policy C.1.2.5 of the Housing
Element:
“C.1.2.5 – Define Affordable Housing as any residential dwelling unit leased or owned by
a household with a household income of one hundred twenty percent (120%) or less of the
adjusted area median family income for Pinellas County, Florida, as determined by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The rental rates for leased
Workforce Affordable Housing Units shall not exceed the rates published by the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation for annual “Maximum Rents by Number of Bedroom Unit”
for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For non-
rental units, the sales price may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the average area price
for the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA, as established by the annual revenue
procedure which provides issuers of qualified mortgage bonds, as defined in Section 143(a)
of the internal Revenue Code, and issuers of mortgage credit certificates, as defined in
Section 25(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, with the nationwide average purchase price
for the residences located in the United States.”
B.2 Barriers and Incentives
According to HUD, a regulatory barrier is "a public regulatory requirement, payment, or process that
significantly impedes the development or availability of affordable housing without providing a
commensurate health and/or safety benefit."2 Understanding barriers is the first step to transform them
into incentives for the supply of affordable housing. The AHAC conducted a comprehensive overview of
2 Stowell, C; Shelburne, M. (2004). Responding to HUD's Affordable Communities Initiative: Will It Make a Difference? The Practitioner Planner,
American Planning Association, Winter 2004.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
affordable housing barriers to understand potential relationships of what, from the City’s perspective,
could be done to incentivize the supply of affordable housing.
This comprehensive approach helped the AHAC to look beyond the analysis required by Section 420.9076,
F.S. and to prioritize recommendations. In that sense, the recommendations of the AHAC targeted areas
and barriers within the domain of the City of Clearwater’s basic responsibilities: provide policy direction
through the City’s Comprehensive Plan; provide incentives through the Community Development Code;
and facilitate information and the permitting process.
Chart 1 summarizes potential barriers to affordable housing.
Chart 1: Affordable Housing Barriers
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
B.3 Issues in Supplying Affordable Housing
Built-out communities, such as Clearwater, have pressures for the provision of affordable housing due to
increasing land values; limited availability of vacant developable land; skyrocketing construction costs due
to inflation and demand for building material supplies; and labor market imbalances. In addition, other
third-party costs of home acquisition (i.e., property taxes and insurance) create a financial burden for
citizens.
Beginning in 2008 and most recently in 2021, the AHAC identified the most significant issues for the
provision of affordable housing in the City. The following summarizes the significant issues that are
relevant in 2022:
• Size of City-Owned Properties (Barrier). Because the City of Clearwater is mostly built-out,
affordable housing development opportunities are limited due to the lack of available land.
In 2022, the AHAC discussed the Inventory of Public Lands (i.e., City-owned property list) that
is updated annually during the LHIS process. The committee noted that many of the
properties on the list are too small, which limits the scale of affordable housing development
that can occur. Small parcels are a barrier to affordable housing. The committee noted the
need for larger parcels to effectively support affordable housing developments. The
committee also suggested potential coordination with Pinellas County’s Inventory of Public
Lands to identify unincorporated properties near or within the City’s limits (e.g., enclaves)
that could provide affordable housing opportunities in the area. To address this barrier, the
City recently increased the minimum lot size for donated properties.
• Alternative Housing Types/Co-Housing (Incentive). In 2022, the AHAC discussed allowing for
Co-Housing and flexibility for other alternative housing types such as Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) as potential incentives for affordable housing. Co-Housing was discussed as an option
for seniors and young professionals that cannot afford a larger apartment unit or single-family
residence. Such alternative housing types may encourage a diverse supply of housing types
and mix of income levels consistent with the guiding principles of the LHIS report.
• Investor Real Estate/Short Term Rentals Competition (Barrier). In 2022, the AHAC discussed
investor real estate, short-term rentals such as Airbnb, and general inflation as barriers to
affordable housing. It was noted that investors take affordable housing off the market, drive-
up costs, and compete with residents and affordable housing developers to buy properties.
• DPA Loans, Length of Time for Inspections/Closing (Barrier). In 2022, the AHAC discussed the
length of time to process Down Payment Assistance (DPA) loans, particularly related to the
timing of inspections and closings. The length of time is prohibitive to making repairs, and
contracts are lost over simple problems. Many of the issues identified were related to U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements for financial assistance.
The committee suggested moving inspections to earlier in the process or focusing on basic
four-point inspections (e.g., insurable roof, electric, plumbing, etc.) and pre-approval for the
first-time homebuyer as being essential.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Homeowner Insurance/Property Taxes (Barrier). In 2022, the AHAC discussed the rising costs
of homeowner insurance and property taxes, which are particularly problematic for the
elderly living on fixed incomes.
• Federal Assistance/Grants (Incentive). In 2022, the AHAC discussed other incentives to
affordable housing, included federal assistance and grant programs. The committee
suggested providing information about the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and
other incentives that would be helpful to residents and developers on the City’s website.
Coordination with the Hometown Heroes initiative was also mentioned, as was the potential
to get financial compensation from the State of Florida.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
APPENDIX C: Values, Principles and Vision
C.1 The Value of Affordable Housing
The AHAC discussed and confirmed the value that affordable housing brings to the City’s development.
The AHAC found that affordable housing in the City of Clearwater:
A) Supports a dynamic and competitive economy.
There is an intrinsic relationship between a dynamic economy and affordable housing. The
existence of affordable housing units is a variable that supports business location thus job
creation. The City, which is nearly built-out, has the opportunity to capitalize on its existing urban
fabric through urban renewal and infill development. Such investment in the City would have
positive impacts on the local economy and increase Clearwater’s ability to compete with other
cities.
B) Improves social well-being and build sense of community.
Housing is a fundamental human need. Consideration of social well-being, including long-term
housing stability, is imperative for the future of the City. There is a need for improved job
opportunities, as well as for a simple, understandable process for achieving housing, especially
for those in low to moderate-income households. Education and motivation for home ownership
are also important aspects of the City’s future.
C) Ensures that the City’s workforce can live within the City.
There is a growing need for affordable “workforce” housing within the community, specifically for
police, fire, and other service employees. There is also a need to draw the workforce back into
the City to reduce commute distances, to reduce crime, and to restore a sense of pride in the
community.
C.2 Principles for Clearwater’s Affordable Housing
The AHAC discussed, confirmed, and amended the principles that provision of affordable housing in the
City of Clearwater should embrace. The AHAC found that affordable housing in the City of Clearwater
should be:
1) Affordable over the long-term.
Affordable housing is readily available and reasonably priced. Mortgage rates for affordable
housing are structured to allow people to keep their homes over the long-term and to age in
place. Rental rates for affordable housing are fair and reasonable. The cost of maintaining a home
(e.g., fees, maintenance, etc.) is practical.
2) Diverse supply that provides for a mix of income levels and the diverse needs of residents.
Affordable housing is comprised of diverse unit types that support a mix of income levels and the
diverse needs of residents, incorporating rental and ownership opportunities.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
3) Designed to be Ssustainable, well-designed energy and cost efficient, and to minimizes physical
barriers to accessibility.
Affordable housing uses innovative and sustainable materials and technologies. Floor plans are
designed for “living” and construction materials, including fixtures, are energy and cost efficient.
Structures are safe, functional, and accessible.
4) In aesthetic character with the surrounding neighborhood.
Affordable housing blends into the architectural fabric and aesthetic character of the community.
Public open spaces are designed for safety and visibility but well-landscaped. Fences or other
barriers are architectural and transparent.
5) Strategically-located and pedestrian-oriented with access to mass transit, open spaces,
educational institutions, and employment or workforce training opportunities.
Affordable housing is located near civic centers, educational institutions, and employment
opportunities. Residents enjoy pedestrian-oriented facilities with access to mass transit and open
spaces.
6) Incentivized to promote incorporation of affordable housing into all non-affordable housing
developments.
Affordable housing is incentivized to promote the construction of mixed-income housing
developments that incorporate both affordable and non-affordable housing units into the same
project.
C.3 Vision
In order to develop a vision for affordable housing as part of the Local Housing Incentive Strategies, the
AHAC summarized the value of providing affordable housing for the City as well as the principles. The
following statement summarizes the AHAC’s vision of affordable housing for the City:
The City of Clearwater will encourage incentivize the development of a diverse supply of housing
that is safe, affordable, sustainable, and well-designed energy and cost efficient, that blends into
the aesthetic character of all the City’s neighborhoods proximate to public amenities and
employment opportunities, which supports an inclusive community and the diverse needs of
residents.

APPENDIX D: Advisory Committee Meeting Summaries
D.1 AHAC Meeting #1, September 13, 2022
2022 Update of Local Housing Incentive Strategies
AHAC Meeting #1 | September 13, 2022 | 9:00 a.m.
Council Chambers, Main Library (100 N. Osceola Ave.)
MEETING SUMMARY
The City of Clearwater requested that Wade Trim facilitate an update of the City’s Local Housing Incentive Strategies
(LHIS) report, which was last updated in 2021. An 11-member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) representing various affordable housing interests was appointed by the City Council on September 1, 2022, to
evaluate and update the 2021 LHIS report. The first meeting with the AHAC was held on September 13, 2022, at
Council Chambers, Main Library (100 N. Osceola Ave.). Ten (10) AHAC members, City staff, and the City’s consultant
attended the meeting:
• Maria (Gaby) Camacho Representative of those areas of labor engaged in home building in
connection with affordable housing
• Robyn Fiel Representative of the banking or mortgage industry in connection
with affordable housing
• Peter Scalia An advocate for low-income persons in connection with affordable
housing
• Lindsay Dicus-Harrison Representative of those who are actively engaged as a real estate
professional in connection with affordable housing
• Carmen Santiago A citizen who resides within the City of Clearwater
• Camille Hebting (Chair) Representative of employers within the City of Clearwater
• Kevin Chinault Representative of a not-for-profit provider of affordable housing
• Pierre Cournoyer Representative of the residential home building industry
• Bruce Rector Member serving on the local planning agency
• Kathleen Beckman A locally elected official (City Councilmember)
• Denise Sanderson City of Clearwater, Economic Develop. & Housing, Director
• Terry Malcolm-Smith City of Clearwater, Economic Develop. & Housing, Housing Coordinator
• Gina Clayton City of Clearwater, Planning and Development, Director
• Patricia Sullivan City of Clearwater, Board Reporter
• Amanda Warner Wade Trim, Planner (City’s Consultant)
• Sarah Mastison Wade Trim, Planner (City’s Consultant)
One (1) AHAC member was not in attendance: Jacqueline Rivera (representative of essential services personnel).
The purpose of the first AHAC meeting was to educate the new committee on the City’s existing LHIS report, review
its values, principles and vision, as well as identify current barriers and potential incentives related to the facilitation
of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater. The first AHAC meeting was publicly advertised on the City’s Granicus
system, held in-person with opportunity for public comment, and recorded for later viewing on the City’s Granicus
system.
Welcome and Introductions
AHAC Chair, Camille Hebting, called the meeting to order, conducted a roll call of attendance, and introduced the
Consultant. The Consultant explained the purpose of the meeting and provided an overview of the agenda for the
meeting, to include a presentation and facilitated committee discussion.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
Summary of Presentation to AHAC
The Consultant presented an overview of the LHIS update process, including the history and duties of the AHAC,
meeting requirements, schedule of events toward approval/submittal, definitions of affordable housing, and
components of the LHIS report. The overview was presented in Microsoft PowerPoint format. AHAC members were
notified of a schedule change, moving the public hearing from Tuesday, November 8, 2022 to Monday, November
7, 2022, to avoid conflicts with election day. The committee acknowledged and confirmed the schedule change. The final schedule of events presented to the AHAC included:
• August 2022 – City designates staff and selects AHAC members
• September 1, 2022 – City Council appoints members to AHAC
• September 13, and October 11, 2022 – AHAC meets to update LHIS report
• November 7, 2022 – AHAC holds public hearing to approve updated LHIS report
• December 1, 2022 – City Council holds public hearing to approve updated LHIS report for submittal to
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC)
• December 31, 2022 – Deadline to submit LHIS report to FHFC
• March 31, 2023 – City Council to adopt amendments to LHAP to incorporate LHIS
• May 2, 2023 – Submit amended LHAP with proof of City Council approval to FHFC
The Consultant presented the values statements of the 2021 LHIS report and invited feedback from the AHAC members on whether the values still resonate with current affordable housing issues in the City of Clearwater. The
committee discussed whether “mixed-income housing” should be added as a value. Because mixed-income housing
is potentially covered by value, “C. Ensures that the City’s workforce can live within the City,” the Consultant
suggested that language regarding mixed-income housing might be better suited to the principles section of the LHIS
report. The committee then tabled the discussion of mixed-income housing until the principles section was discussed
later in the meeting. The AHAC deemed all other values in the 2021 LHIS report still relevant to affordable housing
in the City of Clearwater. These values will be continued in the 2022 LHIS report.
The Consultant presented the principle statements of the 2021 LHIS report and invited feedback from the AHAC
members on whether the principles still resonate with current affordable housing issues in the City of Clearwater.
The AHAC discussed and directed the Consultant to edit several principles, including current principle #2, #3, and
#4, and to consider a new principle #6.
The discussion surrounding mixed-income housing continued regarding current principle #2 and whether requiring
mixed-income housing in all developments could be too limiting or create additional barriers to affordability.
Ultimately, the AHAC directed the Consultant to add a new principle #6 to read, “Incorporate affordable housing
into all non-affordable housing developments.”
Regarding current principle #3, the AHAC discussed the vagueness of the term, “well-designed” and suggested
replacing it with the term, “energy efficient” or “cost-efficient” to address that aspect of affordability. The AHAC
suggested that current principle #3 be edited to read, “Designed to be sustainable, energy and cost efficient, and to
minimize physical barriers to accessibility.”
Regarding current principle #4, the AHAC discussed whether requiring development to be “in character with the
surrounding neighborhood” could be too limiting or create additional barriers to affordability. The committee’s
discussion focused on different aspects of neighborhood compatibility, from building construction and size/type to
architectural design. After much discussion, the Consultant noted that the focus of the committee’s discussion
seemed to favor aesthetic compatibility over other aspects of compatibility, and the Consultant suggested that
current principle #4 be edited to read, “In aesthetic character with the surrounding neighborhood.” The AHAC tabled further discussion of the principle statements until the next meeting, when the Consultant brings back the edited
principle statements for the AHAC’s consideration.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
The Consultant presented the vision statement of the 2021 LHIS report and invited feedback from the AHAC
members on whether the vision still resonates with current affordable housing issues in the City of Clearwater. The
AHAC tabled discussion of the vision statement until the next meeting, when the Consultant brings back the edited
principle statements for the AHAC’s consideration.
As a result of AHAC direction, the Consultant will bring back edited language specific to the principle statements
discussed (i.e., current #2, #3, and #4, and new #6) for consideration by the AHAC at the next meeting scheduled for
October 11, 2022. Committee Discussion
During the meeting, AHAC members were asked to discuss any perceived barriers to affordable housing that
presently exist, as well as potential incentives to reduce these barriers. Members were asked to consider barriers
and incentives with regard to City programs/procedures, the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and the City’s Community
Development Code. The following provides a summary of the committee’s discussion of current issues affecting the
provision of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater.
Size of City-Owned Properties (Barrier)
The AHAC discussed the City-owned property list that is updated annually during the LHIS process. The committee
noted that many of the properties on the list are too small, which limits the scale of affordable housing development
that can occur. Small parcels are a barrier to affordable housing. The committee noted the need for larger parcels
to effectively support affordable housing developments. The committee also suggested potential coordination with
Pinellas County’s inventory and unincorporated properties near or within the City’s limits (e.g., enclaves) that could
provide affordable housing opportunities in the area. City staff commented that the City has increased the minimum
lot size for donated properties to address this issue.
Alternative Housing Types/Co-Housing (Incentive)
The AHAC discussed allowing for Co-Housing and flexibility for other alternative housing types such as Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) as potential incentives for affordable housing. Co-Housing was discussed as an option for
seniors and young professionals that cannot afford a larger apartment unit or single-family residence. Such
alternative housing types may encourage a diverse supply of housing types and mix of income levels consistent with
the guiding principles of the LHIS report.
Investor Real Estate/Short Term Rentals Competition (Barrier)
The AHAC discussed investor real estate, short-term rentals such as Airbnb, and general inflation as barriers to
affordable housing. It was noted that investors take affordable housing off the market, drive-up costs, and compete with residents and affordable housing developers to buy properties.
DPA Loans, Length of Time for Inspections/Closing (Barrier)
The AHAC discussed the length of time to process Down Payment Assistance (DPA) loans, particularly related to the
timing of inspections and closings. The length of time is prohibitive to making repairs, and contracts are lost over
simple problems. Many of the issues identified were related to HUD requirements. The committee suggested moving
inspections to earlier in the process or focusing on basic 4-point inspections (e.g., insurable roof, electric, plumbing,
etc.) and pre-approval for the first-time homebuyer as being essential.
Homeowner Insurance/Property Taxes (Barrier)
The AHAC discussed the rising costs of homeowner insurance and property taxes, which are particularly problematic
for the elderly living on fixed incomes.
Federal Assistance/Grants (Incentive)
The AHAC discussed other incentives to affordable housing, included federal assistance and grant programs. The
committee suggested providing information about the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and other
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
incentives that would be helpful to residents and developers on the City’s website. Coordination with the Hometown
Heroes initiative was also mentioned, as was the potential to get financial compensation from the State of Florida.
Benchmarking (General)
The AHAC discussed benchmarking, generally. The committee requested information about the number of
affordable housing units that have been added to the inventory in recent years (e.g., 2017-2022), including how
many units were produced versus preserved. Additionally, the committee asked about potential coordination with
the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for CDBG and HOME (i.e., HUD programs). The committee also requested
information about other jurisdictions’ AHAC recommendations to identify other creative incentives that could be
considered for implementation in the City of Clearwater.
AHAC Meeting Format/Time (General)
The AHAC discussed whether future meetings should be held at different times or more frequently to allow for more
public input. The committee was advised that the minimum meeting requirements are set by Florida Statute, but
that adjustments beyond the minimums could be considered in the future.
Public Comment
AHAC Chair, Camille Hebting, invited public comment and asked if anyone was there to speak publicly. Only one
person requested to speak publicly during the first AHAC meeting and commented that energy efficiency is
important to lower the cost of living, referencing the Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 report. The same person also
commented that the City should consider leveraging City incentives with other incentives (e.g., Federal IRA of 2022,
etc.).
Next Steps
After the committee discussion, the Consultant referenced the 2021 LHIS report that was previously completed by
City staff. The Consultant requested that AHAC members review the 2021 LHIS report as to whether past
recommendations should be continued, modified, or removed as part of the LHIS update.
The second AHAC meeting will be held on October 11, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. at the Main Library (100 N. Osceola Avenue)
Council Chambers. During this second AHAC meeting, City staff and the Consultant will respond to questions
generated during the first AHAC meeting or through review of the City’s current practices, and then facilitate AHAC
discussion of critical recommendations for inclusion in the 2022 LHIS report.
The committee is hereby reminded that the AHAC is a public advisory board and is subject to Florida’s “Sunshine
Law” therefore committee members may not discuss AHAC matters with other committee members outside of a
properly noticed and recorded public meeting. AHAC members are encouraged to contact City staff directly to
discuss AHAC matters.

MEETING SUMMARY
The City of Clearwater requested that Wade Trim facilitate an update of the City’s Local Housing Incentive Strategies
(LHIS) report, which was last updated in 2021. An 11-member Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC)

Approval of AHAC Meeting Minutes from September 13, 2022
The AHAC reviewed and approved the meeting minutes from September 13, 2022, by motion, second, and
unanimous vote.
Summary of Presentation to AHAC
Chuck Lane, Assistant Director of the Economic Development & Housing Department, addressed the committee and
provided City staff responses to items discussed during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022. Mr. Lane
reported that 854 affordable housing units were added since 2017, through a combination of down payment
assistance, rehabilitation, and new construction. Mr. Lane provided information about the City’s Affordable Housing
Inventory List (i.e., list of City-owned properties), discussed timing considerations pertaining to the AHAC meetings,
and discussed inclusionary zoning. Regarding inclusionary zoning, Mr. Lane discussed the City’s current affordable
housing incentives (e.g., density bonus) and the requirement under Florida Statute to offset the cost of affordable
housing for the developer. Mr. Lane furthered that the City should understand all costs associated with incentives,
but not deter the development of affordable housing.
The AHAC then discussed the need for mixed income housing. The committee also discussed moving the meeting
times to later in the day and additional advertising in the future to encourage citizen participation. Mr. Lane informed
that committee that e-comments may be submitted in advance of the meeting as another opportunity for input.
Amanda Warner, Wade Trim Planner (Consultant), then explained the purpose of the meeting and provided an
overview of the agenda for the meeting, to include a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format and facilitated
AHAC discussion.
The Consultant reviewed the LHIS update process and schedule of events toward approval/submittal. The schedule
of events included:
• August 2022 – City designates staff and selects AHAC members
• September 1, 2022 – City Council appoints members to AHAC
• September 13, and October 11, 2022 – AHAC meets to update LHIS report
• November 7, 2022 – AHAC holds public hearing to approve updated LHIS report
• December 1, 2022 – City Council holds public hearing to approve updated LHIS report for submittal to
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC)
• December 31, 2022 – Deadline to submit LHIS report to FHFC
• March 31, 2023 – City Council to adopt amendments to LHAP to incorporate LHIS
• May 2, 2023 – Submit amended LHAP with proof of City Council approval to FHFC
In response to the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022, the Consultant proposed specific changes to the
affordable housing principles and vision statement as requested by the committee. These changes are shown below
(in underline and strikethrough).
Affordable Housing Principles
. . .
3. Designed to be Ssustainable, well-designed energy and cost efficient, and to minimizes physical barriers
to accessibility.
. . .
4. In aesthetic character with the surrounding neighborhood. . . .
6. Incentivized to promote incorporation of affordable housing into all non-affordable housing
developments.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
Affordable Housing Vision
The City of Clearwater will encourage the development of a diverse supply of housing that is safe, affordable,
sustainable, and well-designed energy and cost efficient, that blends into the aesthetic character of all the
City’s neighborhoods proximate to public amenities and employment opportunities, which supports an inclusive
community and the diverse needs of residents.
The AHAC discussed and accepted the proposed changes to the existing principles #3, and #4, and new principle #6,
and the proposed changes to the vision statement. New principle #6 was modified to begin with the word,
“incentivize” in response to Mr. Lane’s address at the beginning of the meeting.
The Consultant then presented the barriers and incentives to affordable housing identified at the first AHAC meeting
on September 13, 2022, and in response to comments received from City staff regarding the City’s current practices.
Proposed changes to the existing recommendations within the 2021 LHIS report were discussed with the committee.
If an AHAC-identified barrier to affordable housing and corresponding incentive was already addressed by an existing
recommendation within the 2021 LHIS report, those recommendations were highlighted.
Committee Discussion
During the second meeting, the Consultant facilitated AHAC discussion of recommendations for inclusion in the 2022
LHIS report. The discussion focused on strategies to address the affordable housing barriers and incentives identified
by the AHAC during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022. Such barriers and strategies included size of
City-owned properties, alternative housing types/co-housing, investor real estate/short-term rentals, DPA loans and
the length of time for inspections/closings, homeowner insurance/property taxes, and federal assistance/grants.
The following provides a summary of the committee’s discussion of recommendations to incentivize the provision
of affordable housing in the City of Clearwater:
1) Expedited Review
The “Request for Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity” form was discussed, along with
the duration of single-family permit reviews. Although recent amendments to Recommendation 1.1 require
reviews of single-family permit applications to be completed in four days of the initial submittal and three days
of all subsequent submittals, committee member Gaby Camacho stated that the actual review time has proved
to be longer. City staff responded that permit volume often impacts review times. The designation of an
“Affordable Housing Advocate” was discussed as a means of expediting the review process, as was the creation
of an affordable housing “dashboard” on the City’s website.
The AHAC also discussed whether any single-family developers have submitted template plans for pre-screening to expedite the permit review process. City staff responded that although regularly encouraged, no template
plans have been submitted. The AHAC discussed the potential of purchasing template plans to make available
as an incentive for affordable housing.
Changes proposed to Recommendations 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4 were reviewed and agreed to by the committee. These
changes focus on the committee’s intention to either continue or act more affirmatively on the previous
recommendations.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modified the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
1.1 Continue to use the “Request for Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity” form
to fast-track affordable housing projects. Projects submitted with this form will receive priority
during the permit review process. Continue to strive to by completeing reviews of single-family
permit reviews within four days of the initial submittal and within three days of all subsequent
submittals.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
1.2 The Assistant Director of Economic Development & Housing and Permit Manager should will
continue to be the primary and secondary points of contact when submitting affordable housing
projects. Through close coordination, these two staff positions should will:
• Create and oversee an affordable housing “One Stop Streamline Permitting Process.”
• Act as a liaison between the developer and all departments involved in the review and
permitting process.
• Organize and participate in the pre-application meetings.
• Provide necessary information and forms to the developer to avoid delays during the
application and review process.
• Create a process and definitive project requirement checklist for affordable housing
projects for each level of review and stage of permitting.
• Create a definitive but feasible review timeline for affordable housing projects considering
variables such as the type, size and impact in the community depending on the level of
review and stage of permitting.
• Release to the applicant and all City departments involved at once, written statements for
additional requirements and project determinations.
• Track the review process through the City’s online ePermit system.
• Report to the developer the status of the application.
1.3 Continue to improve customer service toward potential project applicants by:
• Maintaining a positive attitude
• Offering a quick response time via email or phone calls
• Making available project requirements and forms
• Providing a list of potential mentors experienced in affordable housing development
• Utilizing new technology to enhance administrative efficiencies and to educate developers
about the City’s affordable housing incentives and permitting process by means of link
sharing, web forms, videos/webinars, virtual meetings/forums, and other tools
1.4 Publish Review and annually update a brochure or and other informational handouts to be
published in a prominent location on the City’s Affordable Housing webpage that explains the City's
development approval and permitting process to developers, including but not limited to:
• Relationship between City and County policies and the regulation of land use, density, and
intensity
• City-sponsored incentives for affordable housing such as the "Request for Expedited
Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity" form, Affordable Housing Density
Bonus, Parking Reductions, and Nonconforming Exemption for Affordable Housing
1.5 Encourage affordable housing developers of single-family homes to submit frequently used
template plans for pre-screening by the Building Official to further expedite the staff permit review
process.
2) Modification of Fees
Changes to the AHAC’s previous recommendations were proposed, focusing on the committee’s intention to
either continue or act more affirmatively on previous recommendations. Additionally, discussion surrounding
Recommendation 2.2 proposed adding benchmarking language such as “on par” with other municipalities in
Pinellas County to achieve fee competitiveness.
Changes proposed to Recommendations 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 were reviewed and agreed to by the committee.
The previous 2021 recommendation regarding development of a new Parks & Recreation impact fee structure to reduce or waive impact fees for affordable housing was completed; therefore, that recommendation is
removed.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modified the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
2.1 Coordinate with Pinellas County, as feasible, regarding data-based rate flexibility within the multi-
modal impact fee to support the provision of affordable housing.
2.2 Continue to assess the financial, legal, and administrative feasibility of reducing, refunding, or
redefining (by unit size) the costs of impact fees and/or permitting fees related to the development
of affordable housing with the goal of being on par with other municipalities in Pinellas County.
2.3 The Planning & Development Department will recommend amending continue to implement the
fee Schedule of Fees Rates and Charges ordinance to provide for a reduction in the Plan Review and
Permit Fees for single-family homes.
2.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department will develop a policy continue to assist with
the payment of Plan Review and Permit Fees and impact fees utilizing state and federal funds
designated for affordable housing.
3) Flexible Densities
The committee reviewed and agreed to continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with
no changes.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with no changes:
3.1 Continue to provide allowance of density flexibility for affordable housing developments.
3.2 Maintain specific parameters to grant density flexibility for affordable housing projects as allowed
in the Community Development Code within the different zoning districts.
3.3 Continue to define the density allowance for an affordable housing project as part of a pre-
application meeting prior to formal submission of the civil/site engineering requirements.
4) Infrastructure Capacity
The City’s infrastructure capacity was not identified as an affordable housing barrier during meetings with the
AHAC and City staff. The City of Clearwater is nearly built-out and has sufficient infrastructure capacity for infill
development. Therefore, there is no need to reserve infrastructure capacity. The committee reviewed and
agreed to continue the previous recommendation of “no recommendation” from the 2021 LHIS report with no
changes.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC made no change to the following as previously approved:
We do not recommend that the City of Clearwater include the reservation of infrastructure capacity for housing
for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income persons as an incentive for the
provision of affordable housing.
5) Accessory Dwelling Units
The committee continued Recommendations 5.1 and 5.2 with no changes. Recommendation 5.1 is already
implemented by the Community Development Code. Recommendation 5.2 is partially implemented and will be
revisited during the City’s Comprehensive Plan update process in 2023. Changes were proposed to
Recommendation 5.3, focusing on the committee’s intention to consider incentives for other alternative
housing types such as co-housing beyond traditional accessory dwelling units. These changes were reviewed
and agreed to by the committee.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modified the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
5.1 Continue to allow for accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts as described within
the City’s Community Development Code.
5.2 Revisit with City Council Comprehensive Plan Policy C.1.1.2 and Policy C.1.1.8 to consider allowing
one accessory dwelling unit on a residential lot of any size provided that certain criteria are met.
Such criteria may include:
• Maximum unit size, parking standards, setback, and height requirements to facilitate
review and to ensure neighborhood compatibility, which may be presented using a pattern
book or similar means to expedite approval.
• Occupancy/tenure requirements so that the principal dwelling unit remains owner-
occupied, the accessory dwelling unit is not used for short-term rental, and the number of
occupants is limited to that which is reasonable for the unit size.
5.3 Expand the definition of accessory dwelling unit to include tiny homes and Provide flexibility for
other alternative unit types such as co-housing to incentivize unconventional solutions to address
affordable housing needs and support aging-in-place within existing neighborhoods.
6) Parking Reductions
The committee reviewed and agreed to continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with
no changes.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with no changes:
6.1 Continue to allow flexible setback requirements for affordable housing developments.
6.2 Continue to tie reductions of off-street parking requirements to proximity and access to alternative
modes of transportation, including transit, sidewalks, trails, or other options.
7) Flexible Lot Configurations
The committee reviewed and agreed to continue the previous recommendations from the 2021 LHIS report with
no changes.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendation from the 2021 LHIS
report with no changes:
7.1 Continue to allow flexible lot configurations for affordable housing developments while remaining
sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods.
8) Modification of Street Requirements
Street requirements were not identified as an affordable housing barrier during meetings with the AHAC and
City staff. Therefore, modification of the City’s existing street requirements was not recommended.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC made no change to the following as previously approved:
Because such standards are in place to benefit public health and safety, we do not recommend that the City
utilize the modification of street requirements as an incentive for affordable housing.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
9) Pre-Adoption Policy Consideration
One minor change to Recommendation 9.1 was proposed, focusing on the committee’s intention to act more
affirmatively on the previous recommendation. The minor change proposed to Recommendations 9.1 was
reviewed and agreed to by the committee. Recommendation 9.2 was continued with no change.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with minor changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
9.1 As part of its annual reporting, the Economic Development & Housing Department should will
continue to review all regulations and ordinances that may affect the cost of housing.
9.2 Continue the review process maintained by the Senior Executive Team through which any new
regulatory instrument created in the City (Ordinances, regulations, etc.) can be evaluated for its
effect on housing affordability.
10) Inventory of Public Lands
Changes proposed to Recommendations 10.1, 10.2, 10.4, and 10.5 were reviewed and agreed to by the
committee. These changes convey the committee’s intention to act more affirmatively on the previous
recommendations. Recommendation 10.3 was continued with no changes.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC modified the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with changes as shown in strikethrough/underline:
10.1 The Economic Development & Housing Department should will continue to maintain the inventory
of publicly-owned land suitable for the development of affordable housing.
10.2 Continue to publish the public land inventory owned by the City for affordable housing, and a link
to Pinellas County’s inventory, on the City’s webpage for prospective developers and non-profit
agencies for developing affordable housing.
10.3 Continue to make publicly-owned land available to prospective developers and non-profit agencies
for developing affordable housing.
10.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department should will coordinate with the Planning &
Development Department to identify properties having repeat code violations that may be suitable
for rehabilitation, acquisition, or demolition for affordable housing.
10.5 Develop a new Continue to monitor the policy/procedure for distribution of city owned lots.
Consider including energy efficient items and related emerging technologies into the scoring
matrix to support environmentally friendly development in partnership with the Greenprint 2.0
timeline.
11) Proximity to Transportation, Employment, and Mixed-Use Development
One minor change was proposed to Recommendation 11.1 to change the word, “should” to “will” to
affirmatively act on the recommendation.
During the second AHAC meeting on October 11, 2022, the minor change proposed to Recommendation 11.1
was reviewed and agreed to by the committee.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendation from the 2021 LHIS
report with one minor change as shown in strikethrough/underline:

available for development.
• Include a section on the City’s webpage called, “Affordable Housing & Community Development,” specifically dedicated to the promotion of affordable housing.
• Share outcomes and analytics with appropriate City boards and committees.
15) Additional – Financing
The committee further discussed financing, including potential use of general fund dollars for affordable
housing. Financial assistance with energy and cost efficiency improvements was also discussed. Although no changes were proposed to Recommendations 15.1 and 15.2, the committee reviewed and agreed to continue
these recommendations. These recommendations were considered general enough to capture the incentives
discussed during the first AHAC meeting on September 13, 2022.
Upon review of current City practices, the AHAC continued the following recommendations from the 2021 LHIS
report with no changes:
15.1 Diversify financial strategies to contribute to the new construction and maintenance of affordable
housing.

initiatives to gauge the local impact of their provisions.
• Coordinate with the private sector and non-profits to provide homebuyer education, home
warranties and other strategies that reduce the ongoing maintenance risk of
homeownership.
• Increase down payment assistance loan amounts to be viable for the homebuyer while
remaining financially feasible for the continued operation of the City’s program.
• Improve the timing of Housing Quality Standards inspections to facilitate closings on homes with down payment assistance loans, if feasible under funding source
requirements.
• Partner with the private sector and non-profits to address third-party barriers to
affordable housing and to identify appropriate incentives to reduce labor and material
costs for developers and maintenance and insurance costs for homeowners.
Public Comment
AHAC Chair, Camille Hebting, asked if anyone from the public wished to speak. A written comment was read into the
record by Patricia Sullivan, Board Reporter, regarding the allowance of ADUs in residential districts, the need for
rental/utility assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, and energy efficiency to offset housing costs.
Next Steps
City staff and the Consultant will respond to the AHAC’s direction to continue or modify recommendations as
discussed at the second AHAC meeting held on October 11, 2022. City staff will present the updated 2022 LHIS report
at the AHAC public hearing on November 7, 2022, which will be publicly noticed in advance. Prior to the public
hearing, the draft will be posted with the agenda on the City’s website and provided to the AHAC for review. Once
approved by the AHAC by affirmative majority vote at the public hearing, the updated 2022 LHIS report will be
submitted to the Clearwater City Council.

APPENDIX E: Summary of AHAC Recommendations
The following summarizes the AHAC’s updated recommendations as outlined in Section II of the LHIS
report. The AHAC reviewed the City’s current practices and met on November 7, 2022, to hear the
following recommendations to incentivize the provision of affordable housing. Once approved by the
AHAC, the recommendations were presented to City Council on December 1, 2022.
E.1 Expedited Review Process
Recommendation 1.1 Continue to use the “Request for Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable
Housing Activity” form to fast-track affordable housing projects. Projects
submitted with this form will receive priority during the permit review process by
completing reviews of single-family permit reviews within four days of the initial
submittal and within three days of all subsequent submittals.
Recommendation 1.2 The Assistant Director of Economic Development & Housing and Permit Manager
will continue to be the primary and secondary points of contact when submitting
affordable housing projects. Through close coordination, these two staff positions
will:
• Create and oversee an affordable housing “One Stop Streamline Permitting
Process.”
• Act as a liaison between the developer and all departments involved in the review
and permitting process.
• Organize and participate in the pre-application meetings.
• Provide necessary information and forms to the developer to avoid delays during
the application and review process.
• Create a process and definitive project requirement checklist for affordable
housing projects for each level of review and stage of permitting.
• Create a definitive but feasible review timeline for affordable housing projects
considering variables such as the type, size and impact in the community
depending on the level of review and stage of permitting.
• Release to the applicant and all City departments involved at once, written
statements for additional requirements and project determinations.
• Track the review process through the City’s online ePermit system.
• Report to the developer the status of the application.
Recommendation 1.3 Continue to improve customer service toward potential project applicants by:
• Maintaining a positive attitude
• Offering a quick response time via email or phone calls
• Making available project requirements and forms
• Providing a list of potential mentors experienced in affordable housing
development
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Utilizing new technology to enhance administrative efficiencies and to educate
developers about the City’s affordable housing incentives and permitting process
by means of link sharing, web forms, videos/webinars, virtual meetings/forums,
and other tools
Recommendation 1.4 Review and annually update a brochure and other informational handouts to be
published in a prominent location on the City’s Affordable Housing webpage that
explain the City's development approval and permitting process to developers,
including but not limited to:
• Relationship between City and County policies and the regulation of land use,
density, and intensity
• City-sponsored incentives for affordable housing such as the "Request for
Expedited Permit Processing for Affordable Housing Activity" form, Affordable
Housing Density Bonus, Parking Reductions, and Nonconforming Exemption for
Affordable Housing
Recommendation 1.5 Encourage affordable housing developers of single-family homes to submit
frequently used template plans for pre-screening by the Building Official to further
expedite the staff permit review process.
E.2 Modification of Fees
Recommendation 2.1 Coordinate with Pinellas County regarding data-based rate flexibility within the
multi-modal impact fee to support the provision of affordable housing.
Recommendation 2.2 Continue to assess the financial, legal, and administrative feasibility of reducing,
refunding, or redefining (by unit size) the costs of impact fees and/or permitting
fees related to the development of affordable housing with the goal of being on
par with other municipalities in Pinellas County.
Recommendation 2.3 The Planning & Development Department will continue to implement the fee
Schedule of Fees Rates and Charges ordinance to provide for a reduction in the
Plan Review and Permit Fees for single-family homes.
Recommendation 2.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department will continue to assist with the
payment of Plan Review and Permit Fees and impact fees utilizing state and
federal funds designated for affordable housing.
E.3 Flexible Densities
Recommendation 3.1 Continue to provide allowance of density flexibility for affordable housing
developments.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
Recommendation 3.2 Maintain specific parameters to grant density flexibility for affordable housing
projects as allowed in the Community Development Code within the different
zoning districts.
Recommendation 3.3 Continue to define the density allowance for an affordable housing project as
part of a pre-application meeting prior to formal submission of the civil/site
engineering requirements.
E.4 Infrastructure Capacity
We do not recommend that the City of Clearwater include the reservation of infrastructure
capacity for housing for very-low-income persons, low-income persons, and moderate-income
persons as an incentive for the provision of affordable housing.
E.5 Accessory Dwelling Units
Recommendation 5.1 Continue to allow for accessory dwelling units in nonresidential zoning districts as
described within the City’s Community Development Code.
Recommendation 5.2 Revisit with City Council Comprehensive Plan Policy C.1.1.2 and Policy C.1.1.8 to
consider allowing one accessory dwelling unit on a residential lot of any size
provided that certain criteria are met. Such criteria may include:
• Maximum unit size, parking standards, setback, and height requirements
to facilitate review and to ensure neighborhood compatibility, which may
be presented using a pattern book or similar means to expedite approval.
• Occupancy/tenure requirements so that the principal dwelling unit
remains owner-occupied, the accessory dwelling unit is not used for short-
term rental, and the number of occupants is limited to that which is
reasonable for the unit size.
Recommendation 5.3 Provide flexibility for other alternative unit types such as co-housing to incentivize
unconventional solutions to address affordable housing needs and support aging-
in-place within existing neighborhoods.
E.6 Parking Reductions
Recommendation 6.1 Continue to allow flexible setback requirements for affordable housing
developments.
Recommendation 6.2 Continue to tie reductions of off-street parking requirements to proximity and
access to alternative modes of transportation, including transit, sidewalks, trails,
or other options.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
E.7 Flexible Lot Configurations
Recommendation 7.1 Continue to allow flexible lot configurations for affordable housing developments
while remaining sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods.
E.8 Modification of Street Requirements
Because such standards are in place to benefit public health and safety, we do not recommend
that the City utilize the modification of street requirements as an incentive for affordable housing.
E.9 Pre-Adoption Policy Consideration
Recommendation 9.1 As part of its annual reporting, the Economic Development & Housing Department
will continue to review all regulations and ordinances that may affect the cost of
housing.
Recommendation 9.2 Continue the review process maintained by the Senior Executive Team through
which any new regulatory instrument created in the City (Ordinances, regulations,
etc.) can be evaluated for its effect on housing affordability.
E.10 Inventory of Public Lands
Recommendation 10.1 The Economic Development & Housing Department will continue to maintain the
inventory of publicly-owned land suitable for the development of affordable
housing.
Recommendation 10.2 Continue to publish the public land inventory owned by the City for affordable
housing, and a link to Pinellas County’s inventory, on the City’s webpage for
prospective developers and non-profit agencies for developing affordable
housing.
Recommendation 10.3 Continue to make publicly-owned land available to prospective developers and
non-profit agencies for developing affordable housing.
Recommendation 10.4 The Economic Development & Housing Department will coordinate with the
Planning & Development Department to identify properties having repeat code
violations that may be suitable for rehabilitation, acquisition, or demolition for
affordable housing.
Recommendation 10.5 Continue to monitor the policy/procedure for distribution of city owned lots.
Consider including energy efficient items and related emerging technologies into
the scoring matrix to support environmentally friendly development in
partnership with the Greenprint 2.0 timeline.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
E.11 Proximity to Transportation, Employment & Mixed-Use
Development
Recommendation 11.1 The City will maintain and implement Future Land Use Element policies A.2.2.7;
A.5.4.4; A.5.4.7; A.6.8.7; A.6.10.8; and C.1.4.2 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
E.12 Adaptive Reuse
Recommendation 12.1 Continue to allow “adaptive reuse” involving the conversion of surplus and/or
outmoded buildings including old churches, school buildings, hospitals, train
stations, warehouses, factories, etc. to mixed uses where permitted by zoning
district.
E.13 Land Development Code
Recommendation 13.1 Continue to incentivize developers to address recommended design standards for
affordable housing developments consistent with Sec. 3-920.A.3.c.i-iii. of the City
of Clearwater Community Development Code. Other criteria could include but are
not limited to:
• Provide direct and visual access to open space for residents.
• Consider play areas when developing family housing.
• Provide nighttime outdoor illumination for safety.
• Use landscape standards and buffers to screen nuisances and to separate
public and private areas.
• Centrally-locate common facilities.
• Use Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) when
practical and financially feasible.
E.14 Communication and Marketing of Affordable Housing
Recommendation 14.1 Continue to improve current communication channels and marketing materials to
reach different stakeholders interested in affordable housing. Some of the
suggested actions include but are not limited to:
• Conduct an educational campaign, in conjunction with regular City
communications, to rebrand affordable housing as workforce housing
that supports the diverse needs of residents through a variety of
unit/product types compatible with the City’s neighborhoods.
• Partner with Amplify Clearwater and others to broadly promote the
benefits of, and opportunities for, affordable housing development in the
City and to communicate successes.
• Prepare, update, and keep current marketing materials for the general
public in order to promote the different housing programs that the City
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
offers, including homebuyer education and down payment assistance to
support homeownership.
• Prepare, update, and keep current marketing materials that help
developers and the general public to understand the application criteria,
permitting process, and the number of incentives available for
rehabilitation and new construction of affordable housing units in the
City.
• Make accessible to the public an inventory and a map of suitable
residential vacant land available for development.
• Include a section on the City’s webpage called, “Affordable Housing &
Community Development,” specifically dedicated to the promotion of
affordable housing.
• Share outcomes and analytics with appropriate City boards and
committees.

maintenance of affordable housing.
Recommendation 15.2 Evaluate the feasibility of reducing/paying code violation liens on lots suitable for
affordable housing development.
E.16 Partnerships
Recommendation 16.1 Develop public and private partnerships for the provision of affordable housing:
• Prepare, advertise, and maintain an inventory of affordable housing
providers/developers and any other related organization.
• Encourage partnerships between current and new affordable housing
developers for mentoring and technical training.
• Encourage and support joint development opportunities between the
private sector and non–profits to develop affordable housing.
• Engage lenders in an ongoing discussion with the City relative to
underwriting and credit standards, technology solutions, as well as the
development of financial products in an effort to maximize the financing
options available to potential first-time homebuyers through
conventional and other lenders.
• Coordinate with Pinellas County joint programs for the provision of
affordable housing, including the Pinellas County Countywide Housing
Strategy and Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact.
Appendix
Economic Development & Housing Department
• Monitor, and encourage citizens to lobby for, the development of
statewide legislative initiatives to gauge the local impact of their
provisions.
• Coordinate with the private sector and non-profits to provide homebuyer
education, home warranties and other strategies that reduce the ongoing
maintenance risk of homeownership.
• Increase down payment assistance loan amounts to be viable for the
homebuyer while remaining financially feasible for the continued
operation of the City’s program.
• Improve the timing of Housing Quality Standards inspections to facilitate
closings on homes with down payment assistance loans, if feasible under
funding source requirements.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to negotiate a contract for the sale of real property to Habitat for Humanity of
Pinellas County, Inc. and Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc., as the
recommended recipient for Request for Proposals and Qualifications (RFP/Q) 3-22, for real
property located at 1454 South Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater posted RFP/Q 43-22 as an opportunity for a developer to acquire and
develop city-owned property located at 1454 South Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue for use as
affordable housing (Pinellas County Property I.D. #22-29-15-00000-320-1300). The property
was acquired for $84,000 in 1995 with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
funding made available to the City from the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The City’s initial goal was to procure a developer to develop a seven-unit
single-family subdivision for low- to moderate-income households. At this time, staff believes
that an attached multi-family project, such as a townhome or villa concept, providing for more
residential units, will be a better fit with the character of the neighborhood while still creating
homeownership opportunities.
Because the property was purchased with CDBG funds, residential development is required to
reserve a minimum of 50% of the units for households with total household income not to
exceed 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) as determined by HUD. The RFP/Q called for a
mixed-income project whereby the remaining units are reserved for households earning up to
120% AMI. Staff is also recommending a project with the highest density practicable while
staying consistent with the existing scale and development pattern in the neighborhood.
Maximum density, including additional units from the affordable housing density bonus, is 24
units.
The City received three proposals. One proposal was submitted by a team consisting of
Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County Inc., d/b/a/ Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West
Pasco Counties, and Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc., d/b/a Tampa Bay
Neighborhood Housing Services (collectively “Habitat/TBNHS”). Another was submitted by
Tampa Bay Community Development Corporation, Inc., d/b/a Suncoast Housing Connections
(Suncoast). A third proposal was submitted by Spiegel Enterprises, LLC (Spiegel). The
proposals were reviewed by a five-person review committee comprised of staff from the
Economic Development and Housing Department, the Planning and Development Department,
and an owner of a business located in the Lake Belleview area.
Each proposal consisted of 24 units in similar townhome designs, 12 reserved for households
earning up to 80% AMI and 12 reserved for households exceeding 80% AMI but not exceeding
120% AMI. The three proposals differed in development costs, unit costs, project schedule and
financing structure. The committee determined that Habitat/TBNHS and Suncoast were the
two strongest proposals, and both were invited to deliver a presentation to the review
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 11/29/2022
File Number: ID#22-1246
committee. Following the presentations, the committee determined that Habitat/TBNHS
provided the strongest proposal by separating itself with two key elements: 1) 0% interest
mortgages for half of the homebuyers provide surety as interest rates are volatile in the
financial market’s foreseeable future; and 2) Habitat/TBNHS provided a stronger approach to
creating, educating, and maintaining a homeowner’s association. These two elements mitigate
high risk factors associated with this type of development.
Habitat/TBNHS’ proposal calls for all units to be 1,460 square feet and have 3 bedrooms, 2.5
bathrooms, and 1-car garages. Each unit will provide for laundry hook-ups and will have a
covered porch. Anticipated total development cost (TDC) is $9,040,170. The proposed TDC
contemplates the property to be donated from the city to Habitat/TBNHS and includes a 5%
construction contingency, a 10% soft cost contingency and a 12% developer fee. They
anticipate the average sales price to be $325,000/unit. This leaves an anticipated funding gap
of $1,240,170 equal to $51,674/unit. Habitat/TBNHS intends to seek Penny for Pinellas funding
from Pinellas County as well as funding from the city to cover the financial gap. If a contribution
from the city, in addition to the land donation, is necessary and appropriate, staff will
recommend contributing a combination of State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program funds
and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. If ARPA funds are used, funding will come from
the $3,300,000 allocation previously approved by City Council for affordable and workforce
housing. A forthcoming purchase and sale contract will identify a maximum funding
commitment from the city and other development options such as environmentally friendly and
energy efficient features.
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 Housing. Workforce Housing means housing affordable to persons
or families whose total annual income does not exceed 120 percent of AMI. According to a
survey performed when the city acquired the property, the property is 1.3448 acres, more or
less. An appraisal was performed on the property by James Millspaugh and Associates, Inc.
The appraised value was $525,000 with a valuation date of July 27, 2022.

INSTRUCTIONS – EVALUATION
Development of 1454 S MLK Jr, Ave 6 RFP/Q #43-22
i.22 EVALUATION PROCESS. Proposals will be reviewed by a screening committee comprised of City employees. The City staff may or may not initiate discussions with proposers for clarification purposes. Clarification is not an opportunity to change the proposal. Proposers shall not initiate discussions with any City employee or official.
i.23 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION AND AWARD. The City evaluates three (3) categories of information: responsiveness, responsibility, the technical proposal/price. All proposals must meet
the following responsiveness and responsibility criteria.
a) Responsiveness. The City will determine whether the proposal complies with the instructions for submitting proposals including completeness of proposal which encompasses the inclusion of all required attachments and submissions. The City must reject any proposals that are submitted late. Failure to meet other requirements may result in rejection.
b) Responsibility. The City will determine whether the proposer is one with whom it can or should do business. Factors that the City may evaluate to determine "responsibility" include, but are not limited to: excessively high or low priced proposals, past performance, references (including those found outside the proposal), compliance with applicable laws,
proposer's record of performance and integrity- e.g. has the proposer been delinquent or unfaithful to any contract with the City, whether the proposer is qualified legally to contract
with the City, financial stability and the perceived ability to perform completely as specified. A proposer must at all times have financial resources sufficient, in the opinion of the City, to ensure performance of the contract and must provide proof upon request. City staff may also use Dun & Bradstreet and/or any generally available industry information. The City
reserves the right to inspect and review proposer’s facilities, equipment and personnel and those of any identified subcontractors. The City will determine whether any failure to supply
information, or the quality of the information, will result in rejection.
c) Technical Proposal. The City will determine how well proposals meet its requirements in
terms of the response to the specifications and how well the offer addresses the needs of the project. The City will rank offers using a point ranking system (unless otherwise
specified) as an aid in conducting the evaluation.
d) If less than three (3) responsive proposals are received, at the City’s sole discretion, the
proposals may be evaluated using simple comparative analysis instead of any announced method of evaluation, subject to meeting administrative and responsibility requirements.

the appropriately authorized City official(s). No binding contract will exist between the proposer and the City until the City executes a written contract or purchase order.

1. INTRODUCTION. The City of Clearwater (City) is a coastal community on the West Coast of Florida and the third largest city in the Tampa Bay region with an estimated 117,800 residents. Clearwater Beach is an international tourist destination that brings millions of tourists to Pinellas County annually and was selected as the “Number One Beach in America” in the 2018 and 2019 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards and regularly ranks as a top vacation destination in both domestic and international publications. An ideal year-round destination for travelers of all ages
and interests, Clearwater boasts miles of pristine “sugar sand” beaches, provides a wide variety of casual and fine dining options, and is home to Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training and Clearwater Threshers Minor League Baseball. Clearwater Marine Aquarium remains a consistent draw for visitors and is nationally recognized for its groundbreaking work in marine rescue, rehabilitation, and release.
The City of Clearwater is committed to ensuring that we have a sustainable city through green measures focusing on our economy, environment, and community. 2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Request for Proposals and Qualifications (RFP/Q) is to select a
qualified Development Team (Developer) to develop a 1.34+/- acre site located at 1454 South Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Clearwater’s Lake Belleview neighborhood. The City of
Clearwater, Florida invites qualified applicants to submit proposals and qualifications for a mixed-income, owner occupied, multi-family development with 50% of the units reserved for households with total household income up to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). The remaining 50% of the units may be market rate units or may be reserved for households earning between 80% AMI and
120% AMI. AMI levels are determined, and adjusted from time to time, by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Multi-family, owner-occupied
development proposals may include but may not be limited to duplex villas, townhomes or condominiums.
The City of Clearwater recognizes the need for workforce and affordable housing to meet the unmet housing demand for high tech office employees in the Downtown, employees in the medical field at Morton Plant Hospital and the hospitality industry on Clearwater Beach. The city
envisions this parcel as an opportunity to facilitate this strategy and would like to see construction begin within the next 12 months. 3. SITE BACKGROUND, LOCATION, and OWNERSHIP. Clearwater is situated on the west coast of Central Florida in the Tampa Bay area and is the county seat for Pinellas County government. The Site is conveniently located near the City’s Downtown, the Morton Plant Hospital campus and
minutes away from the world-renowned Clearwater Beach. The city acquired this development site for redevelopment in 1995. The Site has been vacant since that time. The city completed an environmental analysis of the Site at acquisition in 1995. The report is no longer available. Proposals may be subject to satisfactory results of environmental inspections being performed by the successful respondent. If such inspections are to be performed prior to transfer of the Site, the city will grant access to the Site as needed. There are several community assets in the City’s Lake Belleview neighborhood:
• Ross Norton Recreation Center
• Ed Wright Park
• Lake Belleview
• Belmont Park, substantially updated in 2022
• The Community Dental Clinic located at 1008 Woodlawn Street
• Woodlawn Trail, completed in 2019, an 80-unit income restricted development at
803 Woodlawn Loop Through this RFP/Q, the City is seeking to redevelop the entire 1.34+/- acres. The City anticipates closing by December 31, 2022.

Exhibits included in this RFP/Q are:
• Exhibit A – Site Photos
• Exhibit B – Appraisal (Note: Appraisal will be posted upon completion, estimated late August 2022)
4. PROJECT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES. The subject property is located in the City’s Lake Belleview Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA). This NRSA was approved by HUD as an area to be targeted for revitalization. With this designation, the City’s afforded enhanced flexibility in undertaking economic development, housing and public service activities with its use of federal funds.
The site is in an area zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) with a Future Land Use designation of Residential Medium which allows residential density up to 15 dwelling units per acre. The Community Development Code provides for an affordable housing density increase of 20% bringing the total allowable density to 24 units. Attached dwelling units at a maximum height of 30 – 40 feet could be permitted through an administrative approval process provided the project meets the applicable criteria. A project with the highest density practicable while staying consistent with the existing scale and development pattern in the neighborhood is desired. A minimum of 50% of the units must be reserved for households with total household income not exceeding 80% AMI. Development proposals should reflect the character of this neighborhood as a walkable, residential environment. The site has frontage on South Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and the proposal should identify the primary entrance, but still pay careful attention to the relationship between the building and the street. No specific architectural style is required, however high-quality, sustainable building materials and access to outdoor amenity space (balconies, rooftop terrace etc.) is desired. 5. SITE PURCHASE PRICE. Proposals shall establish a recommended purchase price although the final purchase price is to be negotiated, based upon the overall development proposal. City Council may approve the donation or sale for less than fair market value of city-owned property of not more than five (5) acres in size for Workforce Housing. Workforce Housing means housing affordable to persons or families whose total annual income does not exceed 120% of AMI. 6. DEVELOPMENT NEGOTIATIONS and INCENTIVES. The selected Developer shall enter into a binding Development Agreement with the City, which shall outline the contract start date, bonding and/or insurance requirements, purchase and disposition of the subject Site, the underlying project development design parameters agreed to by the City, any incentives agreed upon, and the terms and conditions. The City has access to HOME Investment Partnership Program funds from HUD and State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation that may be contributed to the project. These funds are to be used to fill a financial gap necessary to carry out the development objectives of the proposed project. Pinellas County also has programs in place to financially assist with development of workforce and affordable housing. Traffic concerns will be dependent on what a developer wants to place on the site. Traffic impacts shall be determined by the selected Developer and will be evaluated by the City. Clearwater Gas System Incentive Natural gas is available at this site and certain incentives may apply, administered by the Clearwater Gas System.

If a claims made form of coverage is provided, the retroactive date of coverage shall be no later than the inception date of claims made coverage, unless the prior policy was extended indefinitely to cover prior acts. Coverage shall be extended beyond the policy year either by a supplemental extended reporting period (SERP) of as great a duration as available, and with no less coverage and with reinstated aggregate limits, or by requiring that any new policy provide a retroactive date no later than the inception date of claims made coverage.
e. Property Insurance coverage if the Developer is using its own property or the property of the City in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, then Property Insurance on an “All Risks” basis with replacement cost coverage for property and equipment in

This insurance shall insure the interests of the City, the Developer, and all subcontractors, if any, in the work and shall insure against special form causes of loss (all risk perils), including collapse during construction, for replacement cost (including fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals). The Developer shall obtain and maintain similar property insurance on equipment, materials, supplies and other
property and portions of the work stored on or off site or in transit. Builder’s Risk Insurance shall be endorsed to permit occupancy until such time as the facilities are completed and accepted by
the City and written notice of the fact has been issued by the City.
g. Unless waived by the State of Florida and proof of waiver is provided to the City, statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance coverage in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida, and Employer’s Liability Insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (one million dollars) each employee each accident, $1,000,000 (one million dollars) each employee by

coverage where applicable. Coverage must be applicable to employees, contractors, subcontractors, and volunteers, if any. The above insurance limits may be achieved by a combination of primary and umbrella/excess
liability policies.
Other Insurance Provisions. a. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, and then annually upon the anniversary date(s) of the insurance policy’s renewal date(s) for as long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Vendor will furnish the City with a Certificate of Insurance(s) (using appropriate ACORD certificate, SIGNED by the Issuer, and with applicable endorsements) evidencing all of the coverage set forth above and naming the City as an “Additional Insured” on the Commercial General Liability Insurance and the Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance.

RIGHT
IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY:
The subject fronts the west side of Dr. MLK Jr. Avenue roughly 350’ north of Woodlawn
Street near the southern Clearwater boundary. It is legally described in brief by the Pinellas
County Property Appraiser as Metes and Bounds #32/13 located in the NW/4 of the SW/4 of
Section 22, Township 29 South, Range 15 East.
CENSUS TRACT LOCATION/ZIP CODE: #258 /33756
FLOOD ZONE LOCATION: Pinellas County, Florida
Map No. 12103C0108J
Date Revised: August 24, 2021
The subject and adjacent sites are located in a zone X, which is not a special flood hazard
area described as having a .2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard Area of 1% Annual Chance flood
with average depth less than 1’ or with drainage area of less than 1 square mile.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT DATA:
The Appraisal has been performed without benefit of an environmental audit and
presumes that no problems exist; however, I reserve the right to review and/or alter the value
reported herein should a subsequent audit reveal problems.
OBJECTIVE AND INTENDED USE/USERS OF THE APPRAISAL:
The objective of the appraisal report is to estimate the current market value of the fee
simple estate of the subject vacant site as of July 27, 2022 (date of inspection and photographs).
It is my understanding that the intended use of the report is to provide guidance to the City of
Clearwater in their attempt to sell the site in the open market and that the intended users are city
representatives and no others. I previously appraised this property in September 2017.
2
EXPOSURE PERIOD ESTIMATE:
This is the past period of time required to have sold the subject at my value estimate on
the appraisal date. This area has attracted growing interest for its real estate products primarily
from small developers proposing workforce type and moderately priced housing. As such, for
this relatively small municipal-owned parcel, a realistic exposure period would have been from 3
to 6 months.
STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP AND RECENT SALES HISTORY:
The property is currently owned by the city of Clearwater that acquired title in December
1995 at a recorded price of $84,000 (recorded O.R. Book 9191, Page 1286). There have been no
subsequent recorded transfers of the property that would impact the current market value.
SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL:
The extent of my research effort for the sale of similar zoned land has focused on the
proximate Clearwater market while I am familiar with and have considered sales from the North
Pinellas district. Specifically, I have researched the data banks maintained by the Pinellas Clerk’s
and Property Appraiser’s offices, the local MLS and my newspaper clipping files composed of
local general subscription and business magazines. I have thoroughly inspected the district,
viewed the comparable sales data and confirmed the transactions with a related party. The report
will include a Land Sales Comparison Analysis, which is the only reliable methodology for
valuing vacant land.
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in the
definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller
to buyer under conditions whereby:
(1) Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
(2) Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider
their own best interests;
3
(3) A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
(4) Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arrangements comparable thereto; and
(5) The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with
the sale.

STANDARD CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS:
This Appraisal is subject to the following limiting conditions and contingencies:
This Appraisal Report in no way represents a guaranty or warranty of estimated market
value as reported herein. The Appraisal Report represents the opinion of the undersigned as to
"one figure" based upon the data and its analysis contained herein.
The legal description furnished is assumed to be correct and unless otherwise noted, no
survey or title search has been made. No responsibility is assumed by the Appraiser(s) for these
or any matters of a legal nature and no opinion of the title has been rendered. The property is
appraised as though under responsible ownership and management. The Appraiser(s) believe(s)
that information contained herein to be reliable, but assume(s) no responsibility for its reliability.
The Appraiser(s) assume(s) there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the property,
subsoil, or structure which would affect the value estimate. Unless otherwise noted, the
Appraiser(s) has not commissioned termite or structural inspection reports on any improvements
or subsoil tests on the land.
The attached photos, maps, drawings, and other exhibits in this report are intended to
assist the reader in visualizing the property and have been prepared by the Appraiser(s) or his
staff. These exhibits in no way are official representations/surveys of the subject property.
4
Any distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements
applies only under the existing program of utilization. Separate valuations for land and buildings
must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
In this appraisal assignment, the existence of potentially hazardous material used in the
construction or maintenance of the building, such as the presence of urea-formaldehyde foam
insulation, and/or the existence of toxic waste, which may or may not be present on the property,
was not observed by the Appraiser; nor does he/she have any knowledge of the existence of such
materials on or in the property. The Appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such
substances. The existence of urea-formaldehyde insulation or other potentially hazardous waste
material may have an effect on the value of the property. The Appraiser urges the client to retain
an expert in the field if desired.
The Appraiser(s) will not be required to appear in court unless previously arranged. The
Appraiser's duties pursuant to his employment to make the Appraisal are complete upon delivery
and acceptance of the Appraisal Report.
Possession of this report or copy thereof does not carry the right of publication. Neither
all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any; conclusions as to value, the identity
of the Appraiser(s), or the firm with which he is connected, or any reference to the Appraisal
Institute or to the MAI or SRA designation) shall be disseminated to the public through
advertising media, public relations media, news media, sales media, or any other public means of
communication without the prior written consent and approval of the undersigned.
The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") became effective January 26, 1992. The
Appraiser(s) has (have) not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to
determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA.
It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the
requirements of the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of
the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the
property. Since the Appraiser(s) has (had) no direct evidence relating to this issue, the
Appraiser(s) did not consider possible noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in
estimating the value of the property.

AREA DESCRIPTION:
This district extends south from Court Street near downtown Clearwater to around
Rosary Road in Largo and from just west of Missouri Avenue to the Pinellas Trail. It is
characterized by low to moderate priced housing with similar demographics and a high ratio of
tenant occupied housing. The subsidized housing complexes located south of Ross Norton Park
plus the modern scattered single-family residences and recently-built rental apartment complex
on Woodlawn Street west of Dr. MLK, Jr. Avenue here are examples of the most promising use
trends and also underscore the weak demographics.
While the proximate retail/service space is typically located along Missouri Avenue, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue includes several local convenience stores, a seafood/vegetable
outlet, Churches and some minor service/storage use across from Ross Norton Park. Farther
north of Lakeview also includes scattered office space (some medical) and multi-family housing.
There is also multi-family housing (duplexes, triplexes, small apartment buildings) storage and
office uses located to the west of the active rail corridor. This pocket of office/storage uses
developed during the 1980's in support of the Morton Plant Hospital campus is located about 1/3-
mile northwest of the subject. The medical space market here had suffered from the COVID-19
pandemic (2020-2021) during which many medical procedures were postponed and now is
experiencing the resulting pent-up demand. While this notable improvement is positive for this
district little or no new development of space here is expected during the short-term (0-2)
foreseeable future as disruptions and pandemic growth continues to some extent.
In summary then, the outlook for residential acreage/lots is favorable with no expected
negative trend during the next year or so. In fact, affordable workforce housing that attracts
public funding/bonuses is likely to continue to be one of the “hot” markets.

SITE DATA:
The site is rectangular with 225’ frontage to a 260.4’ depth and a total area per the legal
description of 58,590 SF (225’ X 260.4’) or 1.345 acres MOL. It is mostly cleared, grassed and
has several scattered trees plus a low area at the southwest corner that on Page 14 of the 1972
Pinellas County Soil Survey appears to be labeled as a wet spot amongst Astor fine sands that are
customarily poorly drained. It was reported, however, that inspection by the City engineering
department found no wetland conditions.
The land is level, slightly above the roadway crowns and does not appear to have any
extraordinary storm drainage problems as most of the area drains into the nearby Lake Bellevue
located in the southwest quadrant of Dr. MLK Jr. and Lakeview. The site has all public (water,
sanitary sewer and natural gas) and private (telephone, electricity and cable television) utilities
available at no off-site costs. Access is off the two-lane Dr. MLK Jr. Avenue that is traffic
lighted at Lakeview and Belleair Roads about ½-mile north and south with a 2019 MPO traffic
count south of Druid Road at 5848. The main roadways are at 26,500 for Missouri, 35,500 for
Court Street and 14,862 for S. Ft. Harrison south of Druid Road.
Surrounding improvements include subsidized housing to the north, west and south and
several retail stores and vacant land across Dr. MLK Jr. Avenue with auto service and light
industrial uses to the north. There is also a Clearwater police substation located just south near
Woodlawn Street. The area has had and continues to have above-average crime activity that has
prompted the police substation and represents a negative for the area. On the positive side are the
proximate public ball fields and swimming facility at the Ross Norton Park located just north of
the subject.
ASSESSMENT AND TAX DATA:
Pinellas County Parcel # 2021 Assessment
22-29-15-00000-320-1300 $208,250
Based upon the tentative $20.3216 millage rate the gross taxes in private ownership
would be $2,672.32. Further, the 2022 tentative assessment has been increased to $357,000.
9
ZONING AND LAND USE DATA:
The site and adjacent lands are zoned MDR for Medium Density Residential and are
classified as RM for Residential Medium on the comprehensive land-use plan to a maximum 15
per acre density. Allowed uses include community gardens, community residential homes (Max
6 residents) and detached dwellings with these level one uses requiring a 5,000 SF lot having
setbacks of 25’ front, 5’ side and 5’ rear plus a 30’ height. The second level of allowed uses
includes attached dwellings (10,000 SF), community homes with maximum 14 residents (5,000
SF), detached housing (3-5,000 SF), schools (40,000 SF) and utility structures with setbacks of
25’ front, 0-10’ side and 5-25’ rear and 30’-40’ height. Flexible development concepts include
ALF (20,000 SF) attached housing (10,000 SF), congregate care (20,000 SF), non-residential
off-street parking plus overnight accommodations, parks and recreation and residential infill
with setbacks of 10’-35’ front, 0’-20’ side and 0’-25’ rear plus 30’-50’ maximum height. The
general zoning intent is for multi-family housing plus a variety of residential treatment facilities
and public space.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE: (Defined in the Addenda)
After a thorough inspection of the subject, surrounding use trends and the existing
zoning/land use regulations, it is clear that some form of multi-family housing represents this
concept. Most of the adjacent properties are subsidized housing in one to two story buildings
plus another 80 unit complex was recently built on an 8-acre MOL parcel fronting Woodlawn
Street just west of Dr. MLK Jr. Avenue. Single-family has been extensively developed here
during the past decade or so on scattered lots, but the dominant trend for the larger parcels has
been for multi-family by a variety of public agencies that would likely have demand for
expansion. The zoning would allow a maximum of 20 units (1.345 acres @ 15 units per acre)
while single-family use would likely allow 5-6 small lots after developing a central roadway and
storm retention. Further, city density bonuses for affordable housing could increase added
density.
The most likely proposal would include moderately sized/valued townhomes that with an
approximate 15 PA density would include smaller (2-3 bedrooms plus 1 car garage) in the 1,250-
1,500 SF size range. The apparent low spot would not likely result in lost units or extraordinary
development costs.

LAND VALUE ESTIMATE:
This method values the site by comparison to the best available comparable data that had
the same or similar highest and best use. The sales are described here on separate detail sheets
and then analyzed and adjusted below in relation to the subject. Unless otherwise noted, these
sites sold for cash or terms equivalent and did not require adjustment for cash equivalency. The
most common unit of comparison for this type of vacant land is the price per maximum allowed
unit.

Comments: This site had formerly been used for auto salvage functions for decades
and was purchased here for some form of residential use after demolition and site remediation
performed by public sources. While having partial land use for some commercial concept the
City objected to the mixed-use and favored 20+ townhomes while the buyer preferred to develop
12+ single-family residences that is the dominant use trend.

LAND SALES ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS:
These are the best-known proximate examples of reasonably similar size. Sale #1 is
located in the subject market but sold roughly 3 years earlier prior to a major value shift here. As
such, the sale requires upward adjustment for the time influence and downward due to the higher
density that would likely require a mid-rise building that is far more costly than 2-story
townhomes.
Sale #2 has a slightly superior demographic profile than the subject (-) with a large unit
size resulting from a lower density. This $37,500 per unit price then requires some downward
adjustment for the subject.
Sale #3 is larger (+) with a superior location (-) that would be developed at a similar site
density. As such, the $39,216 per unit price would likely support the subject at a lower metric.
Sale #4 has a slightly lower density (-) plus a notably superior location (-).
After considering this data, it appears the subject value would fall in the $25,000-$27,500
per unit value range.
20 Units @ $25,000 Per Unit = $500,000
20 Units @ $27,500 Per Unit = $550,000
ROUNDED TO $525,000
17
That value, in turn, would support an $8.96 PSF metric that appears realistic by
comparison to the other Land Sales.

STANDARD DEFINITIONS
HIGHEST AND BEST USE:
1. The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four
criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.
2. The use of an asset that maximizes its potential and that is possible, legally permissible,
and financially feasible. The highest and best use may be for continuation of an assets
existing use or for some alternative use. This is determined by the use that a market
participant would have in mind for the asset when formulating the price that it would be
willing to bid. (IVS)
3. [The] highest and most profitable use for which the property is adaptable and needed or
likely to be needed in the reasonably near future. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for
Federal Land Acquisitions)
4. [For fair value determination] The use of a nonfinancial asset by market participants that
would maximize the value of the asset or the group of assets and liabilities (for example,
a business) within which the asset would be used. (FASB Glossary) The highest and best
use of a nonfinancial asset takes into account the use that is physically possible, legally
permissible, and financially feasible. (FASB 820-10-35-10B). The highest and best use
of a nonfinancial asset establishes the valuation premise used to measure the fair value of
the asset, as follows: (a) The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset might provide
maximum value to market participants through its use in combination with other assets as
a group (as installed or otherwise configured for use) or in a combination with other
assets and liabilities (for example, a business). (b) The highest and best use of the asset
might provide maximum value to market participants on a standalone basis. (FASB 820-
10-35-10E)
FEE SIMPLE ESTATE: Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate,
subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain,
police power, and escheat.
LEASEHOLD ESTATE: The right held by the lessee to use and occupy real estate for a stated
term and under conditions specified in the lease.
LEASED FEE INTEREST: The ownership interest held by the lessor, which includes the right
to receive the contract rent specified in the lease plus the reversionary right when the lease
expires.
REPLACEMENT COST: The estimated cost to construct, at current prices as of a specific date,
a substitute for a building or other improvements, using modern materials and current standards,
design and layout.
REPRODUCTION COST: The estimated cost to construct, at current prices as of the effective
date of the appraisal, a duplicate or replica of the building being appraised, using the same or
similar materials, construction standards, design, layout and quality of workmanship and
embodying all the deficiencies, super-adequacies, and obsolescence of the subject building.

Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties (Habitat) and Tampa Bay Neighborhood
Home Services (TBNHS), formerly known as Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, propose
to jointly develop the parcel located at 1454 S Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue into twenty-four (24)
townhome units exclusive for homeownership. The development will be named Lake Belleview
Townhomes. 50% of the units (12 units) will be reserved for income-qualified homeowners making
less than 80% of the area median income, with the other 50% of units (12 units) reserved for
income-qualified homeowners for incomes up to 120% of the area median income. This
development creates an opportunity for Habitat and TBNHS to collaborate on a shared interest in
providing affordable housing options for residents with a mix of income ranges.
Lake Belleview Townhomes would provide a choice in housing options for first-time homebuyers
who may not be able to afford single-family homes but want to live in a safe, stable community that
offers an opportunity for homeownership. The conceptual unit designs within the site plan will be
two-story townhomes with a bottom floor garage and a secondary parking pad to minimize on-
street parking. Townhomes will consist of 1,800 square feet under roof and 1,460 square feet of
conditioned space. Each unit will be three bedrooms with 2 and a half bathrooms, and a
laundry/storage room, subject to final design approval. Building elevations will include sufficient
architectural elements to create visual interest and break up building massing. Proposed
treatments include elements such as covered porches, various façade materials, compatible color
variations, decorative columns/trim, and a rear patio. The development will also incorporate Florida-
friendly landscaping that requires less irrigation. Lastly, a homeowner’s association will maintain the
common exterior areas and ensure the development is well maintained.
This development will assist in meeting the Lake Bellevue Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
Area (NRSA) Consolidated Plan 2020/2021 -2024/2025 housing related goals by providing
twenty-four affordable, owner-occupied units of housing. The Lake Bellevue NRSA is
predominately residential and while most of the residential development is single-family, there are
many multifamily structures. Yet, the majority of such units are renter-occupied. A priority need
identified within this targeted area is specifically additional affordable housing units, with the private
sector's lack of investment as a barrier to growth. This development will address both of those
concerns, while achieving the City’s established performance measurements to “construct 15
housing units for rental and support homebuyer activities”.
TAB 1
Narrative and Vision
Statement
The proposed development is consistent with the City’s overarching Comprehensive Plan - Housing
Element goal, which calls for a “affordable variety of standard housing units in decent and safe
neighborhoods to meet the needs of the current and future residents, regardless of race,
nationality, age marital status, handicap or religion.” It also meets various objectives within the
Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan, which include; C.1.1 – Adequate housing, C.1.2-
Affordable Housing, C.1.4 – Adequate Sites for Very Low, Low and Moderate Income Households,
C.1.9 – The City if Clearwater shall be proactive in incentivizing the construction of affordable
housing and C.1.10 - Recognizing that sustainable building techniques contribute to keeping
housing units affordable over the long term by reducing energy consumption, lowering utility bills
and decreasing maintenance costs, the City of Clearwater will promote the use of green housing
construction and renovation and rehabilitation techniques.
In summary, the proposed development creates a shared interest partnership with Habitat and
TBNHS, aligning both organization's strengths to meet all objectives of the RFP and best serve the
community. Additionally, the proposal is responsive to the unmet needs of the Lake Bellevue NRSA,
aligns with the Consolidated Plan goals, is consistent with local zoning and land use and meets the
goals and objectives of the Housing Element of the City’s Comprehensive plan.

TBNHS
Over the past four decades, Tampa Bay Neighborhood Housing Services has administered income-
restricted programs and services to the Clearwater and Pinellas County communities. TBNHS
directly manages various housing programs funded by the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County and
other local municipalities. Programs include; processing applications for down-payment assistance,
owner-occupied rehabilitation programs, new construction for sale to low-to-moderate income
homebuyers, and acquisition/rehab/resale to low-to-moderate income homebuyers. All of the
programs mentioned above and services require beneficiaries to be income qualified, thus, TBNHS’
staff is trained and experienced in administering all of these programs as well as monitoring
compliance with income qualifications.
TBNHS has substantial experience developing over 250 new in-fill single-family homes as well as
rehabilitating over 900 single-family homes, specifically within the City of Clearwater and Pinellas
County. As for multifamily developments, TBNHS CEO Frank Cornier’s experience in multifamily
development includes significant managerial roles in the construction and management of such
developments and are listed below.

b. Demonstrated experience with implementing sustainable building design standards, including
sustainably sourced materials, energy efficiency measures, and/or renewable energy systems
Habitat is proud to report we earned a 2022 ENERGY STAR® Market Leader Award
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in recognition of our contribution to
building energy-efficient new homes that have earned ENERGY STAR certification. Energy
Star-certified homes are at least 10% more energy efficient than those built to code and
achieve a 20% improvement on average while providing homeowners with better quality,
performance, and comfort. The Market Leader Award recognizes partners participating in
EPA’s ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction program who have significantly impacted
energy-efficient construction and environmental protection.
Every unit constructed will be EnergyStar certified. This includes; insulated fiberglass exterior
doors, Low-E double panel windows throughout, HVAC system with programmable thermostat
and fresh air intake damper, Mastic sealed ductwork, R-30 fiberglass insulation over living
spaces, R-11 frame wall insulation, R-4.1 insulation on concrete exterior walls, and Microwave
vented to the outside. Homes also come equipped with hurricane impact resistant windows and
hurricane-rated garage doors as well as roof trusses hurricane strapped. All homes finished
floor elevations are built above the local based flood elevation to mitigated flood issues, Lastly,
finishes include; hardwood cabinets, carpet/tile/vinyl flooring, whirlpool appliances and be rewiring
for both cable and phone.

Developer Experienceand Qualifications
c. Demonstrated experience with income qualification, monitoring, assistance and other
activities associated with adhering to regulations of affordable housing
Our organizations have over eighty (80) years of combined experience in monitoring compliance,
determining income qualification and other activities associated with adhering to affordable
housing regulations. In addition, both organizations utilize a multitude of local, state and federal
funding that mandate monitoring compliance and set forth various regulatory measures that must
be adhered to. Collectively, both organizations have vast experience with Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program, Self-Help Homeownership
Opportunity Program (SHOP), Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), State Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program (SHIP) and local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funding sources. The above-
referenced sources of funding have income qualification requirements and often ongoing
compliance. These sources fund programs such as: down-payment assistance, owner-occupied
rehabilitation programs, new construction for sale to low-to-moderate income homebuyers,
construction financing loans and property acquisition/rehab/resale to low-to-moderate income
homebuyers, all of which our organizations collectively utilize to serve the community.
Habitat is subject to an annual financial audit for major federal programs and major state financial
assistance projects and has never been found in noncompliance by independent third party
auditors.
TBNHS is also subject to annual financial audits with its most recent audit completed in August and
no findings reported.

Developer Experienceand Qualifications
1. Financial institution reference contact(s)’ names and contact information.
Co-developers will provide upon successful negotiation of financial term sheet
2. Preliminary financial plan to include:
a. Construction budget detailing total project cost and proposed source(s) of funding
Per the attached proforma, we seek a land grant with a total development cost of $9,040,170 or
$376,673.72 a unit and an average blended sales price of $325,000 a unit. Given these unit
economics, there is a $1,240,170 total development funding gap, which equals to $51,674.73 per
unit, thus, this project necessitates subsidies to make the development financially feasible. Habitat
believes we bring a competitive advantage within the marketplace with our ability to sell homes with
0% interest mortgages. Eliminating the interest component of the mortgage means homeowners
can increase their purchasing power affording a higher purchase price while still remaining in their
monthly payment affordability. In comparison, TBNHS has deep roots within the City of Clearwater
and is an expert at leveraging down payment assistance programs to help individuals achieve
homeownership. As co-developers, we would seek to work with the City of Clearwater to braid
various funding sources available within the City, as well as utilize Penny for Pinellas (Penny IV)
funding to eliminate this funding gap and ensure the project's financial feasibility.
We are confident if selected by the City to develop this parcel, we will put forth a competitive
application to Pinellas County for funding consideration. The Board of County Commissioners
adopted resolution 19-6 in February of 2019 that provides preference to developments in which
units will benefit households making 80% of the AMI or less. Additionally, this development meets
several top-tier Penny for Pinellas scoring criteria, including; per unit subsidy, local government
assistance (local contribution and regulatory relief), county funds to affordable units ratio,
development location (in the NRSA), and low-income homeownership. To date, we are unaware of
an affordable homeownership development funded by Penny IV, which again would put this project
in a unique competitive landscape for funding.
That being said, if Penny IV funding cannot be secured, we will need to seek additional subsidy
from the City and/or other funding sources. However, we believe a $51,000 per unit subsidy to
serve the below 80% AMI and workforce population through homeownership is extremely
reasonable given the current market conditions and may be suitable for the City to fully fund to
serve as a catalytic development for the community.

b. Demonstration of developer’s financial capacity to develop the Site
As for development financing, Habitat and TBNHS management teams have proven business and
affordable housing development experience. Both organizations maintain relationships with local
construction financing lenders and do not anticipate any issues with underwriting should the
proposal move forward. As an organization, Habitat has working capital to help support the project
underwriting finance requirements and a strong balance sheet to attract favorable terms. Before
seeking traditional construction financing, we would seek to reduce financing costs by leveraging
the various forms of public multifamily low-interest construction financing available for affordable
housing developments within the community. If selected to develop this parcel, the co-developers
will begin working immediately to secure favorable financing term sheets and would support
conditioning such financing within the development terms sheet negotiated with the City.
c. Projected sale price of units and anticipated sale schedule
Both our organizations have provided affordable homeownership opportunities in the community
for decades. There is significant awareness of our services within the public through extensive
community involvement. Historically, both organizations have successfully recruited homebuyers
from the local areas we built in. This is typically accomplished through a coordinated marketing and
outreach effort within the focus community. While unique to each community, marketing efforts
may include ad placements in hyper-local publications, location-targeted social media advertising,
direct mail campaigns, and unearned media attention highlighting new initiatives. In synchronization,
our community outreach efforts may include recruitment events at local community centers,
engaging local businesses who serve the area or employ residents, word-of-mouth referrals, door
knocking, attending community events, and leveraging stakeholders to spread the messaging.
Although not a requirement, our preference, as stated above, is to recruit local homeowners from
the areas we serve. We intend to partner with community partners, such as first-time homebuyers’
programs, local community led organizations and potentially the City to hold homeownership
information events for residents.
Specifically, Habitat’s program also operates differently than the traditional developers who spec
build homes. Habitat actively recruits homeowners throughout the year and maintains a pipeline of
100+ qualified candidates at any given time. These qualified homeowners are then matched to
vacant properties based on location and need, with the homes being built to family size. Given this
model, we would expect the lots provided to be matched with a qualified candidate before a
building permit is pulled.
As stated above the anticipated average blended sales price for the development is $325,000 a
unit. Per the project schedule (see project schedule) program/sales marketing will begin within a
month of successful property acquisition. The sales and marketing period will last approximately
twenty-six (26) months. We do not anticipate any issues with demand as the local region's lack of
affordable and workforce housing options is extremely restricted.

3. A description or table of the various residential units, including size, number of
bedrooms/bathrooms, and any proposed amenities
The conceptual unit designs within the site plan will be two-story townhomes with a bottom floor
garage and a secondary parking pad to minimize on-street parking. Townhomes will consist of
1,800 square feet under roof and 1,460 square feet of conditioned space. Each unit will be three
bedrooms with 2 and a half bathrooms, and a laundry/storage room, subject to final design
approval. Building elevations will include sufficient architectural elements to create visual interest
and break up building massing. Proposed treatments include elements such as covered porches,
various façade materials, compatible color variations, decorative columns/trim, and a rear patio.
The development will also incorporate Florida-friendly landscaping that requires less irrigation.
Lastly, a homeowner’s association will maintain the common exterior areas and ensure the
development is well maintained.
Floor plans and front elevations are attached.

Present in both narrative and visual form the extent of the development proposal for the Site.
Drawings may be “conceptual” in format but should be detailed enough to reflect the scope of the
proposed development. Narrative elements to be addressed include:
a. Height
b. Scale
c. Density and Intensity
d. Proposed architectural style and material types
e. Site and building orientation
f. Access points and curb cuts
g. Proposed parking
h. Highlight of creative and innovative design solutions
i. Income mix of units (a minimum of 50% of total units must be reserved for households with total household income not exceeding
80% AMI)
The conceptual site plan design (subject to development plan review and approval) consists of a
total of twenty-four (24), two-story townhome units. The development will be in harmony,
consistent with the scale, bulk, coverage, and character of adjacent properties, and permissible
within the current zoning. The site is zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) with a Future Land
Use designation of Residential Medium which allows residential density up to fifteen (15) dwelling
units per acre, however the Community Development Code provides for an affordable housing
density increase of 20% bringing the total allowable density of the site to twenty-four (24) units.
Buildings are 30ft (two story) in height and consist of five separate buildings, which are comprised
of two (2) six (6) unit buildings, two (2) five (5) unit buildings and one (1) two (2) unit building.
Building footprints range from 4,800 sqft (6 units design) to 1600 sqft (2 unit design) with setbacks
meeting the minimum code requirements of 25ft front and 10ft side/rear requirements. The site
plan design reflects the character of the surrounding residential neighborhood in density and site
intensity, while maintaining a walkable, residential environment. The proximity of buildings has been
taken into account when planning their layout in order to maximize greenspace and enhance
privacy. The site plan utilizes South Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, as the primary entrance with
curb cuts and signage identifying the development, while paying careful attention to the relationship
between the building(s) and the street.
Each unit will have a front-loaded one (1) car garage and an adjoining parking pad, equaling two (2)
parking space per unit and forty-eight (48) total parking spaces for the development. Building
elevations will include sufficient architectural elements to create visual interest and break up
building massing. Each building will have decorative columns and metal roof awnings to create a
visually appealing architectural design and add dimension to the front elevation. The outside façade
will incorporate contemporary design elements with modern and traditional accents. The current
proposed exterior elevations incorporate diverse cladding elements, which includes brick veneer
and a stucco finish. Diverse color palates for buildings will be included to avoid creating a
monochrome and bland façade. All elevation designs will adhere to local zoning requirements. Each
building will be landscaped with Florida-friendly landscaping incorporated throughout the
development. Ultimately, building materials will be selected based on their durability, maintenance
required and value engineering to mitigate costs.

Development Concept:
Ability to Meet Redevelopment Objectives
To satisfy the requirements of the Request for Proposal and to meet the City’s goal of developing a
mixed-income housing development, 12 units (50%) will be reserved for income-qualified
homeowners making less than 80% of area median income, and 12 units (50%) will be reserved for
income-qualified homeowners making up to 120% of area median income. To accomplish this
mixed income development Habitat and TBNHS would partner to co-develop the parcel, leveraging
both organizations abilities to serve the diverse income range required.

Re: RFP/Q #44-23 Letter of support
Dear Review Committee,
On behalf of the Clearwater Urban Leadership Coalition, please accept this letter of support to Tampa
Bay Neighborhood Housing Services in their Request for Proposal and Quantification submission to
develop 1454 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue.
In order to ensure that our businesses have the workers they need, we need to address the issue of
housing affordability. This means we need a diverse array of options that meet the needs of a variety of
income levels. This is why we support the joint development proposal from Tampa Bay Neighborhood
Housing Services in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas & Pasco Counties to develop
twenty-four townhomes for affordable and workforce housing.
This proposal will provide homes for individuals and families seeking an affordable place to live within
our city and we believe that it is an excellent use of public property. We are particularly excited about
the impact this project will have on the community; it will provide stable housing, promote economic
development, and increase access to healthy, sustainable communities.
The approval of this project will help the city open a new chapter in the ever-evolving story of affordable
and workforce housing. Let s get this built.
Sincerely,
Clearwater Urban Leadership Coalition
Gloria Campbell
Executive Director
Seeking to put God's love into
action, Habitat for Humanity brings
people together to build homes,
communities, and hope.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Joint Project Agreement (JPA) with Pinellas County for the Reclaimed Water Pipe
Repair - Old Coachman Rd. project (17-0056-UT) in the amount of $506,583.00; approve
Supplemental Two Work Order to AECOM in the amount of $6,897.00 increasing the work
order from $75,378.00 to $82,275.00 pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 26-19,
Engineer of Record (EOR) Consulting Services, and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Pinellas County intends to replace the bridge at the Old Coachman Rd. over Alligator Creek
crossing near BayCare Ballpark. The City of Clearwater owns and maintains a 16-in. reclaimed
water (RCW) main that runs along the west side of the existing bridge. The bridge construction
requires relocation or adjustments to the City’s RCW main due to conflicts with the County’s
proposed improvements. The City benefits from the relocation.
November 2019, Purchasing Manager approved the initial Work Order to EOR AECOM in the
amount of $29,158.00 to provide design and bidding services associated with relocating the
RCW main.
June 2020, City Manager approved Supplemental Work Order 1, in the amount of $46,220.00,
to AECOM, increasing the total work order value to $75,378.00, to include engineering services
during construction associated with relocating the city RCW main.
June 2020, City Council approved a JPA in the amount of $356,790.00 to fund the contractor’s
construction costs (ID#20-7764). Unfortunately, Pinellas County did not bid the project within
the original JPA timeline, and it has since expired. The bidding did not occur due to COVID
related issues and lack of project manager resources. Also, due to the amount of time that has
passed since the original JPA and Supplemental Work Order 1 were approved, both costs
have increased.
This item includes a new JPA with the County, in the amount of $506,583.00, to fund the
contractor’s construction costs, in addition to Supplemental Work Order 2, in the amount of
$6,897.00, to AECOM that provides for cost adjustments for engineering services during
construction. AECOM’s total work order value increased to $82,275.00.
Pinellas County will receive competitive bids for the bridge replacement and award the contract
to the lowest responsible bidder. Final costs will be determined by the contractor’s bid. The City
will be advised of the actual contract bid costs and will be given the opportunity to reject the bid
if deemed excessive. The JPA cost is typically less than if the city bid this project separately.

The project is estimated to be complete within 240 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed
issued by Pinellas County to the contractor.
Public Utilities owns and maintains the reclaimed distribution system included in this scope of
work.

in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and in further consideration of the
mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is agreed by the Parties as follows:
1.Utility Work
The City’s Utility Work within the limits of the Project is more specifically described as the
replacement, relocation or adjustment of a 500 linear foot twelve inch (12”) reclaimed water main

2.Funding
2.1 The County will be responsible for the bidding and award of the construction
contract for the Project and will include the Utility Work as a separate option item in its bidding
document. After the County receives, opens, and evaluates the bids, the County will notify the
City, in writing, of the County’s intent to award the contract (“Notification”). This Notification
will include the amount for the Utility Work option. The bid will be awarded based upon the total
bid amount including the Joint Project Agreement option. The City will have fifteen (15) days from
receipt of the County’s notification to request, in writing, that the County delete the Utility
Work option from the County’s award of bid/construction contract, and to notify the County of the
City’s intent to perform the Utility Work with the City’s own forces or its own contractor. In order
not to delay the construction of the Project, the City must show that it is ready and able to
perform all Utility Work prior to requesting that the County delete the Utility Work option from
the contract award. The City does not have the right to delay or affect, in any way, the award of
the contract. In the event the City, in performing the Utility Work causes a compensable delay
to the County’s construction of this Project, the City will pay all claims and costs incurred due to
its delay.
2.2 The City hereby certifies that funding for the preliminary estimated Utility Work
cost (Exhibit A) of Four Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Four Hundred Sixty and 0/100

cost of Five Hundred Six Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Three and 00/100 Dollars
($506,583.00), has been appropriated and is available for deposit into an interest bearing escrow
account for the purpose of payments by the County to the contractor on the City’s behalf. The
deposit will be due to the County no later than thirty (30) days from the date of Notification of
the County’s intent to award the construction contract. If the Utility Work option portion of
the contractor’s bid selected by the County for the performance of the Utility Work exceeds the
amount of the preliminary estimated Utility Work, then subject to and in accordance with the
limitations and conditions established by Subparagraph 2.1 hereof regarding the City’s option to
remove the Utility Work, the City will deposit an amount with the County which equals the total
option item plus 5% of that amount for County construction/contract administration/compaction
and backfill testing. Interest will accrue on the deposit balance and be used toward the cost of the
Utility Work. In the event, the final actual cost of the Utility Work is less than the amount the City
deposited, including all interest earned, but excluding the 5% for County construction/contract
administration/compaction and backfill testing of the actual construction costs, the County will
reimburse the City any excess escrow account funds. Should contract modifications occur that
increase the cost of the Utility Work, or the estimated quantities of items provided by the City
in Exhibit A is exceeded, the City will be notified by the County accordingly. The City will pay
the County within thirty (30) calendar days of notification by the County to ensure that cash on
deposit with the County is sufficient to fully fund the cost of the Utility Work. The County shall
notify the City as soon as it becomes apparent the actual costs will overrun the award amount, and
the City shall pay for the cost overruns (plus a 5% administrative fee) within thirty (30) calendar
days of notification by the County. However, the failure of the County to notify the City shall
not relieve the City from its obligation to pay for the full cost of the Utility Work.
All deposits due to the County referenced in Section 2.2 above shall be mailed to:
Finance Division Accounts Receivable
Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners
P. O. Box 2438
Clearwater, FL 33757

SUMMARY:
On March 19, 2020, Council approved a purchase order to Shannon Chemical Corporation for

potable water treatment plants in the annual not-to-exceed amount of $110,000.00 with two,
one-year renewal options pursuant to ITB 16-20, Corrosion Control Chemical Poly/Ortho Blend.
Both State and Federal drinking water regulations require public water systems to monitor and
control corrosion in domestic water supplies.
In March 2022, there was a price increase for Corrosion Control Chemical Poly/Ortho Blend
from $1.347/lb. to $2.677/lb. This price increase is the driving factor for the increase. With this
increase, the total not-to-exceed amount will be $140,000.00 through March 29, 2023.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize a purchase order to Gardner Denver, Inc. of Charleroi, PA, for the purchase of blower
equipment, replacement parts, and service, in an annual not-to-exceed amount of $225,000.00
for the period of December 2, 2022 through December 1, 2023 with the option of two, one-year
renewals at an annual not-to-exceed amount of $110,000.00 pursuant to Clearwater Code of

SUMMARY:
Gardner Denver Blowers are standardized in the City’s wastewater facilities. These blowers
supply air to the aeration basins, and other areas which are critical for the processing of
wastewater. The units are engineered and designed to supply a specific volume of processed
air which is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance. Standardization of blower equipment
reduces redesign/retrofit of the piping systems and overall downtime. Standardization also
reduces the required stocking of parts, replacement blowers, training, and the cost of
maintenance operations.
Public Utilities has received Proposal No. SF-1063756 Rev 1 in the amount of $114,534.00 for
the purchase of a spare unit. A spare unit will reduce downtime and help maintain plant
compliance when treating wastewater. The remainder of the contract amount will be used to
address maintenance and repair costs as they arise.
In accordance with Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.563 (1)(d), Exceptions to
Bidding, Gardner Denver is the only authorized vendor for Hoffman /Lamson/and Invincible
Centrifugal Blowers, replacement parts, and factory-authorized service.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Budgeted funds are available in Public Utilities operating cost centers 550400 Operating
Supplies & Materials to cover the cost of the contract for FY23.
Funding for future fiscal years will be requested within the contract calendar and spending
limits.

CASE STUDIES
DEVELOPMENT—ENTITLEMENTS C ASE STUDY: PROJECT
INFILL REQUIRED
EXCESSIVE PARKING TO
MEET
PARKING STANDARDS
WHICH ADVERSELY
IMPACTED RENTABLE
FLOOR AREA.
Solving this matter was essential to
achieving sufficient NOI to warrant
developing the in-fill convenience
retail strip.
Background
The jurisdiction within which this asset is located
required parking of greater than 10 spaces per 1,000
sq. ft. of total rentable space in the in-fill
development. Combined with the limitation for
compact spaces (10%) and the size of the spaces, the
yield on the development would not meet the
investment hurdle rate under these parking criteria.
Goals
Secure a variance to the parking requirement that
would permit development of the in-fill building
which would make the investment viable.
My role
As the manager of the project’s development, I
evaluated the land development code with
consultation of a land use attorney and determined
the parking requirement could not be met in light of
alternative parking layout with the input of the site
design engineer. I would lead the effort to resolve
this problem.
Parking
requirements in a
jurisdiction
adversely
impacted the
opportunity to
achieve a
favorable
financial return
during
development of
in-fill lease space
in a value-add
acquisition. My
management of
the variance
process and
participation in
the variance
hearing enabled
the project to
achieve the
investment
returns required.
Result
With the civil engineer as partner, we applied for a
variance to the land development requirements to
include both parking and side yard setback to meet the
rentable yield required to achieve investor-expected
returns.
In preparation for the zoning hearing and to complete
the variance application, I retained a planning consultant
to conduct a parking survey/analysis of the project to
determine usage of the parking areas already in place
with hopes of finding excess parking capacity on the
project’s overall site. The study revealed that 75 parking
spaces were available adjacent to the outparcel which
would host the in-fill development. Further
complicating this, the Conditional Use Permit under
which this property was developed required that each
outparcel park 100% of its needs on its own outparcel.
Our variance package was submitted, and by standard
procedure, the planning staff recommended that the
jurisdiction’s governing council deny the variance.
We scheduled the zoning hearing but decided to delay
the hearing for one month due to the announced
absence of one of the council’s members which would
leave us with only one negative vote possible in order to
succeed. The following month the hearing occurred
with all council members in attendance thus permitting
us to succeed with two negative votes.
During the hearing, it became clear that the
jurisdictional council did not like compact parking spaces
and seemed to want all spaces to be 10’ x 20’. I offered,
as the applicant, that we would gladly build all spaces at
full size in exchange for approval of our variance which
was 1) offsite parking (meaning adjacent to the
outparcel), 2) approval of our requested side yard
setback, and 3) minor reductions in the landscape
buffer. All council members voted to approve the
variance.
DEVELOPMENT—DESIGN MANAGEMENT AND IMPACT FEES C ASE STUDY:
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
WAS ADVERSELY
INCREASING
WATER/SEWER IMPACT
FEES.
Managing the design effort can pay
for itself in ways not often
considered.
Background
The architect’s plumbing design sub-consultant on
this project had specified that the property would
require a 3” potable water tap in order to meet
healthcare regulatory requirements (AHCA) for water
pressure at the ends of the plumbing runs.
Guiding the Design
I have found that future impact of design decisions
can be analyzed a number of ways. One method I use
is to anticipate the financial cost or impact of all
decisions. Sometimes these costs are “first costs”
and sometimes they are “second costs” or ongoing
maintenance/replacement costs. In this case, the
cost was a “soft” cost which would be outside of the
cost of construction and wouldn’t be a consideration
from a general construction or property management
point of view. It was a pure capital cost to the
ownership.
As a part of my due diligence process, I research and
archive the various soft costs that a project may incur
and keep it readily accessible. One of the soft costs I
research is tap/capacity fees or water/sewer impact
fees for various size water services. I do this prior to
design and set a budget based upon an informed
estimate regarding the size water tap that will likely
be required for the scale and type of project (this
project is healthcare – skilled nursing).
Examine all
costs to ensure
savings are
achieved
whenever
reasonable and
possible.
I determined that the incremental difference in water
impact fees between 2” and 3” taps would be greater
than $100,000 for both the water and sewer fees. Since
this amount is material to the project, I decided to
engage with the plumbing engineer regarding the
detailed requirements of the design to meet by client,
local jurisdiction and state standards.
The plumbing engineer confirmed that a boost pump
with a 2” tap would meet the pressure requirements for
the client and would meet AHCA regulations. We priced
the cost of a boost pump (installed with electrical) to be
less than $20,000. Based on these facts, the plumbing
engineer was directed to design using a 2” tap.
During review of the construction documents developed
in response to this request, I noted that the plumbing
engineer had provided a table of values in his water
calculations that included details not required for review
in the permitting process. My experience with plans
reviewers (and others) is that too much information
sometimes triggers unforeseen objections.
I was able to convince the plumbing engineer to
eliminate the excessive data in the table of values. The
submitted plans were approved and the water/sewer
impact fees were accordingly reduced.
DEVELOPMENT—MANAGING PLATTING
C ASE STUDY: THE
SUBDIVISION PROCESS
WAS REQUIRING A
FORMAL PLAT WHICH WAS
TRIGGERING OFFSITE
IMPROVEMENTS THAT
WOULD EXCEED THE
PROJECT BUDGET.
The platting process was causing
both a schedule delay and project
cost overrun.
Background
This project had been handled by other development
managers and was assigned to me due to staff layoff
in the early phase development. The formal platting
process was requiring signoff/approval by an
independent governmental drainage district which
was demanding that the project culvert and cover an
open drainage district that was 2 parcels distant from
the project site at a cost of approximately $300,000.
Goals
Get this project moving forward quickly and eliminate
the offsite improvement, if possible. Ownership had
agreed internally to pay this unexpected cost.
My role
As the development manager for this project, I
needed to motivate the land planning consultant who
was representing the project to the jurisdiction to
solve this problem in a manner less impactful to the
project’s ownership.
Investigate all
possible paths
to achieve
needed
results.
Result
During meetings with the land planning consultant, I
learned that the consultant was taking the path of least
resistance to secure construction permits which require
subdivision of the project’s parcel from another. The
response to most of my questions were equivocal and
indicated a lack of material knowledge in the process.
I insisted that we find a professional with sufficient
knowledge of the subdivision process. The consultancy’s
principal joined our meeting and suggested I interview a
highly experienced surveyor for guidance in alternative
approaches.
Upon interviewing the surveyor, I learned that the
County in which the property was located permitted 2
lot subdivisions without requiring a formal plat. By this
approach, we would eliminate the review and approval
of the drainage district and completely avoid the offsite
improvements the district demanded.
We moved forward with the subdivision by survey and
returned the project to forward progress with a nearly
immediate ground breaking.
DEVELOPMENT—DESIGN MANAGEMENT C ASE STUDY:
CHALLENGING A CIVIL
ENGINEER TO STEP
OUTSIDE OF NORMAL
DESIGN APPROACH
RESULTED IN SAVINGS OF
$2,700,000 IN SITE WORK
COSTS.
Taking a different approach to
storage of storm water resulted in
both a reduction in site construction
costs, but also yielded more
developable land along the primary
frontage of the project.
Background
This project had a nine-foot fall from the rear of the
property to its frontage. To balance the site, import
fill would be required to “reverse” site drainage to
storage at the rear of the site thus providing better
yield at the frontage and an abundance of outparcels
for sale, lease or development. The problem was
that, though the project could afford it, the import fill
would cost about $3,000,000 and would present a
grading challenge to maintain good site lines from the
arterial roadway on the frontage onto the project
site.
Goals
Increase the financial yield along the frontage, reduce
the site import fill costs and avoid design challenges
related to maintaining site lines.
As the manager of this project’s development, I
represented project ownership as the owner’s
representative. The project’s leasing effort was being
conducted by an in-house agent as landlord
representative who reported to me.
Understanding
designer’s
perspectives
and approaches
by asking good
quality
questions which
delve into the
underlying
assumptions
and prejudices
of the designer
often produces
better
outcomes.
My role
As the project’s development manager, I managed the
pre-construction design overall with input from the
general contractor.
Results
Following a series of schematic site designs, I directed
the site civil engineer to conduct a series of storm water
studies to find an alternative solution including
purchasing adjacent land for storm water storage.
Though some improved the financial result, none were
particularly attractive. I then challenged the engineer
about lining the storm water ponds and placing them
near the frontage, but much smaller than those laid out
in the schematic plan (8+ acres).
The conditions of the site included extremely shallow
seasonal high ground water which resulted in large,
shallow storm water ponds. The adjacent topography
provided a significant elevation drop from the northwest
corner of the property headed westward of about
twelve feet over a 600’ run in the highway right of way.
I discussed with the engineer if we could effectively
lower the seasonal high ground water elevation by using
the outfall elevation 600’ westward, we could then
create storm water storage volume that would be
deeper and thus, would occupy far less developable
surface area then the current schematic design. The
engineer countered that the cost to line the ponds
would be significant. Asking how significant, the
engineer told me it could cost as much as $300,000.
Clearly, the engineer was a bit myopic in considering a
$300,000 cost rather than the whole scope of storm
water facility construction costs which necessarily
included import fill or $3,000,000. The result was
designing the site to use lined ponds, reducing site
construction costs by $2,700,000 and providing greater
financial yield from the highway frontage land.
DEVELOPMENT—DESIGN MANAGEMENT C ASE STUDY: SITE DESIGN
ENGINEER PROVIDED A
POORLY LOCATED STORM
WATER SYSTEM WHICH
WOULD ADVERSELY
IMPACT SITE
CONSTRUCTION
SEQUENCE AND
SUBCONTRACTOR
MOBILIZATION.
Redesigning the storm water system
was necessary to achieve both
budget and schedule.
Background
Due to site size limitations and cost of the land, this
project required underground storm water
attenuation, storage and treatment. The initial
schematic site design placed storm water chambers
and drain fields on north, south and east sides of the
building (the building was located at the minimum
setback line from the western boundary of the
parcel). I recognized that this arrangement would be
problematic for crane placement during construction
impacting both sequence and mobilization of lifting
equipment. I also noted that differential compacting
over the chambers compared to other locations
would be costly in execution.
Goals
Minimize the impact of the design to sequence and
mobilization and, to the degree possible, reduce the
cost of underground storm water facilities.
As the manager of this project’s development, I
represented project ownership as the owner’s
representative. The project’s leasing effort was being
conducted by an in-house agent as landlord

representative who reported to me.
My role
As the project development manager, I represented
project ownership as the owner’s representative and
was responsible for guiding both design professionals
and the general contractor during the pre-construction
phase. I had retained the civil engineering firm with
input from the general contractor (which was an internal
vendor of the development company).
Results
With much effort, I convinced the civil engineering firm’s
project manager to move all storm water facilities to the
east side of the property (where the largest expanse of
parking was to be located) and to eliminate all storm
water facilities on the north and south sides of the
building. I attempted without success to reduce
materially the cost of the storm water system due to the
unwillingness of the engineering firm’s project manager
to entertain alternative designs…who insisted that a
StormTech system be used. Some savings were
achieved by locating all storm water excavation in one
contiguous location. The final design result avoided the
sequencing and mobilization problem that would’ve
occurred with the initial design.

Agenda Number: 9.2
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Fiscal Year 22-23 through Fiscal year 24-25 Three-Year Local Housing Assistance
Plan for Pinellas County Housing Trust Fund and adopt Resolution 22-21.
SUMMARY:
To increase resources to address the shortage of affordable housing in Pinellas County, the
Board of County Commissioners authorized the establishment of the Pinellas County
Community Housing Trust Program with the adoption of Resolution 05-237. The Program was
created for the purpose of providing funds to promote homeownership and to expand the
production and preservation of rental and owner-housing affordable to very low-income,
low-income, and moderate-income households.
County Ordinance 06-28 was adopted establishing the Housing Trust Fund. The Pinellas
County Housing Finance Authority, on behalf of the Board, oversees the administration of the
trust fund.
Under the proposed three-year plan, the Housing Division of Economic Development &
Housing Department will expend $293,710 comprised of program delivery and administration of
funds as described below. These funds are available from the existing cash balance and future
program income and will serve to further the City’s efforts in affordable housing. The program
goals and objectives are consistent with the Five-Year Consolidated Plan that was approved by
the City Council on July 16, 2020.
Each jurisdiction receiving or expending funds is required to submit an application that includes
a Local Housing Assistance Plan that proposes how the jurisdiction will utilize the funds. The
county and the cities are using State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program guidelines
as a general template for the use of funds. Per the county’s requirements, funds will be
leveraged at a minimum ratio of 2:1. Clearwater’s proposed use of funds for each of the three
main strategies and program administration are:
Produce new rental and owner housing
Preserve existing rental and owner housing

3. Program Years Covered by Plan:
FY 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 4. Narrative describing advertising plan (Rules, Section 3(6)(a)): In accordance with the referenced Rule, upon approval of this Plan by the Housing Finance Authority, the City of Clearwater will advertise the availability of the Plan for public viewing in a newspaper of general circulation and periodicals servicing ethnic and diverse
neighborhoods at least 30 days before the beginning of the application period. This advertisement will also contain a Notice of Funding Availability and information about the application process for these funds. In addition, the advertisement will include the amount
of program income projected to be received for the plan year, the beginning and end date of the application period and the name of the contact person and other pertinent information. Applications for the development of housing units will be considered on an on-
going basis. Advertising will also be displayed on the city’s Housing Department website and through press releases.
5. Narrative describing involvement of other public and private sector entities and partners:
The city has established local housing partnerships and resources to increase the affordability of housing through down payment and closing costs assistance, low interest
rate mortgage loans, grants and other direct subsidies that make market rate housing affordable to lower income households. Special interest rates, product pricing structures, special programs and other incentives are offered by lenders and real estate professionals to enhance affordability. All city housing programs encourage building active partnerships between government, lenders, builders and developers. Involvement is continually solicited through public hearings and forums, special housing committees and work groups, and consultations with public, quasi-public, and non-profit agencies. The city has ongoing funding relationships with area non-profits and housing developers through the administration of its other grant funds.
6. Narrative describing qualified system and selection criteria for applications for awards to eligible sponsors:
2
Eligible sponsors, by means of the City of Clearwater Consolidated Action Plan process,
are considered by application and evaluated and rated by either staff or a review committee, depending upon the proposed activity. Areas that are evaluated include: economic feasibility of a project; timeliness of completion; past experience; commitment to expanding affordable housing opportunities to very-low, low- and moderate-income households; preservation of the housing stock to increase property values; and
enhancement of a community’s image in targeted areas for housing developers. Eligible sponsors must prepare an application which contains, but is not limited to,
organizational capacity; project proposal; pro-forma; project budget; financial analysis; site information; zoning information; proof of clear title; and proof of environmental assessment. The designated participant must plan to complete the project within twenty (24) months. Larger, longer-term projects may be proposed outside of the housing pool as funding is available. Incentives to designated participants will be granted to those organizations to
facilitate local housing assistance strategies. 7. Narrative describing criteria for selection of eligible persons: Applications, for both owner-occupied rehabilitation and purchase assistance programs, will be funded on a first-come, first-qualified, first-served basis by city or administering
agencies. Applicants must be income eligible; the property must meet the city’s established requirements; and the property must be the occupied as primary residence. Tenants applying for rental housing units will be qualified on a first-come, first-qualified,
first-served basis by housing sponsors. Tenants must be income-eligible and must occupy the rental-unit as their primary residence.
What constitutes income eligibility will be defined in each specific program. No homeowner or tenant will be assisted whose gross income exceeds 120% of AMI as defined in Ordinance 06-28. Income eligibility will be determined by the same HUD - established
methodology currently utilized in other City of Clearwater housing programs. The current methodology is annual income as defined in 24 CFR Part 5.
8. Narrative describing the participating jurisdiction’s maximum award schedule or system of
amounts and how it is consistent with the intent and budget of this local housing assistance plan:
The maximum award schedule under this plan will be based upon the amount of subsidy required by a project to produce units that can be sold or rented for no more than the maximum purchase price or the maximum rent allowed under the City’s program. This
methodology is consistent with the intent and budget of this Local Housing Assistance Plan in that it relates maximum awards to the local price of housing and local rents. Further, it ensures that housing produced under this plan will be consistent with “community housing” as defined in the Ordinance. 9. Narrative describing the expenditure process (attach timeline for each fiscal year covered by this plan as Exhibit A):
Exhibit A shows the anticipated expenditure pattern. If it is determined, during periodic reviews, that the expenditures under a particular strategy are not being made as
3
anticipated, the city may proceed with another strategy shown on Exhibits A and B without
need for amendment of this plan. 10.
Narrative regarding provision for the application of program income and recaptured funds, evidencing compliance with the provision of Ordinance 06-28, Section 3(5):
The City will continue its established Local Housing Assistance Fund with a qualified depository for all monies the City will receive from its share of program funds; recaptured
program funds; program income; and other monies received or budgeted by the city for the Local Housing Assistance Plan. These funds will be placed in a separate account.
The exception to the above paragraph is any program income resulting from proceeds used to match the Federal HOME program. Such program income shall be deposited to the HOME program fund, as required by Federal law. All funds distributed out of the Local Housing Assistance Fund must be leveraged on a 2:1 basis. The eighty percent (80%) non-forgiven loan requirement and twenty percent (20%) for special needs/extremely low-income requirement do not apply to program income.
11. Narrative regarding ownership housing affordability period provisions: Loans or grants for houses constructed, rehabilitated, or otherwise assisted through this
Plan shall be subject to equity sharing and recapture requirements deemed appropriate at the time the loan is made. Minimum requirements, however, as required by the Rules are: Ninety percent (90%) recapture within two years from the date of purchase and Fifty (50%) recapture after two years or more from the date of purchase. The intent of the programs administered under this Plan is to allow property owners to realize a portion of the equity if a property is occupied or used for its intended purpose for a specific period of time, but also to prevent property owners from realizing inordinate gains. The city also intends to perpetuate affordability of housing units when appropriate. These goals could be realized through resale restrictions or through other types of agreements that fulfill these intents, but in no event shall the requirements be less than those mandated
by the Rules of the Housing Trust Fund.
12.
Narrative regarding process followed to assess and prioritize housing needs: The City of Clearwater has identified priorities for assisting households. The first priority is to provide safe, decent, adequate and affordable housing in safe and desirable environments for homeowners, homebuyers and renters. The second priority is to provide housing and supportive services housing programs. Studies are undertaken for the
Housing Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and for the Federal Consolidated Planning process. In addition to formal studies, stakeholder input is sought through public
meetings and forums.
13.
Strategy 1 – Produce new rental and owner housing - Brief narrative regarding activities to be carried out under this strategy, including (a) the proposed sales price of owner housing produced; (b) what resources through partnership will be combined to reduce the cost of housing; (c) any support services provided by the participating jurisdiction to the residents of the housing; (d) what initiatives will be used to conduct outreach and to attract applicants
4
for assistance; and (e) a description of how this strategy furthers the housing element,
goals, policies, and objectives of the participating jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan: Through the utilization of various funding sources and in conjunction with partnerships, a high priority is placed on collaborative efforts and effective use of resources to ensure that housing costs are minimized and impediments are removed. The City of Clearwater engages the community in seeking and promoting housing units which, based on surveys or citizen input, addresses the need of affordability, accessibility and meets the standard of suitable living environments. Partnerships are established that provide homebuyer
education classes, which is a step that potential homebuyers can take to become informed on ways to increase their credit score and become a more desirable candidate for the finance industry to provide a home loan with a low interest rate.
(a) The proposed sales price of owner-housing produced may not exceed the purchase
limits for the city. The city’s funding limits will be set forth on the Exhibit B but may
adjust such funding limits on a not to exceed State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) program purchase price limits without amendments to this Plan.
(b) The City will continue to develop partnerships with non-profits and developers for construction of new units. The cost of construction can be reduced by utilizing incentives provided for Affordable Housing Developments. Loans to affordable housing builders, and eventual homeowner, will provide a below market supplement to private market financing to further reduce costs.
(c) The City of Clearwater partners with organizations that provide support services in many areas to the residents of housing. Necessity for support services, however, will be determined on a project-by-project basis. If a proposed project is intended to serve a population that traditionally needs specific support services to sustain housing, the proposal must clearly demonstrate how those support services will be delivered and maintained by the developer of the housing project.
(d) The city will continue to develop relationships with non-profits and other agencies that assist applicants in finding suitable rental-housing which offer services that prepare applicants for homeownership. The city advertises its housing program
through print media and its website. Developers of housing are required to submit an Affirmative Marketing Plan as part of the application process. Homeowner and rental applicants will be qualified on a first-come, first-served basis by the developer and/or administering agencies. Applicants must meet the income guidelines applicable to the strategy and must occupy the purchased or rented property as a primary residence. (e) This strategy furthers the Housing Element of the comprehensive plan that acknowledges deficits in both rental and owner-occupied housing for extremely low- to moderate-income households through the year 2020, addressing the factors which prevent homeownership due to excessive cost burdens and barriers that are prevalent in the pursuit of purchasing decent and affordable housing.
14.
Strategy 2 – Preserve existing rental and owner housing - Brief narrative regarding activities to be carried out under this strategy, including (a) the proposed sales price of any
5
rehabilitated properties to be sold; (b) proposed caps on the value of any owner occupied
housing to be rehabilitated; (c) what resources through partnership will be combined to reduce the cost of housing; (d) any support services provided by the participating jurisdiction to the residents of the housing; (e) what initiatives will be used to conduct outreach and to attract applicants for assistance; and (f) a description of how this strategy furthers the housing element, goals, policies, and objectives of the participating
jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan: Both rental and owner housing may be preserved through acquisition of existing units and
rehabilitation of units. Although this strategy appears primarily as a rental strategy on the attached Exhibit B, this strategy may be carried out for both owner and rental housing at any time during the three-year period covered by this Plan without amendment to this Plan. The estimated number of households proposed to be served, by income, as shown on Exhibit B, may be adjusted at any time without amendment to this Plan. Additional preservation activities may be added as need and market conditions change without
amendment to this Plan.
(a) The proposed sales price of any rehabilitated property to be sold under this strategy may not exceed the purchase price limits under the City’s program in effect at the time the home is sold. The current SHIP purchase price limit is $349,525.80. The City anticipates that funding limits will be set forth on Exhibit B, but may adjust such funding limits, not to exceed SHIP purchase price limits, without amendment to this Plan.
(b) The value of the owner-occupied housing to be rehabilitated may not exceed the
purchase price limit under the City’s program in effect at the time the home is sold.
Value will be determined using the same methodology utilized in other city Housing
programs at the time of rehabilitation. Currently, the city utilizes the “Sales
Comparable Value” as documented by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s
Office.
(c) The city will continue to develop partnerships with non-profits and developers for acquisition and rehabilitation of units, as is done in all other housing programs the city currently carries out. The cost of substantial rehabilitation may be reduced
through the use of loans which provide a below market supplement to private market financing.
(d) Support services are available from various sources which include, but are not limited to: Homeownership Counseling (Pre and Post), Credit Counseling, Tenant Counseling and Transportation.
(e) The city will continue to develop relationships with non-profits and other agencies
that assist applicants in finding suitable rental housing and which offer services that prepare applicants for homeownership. The city also widely advertises its housing programs through print media and its website. Developers of housing undertaking
substantial rehabilitation or conversion of non-residential properties to rental housing are required to submit an Affirmative Marketing Plan as part of the application process. Homeowner and rental applicants will be qualified on a first-
come, first-served basis by the developer and/or the administrating agencies.
6
Applicants must meet the income guidelines applicable to the strategy and must
occupy the purchased or rented property as a primary residence.
(f) This strategy furthers the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, preservation may include acquisition of existing units by non-profits or a Community Land Trust to preserve these units as affordable housing by taking them out of the market rate housing pool. These units assist the deficit of affordable housing units described in Strategy 1. The preservation of existing housing stock is the first objective under the current Consolidated Action Plan and furthers the goals, policies
and objectives by ensuring there are provisions available for preservation through the use of state and federal funds for rehabilitation, code compliance and adherence to building standards, and elimination of blight. The city also focuses on the removal of architectural barriers, thus allowing for homeowners to maintain their units while making necessary modifications. Internal
guidelines and procedures are established to ensure that costs related to preservation are limited to a standard of reasonableness.
15
.
Strategy 3 – Promote Housing Opportunities - Brief narrative regarding activities to be
carried out under this strategy, including (a) proposed caps on the value of homes to be purchased under this strategy; (b) what resources through partnership will be combined to reduce the cost of housing; (c) any support services provided by the participating
jurisdiction to the residents of the housing; (d) what initiatives will be used to conduct outreach and to attract applicants for assistance; and (e) a description of how this strategy furthers the housing element, goals, policies, and objectives of the participating
jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan: Through this strategy, down payment and closing costs assistance will be provided to income-qualified households. This strategy may be carried out at any time during the three-year period covered by this Plan. While this strategy is primarily intended to assist with the promotion of homeownership opportunities, it may be utilized to assist with the promotion of rental opportunities through rental assistance activities without amendment to the Plan. The estimated number of households proposed to be served by income as shown on Exhibit B, may be adjusted at any time without amendment to this Plan. Additional activities to promote housing opportunities may be added as needs and market conditions change without amendment to this Plan.
(a) The purchase price of homes purchased under this strategy may not exceed the
city’s maximum purchase price for new or existing homes. The current maximum purchase price for newly constructed and for existing homes is $349,525.80. The
city’s funding limits will be set forth in Exhibit A or B, but may adjust such funding limits from time to time, not to exceed the SHIP purchase price limits, without amendment of this Plan. The monthly rent for tenants assisted under this strategy may not exceed the 120% rent limits under the SHIP program in effect at the time the unit is rented.
(b) The city will continue to develop partnerships with non-profits who prepare applicants for homeownership and with lenders that make primary loans. Homebuyer education may reduce the cost of housing by helping the homebuyers to obtain better pricing for services required for their real estate transaction.
7
Partnership with lenders may reduce the price of housing by allowing homebuyers
to obtain a more favorable interest rate on primary loans.
(c) Support services will not be provided by the city to the residents of housing. Necessity for support services, however, will be determined on a case-by-case basis by agencies administering the assistance programs. If needed, support services for credit counseling, pre-purchase, post-purchase and foreclosure prevention counseling will be provided through these agencies.
(d) The city will continue to develop relationships with non-profits and other agencies that offer services that prepare applicants for homeownership or which assist applicants in need of rental housing. The city advertises its housing programs through the print media and website. Developers of housing are required to submit an Affirmative Marketing Plan as part of the application process. Applicants will be qualified on a first-come, first-served basis by eligible sponsors and administering agencies. Applicants must meet the income guidelines applicable to the strategy and must occupy the property as primary residence.
(e) This strategy furthers the Housing Element of the comprehensive plan that acknowledges deficits in housing for the extremely low- to moderate-income households through the year 2020. The subsidy provided to a household through this strategy can close the affordability gap and ease the deficit.
16
.
Strategy 4 – Provide Housing Services - Brief narrative regarding activities to be carried out
under this strategy, including: (a) what resources through partnership will be combined to reduce the cost of housing; (b) any support services provided by the participating jurisdiction to the residents of the housing; (c) what initiatives will be used to conduct
outreach and to attract applicants for assistance; and (d) a description of how this strategy furthers the housing element, goals, policies, and objectives of the participating
jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan:
Through this strategy, available support services may include, but are not limited to, fair housing services, housing placement services, pre- and post-purchase homeownership counseling, credit counseling, and foreclosure prevention counseling.

.
Narrative explaining how the activities carried out under these Strategies will meet the
requirements of Ordinance 06-28, Section 3(4)(a) – Leveraging 2:1: The city will meet this requirement on a program year allocation basis and not on an individual project basis. The city will track its portion of the Housing Trust Funds used in each project for leveraging. Leveraging may come from but is not limited to: loans made to projects by other lenders; grants made to projects; donated land; developer and sponsor owner-equity and donated materials; supplies, labor and services. 18.
Narrative explaining how the activities carried out under these Strategies will meet the requirements of Ordinance 06-28, Section 3(4)(b) – 80% non-forgiven loans:
The city will meet this requirement by using both amortized loans and deferred payment loans. No loan will be forgiven. The type of loan made will be determined on a project-by-project basis, as the debt service capability of each project is underwritten. This requirement does not apply to the expenditure of program income.
19
.
Narrative explaining how the activities carried out under these Strategies will meet the
requirements of Ordinance 06-28, Section 3(4)(c) – 15% special needs or <30% AMI: The city will meet this requirement by producing or preserving units specifically for this targeted population or by working with other Participating Jurisdictions on a collaborative basis. Additional activities to utilize the fifteen percent (15%) set-aside may be carried out by one of the four strategies as needs and market conditions change without amendment to this Plan. This requirement does not apply to the expenditure of program income. 20.
Narrative explaining how rental developments assisted under this plan will be monitored annually and how tenant eligibility shall be determined throughout the compliance period:
For rental housing assisted under this Plan, the city, or its agent, shall annually monitor and determine tenant eligibility and subsidy amounts using the HUD established methodology utilized in other city housing programs. The current methodology is annual income as defined in 24 CFR Part 5. However, to the extent another governmental entity provides the same monitoring and determination, the city may rely on such monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility. Tenant eligibility will be monitored, at minimum, once a year for fifteen (15) years, or the term of the assistance, whichever period is longer. Loans for rental housing development made under this Plan shall be secured by a mortgage recorded against real property and a promissory note. The continued use of the real property for affordable rental shall be ensured by recording a Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA) attached to the land. Developers and sponsors that offer rental housing for sale, prior to the expiration of a LURA, must ensure continued occupancy by eligible person(s) for the remainder of the affordability period required under the LURA.

Exhibit C
City of Clearwater
Housing Policy
Sub-Prime Lending Policy
The city will not assist borrowers who are being charged more than a combined 4% for loan discount
and origination fees by the first mortgage provider. The city will also not assist borrowers who are
obtaining adjustable rate first mortgages, interest only mortgages, mortgages financed by the
owner/seller, or mortgages with above-market interest rates or excessive fees. Interest rate expressed
as Annual Percentage Rate (APR) may not exceed 2% above the Market Rate (a rate that is no more than
25 basis points greater than the most recent Freddie Mac Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey
(PMMS) Rate for 30-year fixed-rate conforming mortgage.
In addition, the city will not assist borrowers with loans that require high up-front and out-of-pocket
fees, prepayment penalties, loans for more that the property is valued, unfavorable balloon payments,
loans that require credit life or credit disability insurance, unreasonable penalties for late fees, having a
mandatory arbitration clause (give of right to sue in court), negative amortizing loans, or open-ended
mortgages.
Exhibit D
City of Clearwater Housing Division Loan Subordination Policy Revised – October 2022
In general, the City of Clearwater does not subordinate mortgages made using CDBG, HTF, HOME, and SHIP funds. However, under the following circumstances, the City will consider taking a subordinate position:
1. The original borrower continues to own and occupy the home as its primary
residence. 2. The original borrower is experiencing financial hardship which would be benefited by securing a lower interest rate on his or her first mortgage accompanied by lower monthly payments.
3. The new monthly payment includes escrows for taxes and insurance, and
represents between 30% - 35% of a borrower’s gross monthly income. 4. The new first mortgage interest rate is at least two percentage points below the original first mortgage, and/or as a result of the monthly savings, the borrower should be able to recoup (break-even) the loan closing costs within
3-5 years.
5. The new loan’s origination fee, points, commitment fees, buy down fees and other lender charges do not exceed 4% of the loan amount. 6. The new first mortgage is a permanently fixed rate mortgage with no balloon payments and no pre-payment penalty. Terms may be made for as few as
ten years, and may go up to thirty years as applicable based on the original
loan balance and the term remaining on the original note. 7. The borrower does not receive any cash out for any purpose, including but not limited to, home improvement loans, bill consolidation loans, lines of credit, future advances, personal loans, medical collections, other mortgages
or encumbrances or liens.
8. The borrower must have sufficient equity in the home so as not to displace the City beyond a 100% loan to value ratio. 9. If the borrower has a payment type loan, the account must be current. 10. Property Taxes must not be delinquent.
11. Borrower must submit proof of homeowner’s insurance.
12. Processing fee of $100 will be charged for subordination review and processing.
Borrowers interested in seeking approval from the City’s Housing Division to
subordinate a first mortgage must:
1. Write the City of Clearwater’s Housing Division requesting the City subordinate to their lender and authorize the lender to receive information regarding their loan for the purposes of the refinance.
2. The Lender must provide the details of the loan being requested by supplying copies of the Loan Estimate, Itemization of Fees, Title Commitment, Appraisal,
Application (1003 form the Lender) and the projected settlement costs.
3. Provide additional information as needed to establish that the loan is strictly for a reduction in payment/interest rate and that the lender is not charging rates or providing terms that will in some way fall under the category of predatory lending
practices.
4. The City must review a copy of the Closing Disclosure prior to release of the
City’s executed Subordination Agreement. If a title company faxes the Closing Disclosure to the City when completed, and supplies their FedEx account
number, the City will overnight, or fax, if acceptable, the executed Subordination
Agreement, if in agreement with the figures on the Closing Disclosure. 5. All requests for subordination must be made at least thirty (30) days prior to closing.
This Loan Subordination Policy may be amended from time to time. For the most up to date version please contact the City of Clearwater – Economic Development & Housing Department at 727.562.4036.
I have read the above City of Clearwater – Subordination Policy and understand the
terms and conditions of the policy.

THIS DECLARATION is entered into this _______________________day of _______________, 2022 between_______________________________________________________________________________,
his/her successors, assigns and transferees regarding the real property described below, hereinafter called (“ Borrower”) and the City of Clearwater, Florida, unit of local government organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida
hereinafter called (“City”), whose address is 600 Cleveland Street, Suite 600, Clearwater, Florida 33755 (Lender).
WHEREAS, the Borrower shall purchase certain real property described herein and agrees to the City that the real property which is the subject of a Mortgage and Note executed by Borrower of even date herewith, shall contain the
restrictive covenants set forth herein, WHEREAS, Borrower agrees that the hereafter described restrictive covenants shall remain in full force and effect against the real property until the end of the Period of Affordability,
WHEREAS, these covenants shall be properly filed and recorded by City in the Official Public Records of Pinellas
County, Florida and shall constitute a restriction upon the use of the property subject to and in accordance with the terms contained herein, and IN CONSIDERATION of funds the City has provided to the Borrower for a loan to finance the down payment and
closing costs on real property located in the City of Clearwater, Pinellas County Florida described as: (LEGAL DESCRIPTION)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ which has the address of: ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________
(herein “Property Address”) and which real property is described in the mortgage between the City and the Borrower, the Borrower acknowledges that these Restrictive Covenants are necessary to comply with the program requirements of the
HOME program stated at 24 CFR §92.254, from which funds were obtained to finance such loan and covenants and agrees with the following: 1. Covenants and Restrictions on Use of HOME Funds. HOME funds provided to this project will be used for down payment
and closing costs for the acquisition of the real property. At the time of the application, the Borrower’s annual income should not exceed 80 percent of the area median income, as determined and made available by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development with adjustments for smaller and larger families at the time of purchase of the new home. The home must be the principal residence of the family.
a. The value of the HOME assisted unit shall not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for that type of
single-family housing for the area (FHA 203(b) limits). The maximum per unit subsidy amount shall not exceed the per dollar limits established under section 221(d)(3)(ii) of the National Housing Act. b. The Borrower shall have fee simple title to the property.
c. For the purpose of these Covenants, the Period of Affordability shall be a period beginning when the HOME funds
are invested and ending at the end of the __________________ ( ) years thereafter.
2
d. During the Period of Affordability, the single-family unit must be occupied by the Borrower. Should the Borrower sell the property to any willing buyer at whatever price the market will bear, the sale will trigger repayment of the HOME assistance. In addition, if the Borrower should rent and/or transfer the property, or if the home shall cease to be the principal/homestead residence of the Borrower, it will trigger repayment of the HOME assistance. e. The City will use the recapture provision for repayment of the loan should the Borrower not abide with the
affordability period or any other default provision in the mortgage, note or covenant. In the event of default, the Borrower shall repay the City in accordance with the following: (1) The “Net Proceeds” from the sale shall be determined by subtracting the amount of the seller’s closing costs and repayments of the outstanding loans on the property, including the repayments of any loans of HOME or other funds provided by the City;
(2) The Borrower may recover his or her initial investment from the Net Proceeds. The initial investment included the amounts he or she contributed to the down payment when the property was originally purchased, to any permanent improvements to the property and to payment of principal on the permanent financing.
(3) Any balance remaining from the initial investment shall be divided proportionally between the Borrower and the
City according to their investments and formulas. The City’s investment shall include all grants and loans of HOME or other City funds provided to the Borrower, minus any repayments previously made to the City. (4) In the event the proceeds from the sale of the property are insufficient to permit the Borrower to recover any of
the amounts indicated in (1), (2) or (3) above, neither the City nor any previous owner shall be liable for such insufficiency.
f. In the event the housing is conveyed pursuant to a foreclosure sale, the provisions of Section 92.254 (a)(5)(ii) of the HOME Program shall apply. The recapture provision provides for shared net proceeds (if any) from the foreclosure sale. If there are no net proceeds from the foreclosure, repayment by the City or the Borrower is not
required and HOME Program requirements are considered to be satisfied.
g. Enforcement. Violation or breach of any restrictions or covenant herein contained shall give the City the right to institute any proceeding at law or in equity necessary to recover the applicable sum set forth in this agreement. If action is instituted by the City to recover the sum, Borrower or its successors in the title agree to pay all costs to
collection, including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.
