SUMMARY: The Clearwater Beach Marina has been in existence since the 1950’s. The last significant renovations occurred in the late 1970’s and early 80’s. In 2005, the City pursued a replacement of the docks only at an estimated cost of $8 million dollars. That project was never initiated. In October 2021, due to the advanced age of all overwater structures and utilities, City Council authorized the engineering consulting firm Moffatt & Nichol to begin the design and permitting process to replace these components. At that time, the design team was provided the direction to incorporate a vision for a Marina Walk to integrate with Beach Walk and a requirement to solicit input from the iconic commercial fleet to accommodate their needs. The preliminary budget for this ambitious scope of work was $18.3 million dollars. The design team held meetings with commercial fleet representatives and presented the master plan to the Marine Advisory Board in March of 2022. Moffatt and Nichol gave a presentation on the design and the planning exercises to the city council work session on October 3, 2022. The engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost at the time of presentation was approximately $28 million dollars. City Council recommended the design be completed with an emphasis on quality of form and function including but not limited to a new seawall and a combination of fixed and floating docks. Council requested a follow-up presentation when the design approached completion. Subsequent to the design team’s presentation, staff will be requesting for council comments on the proposed marina design.

(consent) SUMMARY: July 20, 2023, City Council approved the use of Engineer of Record (EOR) for Professional Services Agreements (ID#23-0785) for Moffatt & Nichol and other engineering firms for a period of four years. These firms were selected in accordance with Florida Statutes 255.103 and 287.055 under Request for Qualifications 34-23 based upon construction experience, financial capability, availability of qualified staff, local knowledge, and involvement in the community. On September 28, 2022, during the passing of Hurricane Ian, the Clearwater Harbor Marina’s west and north facing wave attenuator on the south basin sustained severe damage beyond repair, based on a Failure Assessment and Recommendations Report (December 2022) by Engineer of Record Erickson Consulting Engineers. October 21, 2022, Marine and Aviation Director at the time signed a work order (20-0032-EN) in the amount of $14,145.00 for failure assessment and recommendations of the failed wave attenuators. January 2016, City Council approved Moffatt & Nichol as EOR for the Harbor Marina Comprehensive Boating Plan. October 2021, City Council approved Moffatt & Nichol as EOR for the Beach Marina Replacement following their successful EOR selection via RFQ 24-21, “Design Services - Clearwater Beach Marina Replacement.” August 2023, Pursuant to the State’s Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Public Works entered negotiations with Moffatt & Nichol based on past performance, projected workload, and willingness to meet time and budget requirements. Those negotiations led to the development of a Harbor Marina South Basin North Wave Attenuator Replacement Work Order for $302,106.00. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: A first quarter budget amendment will establish capital project C2409, South Basin Attenuator, and establish a budget of $302,106.00 to fund the design and permitting phase. Revenues to fund the project will be recognized from insurance reimbursements and FEMA, with any remaining balance to be funded from Clearwater Harbor Marina Fund reserves and/or General Fund reserves. STRATEGIC PRIORITY: The design and permitting necessary to repair the Clearwater Harbor Marina wave attenuator supports objective 1.2 by properly maintaining public infrastructure.

PROJECT INFORMATION: Project Title: Harbor Marina South Basin North Wave Attenuator Replacement City Project Number: 23-0030-MA City Plan Set Number: 2023016 Consultant Project Number: 230886 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES: This scope of services is for the Moffatt & Nichol Team to provide construction documents and environmental permit applications for the City of Clearwater (City) for the replacement of three (3) floating Wave Attenuator (WA) segments. The WA replacement will consist of WA units located at the northwest corner of the South Basin with associated marina utilities. Two units are 50 feet long by 12 feet wide and are aligned on an approximate west-northwest bearing. The third unit is 41 feet long by 12 feet wide and is aligned on an approximate north-northeast bearing. The existing marina floating docks and attenuators were manufactured by Shore Master (SM), a fabricator that is no longer in business. The SM design utilizes continuous post- tensioned cables to connect the individual float/attenuator units together. There are other manufactures that use a similar system; however, the alignments and configuration of those systems differ from SM. As such, the new wave attenuator units will require a unique one-of-kind connection to the existing floats and attenuators that are to remain. This mix of float/attenuator systems is untested and may result in unanticipated response to the wave environment. Given these circumstances, Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) will work with established concrete dock manufacturers in the industry to select and customize a system for this unique scenario; however, M&N cannot warrant or guarantee that the repaired system will perform in all weather conditions and may sustain damage during extreme wave climates. For this task, M&N will provide the City with the following services related to the replacement of the three corner WA units: environmental permit applications; coastal, structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering; bid and construction phase services. Construction documents will be developed for the full scope of the project. The design plans shall be compiled using the City of Clearwater CAD standards, as attached.

PRE-DESIGN PHASE: Task 1.1: Project Management and Meetings Project management and meetings will run concurrent with all phases of the project. M&N staff will attend meetings with the City and other stakeholders to gain an understanding of the project requirements, and to discuss design criteria ahead of performing any design. M&N will manage internal staff to complete the scope of work outlined in this proposal, and coordinate project requirements and updates with the City. Regular progress reports will be provided outlining progress and decisions made by the City and M&N. M&N Project Manager will prepare monthly invoices based on percent complete. Meetings will include the following: • Kick-Off Meeting and Stakeholder requirements and criteria meeting • Monthly Update meetings with City Staff (12 meetings) • 60% Design Review Meeting • 90% Design Review Meeting The design review meetings will focus on review comments received from the City reviewers and the M&N proposed resolution to those comments. Task 1.2: Data Review M&N Staff will review available information and data for the existing Harbor Marina and identify gaps, if any, where additional information will be required. The data to be reviewed includes but is not necessarily limited to existing topographic and bathymetric surveys, record drawings, inspection reports, geotechnical data, previous underwater inspection reports, shop drawings and construction records. Task 1.3: Site Investigation The site investigation will include topside inspection only. Underwater investigation is not included. A team of M&N Engineers to include structural, mechanical, and electrical will complete a one-day site investigation. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the existing conditions as they relate to the record information and data, determine tie-in points for mechanical and electrical utilities, and assess the interface between the floating docks/attenuators to remain and the new floating attenuators units. Task 1.4 Coastal Engineering The coastal engineering scope will be limited to estimating the maximum wave that may impact the wave attenuator based on the long fetch to the north and south using desktop analysis (hand calculations) for a 50-year storm. These desktop estimates are inherently conservative because the estimates do not ATTACHMENT “A” CONSULTANT WORK ORDER – PROJECT FEES TABLE Harbor Marina South Basin North Wave Attenuator Replacement Moffatt & Nichol [23-0030-MA] City of Clearwater Consultant Work Order – Project Fees Table Page 3 of 11 Revised: 11/28/2022 account for the complex bathymetric, topographic, and geometric conditions at the site. Because of the long fetch from the north and south, the wave conditions at this site may be extreme and it is understood that this repair/replacement project objective is to provide the best results possible given the exposed location of the project site. Extreme wave climate may exceed what is possible to mitigate with a floating wave attenuator system. Wave climate will be evaluated using the MIKE SW numerical model (by DHI). Winds of varying intensities from varying directions will be used to drive the wave simulation. The results will be used to identify operational wave conditions that are to be blocked by the wave attenuator as well as extreme wave conditions that will establish the structure survivability conditions. Wave model results will be incorporated in the basis of design document for the WA. II. DESIGN PHASE (if applicable): Task 2.1: Design Phase 2.1.1: 60% Design This task is for the preparation of 60% Design contract documents to include: • Prepare Design Criteria Memorandum that outline assumptions and design criteria used during design of the wave attenuator repairs • Prepare list of technical and performance specifications for primary project components • Analyze mechanical and electrical utility system and prepare design repairs/replacement system. • Prepare 60% construction drawings for City review and comment based on existing dock record drawings.

Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 1 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx CLEARWATER HARBOUR MARINA HURRICANE IAN HURRICANE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT HARBOUR MARINA WAVE ATTENUATORS PREPARED BY: Erickson Consulting Engineers, a Grāef Company Summary of Findings Hurricane Ian impacted the Harbour Marina on September 28-29th after making landfall at Casa Costs Florida as a category 4 storm with intense 155 mph winds and storm surge. This storm caused strong winds, waves and currents south resulting in cracks to the concrete and impacts to pile guide attachments and water intrusion observed at 4 attenuators. Prior to the hurricane, the northwest corner of the south side of the Clearwater Harbour Marina was surveyed in 2021 and exhibited minor surface fractures topside with no evidence of significant cracks and spalling to compromise the structural integrity of these 4 attenuator units caused primarily by boat wakes and wind “chop” (typically 1-2 ft waves). These observations are based on the underwater surveys and the concrete surface conditions in 2021 and prior to the impacts of the 2022 hurricane season. Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 2 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx Hurricane Ian, which tracked north through the State of Florida after landfalling a hundred plus miles to the south, resulted in northwest to southwest winds with site specific exposure to waves and sea conditions that led to heavy stresses and slamming type impacts between these 4 units, that resulted in fractures with fatigue cracks and failure of the 3 of the 4 attenuators in the north west corner. Listing due to water penetration at 3 primary points where concrete cracks extend 6-9 inches horizontally and up to 18+ inches vertically was observed. Plan sheets and photographs of the damages, and listing with major crack locations are included in Attachment A. 1 Attenuator Surveys and Site Reconnaissance After the passing of Hurricane Ian, the City of Clearwater contacted ECE to perform a survey and evaluation at the northwest corner of the south attenuators and diver surveys to identify if damage occurred to the lower surface of these attenuators in the south basin wave attenuator system. Erickson Consulting Engineers (ECE) and Dive Tech International conducted an underwater inspection on 10/28/22 to determine if there was evidence of damage to the attenuators based on subsurface conditions. A senior engineer took measurements of cracks and damage above the water line for the 3 of 4 attenuators showing listing and large cracks and coordinated with the diver during the inspections. Following the October 2022 surveys, a second inspection and reconnaissance was performed by ECE’s senior principal engineer and Engineer of Record (November 2022) to evaluate the modes of failure, and risk to future full failure and to perform an overall assessment of the condition of the south basin wave attenuators. Four wave attenuators, A-WA-13, 14, 15, and 16, were inspected by divers and engineers topside and below the water line to identify locations of damage caused by Hurricane Ian to these attenuators. The naming convention of the wave attenuators and docks is shown below in Figure 1. As noted in previous reports, overall the wave attenuator system has exhibited impacts and failure of the southernmost pile guides at wave attenuators A-WA-1 through A-WA-4 that are close and nearly identical to those found on A-WA-15, a failure that continues this form/state of progressive chronic short-term failure. Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 3 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx Figure 1. Northeast Corner of South Marina Basin Wave Attenuator Numbering Similar to what was found on A-WA-1, A-WA-15 and WA-14 are listing, as shown below in Figure 2, indicating that the buoyancy is compromised due to water penetration. The pile guides at A-WA-14 and 15 also show evidence similar to that previously found at A-WA-2 before the complete failure of those pile guides. During a significant wave event, one or more of the docks or wave attenuators are may separate and severely damage assets and infrastructure within the marina. Also, the utilities conduit running alongside A-WA-14 is failing and has previously detached from the munsen ring. If the conduit fails, significant disruption to services to the marina could occur, as well as risk to life and property during the failure event from electrical arcing/shock. Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 4 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx Figure 2. A-WA-15 and 16, with View of Damage and List on A-WA-15 (circled in red). From an underwater inspection of A-WA-13 to A-WA-16, spalling was found along the bottom of the units indicating minor-moderate damage to the attenuators consistent with an aging concrete wave attenuator system and not indicative as occurring from impact damage. While not at risk of immediate failure, these attenuators will require replacement within the next 2-5 Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 5 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx years. It is likely that A-WA-4 to A-WA-12 and E-WA-4 to E-WA-16 have experienced similar spalling below the waterline. 2 Damage to Attenuators, Moorings, and Docks Evidence of wear and fracture including cracked concrete and rusting bolts attaching pile guides and at finger dock connections have been documented and require repair and replacement over the next year. Surface and small cracks in the concrete are seen both above and below the waterline, and significant biofouling is observed for all infrastructure below the waterline obscuring the conditions of the concrete attenuators. Overall there is not significant cracks in the concrete underwater and similar impact damage to the four wave attenuators inspected by the dive team. Specifically of note was the thick biofouling present along the underwater surfaces of the wave attenuators which did not show any indications of impact damage. Small spalling typical of what has been observed previously was documented in what appears to be a continuation of the existing slow failure modes. There is continued cracking at the base attenuators to the two pile guides and wave attenuator interfaces attached to A-WA-15. The corner pile guide at the interface between A-WA-14 and 15 continues to exhibit failure of the concrete, as seen below, where the depth of the crack exceeds 12 inches. 2021 2022 Figure 3. Corner cracking at interface of A-WA-14 and A-WA-15 Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 6 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx Figure 4. Severe Concrete Crack and Failure at Interface of A-WA-14 & A-WA-15 Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 7 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx The second pile guide identified as failing at the northwest corner of this system and attach to A- WA-16 is shown below. The pile appears to exhibit a slight lean to the north as shown below in Figure 5, noted by the variation in vertical from the pile and the skyscraper in the background. Pile guides have been replaced at the opposite-south end of the south system. Due to the chronic fatigue and induced loads along the major alignment, shifting of the wave loads to the remaining wave attenuator pile guides may have occurred during the storm concentrating the stress of the system onto the wave attenuator system’s northern pile guides. Figure 5. Pile Guide out of Alignment on A-WA-15. The A-WA-16 pile guide, shown below in Figure 6, exhibits damage consistent with overall concentration of failure on the pile guides and significant crack/failure of the concrete. As the interface that transmits all loads between the floating and fixed structures of this dock and wave attenuator system, these guides and piles should be made more robust in the future either by more of the same size piles and guides or larger piles and guides. As this failure condition will continue to A-WA-15 in the future, the combination of a severe list and deflection of the existing piles will worsen. This attenuator will remain in an extremely vulnerable if a storm occurs and Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 8 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx And replacement is required with repair no longer not a sustainable 5 year solution or project horizon. Figure 6. Cracking at the Attenuator and Interface of pile guide on western end of A-WA-15 3 Summary of Damage and Emergency Actions Wave attenuator A-WA-15 is experiencing 3 mechanisms of failure – the pile guide is failing, a pile is out of alignment, and the attenuator has a significant crack of the concrete at the attachment interface of the pile guide. Further observations by ECE’s senior principal engineer and the City of Clearwater show the attenuator’s buoyancy has been compromised resulting in a significant list. Because the buoyancy has been compromised, this attenuator cannot be salvaged to maintain the required performance in terms of protecting the landward marina and associated infrastructure. Post tensioned cables securing the wave attenuators A-WA-3 through A-WA-14 terminate at these two wave attenuators A-WA-3 and 14, additionally A-WA-14 through A-WA-16 are also Clearwater Harbor Marina Wave Attenuators Page 9 Hurricane Impact Assessment & Recommendations C:\ECE Projects\Clearwater\Hurricane Damage Assessment_2023.01.16.docx secured each end using post tensioned cables. As a result, A-WA-14 is a critical wave attenuator as it secures the northwest corner of the south basin wave attenuator system. For this reason, work to accelerate replacement of the damaged attenuators with new improved center pile anchored attenuators to replace those that are damaged. As noted in previous reports, replacement of pile guides and addition of piles have been assessed as an option. Experts do not recommend retrofitting old systems with new pile guides because, while it may provide a short-term solution, the additional bolts and the drilling into the attenuator to allow for additional piles compromises the buoyancy of the attenuator. Further, additional bolts or replacement pile guides have not been shown to provide an efficient solution for refurbishment or rehabilitation of a marina, additional piles to secure the dock system are not likely to be viable solutions for the short or mid/interim term. Additional piles and replacement pile guides could be considered for a short term “sacrificial” solution to buy time but are not recommended as a permanent solution due to the high costs. All fasteners used moving forward shall be no less than 306 stainless, preferably 316 stainless, to reduce corrosion and working life of fasteners in the marine environment. We recommend that the process to replace, at a minimum, the wave attenuators exhibiting failure be initiated immediately, A-WA-14, 15, and 16. Further, the pile guide fastening at A-WA- 15 and 16 should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent additional failures. 4 Next Steps and Action Items To advance the emergency attenuator replacement project, the following action items are required. 1. Initiate approval for emergency replacement attenuators. 2. Develop plans and initiate permitting for improved attenuator system design with robust piles and pile guides replacement and integration into the existing system. 3. Install new wave attenuators, piles, and pile guides.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ID#23-1420 Agenda Date: 11/13/2023 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Economic Development & Housing Agenda Number: 3.1 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Substantial Amendment to City of Clearwater’s Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan, which includes the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, and authorize the City to modify existing agreements and enter into new agreements with organizations approved for funding. (APH) SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided a one-time allocation of $1,637,567 in HOME-ARP (America Rescue Plan) funding to the City of Clearwater. HUD requires HOME-ARP funding to be used to assist Qualifying Populations defined as populations experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness and others requiring supportive services or assistance for homelessness prevention. A Substantial Amendment is required to reprogram funds in excess of 25% of the HOME-ARP allocation. In June 2022, the first Substantial Amendment (SA-1) was approved by Council to add HOME-ARP funding to the City’s FY 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan by inclusion of the required HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. Previously, the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan allocated funding to Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA), Development of Affordable Rental Housing, and Administration and Planning by means of multiple specific project categories. This second Substantial Amendment (SA-2) is to allocate HOME-ARP funding to a new Supportive Services project category and to reprogram funding across several new and existing consolidated project categories. SA-2 also eliminates multiple project specific categories and consolidates the HOME-ARP funding into four broader project categories: Supportive Services, Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA), Affordable Rental Housing, and Administration/Planning. SA-2 amendments to the FY 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan are summarized as follows: 1.Supportive Services - Add new project category and allocate $691,938; 2.Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) - Add new project category and allocate $200,000; 3.Affordable Rental Housing - Add new project category and allocate $500,000; 4.Administration/Planning - Retain existing project category and increase from $139,137 to $245,629 (+$106,492) which is equivalent to approximately 15% of the HOME-ARP allocation; 5.Blue Sky Communities/Blue Dolphin Housing Project - Eliminate specific project name and corresponding Development of Affordable Rental Housing category funding from the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and FY 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and reprogram funding to new project names by category (- $875,000); and 6.Pinellas Opportunity Council, Homeless Empowerment Program, Homeless Leadership Alliance, Hope Villages of America, and St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center - Eliminate specific project names and corresponding Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) category funding from the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan and FY 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and reprogram funding to new project names by category (-$623,430). Deadline for expenditure of HOME-ARP funds is September 30, 2030.

Executive Summary AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Clearwater, Florida, has completed the planning process for the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of the Annual Action Plan is to identify anticipated resources and proposed projects to address the goals, objectives, and strategies of the City’s Consolidated Plan spanning program years 2020/2021- 2024/2025. The Consolidated Plan guides the use of City resources to address housing and community development needs over a five-year period. The 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan covers the second year of the five-year period. The Annual Action Plan is developed in a manner specified by HUD, and the City has followed the prescribed format in completing the plan. During the planning process, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and conducted a subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting) that specifically consulted housing and public service providers. The City also convened meetings of the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) and Technical Review Committee to consider federal allocations and project applications and held public hearings with the NAHAB and City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan. The purpose of this process was to facilitate the submittal of applications for projects that will address the goals, objectives, and strategies during the second year of the Consolidated Plan’s five-year period. There are four (4) major areas of focus in the Consolidated Plan: Housing, Homelessness, Non-Housing Community Development and Non-Homeless Special Needs. The Annual Action Plan process requires the City to identify anticipated resources and proposed projects to address the priority needs for each area of focus. The planning process was critical in selecting projects to effectively address these priority needs. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. Annual Action Plan 2021 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The City of Clearwater Consolidated Plan is structured around seven (7) goals in administering the City’s housing and community development programs.

Evaluation of past performance This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects. The Economic Development and Housing Department oversees implementation of the CDBG and HOME programs. The previous Annual Action Plan covered the first year of the City’s Consolidated Plan. The previous year has shown significant progress in the City’s efforts to implement HUD entitlement programs. The City is compliant with HUD regulations and continues to deliver housing and community development services in an efficient manner. Over the previous year, the City received an annual allocation of $837,233 (with HUD Corrected Notice) in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $431,344 (with HUD Corrected Notice) in HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME). With those funds, approximately 11,000 people, 6,000 households, and 56 businesses are estimated to be assisted during program year 2020/2021. With these funds, the Economic Development and Housing Department offered an array of housing programs and services providing the foundation needed to aid in promoting homeownership and/or sustainable neighborhoods: • Homeowner rehabilitation, including emergency repairs and accessibility retrofitting for persons with disabilities • Down payment and closing cost assistance for homebuyers • Acquisition/new construction for affordable housing • Fair housing activities • Funding to grant subrecipients for public services, including activities that serve the homeless, persons with special needs, or persons of low and moderate income Annual Action Plan 2021 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) • Funding for public facilities and infrastructure projects benefitting low- and moderate-income neighborhoods • Economic development activities The City has been successful in implementing these programs in the past and anticipates the continuation of such programs in the future. Over the next year, the City will use CDBG and HOME funds to meet the goals and objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan. Comments and concerns raised during the citizen participation process were taken into consideration when developing the Annual Action Plan's anticipated resources and proposed projects. The Annual Action Plan is a collaborative process that involves a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), subrecipient applications, City staff and advisory board consideration of federal allocations and proposed projects, and identification of strategies for improved coordination and delivery. As part of this process, the City sought to identify projects and strategies to address the priority needs of the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan. Such priority needs were identified during the Consolidated Plan process based on past program performance, available housing and demographic data, public input, housing and service provider consultation, and community meetings and surveys. In addition, the City provided opportunity for citizen participation and comment, including public notices, a 30-day comment period, and solicited input and direction from City Departments, the NAHAB, and the City Council to establish action items for the second year. The 2021-2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan was substantially amended on June 2, 2022, to reprogram $255,939 in Federal FY 2021 CDBG funds to existing and new CDBG projects, and to allocate $1,637,567 in Federal HOME-ARP funds by attachment of the required HOME-ARP Allocation Plan for new HOME-ARP projects. The substantial amendment was advertised in the Tampa Bay Times and published on the City’s website beginning on May 4, 2022, for a period of 30 days ending on June 2, 2022. The 2021-2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan is proposed to be substantially amended on November 16, 2023, to add Supportive Services as a proposed activity under the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, and to reprogram funding accordingly. The substantial amendment was previously advertised in the Tampa Bay Times on September 6, 2023, and published on the City’s website beginning on September 10, 2023, for a period of 30 days ending on October 10, 2023. The substantial amendment was advertised again on November 1, 2023, to include updated public hearing dates. 5. Summary of public comments Annual Action Plan 2021 6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) This could be a brief narrative summary or reference an attached document from the Citizen Participation section of the Con Plan. Although there are many issues that are important to City of Clearwater residents, the following priority needs were identified in the Consolidated Plan and guided the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan and projects selected: • Affordable housing, housing rehabilitation, and alternative housing options • Rental, down payment, and utilities assistance • Housing, facilities, and services for the homeless • Facilities and services for persons with special needs, including behavioral/mental health counseling and/or substance abuse treatment • Services for populations that fall into “service gaps” such as youth aging out of foster care and the transportation disadvantaged • Public facility improvements (e.g., parks, libraries, and community cultural/resource centers) • Public infrastructure improvements (e.g., utilities, public safety, and transportation) • Blight elimination/code enforcement • Economic development (e.g., support for neighborhood-level commercial, incentives and financial assistance for small businesses and start-ups, façade improvements) 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments received by the City of Clearwater were considered and are, generally or specifically, addressed by the Annual Action Plan. Documentation of all comments received is included as an attachment (PDF format) to the Consolidated Plan submittal. 7.

Agency Role Name Department/Agency CDBG Administrator CLEARWATER Economic Development and Housing Department HOME Administrator CLEARWATER Economic Development and Housing Department Table 1 – Responsible Agencies Narrative (optional) The City of Clearwater, Florida, is the lead agency responsible for overseeing the development of the Annual Action Plan. The Economic Development and Housing Department is the internal department that is responsible for the day-to-day administration of CDBG and HOME funding (see Table 1). However, the Economic Development and Housing Department worked closely with both the City Council and the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) in addition to residents and sub-recipients to develop a meaningful document. The development of the Annual Action Plan was based on the previous Annual Action Plan, associated Consolidated Plan, and other relevant studies, plans and reports. Some of the primary documents included the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area documents, Local Housing Incentives Strategy and Local Housing Assistance Plan, and Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance’s reporting documents, among others. To maximize citizen participation, City staff published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), held a grant application workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting), convened the NAHAB and Technical Review Committee to consider anticipated resources and proposed projects, held a 30- day public comment period, and held a public hearing with the City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan. As part of these efforts, low- and moderate-income residents, as well as service providers, were encouraged to provide input on the Annual Action Plan, anticipated resources, and proposed projects.

Introduction Partnering with other local, public, and private entities is vital to addressing the identified priority needs related to affordable housing, homelessness, special needs, and community development. Clearwater's Citizen Participation Plan incorporates the goals, policies, and implementation strategies that the City will undertake to encourage and ensure adequate citizen participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, any substantial amendments to the Plans, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Citizen participation provides a means of involving the citizens of Clearwater in an advisory capacity in all phases of HUD programs. Citizen participation in such efforts is essential if the activities to be undertaken are to be truly successful and responsive to the needs and concerns of the community. The Citizen Participation Plan provides for and encourages residents to explain their needs and voice their concerns. Emphasis is placed on persons of low- and moderate-income who are residents of low- and moderate-income areas in which funds are proposed to be used. However, at the same time, residents are reminded that their input is advisory and that final authority for decision-making rests with the City Council, who is responsible to both the citizens of Clearwater and the Federal government. To promote citizen participation, the City published a notice of funding availability (NOFA), held a subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., Technical Assistance Meeting), convened the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) and Technical Review Committee to consider anticipated resources and proposed projects, published the draft Annual Action Plan for a 30- day public comment period, and held public hearings with the NAHAB and City Council to approve the Annual Action Plan. The NOFA, subrecipient grant application workshop, and 30-day public comment period provided opportunities for citizens and interested parties to become knowledgeable about Clearwater’s housing and community development programs and eligibility requirements. Participants were asked to provide input on how funds should be allocated to programs and projects related to affordable housing, homelessness, special needs, and community development.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) Institutional coordination of the Annual Action Plan establishes a unified vision for community development. The City uses a collaborative process to shape various programs into effective, Annual Action Plan 2021 11 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) coordinated strategies. This process also facilitates the opportunity for planning and citizen participation to take place in a comprehensive context, attempting to reduce duplication of effort at the local level. The City will implement this Annual Action Plan in coordination with public, private, and nonprofit agencies. Nonprofit agencies may include, but are not limited to, service providers and community housing development organizations. Private sector partners may include, but are not limited to, local financial institutions, developers, and local businesses. The City works closely with its partners to design programs that address identified needs. Table 2 outlines the types of agencies and organizations consulted throughout the program year and during the development of the Annual Action Plan. Organizations consulted included various service providers, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), Clearwater Housing Authority, Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance, City Departments, NAHAB, and the City Council, among others. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The City coordinated with the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance during development of the Consolidated Plan and through its most recent PIT and Homeless Assessment reports and with residents through community meetings. This consultation was pivotal in preparing the Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan components of the Consolidated Plan, which collectively inform the selection of projects for the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan. The Clearwater Housing Authority was also consulted during the development of the Consolidated Plan through its most recent Public Housing Authority Plan and other HUD reports, which also inform the selection of projects for inclusion in the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Clearwater does not receive or administer an Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). During the development of the Consolidated Plan, consultation with the Continuum of Care (CoC) included research of the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA) annual reports and plans, community meetings, public hearings, and notices. The Consolidated Plan establishes goals, objectives, and strategies to address homelessness, which inform the selection of projects for inclusion in the Annual Action Plan. Annual Action Plan 2021 12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The HLA, as the lead agency for the area’s CoC, utilizes the following system performance measures and procedural documents: HUD System Performance Measures, HUD CoC Project Priority Application Ranking System, NAEH Rapid Rehousing Performance Benchmarks and Program Standards, Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data, Annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count Report, Housing Inventory Count, and other documents including the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. The HLA is comprised of 24 members, two executive officers, and 17 staff persons. The Board consists of two councils, the Providers Council and Funders Council, that work together to identify concerns and make policies and recommendations on homeless issues. The mission of the HLA is to coordinate all community partners, systems, and resources available with the goal of helping individuals and families to prevent, divert, and end homelessness in Pinellas County. 2.

Additionally, during the development of the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the citizens, including but not limited to low- and moderate-income residents and other entities impacted by housing and community development activities, were noticed of funding availability, a subrecipient grant application Annual Action Plan 2021 27 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting), posting of the draft Annual Action Plan for a 30-day comment period, and meetings and public hearings of the NAHAB and City Council. Such noticing occurred by email, City website, and newspaper advertisements. Other agencies and organizations not directly consulted were consulted indirectly by research of published plans and reports.

The City actively works with subrecipients to support the City’s goals of affordable housing, reduced homelessness, accessible social services, enhanced living environment, and economic opportunity for low- and moderate- Annual Action Plan 2021 28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) income persons. At a minimum, implicit in these goals is the City’s commitment to providing coordinated community, housing, and supportive services to its lower income residents. These services are provided through not only City-administered CDBG and HOME programs, but also through subrecipient partnerships, coordination with government and quasi-government agencies, and respective planning efforts (see Table 3). The City will continue to encourage partnerships between governments, lenders, builders, developers, real estate professionals, and advocates for low-income persons. The City will continue to work with the building industry, banking industry, real estate industry, social service providers and other community groups to promote the development of affordable housing and related housing services. Annual Action Plan 2021 29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-12 Participation – 91.105, 91.200(c) 1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting The development of the Annual Action Plan requires a citizen participation process to obtain input from residents and service providers that represent the City of Clearwater’s low- and moderate-income, homeless, or special needs populations. The following section describes the citizen participation process conducted by the City to develop the 2021/2022 Action Plan. During the development of the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the City published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and held a subrecipient grant application workshop (i.e., technical assistance meeting) to collect applications for potential projects. The City of Clearwater’s Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) then convened to discuss the anticipated resources and applications for potential projects. Applicants were provided an opportunity to present their projects to the NAHAB for consideration. A Technical Review Committee also met to discuss project eligibility specific to the City’s federally funded programs. Once potential projects were recommended by the Technical Review Committee and selected by the NAHAB, the draft Annual Action Plan was posted for a 30-day comment period. At the conclusion of the 30-day comment period, public hearings were held with the NAHAB and City Council to approve the 2021/2022 Action Plan for submittal to HUD. Noticing of these events occurred by email, City website, and newspaper advertisements. Notices for public meetings/hearings included information for persons needing reasonable accommodations to participate. A summary of the citizen participation process is shown in Table 4. Copies of advertisements, meeting minutes, and other documentation are included in the Appendix. Comments and concerns raised during the citizen participation process were taken into consideration when developing the Annual Action Plan. The 2021/2022 Action Plan is intended to support the goals, objectives, and strategies of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, and to address the priority needs of the community. Applications for potential projects to be funded were considered by the NAHAB and Technical Review Committee, and were selected based on available funding, eligibility of proposed activities, and relevance to the Consolidated Plan. The selected projects support the City’s goals pertaining to housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, community development and public services, and economic development. Program administration activities, though not part of the application process, are also included in the 2021/2022 Action Plan. No activities pertaining to emergency/disaster response are included in the second-year Action Plan. Annual Action Plan 2021 30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The 2021-2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan was substantially amended on June 2, 2022, to reprogram $255,939 in Federal FY 2021 CDBG funds to existing and new CDBG projects, and to allocate $1,637,567 in Federal HOME-ARP funds by attachment of the required HOME- ARP Allocation Plan for new HOME-ARP projects. The substantial amendment was advertised in the Tampa Bay Times and published on the City’s website beginning on May 4, 2022, for a period of 30 days ending on June 2, 2022. The 2021-2022 (Federal FY 2021) Annual Action Plan is proposed to be substantially amended on November 16, 2023, to add Supportive Services as a proposed activity under the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, and to reprogram funding accordingly.

These resources are summarized in AP-15 (Table 5). The City of Clearwater expects a total entitlement allocation of $922,626 in CDBG funding for the 2021/2022 program year. Program income for CDBG is expected to be approximately $99,100 (including $71,600 from the revolving loan program and $27,500 from other income). Approximately $1,723,692 is expected from prior-year resources to be carried over (including $587,783 from NSP3 conversion to CDBG in 2020). CDBG funds will be used for housing and community development activities including, but not limited to, housing rehabilitation, homebuyer education, public facilities and services, homeless and special needs activities, economic development, and administration of the City’s CDBG program. The City of Clearwater expects a total entitlement allocation of $452,259 in HOME funding for the 2021/2022 program year. Program income from HOME is expected to be approximately $150,000, with approximately $3,358,202 in prior-year resources to be carried-over. HOME funds will be used for housing activities such as housing acquisition or rehabilitation, new construction, down payment assistance, CHDO support, and administration of the City’s HOME program. The 2021/2022 Action Plan represents “Year 2” of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The expected amount available during the remainder of the Consolidated Plan is based on the Consolidated Plan’s estimated amount remaining for the four-year period (i.e., 2021-2024) minus the expected entitlement allocation and program income for Year 2 (2021/2022). The Annual Action Plan must summarize the City of Clearwater’s priority needs and the specific goals it intends to initiate and/or complete within Year 2 of the Consolidated Plan. These goals must be described in quantitative terms. The City has selected goal outcome indicators and quantities based on the anticipated performance measured of the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan. See AP-20 (Table 6). *HUD 2021 Formula Allocation Annual Action Plan 2021 39 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Notes: Program income amounts are estimated amounts and actual amounts may differ if larger sums are received from loan payoffs.

The City also maintains an “Affordable Housing Inventory List” that is updated periodically by City resolution. As of the most recent iteration, Resolution No. 19-10, there are 19 properties on this list. These properties are vacant and located on the following streets: Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave., La Salle St. (2), Monroe Ave., Palm Bluff St., Nicholson St., Tafft Ave., N. Garden Dr., N. Madison Ave., S. Washington Ave., Grant St. (3), Marshall St., Vine Ave., Pierce St. (2), Pennsylvania Ave., N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. As part of the City’s reporting for the SHIP program, the City’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) regularly reviews this list for opportunities to support affordable housing production in coordination with local developers and other housing partners/agencies. The 19 properties on the list represent twelve development opportunities. Six sites have been donated for development of affordable housing and four sites are currently included in plans for development of affordable housing. Discussion The City Clearwater’s anticipated funding allocation from CDBG and HOME will address many of the City’s goals, including those pertaining to housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, community development and public services, and economic development. Program administration activities, though not part of the application process, will also be funded. No activities pertaining to emergency/disaster response are included in the second-year Action Plan; however, this goal is reserved for future unforeseen needs should they arise. The City is fortunate to have a network of public service providers and partner agencies to help address these goals through financial leveraging with non-federal sources such as SHIP and other private, public, and federal sources.

The City will continue to operate its CDBG and HOME programs through the Economic Development and Housing Department, which will continue to provide funding for housing rehabilitation, housing construction, and homeownership assistance. These actions will further the goal of improving the availability of and accessibility to affordable housing in Clearwater. As in the past, the City will continue to coordinate with housing and public service providers to address the needs of homeless and non-homeless special needs populations generally assumed to be low- and moderate-income. During the 2021/2022 program year, the City will fund activities that provide public services to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with mental health or substance abuse challenges, and youth and families of low- and moderate-income. Planned community development activities include improvements to public facilities that serve these populations and economic development activities that support business assistance and building façade improvements. The City’s planned actions for the 2021/2022 Action Plan are summarized in AP-35 and AP-38 (see Table 7).

No funding was allocated to emergency/disaster response; however, this goal is reserved for unforeseen urgent need activities. It is important to note that total funding for public services is capped at 15% of the total CDBG allocation. Total funding for activities related to administration is capped at 20% for CDBG and 10% for HOME.

Reduced revenues have hindered the City’s ability to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income, homeless, Annual Action Plan 2021 52 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) and special needs populations. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic further increased the needs of lower income residents. Combined, these events have generally increased the demand for public services, which places additional burden on public service agencies within the City. Although HUD previously waived public service and administration caps for some federally funded programs, these served as only temporary solutions to ongoing economic obstacles for lower income residents. In Clearwater, the lack of available land and rapidly rising housing prices will continue to be an obstacle to affordable housing. Rapidly rising housing prices will also increase the need for affordable rental units for households priced out of the owner market. Affordable rental development projects are needed to offset the large proportion of high-end apartment complexes in the City.

[Maps are included in the Appendix.] Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide Low- and Moderate-Income Areas 85 Lake Bellevue Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area 3 Downtown Gateway District Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area 5 North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area 7 Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Annual Action Plan 2021 86 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Four (4) areas have been designated as either Local Target Areas or Strategy Areas within the City of Clearwater. These are Citywide Low- and Moderate-Income Areas, North Greenwood Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area, Lake Bellevue Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area, and Downtown Gateway District Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. These neighborhoods were identified in previous Consolidated Plans and updated in the current 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The designation of Local Target Areas and Strategy Areas increases the potential for coordinated planning and investment. The areas selected for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan were confirmed through the citizen participation process, which included service provider and community meetings, as well as meetings with staff of the City’s Economic Development and Housing Department. Each of these areas meets the eligibility requirements for low- and moderate-income benefit. While Local Target Areas and Strategy Areas allow the City to plan and invest in a coordinated manner, they do not limit the City from expending funds in other areas of Clearwater that also meet the eligibility requirements for low- and moderate-income benefit. Discussion The City of Clearwater has identified 45 CDBG and HOME projects to implement the goals of the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan during the second year of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. These projects benefit low- and moderate-income persons Citywide and within the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas. Projects with Citywide benefit include activities related to housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs, community development and public services, and economic development that meet the needs of income-eligible persons or households. Program administration activities also provide indirect Citywide benefit. Additionally, the City has identified seven (7) four (4) HOME-ARP projects supported by the City’s HOME- ARP Allocation Plan. HOME-ARP projects will provide rental assistance and services to benefit Qualifying Populations (QPs) under the HOME-ARP program. HOME-ARP projects are associated with the goals of housing, homelessness, and non-homeless special needs consistent with the QPs and eligible activities under the HOME-ARP program. Annual Action Plan 2021 87 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g) Introduction The City of Clearwater places a high priority on providing housing assistance, such as homebuyer education/counseling and Fair Housing activities, to promote homeownership. Additionally, the City facilitates the construction of new affordable housing units to increase the supply of affordable housing and thereby address demand. These priority needs shall be addressed, in part, by local non-profit organizations and developers that construct affordable housing for lower-income, first-time homebuyers. The City will also continue to deliver its housing rehabilitation and down payment assistance programs to income-eligible households. The Annual Action Plan must specify goals for the number of homeless, non-homeless, and special needs households to be supported during the program year. These numbers are shown in the following tables and are inclusive of the affordable housing activities shown in AP-20, in addition to other planned housing activities identified in AP-35 and AP-38. Section AP-55 (see Table 9 and Table 10) indicates the number of households to be supported through specific activities, including rental assistance, production of new units, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units. For the purposes of this section, the term “affordable housing” is defined in the HOME regulations 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership. [This section replaces the former HUD Table 3B.] One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless 174 Special-Needs 0 Total 174 Table 9 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 0 The Production of New Units 125 Rehab of Existing Units 17 Acquisition of Existing Units 32 Total 174 Table 10 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion The City will continue to deliver its long-standing housing programs, including housing rehabilitation and Annual Action Plan 2021 88 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) down payment assistance, coordinate with non-profit organizations and developers that construct affordable housing, and support homebuyer education/counseling and Fair Housing activities. These housing activities will support 174 households through a combination of production of new units, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units through direct financial assistance to homebuyers. Additionally, the City will support 172 households through housing-related public services (e.g., homebuyer education/counseling). Annual Action Plan 2021 89 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h) Introduction This section of the Annual Action Plan describes what actions the City of Clearwater will take during the 2021/2022 program year to carry out the public housing strategy identified in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan. The Clearwater Housing Authority (CHA) administers housing assistance for lower income persons and households in the greater Clearwater area. The operations of the CHA are funded through annual appropriations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Assistance includes public housing, tenant-based vouchers (Housing Choice Vouchers or HCVs), and special purpose voucher activities. Combined, these activities supply approximately 1,653 publicly assisted housing units in the greater Clearwater area. [Source: HUD PIC, HA Profiles, accessed June 2021] Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The City of Clearwater works cooperatively with Pinellas County, the CHA, and private entities to provide public and subsidized housing within Clearwater. The CHA administers public housing for seniors and families in addition to the HCV program that provides financial rental assistance to income-eligible individuals and families. The CHA and other housing providers in the community continuously seek to rehabilitate the supply of housing affordable to lower-income residents. Although the CHA recently renovated some of its public housing units, the CHA is undergoing a voluntary conversion that started in 2020. During conversion, the CHA will ensure that residents are housed through vouchers and coordination with other housing providers. Any proceeds from the sale of public housing properties will be reinvested in affordable housing. The City will continue to coordinate housing referrals with the CHA, as well as the Pinellas County Housing Authority, in the delivery of the City’s CDBG and HOME housing programs. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The CHA has an ongoing management program in place to involve residents in its operations. Additionally, through the 2021/2022 Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will support homebuyer education/counseling, Fair Housing, and housing placement activities that could facilitate the transition from public housing to homeownership. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Clearwater Housing Authority is not designated as troubled. Discussion Annual Action Plan 2021 90 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Affordable housing needs are met by multiple service providers in the greater Clearwater area. The CHA currently administers public housing units and tenant-based vouchers (HCVs). Although the CHA is undergoing voluntary conversion of its public housing properties, the CHA will continue to administer vouchers and ensure that residents are housed in coordination with other housing providers. The City will continue to coordinate referrals with the CHA to connect lower income residents with housing options. Annual Action Plan 2021 91 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction This section of the Annual Action Plan describes what actions the City of Clearwater will take during the 2021/2022 program year to carry out the homeless strategy identified in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan. Additionally, this section describes any action related to the supportive housing needs of non-homeless special needs persons at risk of homelessness. The Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA), a nonprofit 501(c)(3), serves as the Continuum of Care (CoC) Lead Agency, Collaborative Applicant, and HMIS Lead Agency. The HLA provides supplemental services, coordination, and funding management to carry out the policy goals of the CoC. The mission of the HLA is to provide leadership in the planning, development, and alignment of community advocacy, resources, and strategies to prevent, divert, and end homelessness in Pinellas County. The HLA, as the lead agency for the CoC, is the organization most suited to addressing the needs of homeless persons in the greater Clearwater area. Consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan, the City of Clearwater will pursue the goal of helping to prevent and reduce homelessness in Clearwater. It is the City’s objective to support the activities of the HLA and other members of the region’s CoC that represents a countywide consortium of homeless service providers. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The HLA conducts an annual Point-in-Time homeless count and prepares a Homeless Assessment Report, both of which document the extent of homelessness in the community. Furthermore, the City received input on homeless needs during the Consolidated Plan public meetings and community survey. The priority needs of the homeless include facilities/services for homeless adults and families, facilities/services for homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care, case management, nutrition/food services, and employment assistance/job training toward self-sufficiency. Outreach to the homeless is done by the Continuum of Care’s Street Outreach Teams that cover major parts of Pinellas County five days per week. The Street Outreach Teams are the center of the CoC’s efforts to find and engage street homeless, in place, since late 2006. Each Street Outreach Team is composed of one law enforcement officer and one case manager. Additionally, Street Outreach Teams focus on finding unaccompanied youth. Relatedly, the Veterans Administration funds Veterans Outreach for that population. Annual Action Plan 2021 92 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) All the outreach personnel meet bi-monthly to discuss problems, identify increases/decreases in specific populations, problem-solve, and meet with providers of emergency mats and beds. Law enforcement staff members train their police departments on working with street homeless persons. Once a street homeless individual or family seeks assistance, they are encouraged to go to Safe Harbor, the County’s emergency homeless shelter and jail diversion program where they are assigned a case manager for assessment and referral to services, etc. Unaccompanied youth are referred to Family Resources and other youth programs to get them off the street. Street Outreach Teams also process individuals for entrance to Pinellas Hope, another homeless shelter operated by Catholic Charities. The HLA also partners with the Juvenile Welfare Board’s Children’s Services Council and 2-1-1 Tampa Bay Cares on the Family Services Initiative (FSI) that works with families in need. The goal of the FSI is to prevent homelessness while working on longer term issues and to have one place for families to make initial contact for help. FSI is publicized widely as the place for homeless and at-risk families to go for help. Homeless and at-risk families call 2-1-1 and are directed to specific triage staff for short assessment. For the second-year Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will support four (4) case management activities, through Kimberly Home, Hope Villages of America (Grace House), St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center, and WestCare Gulfcoast Florida, to assess the individual needs of homeless and special needs persons at risk of homelessness, including unsheltered persons. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As previously mentioned, the HLA annually conducts a Point-in-Time homeless count and prepares a Homeless Assessment Report, both of which document the extent of homelessness in the community. In addition to other metrics, these reports identify the number of individuals or families in emergency shelter or transitional housing. In the Clearwater area, homeless facilities such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are provided by churches and non-profit organizations, including but not limited to Homeless Emergency Project (Homeless Empowerment Program or H.E.P.), Kimberly Home, Boley Centers, Hope Villages of America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources (SafePlace2B), among others. Additionally, the HLA maintains an online map-based directory targeted to homeless persons that includes contact information for emergency shelter, food and clothing assistance, and transitional housing services. This directory also includes a map of Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) bus routes. The City makes it a goal of the Consolidated Plan to prevent and reduce homelessness in Clearwater by supporting programs that offer shelter facilities and beds for the homeless, and by assisting agencies that engage in homeless prevention and service programs. For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support one (1) transitional shelter activity by improving the Kimberly Home facility that serves homeless pregnant women. Annual Action Plan 2021 93 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The City will support, in coordination with the HLA, activities to end chronic homelessness in Clearwater. CoC member agencies actively work to assist homeless individuals and families with making the transition to more permanent housing and preventing such persons from becoming homeless again. CoC member agencies support a “Housing First” approach to provide housing options regardless of whether individuals or families meet otherwise common prerequisites for housing. National resource around “Housing First” suggests that individuals and/or head-of-household members who have been homeless are more successful in achieving self-sufficiency when housing stability is acquired first, regardless of whether they are sober or financially self-sufficient in the beginning. Once their housing situation is stabilized, their ability to achieve sobriety, financial stability, or overcome other common barriers to housing dramatically improves. This is typically achieved by rapid-rehousing and other interim housing strategies such as targeted transitional or permanent supportive housing to obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency, and stay housed. For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support one (1) permanent supportive housing activity, through H.E.P., by improving a H.E.P. facility that provides housing to homeless persons with disabilities, including Veterans. Additionally, the City will continue to support an array of activities that, when combined, may shorten the duration of homelessness, help persons transition to more stable housing, and/or provide access to affordable housing. Such activities may include case management, emergency shelter and transitional housing, behavioral and mental health services, supportive services for the elderly, facilities for the disabled, referrals to appropriate housing providers, affordable housing unit construction or rehabilitation, homebuyer education, down payment assistance, and access to economic opportunities. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. For the second-year Action Plan, the City of Clearwater will continue to coordinate referrals for facilities and services available in the community that support lower-income individuals. In addition to Annual Action Plan 2021 94 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) programmed case management activities through Kimberly Home, Hope Villages of America (Grace House), and WestCare Gulfcoast Florida, the City will support case management and facility improvements at the St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center, which is also used by the Pinellas Ex-Offender Re-Entry Coalition (PERC). The Community Kitchen and Resource Center provides not only case management, but referrals to other resources and programs depending on client needs. Such programs include PERC’s STARS and MOVE UP programs, which provide job training and skills toward self-sufficiency. The City will also continue to work with housing and homeless service providers to implement a cohesive, communitywide discharge coordination policy. Such policy must be successfully implemented to ensure that persons being released from publicly funded institutions do not become homeless upon release. Other examples of such efforts, in addition to PERC, include the Pinellas County Sheriff Department’s Operation PAR, which allows ex-offenders to receive substance abuse treatment, and the State’s “Transition from Prison to Community Initiative” (TPCI). Discussion For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support the following activities toward the goal of preventing and reducing homelessness: • Homeless Emergency Project (Homeless Empowerment Program or H.E.P.) – Funding to improve permanent supportive housing facility for homeless individuals with disabilities, including Veterans (32 persons assisted). • Hope Villages of America – Salary support for case management (100 persons assisted). • Kimberly Home – Salary support for case management at transitional housing facility (38 persons assisted). • St. Vincent de Paul – Funding to renovate/expand Community Kitchen and Resource Center (490 persons assisted) and salary support for case management (96 persons assisted). In total, these activities will assist an estimated 234 persons during the second-year Action Plan through case management to either prevent homelessness or reduce the duration of homelessness. Additionally, the City will support the rehabilitation of two (2) homeless facilities (H.E.P. Permanent Supportive Housing and St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen and Resource Center) that will serve 522 persons in total. For the second-year Action Plan, the City has programmed an array of homeless activities to address the need for case management and facilities and services for homeless adults and families. The City will continue to coordinate with the HLA and Continuum of Care, including numerous homeless service providers operating in the greater Clearwater area. Annual Action Plan 2021 95 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction: This section of the Annual Action Plan summarizes actions the City of Clearwater will undertake during the program year to reduce barriers to affordable housing and influence whether the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or improve affordable housing are affected by public policies, particularly those of the local jurisdiction. Such policies may include land use controls, zoning ordinances, building codes, and policies that affect the return on residential investment. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City of Clearwater has several strategies that it utilizes to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that are barriers to affordable housing. These strategies are documented in the City’s 2021 Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP), which is a reporting requirement of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The City’s ongoing actions to remove or ameliorate the barriers to affordable housing, as identified in the City’s LHAP and Local Housing Incentive Strategies (LHIS) documents, include the following: • Expedited review process for permitting • Modification of fees • Flexible densities • Infrastructure capacity • Accessory dwelling units • Parking reductions • Flexible lot configurations • Modification of street requirements • Pre-adoption policy consideration • Inventory of public lands • Proximity to transportation, employment, and mixed-use development • Adaptive reuse • Land development code • Communication and marketing of affordable housing • Financing • Partnerships These barriers to affordable housing are explained in more detail in the SP-55 section of the Consolidated Plan, as well as the source LHAP and LHIS documents on file at the City’s Economic Annual Action Plan 2021 96 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Development and Housing Department. Discussion: The City of Clearwater will continue to implement strategies to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that are barriers to affordable housing. These strategies are detailed in the City’s 2021 LHAP report. Of note, the City recently coordinated with Pinellas County to prepare a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice report, which was completed in 2020. The City also currently participates in the Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact and the Pinellas County Countywide Housing Strategy, which are joint programs for the provision of affordable housing. Annual Action Plan 2021 97 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction: This section of the Annual Action Plan describes the City of Clearwater’s planned actions to carry out the following strategies in the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan: • Foster and maintain affordable housing; • Evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards; • Reduce the number of poverty-level families; • Develop institutional structure; and • Enhance coordination. In addition, the City has identified obstacles to meeting underserved needs and proposed actions to overcome those obstacles. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The major obstacle to meeting underserved needs is the lack of financial resources among housing and public service providers that support the City of Clearwater’s institutional delivery structure. To address such obstacles, the City will administer CDBG funds to pursue the goal of enhancing the living environment for persons in low- and moderate-income areas through community development activities, public service programs, and the elimination of blight. Priority will be given to the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas, where need is greatest, when opportunities present. The City will also pursue the goal of expanding the accessibility and coordination of social services to the City’s special needs population. Some of the programmed activities to meet underserved needs during the second year include, but are not limited to, the following: • Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services – Facility improvements to support a Head Start program in the North Greenwood NRSA • Directions for Living – Facility improvements to support mental and behavioral health services • Pinellas County Ex-Offender Re-Entry Program – Facility improvements and case management to support an ex-offender re-entry program in the Downtown Gateway District NRSA • Clearwater MLK Jr. Neighborhood Center – Facility improvements to benefit low- and moderate- income residents of the North Greenwood NRSA • R’Club Early Learning Academy – Facility improvements at two Early Learning Academy locations in the North Greenwood NRSA and Downtown Gateway District NRSA • Pinellas Opportunity Council – Chore services program serving the elderly • InterCultural Advocacy Institute – Salary support for leadership program benefitting low- and Annual Action Plan 2021 98 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) moderate-income youth • Gulfcoast Legal Services – Salary support for legal services program benefitting low- and moderate-income persons • WestCare Gulfcoast Florida – Case management services for substance abuse treatment Additional activities to meet underserved needs are described previously with regard to homelessness (AP-65) and subsequently with regard to affordable housing and economic development (AP-85, as follows). Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s Strategic Plan, the City of Clearwater will pursue the goal of providing availability of, and access to, decent affordable housing for the residents of the City. To this end, the City has programmed 17 housing activities that meet the following objectives of the Strategic Plan: • Preserve the existing housing stock. • Increase the availability of affordable housing units. • Assist qualified low- and moderate-income households to become homeowners through supporting agencies that provide housing counseling. • Provide mortgage assistance for low- and moderate-income homebuyers. Programmed activities to foster and maintain affordable housing during the second year include the following: • Owner and renter housing rehabilitation program • Construction of new owner and renter occupied housing • Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) housing activities • Revolving Loan Program to offer loans for homeowners and non-profit agencies for eligible housing activities These activities preserve the existing housing stock through rehabilitation of aging units, increase the availability of affordable housing through new construction, and improve access to affordable housing through homebuyer education and down payment assistance for qualified low- and moderate-income households. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City will continue to include lead-based paint education and mitigation measures in all housing rehabilitation activities and, if needed, will identify and apply for additional funding resources to finance abatement. Contractors are required to be trained and certified to supervise removal of lead-based Annual Action Plan 2021 99 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) paint hazards to comply with HUD regulations. Furthermore, subrecipients of the City’s CDBG and HOME funding devise their own lead-based paint hazard programs to comply with HUD regulations for rehabilitation projects. Additionally, the City will continue to coordinate with agencies in the Clearwater area that screen residents for elevated blood levels (EBL) and inspect housing units for lead-based paint hazards. These agencies include the Pinellas County Health Department and the Clearwater and Pinellas County housing authorities, among others. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families According to the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates, 15.4% of people living in the City of Clearwater are below poverty level. To combat this trend, the City will continue to coordinate with various agencies that support poverty-level families. These agencies also provide services to other homeless and non-homeless special needs populations, as well as low- and moderate-income families. Such services include referrals to affordable housing, employment assistance/job training, and other activities to promote economic opportunity. Additionally, through the Economic Development and Housing Department, the City will promote economic opportunity by providing technical assistance to small businesses and job training programs. For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support such programs, including those offered by the Pinellas Ex-Offender Re-Entry Coalition (e.g., STARS and MOVE UP programs), Tampa Bay Black Business Investment Corp. (microenterprise assistance), and Hispanic Business Initiative Fund of Florida/Prospera (microenterprise assistance). The City will also support the InterCultural Advocacy Institute’s Youth Leadership Partnership Program. These programs provide advocacy and mentoring toward self- sufficiency and academic, employment, and business success. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City of Clearwater has a strong institutional delivery structure. The City will continue to work with its own departments and various housing and public service providers, as well as their programs, to expand opportunities and to make continuous improvements to the institutional delivery structure. Continued actions will include solicitation of feedback on referral processes and other means of coordination between such providers and the City of Clearwater. For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support an array of activities that strengthen the institutional delivery structure’s ability to serve persons of low- and moderate-income, persons with special needs, and the homeless. These activities include, but are not limited to, facilities and case management for homeless adults and families; mental and behavioral health services; public services for the elderly and youth; improvements to community buildings and resource centers; code enforcement/blight elimination; building façade improvements; economic opportunity and business assistance; housing legal services and referrals to appropriate housing providers; affordable housing unit Annual Action Plan 2021 100 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) construction or rehabilitation; homebuyer education; and down payment assistance. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City of Clearwater will continue to coordinate with housing and public service providers to develop an effective institutional delivery structure and enhance interagency coordination. The City continues to work with regional housing authorities, such as the Clearwater Housing Authority and Pinellas County Housing Authority, to improve access to public housing and tenant-based rental assistance. Although the funding for public housing authorities is limited, and competition for affordable housing is high, these agencies continue to provide housing-related activities, such as rental assistance, rehabilitation, and new construction, for low-income persons. Input from public housing authorities is regularly solicited during preparation of the City’s Annual Action Plan. Additionally, the City promotes coordination between non-profit and private for-profit housing providers through its Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB), through the SHIP- mandated Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) in conjunction with the LHAP and LHIS reports, and through the annual Action Plan process. Moreover, annual meetings in conjunction with the Action Plan provide an opportunity for these providers to interact. Public service providers in the greater Clearwater area provide a wide array of services for low- and moderate-income persons. These organization typically have a specific target population that they serve (e.g., the homeless, persons with special needs, low-income families, etc.), and accordingly possess a level of knowledge and expertise that is invaluable when identifying underserved needs. The continuation and expansion of these public services will be encouraged over the second year by means of matching programs with funding, as available. The City recognizes that improved coordination between housing and public service providers is regularly solicited during preparation of the City’s annual Action Plan. Discussion: For the second-year Action Plan, the City will support activities that will address underserved needs through community development and public services; foster and maintain affordable housing through rehabilitation, new construction, and homebuyer assistance; reduce lead-based paint hazards through responsible rehabilitation; reduce the number of poverty-level families through a combination of mentoring and economic development; and develop institutional delivery structure through a network of community partners, including the City and its departments. Additionally, the City will continue to encourage coordination between public housing authorities, non-profit and private for-profit housing providers, and public service providers through the NAHAB and AHAC, annual Action Plan participation, and regular day-to-day referrals through the Economic Development and Housing Department.

Annual Action Plan 2021 103 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The City of Clearwater anticipates $99,100 in program income (including $71,600 from revolving loan program and $27,500 from other income). Approximately $1,723,692 is expected from prior-year resources to be carried over (including $1,180,058 in the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) and $543,634 in other prior-year resources). Note that the carried-over RLF amount includes $587,783 from NSP3 conversion to CDBG. Combined with the entitlement allocation of $922,626, available CDBG funds total $2,745,418. The City has not identified funds for urgent need activities at this time. The percentage of overall benefit to low- and moderate-income persons is expected to be 88.81%. The City has calculated the percentage of overall benefit based on the second program year (2021/2022). This percentage excludes second-year activities related to the removal of slum and blight. 1 HOME-ARP Allocation Plan Template with Guidance Instructions: All guidance in this template, including questions and tables, reflect requirements for the HOME-ARP allocation plan, as described in Notice CPD-21-10: Requirements of the Use of Funds in the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program, unless noted as optional. As the requirements highlighted in this template are not exhaustive, please refer to the Notice for a full description of the allocation plan requirements as well as instructions for submitting the plan, the SF-424, SF-424B, SF-424D, and the certifications. References to “the ARP” mean the HOME-ARP statute at section 3205 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2). Consultation In accordance with Section V.A of the Notice (page 13), before developing its HOME-ARP allocation plan, at a minimum, a PJ must consult with: • CoC(s) serving the jurisdiction’s geographic area, • homeless service providers, • domestic violence service providers, • veterans’ groups, • public housing agencies (PHAs), • public agencies that address the needs of the qualifying populations, and • public or private organizations that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities. State PJs are not required to consult with every PHA or CoC within the state’s boundaries; however, local PJs must consult with all PHAs (including statewide or regional PHAs) and CoCs serving the jurisdiction. Template: Describe the consultation process including methods used and dates of consultation: The City of Clearwater developed a robust consultation process to meet HUD’s requirements and to ensure that the city is considering all priorities and needs within the community. On January 20, 2022, the City of Clearwater held a HOME-ARP Funding workshop to consult with local service providers, housing providers, and other groups that work to address the needs of qualifying populations. There were representatives from approximately a dozen organizations in attendance; further information about all consultation is detailed in the table below. In addition to a workshop, the city formed a selection committee, the Technical Review Committee (TRC), to score and select the projects for HOME-ARP Funding. The TRC met on February 18, 2022, and is comprised of several city staff, representatives from the Salvation Army, Pinellas Community 2 Foundation, and the Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas. These are the agencies that uniquely serve the qualifying populations under HOME-ARP.

Summarize feedback received and results of upfront consultation with these entities: All agencies were consulted through the HOME-ARP Funding Workshop and the Technical Review Committee. The Technical Review Committee, comprised of organizations representing Qualifying Populations, used input garnered from the HOME-ARP Funding Workshop to select projects for the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. The priority needs identified through consultation with these organizations were additional affordable rental units, rental assistance, and rapid rehousing for homeless prevention. When considering applications submitted in response to the HOME-ARP NOFA, the Technical Review Committee selected projects that specifically addressed these needs. Public Participation In accordance with Section V.B of the Notice (page 13), PJs must provide for and encourage citizen participation in the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan. Before submission of the plan, PJs must provide residents with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the proposed HOME-ARP allocation plan of no less than 15 calendar days. The PJ must follow its adopted requirements for “reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment” for plan amendments in its current citizen participation plan. In addition, PJs must hold at least one 4 public hearing during the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan and prior to submission. PJs are required to make the following information available to the public: • The amount of HOME-ARP the PJ will receive, and • The range of activities the PJ may undertake. Throughout the HOME-ARP allocation plan public participation process, the PJ must follow its applicable fair housing and civil rights requirements and procedures for effective communication, accessibility, and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities and providing meaningful access to participation by limited English proficient (LEP) residents that are in its current citizen participation plan as required by 24 CFR 91.105 and 91.115. Template: Describe the public participation process, including information about and the dates of the public comment period and public hearing(s) held during the development of the plan: • Date(s) of public notice: 5/4/2022 • Public comment period: start date - 5/4/2022 end date - 6/2/2022 • Date(s) of public hearing: 6/2/2022 Describe the public participation process: In accordance with HUD guidelines, the City of Clearwater held a public comment period that was at least 15 days to obtain comments from Clearwater residents, agencies, and anyone else who wished to review and comment on the plan. Following the public comment period, the city held a public hearing with the Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB) and with the City Council. The NAHAB is tasked with making recommendations to the City Council about the use of federal funds. The proposed funding activities are first heard by the NAHAB and then heard by the City Council, upon NAHAB’s recommendation. The NAHAB public hearing took place on May 10, 2022, and the City Council public hearing for adoption of the substantial amendment to approve the HOME-ARP Funding Allocation Plan was held on June 2, 2022. On September 10, 2023, a second public notice and public comment period was held for 30 days, for a substantial amendment to add Supportive Services as a proposed activity under the HOME- ARP Allocation Plan, and to reprogram funding accordingly. Following the second public comment period, the city held another public hearing with the NAHAB and City Council, on November 14, 2023, and November 16, 2023, respectively, to approve the substantial amendment to add Supportive Services and reprogram funding. 5 Describe efforts to broaden public participation: The City of Clearwater published public notices for the NAHAB and City Council public hearings in an effort to broaden public awareness and participation in the development of the allocation plan. A 15-day public comment period is required; however, the city is holding a 30- day public comment period to allow more time for citizens to review the plan and provide comment. Additionally, the city followed its citizen participation plan, which guides all public participation efforts in a manner that promotes transparency and encourages active participation from residents, especially those qualifying populations. Summarize the comments and recommendations received through the public participation process either in writing, or orally at a public hearing: Feedback received during the HOME-ARP Funding workshop and the public participation process identified an apparent need for affordable rental units, rental assistance, and rapid rehousing for homeless prevention, on which the City of Clearwater will focus its allocation. Summarize any comments or recommendations not accepted and state the reasons why: All comments and recommendations were accepted and considered in the development of this allocation plan. Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis In accordance with Section V.C.1 of the Notice (page 14), a PJ must evaluate the size and demographic composition of all four of the qualifying populations within its boundaries and assess the unmet needs of each of those populations. If the PJ does not evaluate the needs of one of the qualifying populations, then the PJ has not completed their Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis. In addition, a PJ must identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service delivery system. A PJ should use current data, including point in time count, housing inventory count, or other data available through CoCs, and consultations with service providers to quantify the individuals and families in the qualifying populations and their need for additional housing, shelter, or services. 6 Template: OPTIONAL Homeless Needs Inventory and Gap Analysis Table Homeless Current Inventory Homeless Population Gap Analysis Family Adults Only Vets Family HH (at least 1 child) Adult HH (w/o child) Vets Victims of DV Family Adults Only # of Beds # of Units # of Beds # of Units # of Beds # of Beds # of Units # of Beds # of Units Emergency Shelter 380 94 764 N/A 11 Transitional Housing 87 35 199 N/A 55 Permanent Supportive Housing 336 88 1,266 N/A 934 Other Permanent Housing 0 0 20 N/A 20 Sheltered Homeless 114 1,058 215 99 Unsheltered Homeless 4 786 50 85 Current Gap N/A N/A N/A N/A Suggested Data Sources: 1.

American Community Survey (ACS); 2. Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) 7 Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ’s boundaries: Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 Homelessness affects all races and ethnicities; however, in Clearwater, white and black individuals are most impacted by homelessness. Of the 2,226 homeless individuals counted in the 2020 Point-In-Time counts for the continuum of care, 1,380 (nearly 62%) individuals were white, and 719 (over 32%) of individuals were black. The remaining 6% of homeless individuals identified as other minority races. Only about 7.6% of the total counted homeless population identified as Hispanic or Latino. More than 83% of all homeless individuals counted were adults in households without children. There were 350 (nearly 16%) homeless individuals counted in households with children, and 22 homeless individuals counted in households that contained only children (under the age of 18). At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 According to the FY 2021 Low- and Moderate-Income Summary Data, there are approximately 60,520 low- and moderate-income individuals within the City of Clearwater. This represents over 52% of the total population, based on the 2016-2020 American Community Survey. Of the city’s 115 Block Groups, 42 Block Groups are characterized as having more than 51.00% of its population designated as low- and moderate-income. This suggests that a significant percentage of Clearwater’s population has an income of less than 80% AMI and may be at increased risk of homelessness or in need of additional supportive services and assistance to prevent homelessness and housing instability. According to 2011-2015 CHAS, there are 460 low- and moderate-income households (<80% AMI) that experience crowding of more than 1 person per room. Additionally, there are 3,115 households in the 0-30% AMI income group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 30%, and 2,755 households in the 0-30% AMI group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 50%. Due to crowding, income levels, and cost burdens, the households within these groups are at risk of homelessness. Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice In total, 184 (about 8%) homeless individuals counted identified themselves as victims of domestic violence. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, there were 6,111 domestic violence offenses in Pinellas County alone in 2020. There were also 450 reports of rape in Pinellas County for the same year. Considering that Clearwater makes up approximately 12% of the total population in Pinellas County, it can be assumed that there may be 733 domestic violence offenses and 54 reports of rape that occurred within Clearwater. Victims of these crimes are susceptible to homelessness and housing insecurity. 8 Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and other populations at greatest risk of housing instability, as defined by HUD in the Notice The 2020 homeless Point-In-Time count identifies 265 homeless veterans, representing about 12% of the homeless population. According to the 2019 Homeless leadership Alliance HMIS report for the 1-year period between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, it is estimated that there are 969 veterans experiencing homelessness each year and 518 veterans becoming homeless each year within the St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo/Pinellas County Continuum of Care. It can be assumed that there are nearly 1,500 veterans who experience or become homeless each year in Pinellas County, suggesting that about 180 veterans in Clearwater alone experience or become homeless each year. Identify and consider the current resources available to assist qualifying populations, including congregate and non-congregate shelter units, supportive services, TBRA, and affordable and permanent supportive rental housing (Optional): There is a wide array of existing homelessness prevention services available in Clearwater, including counseling, legal assistance, mortgage assistance, rental assistance, utilities assistance, law enforcement, mobile clinics, street outreach services, drug and alcohol abuse services, childcare, education services, employment and employment training services, healthcare services, life skills training, mental health counselling, transportation services, and food banks. In the Clearwater area, homeless services such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are provided by churches and non-profit organizations. Some of these organizations include the Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. (Homeless Empowerment Program), Kimberly Home, Boley Centers, Hope Villages of America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources, Inc., among others. To better address the needs of the area’s homeless population, the Homeless Leadership Alliance maintains an online map-based directory of emergency shelter and transitional housing services, as well as food and clothing assistance targeted to homeless persons. The database connects to the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority route maps. Information regarding homeless resources is also disseminated through the 2-1-1 Tampa Bay Cares, Inc. hotline. Describe the unmet housing and service needs of qualifying populations: Homeless as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 In the Clearwater area, homeless services such as emergency shelter and transitional housing are provided by churches and non-profit organizations. Some of these organizations include the Homeless Emergency Project, Inc. (Homeless Empowerment Program), Kimberly Home, Boley Centers, Hope Villages of America, Salvation Army, and Family Resources, Inc., among others. These existing shelters and supportive service providers need additional funding to ensure satisfactory provision of services and future expansion of these services for those experiencing homelessness. 9 At Risk of Homelessness as defined in 24 CFR 91.5 The 5-year consolidated plan identifies priorities related to persons experiencing homelessness. Among these needs are substance abuse and behavioral/metal health services, services for homeless youth and youth aging out of foster care, homeless facilities and shelters, and case management. While there are existing shelters and supportive services for those experiencing homelessness, there may be a need for additional supportive services to prevent homelessness, including transitional housing, emergency assistance and other moving assistance (rental deposit assistance, security deposit), and other rental assistance and utility assistance efforts. These efforts also contribute to the maintenance and availability of affordable housing for all income groups, especially those qualifying populations. Fleeing, or Attempting to Flee, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, or Human Trafficking, as defined by HUD in the Notice Populations with unstable living environments may require additional financial assistance, such as rental assistance, down payment assistance, or utility assistance. These groups may also rely on transitional shelters and safe homes for temporary housing. Additional funding for organizations that provide these services would ensure that sufficient and decent housing is available for those that depend on it. Other populations requiring services or housing assistance to prevent homelessness and other populations at greatest risk of housing instability as defined by HUD in the Notice For those non-homeless populations, additional affordable rental housing units and supportive counseling is also needed to reduce existing homelessness and prevent future homelessness. Identify any gaps within the current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service delivery system: Clearwater has a robust shelter, housing, and service delivery system for those individuals experiencing homelessness and who are at risk of becoming homeless. Some identified gaps may exist, including sufficient funding to support the volume and reach of homeless supportive services (including non-profit service providers that offer substance abuse and mental health services, services for homeless youth, and case management). The city will continue to financially support these programs, when possible, and aid in the identification of additional funding sources, and provide technical assistance to aid in the completion of grant applications. The city maintains a strong relationship with service providers, and included many of them in the consultation and production of this plan. The input received from these service providers during the consultation process was critical to the identification of needs. Their involvement ensures successful programming ang lessens the existing gaps in providing homeless needs and other supportive services for qualifying populations. The city is very engaged with the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Alliance, supporting the organization in the implementation of the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness; additional, improved, and maintained coordination between these service providers, and the city would 10 benefit those populations at risk of homelessness and those experiencing homelessness by promoting a transparent and accessible communication strategy. Improved coordination would increase the dissemination of information about critical resources and supportive services, as well as improve the quality of those services. An identified gap is the need for additional transitional or permanent supportive housing; one way to reduce this need is for the city to coordinate with the continuum of care, non-profit service providers, and other organizations to encourage the development of these programs and these types of housing. Under Section IV.4.2.ii.G of the HOME-ARP Notice, a PJ may provide additional characteristics associated with instability and increased risk of homelessness in their HOME- ARP allocation plan. These characteristics will further refine the definition of “other populations” that are “At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability,” as established in the HOME- ARP Notice. If including these characteristics, identify them here: Housing with 1 or more housing problems is associated with instability. As shown in the table above, there are 5,005 households earning less than 50% AMI with at least one housing problem. Additionally, households experiencing cost burden and crowding may experiencing housing instability and be at a greater risk of homelessness. According to the 2011-2015 CHAS data, there are 460 low- and moderate-income households (<80% AMI) that experience crowding of more than 1 person per room. Additionally, there are 3,115 households in the 0-30% AMI income group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 30%, and 2,755 households in the 0- 30% AMI group that are experiencing cost burden greater than 50%. Identify priority needs for qualifying populations: While there are a number of important priority needs, as listed in the city’s five-year consolidated plan, this allocation plan will focus on the priority needs listed below: 1. Affordable housing development (production of new rental units) 2. Facilities/Services for Victims of Domestic Violence (TBRA) 3. Rental Assistance 4. Homeless prevention (through diversion services, utility assistance, move-in assistance) Explain how the PJ determined the level of need and gaps in the PJ’s shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan: The most recent Housing Inventory Counts (January 2021) and Point-In-Time counts (January 2020) were used to develop the data presented in the tables and narrative above. The 2011-2015 CHAS and 2016-2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates were used to supplement the housing inventory and point-in-time county. Based on reported numbers, there are currently sufficient shelter beds for those populations experiencing homelessness; however, it should be assumed that the reported count for homeless populations is an undercount. There is likely a gap in affordable housing for low- and moderate-income populations earning less than 50% AMI. There are only 600 units considered affordable to extremely low-income populations earning less 11 than 30% AMI and only 1,815 rental units affordable to populations earning less than 50% AMI. This leaves 17,614 rental units that are unaffordable to over 12,000 households that earn less than 50% AMI, according to the 2011-2015 CHAS data. Additionally, over 5,000 renter households with an income less than 50% AMI live in a house with one or more housing problems. This represents over 40% of the total low-income population earning less than 50% AMI, suggesting there is a need for additional decent, affordable rental units. Gaps related to coordination and supportive services were identified using previous performance of similar programs and previously identified community needs, as identified in the 2020/2021- 2024/2025 Consolidated Plan. Additionally, through the consultation process the city gauged needs and gaps based on outreach to service providers. HOME-ARP Activities Template: Describe the method(s)that will be used for soliciting applications for funding and/or selecting developers, service providers, subrecipients and/or contractors: The city accepted applications for proposed projects by local developers, service providers, and nonprofit organizations on the city’s website. All proposed project applications submitted a description of the organization, a project description, and requested funding amount. The City of Clearwater developed a Technical Review Committee which was comprised of city staff and local service providers. This committee reviewed all applications for their compliance with the HOME-ARP program and benefits to qualifying populations to determine which projects to allocate funding to. Describe whether the PJ will administer eligible activities directly: Funding for eligible activities will be allocated directly to subrecipients with program compliance oversight and general administration/planning conducted by the city of Clearwater. If any portion of the PJ’s HOME-ARP administrative funds are provided to a subrecipient or contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME-ARP allocation plan because the subrecipient or contractor is responsible for the administration of the PJ’s entire HOME-ARP grant, identify the subrecipient or contractor and describe its role and responsibilities in administering all of the PJ’s HOME-ARP program: Not applicable. In accordance with Section V.C.2. of the Notice (page 4), PJs must indicate the amount of HOME-ARP funding that is planned for each eligible HOME-ARP activity type and demonstrate that any planned funding for nonprofit organization operating assistance, nonprofit capacity building, and administrative costs is within HOME-ARP limits. 12 Template: Use of HOME-ARP Funding Funding Amount Percent of the Grant Statutory Limit Supportive Services $ 0691,938.00 Acquisition and Development of Non-Congregate Shelters $ 0.00 Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) $ 623,430200,000.00 Development of Affordable Rental Housing $ 875500,000.00 Non-Profit Operating $ 0.00 0 % 5% Non-Profit Capacity Building $ 0.00 0 % 5% Administration and Planning $ 139,137245,629.00 8.4914.99 % 15% Total HOME ARP Allocation $ 1,637,567 Describe how the PJ will distribute HOME-ARP funds in accordance with its priority needs identified in its needs assessment and gap analysis: The following list includes descriptions of the proposed activities and their desired impact to address the gaps and priority needs: 1. Blue Sky Communities Amount Requested: $875,000 Purpose of Funding: Allocation to support Blue Sky’s proposed project at 610 Franklin Street under partnership with the CRA. Five units will be reserved for households meeting the Qualifying Population under the HOME-ARP Program. 2. HOPE Villages of America Amount Requested: $134,750 Purpose of Funding: Hope Villages of America's (HVA) Grace House, a family shelter facility, will provide Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to families exiting the Grace House after the successful completion of programming, individuals served at The Haven which provides domestic violence shelter and individuals served through outreach services at both programs. 3. Pinellas Opportunity Council Amount Requested: $100,000 Purpose of Funding: POC's Emergency Assistance Program provides financial assistance to eligible clients in need of emergency assistance with utilities, fuel oil, and rent/mortgage emergencies. POC just received a local grant through Pinellas Community Foundation for $25,000 in January 2022 to assist all age demographics in Pinellas County with rent deposits. This grant does not cover utility deposits. POC is requesting a total of $100,000 to provide these much-needed services to the Clearwater community. POC 13 proposes to spend $70,000 in rental deposits with a max of $2,000 per household and $30,000 in utility deposits with a max of $400 per household. 4. Homeless Emergency Project (Homeless Empowerment Program) Amount Requested: $292,500 Purpose of Funding: Through the Family Transition Program (FTP), homeless families with minor children receive temporary shelter (up to 90 days) and comprehensive supportive services. HEP is requesting HOME-ARP funds from the City of Clearwater to provide these families with one-time move-in assistance (application fee, security deposit, first months’ rent, etc.) as they exit FTP and obtain independent affordable rental housing in the community. 5. Homeless Leadership Alliance Amount Requested: $46,180 Purpose of Funding: Clients are identified and referred to the Prevention/Diversion component of the Front Door by over 25 cross sector provider agencies, 211 Tampa Bay Cares, law enforcement officers, municipalities, funders, governmental entities, faith- based groups, elected officials, self-referrals, and “word of mouth” from previous participants. Referrals are made via phone, email, HMIS, or text message. If staff determine that financial assistance is needed to prevent or divert the individual or household from entering the homeless system of care, staff has access to a flexible financial assistance account, provided that it will directly result in a housing solution. 6. Society of St. Vincent DePaul Community Kitchen and Resource Center Amount Requested: $50,000 Purpose of Funding: SVDP’s proposed project is to expand supportive services to our homeless clients who are seeking opportunities to become self-sufficient. Grant funds will be used to expand housing assistance that positions clients for long-term success. The SVDP Housing Support program includes needs assessments, housing support (rent, utility, deposit fees), and service referrals which may include addiction recovery, mental health services, mentorship, employment readiness, and life skills training. 1. HOME-ARP Supportive Services Amount Requested: $691,938 Purpose of Funding: The City of Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to provide supportive services to Qualifying Populations under the HOME-ARP program. The supportive services to be contracted will be eligible costs for McKinney-Vento Supportive Services and Homeless Prevention Services, including but not limited to housing search and counseling services, life skills training, case management, landlord/tenant liaison services, and financial assistance costs. 2. HOME-ARP Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Amount Requested: $200,000 14 Purpose of Funding: The City of Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to assist Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants with HOME-ARP TBRA to obtain security deposit assistance. Participants must be HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations who reside within the city limits of Clearwater. Any portion of the proposed amount of $200,000 not used for HOME-ARP TBRA will be applied towards HOME-ARP Supportive Services and/or HOME-ARP Affordable Rental Housing. 3. HOME-ARP Affordable Rental Housing Amount Requested: $500,000 Purpose of Funding: The City of Clearwater will contract with subrecipients to produce or preserve affordable rental units for HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations. If the production of affordable rental units is not feasible, the proposed amount of $500,000, or any portion of that amount not used, will be applied towards HOME-ARP Supportive Services and/or HOME-ARP TBRA. As applicable to the activities described above, HOME-ARP Qualifying Populations are described as: Homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)); At-risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)); Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, as defined by the Secretary; Other populations where providing supportive services or assistance under section 212(a) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 12742(a)) would prevent the family’s homelessness or would serve those with the greatest risk of housing instability; and Veterans and families that include a veteran family member that meet one of the preceding criteria. Some pProjects associated with these activities under the Pinellas Opportunity Council, the Homeless Emergency Project, and the Society of St. Vincent DePaul may include both supportive services and, tenant-based rental assistance, and/or development of affordable housing. Per HUD guidance and communication with city staff, the city will keep record of funding that is spent as supportive services and how many households benefit from this funding. These data will be monitored for future reporting. Describe how the characteristics of the shelter and housing inventory, service delivery system, and the needs identified in the gap analysis provided a rationale for the plan to fund eligible activities: As previously identified in the above sections, the qualitative and quantitative data presented indicates a need for projects that support the identified priority needs (additional affordable housing, homeless prevention, rental assistance, and related supportive services), and those that close the gaps in service delivery (increased capacity for coordination, increased capacity to support homeless populations and those at risk of becoming homeless, and those in transitional housing). 15 HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals Template Estimate the number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that the PJ will produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation: The City HOME-ARP will allocate HOME-ARP funds to the Blue Sky Communities proposed for affordable housing development. The funds will aid in the development of 5 2 affordable rental housing units reserved for qualifying populations. Additionally, and 482 85 households will be assisted through rental assistance and TBRA. Supportive services are estimated to benefit 222 persons or households. Describe the specific affordable rental housing production goal that the PJ hopes to achieve and describe how the production goal will address the PJ’s priority needs: The City of Clearwater’s 2020/2021-2024/2025 Consolidated Plan identifies the goal of affordable housing, and estimates that 95 rental units will be constructed during the 5-year consolidated planning period. Together, this identified 5-year goal and the Blue Sky CommunitiesHOME-ARP Affordable Rental Housing project work towards addressing the city’s identified high priority need of new housing construction for both renters and owners. Preferences A preference provides a priority for the selection of applicants who fall into a specific QP or category (e.g., elderly or persons with disabilities) within a QP (i.e., subpopulation) to receive assistance. A preference permits an eligible applicant that qualifies for a PJ-adopted preference to be selected for HOME-ARP assistance before another eligible applicant that does not qualify for a preference. A method of prioritization is the process by which a PJ determines how two or more eligible applicants qualifying for the same or different preferences are selected for HOME- ARP assistance. For example, in a project with a preference for chronically homeless, all eligible QP applicants are selected in chronological order for a HOME-ARP rental project except that eligible QP applicants that qualify for the preference of chronically homeless are selected for occupancy based on length of time they have been homeless before eligible QP applicants who do not qualify for the preference of chronically homeless. Please note that HUD has also described a method of prioritization in other HUD guidance. Section I.C.4 of Notice CPD-17-01 describes Prioritization in CoC CE as follows: “Prioritization. In the context of the coordinated entry process, HUD uses the term “Prioritization” to refer to the coordinated entry-specific process by which all persons in need of assistance who use coordinated entry are ranked in order of priority. The coordinated entry 16 prioritization policies are established by the CoC with input from all community stakeholders and must ensure that ESG projects are able to serve clients in accordance with written standards that are established under 24 CFR 576.400(e). In addition, the coordinated entry process must, to the maximum extent feasible, ensure that people with more severe service needs and levels of vulnerability are prioritized for housing and homeless assistance before those with less severe service needs and lower levels of vulnerability. Regardless of how prioritization decisions are implemented, the prioritization process must follow the requirements in Section II.B.3. and Section I.D. of this Notice.” If a PJ is using a CE that has a method of prioritization described in CPD-17-01, then a PJ has preferences and a method of prioritizing those preferences. These must be described in the HOME-ARP allocation plan in order to comply with the requirements of Section IV.C.2 (page 10) of the HOME-ARP Notice. In accordance with Section V.C.4 of the Notice (page 15), the HOME-ARP allocation plan must identify whether the PJ intends to give a preference to one or more qualifying populations or a subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project. • Preferences cannot violate any applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a). • The PJ must comply with all applicable nondiscrimination and equal opportunity laws and requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a) and any other applicable fair housing and civil rights laws and requirements when establishing preferences or methods of prioritization. While PJs are not required to describe specific projects in its HOME-ARP allocation plan to which the preferences will apply, the PJ must describe the planned use of any preferences in its HOME-ARP allocation plan. This requirement also applies if the PJ intends to commit HOME- ARP funds to projects that will utilize preferences or limitations to comply with restrictive eligibility requirements of another project funding source. If a PJ fails to describe preferences or limitations in its plan, it cannot commit HOME-ARP funds to a project that will implement a preference or limitation until the PJ amends its HOME-ARP allocation plan. For HOME-ARP rental housing projects, Section VI.B.20.a.iii of the HOME-ARP Notice (page 36) states that owners may only limit eligibility or give a preference to a particular qualifying population or segment of the qualifying population if the limitation or preference is described in the PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation plan. Adding a preference or limitation not previously described in the plan requires a substantial amendment and a public comment period in accordance with Section V.C.6 of the Notice (page 16). Template: Identify whether the PJ intends to give preference to one or more qualifying populations or a subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project: The city of Clearwater does not intend to give preference to one or more qualifying populations. 17 If a preference was identified, explain how the use of a preference or method of prioritization will address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in the qualifying population or subpopulation of qualifying population, consistent with the PJ’s needs assessment and gap analysis: Not applicable. Referral Methods PJs are not required to describe referral methods in the plan. However, if a PJ intends to use a coordinated entry (CE) process for referrals to a HOME-ARP project or activity, the PJ must ensure compliance with Section IV.C.2 of the Notice (page10). A PJ may use only the CE for direct referrals to HOME-ARP projects and activities (as opposed to CE and other referral agencies or a waitlist) if the CE expands to accept all HOME-ARP qualifying populations and implements the preferences and prioritization established by the PJ in its HOME-ARP allocation plan. A direct referral is where the CE provides the eligible applicant directly to the PJ, subrecipient, or owner to receive HOME-ARP TBRA, supportive services, admittance to a HOME-ARP rental unit, or occupancy of a NCS unit. In comparison, an indirect referral is where a CE (or other referral source) refers an eligible applicant for placement to a project or activity waitlist. Eligible applicants are then selected for a HOME-ARP project or activity from the waitlist. The PJ must require a project or activity to use CE along with other referral methods (as provided in Section IV.C.2.ii) or to use only a project/activity waiting list (as provided in Section IV.C.2.iii) if: 1. the CE does not have a sufficient number of qualifying individuals and families to refer to the PJ for the project or activity; 2. the CE does not include all HOME-ARP qualifying populations; or, 3. the CE fails to provide access and implement uniform referral processes in situations where a project’s geographic area(s) is broader than the geographic area(s) covered by the CE If a PJ uses a CE that prioritizes one or more qualifying populations or segments of qualifying populations (e.g., prioritizing assistance or units for chronically homeless individuals first, then prioritizing homeless youth second, followed by any other individuals qualifying as homeless, etc.) then this constitutes the use of preferences and a method of prioritization. To implement a CE with these preferences and priorities, the PJ must include the preferences and method of prioritization that the CE will use in the preferences section of their HOME-ARP allocation plan. Use of a CE with embedded preferences or methods of prioritization that are not contained in the PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation does not comply with Section IV.C.2 of the Notice (page10). Template: 18 Identify the referral methods that the PJ intends to use for its HOME-ARP projects and activities. PJ’s may use multiple referral methods in its HOME-ARP program. (Optional): Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for administration/planning), the city defers to the Continuum of Care’s referral methods and coordinated entry procedures. The Homeless Leadership Alliance (HLA) is the Continuum of Care for the region, including the city of Clearwater. The HLA outlines their Coordinated Entry and referral procedures here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c784173a9ab953d5ee017d5/t/6231ef1c5e2a23775310a13 0/1647439647497/CE+Policies+and+Procedures+with+Attachments.pdf If the PJ intends to use the coordinated entry (CE) process established by the CoC, describe whether all qualifying populations eligible for a project or activity will be included in the CE process, or the method by which all qualifying populations eligible for the project or activity will be covered. (Optional): The city will work with the HLA for coordinated entry procedures. Additionally, the HLA is receiving funds through the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan for prevention/diversion activities. Referrals for this projects are made through the HLA. Several pProjects include including referral activities and will be completed by the corresponding HOME-ARP subrecipients. If the PJ intends to use the CE process established by the CoC, describe the method of prioritization to be used by the CE. (Optional): Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for administration/planning), subrecipients are responsible for decisions related to referral method prioritization, where relevant. If the PJ intends to use both a CE process established by the CoC and another referral method for a project or activity, describe any method of prioritization between the two referral methods, if any. (Optional): Since the city of Clearwater will not administer HOME-ARP projects directly (except for administration/planning), subrecipients are responsible for decisions related to referral method prioritization, where relevant. Limitations in a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project Limiting eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project is only permitted under certain circumstances. • PJs must follow all applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.105(a). This includes, but is not limited to, the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, section 504 of Rehabilitation Act, HUD’s Equal Access Rule, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, as applicable. • A PJ may not exclude otherwise eligible qualifying populations from its overall HOME- ARP program. 19 • Within the qualifying populations, participation in a project or activity may be limited to persons with a specific disability only, if necessary, to provide effective housing, aid, benefit, or services that would be as effective as those provided to others in accordance with 24 CFR 8.4(b)(1)(iv). A PJ must describe why such a limitation for a project or activity is necessary in its HOME-ARP allocation plan (based on the needs and gap identified by the PJ in its plan) to meet some greater need and to provide a specific benefit that cannot be provided through the provision of a preference. • For HOME-ARP rental housing, section VI.B.20.a.iii of the Notice (page 36) states that owners may only limit eligibility to a particular qualifying population or segment of the qualifying population if the limitation is described in the PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation plan. • PJs may limit admission to HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS to households who need the specialized supportive services that are provided in such housing or NCS. However, no otherwise eligible individuals with disabilities or families including an individual with a disability who may benefit from the services provided may be excluded on the grounds that they do not have a particular disability. Template Describe whether the PJ intends to limit eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project to a particular qualifying population or specific subpopulation of a qualifying population identified in section IV.A of the Notice: The city of Clearwater does not intend to limit eligibility for a HOME-ARP rental housing or NCS project to a particular Qualifying Population or specific subpopulation of a Qualifying Population. Any individual who belongs to any of the Qualifying Populations under HOME- ARP is eligible to benefit from the selected projects. If a PJ intends to implement a limitation, explain why the use of a limitation is necessary to address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in the qualifying population or subpopulation of qualifying population, consistent with the PJ’s needs assessment and gap analysis: The city of Clearwater does not intend to implement a limitation to a particular Qualifying Population or specific subpopulation of a Qualifying Population. Any individual who belongs to any of the Qualifying Populations under HOME-ARP is eligible to benefit from the selected projects. If a limitation was identified, describe how the PJ will address the unmet needs or gaps in benefits and services of the other qualifying populations that are not included in the limitation through the use of HOME-ARP funds (i.e., through another of the PJ’s HOME-ARP projects or activities): Not applicable. 20 HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines If the PJ intends to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME-ARP funds, the PJ must state its HOME- ARP refinancing guidelines in accordance with 24 CFR 92.206(b). The guidelines must describe the conditions under with the PJ will refinance existing debt for a HOME-ARP rental project, including: • Establish a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing to demonstrate that rehabilitation of HOME-ARP rental housing is the primary eligible activity Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. • Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestment in the property has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that the feasibility of serving qualified populations for the minimum compliance period can be demonstrated. Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. • State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both. Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. • Specify the required compliance period, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer. Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. • State that HOME-ARP funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG. Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. • Other requirements in the PJ’s guidelines, if applicable: Not applicable. The city does not plan to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family rental housing. Cover Memo City of Clearwater Main Library - Council Chambers 100 N. Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ID#23-1328 Agenda Date: 11/13/2023 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Parks & Recreation Agenda Number: 4.1 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Contract for Purchase of Real Property located at 1399 Pineapple Lane, Clearwater, FL, in an amount not to exceed $620,000.00; transfer funds from Open Space Impact Fees to Park Land Acquisition (CIP 315-93133) at first quarter and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent) SUMMARY: The subject property is owned by Co-Trustees of the Marilyn C. Woodring Revocable LivingTrust Agreement and is located at 1399 Pineapple Lane, Parcel No. 08-29-16-00000-240-0100. The acquisition consists of a property that is primarily open space with one residential home and storage shed on the property that is approximately 148,104 square feet and abuts Moccasin Lake Park. This parcel would be a strategic acquisition for the City’s Parks & Recreation Department in that it would expand Moccasin Lake Park and provide for preservation of the property for future generations. Also, this will ensure residents on Pineapple Lane that additional development will not be constructed at the end of their Street. If purchased, this property would remain in its natural state and be used as an addition to Moccasin Lake Park with minimal improvements. There is an opportunity for natural restoration project of a portion of the land that is an open meadow. The city obtained an independent appraisal performed by James Millspaugh and Associates, Inc. for $600,000. The owner representative and city staff agreed on a purchase price at the appraised value of $600,000. Summary of costs for the purchase of the subject property are as followed: Purchase price: $600,000. Closing costs and other ancillary expenses required for closing: $20.000.00. Total: $620,000.00. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Funds are available in Special Development Fund for this purchase. A first quarter budget amendment will transfer $620,000.00 of Open Space impact fees from the Special Development Fund into project 315-93133 Park Land Acquisition. USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Purchasing this parkland helps Parks & Recreation to achieve Strategic Objective 1.2 maintain public infrastructure, mobility systems, natural lands, environmental resources, and historic features through systematic management efforts; and 4.3 to protect the conservation of urban forests and public green spaces. The addition of this land allows for the expansion of Moccasin Lake Nature Park, a sprawling outdoor park brimming with wildlife and natural beauty. The extra acreage provides for more space that this park can use for the enjoyment and education of Clearwater residents.

The property and methods utilized in arriving at the final value estimate are fully described in the attached report, which contains 22 pages and Addenda. This Appraisal Report has been made in conformance with and is subject to the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Institute and the Appraisal Foundation. The Appraisal Report and final value estimate are subject to all attached Contingent and Limiting Conditions. I have made a careful and detailed analysis of the subject property and after analyzing the market data researched for this report, I estimate that the market value of the referenced real property only subject to the stated limitations, definitions and certifications set forth in the attached appraisal report as of July 31, 2023, was: SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($600,000) Respectfully submitted, JAMES MILLSPAUGH & ASSOCIATES, INC. ____________________________ James M.

The parcel also has access via Edenwood Street from the east. It is legally described in brief by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser as Metes and Bounds #24/01 located in the SE/4 of the NW/4 of Section 8, Township 29 South, Range 16 East and in detail in the Addenda. The site is also subject to a Pinellas County drainage easement bordering the north and west side of the parcel, which begins near the south end of Pineapple Lane and ends at the parkland acreage along the subject western boundary. CENSUS TRACT LOCATION/ZIP CODE: #268.04/33759 FLOOD ZONE LOCATION: Pinellas County, Florida Map #12103C0126G Effective Date: September 3, 2003 The subject site and most adjacent lands are located in an X zone, which is not a special flood hazard district. Adjacent lands to the south and west, however, are located in an AE special flood hazard area where finished floor elevations must be above 20’ to 27’ elevation. Per city storm maps, the subject site appears to have elevations ranging from roughly 30’ near the south boundary to 42’ near the north boundary. 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 REPORT: The objective of this report is to estimate the current market value of the fee simple estate of the real property only as of July 31, 2023 (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 pending purchase negotiations for the subject and that the intended users are the City and ownership representatives and no others. 2 EXPOSURE PERIOD ESTIMATE: This is the past period of time required to have sold the subject property at my value estimate on the appraisal date. The late Fall 2022 and Spring market 2023 had slowed in response to increased interest rates and inflation and now during Summer 2023 initial builder returns have begun in response to increased residential sales. As such and considering the best available historical data for the following transactions, I would estimate the subject exposure period at from one to three months. STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP AND RECENT SALES HISTORY: The property is owned by the Woodring family that has held title for multiple decades. As such, there has been no recent transfer or known listing 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 vacant or marginally improved land has focused on the greater Clearwater/North Pinellas County district while I am familiar with and have considered values from around Tampa Bay in general. Specifically, I have researched the public records through the Pinellas Property Appraiser’s and Clerk’s files, the local MLS data, my newspaper clipping files and several local business periodicals. I have field inspected the subject locale and the referenced Land Sales and verified the details with a related party. The report will include a Land Sales Comparison Approach, which is the only reliable methodology for valuing vacant acreage. I previously appraised the property for the City of Clearwater on June 3, 2014 and October 10, 2022. 3 DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE:1 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 are 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) 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. ------------------------------------------- 1 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 12 CFR, Part 323, RIN 3064-AB05, August 20, 1990, Section 323.2, Definitions. 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. 4 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. 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. 5 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. 6 CERTIFICATION The undersigned does hereby certify that, except as otherwise noted in this appraisal report: 1. As of the date of this report, I, James M. Millspaugh, have completed the requirements under the continuing education program of the Appraisal Institute. 2. I have personally inspected the subject property and have considered all factors affecting the value thereof, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the statements of fact contained in this appraisal report, upon which the analyses, opinions and conclusions expressed herein are based, are true and correct, subject to all attached Contingent and Limiting Conditions. 3. I have no present or contemplated future interest in the real estate that is the subject of this appraisal report. 4. I have no personal interest or bias with respect to the subject matter of this appraisal report or the parties involved. 5. My fee for this appraisal report is in no way contingent upon my findings. The undersigned further certifies that employment for this appraisal assignment was not based on a requested minimum valuation or an approval of a loan. 6. This appraisal report sets forth all of the limiting conditions (imposed by the terms of my assignment or by the undersigned) affecting the analyses, opinions, and conclusions contained in this report. 7. This appraisal report has been made in conformity with and is subject to the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Institute and the Appraisal Foundation and may be subject to peer review. Further, I have met USPAP's competency provision and am capable of completing this appraisal assignment. 8. No one other than the undersigned prepared the analyses, conclusions and opinions concerning the real estate that are set forth in this appraisal report. 9. In my opinion, the estimated current market value of the subject acreage as of July 31, 2023, was: SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($600,000) ____________________________________ James M. Millspaugh, MAI State-Certified General Real Estate Appraiser RZ58 7 AREA DESCRIPTION: This eastern Clearwater district is bordered by US 19 on the west, Gulf To Bay Boulevard on the south, McMullen-Booth on the east and Sunset Point Road to the north. Clearwater Mall is about one mile south of the subject, Countryside Mall is about one and one- half miles to the north and the Clearwater Industrial Park is roughly one mile west. A recent acquisition by the Phillies will add another major proximate activity center at Drew Street and US Highway 19. The locale is served by the north county major traffic routes that lead to major employment centers (Gateway and Westshore) in Tampa Bay. These location features present a positive value benefit for the subject area. The proximate income/housing values are at a relatively modest level and little vacant land exists for modern development as most of the nearby mobile home parks and apartment buildings are relatively upscale and modern and not likely current candidates for re-development. The massive Baycare office complex at Drew Street and Bayview Avenue replaced a former subsidized housing complex and the former Clearwater Christian College campus on Old Tampa Bay off the Courtney Campbell Causeway was re-developed with a medical college campus. The area is dissected by an active railroad corridor and the Alligator Creek drainage basin, which has been upgraded for public storm drainage during the past several decades. The area just south of the subject also includes several public parkland areas that are located along this drainage system and have been upgraded to accommodate heavy storms. Otherwise, the areas has all typical public services and schools to serve the residents. The past decade or so has attracted significant multi-family housing along Gulf To Bay east of US 19 where numerous older mobile home parks have Tampa Bay waterfrontage and proximity to the mall and employment centers add to the re-development logic. While the subject is virtually surrounded by moderately priced single family and apartments to the west, the overriding good location is considered to justify demand for any available acreage location here where single-family is enjoying a resurging demand as the buying public reassesses interest rate increases with the cost remaining reasonable over the long-term. 8 9 SITE DATA: The site forms an “L” of adequate size and shape to accommodate residential use. Dimensions include 293’ along the west, some 420’ along the south, 483’ along the east and 255’ and 165’ along the northern notch. Without a current survey, the pubic Property Appraiser data notes the total land area at 3.4 acres MOL. The site is basically level with a slope to the south. Per the city storm map, the northern line elevation is near 42’ while the southern line is at 30’ and drops further toward the south. As such, the property has extra storm drainage concerns if re-developed. There is in fact a drainage way extending along the north boundary to near Pineapple Lane and then extending south and west to the County storm structure near the southwest corner of the site. This headwall receives storm drainage off the end of Pineapple Lane that extends along the subject north boundary and then south along the west boundary to the County structure, with these improvements appearing to have corrected past storm drainage concerns. Per City Utility Atlas Page #273-A, all city utilities extend to the site and would be available for the site re-development. Public access is via Pineapple Lane from the north and Edenwood Street from the east. The central portion of the site is cleared while the northeast, east and mostly south lands are heavily treed by native trees. The soil types are a range of sandy soils typically suitable for Florida residences and no wetland areas were obvious. This 1972 Pinellas County Soil Survey data was on Page 11 and also showed no evidence of a meandering natural stream. Surrounding improvements are primarily one-story single-family residences while the south and part of the west boundary border Clearwater’s Moccasin Lake Nature Park. This nature preserve is roughly 16.5 acres in size and is primarily accessed from the Cliff Stevens Park to the south off of Drew Street. None of the adjacent or area uses are considered to be detriments to the subject. 10 ASSESSMENT AND TAX DATA: Pinellas County Parcel # 2022 Assessment 2022 Gross Tax 8-29-16-00000-240-0100 $455,633 $ 6,716.51 * Notes: The 2022 gross tax also included a surface water charge of $270.80. ZONING AND LAND USE DATA: The site is zoned RA for residential and agricultural uses with secondary uses of residential, equine, institutional, transportation/utility ancillary plus non-residential/open space, estate residential in nature with one-acre maximum at a .3 FAR and .6 ISR (Floor Area Ratio and Impervious Surface Ratio). The RA regulation has a two-acre minimum site size with setbacks of 25’ front, 15’ side, 20’ rear plus a 35’ height maximum. The site has a Residential Low Land Use regulation per Pinellas County Planning that allow a maximum density of five units per acre as described in the Addenda. DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS: These comprise a relatively modern (1993) mobile home of roughly 1,800 SF, a detached cottage, several storage sheds, and a masonry garage. All appear to be in acceptable condition for continued use but would not be considered the highest and best use of the entire site as they are mostly clustered in the northeast corner of the site, had been used by a long-time family members and are not consistent with modern use trends. There are also various residential site improvements in this section of the site plus chain link fencing along a majority of the boundaries and several structures along the western boundary used by an adjacent relative. HIGHEST AND BEST USE: (Defined In The Addenda) The tucked away location, the prevailing single-family residential use plus the public parkland all indicate a low-density residential concept for this parcel. Further, the zoning/land use indicates the same residential low density (five per acre maximum) that typically results in small, 60’ x 100’ single-family lots as surround the subject. The unknown for projecting a 11 new use for the property primarily includes the sloping terrain and the related storm drainage issues. The existing drainage ditch along the northeast boundary and then extending south along the extended line of Pineapple Lane is evidence of the situation that will be required to be maintained in any re-development of the property. This drainage flow must be stored onsite in retention ponds plus in addition to any created by new impervious surfaces. The ponds would likely be located along the southern boundary with outfall into the existing storm structure that flows south into the Alligator Creek basin. The effects of this scenario will tend to increase development costs and likely result in fewer lots than the maximum five per acre density for the 3.4 acres MOL or seventeen (17) lots (3.4 x 5 = 17.00). The site would be difficult to maximize the density due to its irregular slope and the meandering ditches. It appears that 60-65’ lot widths for 105’ along the west and 205’-218’ off the extension of Edenwood would yield 10 to 11 lots with storm retention to be located along the southern boundary. This preliminary concept could include extending both roadways to connect or more likely to create a cul-de-sac at Edenwood with access to three-four lots off Pineapple Lane. Further, dead-ending Edenwood at a cul-de-sac near the meandering creek-like section could create seven lots plus three-four fronting the extension of Pineapple Lane. Another less likely alternative would include two estate-sized lots divided by the meandering creek-like section with separate accesses. The current demand for small lots is at a decade peak with local and regional builders scouring north Pinellas for lot inventory and/or vacant acreage to create more supply. As such and given the relatively small size of this parcel, the per acre or per lot price would be at a price premium for this locale. LAND VALUE ESTIMATE: The following most current land sales are considered representative of the subject due to similar characteristics. They are arranged here in chronological order on separate detail sheets and then analyzed below in relation to the subject. Unless otherwise noted, they sold for cash or terms equivalent and did not require adjustment for cash equivalency. 12 13 LAND SALE #1 Location: West side Belcher Road approximately 650’ south of Nebraska Avenue, Palm Harbor Legal Description: Block 122, Town of Sutherland unrecorded subdivision, Plat Book 1, Page 1, Less north 100’ of east 217’ and Belcher Road taking Date of Sale: December 2017 Sales Price: $975,000 Size: 480’ x 615’; 7.709 Acres MOL Price Per Lot: $69,643 Price PA: $126,476 Grantor/Grantee: Menorah Manor Senior Living, LLC./Gulfwind Contracting Recording Data: O.R. Book 19873, Page 0620 Sale Confirmed With: Klein and Hutchen Realty, Broker Zoning: R-1 Single-family RS – Residential Suburban Land Use, Pinellas County Comments: This heavily wooded site was dissected by an existing creek and adjacent preservation land area of 1.92 acres MOL. The clearing costs, bridge construction and irregular shape of the developable land resulted in extraordinary site development costs for this 14-lot subdivision where lots ranged in size from 10,266 to 22,422 SF and averaged roughly 13,800 SF. The developer also constructed a privacy wall along Belcher with the entrance located at the southern boundary that bordered a Pinellas County storm retention pond for the roadway. The site had been purchased by the grantor for a mid-rise ALF that was objected to by the neighbors. 14 LAND SALE #2 Location: 93 Lexington Drive, Dunedin north of Union Street Legal Description: Lot 16, Highland Estates Plat Book 49, Page 45 together with the N/4 of W/2 of SW/4 of SE/4, Section 35, Township 28 South, Range 15 East Date of Sale: January, 2018 Sale Price: $600,000 Size: 5.2 Acres MOL, Single Lot 9 Plus 5 Acres Price Per Lot: $30,000 Price PA: $115,385 Grantor: T. Prociuk Estate/Belleair Grande L.P. Recording Data: O.R. Book 19914, Page 0360 Sale Confirmed With: C. Whaley, Broker Zoning: Single-family, 5 acre maximum, Dunedin Comments: This was a former residence on acreage with a single-family platted lot as access. The platted lots were smaller with average valued residences with adjacent lands being low-rise condos and a power company transfer station to the east. The site was acquired for a 20-lot subdivision of 57.5’ x 130’ lots with a former onsite pond used partially for storm retention. The property was on the market at a low price due to the urgency of the estate to liquidate the property with the former house of no value. The site was not in a flood zone. 15 LAND SALE #3 Location: Southwest corner of Belcher and Alderman Roads, Palm Harbor Legal Description: Lot 33, Tampa and Tarpon Springs Land Co.

Recording Data: O.R. Book 21311, Page 2334 Sale Confirmed With: R. Byrzak, Grantor Rep. Zoning: US 19 Regional Center Zoning/Land Use Comments: This site comprises part wetlands (0.29 acres) plus a municipal wellhead site located in the southern 250’ of the main parcel. Both roadway frontage parcels provide vehicle access off narrow residential roadways neither having traffic lights on the heavily traveled six-lane Gulf To Bay Boulevard (SR #60). The property was purchased for development of a 14,262 SF Office building plus supporting paved parking for use by a regional office builder seeking proximity to major traffic corridors. The central part of the site has a natural minor stream that will allow a positive storm outfall under Gulf To Bay Boulevard to Tampa Bay. Surrounding uses are primarily low density residential, a modern MHP to the north and retail along Gulf To Bay Boulevard. The zoning allows a multitude of high intensity uses for retail, office and multi-family to a 2.5 maximum FAR. Drainage/utility easements border the property but did not interfere with the proposed improvements located near the northern site boundary. At this point in time, the proximate retail sales fronting Gulf To Bay Boulevard had sold in the $25.00-$30.00 PSF range for ½ acre sizes and an 8.33 acre parcel off McMullen- Booth Road at Union Street for ALF use had sold at $3,450,000/$9.53 PSF. 17 LAND SALE #5 Location: 697 Klosterman Road, north side 142’ east of Disston Avenue, Tarpon Springs Legal Description: Lots 30-31, Less the W 142’, Tampa and Tarpon Springs Land Company Subdivision, Plat Book 1, Page 116 Date of Sale: February 2021 Sale Price: $3,650,000 Size: 15.3 Acres MOL Price Per Lot: $73,000 Price PA: $238,562 Grantor/Grantee: R.

Dyer, Broker Land Use: RDP, Residential Planned Development, Tarpon Springs, R-L Land Use Comments: This vacant sandhill acreage was acquired for the development of the 50- lot Eagle Creek Subdivision that included 50’ wide lots having 5,470 SF minimum and 40’ street rights-of-way. This fill dirt was sold by the developer offsite that decreased infrastructure development costs. The RPD zoning allowed for greater density than traditional single-family. The parcel is just east of Belcher Road near US Highway 19 and directly across from the SPC College campus. The initial contract was signed in mid-2020 with development approval in Fall 2020 and a closing in early 2021. This site was not located in a flood zone. 18 LAND SALE #6 Location: SE corner Jasmine Avenue and Melon Street, Tarpon Springs Legal Description: Lots 3 and 4, less road R/W on north, official map of the Town of Tarpon Springs, plat Book H4, Page 79 plus south 268’ of N 303’ of the W/2 of vacant Camelia Avenue lying east and SW of the total parcel.

Ross/City Of Tarpon Springs Recording Data: O.R. Book 22408, Page 2283 Data Confirmed With: R. Robertson, City Representative Land Use: R-100, Single-Family, RL - Residential Low Land Use, Tarpon Springs Comments: This heavily wooded acreage parcel is surrounded by single-family residences within a popular suburban area just off the Gulf of Mexico. This site had a narrow shape which prevented double-loaded streets with a recent layout yielding seven lots. The buyer’s primary motivation was to secure the open drainage ditch west adjacent by a perpetual drainage easement and then for open space parkland use for the proximate residents. A price was established by two appraisals with the $700,000 being the basic average. 20 Land Sale Re-Cap Chart Sale # Date Of Sale Sales Price Site Size In Acres # Of Lots Price Per Acre Price Per Lot 1 12/17 $ 975,000 7.709 14 $126,476 $ 69,643 2 1/18 $ 600,000 5.2 20 $115,385 $ 30,000 3 10/20 $2,120,000 9.45 30 $224,339 $ 70,667 4 12/20 $ 655,000 5.68 N/A $115,317 -- 5 2/21 $3,650,000 15.3 50 $238,562 $ 73,000 6 9/21 $ 630,000 5.18 18 $150,718 $ 35,000 7 4/23 $ 700,000 3.51 7 $199,430 $100,000 Subject -- -- 3.4 10-11 -- -- LAND SALES ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS: This is the best available known data to value the subject as in this general locale, there has not been an active land acreage market for the past several years. Land Sale #1 is dated in late 2017 but is shown due to the meandering creek that resulted in additional development costs that would likely be excessive for the subject that includes two alternate access points that would likely offset the creek impact. This example has a superior location in relation to the subject and includes larger lots with a lower zoning density. The subsequent Sale #3 has a proximate similar location to Sale #1 but was developed into smaller lot sizes that would match the likely best use for the subject. This sale, however, had no wetland/creek issues and allowed a more efficient layout than the subject with a prime main road frontage location (-25%) that is notably superior to the subject. The main roadway location provides a window type effect that attracts the larger national builders as partially offset by the subject parkland. As such, the PA and per lot prices would require downward adjustment in relation to the subject. Sale #2 has a tucked-away location similar to the subject in a reasonably comparable market. It was discounted due to the urgency of the estate heirs seeking a fast sale transaction and otherwise does not have the parkland benefit nor drainage issues similar to the subject. Overall, this parcel is somewhat inferior to the subject. 21 Sale #4 is also an example of a proximate parcel having a meandering natural creek that heavily restricted this parcels use. It also included a municipal wellhead enclosed by restrictions and had access from two secondary roadways off Gulf To Bay Boulevard. These physical restrictions were far greater than the subject while the parcel had the US 19 zoning regulations that had extensive use alternatives. This is not a good direct comparison but illustrates the discount related to a creek and other site restrictions that impact the subject. The subject parkland impact is a positive subject feature. Sale #5 is near #3 but notably larger with a main road location near the SPC Campus just off US 19. The site also benefited from excess site fill that would lower the development costs. Overall, this site is superior in all regards with the SPC Campus offsetting the subject parkland impact. Sale #6 had no creek impact but is located adjacent to numerous activity centers including a public cemetery that would be somewhat superior to the subject location. It also has an active roadway frontage near public recreation use that would offset the subject parkland impact. Sale #7 has a superior market location in terms of pricing of proximate residences and has a similar tucked-away location. The narrow shape also restricts the private residential usage where the lack of public parkland was a secondary purchase motivation. The price metric was considered to have inflated the ultimate price level. After review of this best available data and considering the re-surgent strong demand for small lot residential acreage within an otherwise high intensity district, I would value the subject in the $150,000-$175,000 PA range or $55,000-$60,000 per lot or a rounded $57,500. 3.4 Acre @ $150,000 PA = $510,000 3.4 Acre @ $175,000 PA = $595,000 ROUNDED TO $575,000 22 10 Lots @ $57,500 Per Lot = $575,000 11 Lots @ $57,500 Per Lot = $632,500 ROUNDED TO $600,000 In spite of the positive parkland impact, the site development issues more than offset the benefit while the land scarcity would yield a value near the top of the likely range at a rounded $600,000. The general land market remains inconsistent from location to location with the PA price range from $115,317-$238,562 with a $167,175 average. ADDENDA 2 QUALIFICATIONS OF THE APPRAISER JAMES M.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ID#23-1433 Agenda Date: 11/13/2023 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Public Works Agenda Number: 5.1 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Approve professional service agreement with Broaddus and Associates, Inc., of Austin, TX, to provide Owners Representative services for the new City Hall project (22-0019-EN) in the amount of $1,105,181 pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 54-23 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent) SUMMARY: With an aging City Hall, constructed in 1964, and a city that has changed considerably since 1964, the City has been investigating the need for upgraded infrastructure. The need has become more pressing in recent years, as asbestos and structural challenges forced the City to vacate the old City Hall. The building has since been demolished, and the site is slated for private redevelopment. In September 2022, pursuant to RFQ 24-22, the City Council approved Wannemacher Jensen Architects (WJA) to design a new facility. In June 2023, WJA presented the City Council with three options. The Council unanimously selected the site plan that combines a renovation of the City’s existing municipal services building (MSB) with a new building located on the city-owned parcel immediately south of MSB. WJA referred to this site plan as Option #2. This site plan is estimated to save approximately $31 million compared with the cost of a new stand-alone facility that would have replaced the MSB. The Council has also expressed support for naming the new facility after the City’s long-time City Manager, William B. Horne. This item requests approval to engage an Owner’s Representative (OR) for oversight of the design and construction of the William B. Horne City Hall and the renovation of the existing MSB. An experienced OR firm brings expertise in cost control, schedule management, value engineering, and oversight of all stakeholders and processes throughout design, construction, and commissioning. The OR will maximize the City’s investment, ensure adherence to Greenprint 2.0, and supervise the construction of a safe and high-quality facility for citizens and for staff. Following a robust and competitive procurement process, staff recommends the Council approve Broaddus & Associates (B&A) as the OR firm. B&A brings extensive experience in supervising City Hall construction projects across America. They also bring an impressive record of cost savings and cost avoidance initiatives that currently total more than $130 million across $5.5B in ongoing projects. The $130 million represents 127% of their OR fee in the aggregate. Moreover, they clearly identified and explained the detailed processes used during all project phases to minimize delays, cost overruns, and potential conflicts. Their local project manager is ready to integrate with City staff immediately, allowing B&A to add value long before construction begins. They are committed to streamlining the decision-making process, maintaining transparency, and efficiently resolving any conflicts that may arise during design and construction.

In addition to the articulated value added by the enlistment of an OR, due to current vacancies in the Engineering Division, an OR will help provide the proper level of project management support that cannot currently be provided internally. This will offset a portion of the project budget estimated for internal Engineering management.

Sustainability means different things to different people. Some people might think of recycling, and others might think of solar panels or growing their own organic food. What is sustainability, really? The United Nations defined the word sustainability in 1987 as the ability to, “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In essence, sustainability is about helping the people of today and people of tomorrow meet their needs. Sustainable communities work with and within nature. They use resources that can be renewed, and attempt to reduce waste, reuse materials, and find ways to safely return resources back to the environment. Sustainable communities also make plans and decisions that balance the three parts of a triple bottom line: economic prosperity, environmental quality, and human quality of life. If we think about sustainability in terms of a triple bottom line, we realize that it is not an unfamiliar concept. For most of our history, humans have lived in a way that had minimal impact on the world’s natural resources. However, over the course of the last century, we have caused large-scale declines in the quality of water, air, and soil, and devastated animal and plant species worldwide. Since communities depend on natural resources to maintain a prosperous economy and good quality of life, working hard to preserve the integrity of the environment helps ensure our communities’ continued prosperity. Why Sustainability? Recent human actions such as unchecked pollution and mass deforestation have negatively impacted the climate and degraded natural ecosystems causing high rates of species extinction, global temperature increase, rising seas, and dying coral reefs. Scientists expect Americans to experience more severe heat waves, droughts, flooding, wildfires, and hurricanes in the future if we continue with current trends in fossil fuel usage. Studies show that these impacts will afflict our economy, strain our natural resources, and worsen inequalities for many Americans. These are only a fraction of the negative impacts stemming from climate change, but they speak to the urgency of countering its effects. Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 A community plan for sustainability Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 8 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Despite all this, we have only recently begun to take action. Thankfully, local governments and community residents can contribute to a solution to the climate change problem by building low-carbon communities which are not dependent on carbon intensive resources. Cities use 75% of the world’s energy and produce 80% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Though this fact may not seem like a positive thing at first, it means that the collective actions of cities, including the city of Clearwater, will result in an appreciable reduction in the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The city of Clearwater has an opportunity to set an example for other cities and have a positive impact on the world. Sustainability isn’t just about the planet, it’s about people. Sustainable communities are stronger communities. In addition to addressing climate change, being a sustainable community has other important benefits such as: 1. Saving Money The city of Clearwater spent over seven million dollars in 2018 on energy to power buildings and streetlights. Many of the measures in Greenprint 2.0 “pay for themselves” quickly by reducing direct costs, such as fuel or energy used, as well as indirect costs such as maintenance. For instance, a “right-sized” vehicle fleet is less expensive to purchase and fuel, while also being less costly to maintain. Encouraging energy efficiency, public transit use, building improvements, and other measures will also result in lower energy and water bills for residents and employers. The economy benefits by reducing the amount of money each person spends on energy and water. This money can instead be used at local businesses, supporting the city of Clearwater’s economy. Acting now will also save on runaway costs on climate change—especially in the long term. These costs range from infrastructure damage in extreme storms and pest control, to industry losses, particularly for industries that depend on environmental conditions, such as tourism. 2. Creating Jobs New green sectors such as sustainable tourism, green construction, and urban agriculture provide additional job opportunities in growing economic sectors. These activities can spur business and job growth through the design, manufacturing, and installation of energy efficient technologies, presenting a special opportunity to reinvest in the local economy and generate green jobs. For example, a 2019 Environmental Entrepreneurs’ report estimated that the solar industry employed nearly 335,000 workers. Solar professions within the United States have increased 167% over the past decade according to the National Solar Jobs Census and Florida leads the nation for the number of jobs added. 3. Improving Public Health Our health improves with cleaner air and water and more time spent outside engaging in physical activities such as walking and biking. Sustainable changes, including using different modes of transportation, helps clean the air and improve public health by reducing Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 9 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 vehicle emissions. Improvements that promote alternative transportation also give Clearwater residents more options for getting around. When combined with other activities like redevelopment of underutilized properties, these improvements create more vibrant, livable community with shorter commute times and more opportunities for active transport. Sustainable changes create equitable access to amenities for residents living in low-income areas across the country. Many of these low-income areas lack the trees and greenery that create shade and improve the appearance of more affluent neighborhoods. Residents of these low-income areas also have a higher likelihood of living in or near areas covered in dark surfaces. The overabundance of blacktop causes residents to suffer more from summer heat, leading to higher health costs. What is Resilience? Community resilience is defined as, “a measure of the sustained ability of a community to utilize available resources to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations.” Therefore, a resilient community is one that can face a challenge and still retain its essential function. “Sustainability” and “resilience” are qualities of a community that complement each other. While sustainability focuses on having a brighter future, resilience is all about adapting to the different stressors we face now. Whether it’s a natural disaster, sea-level rise or a drastic change in economy, a resilient community is one that can anticipate and positively adapt to changing conditions. Why Resilience? 1. Creating Proactive Communities Resilience transforms reactive communities into proactive communities. Rather than solely developing plans to deal with the aftermath or a natural disaster or economic downturn, resilient communities develop measures to prevent massive disruptions from harming its people and systems. While Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 focuses on resilience through the lens of climate adaptation, resilience is a practice that can be implemented in all aspects of an organization. 2. Promoting Energy Stability The farther energy travels from its source, the more energy that is wasted. Most electrical power in Clearwater is currently supplied by Duke Energy. The closest energy source for Clearwater is a fossil fuel power plant approximately 15 miles away near Holiday. This creates an opportunity to improve energy efficiency by generating more energy locally. Renewable energy can be generated in many ways including through the power of the sun, wind, and water. Installing solar panels on homes and businesses reduces energy waste since energy generated does not need to travel far from its source before it is used. Renewable energy is also a sustainable solution to the problem of meeting energy needs in times when energy is in high demand or unavailable from far away powerplants. This means Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 10 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 that on hot summer days, and in the aftermath of major storms, renewable energy can keep lights on and air conditioning running within the homes, businesses, and municipal facilities of Clearwater. 3. Ensuring Food Security Like energy, transportation of food over long distances results in waste and negative environmental impacts. Currently, nearly all of Clearwater’s food is imported from elsewhere. The city’s resiliency can be improved by producing more food locally to reduce inefficiencies caused by transporting food over long distances. Local food production also protects against service disruptions caused by a variety of factors, including the effects of climate change, economic change and political conflict. 4. Establishing Economic Security The Fourth National Climate Assessment estimates the costs of climate change in the United States could total more than $2 trillion a year by the end of this century. Much of this cost results from the damage intense storms and flooding are expected to inflict on infrastructure and private property. Adopting resilient solutions saves cities a significant amount of money on future energy, water, and infrastructure needs. This is due to the increased ability of these systems to adapt or withstand future climate stressors, which are events, trends or conditions that result from climate change that can magnify hazards. Resilient communities face fewer system failures and costly repairs. Innovative cooling technologies and adaptions further cut energy bills while the benefits these innovations bring to health and livability are expected to compound over time. While cities drive the national economy, small businesses drive the local economy. Small businesses make up 99.7% of all US employers. Small businesses are threatened by the effects of climate change and the increasing number of disaster events. Small firms are especially challenged by disaster events, as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce notes that 43% of small businesses do not recover from natural disasters. Let’s Learn from Each Other The complex problems of climate change affect each municipality differently. Therefore, detailed insights about current conditions and prospective solutions from citizens and stakeholders is critical in the process of identifying and implementing effective measures for adaptation and mitigation. Clearwater can provide invaluable guidance on the concrete impacts of proposed remedies—parsing out measures that will provide the greatest benefit from those that can only offer marginal relief. Figure 2.1 The impact of local actions Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 11 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Where Are We Coming From? Clearwater Greenprint was adopted in 2011 through the collaboration of residents, businesses, and the City. Clearwater Greenprint creates a vision to make Clearwater a vibrant community for everyone who lives here now and for generations to come. Figure 2.2.- Clearwater Greenprint timeline graphic Reducing the city’s greenhouse gas emissions was determined to be the number one goal of Clearwater Greenprint. Why? Because The current over-abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activity is a major contributor to climate change and closely related to other environmental concerns within the city of Clearwater. Large amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are known to worsen sea-level rise, drought, flooding and so on. It is critical that we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to ensure that Clearwater remains a great place to live, work and visit. Measuring Our Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs) In addition to being caused by human activities, climate change also occurs because of the earth’s natural cycles. For example, the amount of the best-known greenhouse gas, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), in the northern hemisphere changes from one season to the next as plants undergo cycles of growth. Despite this, scientists have observed an enduring upward trend in greenhouse gases that are attributed solely to ongoing human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, commercial animal agriculture, and land development. In fact, about half of all carbon dioxide emitted between 1750 and 2010 occurred in the last 40 years. Therefore, even though the natural greenhouse effect is needed to keep the earth warm, the consensus among publishing climate scientists (97% in agreement according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is that the accelerated rate at which humans are producing GHGs causes global warming and climate change. Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 12 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 The 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), was written by a panel of hundreds of climate experts and scientists and was approved by a team of external reviewers. The report states unambiguously that anthropogenic (human- made) GHG emissions are causing global climate change. For this reason, the city of Clearwater is joining an increasing number of local governments committed to addressing climate change at the local level. The city of Clearwater recognizes the risk climate change poses to its residents and business owners. The city is actively acting to reduce the GHG emissions, or “carbon footprint”, of both its government operations and the community at-large through innovative programs laid out in Clearwater Greenprint. Furthermore, it is recognized that Clearwater needs to address existing climate risks, such as sea level rise and temperature increase, and adapt its systems and infrastructure to new conditions. With more than 80% of Americans living in urban areas, cities play a powerful role in addressing climate change. Adjusting the design of cities—how we use our land, how we design our buildings, how we get around—greatly impacts the amount of energy we use and the volume of GHG emissions we produce. Cities such as Clearwater can demonstrate that it is possible to dramatically reduce GHG emissions while creating vibrant and prosperous places to live by making appropriate and manageable adjustments. The city of Clearwater first began monitoring its GHG emissions in 2007. It conducted a follow-up study in 2018. The following subsections summarize the results of both studies and compare city emissions levels over the span of approximately 10 years. 2007 GHG Emission Levels The city took its first step in improving its carbon footprint in 2011 by calculating its community- wide GHG emissions. The study was based off of the city’s 2007 GHG levels. In 2007, city-wide greenhouse gas emissions totaled 1,295,619 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e). Emissions from energy consumption and transportation fuels were the largest contributors to the city-wide greenhouse gas inventory (65% and 30%, respectively). Solid waste contributed 5% while the city’s water and waste-water operations accounted for 0.1% of emissions. The average GHG emissions per capita was 11.72 MTCO2e based on the city's 2007 population of 110,469. Based on these 2007 levels, GHG emissions were forecasted for 2035. It was projected that if city continued with “business as usual”, city-wide emissions would grow by 4% to 1,347,443 MTCO2e by 2035. Figure 2.3.- 2007 Emissions chart Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 13 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Initial Clearwater Greenprint Goals The City established two emission reduction goals based on the GHG inventory results: 1. Reduce city-wide greenhouse gas emissions 10% below 2007 levels by the year 2020 2. Reduce city-wide greenhouse gas emissions 25% below 2007 levels by the year 2035 The original Clearwater Greenprint was created to reach these emission reduction goals. The plan included real strategies that the city, businesses and local residents could bring into their daily lives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These strategies were selected to help create a sustainable community by making buildings and transportation systems more energy-efficient, maintaining a healthy local economy, creating “green” jobs, reducing waste, and encouraging shoppers and restaurants to buy locally grown foods. Since 2011, the city has made significant progress towards its initial sustainability goals. Many of the original Clearwater Greenprint Plan strategies have been completed or are in progress. A Sustainability Coordinator was hired to facilitate fulfillment of the Greenprint strategies and ensure that the city’s sustainability goals are reached. In 2021, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard signed on as a Climate Mayor. The Climate Mayors group is a network of U.S. mayors who work together to address climate change by creating meaningful actions in their own communities. 2018 GHG Emission Levels A second GHG inventory was conducted in 2019 using 2018 data to track the City's progress toward its 2020 climate goals. According to the inventory, the community-wide GHG emissions for 2018 were 1,128,690 MTCO2e, 12.9% below its 2007 levels. Together, we achieved our first goal! Like 2007, emissions from energy use and transportation fuels continued to be the largest contributors to the city-wide GHG inventory. However, emissions from energy consumption decreased from 65% in 2007 to 59% in 2018, while emissions from transportation fuels increased from 30% to 38%. This is thought to be a result of Duke Energy increasing its reliance upon renewable energy and natural gas which decreased emissions for the city of Figure 2.4. Climate Mayors logo Figure 2.5.- 2018 Emissions chart Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 14 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Clearwater. Solid waste emissions were reduced from 5% of the 2007 inventory to 3.3% of the 2018 inventory. The city’s waste-water operations continued to have a marginal effect on the city’s total emissions, reducing from 0.13% of the 2007 inventory to 0.12% of the 2018 inventory. Where Are We Going? Based on the city's population of 116,478 in 2018, average GHG emissions per person were 9.69 MTCO2e. Based on the 2018 levels, Clearwater's community-wide emissions were forecasted for the next three decades. Figure 2.3.- Clearwater Business as Usual / Duke Renewable Energy & Carbon Neutral Goals Not Included; Projected CO2e Values Under this "business as usual" scenario, in which Clearwater does not make or experience any major changes to its emissions, the community's total greenhouse gas emissions would stand at nearly 1.1 million MTCO2e by 2035, increasing to over 1.2 million MTCO2e by 2050. This is largely due to the increased number of miles traveled by automobile per person. However, in 2019 Duke Energy announced its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. To achieve carbon neutrality, the utility company will shift its electricity energy sources away from coal and towards lower-carbon energy solutions. If this goal was to be achieved by Duke Energy, Clearwater's greenhouse gas emissions would fall to roughly 972,000 MTCO2e Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 15 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 in 2035 and further to 823,000 MTCO2e in 2050. This decrease would occur even if the city did not pursue further greenhouse gas reduction measures of its own. Figure 2.4.- Clearwater Business as Usual / Duke Renewable Energy & Carbon Neutral Goals Included; Projected CO2e Values with Reductions Applied In December of 2015, 197 countries, including the United States signed onto the historic Paris Climate Agreement. The overarching goal of this international climate accord is to limit global warming to well below 2° Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. Though the United States temporarily withdrew from the agreement in 2020, the nation rejoined in 2021. In the years since the announcement to withdraw from the accord, local implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement has been a focus for local governments nationwide—including the city of Clearwater. The decision to rejoin the accord bolsters the city’s ongoing GHG reduction efforts and opens the door to opportunities for much-needed federal aid. With new, more ambitious GHG reduction goals, Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 is anticipated to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions to under 260,000 MTCO2e by 2050. Envision Our Future Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 has two overarching Goals: • Reduce the city’s GHG emissions 25% below 2007 levels by 2035 and; • Reduce the city’s GHG emissions 80% below 2007 emission levels by 2050 Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 16 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 And also seeks to accomplish the following Objectives: • Transform Clearwater into a community where people walk, bike, take transit, or carpool for most trips in a safe, accessible and affordable transportation network. • Make Clearwater a leader in clean and local renewable energy opportunities. • Transform our buildings into high-performing places to live, work, learn and play. • Inspire community action and ensure environmental justice and equity as we transition to a lower carbon, more sustainable community. • Create a thriving urban agriculture community in order to increase the local knowledge and abundance of healthy, sustainable food. • Become a leader in sustainable, smart transportation through innovative partnerships, policies, programs and technology. • Understand potential climate-related risks and mitigate these risks while preparing our community to chronic and extreme weather events. The following lists the targets Clearwater Greenprint aims for in order to maintain a competitive, vibrant, and green Clearwater for future generations, while improving the quality of life for those who live here today. Often, world problems can seem so daunting. But positive change is possible. And maybe it’s not from one person doing a big thing but from many people doing small things. Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu, stated “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Greenprint invites you to find your “single step” and run with it. We are each essential to creating a sustainable city. Together, we can go far.

Document Structure The diagram shown below outlines the document structure of Clearwater Greenprint 2.0. Some of the components of the plan, namely goals and targets have already been defined. Core Topics and Strategies are defined in the sections below. Figure 3.5.- Document hierarchy diagram Core Topics Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 contains the same eight topics found in the original Clearwater Greenprint plan. These eight topics were identified as areas in which the city can achieve greenhouse gas reductions and cost savings: • Education and Awareness, • Green Energy & Buildings, • Transportation, • Livability, • Water Conservation, • Waste Reduction, • Local Food, and • Green Economy. How to read Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 20 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Strategies The Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 includes measurable and achievable strategies that the city, businesses, and residents can incorporate into their daily lives to accomplish each target outlined in the previous section. In this document, strategies provide the foundation for addressing sustainability issues over a 30-year planning period and beyond. The strategies focus on actions that can be implemented at the local level over the span of 0-5 years (short-term), 6-10 years (medium-term) and 11-30 years (long-term). The Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 is intended to be a framework for specific action with built-in flexibility for timing and emphasis. Each Strategy corresponds to a Core Topic. For example, the “Community Education” Strategy is presented under the “Education and Awareness” Core Topic. Green Glossary Each of us has a different level of understanding and exposure when it comes to the environment, sustainability, and government functions. In order to make Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 accessible to everyone, a Green Glossary is provided at the beginning of the document. Words in green can be found there with an explanation. Mitigation and Adaptation The city of Clearwater is already experiencing effects of climate change. The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was the busiest ever recorded with 31 tropical cyclones. The same year, the state of Florida experienced record-breaking temperatures for six months of the same year. Water levels in Tampa Bay have also increased nearly eight inches over the last 60 years. Reducing community GHG emissions is climate mitigation, meaning it will reduce the negative impacts of climate change in the future. Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 also considers climate adaptation, the need to address the climate hazards that Clearwater already experiences in order to make the city resilient. Climate adaptation is a form of risk management. Current hazards, like increased heat, sea levels and precipitation levels, are magnified by climate change and the city needs to plan accordingly. As such, Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 proposes climate change mitigation strategies that support adaptation and avoid those that may contribute to anticipated climate change impacts. Equity and Inclusion Equity and inclusion components are interwoven throughout this document. Low-income populations, communities of color, people with disabilities, elders, refugees, immigrants, and other frontline communities often bear the brunt of climate impacts. Even worse, these communities often go without the necessary infrastructure and support systems to manage climate impacts and frequently do not receive any of the benefits of a clean and sustainable future. Inequity correlates with greater vulnerability to physical challenges, making many in Clearwater disproportionately at risk from the impacts of natural disasters and climate Welcome to Clearwater Greenprint ( Page 21 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 change. Creating a resilient community entails addressing the social inequities that cause disparities in health outcomes, income, educational attainment, and more. Emissions Reduction Potential Calculating expected GHG emissions reductions for each mitigation strategy requires making assumptions about degree of implementation, technology, and individual behavioral changes several years into the future. Since the desired GHG emissions reductions have yet to occur, other measurable factors are used to predict their outcomes. The strategies discussed in this report are the predictive factors, and the symbols shown below represent their respective impacts on GHG reductions and Target Timeline items. The symbols distinguish between strategies with low potential impact, medium potential impact, and high potential impact on the Clearwater’s GHG reduction goals. Strategies with an unknown impact are assigned their own symbol as well. This “unknown potential impact” symbol is used in cases where is difficult to gauge how certain tactics, like education and the localization of resources, will be embraced and acted upon. Low Potential Impact Medium Potential Impact High Potential Impact Unknown/Undefined Potential Impact Strategy Status Indicators Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 includes a combination of existing policies and programs as well as new ideas based on best practices locally and nationwide. The document notes whether a Strategy is currently ongoing, in-progress or not yet started. There are a few Strategies from the first Clearwater Greenprint plan that are no longer goals. These strategies will be listed in Appendix IV alongside an explanation as to why they are no longer included in the city’s plan. Learn More!

Raising community awareness with compelling and useful information about the importance of sustainability is vital. In addition to understanding the benefits of sustainability on Clearwater’s environment, it is important to demonstrate that sustainability will result in improved human health and happiness, economic advancement, and a greater sense of community overall. To achieve this awareness, the city will create and provide information to educate and involve Clearwater citizens in green best practices and programs. The city will incorporate Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 strategies and initiatives into its ongoing communications activities, creating opportunities to encourage responsibility and foster participation in making Clearwater a sustainable community. Opportunities for education and awareness can be realized by creating venues for different groups to work together. These include neighborhood associations, organizations, schools, businesses, utilities, and government agencies.

Designated city staff will pursue ongoing education and will maintain certifications pertaining to green project design. In addition, staff will integrate sustainable practices into daily operations while serving as ambassadors and educators for city sustainability programs and projects through their interaction with the public. Clearwater staff will also be encouraged to engage personally with the city’s sustainability efforts. Specifically, they will be encouraged to use fewer single-use plastics through distribution of reusable water bottles to all employees, and review Clearwater’s commitment to the environment during new employee orientation. 5.6.- Continuous Reporting A. Continuously measure, evaluate, and address both mitigation and adaptation progress in accordance with ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, USA Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Sustainability is an ongoing process. Communities must celebrate their successes while continuing to pursue further emission reductions and resilience improvements. While Clearwater has already begun to reduce GHG emissions and climate risk through a variety of actions, it must continuously measure, evaluate, and address both mitigation and adaptation progress. Thankfully, two approaches to achieve this ongoing work have been Education and Awareness ( Page 29 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 developed by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). These are known as the Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation. Figure 1 Five Milestones for Climate Mitigation Figure 2 Five Milestones for Climate Adaptation Furthermore, tracking the success of existing and future green initiatives is a vitally important component of Clearwater Greenprint. To lead by example, the city will continue to highlight its green initiatives and report the associated benefits. Environmental, economic, and social metrics will be collected and reported. The benefits, costs, and lessons learned of the various efforts will be shared with the Clearwater community as well as other local governments through the Sustainability & Resilience website. Furthermore, the city will commit to conducting a GHG inventory every two years to assess progress. 5.7.- Resilience Planning and Outreach A. Form a Resilience Committee comprised of city staff and community partners. B. Initiate a vulnerability assessment throughout the Clearwater area to identify the factors most at risk to climate change stressors. C. Formulate a Climate Action Plan to address each of the vulnerabilities identified and further direct the city’s resilience work. COBENEFITS: Education and Awareness ( Page 30 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Becoming a resilient community requires climate adaptation measures. According to the Fourth National Climate Assessment, climate adaptation has five general stages: 1. Awareness, 2. Assessment, 3. Planning, 4. Implementation, and 5. Monitoring and Evaluation. The city will begin with Stage 1 and form a Resilience Committee to increase resilience planning and awareness throughout Clearwater. The committee will be comprised of city staff and community partners, such as teachers, neighborhood leaders, artists, and financial and insurance industry representatives who can explain financial risks. The committee will be responsible for creating an educational outreach and communications program to raise awareness of climate change risks and emergency preparedness in our residents and business owners. The Resilience Committee will also be responsible for initiating vulnerability assessments throughout the Clearwater area to identify the factors most at risk to climate change stressors. From these assessments, a Climate Action Plan will be pursued to address these vulnerabilities and further direct the city’s resilience work. This plan could be included as a section in the next Clearwater Greenprint edition.

Today, the effects of conventional energy sources on our global and local environments is better understood. Reducing the amount of energy used through efficiency improvements to existing buildings and the development of new buildings to high-performance standards, coupled with shifting to renewable energy sources, is now recognized as one of the most important actions needed to create a more sustainable community and future. Electricity continues to be the biggest contributor to our community-wide GHG emissions, with most of that electricity being used for the lighting, heating and cooling of buildings. Clearwater purchases all electricity from Duke Energy, a private utility company. As of 2017, Duke Energy relied on fossil fuels (i.e., coal and natural gas) to generate 61.7% of the electricity it produced. Nuclear energy accounted for 33.7% of the remaining electricity, while wind and solar accounted for 3.9%. Making a positive impact on the city’s energy use is a community effort and will require the participation of residents, businesses, and institutions alike. Each can reduce energy use by implementing such measures as attic insulation, duct leak repair, replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED light bulbs and upgrading air conditioning units, windows, and appliances to more efficient ones. In addition to reducing the amount of energy used, it is also important to find opportunities for renewable energy. Without action, the community will continue to rely on fossil fuels, leading to significant increases in energy costs and GHG emissions over the next 25 years. With Clearwater being a mostly developed city, the potential for renewable energy expansion will rely on the installation of smaller systems distributed across the city as opposed to large-scale centralized plants.

Photo Credit: City of Clearwater Green Energy and Building ( Page 36 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.1.- PACE – Energy Finance Program A. Partner with public and private organizations to establish an energy finance program. Many properties in Clearwater can reduce energy use significantly through minor improvements, such as adding insulation, high-efficiency appliances (e.g., water heater) and high-efficiency lighting. Properties can also generate a percentage of their electricity use through installation of renewable energy systems. This includes solar and geothermal systems which run on thermal energy found below the earth’s surface. While basic energy efficiency improvements are the most economical way to reduce energy use, property owners may be discouraged by up-front investment costs. The city will partner with public and private organizations to establish an energy finance program that provides commercial property owners with long-term, low-interest loans for energy improvements. The program would target older, inefficient commercial and industrial buildings and prioritize retrofits that result in cost savings that exceed, or at least offset, the original investment. Loan payments will be assessed to the property tax bill (e.g., Property Assessed Clean Energy) so that the loan is assigned to the property instead of the property owner. 6.2.- Resource Conservation Program A. Develop and implement a program the performs comprehensive energy evaluations, recommends conservation practices and upgrades, provides basic information on financing options, and measures the environmental and economic benefits after implementation. Commercial and industrial properties are responsible for more than half of the electricity use in the city. With the help of private companies and educational organizations, the city will develop and implement a program that performs comprehensive energy evaluations, recommends conservation practices and upgrades, provides basic information on financing options, and tracks the environmental and economic benefits after implementation. Program Green Energy and Building ( Page 37 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 partners, such as local vendors and utilities, could offer discounted products to incentivize improvements that increase resource conservation. 6.3.- Incentives for Upgrades A. Implement a “feebate” program. Major renovations on commercial buildings in Clearwater provide a great opportunity to improve existing buildings with energy efficiency improvements. To encourage both improvements on existing buildings and building preservation, the city will implement a “feebate” program, a self-financing system of fees and rebates that would reward developers that renovate buildings to a nationally recognized high-performance standard using fees charged to developers that do not. 6.4.- Performance Standards A. Encourage and assist developers in incorporating green building practices and standards into their design, construction, maintenance and operations plans. B. Encourage the use of national building performance standards. During redevelopment projects, the city will work with and encourage developers to incorporate green building practices and standards into their design, construction, and maintenance and operation plans. For example, a builder could construct solar-ready homes to facilitate installation of solar panels by the property owner. The city will encourage the use of national building performance standards, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Florida Green Building Coalition and Energy Star. Green Energy and Building ( Page 38 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.5.- Natural Gas Conservation A. Continue offering programs by Clearwater Gas System to increase the number of residents and businesses using natural gas to power appliances in place of alternatives that produce more emissions upon combustion. Natural gas generally emits less CO2 during combustion than coal, gasoline, and propane. Lower CO2 emissions and widespread availability makes natural gas comparatively less environmentally harmful, and therefore, a preferable substitute where there isn’t sufficient infrastructure to support emission-free energy generation and distribution. Clearwater Gas System launched several programs to increase the number of residents and businesses that use natural gas to power appliances (e.g., water heaters and ranges). Clearwater Gas System will continue to offer these programs to provide natural gas as an alternative to standard electricity. It is worth noting that natural gas is itself a GHG and still produces CO2 upon combustion. Consequently, campaigns promoting use of natural gas will be paired with educational materials promoting energy efficiency and conservation. 6.6.- Local Power Generation A. Request proposals from private companies to design, build, install and operate small-scale energy generation facilities that can utilize available resources to generate electricity and/or heat. B. Set municipal renewable energy targets COBENEFITS On average, Clearwater receives 361 days of sunshine each year. That sunshine can be captured and used to generate energy through installation of photovoltaic (solar) systems. The city also has the potential to generate energy from a variety of local sources, including biogas from wastewater treatment facilities and biomass (i.e., yard and food waste). The city will request proposals from private companies to design, build, install and operate small- scale energy technologies that can utilize available resources to generate electricity and/or heat energy. The most viable technologies will generate energy at a competitive rate for the city while also reducing other sources of GHG such as those from solid waste and biogas. Green Energy and Building ( Page 39 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.7.- Renewable Energy Challenge A. Preparation of a marketing and outreach campaign challenging property owners to install renewable energy technologies. B. Support code changes that remove obstacles to installing renewable energy systems. C. Provide information to assist residents with purchasing renewable energy equipment. D. Include information about local, state, and federal incentives, economic and environmental benefits, contact information for local contractors, financing options. E. Create a website that allows the Clearwater community to submit property information and view addresses where renewable energy systems have been installed. COBENEFITS There is ample space for installing renewable energy systems (e.g., photovoltaic systems and geothermal) on already existing residential, commercial, industrial and city properties. The city will prepare a marketing and outreach campaign to challenge property owners to install renewable energy technologies. As part of the challenge, the city will strive to meet the goal by purchasing and installing renewable energy systems that are economically viable and that have the quickest return on investment. To assist residential, commercial, and industrial property owners in meeting the challenge, the city will support code changes that remove obstacles to installing renewable energy systems and provide information to assist the consumer in purchasing renewable energy equipment. Information may include local, state, and federal incentives, local contractors, economic and environmental benefits of the technology, potential ways to finance the systems and a website that allows the Clearwater community to view and post where installations have been made. Green Energy and Building ( Page 40 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.8.- Renewable Energy Finance A. Investigate financing mechanisms for expanding renewable energy generation. B. Launch a solar co-op program in which residents can coordinate bulk purchase of PV systems for reduced price. Aside from energy finance programs (Green Energy & Buildings Strategy #1), there are other public and private financing tools that can be used to lower up-front costs of renewable energy systems for property owners. The city will investigate various financing mechanisms for expanding renewable energy generation and share its findings with the community at large. Some financing mechanisms include clean renewable energy bonds, power purchase agreements, net metering, and bulk purchasing of renewable energy. The United States Internal Revenue Service administers the Clean Renewable Energy Bond program which provides funding to public organizations for renewable energy projects. Power Purchase Agreements are agreements between power producers and customers in this case, for the purchase of renewable energy. Net metering is a system in which solar panels or other renewable energy generators are connected to a public utility power grid and surplus power is transferred onto the grid allowing customers to offset the cost of power drawn from the utility. In 2020, the city enrolled in Duke Energy’s Clean Energy Connection program. The program will enable the city to receive 40% (11,284 kW) of its annual municipal electricity consumption from Duke’s solar systems starting in 2022. The city also partnered with Solar United Neighbors (SUN), a non-profit that enables residential groups to purchase photovoltaic systems at lower prices. By participating in the SUN Greater St. Pete Solar Co-op program, interested Clearwater residents joined with other Pinellas County residents to organize and purchase photovoltaic systems in bulk. This enables each household to receive the system at a significant reduction in price. The city will continue partnering with SUN to enable future solar co-ops across Clearwater. Another option that is available to residents is the Solar and Energy Loan Fund (SELF). SELF is a nonprofit organization that provides loans, project management and contractor vetting for home improvement options that improve energy efficiency, water conservation and storm preparedness. The organization prioritizes low- and moderate-income neighborhoods to achieve positive environmental impacts while reducing the costs of home ownership. The city will work to publicize the availability of SELF programs at events and in its publications. Green Energy and Building ( Page 41 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.9.- Energy-Efficient Streetlights A. Request conversion of all Duke Energy-owned electric streetlights to LED. Compared to conventional lighting, light emitting diode (LED) lighting can reduce energy use by 50% and requires less maintenance. Since 2015, the city has converted over 11 thousand streetlights to LED bulbs. All traffic signals, including pedestrian signals, now use LED lighting as well. With support from local governments such as Pinellas County and St. Petersburg, Clearwater will approach Duke to request conversion of the electric utility’s streetlights to LED lighting for lights that have yet to be converted. 6.10.- Municipal Energy Management Program & Policy A. Partner with a third-party company to create an energy savings program including staff training and web-based energy consumption tracking, and benchmarking for municipal buildings. B. Develop a formal energy management policy for city buildings and operations. Behavior change can go a long way when it comes to saving energy. The city will work with a third-party company to create an energy savings program for its facilities. This program will include staff training, web-based energy tracking of individual buildings and energy benchmarking. From this program, the city will develop a formal energy management policy for city buildings and operations with the intent to reduce electricity intensity (kilowatt-hours per square foot) an additional 10% below our 2019 levels by 2025. The policy will set reduction targets and dates, standardize operation practices (e.g., thermostat set points), establish energy benchmarking protocol and specify acceptable and prohibited equipment use and purchases. Best practices and results will be shared with the business community to expand the energy efficiency practices city-wide. Green Energy and Building ( Page 42 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.11.- Municipal Re-commissioning Plan A. Establish a re-commissioning plan to inspect, test, and make proper adjustments at regularly scheduled intervals to optimize the performance of its buildings and equipment. B. Create an LED lightbulb conversion program for city buildings. C. Train key staff that do not have the appropriate skills to test the equipment. D. Identify any environmentally harmful refrigerants in its operations and phase them out as part of its re-commissioning process (see Green Energy and Buildings Strategy #11) COBENEFITS The city has made investments in energy efficiency upgrades of its buildings and has been able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy and operational costs. Through these upgrades, the city is expected to continue saving money, with an expectation that these upgrades could create millions of dollars in savings over the next six years. However, the full energy savings will not be achieved without ongoing maintenance of the equipment. The city will establish a re-commissioning plan to inspect, test and make proper adjustments at regularly scheduled intervals to optimize the performance of its buildings and equipment. An LED light bulb conversion program will be created for city buildings in order to strategically change out energy-wasting light bulbs and quantify the resulting energy savings on a building-by-building basis. Where necessary, the city will provide training to key staff that currently do not have the appropriate skills to test the equipment. In addition, certain chilling appliances have a high impact on the climate due to the refrigerants they use. These refrigerants are powerful GHGs called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs are short-lived pollutants, but they have a heat-trapping impact on global warming that’s thousands of times more powerful than that of carbon dioxide. Appliances such as chillers, refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners likely contain HFCs. Unfortunately, as the world gets hotter, demand for air conditioning increases. In fact, by 2050, Florida is projected to experience some of the highest frequencies of extreme heat in the nation. Thankfully, HFC substitutes, like propane and ammonia, are available. The city will identify any environmentally harmful refrigerants in its operations and phase them out as part of its re-commissioning process (Green Energy and Buildings Strategy #11). Green Energy and Building ( Page 43 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 6.12.- Municipal Performance Standard A. Build all new municipal facilities to a nationally recognized high- level performance standard (e.g., Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Florida Green Building Coalition, and Energy Star). The city will lead by example by building all new municipal facilities to a nationally recognized, high-level performance standard such as LEED, Florida Green Building Coalition or Energy Star. Within a chosen standard, the city will prioritize energy and water efficiency as well as waste reduction features. 6.13.- Resilient Infrastructure A. Existing and new infrastructure complies with comprehensive resilience guidelines and the recommendations provided by the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition. B. Prioritize resilience upgrades in capital and operational. C. Create educational materials and events for the public to improve the adaptive capacity of their own buildings, structures, and properties. D. Explore grant opportunities for municipal solar photovoltaic and energy storage for critical building infrastructure (e.g., emergency shelters, schools, cooling centers, and nursing or assisted-living homes) to protect vulnerable populations and reduce GHG emissions. COBENEFITS: Existing city facilities and infrastructure may need to be retrofitted extensively in order to withstand local climate change impacts. The vulnerability assessment, outlined in item 5.7(c) of the Resilience Planning and Outreach Strategy, will provide a greater understanding of the projected climate change impacts and risks, as well as the city infrastructure that is most vulnerable. The city will aim to have both existing and new buildings and infrastructure comply with comprehensive resilience guidelines and the recommendations provided by the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition. The city will also routinely update its design criteria and community development code to further advance this shift towards resilience. Green Energy and Building ( Page 44 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 The city will also prioritize resilience upgrades in its capital and operational budgets in order to reduce the long-term risk and negative economic impact of climate change. Finally, the city will create educational materials and events for the public to improve the adaptive capacity their own buildings, structures, and properties. Information such as FEMA flood zone identification, hurricane preparedness, living shoreline or sea wall installation, sea level rise projections and more will be provided in an understandable and reoccurring manner. To protect vulnerable populations while reducing GHG emissions, the city will also explore grant opportunities to add photovoltaic and energy storage for critical building infrastructure, including emergency shelters, schools, cooling centers and nursing or assisted-living homes.

The ability to travel easily and affordably using multiple types of transportation is also essential to a healthy local economy. Therefore, providing safe, convenient, and affordable transportation options for residents, workers, and visitors is an important component of the city’s sustainability plan. Having true transportation choices requires continued investment in “complete streets,” which accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and cars; and in designing communities that make these transportation options possible. Clearwater is a largely developed community and most of the major streets in the city have been widened to the maximum extent. This means that new street widening projects to accommodate greater traffic flow are not possible in most areas. With this constraint in mind, we will need alternatives to automobile travel to meet the travel demands that come with increasing population. The pattern and design of our urban places should better support walking, transit, and bicycling. At the same time, the design and function of our street network needs to be rearranged to achieve a balance that meets the needs of all. In addition to promoting alternatives such as public transit, bicycling and walking, the city will prepare for the next major shift in the automobile industry: the electrification of vehicles. Electric vehicles have no direct emissions and are three to six times more energy efficient than a car that runs on gasoline. In addition to their lack of GHGs, switching to electric vehicles decreases the pressure for offshore drilling in the search of oil and results in healthier environments for people by decreasing air pollution. Improvements in the production of electric vehicles over the years have made them increasingly efficient and affordable.

Photo Credit: Bryan Beckman Transportation ( Page 48 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 7.1.- Vehicle Mile Reduction A. Launch a VMT reduction campaign. B. Reduce city-wide VMT by 10%. C. Launch an internal VMT reduction program for employees. COBENEFITS Success in meeting the city’s GHG reduction goals will require each of us to commit to reducing the amount of driving we do. The city will promote this change by initiating a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction campaign. This campaign will educate residents with the aim of reducing city-wide VMT by 10%. By setting a challenge to reduce VMT by 10%, businesses and residents who participate will consciously consider the amount of driving they do and take specific steps to reduce it. The city will promote a web based VMT reduction challenge tool that will track goals and results and encourage individuals and businesses to develop their own VMT reduction plans. The city will also lead by example through an internal VMT reduction program for their employees, which will require a shift in how employees get to work and conduct city business. 7.2.- Complete Streets Policy A. Complete actions outlined in the Complete Streets Plan. B. Healthy street design is local government policy COBENEFITS Transportation ( Page 49 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Streets are a vital part of livable, attractive communities. Everyone, regardless of age, ability, income, race or ethnicity, should have safe, comfortable and convenient access to community destinations and public places—whether walking, driving, bicycling or taking public transportation. The city has a long-standing commitment to pedestrian and bicycle- friendly infrastructure, which reduces transportation-related GHG emissions, reduces traffic congestion, promotes a healthier lifestyle for Clearwater residents, and creates community cohesion. Providing sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes along city streets is a matter of policy for the city. According to Smart Growth America, Complete Streets are, “designed and operated to prioritize safety, comfort, and access to destinations for all people who use the street, especially people who have experienced systemic underinvestment or whose needs have not been met through a traditional transportation approach”. The city has made significant progress on its complete streets efforts since City Council approved the original Greenprint in 2011. Multiple trails were constructed to connect larger trails, and trail users can now travel all the way from Tampa to Clearwater Beach. A transportation planner position was created in 2016 to focus on the future of the city’s transportation and a Complete Streets Advisory Committee was also established to review future plans. Many residents from the Skycrest Neighborhood worked with city staff to secure a state grant for the Skycrest Complete Streets project in 2018. The intent of the project is to balance accessibility for all modes of transportation, enhance safety, and to encourage economic revitalization and reinvestment along Drew Street and surrounding neighborhoods. Most recently, Clearwater’s city council approved the Complete Streets Implementation Plan to achieve appropriate, active, and safe streets. Such streets can occur by analyzing the types of land uses (residential, commercial, industrial, public, and so on) within an area and understanding how the surrounding streets can be re-designed to meet the mobility needs of people who use them. According to the article, “Street Design Guidelines for Healthy Neighborhoods”, by Dan Burden of Walkable Communities, Inc., healthy streets are, “networks of roadways and connector trails in communities designed primarily for use by people, not just motorized vehicles.” Such streets are designed for motorists to feel comfortable operating at low speeds. Low traffic volume and low noise, easy access, and multiple routes to destinations are also features. Pedestrian and bicycle movements are favored.” The city of Clearwater will implement healthy street design principles as part of local government policy. The city will also consider the 12 Steps of Walkable Communities according to the Florida Department of Transportation Pedestrian and Bicycle Program and the Street Design Guidelines for Healthy Neighborhoods from Walkable Communities, Inc. in formulating new strategies and policy, and in daily operations. Transportation ( Page 50 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 7.3.- Local Transit Improvement A. Continue to advocate for more funding to increase bus and trolley stops on existing routes. B. Collaborate with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) to improve bus scheduling. C. Explore and encourage alternative forms of public transportation (e.g., Bus Rapid Transit, carpool, car share, bike share, scooter share, and ferry services). COBENEFITS Improving the transit system will give residents, employees, and visitors access to jobs, services and tourist destinations. In 2017, the city partnered with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) to construct the Clearwater Beach Transit Center. The center added a bus bay, multiple covered pedestrian waiting areas, and new stops for riders making connections along the beach. Most notably, the Clearwater Beach Transit Center included Pinellas county’s first queue-jump, signal prioritization which allows buses to pull ahead of traffic to shorten travel times. The city also funds additional trolley services during the time period in which most schools have spring break in order to reduce the amount of congestion to and from the beach. Most recently, the city is working with the Florida Department of Transportation and the PSTA to form a Memorial Causeway Busway Plan to improve traffic flow to Clearwater Beach. The PSTA has also made significant advancements in its ability to keep passengers informed about real-time bus schedules and wait times. Both a website and a downloadable phone application are available to improve user experience and increase ridership. The city has and will continue advocating for more funding to increase bus and trolley stops on existing routes, which will improve ridership by increasing convenience. The city can also work with the PSTA to prevent poor scheduling of buses and require a minimum amount of wait time between buses. Public transit has also evolved beyond what was envisioned at the time Clearwater Greenprint was first created. Public transit now includes Bus Rapid Transit, carpooling, car share systems (i.e. Uber, Lyft, etc.), zip cars, bike share, and scooters. Water transportation with ferry services, like the Clearwater Ferry, have also become a possibility. The city will explore and further encourage these initiatives. Transportation ( Page 51 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 7.4- Low Emission Vehicles A. Support construction of infrastructure for low-to-zero emission vehicles. B. Continue to install public EV charging stations. C. Change the Community Development Code to require charging stations for electric vehicles for new development and adopt “EV ready” policies. D. Host a minimum of one event per year at which the public is encouraged to try an electric vehicle. E. Partner with an organization such as the Sierra Club or Southern Alliance for Clean Energy to create an event that encourages residents and businesses to shift to hybrid electric vehicles. COBENEFITS The city will create an environment where low-to-zero emission vehicles have infrastructure that supports them. This includes opportunities for different fueling, parking, and operational needs. High fuel efficiency combustion engine vehicles of all kinds have a place in the future community vehicle fleet mix. This includes high fuel efficiency cars, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, and golf carts. Electric driving requires a shift in how we fuel our vehicles as fueling can take place at home, in the community, or along our highways. Perceived lack of charging stations is cited as one of the top barriers to electric vehicle ownership. Therefore, increasing awareness and access to charging infrastructure is one of the best things the community can do to encourage electric vehicle use. The city will continue installing public EV charging equipment and will adopt policies to encourage private investment in charging infrastructure. The city will also adopt “EV ready” policies and changes to the Community Development Code that include charging stations for electric vehicles in new developments. The city will also aim to hold at least one event each year that encourages the public to try an electric vehicle. Multiple organizations, including the Sierra Club and Southern Alliance for Clean Energy can assist in creating an educational and engaging event. Through readiness, the city will provide residents and local businesses encouragement to shift to hybrid and electric vehicles and lower their transportation related GHGs. Transportation ( Page 52 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 7.5- Municipal Fleet Conversion A. Adopt a Green Fleet Policy to govern use and procurement of fleet vehicles B. Investigate financing mechanisms to offset cost of fleet conversion (e.g., vehicle leasing and federal tax credit) C. Increase the share of municipal light-duty vehicles running on alternative fuels. Over the last ten years, a number of vehicles within the city’s fleet, including 70 garbage and recycling trucks, have been converted to run on compressed natural gas instead of conventional gasoline. While natural gas does produce GHG emissions, current energy-use models find it to produce 6-11% less emissions than gasoline. The city will continue to improve the sustainability of its municipal fleet by adopting a Green Fleet Policy to govern its vehicle purchases and driving practices. As part of this policy, the city will create a vehicle replacement procedure to replace all light duty vehicles with alternative fuels as replacement is needed. This will also require that the city install EV charging stations at key places in order to allow its electric vehicles to charge. The city will investigate the use of certain financing mechanisms, such as vehicle leasing, to participate in the federal tax credit available on electric vehicles. 7.6.- Congestion Management A. Manage traffic congestion by considering alternative intersection designs. B. Continue to include roundabouts in new road construction projects. C. Consider use of other congestion management practices. COBENEFITS Projects that reduce congestion and idling have a significant effect on GHG emissions from vehicles. Since the first version of Greenprint, multiple intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) have been installed around the city to improve congestion, and pedestrian signals have been installed at key intersections. Furthermore, all ATMS facilities have dynamic message signs (DMS) that relay real-time Transportation ( Page 53 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 information to travelers, allowing drivers to prepare for road closures, accidents, or emergency news. The city can further manage traffic congestion by considering alternative intersection designs. Continuing to include roundabouts in new road construction projects can have multiple benefits including the reduced frequency and severity of crashes, reduced traffic delays, increased traffic capacity, reduced long-term operational costs, and reduced emissions and noise. To date, there are 34 roundabouts throughout the city. Additional congestion management practices include: ITS technology that includes real-time congestion and auto travel information; transit trip planning; mobile ticketing; bike/car sharing; and vanpooling technology. 7.7.- Municipal Telecommuting Policy A. Increase the alternative work schedule and telecommuting opportunities available to city workforce B. Encourage virtual meetings in lieu of in-person meetings requiring travel by automobile whenever possible With transportation being a large and increasing contributor to our city-wide GHG emissions, the city will lead by example in reducing vehicle miles traveled within city boundaries by using alternative work schedules and increasing telecommuting opportunities within its workforce. It will also encourage virtual meetings, rather than in-person meetings that require driving, wherever possible. The city will develop a Telecommuting Policy to establish alternative work schedule options and define eligible positions and candidates.

Report available online at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/circulars/ec019/ec019_b1.pdf Livability ( Page 55 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 The city of Clearwater was shaped during a time when fuel was cheap and abundant and driving was the primary mode of transportation. These conditions resulted in important destinations such as workplaces, homes, schools, and commercial centers being built far apart from one another. Clearwater’s sprawling development pattern contributes to residents’ heavy dependence on personal automobiles for travel. Because most of Clearwater is already developed, the city must look towards improving vacant or underutilized properties to make it easier to access resources and promote growth. Creating conditions that enable sustainable growth requires thoughtful consideration of the relationships between how a property is used and the transportation options available to the surrounding community. Many areas in the city are either stable in redevelopment or are attracting new building development at a very slow rate. Where redevelopment is not occurring, buildings will need to be maintained, repurposed, or retrofitted. This will ensure that quality housing, jobs, goods and services are available throughout the community. Improving existing buildings was identified as one of the biggest long-term challenges facing the city in the original Clearwater Greenprint plan. That challenge continues to exist. There has been an increasing rate of building obsolescence due to rapid residential and commercial growth using infrastructure that regularly needs to be replaced. These buildings require a large amount of ongoing maintenance and energy to operate. The present and future owners of Clearwater’s existing buildings will be challenged to invest enough money to successfully maintain the building frame while upgrading the infrastructure inside to be more energy efficient. In addition to challenges in the existing building stock, there are demographic trends that need to be considered when designing a sustainable approach to land use. According to United States Census Bureau estimates, Pinellas County was one of only two counties in Florida that did not increase in permanent population from 2000 to 2010. Permanent population consists of those residents who live in the county year-round. However, other local projects from the Pinellas County planning agency and Forward Pinellas anticipate some population growth in the decades to come. This growth is not expected to be as large as what is expected in other neighboring counties with more vacant land. There is also the potential for change in the retired population that moves to the area. Clearwater will continue to attract new retirees over time, but it will most likely be a population of retirees with less spending money than past generations. If the retiree migration rate declines over time, that population will need to be replaced to keep the local Livability Photo Credit: Paul Sacca Livability ( Page 56 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 economy growing and strong. As a result, there is a need to attract different demographics to the city including young and working-aged people to the city. In light of this information, the city will need to find a balance between encouraging high quality, energy-efficient development and maintaining an economic environment that is attractive to developers to create new homes and jobs. At the same time, the city will need to incentivize reuse and revitalization of the existing structures so they can remain usable over the long term. Finally, the city has the opportunity to improve quality of life and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by improving or transforming land area that is currently underutilized. The city will continue to increase the tree canopy through its own plantings and by encouraging plantings on private property. It will also continue to seek opportunities to create and maintain areas for recreational purposes and protect environmental resources. Ultimately, the city wishes to create a livable neighborhood, or one that is pleasant, safe, affordable, and supportive of its members. Such a neighborhood may include attractive pedestrian-oriented streets with low traffic speed and congestion as well as affordable, sustainable housing that is within reasonable distance to employment opportunities that offer living wages.

Continue to provide for mixed-use development in livable, transit- oriented neighborhoods B. Improve regulation, investment, and incentives that will fulfill residents’ household and transportation needs COBENEFITS The city has continued to provide for mixed-use development in livable, transit-oriented neighborhoods. Mixed-use development is development that consolidates commercial, residential, or industrial spaces on a single property. In 2012, the city’s Planning and Development department worked with a consultant to create US 19 Corridor Redevelopment plan. This plan focused on increasing the density of available commercial and residential buildings in order to allow for greater transportation options. In essence, the plan intends to bring a “live, work, and play” element to an area that previously experienced only heavy commuting traffic. Following this plan, amendments to the city’s Comprehensive Plan occurred in 2016 to support the new zoning district and development standards. The areas identified in the original Clearwater Greenprint document have not been formally established as Energy Conservation Areas; however, each of the identified areas have been included in the Citywide Design Structure as Activity Centers and Redevelopment Corridors. The city will work to improve regulation, investment, and incentives that will fulfill residents’ household and transportation needs.

Maintain the historic designation process to ensure that historically significant properties and neighborhoods remain stable, well-maintained, and available for long-term use C. Continue to implement a brownfield program and identify incentives such as tax credits for brownfield and greyfield development D. Consider partnership with an educational institution or non-profit organization to demonstrate the benefits of compost in a pilot program or through a publication COBENEFITS A sustainable urban environment has a variety of building types, sizes, and ages. This variability allows buildings to be reused for different purposes over the course of their life. New buildings should be designed with flexible space to maximize the potential for reuse in the future. Designing buildings that can be used for many potential purposes reduces vacancy. It also reduces the need for costly demolition. In addition to economic benefits, reducing construction and demolition waste greatly reduces the amount of garbage generated by the city, as both practices make up a large percentage of the waste stream. Restoration and reuse of building materials prevent this waste. The city will encourage restoration and reuse of buildings rather than demolition. If demolition is needed, the city will look to deconstruct buildings, reusing or recycling the building’s materials wherever possible. The city will also maintain the historic designation process, which helps ensure certain properties and neighborhoods are stable, maintained, and available for long term use. The city will continue to implement its brownfields program and identify incentives, such as tax credits, for brownfield and greyfield development. These are properties that have a degree of hazardous waste or abandoned buildings on them and are difficult to sell as a result. Financial incentives will offset some of the cost of remediation and promote reuse of these usable but sometimes abandoned lands. When remediation is needed, the city will look towards adding compost as an amendment to disturbed land. In addition to preventing food waste from being discarded as trash, compost has a remediating quality for soil. It increases the needed beneficial micro-biotic life within soil, retains water, and allows the ground to sequester carbon. This reduces GHG emissions in the atmosphere. The city will consider working with an educational institution or non-profit organization to demonstrate the benefits of compost in a pilot program site or publication. Livability ( Page 62 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 8.3.- Diverse Housing Options A. Continue to cultivate a self-sustaining community and local economy to reduce VMT and increase accessibility COBENEFITS Available housing choices must have a range of prices to attract residents in all life stages and income levels. Affordable, energy-efficient, and location-ideal housing will increase the chances that Clearwater will continue to maintain and attract a diverse population. Monitoring and working toward creating the right mix of housing type and cost will create a balance of housing supply to jobs. This balance will reduce the need for Clearwater residents to commute outside the city to work. Reducing the distance residents drive to work not only reduces the city’s GHG emissions from fuel, it also creates a more affordable and enjoyable living experience for Clearwater residents. The city has created plans, known as the Consolidated Plan and Local Housing Assistance Plan, with policies that support a variety of housing types and prices. Furthermore, two new districts have been created to encourage further diversity of housing type and redevelopment within Clearwater’s downtown and U.S. Highway 19 areas. The city will continue to create a more self-sustaining community and local economy that will reduce the need for driving while increasing convenience and accessibility to employment.

Support and expand the community’s capacity to manage, develop, and enhance greenspace for natural habitat, recreation, gardening, and outdoor education activities COBENEFITS Maintaining passive parks with minimal recreation opportunities (i.e.. walking, biking only) and maximize natural greenspace and ecosystem function is a win-win. Our community benefits by having access to much needed natural landscape while providing ecosystem relief in a highly urbanized region. The city is continuing with its goals of preserving and expanding greenspace. In February 2019, Moccasin Lake Nature Park reopened after renovations and is now home to a butterfly garden and multiple native plant installations. By offering hiking trails and nature classes, the center is a beautiful resource for those interested in learning more about Florida’s natural ecosystems and wildlife. Clearwater’s Coachman Ridge Park also underwent renovations that were needed to allow greater stormwater flow from the city’s new Solid Waste Transfer Station. The Parks & Recreation department and Engineering department updated the park by increasing the number of trees from 300 to 1,911. Clearwater Greenies, a component of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, hosts a number of beach, park, and neighborhood cleanup projects throughout the year. The department also offers Adopt-A-Trail, Adopt-A-Park, Adopt-A-Street, and Adopt-A- Waterway programs for citizens and businesses. In 2018, over a thousand hours were spent beautifying spaces and removing litter from areas within Clearwater. The city will continue to support and expand the community’s capacity to manage, develop, and enhance greenspaces for natural habitat, recreation, gardening, and outdoor education opportunities. This includes improving and maintaining public property, creating public- private partnerships to transition underutilized land to these uses and enabling and encouraging these uses on private property through public policies and programs. Enhancing and expanding greenspace will result in better stormwater management, higher carbon sequestration, and a better quality of life for residents. Livability ( Page 64 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 8.5.- Urban Tree Program and Canopy Target A. Continue to host an annual tree giveaway B. Develop a program to educate community members on the benefits of planting trees and recognize residents and businesses that participate C. Assess current tree canopy and set an increased canopy goal based on assessment results D. Create an implementation plan to increase tree canopy coverage E. Require mitigation for consumption of natural habitat or resources F. Enact and enforce a tree preservation or land-clearing ordinance G. Pilot a forest carbon sequestration project on municipal land which will sequester carbon to offset a portion of the community’s annual GHG emissions H. Develop the planting program under an existing urban forestry project protocol to allow for recording and reporting the results of the program COBENEFITS For Arbor Day 2019, the city celebrated its 37th year as a Tree City USA by giving away thousands of young trees to residents. This tree giveaway is an annual tradition. The city will continue its legacy as a Tree City by developing a program to educate community members on the benefits of planting trees and recognize residents and businesses that participate. The city will consider piloting a forest carbon sequestration project on municipal land, which along with other existing landscape installations will sequester carbon to offset a portion of the community’s annual GHG emissions. Carbon sequestration is the process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is taken up by trees, grasses, and other plants through photosynthesis and stored as carbon in biomass (trunks, branches, foliage, and roots) and soils. The sequestration of carbon in forests and wood products helps to offset sources of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, such as fossil fuel emissions. The planting program should be developed under an existing urban forestry project protocol to allow for recording and reporting the results of the program. The city will also assess its current tree canopy and set an increased canopy goal based on that assessment. The project will look at the three Ps of natural resource management (Possible, Potential, and Preferable), GIS methodology, and the Forest Opportunity Spectrum (FOS) for goal setting. From this goal, an implementation plan to increase the city’s tree canopy will be established. Local ordinances, regulations, and the city’s Comprehensive Plan will be updated as needed to accommodate the tree canopy goal. The city will maintain its current tree canopy through a tree preservation and protection ordinance requiring property Livability ( Page 65 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 owners to apply for permit and compensate the city when removing trees from the public right of way and apply for a permit for certain clearing activities on private property to the extent permitted by law. It’s important to note, however, that canopy size is just one of many criteria to consider when evaluating urban trees. For instance, a robust tree canopy comprised of largely invasive species is not desirable. Age and species diversity, condition of trees and equitable distribution across income levels, to name a few, should also be considered in any future targets. 8.6.- Environmental Conservation A. Become a certified community under the National Wildlife Federation Wildlife Habitat Program B. Adopt a sea turtle ordinance C. Create an endangered lands conservation/purchasing program D. Promote eco-literacy COBENEFITS The city will create programs to increase awareness of our region’s plants and animals and the importance of preserving our natural resources. These initiatives could build on existing partnerships with local organizations such as the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the Florida Native Plant Society, the Audubon Society, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program, and others. These programs will further assist already existing efforts to raise public awareness of Clearwater’s green spaces and trees, including existing nature preserves such as Moccasin Lake Nature Park. The city of Clearwater will become a certified community under the National Wildlife Habitat Program. As part of this undertaking, the city will take the National Wildlife Foundation Mayor’s Monarch Pledge which involves committing to create habitat for the monarch butterfly and pollinators and educating residents. The city will also create and participate in programs that increase awareness of our region’s plants and animals and the importance of preserving our natural resources. These initiatives include creation of an endangered lands conservation and purchasing program and could build on existing partnerships with local organizations. These programs will further assist already existing efforts to raise public awareness of Clearwater’s green spaces and trees, including existing nature preserves such as Moccasin Lake Nature Park. To support program participation and creation, the city of Clearwater will draft and adopt regulations as necessary. For instance, Livability ( Page 66 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 the city has adopted language in Section 3-1302(D) of the City of Clearwater Community Development Code which protects sea turtle nesting areas through lighting regulations. 8.7.- Integrated Pest Management A. Create an IPM plan address invasive species and problematic insects at city-owned properties B. Provide the public with educational materials concerning invasive species identification and IPM best practices C. Consider partnership with an educational institution (e.g., Saint Petersburg College of the University of South Florida) to develop an IPM plan and subsequent educational outreach COBENEFITS Integrated Pest Management (IPM), is a practice used to remove organisms that are causing harm to a desirable plant, ecosystem, or structure. IPM is designed to solve these problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment. IPM provides long-term pest prevention, using natural control methods and only uses pesticides if no other option is effective. IPM pest control materials are selected to affect a specific target organism without harming surrounding organisms. Furthermore, the pest control materials are applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health. The city will create an IPM plan to alleviate city-owned properties of invasive species and problematic insects. The plan will provide guidance on non-native, invasive plants and species, as well as a detailed plan for removal and/or management of such species. The plan will emphasize non-toxic options and consider potential expansion of invasive species due to climate change. Educational materials about invasive species identification and best IPM removal practices will be provided to the public. Working with an educational institution, like Saint Petersburg College or the University of South Florida, should be considered for both the development of an IPM plan and the work of providing public education.

Develop street design standards that maximize energy efficiency and minimize heat COBENEFITS Energy-efficient street design reduces the amount of heat absorbed by streets, which translates into cooler neighborhoods and less air conditioning use in buildings and cars. Energy-efficient streets are often oriented to protect and enable solar access, and are narrower, better shaded, and constructed with cool paving materials. Tactics include utilizing shade from tree canopies and using cool pavements that enhance water percolation or reflect the sun’s energy rather than absorb it. Shading streets and other paved surfaces will minimize the pavement’s exposure to the sun thereby reducing ambient neighborhood temperatures by as much as 10°F. This, in turn, reduces the cooling loads in buildings. The city will develop street design standards that maximize energy-efficiency and minimize heat. 8.9.- Environmental Justice A. Explore options for preventing excessive levels of pollution and mitigate environmental and other impacts such as noise, odor, and traffic in low-income communities and communities of color B. Include potential environmental and public health impacts of land use decisions into planning and zoning activities C. Prioritize affordable housing for historically displaced groups to prevent green gentrification D. Consider measures to ensure that rent in improved neighborhoods remains affordable and savings from energy efficiency improvements are passed on to tenants E. Assess current city zoning and land use policies to determine where environmental justice criteria can be incorporated COBENEFITS Livability ( Page 68 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines environmental justice as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.” In promoting environmental justice, the city will actively explore how it can prevent excessive levels of pollution and mitigate environmental and other impacts like noise, odor, and traffic in low-income and communities of color. This can be achieved by assessing current city zoning and land use policies to determine where environmental justice criteria can be incorporated. The city will also include the potential environmental and public health impacts of land use decisions into planning and zoning activities. In an effort to prevent green gentrification, a phenomenon in which the addition of parks, better transit options, and health measures push people out of newly improved neighborhoods, the city will prioritize affordable housing for historically displaced groups. Measures will be considered as to how the city can ensure rent in improved neighborhoods remains affordable and savings from energy-efficiencies can be passed along to tenants.

Our habits, practices, and expectations about the availability of freshwater threaten long term enjoyment of this vital resource. Clearwater residents use approximately 11.2 million gallons of drinking water every day. Around 80% of this water is pumped from city-owned and operated groundwater wells. The remaining water is supplied by water purchased from Pinellas County Utilities. While vital to the community, the water treatment process requires a large amount of energy. Transporting and treating water is the highest energy user and greenhouse gas emissions source of all the municipal operations. Water use and the energy demand associated with it can be reduced through behavioral change. There are many behavior-related conservation strategies that can be implemented as first steps toward achieving a more sustainable water resource management system. These types of strategies simply require awareness of the issue and the corrective action, along with personal or organizational desire to be part of the solution. Although Clearwater residents use significantly less water per capita per day (81 gallons) than the national average (88 gallons), water conservation measures can still result in savings. Beyond behavioral changes, there is the installation of water-saving devices in homes and businesses. These low-cost investments produce long-term savings, especially when coupled with reduced need for hot water, which requires a significant amount of energy to produce. Limiting water used for irrigation is essential to reducing water use. Though it requires some knowledge, planning, and investment, landscaping can be designed to use small amounts of water and irrigation systems can be configured to operate only where and when needed. By watering lawns and gardens more efficiently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Florida residents could save 46 million gallons of water each day, or the daily amount needed to supply every household in Tampa. As a coastal community, it is also important to consider potential impacts from the forecasted sea level rise in Clearwater; among them, flooding and reduced access to drinking water. Water Conservation Waterwise Landscapes Low Impact Development Water Conservation Water Conservation ( Page 72 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Section Strategy Name Strategies 9.1 Water Conservation A.

Continue to encourage water conservation in homes, businesses and industries. B. Continue to consider changes to water use regulations and fees on an annual basis. C. Encourage residents and businesses to adopt water conservation standards such as Florida Water Star for existing and new construction. D. Consider developing year-round water restrictions that are more stringent than Southwest Florida Water Management District restrictions. COBENEFITS The city has and will continue to encourage water conservation in Clearwater homes, businesses, and industries. The city’s Public Utilities department actively educates community members about the availability of water-saving devices such as low-flow toilets and high-efficiency irrigation systems. These devices have been popular in the region and have resulted in significant water savings over the last decade. As a result, the city has a very low usage of water per person. Since the first Clearwater Greenprint plan, the city has continued to progress completing each of the reclaimed water services identified in its Water Supply & Treatment Master Plan. On an annual basis, the city will continue to consider changes to water use regulation and fees. The assessment will include continued evaluation of options to revise rates for promotion of water conservation. The city will encourage residents and businesses to adopt water conservation standards such as Florida Water Star for existing and new construction and will consider developing Figure 1.- Painted rain barrels (XXXX) Water Conservation ( Page 74 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 year-round water restrictions that are more stringent than Southwest Florida Water Management District restrictions. 9.2.- Waterwise Landscapes A. Use code-based incentives (e.g., accelerated site plan review time) to encourage community members to create landscapes at the same time as new development or redevelopment that integrate water saving measures. B. Promote and facilitate neighborhood-based projects that train residents on Florida-Friendly landscaping practices. C. Partner with neighborhoods and local organizations to recognize existing Florida-Friendly yards and highlight effective and affordable xeriscaping techniques. COBENEFITS The city will use code-based incentives (e.g. accelerated site plan review time) to encourage community members to create landscapes at the same time as new development or redevelopment that integrate water saving measures such as Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles. Along with incentives, the city will promote and facilitate neighborhood-based projects that train residents on Florida-Friendly landscaping practices. The city will partner with neighborhoods and local organizations to recognize existing Florida-friendly yards and highlight effective and affordable xeriscaping techniques. Community members also have access to rainwater collection and water conservation workshops through Pinellas County. 9.3.- Low Impact Development A. Identify and prioritize potential retrofits to city buildings for rainwater capture. B. Create guidance for private property owners to develop and implement rainwater collection. C. Increase awareness of co-benefits of low-impact development. D. Consider installations that capture, retain and treat stormwater runoff from parking lots, driveways and roads. COBENEFITS Water Conservation ( Page 75 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Low Impact Development (LID) is a design approach that emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality. Collecting rainwater is a great example of LID. By collecting and using rainwater, we can greatly reduce the use of treated water for landscape irrigation. Rainwater collecting systems, especially from roof areas, are easy to install and there are a variety of sizes and styles of rain barrels and cisterns for rainwater storage. Other examples of LID include bioswales, rain gardens, green roofs, and more. The National Resource Defense Council analyzed 17 LID case studies comparing the cost of LID and conventional stormwater management practices. In most cases, LID methods were both economically and environmentally beneficial, with capital cost savings ranging from 15 to 80%. Since Clearwater Greenprint was first created, the city has incorporated LID elements into its Stormwater Drainage Criteria Manual and the development standards it uses for the US 19 and Downtown zoning districts. The Cleveland Streetscape Phase III design will also incorporate LID practices such as integrating stormwater detention into vegetated street areas so that it can be stored temporarily until it can drain naturally instead of diverting it directly into the city’s stormwater system. Looking forward, the city will identify and prioritize potential retrofits to city buildings for rainwater capture. Additionally, the city will create guidance for private property owners to develop and implement rainwater collecting plans with a goal of capturing runoff from at least 10% of impervious surfaces, or surfaces that prevent the entry of water (e.g., asphalt, concrete, brick, and stone). The focus of the efforts should be on roof area, but might include installations that capture, retain and treat stormwater runoff from parking lots, driveways and roads. Rainwater collecting systems, in combination with reuse of greywater, which is relatively clean wastewater from baths, sinks or washing machines, will reduce demand for and expense of piped water for landscape irrigation. As part of the overall sustainable water resources program, integrating LID principles into building and site designs, such as bioswales, rain gardens, and other vegetated areas, will go a long way toward raising awareness of water resource issues. LID also has many non- water saving benefits, including conserving greenspace and stormwater retention. The city will work to increase awareness of these co-benefits.

Photo Credit: Kathleen Beckman Waste Reduction ( Page 77 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Clearwater’s garbage is collected, transported, then processed at the Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy Facility in St. Petersburg, Florida. While the waste-to-energy process reduces the amount of solid waste deposited in landfills and generates electricity, it also produces greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of plastics, tires, and other carbon- based waste materials. 90% of the garbage created in the county is burned through waste- to-energy while 10% is landfilled. The landfilling of material also creates methane, a harmful GHG when produced in excess. In 2018, Clearwater residents and businesses generated 6.6 million tons of garbage and recycled 9.6 thousand tons of plastic containers, glass bottles, metal cans, mixed paper, and newspaper. Additionally, 3.7 thousand tons of yard waste was collected and repurposed. Both businesses and consumers can have a large impact on waste reduction. Business can make products using less toxins and packaging while increasing their use of packaging that is recyclable or compostable. Consumers can better manage their waste by reusing items, recycling properly, composting, and correctly disposing of electronics and other hazardous waste. We should all do our best to avoid products that generate large amounts of waste and choose to reuse items rather than placing them in the trash. Further sustainable practices include composting at home, recycling properly, and buying products that are made of material that was previously recycled.

Waste Reduction Photo Credit: City of Clearwater Waste Reduction – Strategies Waste Reduction ( Page 79 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 10.1.- Yard Waste Collection A. Continue to offer yard waste collection to residents, encourage more households to participate, and investigate opportunities for collection of other organic waste such as food waste for composting. In 2010, the city started a residential yard waste program to divert yard waste (i.e. leaves, grass clippings, branches) away from the county waste-to-energy facility and landfill. Instead, the yard debris material was collected and sent to a company that repurposes it into mulch or fuel. The program has reduced operating hours and solid waste disposal fees paid by the city’s Solid Waste and Recycling department. The city will continue to offer yard waste collection to residents, encourage more households to participate, and investigate opportunities for collection of other organic waste such as food waste for composting. 10.2.- Recycling Program Continuation A. Continue to offer recycling services to residents and businesses. The city expanded previous recycling options to include more types of plastic as well as glass. It also launched a single-stream recycling program in 2013 to make recycling more convenient and provided 90-gallon barrels to every single-family home. In the fiscal year that extended from 2016 to 2017, almost 14 thousand tons of material was recycled as opposed to the 6,000 tons in 2009. In January of 2018, China, which traditionally was the largest importer of the world's recycling - receiving over 30% of all global material, announced that it would not accept any recycling that contained more than 0.05% contamination. In regard to recycling, contamination is anything that is not recyclable – this includes plastic bags, food waste, containers with liquid, Styrofoam, fabric, hoses, wood, paint, scrap metal, etc. Waste Reduction ( Page 80 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 An audit of Clearwater's recycling stream was also conducted in 2018 and found that the city’s recycling ranged from 25-30% contamination. This is a trend that can be seen across the United States, with many cities having a similar contamination rate in their recycling. Contamination can create very hazardous working conditions, as plastic bags and electronics can cause fires in our facilities. Contamination can also cause an entire load of true recyclables to be rejected by the city’s processors and then it all must be disposed of as trash. Furthermore, contamination also makes recycling programs costly. China's essential closure as a market, in addition to improper recycling practices across the U.S., has made recycling very expensive for cities - even more so than taking the material to a landfill or waste-to-energy facility. As a result, cities around the country have decided to end their recycling programs. Fortunately, the city of Clearwater remains committed to offering a recycling program to its residents and businesses. The city is actively focusing on improving the quality of its recycling and is educating the public about what is accepted in the city’s program. Focusing on waste reduction, first and foremost, is the best course of action – with proper composting and recycling being used as secondary practices to repurpose valuable material. 10.3.- Backyard Composting Program A. Continue the virtual Clearwater Creates Compost course and complete an annual compost bin giveaway day Organic waste, like food scraps and yard trimmings, release methane when placed within the oxygen-free conditions of a landfill. Methane is an incredibly potent GHG. In 2018, methane produced roughly 9.5% of all human made U.S. GHG emissions. While that percentage is small, methane has a global warming factor that is 25 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. In an effort to reduce food waste as well as methane generation, the city launched an online “Create Compost” course in late 2020 that encourages people to learn to compost in their backyard. Program participation was incentivized by providing a starter composting bin to residents who enroll in the program and live within City of Clearwater limits. Waste Reduction ( Page 81 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 10.4.-Commercial Composting A. Develop a pilot composting program to divert food scraps from landfills and demonstrate the viability of a city-wide program. With the help of local organizations, the city will develop a pilot composting program to divert food scraps from the landfill and demonstrate the viability of a city-wide program. The pilot program will initially target the commercial sector, with preference for high volume generators of food waste including hospitals, schools, hotels, and restaurants for on-site or collection composting programs. Information on participation rates, challenges, benefits, and costs will be tracked and monitored. If demonstrated that the program’s economic, environmental and social benefits outweigh the costs, the study may be expanded to collecting and processing food waste from select neighborhoods in the residential sector. 10.5.-Trash to Trends Event A. Organize an annual community event for swapping reusable goods to divert reusable goods from the solid waste stream. Similar to websites like FreeCycle and Craigslist that provide a platform for giving away or exchanging used goods, the city will organize an annual community event for swapping reusable goods. The event, like the Clearwater Community Swap held in downtown in 2010, would serve to divert reusable goods from the solid waste stream and could be combined with an educational and awareness campaign on waste reduction practices. Waste Reduction ( Page 82 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 10.6.-Municipal Waste Reduction Policy A. Adopt formal waste reduction policy and goals that address ocean-friendly recycling and printing practices. B. Consider development of standards for events held on municipal sites to reduce waste generation, consumption of single-use plastics, and increase recycling by thousands of eventgoers per year. COBENEFITS At present, the city promotes payment of bills online. Moving forward, where possible, the city will also transmit important billing documents on recycled paper. Furthermore, the city offers recycling at many of its facilities and has transitioned to paperless (i.e., electronic) systems in most of its departments. In 2018, the Clearwater City Council also unanimously passed Resolution 18-08 to encourage Clearwater businesses to adopt ocean-friendly practices. Ocean-friendly businesses choose reusable, paper-based biodegradable, compostable or recyclable materials instead and maintain a clean recycling program. Ocean-friendly practices include not using plastic bags, plastic straws, plastic utensils, Styrofoam, and balloons. The city’s next step will be to adopt a formal waste reduction policy and goals that address ocean-friendly, recycling, and printing practices. Also, standards for events held on municipal sites will be developed to reduce waste generation and use of single use plastics as well as increase recycling by thousands of event goers in Clearwater each year. Guidelines for this municipal waste reduction policy will be outlined under the city’s Green Procurement Policy (Green Economy strategy #8).

Photo Credit: Beth Davis Photo Credit: City of Clearwater Local Food ( Page 84 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Photo Credit: Beth Davis Pinellas County is largely developed with only a few small farms within its boundaries. As a result, most food consumed by Clearwater residents comes from other counties, states, and even countries. Transporting this food from far-away locations requires fuel and accounts 14% of the total energy used to get food from farm to market. A sustainable community provides healthy food for its people. The quality of food, health, and the natural environment are interconnected. The availability of healthy foods directly influences what people eat and therefore their physical well-being. Local foods are transported shorter distances from farm to consumer tables, ensuring fresher foods while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Local foods also tend to be less processed and require less refrigeration, which also reduces GHG emissions. Local foods are generally fresher than foods transported long distances. Most locally-produced food also uses fewer toxic chemicals, which can impact community health and the natural environment. Eating a diet that is also rich in plants has a lower carbon footprint and conserves more water than diets with higher amounts of meat. While younger generations have grown up without great awareness of where their food comes from, there are many people in Clearwater that have substantial knowledge about small-scale food production that could provide guidance for community gardening. This presents a significant opportunity for learning, experimenting, and knowledge sharing within the community and even bridging cultural and generational divides. Growing food also brings about a greater knowledge of Clearwater’s seasons, soil, and wildlife. This knowledge adds to a greater sense of place and care for our land.

Local Food – Strategies Photo credit: Kathleen Beckman Local Food ( Page 86 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 11.1.- Urban Agriculture Task Force A. Organize and facilitate a task force to assist in developing and implementing recommendations for expanding local food production. B. Develop partnerships among non-profits, ministries, neighborhood associations, and private interests to increase local food production and commerce, funding opportunities, and pooling of resources. C. Leverage partnerships to obtain grant funding for planning and project start-up activities. COBENEFITS A new task force organized and facilitated by the city will assist in developing and implementing recommendations for expanding local food production. The task force will develop partnerships among non-profits, ministries, neighborhood associations and private interests to increase local food production and commerce, funding opportunities, and pooling of resources. Partnerships will increase opportunities for grant funding for planning and project start-up activities. The task force could create an educational campaign to bolster awareness and use of existing initiatives that promote local food consumption. 11.2.- Local Food Production A. Define “local” in the context of food production and the community’s needs. B. Develop a “foodshed program”, “Buy Fresh Buy Local”, in collaboration with regional partners to increase availability of local foods. COBENEFITS The Urban Agriculture Task Force should define what is “local” in the context of food production and the community’s needs and develop a “foodshed” program in collaboration with regional partners to increase the availability of local foods. A “Buy Fresh Buy Local” Local Food ( Page 87 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 program will serve as a model program for strengthening local and regional markets. It will identify and highlight local growers, exposing them to the local Clearwater market. It will also provide general information on the benefits of locally sourced food. The program would create multiple food growing, processing, storing, and selling opportunities, increase awareness, and provide linkages between farmers, consumers and organizations. Developing more local food systems will also serve to create greater resilience throughout our community by increasing food security. 11.3.- Urban Agriculture A. Conduct an inventory of public and semi-public lands that would be suitable for food production for pilot projects. B. Amend the Community Development code to allow and support community gardens and other forms of urban agriculture. COBENEFITS The city will conduct an inventory of public and semi-public lands that would be suitable for food production for the purpose of identifying sites for food production pilot projects. The city will amend the Community Development Code to allow and support community gardens and other forms of urban agriculture. Amendments will address hydroponics or other food production facilities in existing and new buildings. 11.4.- Community Garden Grant Program A. Create a Community Garden Grant Program. COBENEFITS Local Food ( Page 88 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Getting outside and gardening has known physical, mental, and emotional health benefits. Participating in a community gardens can multiply these benefits. From a sustainability perspective, community gardens are great because they increase our community’s access to fresh and local produce, improving Clearwater’s carbon footprint by decreasing the travel distance food takes from farm to table. This close proximity also helps to encourage a more resilient food system. Community gardens go even further to enable additional social benefits, as they encourage neighbors to get to know one another and support a sense of place and pride within our community. To support Clearwater’s existing community gardens and encourage new community gardens to develop, the city of Clearwater will create a Community Garden Grant Program. The mission of the Program will be to advance the city’s sustainability goals by supporting the creation or development of community gardens within city limits. 11.5.- Climate-Friendly Food Policy A. Encourage staff and residents to a eat plant-rich meal at least once a week. B. Integrate climate-friendly food procurement guidelines into the Green Procurement Policy. C. Consider a resolution in support of “Meatless Mondays.” COBENEFITS U.S. citizens consume roughly 2.6 times more meat than the global per person average. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture have increased by 10.1% since 1990 and animal agriculture is now responsible for more than half of all food related greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, diets that are plant-rich, meaning they include more vegetables, fruits, and grains, have lower emissions than diets that mostly derived from animal products. There are also additional health benefit for plant-rich diets, including reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes. As large population centers, cities and counties have a critical role to play. By reducing the amount of animal products purchased with municipal funds and serving more plant-rich options on city property and events, we can reduce our indirect greenhouse gas emissions and water footprints, all while offering healthier food. The city of Clearwater will consider a resolution in support of “Meatless Mondays” and will encourage staff and residents to eating more plant-rich meals at least once a week. The city will also integrate climate-friendly food procurement guidelines in its Green Procurement Policy (Green Economy strategy #8).

Photo Credit: Dondi Gutierrez Green Economy ( Page 90 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 “Greenwashing” is a new phenomenon in which a product or business is advertised as being better for the environment than it really is. As a result, it can be confusing when trying to choose the best item to purchase or business to support. Many people want to support a business that is doing something good for the world, but these businesses can be difficult to identify. Many businesses would consider more sustainable products and practices if they were provided with direction and shown that “going green” is a good financial decision. A green economy fosters businesses that help protect, restore, and enhance our natural environment. By supporting green businesses, Clearwater’s economy can thrive and prosper while achieving community goals of generating less waste and pollution, saving energy, restoring green spaces, growing food locally, and conserving water. Green businesses could include companies that develop renewable energy or alternative fuels, grow organic produce locally, make products from recycled materials, implement resource conservation practices, or choose to avoid single-use plastics. Traditional companies that modify their practices to be more resource efficient, such as builders who learn to use energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable materials and construction practices, could also meet the definition of green business.

Develop a database of green businesses and the number and types of green jobs within the city. B. Establish criteria for classifying green businesses and jobs, allowing for flexibility as new developments in green industry and business practices arise. COBENEFITS The city will develop a database of all green businesses including the number and types of green jobs in Clearwater. The city will need to establish criteria for classifying green businesses and jobs, allowing for flexibility as new developments in green industry and business practices arise. This data can be collected through surveys, online business searches, and phone interviews with the development community and industry organizations. Clearwater can use the business tax receipt application and renewal process to facilitate data collection. 12.2.- Best Practices Sharing A. Recognize businesses that have received LEED, FGBC, Florida Green Lodging Program, and Ocean Friendly certifications on the city website. COBENEFITS The city Sustainability & Resilience website will recognize businesses that have received green certifications from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), the Florida Green Lodging Program, and Ocean Allies certified Ocean Friendly. The city will also develop a system to recognize and profile other businesses that are taking steps to become more sustainable and resource efficient Green Economy ( Page 94 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 without pursuing certifications. The profiles will highlight best practices and the environmental, economic, and social benefits of different companies’ efforts. 12.3.- Green Job Development A. Become a member of Florida Local Environmental Resource Agencies (FLERA). B. Connect unemployed and underemployed people to local green job opportunities. C. Partner with existing institutions and organizations like St. Petersburg College and CareerSource Pinellas to offer workforce training programs in green job skills. COBENEFITS In conjunction with generating green jobs locally, the city will also work to connect people who may be unemployed or underemployed to these new opportunities. The city will partner with existing institutions and organizations, like St. Petersburg College and CareerSource Pinellas, to offer workforce training programs in green job skills, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste reduction, food production, and green building. The program will be implemented in tandem with programs and initiatives that are available in Clearwater to ensure that training results in job placement. 12.4.- Green Guide A. Partner with tourism-based businesses and other local tourism agencies to create a green guide that promotes local businesses that commit to green practices. B. Increase participation in green business designation programs by the hospitality industry (e.g., the Florida Green Lodging Program). COBENEFITS Many businesses in Clearwater rely on tourism, including local hotels, restaurants, real estate rentals, tour operators, and visitor travel outlets. People now want to spend money Green Economy ( Page 95 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 at businesses that align with their personal values. As a result, the city will partner with these tourism-based businesses and other local tourism agencies to create a green guide that promotes local businesses that have made a commitment to green practices. This partnership can also create participation in green business designation programs for the hospitality industry, such as the Florida Green Lodging Program, and for other types of businesses that qualify under programs such as Pinellas County’s Green Business Partnership. The city may choose to create its own designation criteria or registration program in implementing this strategy. 12.5.- Regional Partnerships A. Continue to partner with local and regional organizations and focus on devising new strategies to attract green businesses to the area. B. Leverage economic development centers to spur local economic development in the green business sector. COBENEFITS Economic development centers can be leveraged to spur local economic development in the green business sector. Collaborations are being developed at many levels in the Tampa Bay region, from local municipalities, including the city, up to regional levels like the Tampa Bay Partnership which encompasses eight counties. In 2015, Clearwater Business SPARK was formed to provide a variety of services to developing businesses, including educational resources, mentoring programs, and networking opportunities. The city’s Economic Development department also directs businesses and entrepreneurs to additional facilities and programs, such as the Tampa Bay Innovation Center (TBIN). TBIN is committed to cultivating entrepreneurs and developing technology startups. Other regional organizations include the Tampa Bay Entrepreneur Center, Tampa Bay Wave, USF Connect, and Pasco SmartStart. The city will also become a member of Florida Local Environmental Resource Agencies (FLERA), an organization formed in the 1960s that aims to enhance communication, education, and advocacy for Florida local environmental protection efforts. The city will continue to partner with local and regional organizations and will focus on devising new strategies to specifically attract green businesses to the area. Green Economy ( Page 96 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 12.6.- Municipal Green Revolving Fund A. Develop a municipal GRF to fund sustainable projects and uphold cost-effective services. COBENEFITS A Green Revolving Fund (GRF) is an internal funding pool that is reserved for financing energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy projects, and other sustainability projects that produce a cost savings. A portion of those savings are then used to replenish the fund and enable an organization to reinvest in future sustainable projects that produce similar savings. Thus, a revolving source of capital is generated to facilitate more green projects and financial savings. The city will develop a municipal GRF to fund sustainable projects and uphold cost-effective services. The Better Buildings Solution Center, a program of the U.S. Department of Energy, offers a number of tools and example programs that the city can use to form its own GRF. 12.7.- Green Purchasing Policy A. Develop a “Green Purchasing Policy” to encourage the purchase of environmentally preferable products that mitigate the city’s environmental impact. B. Create procedures to help departments make the most sustainable purchases possible. In order to ensure that the city is purchasing goods and services that best align with the city’s environmental values and sustainability goals, the city will develop a Green Purchasing Policy to encourage the purchasing of environmentally preferable products that improves the city’s overall impact on the environment. Preferred products or services are those that have the most positive effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose. When considering a product, the entire life cycle of that product should be assessed. In addition to this policy, the city will create procedures to help departments make the most sustainable purchases.

On our journey towards sustainability, we will each learn about and experience new technologies, world events, and perspectives. Changes will happen and our community must remain adaptable and innovative. The Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 is a living document, intended to grow and change to meet the needs of the city as a whole. The city is committed to monitoring Strategy progress and updating the plan to reflect advancements and additions, but it will need your help to succeed. How to make an impact: 1. VISIT OUR WEBSITE, myclearwater.com/sustainability, to find additional resources to live a more sustainable lifestyle. 2. STAY INFORMED and sign up to be notified of news and events by joining the city’s email list. 3. SHOW UP to city meetings and events. Participating in City Council meeting or learning more at a city-sponsored educational event can greatly support the city’s sustainability efforts. 4. SIGN UP to volunteer with a local non-profit organization or to join a city clean-up event. 5. START A CONVERSATION about sustainability with your family and friends. Increasing the awareness in our community is one of the greatest things we can do to make a difference. Concluding Remarks Clearwater’s most important assets are its people. Photo Credit: City of Clearwater Photo Credit: Jorge Rivas Appendix I.- Strategies Not Included ( Page I.1 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Waste Reduction – Pay-As-You-Throw A Pay-As-You-Throw program was considered by the Solid Waste/Recycling department to reduce the amount of material sent to the Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy facility and landfill. It was decided that a more effective method of reducing waste would be to implement a single-stream recycling program. This decreased the need to collect garbage from twice a week to once a week. The city has seen 20% reduction in trash production since the program was introduced. Commercial Recycling Since the first edition of Clearwater Greenprint in 2011, the city of Clearwater’s Solid Waste and Recycling Department has provided education to commercial businesses in the forms of waste audits, educational posters, and presentations. This Clearwater Greenprint also suggested that the city should propose an ordinance to mandate recycling by commercial establishments. However, the global recycling market is vastly different than it was 10 years ago and mandating commercial recycling is not feasible for the city at this time. To re- establish robust and secure recycling programs, the city is focusing on improving the quality of its residential and commercial recycling programs rather than solely the quantity of materials at this time. Appendix I.- Strategies No Longer Included Appendix II.- Implementation and Monitoring Methodology ( Page II.1 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Purpose This appendix presents Implementation and Measurement Methodologies for tracking progress on Strategies. It also details other technical information gathered and used throughout the report alongside assumptions made in the measurement of Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Strategies. Each Strategy’s Implementation and Measurement Methodologies is assigned a timeframe for completion based on the section 3, Target Timelines. Assumptions During the creation of Clearwater Greenprint 2.0, Clearwater staff serving on the Sustainability and Resilience Committee were asked to fill out a short survey to better understand the city’s priorities and capacities for improving Clearwater’s response to climate change in the next 30 years. The survey consisted of the following questions: 1. Which of these activities do you think will have the greatest positive impact on the city of Clearwater? (Choose your Top 3) 2. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of public outreach and education activities related to sustainability. 3. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of training certain staff on sustainable practices. 4. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of updating codes and other regulating documents (not including implementation). 5. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of upgrading, rehabilitating, or replacing any municipal infrastructure or equipment to a more energy efficient or environmentally friendly standard. 6. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of coordinating programs and outreach in collaboration with local and regional agencies/organizations. 7. Using the scale below, rate the cost and benefit of applying for and managing grants. 8. Please select the primary activity you are involved in. Appendix II.- Implementation & Measurement Methodologies Appendix II.- Implementation and Monitoring Methodology ( Page II.2 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Staff’s responses to these questions are summarized in Table II.1 and Figure II.1 below. Staff’s input and budget documentation were used to estimate the costs and benefits of strategies based on their Core Topics. The Implementation and Implementation and Measurement Methodologies contained in this report are based on the following overarching assumptions: • Annual budget allocations to various departments will remain the same, • The relative cost and benefit rating assigned by staff to each action reflects the typical scope for their department or division, and • Staff will review the recommendations contained in this Appendix and draft a final budget for the accomplishment of the monitoring methodologies contained within this report. In addition to the foregoing assumptions and limitations, Implementation and Measurement Methodologies outlined in all Core Topics may necessitate legal review which should occur prior to any budgetary appropriations, applications for grant funding, or any similar expenditure associated with the recommendations set forth in this document. To ensure the health and safety of city staff and attendees, all activities involving gatherings of people described in this document will abide by pertinent health advisories in effect in addition to applicable state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations.

Categorization of the relative cost and benefit of the Education and Awareness Core Topic Strategies is provided in Figure II.2.- Administrative and Social Strategies. Strategies in this graphic represent a grouping of Strategies considered to be within similar range of cost to implement. In addition to Education and Awareness, the graphic includes strategies from Green Energy and Buildings, Livability, Local Food, and Green Economy. Strategies within the Education and Awareness Core Topic are largely limited by budgetary allocation and staff hours and consist of programming and data management. The proposed strategies assume the city of Clearwater’s willingness to establish programs, create and maintain databases, launch information collection campaigns, and take other necessary measures to implement the actions described in this section. Feasibility of implementation would be established after budget and hour allocation is determined by staff. Once this occurs, metrics such as number of attendees, number of registrants, attendee demographics, number of downloads, clicks, or website traffic may be used to gauge the success of activities.

Categorization of the relative cost and benefit of the Transportation Core Topic Strategies is provided in Figure II.3.- Transportation Strategies. For Implementation and Measurement Methodologies in this Core Topic it is assumed that sufficient permissions to alter county, state, and federal roads will be attained from the appropriate governing agencies and that work carried out will be consistent with other governing documents, including the city’s existing Complete Streets Plan. Major limitations to implementation of Strategies within this Core Topic are eliciting widespread behavioral change for use of alternative modes of transportation to achieve Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) reduction targets, and anticipated major structural changes, including adoption of electric vehicles, remote work, or autonomous vehicles. These changes affect the goals identified by Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 in many ways, including by reducing gas tax revenue used for roadway infrastructure improvements, and changing the metrics (e.g., VMT) by which greenhouse gas emissions are typically measured. A.

Livability The following section provides the Implementation and Measurement Methodologies for Livability Core Topic Strategies. Categorization of the relative cost and benefit of the Livability Core Topic Strategies is provided in Figure II.2.- Administrative and Social Strategies. Similar to the Green Energy and Buildings Core Topic area, Strategies within the Livability Core Topic area pivot on the assumption that the approval process for each project is informed by its financial feasibility (“project pro-forma”) as well as fiscal impact analyses under two conditions: one with the proposed climate change mitigation measure and one without. In addition to this, it is also assumed that the city will measure equity and inclusion. Though this consideration applies to all Strategies within the Clearwater Greenprint 2.0, issues of equity and inclusion are particularly relevant for those of the Livability Core Topic area. This is because most of the area’s Strategies involve improvements that typically occur in small geographic areas (e.g., new construction and building retrofits) and are likely to affect historically under-resourced populations. To measure equity, the city will define measures that quantify the qualitative aspects of livability. To this end, factors such as aesthetics, and emotion may be monitored by way of routine survey of the city’s stakeholders (e.g., residents, workers, and business-owners). Surveys may ask stakeholders to rate their levels of satisfaction with city services, or the physical condition of the built environment. A. Continue to provide for mixed-use development in livable, transit-oriented neighborhoods • Coordinate implementation with Strategies 5.6, 6.4, 6.6, 6.8, and 6.12. B. Improve regulation, investment, and incentives that will fulfill residents’ household and transportation needs • Coordinate with Strategy 6.1 and evaluate and specify finance mechanism such as revolving loan or letter of credit support amounts city will provide.

B. Maintain the historic designation process to ensure that historically significant properties and neighborhoods remain stable, well-maintained, and available for long-term use • Measure potential savings from historic designation. • Consider conducting a cost benefit analysis through literature search or direct analysis to determine if there are property value increases due to historic designation and carbon footprint savings from rehabilitation vs demolition and reconstruction. • Conduct pro-forma analysis and fiscal impact analysis to determine profitability and fiscal revenue conditions of proposed project. • Employ Public Private Partnership (P3) mechanisms to help assure minimum profitability standards to help assure project financial viability. • Employ tax increment financing (TIF) capture, synthetic sales tax, or other mechanisms to help offset costly capital requirements; thereby helping assure project financial viability. C. Continue to implement a brownfield program and identify incentives such as tax credits for brownfield and greyfield development • Coordinate implementation with Strategy 6.1. D. Consider partnership with an educational institution or non-profit organization to demonstrate the benefits of compost in a pilot program or through a publication • Identify 10 pilot compost sites and provide bins, scales and operational instruction to weigh and measure compost material by volume to illustrate weight and volume metrics of landfill savings per home. • Track data and report in educational outreach events. • Pursue financial incentives to offset some of the cost of brownfield remediation and promote reuse of land. • Where remediation is needed, consider the addition of compost as an amendment to disturbed land.

Globally, economic and population growth continued to be the most important drivers of increases in CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Changes in many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since about 1950. Some of these changes have been linked to human influences, including a decrease in cold temperature extremes, an increase in warm temperature extremes, an increase in extreme high sea levels and an increase in the number of heavy precipitation events in a number of regions”. In short, the Earth is already responding to climate change drivers introduced by mankind. Temperatures and Extreme Events are Increasing Globally Surface temperature is projected to rise over the 21st century under all assessed emission scenarios. It is very likely that heat waves will occur more often and last longer, and that extreme precipitation events will become more intense and frequent in many regions. The ocean will continue to warm and acidify, and global mean sea level to rise. Changes in many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since about 1950. Some of these changes have been linked to human influences, including a decrease in cold temperature extremes, an increase in warm temperature extremes, an increase in extreme high sea levels and an increase in the number of heavy precipitation events in a number of regions.iii Appendix III.- Climate Change Science Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.2 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Figure 1 Observations and other indicators of a changing global climate systemiv Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.3 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Figure 2 Change in average surface temperature (a) and change in average precipitation (b) based on multi-model mean projections for 2081–2100 relative to 1986–2005 under the RCP2.6 (left) and RCP8.5 (right) scenarios. Climate Risks Climate change is projected to undermine food security. Due to projected climate change by the mid-21st century and beyond, global marine species redistribution and marine biodiversity reduction in sensitive regions will challenge the sustained provision of fisheries productivity and other ecosystem services. For wheat, rice and maize in tropical and temperate regions, climate change without adaptation is projected to negatively impact production for local temperature increases of 2°C or more above late 20th century levels, although individual locations may benefit. Global temperature increases of ~4°C or more above late 20th century levels, combined with increasing food demand, would pose large risks to food security globally. Climate change is projected to reduce renewable surface water and groundwater resources in most dry subtropical region, intensifying competition for water among sectors. Until mid-century, projected climate change will impact human health mainly by exacerbating health problems that already exist. Throughout the 21st century, climate change is expected to lead to increases in ill-health in many regions and especially in Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.4 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 developing countries with low income, as compared to a baseline without climate change. Health impacts include greater likelihood of injury and death due to more intense heat waves and fires, increased risks from foodborne and waterborne diseases and loss of work capacity and reduced labor productivity in vulnerable populations. Risks of undernutrition in poor regions will increase. Risks from vector-borne diseases are projected to generally increase with warming, due to the extension of the infection area and season, despite reductions in some areas that become too hot for disease vectors. In urban areas climate change is projected to increase risks for people, assets, economies and ecosystems, including risks from heat stress, storms and extreme precipitation, inland and coastal flooding, landslides, air pollution, drought, water scarcity, sea level rise and storm surges. These risks are amplified for those lacking essential infrastructure and services or living in exposed areas. Rural areas are expected to experience major impacts on water availability and supply, food security, infrastructure and agricultural incomes, including shifts in the production areas of food and non-food crops around the world. Climate change is projected to increase displacement of people. Populations that lack the resources for planned migration experience higher exposure to extreme weather events, particularly in developing countries with low income. Climate change can indirectly increase risks of violent conflicts by amplifying well-documented drivers of these conflicts such as poverty and economic shocks.v Regional and Local Impacts Because the impacts of climate change vary geographically. The Tampa Bay region is frequently ranked as an area with the most vulnerability to climate change risks. These risks include increased intensity of extreme weather events, heat, precipitation, sea level, and vector-borne diseases. Numbers in ovals (Figure 3) indicate regional totals of climate change publications from 2001 to 2010, based on the Scopus bibliographic database for publications in English with individual countries mentioned in title, abstract or key words (as of July 2011). These numbers provide an overall measure of the available scientific literature on climate change across regions; they do not indicate the number of publications supporting attribution of climate change impacts in each region. Studies for polar regions and small islands are grouped with neighboring continental regions.vi Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.5 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 Figure 3 Climate impacts around the world. Symbols indicate categories of attributed impacts, the relative contribution of climate change (major or minor) to the observed impact and confidence in attribution. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Must be Reduced Limiting risks across Reasons For Concern (a) would imply a limit for cumulative emissions of CO2 (b) which would constrain annual GHG emissions over the next few decades (c). Panel A reproduces the five Reasons For Concern. Panel b (Figure 4) links temperature changes to cumulative CO2 emissions (in GtCO2) from 1870. They are based on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 simulations (pink plume) and on a simple climate model (median climate response in 2100), for the baselines and five mitigation scenario categories (six ellipses). Panel c shows the relationship between the cumulative CO2 emissions (in GtCO2) of the scenario categories and their associated change in annual GHG emissions by 2050, expressed in percentage change (in percent GtCO2-eq per year) relative to 2010. The ellipses correspond to the same scenario categories as in Panel b, and are built with a similar method.vii Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.6 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 The recent and massive buildup of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere is conceivably even more extraordinary than changes observed thus far regarding temperature, sea level, and snow cover in the Northern hemisphere in that current levels greatly exceed recorded precedent going back much further than the modern temperature record. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the pre-industrial era driven largely by economic and population growth. From 2000 to 2010 emissions were the highest in history. Historical emissions have driven atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide to levels that are unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years, leading to an uptake of energy by the climate system.viii Figure 4: The relationship between risks from climate change, temperature change, cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and changes in annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Appendix III.- Climate Change Science ( Page III.7 ) Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 In response to the problem of climate change, many communities in the United States are taking responsibility for addressing emissions at the local level. Since many of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions are directly or indirectly controlled through local policies, local governments have a strong role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions within their boundaries. Through proactive measures around land use patterns, transportation demand management, energy efficiency, green building, and waste diversion, local governments can dramatically reduce emissions in their communities. In addition, local governments are primarily responsible for the provision of emergency services and the mitigation of natural disaster impacts. While this Plan is designed to reduce overall emissions levels, as the effects of climate change become more common and severe, local government adaptation policies will be fundamental in preserving the welfare of residents and businesses. i.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: ANX2023-09010 Agenda Date: 11/13/2023 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1 File Type: Planning CaseIn Control: Planning & Development Agenda Number: 7.1 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Medium (RM) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR) District for 2634 South Drive, together with abutting unincorporated right-of-way of South Drive, and pass Ordinances 9722-23, 9723-23, and 9724-23 on first reading. (ANX2023-09010) SUMMARY: This voluntary annexation petition involves a 1.067-acre property consisting of one parcel of land occupied by a detached dwelling. The property is located on the north side of South Drive approximately 500 feet east of US Highway 19 North. The Development Review Committee is proposing that the 0.34-acres of abutting South Drive right-of-way not currently within the city limits also be annexed. The property is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the north and west. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Medium (RM) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR). 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 Pinellas County. The closest sanitary sewer mains are located within an easement just outside the western property line and within the South Drive right-of-way. 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. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station #48 located at 1700 North Belcher Road. The city has adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, and fire and EMS service. Water service will continue to be provided by Pinellas County. 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.2.2 Future land use in the City of Clearwater shall be guided by the city’s Future Land Use Map, which shall be consistent with the Countywide Plan for Pinellas County (The Countywide Plan) including the Countywide Plan Map and shall be implemented through the city’s Community Development Code. 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 Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 11/8/2023 File Number: ANX2023-09010 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 Medium (RM) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of the property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 15 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Medium Density Residential (MDR) 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 boundaries to the north and west; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: N/A USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This voluntary annexation petition supports the Deliver Effective and Efficient Services by Optimizing City Assets and Resources goal of the city’s Strategic Plan by reducing enclaves and delivering city services to properties within the city’s service boundary. This petition also supports Ensure Exceptional Communities and Neighborhoods Where Everyone Can Thrive goal by better unifying neighborhoods and reducing issues with multiple jurisdictions.

Osceola Avenue Clearwater, FL 33755 File Number: Ord 9725-23 Agenda Date: 11/13/2023 Status: Agenda ReadyVersion: 1 File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Public Utilities Agenda Number: 8.1 SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION: Amend Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, Schedule of fees, Article XXIV, Sections 1, 3, and 4 to increase miscellaneous fees related to temporary service deposits, impact fees and miscellaneous user fees such as, special meter readings, turn-on services, meter changes and other special services that benefit a specific customer and pass Ordinance 9725-23 on first reading. SUMMARY: This miscellaneous utility fee increase is needed to provide adequate funding to maintain the City’s water and wastewater systems. Additionally, these fee increases will ensure that appropriate charges are paid by the customers receiving the services. In furtherance of the Council’s Strategic Plan to achieve High Performing Government by maintaining public infrastructure through systematic management efforts, Public Utilities regularly evaluates the sufficiency of the revenues provided by the City ’s water, sewer, and reclaimed water rates to meet both the current and future requirements of the Utility. In September 2023, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. completed a Miscellaneous Fee Analysis (Study), which evaluated the sufficiency of the revenues provided by existing water, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water rates. This Study recommends increases to these fees since they have not been updated in several years. The Study covers fiscal year (FY) 2024 through FY 2027 and recommends increases for the entire period to be effective 90 days after Council approval and annually thereafter. The increases are applicable to domestic water, lawn water, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water. This increase is intended to bring these charges in line with the actual costs to provide these services. Public Utilities (assisted by Finance) conducted an internal review and concurs with the Study’s recommendation to increase fees bringing them closer to the actual costs of providing these services. Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 11/8/2023 ORDINANCE NO. 9725-23 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES, APPENDIX A – SCHEDULE OF FEES, RATES AND CHARGES, ARTICLE XXIV PUBLIC WORKS – FEES, RATES AND CHARGES; AMENDING SECTION 1 IMPACT FEES; AMENDING SECTION 3 RATES FOR STANDBY FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS; AMENDING SECTION 4 MISCELLANEOUS ADDITIONAL CHARGES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, Appendix A, Article XXIV sets forth the schedule of fees, rates, and charges to be paid by customers of the City’s water, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water systems; WHEREAS, in September 2023, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. completed a Miscellaneous Fee Analysis (“Study”), which evaluated the sufficiency of the revenues provided by existing water, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water rates; WHEREAS, the Study recommends adjustments to temporary service deposits and increases to impact fees and miscellaneous user fees, such as special meter readings, turn-on services, meter changes, and other special services that benefit a specific customer. WHEREAS, the Study further recommends increases to these fees since they have not been updated in several years, and recovering the actual cost of specific services directly from the customer benefiting from those services will promote positive behavior and prevent the utility from spreading the costs across to all users of the system; WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Department conducted an internal review and recommends increases to these fees in order to bring the fees in accordance with the actual costs of providing these services; WHEREAS, after a properly noticed public hearing, the City Council determines that the adoption of this Ordinance is in the best interest of the City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA: SECTION 1: Appendix A, Article XXIV, Section 1 of the City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances, is amended with the following underlined language to be added and the strikethrough language to be deleted as written below: APPENDIX A – SCHEDULE OF FEES, RATES AND CHARGES ***** XXIV.

INTRODUCTION Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (“Stantec”) has conducted a Miscellaneous Fee Analysis (“Study”) for Clearwater’s (City’s) Water and Sewer Systems (“Utility”). This report describes the source data, assumptions, procedures, results, and recommendations of the Study. 1.1 BACKGROUND The City‘s Water System includes multiple wells, three water treatment plants (two of which use reverse osmosis), water storage and a distribution system. The Sewer System includes three wastewater reclamation facilities along with collection and transport systems. The City serves more than 34,000 water and sewer customers and provides approximately 11 million gallons per day of potable water, a portion of which is purchased from Pinellas County. With a keen focus on Utility financial soundness, user charge equity and because miscellaneous fees haven’t been updated in quite some time, utility management retained Stantec to perform a comprehensive analysis of select miscellaneous fees. Management’s goal was to reflect its current costs and processes, identify potential new fees currently not charged but for which the Utility provides service and understand how similar fees of other local agencies compare. For purposes of this Study, miscellaneous fees refer broadly to the Utility’s ancillary fees for specific services that supplement its base and volumetric charges or rates applied to customers for ongoing utility services. The Utility’s miscellaneous fees evaluated represent less than a percent of the Utility’s total annual revenues. However, implementing cost-based fees improves transparency, equity, and allows for review of internal processes required to perform the associated activities. Figure 1 summarizes the categories of miscellaneous fees evaluated during this Study. Figure 1 - Miscellaneous Fees Categories Customer Deposits User Fees: (Special reading, turn-on services, etc.) Private Fire Protection Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Introduction 5 1.1 OBJECTIVES The principal objectives and components of the Study are as follows: Customer Deposits Analysis – Review the Utility’s existing service deposits policy, meet with City staff to discuss constraints, and suggest updates or modifications as appropriate. User Fees Analysis – Review the Utility’s one-time user fees associated with a specific activity, or group of activities, or customer request. City staff and Stantec evaluated these fees using Stantec’s cost calculation templates to determine the costs associated with user fees, including labor, benefits, overhead, equipment and other related expenses. Fire Protection User Fees Analysis – Review the private fire protection service fees provided by the Utility in accordance with the current cost of service, Utility policy objectives, and industry practices. Water, Sewer and Lawn Impact Fees Analysis – Update the Utility’s Water, Sewer and Lawn Impact Fees and align them with the costs to provide capacity to new connections. Review and calculate these fees considering the Utility’s policies, industry accepted methodologies, and the Utility’s specific system configuration, historical and planned investments, available data, and local requirements. Benchmarking – Perform a comparison of miscellaneous fees for local agencies to help inform the implementation of new fees and changes to existing fees. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Customer Deposits 6 2. CUSTOMER DEPOSITS . 2.1 DESCRIPTION Because the Utility bills in arrears, it carries the risk of nonpayment for costs incurred for services already rendered. As such, it is common for utilities to require customers to pay a deposit prior to the start of service. The City currently requires a deposit from customers at the time of account set up, which the City remits back to customers after one year of good standing payment history or may apply to the final bill balance if the account is closed prior to the one year period. 2.2 PROPOSED CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AND IMPLEMENTATION The Utility’s deposits fall into two categories: Permanent deposits, required of connections to the Utility system without a defined turn off or end date, and Temporary deposits, which reflects connections with an anticipated turn off or end date (i.e., 10 days, 2 weeks). Permanent Services: The City’s current deposit policy for water, lawn, reclaimed and sewer permanent service is the greater of two times the minimum monthly charge or two times the average monthly bill for service for that address or service location. If there is no location history from a previous customer, the deposit is set equal to two times the minimum monthly charge. It is common within the industry for customer deposits to be based on one to four months of an average or typical bill and consistent with the Utility’s billing frequency and collection practices. Stantec recommends that the Utility continue with its current permanent deposit policy, as it avoids a common issue of utilities that have set dollar amounts listed for deposits and are not updated as often as the recurring utility rates. Thus, creating a discrepancy between the surety of the deposit and the risk the utility carries for non- payment. Temporary Services: Currently, the City collects a separate temporary water service deposit for either a one week maximum service time period or a three days maximum service time period. City staff indicated that both deposits are generally used for property clean out or move out services and that a seven-day maximum service time period deposit is most often applicable. As such, Stantec recommends the combining of these two deposits into one, Cleanup / Moveout, for temporary service not to exceed seven consecutive days and adjusting the deposit to $80 from $65. Furthermore, the City collects temporary potable water deposits by meter size. Staff indicated that temporary potable services for meter sizes larger than 2” are rarely necessitated. As such, Stantec recommends that the temporary potable water deposits be capped at the same level as the current deposit for 2” meter size, which is $900. The City’s existing deposit policy includes a temporary non-potable water deposit also known as a hydrant deposit. However, it does not include a reclaimed water deposit. Discussion with staff identified the need to add a temporary reclaimed water deposit option, as temporary reclaimed water demand has increased UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Customer Deposits 7 most recently. As such, Stantec recommends the addition of the temporary reclaimed water deposit at the same level as the non-potable (Hydrant) water deposit of $500. The existing temporary non-potable (hydrant) deposit includes an estimated usage component. Given the negligible cost benefit of estimating usage for each non-potable (hydrant) deposit request, Stantec recommends the removal of the estimated usage component of the non-potable deposit. Furthermore, the non-potable (hydrant) deposits include a $25 service charge applied to the final bill to recover administrative costs of connecting temporary services. Since both the temporary potable water and temporary reclaimed water services require administrative efforts to set up, Stantec also recommends that the $25 service charge be added to the final bills of both the temporary potable water and the reclaimed water deposits. Stantec recommends that the Utility should review these deposits every three to five years. The current and proposed deposits are presented in Appendix C along with a comparison to local benchmarking. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS User Fees 8 3. USER FEES 3.1 DESCRIPTION User fees refer to the Utility’s ancillary fees associated with the provision of specific services for individual customers. Various service charges like turn-on/off fees, meter changes and meter reading fees, are examples of the types of services for which the City has user fees. These types of activities are non- recurring in nature. The primary intent of user fees is to ensure the recipient of a specific service bears the costs associated with City providing that service or to influence customer behavior, reducing improper use of the system, such as bypassing the meter, broken locks placed on meters delinquent payments, or tampering with a hydrant. The cost of service for user fees are calculated by determining the costs, including both the time and materials, necessary to provide the service. Identification of the type of employee(s) involved in providing each service (i.e., meter reader, utility maintenance specialist, utility supervisor, customer service representative, engineering technician, and others), the materials (i.e., water meter and box, couplings, valves, and others) and vehicles and/or equipment used is the first step in developing appropriate fees. The employee(s) cost, including benefits are then added to the costs of materials, vehicles, and equipment, including allowances for any overhead allocations such as purchasing, warehousing, etc. to determine the charge for each respective service. Figure 2 outlines this process. Figure 2 – User Fee Calculation Process To facilitate the calculations, Stantec employed a standardized cost template to provide a consistent and repeatable process for assigning the activities and associated costs required for each miscellaneous fee. Through a series of multiple interviews and work sessions, Stantec and Utility staff discussed in detail the Utility’s processes and populated the templates to reflect the types and amount of cost for each miscellaneous service provided. Schedule 1 of Appendix A provides a summary of the supporting cost data and assumptions for unit labor, materials, vehicles, and equipment costs utilized in the development of miscellaneous fees. Hours Spent per Task Costs per Hour (Labor, vehicles & equipment) Unit Costs (Materials) Cost of Service UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS User Fees 9 3.2 NEW USER FEES The Utility has several existing user fees, but City staff had identified twenty-four of these as fees to be evaluated as part of this study. Furthermore, during the study, Utility staff identified one new user fee, Install New Lateral Fee (if no tap is available). Although the cost of providing this service has historically been recovered by the City based on a case-by-case calculation performed by the engineering department, City staff explained that occurrences of this work are similar in cost and a case by case calculation is not warranted. As such, a standardized process was developed to recover the cost of this work. Furthermore, City staff identified that the cost basis used in these case-by-case calculations did not include the most current labor and material costs of the Utility, thus the fee was updated and reflect the most up to date costs as detailed in Schedule 1 of Appendix A. 3.3 PROPOSED USER FEES AND IMPLEMENTATION The proposed user fees considered the potential impacts to customers, comparison to local benchmarking, and the Utility’s overall cost recovery objectives. Appendix C presents a comparison of the current fees, and proposed user fees described herein. Upon completion of the Study, Stantec will provide the final cost computation templates to the Utility for reference and future updates to reflect changes in costs and/or processes. Furthermore, Stantec recommends that City implement the proposed user fees as presented in Schedule 2 of Appendix C and review these fees every three to five years to account for changes in the Utility’s costs of providing the services and/or changes in processes that may occur. It is noteworthy that two of the Utility’s proposed user fees reflect partial cost recovery, the Turn on and Turn-off fees, to be more closely aligned with the identified costs but also more comparable to the benchmarking range. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Fire Protection Charges 10 4. FIRE PROTECTION CHARGES 4.1 DESCRIPTION The Utility incurs costs to provide fire protection services throughout its water distribution system to ensure the availability and appropriate pressure of water to address firefighting needs. Fire protection (both public and private) services differ from the other water services provided by the City in that these services are provided on a standby basis and are not extensively used but must be available. Utilities provide public fire protection via a network of fire hydrants often located within rights-of-way for the benefit of the system. Customers with private fire protection services are usually commercial or large residential customers with dedicated lines for additional fire protection beyond what a water system provides in overall system public fire protection. For cost recovery purposes, the City has historically recognized that costs associated with the provision of public fire protection are shared amongst all the system’s customers through their rates and charges and assesses a separate charge for customers with private fire lines or hydrants with standby service. This cost recovery approach is consistent with industry practice as outlined in the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) Manual of Water Supply Practices M1, Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, seventh edition. 4.2 COST BASIS Since the City does not have a recent base extra capacity or commodity demand cost allocation study, the Maine Public Utilities Commission fire protection curve which is based on population and peak hour water demands, was used to determine total costs of fire protection, as outlined in the AWWA Manual of Water Supply Practices M1, Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, seventh edition. As such, Stantec reviewed the Utility’s water system cost of service, peak hour demands, and population served with staff and identified the portion of system costs associated with providing public and private fire protection as summarized in Table 4-1. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Fire Protection Charges 11 Table 4-1 - Fire Protection Costs 4.3 RESULTS After identifying the total fire protection costs, Stantec used the Utility’s units of service provided by City staff (i.e., number of public and private fire hydrants and private fire lines) and the cost of service associated with providing private fire protection as summarized in Table 4-2. Table 4-2 - Allocation of Fire Protection Costs1 1 Assumes a demand factor of 111.31 for 6-in. fire lines based on the Hazen-Williams equation for flow through pressure conduits as diameter raised to power of 2.63. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Fire Protection Charges 12 Table 4-3 summarizes the calculated annual and monthly unit cost of service associated with private fire protection services and the resulting cost of service compared to the Utility’s current fees. Table 4-3 - Private Fire Protection Unit Costs and Current Fee Comparison 4.4 PROPOSED FEES AND IMPLEMENTATION As summarized, the Utility’s cost of service is higher than the current private fire protection fees. As such, Stantec recommends increasing the Utility’s standby fire protection service fees to reflect the cost of service in a four-year phase in approach starting in FY 2024. This phased in approach is presented in Appendix C. Furthermore, Stantec recommends that the Utility update these fees more regularly (every four to five years) as part of a rate study given their more recurring nature. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 13 5. WATER, SEWER, AND LAWN IMPACT FEES 5.1 DESCRIPTION Within the water and wastewater industries, an impact fee2 is a one-time fee paid by a new customer for infrastructure and facilities needed to provide capacity and by existing customers requiring increased system capacity. Such fees are the mechanism to provide capacity for new customers and minimize the extent to which existing customers must bear the cost of facilities used to serve new customers. In general, these fees are based upon the costs of major backbone infrastructure necessary to provide service to all customers, including water supply facilities, treatment facilities, effluent disposal facilities, and water and sewer transmission mains. The City currently assesses these fees to recover the cost of capacity from additional connections to each respective system on new and upsized water, wastewater, and lawn (irrigation). Periodic review of impact fees helps to ensure that the level of fees provide an accurate representation of the Utility’s current unit costs to provide capacity. The City’s fees have not been updated in several years. As such, Utility staff requested a review and update of its water, sewer, and lawn impact fees in the Study. 5.2 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS Stantec takes a conservative approach in developing capital (capacity related) charges for new utility infrastructure in Florida (such as the City’s impact fees) consistent with the statutory guidelines of the Florida Impact Fee Act, which was created in 2006 by Senate Bill 1194, outlined in Section 163.31801 of the Florida Statutes. Most notably, this legislation requires 1) that the calculation of impact fees be based upon the most recent, localized data, 2) separate reporting/accounting of impact fee revenue and expenditures in a distinct fund, 3) that the administrative charges collected in impact fees be based upon actual costs, and 4) that 90 days’ notice be given prior to the effective date of an ordinance or resolution imposing a new or increased impact fee. The courts and the referenced legislation have fundamentally addressed three areas associated with the development of impact fees. These areas include: 1) “fair share” allocations dealing with payment of impact fees by the affected property owners, 2) “rational nexus” standards, which focus on the expenditure or purpose of the fees, and 3) “credit” allowances, which recognize offsets in the calculation of impact fees. The “fair share” allocations would require that an impact fee should only be used for capital expenditures that are attributable to new growth. Additionally, the “fair share” allocation principles recognize that the cost of facilities used by both existing customers and new development must be apportioned between the two user groups, such that the user groups are treated equally, and one group does not subsidize the other. 2 Often referred to throughout the industry as capital charges, system development charges, capacity charges, impact fees, or connection fees. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 14 The “rational nexus” standards require that there be a reasonable relationship between the need for capital facilities and the benefits received by new customers for which the impact fees will be expended. There are two general conditions that limit where and when impact fees can be collected and used. With respect to the first condition, although there is no specific limit as to distance between an applicant paying the facilities charges and the capital expenditure to be constructed by the charge, there should be a general geographical relationship between charge collection and use. The second nexus condition recognizes that the property must receive a benefit from the service for which the impact fees are being applied. With respect to the water and sewer impact fees, the water and sewer facilities are used by and constructed on behalf of all the customers of the Utility, and they benefit both residential and commercial customers. As such, all new growth requesting capacity from the Utility (either water, lawn and/or sewer) should be subject to impact fees. The “credit” allowances recognize that if a public agency has received property or infrastructure in the form of cost-free capital or if there is another revenue source that will be used for the capital expenditures necessitated by new growth (i.e., debt financing), a credit should be included within the development of impact fees. Specifically, “credits” should be determined as part of calculating impact fees to recognize any grants, contributions by developers, assessments, and other sources that provide funds for the same capital expenditures included in the impact fees to avoid a double recovery of costs. The development of updated unit costs of capacity, impact fees, for the City in this Study was done consistent with the aforementioned guidelines and practices for impact fees in Florida. 5.3 METHODOLOGY There are three primary approaches for the calculation of impact fees within the industry: Buy-In – This approach uses the value of the utility’s existing assets as the basis for the fee calculation. This approach is most appropriate for a system with considerable excess capacity such that most new connections to the system will be served by that existing available capacity or when a utility does not have substantial or representative growth and expansion related projects planned in its capital improvement plan (CIP). Incremental – This approach uses a utility’s planned multi-year CIP to determine projects that are associated with the provision of additional system capacity as the cost basis for the fee. This approach is most appropriate where 1) the existing system has limited excess capacity to accommodate growth, and 2) the CIP has a substantial number of projects that provide additional system capacity for each functional system component to be representative of the cost of capacity for an entire system. Combined – This approach uses the system’s existing assets as well as the growth-related CIP as the cost basis for the fee calculation. This approach is most appropriate to use when 1) there is excess capacity in the existing system that will accommodate some growth, but additional capacity is needed in the relative short-term as reflected in the CIP, and 2) the CIP includes significant projects that will provide additional system capacity but does not necessarily have sufficient projects in each functional component to be reflective of a total system. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 15 The Study used the buy-in approach as the cost basis for the water, sewer, and lawn impact fees because the Utility can accommodate near-term growth with the current capacity, and it does not have significant expansion projects identified in the near-term to be able to serve new growth or redevelopment. As such, the buy-in approach represents the most current estimate of a unit cost for system capacity. The first step in calculating the fees was to determine the cost basis for each major system (water and sewer) function (i.e., transmission, treatment, supply, disposal). The second step was to determine each system’s capacities by functional cost component as stated in terms of ERUs. 5.4 SYSTEM VALUE – COST BASIS The accounting records for the Utility’s existing and in-service assets serve as the basis to determine the water and sewer system’s value. Stantec evaluated the Utility’s fixed asset listing, accounting records of assets, which included an asset number and description, location description, purchase date or year in service, useful life, and net book value of each asset. Stantec removed contributed assets (assets contributed by a developer or received at no cost such as grants), and assets with a useful life of 10 years or less and original value of $50,000 or less, as minor vehicles and equipment that do not represent investment in backbone or capacity related infrastructure. Stantec then allocated each fixed asset by its corresponding system and functional cost components and provided that allocation list to Utility staff for review. Water assets were functionalized by supply/treatment and distribution, whereas sewer assets were functionalized by treatment/disposal and collection. General and Administrative assets were split amongst each functional component based on their share of the direct asset allocation. To determine the current system value, FY 2022 replacement cost, for the water and sewer systems, Stantec escalated the net book value of each asset utilizing the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index and the year the City placed each asset in service 3. In this way, Stantec identified the value of the water and sewer systems stated in terms of replacement cost new less depreciation (RCNLD). A sewer interlocal agreement between the Cities of Clearwater and Safety Harbor allocates 4 million gallons per day (MGD) of capacity in the sewer system, from the North East Plant’s total 13.5 MGD of capacity, to the City of Safety Harbor. As such, 29.6% (4 ÷ 13.5) of the value of assets associated with the North East Plant were excluded from the impact fee calculation as “capacity allocated to Safety Harbor”. Schedule 1 of Appendix B provides the Utility’s fixed assets in service, RCNLD, and applicable allocations for calculation of the water and sewer impact fees under the buy-in approach. Once the RCNLD was determined for the water and sewer systems, a credit was applied to the respective system value in recognition of outstanding debt incurred to fund the existing system in service. Upon connection to the system, new customers will begin will pay recurring monthly rates which recover the cost 3 Land assets were escalated using Bank of International Settlement, Real Residential Property Prices for United States index. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 16 of existing debt service. Therefore, to avoid a double recovery a credit is given within the impact fee calculation. 5.5 SYSTEM CAPACITY – EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNITS (ERUS) Once the total cost basis of each system by functional cost component was determined, the next step was to determine the system capacities as stated in terms of equivalent residential units (ERUs). Expressing the system capacities in terms of ERUs allows for the development of the unit pricing of capacity which is essential for the determination of water and sewer impact fees. The total system capacity stated in MGD for each system divided by the level of service stated in terms of gallons per day (GPD) per ERU is equal to the total number of ERUs that the Utility can serve with the identified infrastructure outlined herein. Figure 3 provides a summary of the conversion calculation from system capacity stated in terms of flow to capacity in ERUs. Figure 3 - Equivalent Residential Units Calculation The City’s water and sewer systems consist of numerous functional components such as water treatment, source of supply, transmission, and storage. Each of the functional components have a physical or regulatory permitted capacity. While treatment, supply, and disposal capacities are generally accepted to be either the physical or regulatory permitted capacity of such facilities and are readily available, transmission system capacities are more difficult to quantify. Therefore, it is common to define the capacity for all functional components (including the transmission facilities) based on the system’s total treatment capacity. This approach was utilized for the determination of the Utility’s system capacities. The rationale is that even if the transmission and pumping portion of either system is larger than that system’s treatment capacity, the only capacity the system can offer to its users is its total treatment capacity. Table 5-1 summarizes the capacity by function used in the fee calculation. It is important to note that 4.0 MGD of sewer capacity allocated to Safety Harbor was removed from this calculation along with its representative asset value as discussed in section 5.4 of this report. A such, total sewer system capacity is 24.5 MGD rather than the full 28.5 MGD. The water and sewer system capacities reflect existing assets in service rather than future capacities.

The “level of service” means an indicator of the extent or degrees of service provided by, or proposed by a facility, based on, and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. Utilities establish level of service standards to ensure provision of adequate facility capacity for future development and for purposes of issuing development orders or permits. For water and sewer systems, the level of service is the amount of capacity allocable to an ERU expressed as the amount of usage in gallons. This reflects the amount of capacity allowable per ERU represented by a 5/8”. or 3/4" meter equivalent for a single-family residence, whether they use such capacity or not. The Utility’s level of service was defined by the City’s most recent Comprehensive Plan, which is 100 gallons per day (gpd) per capita for both water and sewer service. U.S. Census data for the City of Clearwater area as of June 2023 reflects 2.3 persons per household. As such the level of service per household or 1 ERU is 230 gallons per day as summarized in Table 5-2. Table 5-2 - Level of Service Description Water Wastewater Notes Demand per Capita (GPD) 100 100 City’s Comprehensive Plan Persons per Household 2.30 2.30 U.S. Census data (City of Clearwater) Level of Service (GPD) 230 230 Line 1 X Line 2 Lawn (Irrigation) Impact Fees Stantec performed an analysis of the City’s FY 2022 billing records and identified that an average lawn customer uses 52.18 gallons per day. Given that an equivalent residential unit requires 230 gallons per day, the lawn impact fee is calculated to reflect 23% that of an equivalent residential unit (52.18 gpd ÷ 230 gpd). Lawn impact fees are intended to capture incremental demands associated with irrigation above what is effectively included in the domestic water demand level of service assumptions. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 18 5.7 RESULTS After determining the cost basis, net RCNLD, of each system and the number of ERUs that each system can serve, unit costs of capacity are determined by dividing the cost basis by the total number of ERU’s a system can serve. Figure 4 presents the calculated unit costs of capacity by system (water, sewer and lawn) at full (100%) cost recovery and compares them against the City’s current impact fees. This comparison demonstrates that the City’s existing impact fees, which have been in place for decades, are lower than, the Utility’s true cost of capacity. Details of the calculated fees are presented in Schedules 4, 5 and 6 of Appendix B. Figure 4 - Current and Calculated Water, Sewer and Lawn Impact Fees Per ERU 5.8 BENCHMARKING – IMPACT FEES As part of the analysis, Stantec performed a comparison of local communities to identify the market range of water and sewer capital charges like the Utility’s water and sewer impact fees for a single-family residential customer (one ERU). These comparisons are presented, but an in-depth analysis has not been performed to identify the methods used in the development of the water and sewer capacity charges imposed by the other utilities, nor has any analysis been performed to determine whether all of the cost of new facilities is recovered from such fees (or if some percentages of the costs are recovered through user rates). Additionally, Stantec did not conduct an analysis as to the types of capital facilities currently in service or planned for the utilities surveyed which could have material differences. As such, these types of comparisons often reflect wide variations between communities. Water and sewer impact fees may differ among utilities for a variety of reasons including the following:  Source of supply and proximity thereto  Type and complexity of treatment  Effluent disposal method $480 $900 $70 $880 $978 $202 $- $200 $400 $600 $800 $1,000 $1,200 Water Sewer Lawn Current Calculated UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 19  Density of service area  Availability of grant funding to finance Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)  Age of system  Utility life cycle (i.e., growth-oriented vs. mature)  Level of service standards  Methodology used and date or period of last fee update. Figure 5 presents the results of the local comparison, which demonstrate that the Utility’s existing and calculated water and sewer impact fees are among the lowest within the surveyed utility systems, but the calculated fees are consistent with Stantec’s industry experience and knowledge of current impact fees throughout Florida. Figure 5 - Water and Sewer Impact Fees Comparison $480 $352 $984 $352 $2,253 $2,733 $2,159 $1,609 $1,863 $2,214 $1,050 $900 $1,992 $1,390 $2,060 $1,570 $1,237 $1,834 $2,931 $2,951 $3,651 $0 $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 St. Petersburg Clearwater - Current Largo Oldsmar Pinellas County Tarpon Springs Tampa Dunedin Pasco County Hillsborough County - NW Hillsborough County - South/Central Water Sewer UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Water, Sewer, and Lawn Impact Fees 20 5.9 PROPOSED FEES AND IMPLEMENTATION Recent and relevant updates to the Florida Impact Fee Act (“Act”) legislation4 limits impact fee increases to 50%. In fact, the Act defines that any fee increases between 0% and 25% should be implemented in two equal increments and a fee increase greater than 25% but equal to or less than 50% should be implemented in four equal increments. Furthermore, impact fees may not increase more than once every 4 years. Since it is Stantec’s conservative approach to follow Florida Impact Fee Act guidelines, Stantec developed a phased approach to implementing increases to the Utility’s water, sewer and lawn impact fees. The phased in approach for one equivalent residential unit is outlined in Table 5-3, fees for larger connection sizes are shown in Appendix C. Table 5-3 - Proposed Water, Sewer and Lawn Impact Fees Per ERU System Current FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 FY 2026 Water Impact Fees ($/ERU) $480 $540 $600 $660 $720 Sewer Impact Fees ($/ERU) $900 $939 $978 $978 $978 Lawn Impact Fees ($/ERU) $70 $79 $88 $96 $105 Total ($/ERU) $1,450 $1,558 $1,666 $1,734 $1,803 Total $ Change - $108 $108 $68 $69 Total % Change - 7.4% 6.9% 4.1% 4.0% These increases result in impact fees that are closer to the actual cost of the infrastructure to support new growth and will minimize the impact to existing customers to support the Utility’s growth. Additionally, Stantec recommends that the Utility review these fees periodically (i.e., every four to five years) to ensure that they remain fair and equitable and continue to reflect the most current cost of capacity. As the Utility experiences changes in system capacity, future changes in technology, demands, development patterns, or other factors may necessitate additional adjustments to its water, sewer and lawn impact fees. Lastly Stantec recommends that the City adopt fees by meter sizes based on AWWA meter equivalent factors for 5/8” meters for all other sizes. Detailed proposed fees by meter size are presented in Appendix C. 4 HB 337 signed into law in June 2021 with changes to the Florida Impact Fee Act. This legislation limits increases to impact fees to 50%. Increases below 25% are to be spread out over a two-year period while increases between 25% and 50% are to be phased in over four years. UTILITY MISCELLANEOUS FEES ANALYSIS Benchmarking 21 6. BENCHMARKING As part of the Miscellaneous Fee Study, Stantec conducted benchmarking to compare the Utility’s existing and proposed user fees and fire protection fees to those of other local governments throughout the Tampa Bay Region. The surveyed entities included City of Tampa, City of Largo, City of Oldsmar, Pasco County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, City of Dunedin, City of Tarpon Springs, and City of St. Petersburg. Information compiled for this survey from sources such as rate schedules and ordinances, websites, and calls to staff. Stantec completed the benchmarking analysis during May and June of 2023 and reflects then- current fees. Utility systems make individual choices as to what types of user fees they employ and how they recover the costs of these services. As a result, the number of and type of these fees varies between systems. Therefore, this benchmarking analysis compares similar fees for the surveyed systems where applicable. Appendix C documents the minimum and maximum benchmarking range each fee. 6.1 MISCELLANEOUS FEES Figure 6 summarizes the number of fees below, within and above the observed benchmarking. range5.

As such, the benchmarking identified a wide range of results by fire line size (as summarized in Appendix C). Currently, the City’s existing charges fall within the range of the benchmarked utilities for 6” or smaller fire line sizes but below the benchmarking range for larger line sizes. 6.3 WATER AND SEWER IMPACT FEES Section 5.8 of this Report provides the results of the benchmarking analysis of water and sewer impact fees. None of the surveyed utilities had an irrigation (lawn) impact fee. The City’s sewer impact fee was the lowest in the comparison. When considered together, the City’s water and sewer impact fees were the second lowest of the surveyed communities.

These vehicles and equipment have reached the end of their useful and economic life. Factors used to determine the end of useful and economic life include, but are not limited to: age, life to date, mileage/hours of operations, historical maintenance cost as compared to like vehicles, operating cost per mile/hour, anticipated and ongoing repairs, and physical condition. Additionally, Fleet will continue to bring forward agenda items for vehicles and equipment from the 2022/23 and 2023/24 Vehicle Replacement Lists as their replacements are deemed road ready. STRATEGIC PRIORITY: 1.2 Maintain public infrastructure, mobility systems, natural lands, environmental resources, and historic features through systematic management efforts.

SUMMARY: Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 11/8/2023 2024 State Legislative Priorities Issues to Support The City of Clearwater supports legislation and programs that benefit municipalities and assists in implementing services to meet the unique needs of our citizens and improve their quality of life including: Local Bill – Streamlining the Downtown Development Board  Downtown Clearwater has entered a transformative era marked with public investments in Coachman Park, a public parking garage at Peace Memorial, an intermodal center, and a new city hall. The local bill will allow City Council to implement changes to ensure the Downtown Development Board and the Downtown strategic vision are aligned with these public investments.

APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: N/A USE OF RESERVE FUNDS: N/A Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 11/8/2023 1 TO: Ella Crandall, Development Review Manager Rebecca Mulder, Code Compliance Manager FROM: Gina L. Clayton, Planning and Development Manager DATE: September 19, 2023 RE: Zoning Interpreta�on - Ar�ficial Turf This zoning interpreta�on is issued to specify and interpret the City of Clearwater Community Development Code (the “CDC”) provisions that provide the basis for the City’s prohibi�on of ar�ficial turf. The CDC provisions that have been reviewed in developing this interpreta�on are from the code's property maintenance, landscaping, and defini�on sec�ons. Article 3, Division 15 Property Maintenance Standards Code Section 3-1502.H.2 – Any portion of a lot not covered by a building or structure or otherwise devoted to parking, a service drive or a walkway shall be landscaped with grass or other appropriate ground cover and shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Code Section 3-1502.H.3 - All landscape materials, including turf, shrubs, and trees, whether required or optional, shall be maintained in a healthy live condition so as to present a neat and attractive appearance and so as to discourage the accumulation of trash or debris and/or infestation by pests. The above CDC sec�ons prescribe the use of live landscaping materials for areas not occupied by buildings, structures, or pavement. CDC Sec�on 3-1502.H.3 specifically provides that “turf” shall be maintained in a healthy living condi�on. Ar�ficial turf is man-made and is not in a living condi�on. Article 3, Division 12 Landscaping/Tree Protection Section 1202.B. Plant material specifications. Except as provided in subsection (8) below, plant materials which are utilized to satisfy the landscaping required by this development code shall comply with the following minimum standards: 1. Minimum plant material standards: PLANT SIZE (at installation) OTHER REQUIREMENTS Shade Tree 10' height 2.5" caliper All materials shall be Florida Grade #1, and be planted a minimum of five feet from any impervious area. Accent Tree 8' height 2" caliper 2 accent trees = 1 shade tree; unless overhead lines are unavoidable; no more 2 than 25% of required trees may be accent trees. All materials shall be Florida Grade #1. Palm Tree 10' clear trunk Can be used to satisfy 75% of tree requirements on Beach, Sand Key & Island Estates, 25% elsewhere in the City. Staggered clusters of 3 palm trees = 1 shade tree, except for specimen palm trees such as: phoenix canariensis (canary island date palm), phoenix dactylifera (edible date palm) and phoenix reclinata (senegal date palm), which count as shade trees on a 1:1 ratio. All materials shall be Florida Grade #1. Ground Cover 1 gallon minimum - planted a maximum of 24" O.C. Encouraged in lieu of turf to reduce irrigation needs. Turf N/A Turf areas should be consolidated and limited to areas of pedestrian traffic, recreation and erosion control, and shall be a drought tolerant species. Turf is included in the above plant material standards with specific standards provided as to what species are permissible. This sec�on confirms that turf used in the City needs to be a live plant. CDC Sec�on 3- 1202.B.2. provides for excep�ons to the general landscaping standards. 2. Exceptions. a. Single-family detached and two-family attached dwellings. The above size requirements with regard to shade trees and accent trees shall not be applied to single-family detached dwellings and two-family attached dwellings. For those uses shade trees shall have minimum height of eight feet and minimum caliper of two inches, and accent trees shall have minimum height of six feet and minimum caliper of one inch. b. Parks and athletic fields. Artificial turf may be used in lieu of plant materials in parks and athletic fields. CDC Section 3-1202.B.2.a carves out landscaping exceptions for single-family and two-family dwellings for trees but does not provide any exceptions for the use of living turf. The only reference to artificial turf within the CDC can be found under CDC Section 3-1202.B.2.b. This section specifically provides an exception to the use of living turf by allowing the use of artificial turf only in parks and athletic fields. If artificial turf was permitted, an exemption to allow it in limited circumstances would not be necessary. Based on these CDC sections, artificial turf is prohibited within the City with the very limited exception of use at parks and athletic fields. Ar�cle 8, Defini�ons and Rules of Construc�on Section 8-102 states Landscaping means grasses, ground covers, vines, shrubs, trees and inanimate durable material such as organic mulches. This definition does not include the term “turf” but that term is specified in Section 3-1202.B.1 to be a plant material under the City’s general landscaping standards. Inanimate durable material does not 3 include artificial turf being that turf in the context of the CDC is a live plant material. Furthermore, as previously indicated, artificial turf is only permitted at parks and athletic fields. It should be noted that in the past, at least two proper�es have been found to have violated the CDC by the City’s municipal code enforcement board for the use of ar�ficial turf. In addi�on, the Clearwater City Council considered amendments to the Community Development Code in 2011 to allow the use of ar�ficial turf and decided not to move forward with any changes. According to City Council minutes, a major goal of the 1999 Community Development Code was citywide beau�fica�on through tree protec�on and expanded landscaping provision. As evidenced in the CDC provisions cited above, the CDC focuses on the use of healthy living plant materials. This goal was further cemented when the City Council approved an exemp�on for the use of ar�ficial turf only for parks and athle�c fields. Based on the above code sec�ons and the intent of the CDC, the use of ar�ficial turf is prohibited in the City with limited excep�ons. .

Introduction Homeowners in Florida are offered many different species and cultivars of natural turfgrass to consider for their lawns, each offering varying levels of shade, maintenance, water, disease, and pest resistance, as well as differences in color, texture, and overall aesthetics. Recent additions to the list of available turfgrasses have benefited from extensive breeding programs to develop cultivars that need fewer inputs (e.g., water and fertilizer), have fewer pest problems, and require less mowing, all traits that contribute to their appropriate use in Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) (Momol et al. 2021). However, in addition to these living turf options, some homeowners replace natural turfgrass with synthetic turf, also referred to as artificial turf. Originally developed as a durable, low-maintenance playground surface, synthetic turf is a manufactured product that utilizes synthetic fibers that mimic the aesthetic look of natural grass. Essentially outdoor carpet, artificial turf is typically composed of nylon, polypropylene, or polyethylene fibers connected to a reinforced backing material. While designed to imitate the look of natural turf, synthetic turf does not provide the ecosystem benefits of a natural turf system. This publication examines the properties of synthetic turf in relation to each of FFL’s nine principles. Florida-Friendly Landscaping™: The Nine Program Principles FFL protects Florida’s natural resources by conserving water, reducing waste and pollution, creating wildlife habitat, and preventing runoff and erosion (Momol et al. 2021). Landscapes in Florida can be Florida-Friendly if designed and maintained according to the nine Florida- Friendly Landscaping™ principles (FYN Handbook 2015). Each of the nine Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles are evaluated below as they relate to living turfgrass and its potential replacement by synthetic turf. 1. Right Plant, Right Place: FFL’s mission is to provide science-based information for creating resilient, sustain- able landscapes of living plants that have been specifically selected and appropriately installed so that they require little or no irrigation, fertilizer, or pesticide. Because synthetic turf is not alive, it does not meet the criteria 2Synthetic Turfgrass and the Nine Principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ of a plant choice for an FFL landscape. As a living plant, natural turfgrass plays an important role in cooling the environment that synthetic turf cannot. Average surface temperatures of a natural turfgrass lawn have been reported to be as much as 70°F cooler than a dormant brown lawn and as much as 100°F cooler than synthetic turf surfaces. Higher surface temperatures increase the surrounding air temperatures and result in an increase in the energy required for mechanical cooling of adjacent homes and buildings. Caludio (2008) describes heat island effects generated by larger installations of synthetic turf. Living turfgrass also provides a root zone, which helps to filter and slow runoff and stop erosion. Syn- thetic turf cannot do this, because part of its installation requires compacting the earth below, increasing runoff beneath the synthetic turf. 2. Water Efficiently: Synthetic turf systems do not require supplemental irrigation; however, installations may require water use for different reasons. As mentioned above, synthetic turf can become excessively hot, with one author (Kruse) measuring surface temperatures on synthetic turf as high as 160°F. Because of these high temperatures, it is common for users to spray the surface with water to cool it for use, which may negate some of the perceived benefit from the system not requiring “ir- rigation.” In addition, many manufacturers recommend weekly wash downs of the artificial turf surface to remove contaminants such as dust and pet waste and its odor. These washings, especially those to remove pet urine, often use quite a bit of water because the waste must pass through the artificial turf, the underlying substrate, and the weed barrier before being carried away. This wash water will generally not infiltrate into the ground below because of soil compaction conducted before installation of the synthetic turf. As noted in The Ultimate Artificial Grass Maintenance Guide (neograss.co.uk): If your lawn has not been installed on a free-draining sub-base, then you may need to purchase one of the many artificial grass cleaning products available on the market that will remove the smell of urine and sanitize your lawn. Living turf, on the other hand, helps cool the environ- ment, absorbs pet urine, and does not require washing to remove odors or dust. Once established, living turf needs minimal water during times of drought. 3. Fertilize Appropriately: Synthetic turf systems do not require fertilization. However, the lack of a root system and its associated microbial community in synthetic turf systems eliminates the water filtration benefit that is gained through the installation of a living turfgrass system. 4. Mulch: In an FFL landscape, mulch is often incorporated within ornamental beds and around shrubs to maintain soil moisture and control weed growth. However, mulch application is not applicable to synthetic turf systems. 5. Attract Wildlife: An FFL landscape will often incorpo- rate elements that attract wildlife, including the instal- lation of host and pollinator plants to attract butterflies and native bees, as well as mixes of shrubs and trees that provide food, cover, and nesting opportunities for birds and other wildlife. This effect is amplified when natural wildlife preserves, and other green areas are adjacent or nearby. Research has shown that turfgrass lawns support an abundance of beneficial arthropods, such as beetles, bees and wasps, as well as worms, which in turn support larger wildlife such as birds and other ground-feeding wildlife (Shimat et al. 2020). Synthetic turf does not offer any benefits that attract or support wildlife. 6. Manage Yard Pests Responsibly: A fundamental component of FFL is using the appropriate combinations of plants (see FFL Principle No. 1: Right Plant, Right Place) maintained through proper irrigation and fertilizer protocols, so that yard pests are controlled with little or even no need for pesticide application. This holistic pest management approach forms the basis of integrated pest management, or IPM. As discussed above, while synthetic turf plays no role in attracting or supporting wildlife, it also does not contribute to the mix and balance of landscaping plants that promote IPM. 7. Recycle Yard Waste: FFL promotes the recycling of yard and landscape clippings into mulch and compost. This not only reduces the amount of yard waste that must be picked up curbside and transported for disposal, but yard waste converted to compost and used as fertilizer decreases the need for a homeowner to buy other fertil- izers, especially synthetic fertilizers. Because synthetic turf is primarily plastic, it does not directly generate yard waste such as leaf litter and clippings, although falling leaves that accumulate on the synthetic turf must still be removed to prevent wear and tear. More importantly, however, synthetic turf has a finite life span, perhaps 10 to 20 years depending on the quality of ongoing care includ- ing rinsing, removing leaves, and sanitizing. At the end of its life, the synthetic turf will need to be removed and replaced, with the ultimate disposal of the old synthetic turf most likely in a landfill. 3Synthetic Turfgrass and the Nine Principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ 8. Reduce Stormwater Runoff: The primary base construc- tion for synthetic turf systems in residential landscapes involves removal of a portion (2"–3") of the topsoil followed by heavy compaction of the remaining soil to establish a firm, uniform base on which to install the synthetic turf product. This compaction reduces soil infiltration rates and increases the risk of runoff from the landscape. While it may be possible to use rain gardens, berms, and swales to retain runoff on the property, there remains a significant risk of increased runoff when compared to natural turfgrass, which has been shown to increase soil infiltration rates. A recent study by Simpson and Francis (2021) demonstrated that synthetic turf lawns had more runoff and decreased water retention compared to living turf lawns. A similar study (Chang et al. 2021) found that living turf provided greater runoff control than synthetic turf. a. In addition to runoff volume, synthetic turf runoff has been shown to contain zinc in concentrations that pose a potential risk to surface waters and aquatic organisms (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection 2010). Another synthetic turf study in New York found that runoff water from rain or from spraying or misting contained some 25 different chemical species and four metals (zinc, selenium, lead, and cadmium) that were released into water from the rubber infill incorporated into the synthetic turf (Claudio 2008). b. In contrast to synthetic turf, a healthy, established natural turf system consists not only of the dense cover of the aboveground grass blades, but also an underlying deep, intricately intertwined root zone that can filter and absorb contaminants. Natural turf installations improve soil structure over time and as a result enhance water filtration and infiltration into the soil. A robust root zone with healthy soil will also absorb dissolved nutrients, decrease nutrient leaching into the underlying ground water, and sequester carbon. Because, by definition, synthetic turf systems do not consist of plant material, they have no capacity to provide these same ecosystem services as a living turf. 9. Protect the Waterfront: Synthetic turf systems lack the soil-stabilizing benefits offered by the rootzones of flood- tolerant plants that are typically found along the edges of water bodies. The presence of these plants protects the shoreline from erosion and has been documented as having a significant impact in reducing the concentration and amount of contaminates that enter bodies of water through stormwater runoff. Installation of a synthetic turf system along the edge of a water body increases the risk of soil erosion due to the lack of an established soil-stabilizing rootzone. In addition, the increased risk of runoff due to compaction of the soils during installation will increase the risk of pollutants reaching the water body that may have otherwise been caught/filtered out by the natural turfgrass system. Conclusions Protecting and preserving Florida’s water resources through sustainable landscaping practices on living landscapes is the primary focus of the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™Program. It strives to achieve this goal through implementation of nine principles designed to reduce the environmental impact of urban landscapes while creating wildlife habitat, preventing erosion, and reducing landscape-based contributions to landfills. When considering the use of a synthetic turf system in the urban landscape, it is important to understand all the potential en- vironmental impacts. Synthetic turf systems have not been shown to improve or create wildlife habitat, do not improve groundwater recharge, can heat excessively in the sun and, in more extensive installations, can cause a substantial heat island effect. In addition, synthetic turf generates higher stormwater runoff than natural turf and has been shown to leach a variety of contaminants, including both organic compounds and heavy metals. Finally, since synthetic turf is primarily plastic it has a finite lifespan and must eventually be disposed of in a landfill, a practice that is counter to the sustainability goals of the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program.
