The comprehensive plan offers a vision of what the city Act". Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (F.S.), is part of the state's growth aspires to be in the future, a roadmap to guide decisions to achieve management laws that govern comprehensive plans, requiring the vision, and a measuring stick to evaluate progress.

A comprehensive plan steps away from fine-grained details and overly specific issues and serves as a guiding document for city leaders and residents. Additionally, it should be recognized that the city is not the only agent influencing change within the community and region; its efforts and powers alone are not sufficient to achieve a comprehensive plan's vision. A collaborative effort will be required between the city, its neighboring and overlapping jurisdictions, community partners, and its residents to advance a comprehensive plan's goals. Clearwater 2045 is the city's new Comprehensive Plan (Plan). This Plan will aid City Council in their decision making and support city staff in their efforts to development projects, programs, and code amendments to guide the city through the next 20 years. 6 CLEARWATER 2045 s t Oil Planning Themes Clearwater 2045 is broken down into six chapters: Quality Places; Sustainability, resiliency, equity, and collaborative planning are cross- cutting principles that appear in each of the Plan's six chapters.

The requirements found feedback received during community engagement. Building on these within Chapter 163, F.S. are included in these chapters as shown in the principles, overarching planning themes were created that guided the table below. development of the goals, objectives, and policies presented in the Plan.

The Florida Department of Commerce (DOC) requires comprehensive plans to be reviewed every seven years through a formal process to determine whether plan amendments are required to address changes in state requirements. The city completed its Evaluation and Appraisal Review in late 2022 and determined that as of that time no amendments were needed to reflect changes in state requirements. Clearwater 2045 does address changes that were effective in 2023 as well as changes in local conditions. o A tourism hotspot located on the Gulf Coast of Florida just to the '�s t west of Tampa and St. Petersburg, Clearwater is home to one of the ; country's best beaches.

Nolen's 1926 plan E. ' was a Comprehensive City Plan that included a street thoroughfare _, system, locations of schools, playgrounds and parks, a civic center and Downtown business district as well as industrial areas north and south , of Downtown. Many of olen's concepts remain valid today, most $ , importantly, the recognition of the waterfront as the city's premier natural asset, the significance of Downtown as the center of the city, and a multi-faceted park system to serve all citizens. Early Economy The land boom quickly halted in 1926, followed by the stock market 5 , t crash of 1929, and the onset of the Great Depression. During World . �� �' ;, '' �� Ew War II, Clearwater became a major training base for US troops destined for Europe and the Pacific. After the war, many of the soldiers who had trained here returned to live creating a built-in audience for professional baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies began holding spring training camp in Clearwater in the 1940s developing an important 't, ; economic and cultural relationship. Downtown remained a center for business, shopping, and celebrations such as the annual Fun 'n' Sun � �s Parade organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Growth & Development The city's growth and development patterns over its first century are typical to those in many cities. Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods typically have mixtures of uses, smaller lots, and a connected street grid. Homes in these areas, as well as portions of Clearwater Beach, were primarily built before the early 1960s and are typically smaller, slab on grade construction, and may need investment to incorporate modern building techniques to expand lifespans.

Indoor shopping malls constructed outside of Downtown in the 1960s and 1970s provided retail opportunities for both residents Clearwater Beach in newer neighborhoods such as Countryside as well as a regional Clearwater Beach has seen substantial growth over the years with population north and south along US 19. However, as in many other predominantly residential uses found in the northern portion and high cities in the country, it also contributed to a slow decline of Downtown intensity resort and tourist-oriented uses found along the main public as the city center. beach area.

Micrornobility is a broad term used Economic to describe transportation over short distances by lightweight, low-to-moderate speed, and usually less than single-person wheeled vehicles, including e-bikes, electric scooters, electric skateboards, and shared bicycle fleets. These modes are meant to help people commute over shorter distances without using single- occupancy vehicles and provide a "last mile" mobility alternative for transit users.
