For many years, the City of
Clearwater has aspued to
revitalize Downtown
Clearwater and Its Immediate
enVlfons In 1995, the
Commulllty Redevelopment
Agency prepared a Downtown
Redevelopment Plan for an
expansive area which
extended from Clearwater Bay
eastward to Fredenca Avenue
our downtown
In other words, the City of Clearwater desires to revitalize and
redevelop Downtown Clearwater as a desirable and attractIve place
for people to It ve, work, shop, recreate and be entertamed The Plan
Identified a senes of strategic actIOns Includmg mfrastructure
Improvements, changes to the CIty'S land development
regulatIOns, a commercial management program and 16 mdlvldual
projects mcludmg a Harbor Bluffproject (restructure and expand
Coachman Park, develop a waterfront manna, remove parkmg
from waterfront, relocate library and expand Harborvlew Center),
two pnvate development mltIatIves (Osceola Hotel and the so-
called super block), a City square project, town lake projects and a
senes of eastern gateway projects
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown IS a prelimmary desIgn for
the implementatIOn of the CIty'S Downtown Development Plan
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown IS grounded m the beltef
that the first step m revitalIzatIOn IS to create a sense of reVIval and
direction The eXlstmg momentum In the Downtown IS a deterrent
for new public mvestment, although the strategIc locatIOn of the
Downtown contmues to attract mvestment mterest, but not actIOn
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown focuses on pubhc actIOns
necessary to repositIOn the Downtown and to create a pOSItive
Investment clImate Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown does

Although the City of Clearwater has previously designated a relatively large area as
a commuruty redevelopment area, Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown focuses
on a core downto'ND area which IS located to the west of Myrtle between Drew and
Court The area to the east of Myrtle, between Cleveland and Court Street, IS In due
need of revitalizatIOn, but IS more suburban than urban m character and IS more
accurately descnbed as an in-town or near-downtown neighborhood The area to
the west of Myrtle, however, has a true urban character and represents the CIty'S
pnmary Opportunity for "urban" redevelopment. Downtown Clearwater Our

Form and Function Plan
tor Public Streets and Wa!:Js
Hlstoncally, Cleveland Street was the City'S "mam street" even though It was
functlOnally a dead-end street. In the 1920s, the Street was extended by causeway to
Clearwater Beach. As late as the 1950s, Cleveland Street was still the retaIl center of
the City as well as the "road to the beach"
In the 60s, 70s and 80s, the center of retail gravIty shifted to rapidly growmg suburban areas - subdIvIsIons
and strip shoppmg centers As a result, the retatl function of Downtown Clearwater declIned At the same
time, Increased demand for traffic capacity to and from the Beach lead to the creatIon of a "beach by pass"
(Court and Chestnut one way paIrs) Nevertheless, the character of Cleveland Street as a place has contmued
to be subordmated to the capacity of Cleveland Street as a hIgh volume traffic way
Cleveland Street In downtown Clearwater IS now on the threshold of"gomg back to the future" When the
new, fixed span bndge IS constructed, Cleveland Street Will once agaIn tenmnates on or near the Clearwater
Bluff In addItIOn, Drew Street Will be temunated at Osceola and vehicles travelmg east west on Drew Will be
Intercepted at Myrtle and gUIded southward to the CourtiChestnut paIr As a result, traffic to and from
Clearwater Beach will have no chOIce but to by-pass "downtown" Clearwater The plan for the new bndge
does mclude a formal entranceway to the downtown from the new bndge along the ahgnment of Pierce
Street These changes WIll make downtown Clearwater a literal as well as figurative dead-end In response,
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that the City act to transform downtown mto a
destmatlOn III contrast to a way pomt on the way to the Beach

Downtown Clean-vater Our Downtown contemplates that If
Cleveland Street IS to be a successful "mam street" m the future, the
street itself and land uses along the street will have to become
"destmatlon uses" mstead of passive land uses dependent on
passerby traffic. To thiS end, It is Important that Cleveland Street be
renovated mto a "great" place - a place where residents and tOurISts
alIke want to be In additIon, It IS essential that Cleveland Street be
phYSically and psychologically lInked to the Court/Chestnut palf
wIth sIgnage, landscapmg and other lll1provements
In order to establish a phYSIcal and psychological lInk between Cleveland
Street and the Court/Chestnut palf, Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown
recommends that the character of Myrtle Street be Improved as a distmctlve
boulevard between Chestnut and Drew Downtown Clearwater Our
Downtown also reconunends that, if at all possIble, ft Hamson should be
reconfigured as a two lane local, downtown road with generous sIdewalks
between Court and Drew In order to transform Ft. Hamson mto a north.south
local street, it IS necessary that the Alternate 19 deslgnahon be shifted to Myrtle
which m turn reqUires that the connechon between Fort Harnson and Myrtle to
the south of the downtown be constructed The functIonal hIerarchy of the

people downtown on an occasIOnal baSIS Unfortunately the frequency of those
events IS such that they provide preCIOUS little support for restaurant, entertamment

downtown Clearwater a "regular" optIon for the commumty at large A slgmficant
factor m the renaIssance In downtown West Palm Beach was a weekly street party
that eventually attracted many thousands of persons to ClematIS Street every week
Clearwater could easIly Implement a comparable event each week m downtown
Clearwater, Ideally as a "Night on Mam Street" WIth street vendors and mUSIC
Unfortunately, the state road status of Cleveland Street makes It practIcally
ImpossIble to hold such an event on Cleveland Street pnor to the completIOn of the
new bndge Worse stIll there are few alternatIves Such an event could be staged on
Drew Street along the Bayfront, however, that would do lIttle for the downtown
restaurant, entertamment and speCIalty retail establtshments m the downtown In
the near term, StatIOn Square Park, whIch IS currently used for monthly CRA

Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that the CIty pursue a
public/pnvate partnershIp for the redevelopment of the parkmg lot to the east of
Station Square Park as soon as possible The recommendatIOn IS grounded m several
factors First, the land IS already owned by the City and ItS current use as a surface
parkmg lot IS an underutllizatlOn of the land As an owner, the City has the abilIty to
make the land aVaIlable on very favorable lease terms as an mcentlve to attract a
developer/redeveloper to mvest In Downtown Clearwater Second, the parkmg lot
fronts on Cleveland mterruptmg the defimtIOn of the street as a place ThIrd, the
mclusiOn of a parkmg structure allows the City to use revenue bonds to finance
commumty redevelopment Fourth, addItIOnal parkmg spaces will enhance the
ViabilIty of east Cleveland Street as a speCialty retail area Fmally, the City needs to
take some dramatIC actiOn to send a message to eXIstmg and future property owners
and tenants that the City IS senous aboullmplementmg Downtown Clearwater Our
Downtown
Ideally, the redevelopment would Involve a publIc parkmg garage With retaIl frontage along Cleveland
Street and StatIOn Square Park and urban resldentml umts on upper floors of a butldmg "'Wrap" around the
parkmg garage The City should take great care to ensure that the uses which WIll be established m the retail
elements of the project are compatible and synergIstIc WIth the eXIstmg uses m the unmedIate VIClIllty
Specml conSideratIon should be gIven to playmg off the uruque character of the Saltwater Fly F,sherman by
promotmg other recreatIOn, outfitter type retailers m the Downtown Although Downtown Clearwater Our
Downtown recommends that the City go forward With the StatIOn Square prOject and anticipates that such a
project is economically feaSible, there are slgmficant market obstacles to overcome The most Important of
those obstacles IS the absence of a CrItIcal mass of reSIdentIal and commercial actIVity As a result,
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown foresees that the City and the CRA will have to SUbSidIze the
project by contnbutmg the eXIstmg parking lot to the undertakmg and provldmg financmg for reqUired
pubhc Improvements and the parkmg garage

CataI~tic prcject
The CIty'S deCISIon to construct a new Memonal Causeway Bndge and make the
downtown's mam street a "dead-end" only compounds the negatIve market forces
that suppress the downtown's potential Expenence from around the country makes
It clear that the pragmatic mcremental approach to downtown redevelopment IS
rarely able to overcome the ever shlftmg economic forces that control publIc and
pnvate Investment In contrast, one or more "catalytic projects" - projects which re-
posItion the downtown and reverse the trajectory of declme - are at the core of most
successful redevelopment InItiatives
Successful catalytIc projects come m all shapes and fOnDS ~ publIc, pnvate and
pubhc and pnvate, nevertheless they have certam common elements Most
Importantly, they involve a cntIcal mass of publIc andJor pnvate investment that
makes a vIsIble change In condItions and represents an Investment that creates at
least a perceptIon of permanence Equally Important, they are dlstmctlve as opposed
to a copy of a project that worked somewhere else The regrettable expenence WIth
festival marketplaces makes It clear that what works m Boston may not work In
LeXIngton, Kentucky, Jacksonvllle, Flonda or Norfolk, Vlrgmla In most cases,
catalytIc projects Involve transformations which are remarkable, almost too good to
be true ~ the worst to the best - and are ImpossIble not to notIce an obsolete harbor
converted mto a waterfront entertaInment complex, a failed mall replaced with a
mixed use urban village or a drainage dl tch turned mto a VI brant waterfront

As downtown Clearwater's economic fortunes have slowly but steadily declined
dunng the last twenty years, the need for a catalytic project has been well-
recogmzed Indeed, the Clearwater "Bluff' has been IdentIfied over and over agam
as the potentIal SIte for a redevelopment project which would be the salvatIOn of the
downtown, and for good reason Clearwater Bluff IS the most remarkable "urban"
landscape m the State ofFlonda and exceptIOnal by any standard
Unfortunately, the Bluff IS also the most abused urban landscape III the State In
1999, the City CommissIOn Issued a request for developers qualIficatIOns for a
catalytIC downtown redevelopment project for an area whIch extended from Fort
Hamson to the Bayfront The CIty selected a Jomt venture of highly-regarded
developers who proposed a major catalytIc project which mcluded more than 1,000
resIdentIal uruts, the conversion of the HarboIVlew Center mto a downtown
multiplex cmema, the redevelopment of the Calvary BaptIst Church as a downtown
hotel and the redevelopment of the Bayfront mto a world class urban park The
CItIzens of the City, however, rejected the project at a referendum which was
reqUired because the developer's developmentproposalmcluded the long term lease
ofpubhc lands
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown accepts the deCISIon of the referendum and
assumes that the only Viable alternative to the pubhc/pnvate catalytIc project which
was rejected IS a catalytIc undertakmg by the CIty Itself Downtown Clearwater Our
Downtown recommends that the CIty comnut to the transformatIOn ofthe land to the
west of Osceola into a great, public urban waterfront The City has already
commItted to the constructIOn of a new lIbrary m the southwest comer of the
mtersectIon of Drew and Osceola It IS Vital that the new lIbrary be a part of a
dynanllc urban waterfront or much of the CIty'S mvestment m the new hbrary wIll be
lost In additIOn to the new library, Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown
recommends that all of the surface parkmg to the west of Osceola be relocated to
parkmg garages at the top of the Bluff on the eXlstmg City Hall Site or be relocated to
a new parking garage m the block surrounded by Cleveland, Fort Hamson, Drew
and Osceola

DESIGN STANDARDS
A key element of the plan IS to create good - If not great - streets In the Downtown
WhIle the architecture of mdIvldual bUIldmgs contrIbutes to urban form and
functIon, the character of an urban place IS pnmanly defined by the form and
functIOn of publIc places - which m Clearwater (as It IS In most downtowns), are
publIc streets, Sidewalks and parks
The most Important cntenon for a great street IS that the "street" must be a place that
IS hospItable to people, a place where people feel safe from the elements and Cflme
WhIle the travel lanes of the street may be gIven over to automobIles, the overall
character of the street must be as a place where pedestrIans feel comfortable In
subtropIcal climates shelter from sun and ram are an essentIal of a great street
Great streets are also "addresses" that prOVide character and context as an urban
amemty to adjacent pnvate buildmgs In most cases, the address quality of a street IS
defined by ItS character - pnmanly street and landscapmg However, It I S not enough
that a street be attractIve, It IS also necessary that It be functIOnal m terms of
acceSSIbility and utIlity.
The essence of an urban place IS a sense of concentrated and dIverse aCtIVIty, and
streets and Sidewalks are the pnmary venue of urban mteraction Sidewalks should
be Wide enough to allow people to stop and talk or to SIt at a cafe table Without
Interfenng WIth other pedestrians Traffic on streets should be phYSIcally and
psychologically separated from pedestrIan zones, or should be deSIgned and used In
a way so that vehIcles naturally YIeld to the pedestnan In other words, good urban
streets are places where there IS an effective balance between the transportation
functIon and the "place" functIOn of the street
Great streets have a quahty of memorabilIty -
a distInctive character which persIsts over tIme
Street Dehnltion
One element that all great streets share IS a sense of defimtIOn In other words, the
boundarIes of the street are well-estabhshed by bUIldmgs or trees, and those
bUIldmgs or trees relate to the street m a manner that generates a sense of scale From
the perspectIve of a pedestnan, a well-defmed street helps to produce a sense of
secunty and place
FIve pnmary elements contribute to the phYSical defInItIon of the street (1) WIde,
well-deSIgned SIdewalks; (2) bUIldings set close to the street, (3) proper landscapIng
and street trees, (4) public spaces deSIgned WIth specIal consideratIon for the urban
environment, and (5) endpOInts that proVIde focus to the street
Sidewalks
Properly designed sidewalks create an edge along the street through such features as
distmcttve pavers, street furnIture, and landscapmg such as street trees Generally,
sidewalks should occupy all of the honzontal space between the street and adjacent
bUIldmgs In a downtown envIronment, sidewalks should be at least fifteen feet
(15') wIde to accommodate two-way and slde-by-slde pedestnan traffic, street
furruture, and urban landscapmg
The Importance of good sidewalks goes beyond defimng the street Sidewalks are
the area where the publIc realm meets the pnvate, and where automobile-scale
tranSIttons to human-scale Sidewalks should be deSigned such that pedestrians feel
safe from vehIcular traffic, cnme, and the elements, and should proVIde
aesthettcally pleasmg detaIls

White concrete sidewalks lack character and detail and do not serve the goal of
creating a pedestnan-fnendly, aesthetIcally pleasmg envIronment Therefore,
Sidewalks should be constructed wIth pavers ormultl-colored distressed or patterned
concrete m areas wherever pOSSI ble, especIally where bUIldings are closely spaced
Build-to Lines
A well-defined street IS charactenzed by closely spaced bUlldmgs that are set
adjacent to the SIdewalk and scaled proportionately to the Width of the street
Accordmgly, If the eXlstmg nght-of-way can accommodate a fifteen foot (15') Wide
SIdewalk area, no front setback IS reqUIred However, If there IS msufficIent pubhc
space for such a SIdewalk, bUIldmgs should be set back to the extent necessary to
prOVide the Sidewalk
Wide gaps between bUlldmgs compromise the street's defimtlOn and act as
psychologIcal barners to pedestnan traffic As such, no SIde setbacks are
recommended, and bUIldIngs should be as closely spaced as local fire codes permit
Landscaping & Street Trees
Landscapmg and street trees contnbute to defimtlon In several ways Fust, where a
structure IS set back further than those that surround It, landscapIng and street trees
can be used to proVide a sense of Visual contmUIty along the street between the
bUIldmgs Second, the use of different landscapmg themes III dIfferent areas helps to
create a distIllct sense of place and to defme the edges of each area ThIrd,
landscapmg can be used to proVIde a "soft edge" along the street, buffenng the
vehicular lanes from the pedestnan areas, whIle allowing dnvers to see through to
the bUIldmgs

Along mam streets wIthm the downtown - Cleveland Street, Myrtle Avenue, East
Avenue, Fort Hamson Avenue, and Court and Chestnut Streets - columnar palm
trees with "clear grey" of not less than eIght feet (8') should be planted m the
sIdewalks, at a spacing of thirty-five feet (35') on centers Appropnate palm trees
Include sabal palms (sabal palmetto), washmgton palms (washmgtoma robusta),
medJool palms (phoenix dactylifera 'me4Jool '), and canary island date palms
(phoemx canarzensls) These readIly avaIlable trees prOVide a sense of boundary
and place whIle preservIng VIsual transparency along the street
Tropical flowenng trees, such as the crepe myrtle, are also a partIcularly desirable
addItIOn to the urban landscape Not only do they contribute landmark SIgnals ofthe
season, they provIde much needed shade dunng summer months These trees
should be planted In the SIdewalks along SIde streets at a dIstance of no more than
thIrty-five feet (35') feet on center Flowenng trees should be planted m such a way
that leaf and flower clutter does not reqUITe daily clean-up For SIdewalk
applIcatIons, trees should be selected that remaIn attractive when pnmed to heights
below twenty - fi ve feet (25 ')
Open Spaces
Downtown open spaces should reflect the urban character of the area Plazas and
hardscaped areas should be deSigned to tIe Into the Sidewalk system, and should not
create large gaps between bUIldIngs that are vIsIble from the street Such gaps
generally compromise the definItion of the street and act as a psychological barner
to pedestrIan traffic

Street defimtIOn IS not merely a functIOn of what IS along the sides ofthe road It IS
also Important - especially for a retail street I - to create boundanes on the road Itself
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that upon completIOn of the
new causeway to Clearwater Beach, Cleveland Street be termmated III a pedestnan-
onented plaza at Osceola Avenue
At the other end of the Cleveland Street retail comdor, the IntersectIOn of Cleveland
Street and Myrtle Avenue, Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends
that the CIty transform the Intersection mto a landmark that creates a sense of place
and defines the entry mto the retaIl corndor The intersectIon should be redeSIgned

Another element that all great streets share IS a sense of character Character
Involves the human-scale aspects of street design, Includmg archItecture, matenals,
colors, bUIldmg facades and entryways, street furniture, hghtmg, and signage Each
of these elements makes an Important contnbution to the overall sense of place
Architecture
No partIcular archItectural style IS recommended for Downtown Clearwater StIll,
bUIldmg deSign is an Important consideratIOn, and should be employed m such a way
as to enhance the commumty character Thus, "danng" and "cuttIng-edge" bUIldIng
deSIgns should generally be aVOIded m favor of more traditional archItectural styles
New and eXIstIng bUIldmgs should complement each other In terms of scale and
mass, add Interest to the streetscape, and promote a pedestnan-fuendly enVIronment
Materials & Color
Butldlllg rehabilitatIOns and
modIfications should be performed In
such a way as to restore or enhance the
structure's histOrIC character
Matenals should be chosen to match or
complement eXIstIng buIldlllg
elements New constructIOn should

Street-level Facades & Entryways
Though no particular architectural style is recommended, the traditIOnal storefront
deSigns along Cleveland Street should be mamtaIlled and enhanced at the street-
level These storefront deSigns are charactenzed by defined entryways (typically
recessed), large display wmdows, and awnmgs
Transparent bUIldmg facades2 are essentIal to a pedestnan-fnendly environment
Transparency creates a sense of security and adds mterestmg detaIl to the
streetscape Throughout the downtown (mcludmg Cleveland Street), at least SIXty
percent (60%) of each street-level facade should be transparent, mearung that
wmdows or doors allow pedestnans to see mto
the bUIldIllg, or
landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas (where street level facades are
set off from the SIdewalk at least fifteen feet (15') by a landscaped or
hardscaped courtyard or plaza)
SIgns, wIlldow covenngs, and other opaque matenals may
cover no more than 10% of the area of any street-level
WIndow m a nonreSidentIal bUIldmg that fronts on a publIc
nght-of-way At street level, opaque, mlITored, reflective,
and darkly tmted glass should be prohibited These
matenals create a hostIle pedestrian envlfonment not only
because they are opaque, but also because they reflect heat
and glare onto the Sidewalk
BUIldmg entryways should be clearly marked and
aesthetIcally mVitmg Recessed entryways should be
No more than 10% of any street-level encouraged, as they help both to define the entryway and
nonresldentlGl wmdow should be opaque
to create addItIOnal surface area for dIsplay wmdows To
add to the defimtIon and detaIl, vanatlOns m Sidewalk
paver patterns are encouraged at bUIldIllg entries Awnmgs should also be used to
mark entryways
Street Furniture
Street furrnture, mcludmg benches (or
clusters of chairs) and trash receptacles,
should be lIberally prOVided m the
downtown, espeCIally along Cleveland
Street, at mtervals no greater than thIrty
lInear feet (30') of Sidewalk Street
furrnture should be constructed of low-

SImple and aesthetically appealing, and should be pamted

furnIture and bicycle racks should not mterrupt pedestnan
traffic on the Sidewalk Areas where street furmture and
bIcycle racks are located may be marked by changes III the

employed to meet vanous lIghtmg needs. Clearwater's hIstonc
lIghtIng, stIll present m some areas, is a plam SIngle-globe

To enhance the character of the streets, all eXIstmg street lights
should be replaced With conSIstent, functIOnal, and attractlve

manner that does not obscure archItectural details
Awnmgs may also be used as SIgns When used for thiS
purpose, letters should be sewn or screened onto the valance of
an awnIng m a profeSSIonal manner as part of the overall
awnIng deSIgn At the Sidewalk level, blade SIgns, banners
and sandWich boards should not be dIscouraged However,
SIgns placed on the sidewalk should not obstruct pedestnan

Climate- Responsiveness
In Flonda's subtropIcal clImate, eIther

days of thundershowers per year,
mostly m the late afternoons from June
through September In August, the
average day is 82 degrees and hUImd
Wllld directIon In Clearwater IS fairly
evenly distnbuted, and average wmd
speeds from every directIOn hover
around 10m p h
To encourage year-round pedestnan
traffic, outdoor areas must be deSigned
to protect pedestnans from the
elements Street trees, awrungs, and
recessed bUIldIng entnes should be An arcade over the SIdewalk adds architectural
coordInated to proVIde shelter at close style andprotects pedestrlOnsfrom the elements
Intervals At least sixty percent (60%)
of street furniture should be located m
shaded areas (mcludmg areas under
deCiduous trees) Sidewalks, street furmture, and planters should employ matenals
and colors that IDImmIze heat absorption
TRADITIONAL LAND USE STANDARDS
TradltlOnalland use controls, such as limIts on denSIty, height, scale, mass, setbacks,
step backs, lot coverage, and parkmg play a more lImIted role wIthm the

Downtown redevelopment goals whIch have been In place for more than 20 years
As such, it represents a senes of specIfic, practical Items wInch the CIty can do to
realize Its goal to remake downtown Clearwater mto an attractive, desIrable focal
point for the CIty as a whole
ReahzatIon of the CIty'S redevelopment objectIves wIll not be Without dIfficult

and the recent redevelopment proJect referendum - the "free lunch" optIon for
downtown redevelopment Put simply, eXlstmg condItIOns m downtown Clearwater
are suffiCIently mert to overcome the relative strong demographIcs of the regIOnal
market If the City wishes to realIze Its redevelopment obJectIves, Downtown
Clearwater Our Downtown concludes that the CIty must take the lead in reversmg
the traJectory of the downtown In other words, the CIty must mvest, as soon as
practIcable, the money necessary to. 1) transform Cleveland Street to the west of
Myrtle mto an attractIve and deSIrable place, 2) save the bay front from itS current
condItion and redevelop the bay front and bluff as a great waterfront urban park, and
3) stImulate pnvate remvestment by "castmg the first stone" - a

There are currently 680 spaces located on the bluff and bay front, not mcludmg the
60 spaces whIch are located adjacent to PIerce Street on the south, spaces whIch are
rarely if ever used These spaces serve HarbofVlew Center and the mam CIty lIbrary
In order to meet the off~street parkrng needs of the HarborvIew Center and the new
mam CIty lIbrary, the spaces must be relocated to the east of Osceola m the block
surrounded by Cleveland, Osceola, Drew and Ft Hamson. The difficulty IS that the
land m that block IS currently Improved and IS extremely expensIve The cost of
acquiSItIon, demolItIOn and constructIon very lIkely exceeds the amount that could
be supported by parkmg revenue bonds gIven proJected useage of the Harborvlew
Center and the new lIbrary Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown estImates that
each parking space would have to earn m excess of$6 25 per day III order to serve the
debt that would be reqUIred to construct a 940 space garage (680 spaces to replace the
parking on the bluff and bay front and 280 to replace the surface spaces dIsplaced by
the new parkmg garage), assurmng that 1) the land whIch IS currently used as
surface parkmg could be acqUIred for $30 per square foot, 2) the cost of demohtlOn
and SIte preparation is $5 per square foot, 3) the constructIOn cost per space is
our downtown -

$11,500, 4) weekday occupancy rates of at least 65%, 5) annual operatIOn,
maIntenance and capital replacement costs of$5 00 per space, and 6) 140% coverage
for 25 year, 6 5 % tax free revenue bonds
The optImal method of relocatIng the surface parkmg on the bay front and bluff
would be for the CIty to enter Into a JOInt publIc pnvate partnership for the
redevelopment of the so-called "super block" The concept IS relatIvely
straightforward - the CIty and a developer would acqUIre all or most of the super
block The developer would construct a large parkmg garage "wrapped" With retail
and reSIdentIal uses The garage would mclude 700 parkmg spaces for the CIty plus
the number of spaces the pnvate component of the project would reqUIre In thiS way
the cost of acqUISItIon and demolItIOn would be shared by publIc parkmg, pnvate
development and pnvate parkmg, thereby reducmg the publIc cost to a level which IS
supportable by anticipated parkmg revenues Equally Important, the Joint publIc
pnvate partnershIp would mtroduce addItIonal retaIl and reSIdentIal actIvity into the
downtown
Osceola Place and Bay Front Park
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown proposes the creation of a waterfront park
(descnbed m Chapter 4) which would serve as a local, CityWide and regIonal
attractIon The water front park mcludes a proposal to create "Osceola Place" along
Osceola Street between Harborvlew and the new lIbrary Osceola Place would be a
hardscape plaza With street furnIture, urban landscapIng and a signature fountam To
the west of Osceola Place would be the bay front park With a bay front promenade,
the greens or commons, a botanIcal garden and a fully ngged amphItheater WIth no
fixed seatmg. Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown estImates the cost of the
Improvements for Osceola Place and the bay front park at $6.8 to $77 mIllIon,
dependmg on the qualIty of the paver matenal It IS not contemplated that the park
WIll generate any mearungful revenue and therefore must be funded by some
external source of funds There are several grants-in-aId programs at the state and
natlOnallevel; however, it is doubtful that any sigruficant amount can be generated
through those programs Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that
the City propose an ad valorem property tax bond
Issue to fund the bay front park Assuming a $ 5
bIllIon tax base, the mIllage reqUIred to support 25
year bonds would be 129 mils assummg a 6 5%
tax free rate That translates into a tax burden of
$1 07 per month or 3 Y2 cents per day for the
owner of a house WIth an assessed valuatIon of
$100,000 after homestead exemption No one
likes an Increase In taxes, nevertheless It IS
IncomprehensIble that the CItIzens of the CIty of
Clearwater would not support such a modest levy
to transform the bluff and bay front from a land
stewardship embarrassment to a great waterfront
place

DOWNTOWN
Clearwater
Enhanced Outdoor Performance Venue
The key to the success of any place like a downtown IS the
extent to whICh some aspect of the place IS a greater-than-
local destmatlOn For example, an enclosed mall depends
on Its "anchors," usually department stores, to attract
patrons who VISIt mlIlle stores whIle they are m the mall
In recent years, entertamment-based destmatIons have
been used as anchors to revItahze many downtowns
Mizner Park m Boca Raton and City Place m West Palm
Beach both rely on cmema anchors to generate traffic to a
location whIch has been abandoned by the market. For
downtown Clearwater, the prospects for a pnvate
entertamment anchor are slim m the aftermath of the
recent defeat of the downtown redevelopment proJect
referendum In Its place, Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown places mcreased emphasIS on the
replacement of the eXIstmg bandshell with a full Size, amphitheater productIOn stage SUI table for regular use
for presentatIon of road productIons Currently, there IS no market-dommate outdoor performance faCIlIty III
the Tampa Bay regIOn and downtown Clearwater has a umque opporturuty to capture that pOSItIon m the
regIOnal market place whIle at the same tIme transformmg Its bluff and bay front from a place of asphalt mto
a memorable and deSIrable waterfront park Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that the
new amphItheater stage be located ill the far northwest comer of the bluff and bay front ThIS locatIOn
mmmllzes the Impact of the amphItheater bUlldmg on the over water VIStas from the top of the bluff, takes
advantage of the natural contours of the land and takes advantage of the Drew Street nght of way for access
The cost of a qUalIty amphItheater WIth necessary productIon facilIties IS estImated at $3 5 mIllIon A key to
the success of the amphItheater as an "anchor" IS directly related to the frequency of performances and the
more equipped the amphItheater, the more easily the amphItheater Will be host to a Wide range of
performances The cost of the amphitheater IS problematIc WhIle the amphitheater can serve as a
conunercIal productIOn stage, the lIkely revenues from such operatIons IS unlIkely to cover operatIOn and
mamtenance and debt servICe Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that the CIty of
Clearwater finance the amphitheater With a grant from Pmellas COWlty or With general revenue bond
proceeds The subject of a regionally slgruficant outdoor performance facilIty has been discussed by the CIty
and County off and on for several years and the County's proVISIon of fundmg would serve multIple
purposes - promoting the reVItalIzatIon of the downtown and provIdmg the CItIzens of Pmellas County and
the reglOn With a superb outdoor performance facIlIty. If County asSIstance IS not avaIlable, the CIty could
finance the amphItheater with general oblIgatIOn debt Assummg that the CIty pursues a general oblIgatIon
bond Issue for the bay front park, the mclusIOn of the amphitheater would mcrease the reqUITed mIllage rate
by 6 hundredths of a mIl, or an additIOnal 50 cents a month or 1 Y2 cents per day for the owner of a home WIth
an assessed value of$] 00,000 after homestead exemption
Harborview Center
The problems With HarborvIew Center are a lot like the love rose - "let me count the ways" FunctIOnally,
Harborview IS not an effectIve anchor because most VISttorS travel to and from the Center by car - they go to
the Center by car and get In their car to leave, by pas&ing merchants in the downtown AesthetIcally,
HarborvIew Center IS a dIsaster Seen across the bay from the Beach or from the Memonal Causeway,

Harborvlew (except when It IS favorably lIghted at
rught) IS sImply unattractive - banal and un-
contextual From Cleveland Street, the
Harborview bUIldmg IS a cheerless barner that
Isolates and strangles any sense of human place or
mteractlon The Osceola frontage IS lifeless and
forebodmg Put plamly, the HarborvIew bUIldmg
breaks every rule for creatmg communIty of place
and It IS essentIal that the bUIldmg be renovated or
replaced At a mmImum, the retaIl use of the
bUIldmg must be connected - visually and
phYSIcally - to Cleveland Street In other words, the
retaIl facade of the buildIng must be renovated to create a dIrect connectIon between
retaIl actIvity and Cleveland and Osceola Streets At the other end, HarborvIew
should be reformed to take advantage of the spectacular over water vIews to the
west Upper floor space on the west SIde of the bUIldmg should be renovated WIth
WIndows so that the vIews are an ameruty to meeting space, restaurants and other use
of communIty value and benefit On the ground level, HarborvIew should be
converted Into a bay front park servmg facIlIty WIth food and eqUIpment servIces
which support park users.
Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown doubts the long term utIlity of the eXIstmg
Harborvlew bUildIng and recommends that the City carefully evaluate the
alternatIve of replacmg the faCIlity WIth a new bUIldmg which IS more carefully
tailored to the CIty'S specIfic programmmg needs. Downtown Clearwater Our
Downtown antICIpates that a conventIonal demand analYSIS Will show that the CIty'S
actual CiVIC meetIng space needs could be served by a budding WhiCh IS a fractIon of
the SIze of HarboTVIew Downtown Clearwater Our Downtown recogmzes the
CIty's hmIted financIal resources and accepts that the publIc IS unlikely to support
substantIal addItIonal investment m the eXIstmg bUIldmg In thIS vem, Downtown
Clearwater Our Downtown recommends that the City thInk seriously about Simply
demolIshmg the eXlstmg bUlldmg and replacmg It WIth a 25,000 square foot of
community meetmg space With concessIOn space to proVIde food and eqUIpment
servIce to users of the bay front park

The mtent of the drafters of this new defirutIOn, the Flonda AssocIatIon of CountIes, was
to make the cntena more objectIve and more dtfficult to meet. y
There was a similar mtent for changes made to the defInItIOn of"bhghted area."
That definItIOn has been changed to read as follows
(8) "BlIghted area" means an area m wluch there are a substantIal number of
slum, detenorated, or detenoratmg structures and m whIch condItIons as eVIdenced by
govemment-mamtamed ~~tICS, are leadmg to econormc distress or endanger life or

(a) Predommance of defectIve or inadequate street layout, parkIng facIlItIes,
roadways, bndges, or public transportatIon facilitIes; -
(b) Aggregate assessed values of real property m the area for ad valorem tax
purposes have failed to show any apprecIable increase over the 5 vears pnor to the

However, the term "blIghted area" also means any area In whIch at least one of
the factors IdentIfied In paragraphs (a) through (n) are present arid all taxmg authontIes
subJect to s 163 387(2)(a) agree, eIther by mterlocal agreement or agreements with the
agency or by resolution, that the area IS blighted. Such agreement or resolutIOn shall only
determme that the area IS blIghted. For purposes qualIfymg for the tax credIts authonzed
In chapter 220, "blIghted area" means an area as defined In tlns subsectIon
The two si20ificant cban2es in the definition are (i) at least two of the factors
listed In (a) through (n) must be found to eXIst In the area, unless all taxmg authorities
agree only one factor IS present artd the area IS blighted, and (11) the addItIon of (n) that
"governmentally owned property WIth adverse envIronmental condItions" IS a factor of
(.;(4....1"
blIght. As WIth the defimtIon of blIght, the drafters of the changes to the defirntIon of {" \. 1-
() r
blIght wanted to "tIghten" up the defimtlOns and make It more difficult or make the _/ / 1
findmg Furthermore, they wanted to make it more obJectIve, thus the references to use r' f
- I
of statistics and com ansons to the remaInder of the COUll or mumCI ahty. Very few
save een created on the basIS of only one factor so It IS unlIkely these changes
WIll have an adverse effect on the creation of CRAs In the future These changes to no
~plv tO~Y.-exJ.stmg eRA, except that the new defimtIons apply to any expanSIOn of th_e
eRA, but only to the expanded area.
The "adverse envIronmental conditIons" addItIon may have the most effect 1D the
future ThIs amendment, whIch was conceIved ofb MiamI CRA ChaIr Art Teele, closes
e op between the Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Chapter 288, Flonda Statute~
and the Commumty Redevelopment Act. ThIs factor WIll allow CItIeS to mclude vacant,
contammated property In redevelo ment areas and use tax lDcrement financmg and oilier
nancIal resources to clean up the property and make t em VIa e or pnvate or pu IC
reaevelopment. _ -- ---
Term of CRAs Under current law a eRA must set a hme certaIn for
completmg redevelopment financed by mcrement revenues, but may not exceed 30 years.
However, for any amendment to the CRA's redevelopment plan It can get an extension
for up to another 30 years. ThIS IS subject to a maxImum of 60 years for whIch Increment
revenues are paId to the CRA by each taxIng authonty Several countIes complamed that
thIs allowed for perpetual CRAs To address that concern, the bIll says that any CRA
crated on or after July 1, 2002, the effectIve date of the bill becomIng law, is limIted to
usmg mcrement revenues and haVln bonds mature no later than 40 ears after that
IS plan IS adopted.- The obligation of any taxIng authonty to pay tax Increment to
the redevelopment trust fund IS lIkewIse limIted to 40 years from the date of adoptIOn of
the redevelopment plan for a CRA created on or after July 1, 2002 CRAs III eXIstence as
of July 1, 2002, Includlllg those bemg created at that tIme that fit wIthm a so-calleq
"pIpelme" proVIsIon, are not subject to the "hard" 40 year bmIt, but have up to 60 years
SpecIal DIStrIctS. Three changes are made to the proVIsIOns pertamIng to the
payment of tax mcrement by specIal dIStrictS. (i) the tIme limIt on when the specIal
dIStnct was created to be eligible for an automatic exemptIon has been removed, (n) the

tune IIrmt on when a special dtstnct can apply to the governing body to be exempted has
been removed; and (m) In an amendment to the bIlllate In the process, a specIal dtstnct
for WhICh "the sole avaIlable source of revenue the dIStnct has authonty to levy IS ad
valorem taxes at the tIme the ordmance creatIng the trust fund was enacted."
ThIs last change will lIkely be the most confusmg and the most controversIal
amendment for specIal dlstnctS. One Issue is whether the amendment IS to be applIed
prospectIvely only There IS a rule of statutory mterpretatIOn that dIsfavors retroactIve
applicatIon oflaws In the absence of an express legIslatIve statement of ItS Intent to do so
Such a statement IS not present here Therefore, the better readmg IS that tills amendment
WIll be read prospectIvely only The meanmg of the change wIll also lIkely be
contentIous SpecIal distncts will undoubtedly use thts amendment to get around the
Attorney General's opImon that narrowly read the previous language In thIs subsectIOn
that a distnct was exempt If its sole source of revenue was from ad valorem taxes
Local govermng bodies that have created CRAs should establish procedures an4
polIcIes for exemptmg specIal dIstncts ..!i"om the obligatIon to pay tax increment. WIth
~ious tIme limit bemg removed as of July I, 2002, specIal distncts now paymg
Increment revenues can be expected to apply for exemptIons, WhICh are In the discretIon
of the local govermng body, but must be reasonable and subject to procedures It
establIshes.
Use of Redevelopment Trust Fund In 1985 a list of permIssIble uses of money
m the Redevelopment Trust Fund was added to s. 163.387, Flonda Statutes Tlns lIst was
added to allay the concerns of some, particularly bond counsel, that the trust fund could
be unalterably pledged to the payment of bonds. The lIst was not Ifitended to be an
exhaustIve lIst But III the mterverung years, some have red It as an exhaustIve lIst The
bIll contaIns an amendment to thts sectIon that makes It clear that moneys in the trust
fund can be expended from tune to tune for "Wldertakmgs of the commurnty
redevelopment agency" and that those undertakes may Include "but are not limIted to" the
lIst In 163.387(6). .
Charter CountIes. There are two changes pertammg to charter countIes. One
allows a charter county WIth a populatIon of 1.6 mIllIon or less to create more than one
CRA. There IS case law, the Ft Myers deCISIon that limIts the number of CRAs In any
one junsdictIOn to one Of the 17 charter countIes, only two (MIamI Dade and Broward)
exceed the 1 6 mIllIon populatlOn so all other charter countIes wIll be able to create more
than one CRA. ThIs amendment purportedly came from Palm Beach County, but others
may use It thiS amendment does not affect any CIty located wIthm a charter county and
a charter county stIlI must obtam CIty approval before creatmg a eRA wItlnn any part of
the CIty'S boundanes
The other change pertaIrung to charter countIes says that a request from a
munICIpalIty to a charter county for eIther the delegation of redevelopment powers or a
-change in an eXlstmg delegatIOn, the county must submIt the request to the governin
o y or ac lon WIt n 0 days after receIpt of the request thIS WIl prevent county
'-
-:.L
-!,
staff from holdmg delegatJon re uests from cItIes for more than 4 months The change
oes not say county govermng body must act on the request, but only the request
must be presented to them.
Fmdmg ofNecessItv Fmdings of necessIty made on and after July 1, 2002 must
'be supported by "data and analysIs." As a practical matter this IS not a sigmficant change. \/
but codIfies eXIstIng practice The findIng IS also charactenzed as bemg a "legtslatIve ~
findmg" which makes It clear what the legal status of the findIng IS and should make It
more difficult to challenge III court because courts typIcally do not look behind legislatIve
findIngs
Grandfather and TransitIOn Provisions These parts of the bIll (combIned
mto SectJon 10) caused the most attention, work and negohatJon These prOVIsIons
protect eXIsting CRAs and those that are m the process of bemg created as well as those
In the process of ISSUIng debt
None of the amendments to Part ill, Chapter 163, Flonda Statutes, adopted by thIs
legislatIon apply to any ordinance or resolutIOn authonzing the Issuance of bonds, notes
or other form of mdebtedness pursuant to a commtullty redevelopment plan adopted or
amended before July 1,2002
The amendments to Part III, Chapter 163, Flonda Statutes, do not apply to any
ordmance, resolution, mterlocal agreement or wntten agreement effectIve before July 1,
2002, that proVIdes for the delegatJon of redevelopment powers to a cIty.
The amendments to sectIons 163.340 (defimtions), 163355 (findmg of necessIty),
163.361 (modIfication of plan), and 163.362 (contents of plan), Flonda Statutes, do not
apply to or affect, drrectly or mdlrectly, any community redevelopment agency created
pnor to July I, 2002. However, those amendments do apply to such agency If It expands
Its area on or after July 1, 2002, but only to the expanded area. The amendments to other
sections contamed In the bIll do apply to eXIstmg CRAs

Bill Analysis: The pnmary ObJectIVes of tlns bill when ongmally filed were to (1)
"tighten" the defimtIons of slum and blIght and (11) lunIt the term of a commuruty
redevelopment agency ("eRA"). Those obJectIves have to a large extent been met
Much of the actIvIty mvolvmg thIS bIll mvolved protectmg eXIstIng CRAs and fendmg
off unwanted amendments
DefimtIOns The defirutIOn of "slum area" m 163 340, Flonda Statutes, IS
amended to read as follows
(7) "Slum area" means an area with phYSICal or economIC condItIOns conducIve
dIsease, mfant mortalIty, juverule delInquency, poverty or cnrne to because there
IS a predominance ofbmldings or Improvements, whether resIdentIal or
nonresidentIal, that are ImpaIred by reason of dIlapIdatIon, detenoratIon, age, or
obsolescence, and whIch exlnbIts one or more of the following factors.
(a) Inadequate proVIsIon for ventilation, light, aIr, samtatlon, or open spaces;
(b) HIgh densIty of population as eVIdenced by comparables of the populatIon
densIty of adjacent areas WIthin the county or munIcIpalIty, and overcrowdIng,
as eVIdenced by government -maIntaIned statistics and regulations In the state
bUIldmg code, or

(c) The eXIstence of condItions whIch endanger lIfe or property by fire or other
causes, or any combInation of such factors.
The mtent of the drafters of tlus new defiru tIon, the Flonda AsSOCIation of Counties, was
to make the cntena more obJective and more difficult to meet y
There was a SImIlar Intent for changes made to the defirutIOn of "blIghted area."
That defimtIOn has been changed to read as follows.
(8) "BlIghted area" means an area in wmch there are a substanlial number of
slum, detenorated, or detenoratIng structures and III whIch condItions as eVIdenced by
government-maintained ~tatIstIcs, are leadmg to economic distres~or endanger l!fe or
property :, and III whicl1 ~r more of the followmg factors are present:
~
(a) Predommance of defective or ll}adeQuate street layout, parkIng facIhtIes,
roadways, bndges, or public transportatIOn faCIlIties, ~
(b) Aggregate assessed values of real property m the area for 3d valorem tax
purposes have faIled to show any apprecIable Illcrease over the 5 years poor to the
findIng of such condItIons;
(c) Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, acceSSIbility, or usefulness.
(d) Unsamtary or unsafe conditions;
(e) Detenoration of SIte or other nnprovements,
(f) fuadequate and outdated bUlldmg den~lty patterns;
(g) FallIng lease rates per square foot of office, commerCIal or mdustnal space
compared to the remaInder of the county or murucipality;
(h) Tax or special assessment delmquency exceedmg the faIr value of the
land,
(I) ReSIdential and commerCIal vacancy rates htgher m the area than In the
remaInder of the county or murucIpahty,
(J) InCIdence of cnme III the area htgher than In the remamder of the county
or mumclpahty,
(k) FIre and emergency medical servIce calls to the area proportIOnately
hIgher than m the remainder of the county or municipahty,

However, the term "blighted area" also means any area m which at least one of
the factors IdentIfied m paragraphs (a) through (n) are present and all taxmg authontIes
subJect to s 163 387(Z)(a) agree, eIther by mterlocal agreement or agreements With the
agency or by resolutIon, that the area IS blIghted. Such agreement or resolutIon shall only
determIne that the area IS blighted. For purposes qualIfymg for the tax credits authonzed
m chapter 220, "blIghted area" means an area as defIned m thIS subsectIOn
The two si!!llificant cbane:es in the definition are (i) at least two of the factors
listed In (a) through (n) must be found to eXIst m the area, unless all taxmg authorities
agree only one factor IS present and the area IS blIghted; and (n) the addItIon of (n) that
"governmentally owned property with adverse enVIronmental condttIons" is a factor of ,-_
(l to'-
blIght. As wIth the defrmtIon of blIght, the drafters of the changes to the defirntIon of L>:"",--t.., J;;>
blight wanted to "tIghten" up the defirntIons and make It more dIfficult or make the / /V --)
findmg Furthermore, they wanted to make It more obJective, thus the references to use r~d ~ _.I" -t,'
of statistIcs and com ansons to the remamder of the coun or mumc Ity. Very few (f) ,
save een created on the basIS of only one factor so It IS unlIkely these changes
WIll have an adverse effect on the creatIon of CRAs III the future These chan~es to no
~ply to ;mY--CXls1mg CRA. except that the new defimtIons apply to any expanSIOn of th_e
CRA, but only to the expanded area
The "adverse envrronmental conditIons" addItIon may have the most effect In the
future ThIs amendment, whIch was conceIved ofb MiamI CRA Chalf Art Teele, closes
e op etween the Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Chapter 288, Honda Statutesl
and the CommunIty Redevelopment Act. TIns factor Will allow Clues to mclude vacant,
contammated property m redevelopment areas and use tax mcrement financmg and other
finanCIal resources to clean up the property and make them VIable tor pnvate or publIc
redeVelopment _ --- --
Term of CRAs. Under current law a eRA must set a time certam for
completIng redevelopment financed by increment revenues, but may not exceed 30 years.
However, for any amendment to the CRA's redevelopment plan It can get an extenSIon
for up to another 30 years TIns IS subJect to a maxunwn of 60 years for whIch mcrement
revenues are paId to the CRA by each taxIng authonty Several countIes complaIned that
thIs allowed for perpetual CRAs. To address that concern, the bIll says that any CRA
crated on or after July 1, 2002, the effectIve date of the bill becommg law, is limIted tg
usmg Increment revenues and haVIn bonds mature no later than 40 ears after that
S plan IS adopted..- The oblIgatIon of any taxIng authonty to pay tax Increment to
the redevelopment trust fund IS likeWIse lInllted to 40 years from the date of adoptIon of
the redevelopment plan for a CRA created on or after July 1, 2002. eRAs in eXIstence as
of July I, 2002, Includmg those bemg created at that tIme that fit WIthIn a so-called
"pIpelIne" proVISIOn, are not subject to the "hard" 40 year lmllt, but have up to 60 years.
SpeCIal DIStrICtS. Three changes are made to the prOVISIOns pertaImng to the
payment of tax increment by speCIal dIStrIcts' (I) the tIme lImIt on when the speCIal
dIstrIct was created to be ehgtble for an automatIc exemptIOn has been removed, (11) the
...)/
~
{
--.t
-r,
9- J t/>--
~-
I j
tlme limIt on when a special distrIct can apply to the governing body to be exempted has
been removed, and (iiI) In an amendment to the bIll late In the process, a specIal distrIct
for wluch "the sole aVaIlable source of revenue the dIStrIct has authoritY to levy IS ad
valorem taxes at the time the ordInance creating the trust fund was enacted."
Tlus last change WIll lIkely be the most confusmg and the most controversial
amendment for specIal distrIcts One Issue IS whether the amendment IS to be applIed
prospectIvely only There IS a rule of statutory InterpretatIon that disfavors retroactIve
applIcatIOn oflaws In the absence of an express legIslatIve statement of ItS mtent to do so
Such a statement IS not present here Therefore, the better readmg IS that tIns amendment
Will be read prospectively only. The meamng of the change Will also lIkely be
contentIOUS. SpecIal distrIcts wIll undoubtedly use tlus amendment to get around the
Attorney General's opImon that narrowly read the prevIOUS language in tlus subsectIOn
that a dIStrIct was exempt If ItS sole source of revenue was from ad valorem taxes.
Local governIng bodIes that have created CRAs should establIsh procedures anq
polICIes for exemptmg special dIStrICts from the obligation to pay tax increment. With
me previous tIme limIt bemg removed as of July 1, 2002, specIal dtstrIcts now paYIng
mcrement revenues can be expected to apply for exemptIOns, wluch are In the discretIon
of the local govemmg body, but must be reasonable and subJect to procedures It
establIshes
Use of Redevelopment Trust Fund In 1985 a lIst of permIssIble uses of money
m the Redevelopment Trust Fund was added to s 163.387, Flonda Statutes Tlus list was
added to allay the concerns of some, partIcularly bond counsel, that the trust fund could
be unalterably pledged to the payment of bonds The lIst was not lDtended to be an
exhaustive lIst But III the Illtervemng years, some have red It as an exhaustive list The
bIll contams an amendment to tlus section that makes It clear that mone s III the trust
d can be expended from tIme to ttme for "undertalangs of the commumty
redevelopment agency" and that t se undertakes may mclude "but are not ,lImIted to" the
1St In 163 387(6).
Charter Counties There are two changes pertaInIng to charter countIes_ One
allows a charter county WIth a population of 1.6 rmllIon or less to create more than one
CRA There IS case law, the Ft. Myers deCISIOn that limIts the nwnber of CRAs in any
one JunSdICtIOD to one Of the 17 charter countIes, only two (MIamI Dade and Broward)
exceed the 1 6 mIllIon populatIon so all other charter counties WIll be able 'to create more
than one CRA This amendment purportedly came from Palm Beach County, but others
may use It ThIS amendment does not affect any CIty located wlthm a charter county and
a charter county stIll must obtaIn cIty approval before creatmg a eRA wlthm any part of
the CIty'S boundanes
The other change pertammg to charter counties says that a request from a
mumcIpalIty to a charter COMty for either the delegation of redevelopment powers or a
change m an eXlstmg delegatIon, the county must subrmt the request to the govermn
o y or ac Ion WIt In 0 days ~er receIpt of the request. Tlus wIl prevent county
--:L
-!
staff from holdIng delegatIOn re uests from cItIes for more than 4 months. The change
oes not say county govemmg body must act on the request, but only the request
must be presented to them
FIndIng ofNecessItv Findings of necessity made on and after July 1, 2002 must
be supported by "data and analysIs." As a practical matter this IS not a slgmficant change,
but codIfies eXIstmg practIce The finding IS also charactenzed as beIng a "legtslatIVe
findIng" wInch makes It clear what the legal status of the finding IS and should make It
more difficult to challenge m court because courts typIcally do not look behind legtslatIve
findmgs.
Grandfather and TransitIon ProvisIons These parts of the bIll (combined
mto SectIon 10) caused the most attentIOn, work and negotIatIOn. These proVIsIons
protect eXIstIng eRAs and those that are m the process of bemg created as well as those
m the process of iSSUIng debt
None of the amendments to Part Ill, Chapter 163, Flonda Statutes, adopted by this
legtslatIon apply to any ordinance or resolutlon authorizmg the Issuance of bonds, notes

DATE

RECOMMENDATION I RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE
APPROACH IN THIS MEMORANDUM FOR DESIGNATING AND FUNDING
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
DISCUSSION ThiS report IS a follow.up to a report on CRA's that was presented to the
Board on July 23,2001 and circulated to the mumcipahhes for comment The comments
were receIved and modIficatIOns to the recommendatIons have been made based upon
those comments Those adJustments Will be discussed at the end of this report where the
recommendatIOns are made
The F10nda Commumty Redevelopment Act of 1969 (the "Act") prOVIdes a mechamsm
whereby local governments can conduct proJects or actIVItIes to ehmInate and prevent the
spread of declared slum and bhghtmg condltIons wlthm a deSIgnated area (redevelopment
dIstnct) State Statutes reqUIre mumclpahtIes, whIch are In a county With a home rule
charter, to first obtam a delegatIOn of redevelopment authonty and powers from the
Board of County CommISSIOners before InItIatIng any redevelopment actIVItIes under the
Act The Pmellas County Board of County CommiSSIOners has delegated redevelopment
powers to 16 distncts In 9 CItIes (one additIonal dIstnct was created pnor to the home rule
charter prOVISIOn) Of these 17 dIstncts, 10 distncts, to date, have establIshed tax
Increment financmg ApprOXimately $13 mtlhon of County funds have been dIstnbuted
to these 10 dtstncts from 1990 through 2001 for redevelopment purposes
On February 19,2001, the Board of County CommISSioners conducted a Workshop on
commumty redevelopment dIStncts and the use of redevelopment trust funds to pay for
improvements III these dlstncts Followmg a dISCUSSIon on the hIstory of commumty
redevelopment dIstncts m PmeUas County and the different optIons avaIlable for fundIng
improvements wIthm these distncts, the Board directed staff to develop gUIdelines and
parameters regardmg the establIshment of commumty redevelopment distncts and the use
of tax Increment financmg funds to implement redevelopment plans It was also
requested that staff recommend a process by which the Board could be appnsed on a
regular baSIS of what progress has been made m imp1ementmg the redevelopment plans
The Board also wanted staff to prepare a checklIst of state and publIc other than tax
Increment financmg that could be available to mUnIcIpalItles and the County for fundmg
lmplementatlon of redevelopment plans
On June 5,2001 the Board of County CommissIOners considered a request'from the City
of Tarpon Spnngs to delegate redevelopment power to the CIty for their downtown area
The Board delegated thIS redevelopment power to the City, but as a result of the
discussIOns thaf occurred at the Workshop on February 19th, Pmellas County added some
additIonal reqUirements that had not been mcluded m prevIOUS delegatIOns 'to other
mUllIcipahtles These addItIOnal reqUIrements mclude havmg the CIty of Tarpon Spnngs
prepare a progress report every three years to show how expendItures are accomphshmg
the obJectives of the redevelopment plan that IS ultImately approved for downtown, and
IdentIfymg any fundmg sources, m addItIon to tax Increment finanCIng, that the CIty
could pursue for fundmg Implementatlon of the redevelopment plan The actIOn taken by
the Bo::!.rd 1n approvmg thIS delegatIon to the City of Tarpon Spnngs has provu:l.ed
addItIOnal gUIdance to staff m developmg recommendatIOns to the Board regardmg the
establtshment and fundmg of commumty redevelopment distncts '
The key element to creating a redevelopment dlstnct IS the presence of one or more slum
or blIghted areas or an area where there IS a shortage ofhousmg affordable to low or
moderate mcome reSIdents, mcludIng the elderly The cntena for slum area are a
predomInance of dilapIdated resldentlal or nonreSIdential bUIldmgs, overcrowdmg,
condItIons that may endanger life or property by fire or other causes, or a combmatlOn of
any such factors that IS detnmental to publIc health, safety or welfare BlIghtmg
condItIOns mcludes the followmg factors that may substantIally Impmr SOUl1d growth of
the area 1) predommance of mad equate street layout, 2) faulty lot layout relatmg to SIze,
acceSSIbility, or usefulness, 3) Unsamtary or unsafe conditions, 4) sIte dete~oratlOn; 5)
madequate and outdated bUIldmg denSIty patterns, 6) tax delInquency exceedmg the faIr
value of the land, 7) madequate transportatIon and parkmg facilItles; and 8); dIversity of
ownershIp or unusual condItIons of tItle It should be noted that the 2002 State
Legislature has made some adjustments to the slum and blighted cntena whIch will need
to be evaluated
The next maJor step IS the local government, through ItS Commumty Redevelopment
Agt:ncy, fomlUlates a workable program or redevelopment plan for the appr'oved dIstnct
I
ThIS distnct redevelopment plan must go before the Board of County CommiSSioners for
approval An approved dIstnct redevelopment plan IS the gUIde by which tHe commumty
redevelopment agency WIll utIlIze appropnate pnvate and publIc resources to address the
slum and blIghtmg condItIOns mentIoned above The distnct redevelopmen~ plan IS to
proVIde suffiCIent detaIl to speCIfically Identify any pubhcly funded capItal improvement
proJects wIthm the redevelopment dIstnct ThIS detaIl states the prOJected costs, mcluded
the amount to be expended and the mdebtedness expected to be mcurred and if the costs
are to be repaId by tax Increment revenues Timetables are to be determmeq for those
projects that are to be financed by tax mcrement revenues The plan must c0ntam
adequate safeguards that the redevelopment actIVitIes Will be carried out pur:suant to the
dIstnct redevelopment plan Furthermore, It is important to note the dIrect relatIOnship
between the BoardMapproved plan and the findmgs of the slum and blIghtmg condItlons
or lack of affordable housmg The purpose ofthe plan is to propose proJects that Will
elImmate those IdentIfied slum and blIghtmg conditIons or remedy the lack of affordable
housmg, which have hllldered physIcal and economiC development III the dIstnct In
turn, applicable fundlllg, whether from tax mcrements or other sources, must be used to
finance or refinance the proJects that WIll elImmate those slum and bhghtmg conditIons
or lack of affordable hOUSIng for whIch the redevelopment dIStrICt was created
~
...
A redevelopment trust fund must be established by the respectIve commumty
redevelopment agency, but does not necessanly have to be funded by tax lllcrements
Other financial sources may be used as trust fund revenues The tax mcrement financlllg,
though, cannot be used until the Board of County CommIsSIOners as well as the local
governmg body establishes the financmg mechamsm by ordmance The Board has
hlstoncally pledged County Increment revenues (If requested) to "downtown"
redevelopment dlstncts, but not to comdor or mdustnal park dIstncts ThIS dIrectIOn IS
consIstent WIth the Plllellas ComprehensIve Plan Policy (TransportatIOn Policy 1 44)
that supports the establIshment of mIxed-use and redevelopment wlthm downtowns, and
that it is the County's role to reVIew and approve redevelopment plans and related
fundmg mechamsms The length of the tIme penod for provldmg tax Increment
revenues can vary (the State law has allowed up to 30 years untIl the 2002 legIslature
WhICh changes that limIt to 40 years), dependmg on the proJected expendItures or
Illdebtedness The respective City can choose to propose Increments for a speCIfied length
of tIme, but tlus tIme must be approved by the Board Therefore, It IS important that the
finanCIal analyses of capItal projects proVIded m the approved redevelopment plan are
well JustIfied and realistIc
Flonda Statutes reqUIres that each commumty redevelopment agency proVIde an annual
finanCIal audit of the trust fund These redevelopment agency audIts, though conducted
separately, are typically accounted for III the audIt reports of the respectIve CIty
governments that are received and filed WIth the Board of County CommiSSIoners
Records The AdmInIstrator's office IS recommendmg that a more defimtIve progress
report from the commumty redevelopment agenCIes be presented to the Board of County
CommISSIOners to confirm the progress of completmg the redevelopment actiVities as
outlIned m the approved plan ProVIdIng for a progress report on an annual baSIS IS
reasonable based upon speCial and umque conditIOns of the area and obJectIves of the
delegatIon ThIS project report should apply to both "downtown" and "non-downtown"
redevelopment dIstncts SInce the County has an oblIgatIon to see that redevelopment
actIvItIes are carned out as approved III the dIstnct redevelopment plans In additIon, It IS
Jntended that these recommendatIOns apply to all eXistmg and histone distncts
It is recommended that Board polIcy take two approaches to commumty redevelopment
distncts
1) "Downtown" Commumty Redevelopment DIstncts
a) DeSignate only that area of the proposed dIstnct that IS commensurate WIth
the ongmal downtown of the respectIve local government
b) DelegatIOn of and author! ty for certam communIty redevelopment powers,
a dIstnct redevelopment plan, and a redevelopment trust fund would be
consIdered and would be authonzed if they meet the cntena of the
Commumty Redevelopment Act of 1969 (Fla Stat 9163 330-9163 450)
and are consistent with applIcable comprehensive plans and programs
c) A bnefprogress report of redevelopment actIvitIes With a statement of
accomplIshments and budget wIll be reqUired on an annual basIs, and will
be reVIewed agamst the approved dlstnct redevelopment plan and
associated amendments The County may rescmd or modIfy the
delegatIOn authonty If there IS a lack of sufficient progress t6 carry out the
redevelopment actIvIties or a good faith effort to carry out the
redevelopment activItIes IS not eVIdent
d) County may agree to pledge tax Increment revenues to the trust fund for
the apphLable dlstnct The percentage of County mcr~ment ,revenues and
the length ofttme ofpledgmg County mcrement revenues may vary
dependmg on the financIal analysIs of the approved dlstnct redevelopment
plan
e) Local Commumty Redevelopment Agencies are encouraged ,to seek other
fundmg mechamsms, mc1udmg, but not lImIted to, grants, loans and
donatIons
2) "Non-Downtown" CommunIty Redevelopment Dlstncts.
a) Proposed boundanes of dlstncts that are of a "non-downtown" nature must
be Justtfied m the Fmdmgs of Necessity Report
b) DelegatIOn of and authonty for certam commumty redevelopment powers,
a dlstnct redevelopment plan, and a redevelopment trust fund would be
considered and would be authonzed if they meet the cntena pfthe
Commumty Redevelopment Act of 1969 (Fla Stat 9163 330-9163 450)
and are consistent WIth applIcable comprehensIve plans and programs
c) A bnef progress report of redevelopment activIties WIth a statement of
accomplishments and budget WIll be reqUIred on an annual baSIS, and WIll
be reVIewed agamst the approved dlstnct redevelopment plan and
assocIated amendments The County may rescmd or modIfy the
delegatIon authonty If there IS a lack of suffiCient progress to; carry out the
redevelopment actIvItIes or a good faIth effort to carry out the
redevelopment activIties IS not eVIdent
d) The County may pledge tax mcrement revenues to the trust fund for the
applicable dlstnct based upon a umque set of conditIons for that area and
the specml aspects of the applIcable plan ThiS actIOn does not preclude
the mUnICipality from pledgmg mumcipal tax mcrement revenues to the
trust fund
e) Local Commumty Redevelopment AgencIes are encouraged to seek other
fundmg mechamsms, mc1udmg, but not lImIted to, grants, loans and
donatIOns
The changes to the July 23rd recommendations that are reflected above are
1) Reference to the hIstonc nature of a downtown dIstnct is deleted
2) The progress report wIll mc1ude a statement of accomplishments and
~budget and be annual, not every three years, and wIll be bnef
3) The County may pledge TIP's (Tax mcrement Fmancmg) m non~
downtown areas based upon a UnIque set of condItlOns for that area and _
the specIal aspects of the applIcable plan (the prevlOUS draft stated there
would be no TIF's m non-downtown areas),

INTRODUCTION
In July 2002, ULI was asked by the City of Clearwater to assIst the CIty staff as It
develops conceptual gUIdelInes for the establIshment of an entertamment dIstnct III
the downtown
Background
The CIty of Clearwater, located approximately 20 mIles west of Tampa between
Tampa Bay and the Gulf of MexIco, has long been recogmzed as a tounst destmatlOn
and a beach commumty Offenng beautIful beaches, a vanety of recreatIOnal
opporhImtIes, and a subtropIcal clrmate, the CIty IS the destmatlOn of Flonda residents
as well as out-of-state and mternatIonal VISItors It IS also a busmess commUTIlty with
Class A office bmldmgs and regIOnal headquarters for several busmesses Clearwater
IS the Pmellas County seat and boasts regIOnal medIcal facIlIties as well as other
mstItutlOnal tenants,
Clearwater also has mcredIble natural resources Clearwater Harbor and the Gulf of
MeXICO offer spectacular water views. Coachman Park, WIth Its amphItheater, IS a
CIty-WIde resource The gulfbeaches are a destmatIon for many vacatIOners In
addItion, Clearwater has a bluff along the Clearwater Harbor waterfront, whIch IS
unusual for Flonda's coastal areas To protect thIS bluff, the City passed an ordmance
reqUITIng that any proposed development below the 28-foot contour be put to a
referendum
Coachman Park IS a regional draw With an outdoor amphItheater and WIde open
spaces, It plays host to approXImately 15 events each year mcludmg a J azz festival,
arts and crafts faIrs, and concerts It IS the IdentIfiable gathenng place m the CIty ~
the CIty'S lIvmg room
In the 1990s, the CIty realIzed that It had the opportumty to redevelop Its downtown
and waterfront mto a destmatlOn that would complement the tradItIonal destmatlOns
of the beaches and the harbor The goal was to make downtown not Just a place to
work, but also a place to play, to shop, and to lIve The City issued a Request for
Proposals for a master plan for the downtown, whIch resulted m an aggressIve plan
that Involved redevelopment of Coachman Park, Increased access to the waterfront,
and mixes of uses m the downtown Smce the plan mcluded development below the
28-foot contour, It needed to go to referendum Unfortunately, the plan was voted
down for a vanety of reasons It was not marketed well to the general publIc, there
was a misconceptIon that the City was gIvmg resources away to a pnvate developers
for essentIally no cost to the developer, and the plan appeared to be "too bIg" for the
qUIet downtown that the CItIzens of Clearwater were used to In addItIon, the plan
seemed to belong to the developer and there was no publIc ownershIp of the plan

THE BLUFF
When tounng downtown Clearwater, the panel had the opportunIty to see first hand
the unique resource that IS know as "the bluff' SpecIfically, the panel saw that It is
strategically located In a way that demarks downtown from the waterfront and can
provide a transitIOn for the development ofthe downtown to the resources of
shorefront
The Opportunities
The panel saw The Bluff as an area that can create a memorable place for both
residents and VISItorS, thus becomIng Clearwater's signature destmatIOn
ApproxImately 20 acres of land are mc1uded m the bluff area and the panel saw an
opportumty for hOUSIng, retmJ, entertamment, and tradItional downtown uses such as
office and commercIal
The Goals
As the panel talked to CIty staff and bUSIness owners, It heard many dIfferent goals for
the downtown and the bluff area These rnc1uded the followmg
. Creating a gathenng place for VISItors and resIdents III a casual and comfortable
environment that IS accessIble to everyone
. Preservmg Coachman Park and the amplntheater
. Integratmg new development below the bluff mto the downtown
. Marketmg the area to new resIdents, tounsts, busrness travelers, conventIon
planners, and mslItutlOoal users
. Creatrng a place WIth water onentatIOn that takes advantage of the outdoor
amemties and natural resources Clearwater has to offer

PLANNING CONCEPTS FOR THE DOWNTOWN AND THE WATERFRONT
From Its dISCUSSIOns with CIty staff, the panel developed some plannmg concepts for
the downtown and waterfront area The challenges that the CIty has III redevelopmg
Its downtown IS keepmg the new development and redevelopment at an appropnate
scale for the waterfront, plannmg an elght- to ten-year buIld out, m multiple phases
and attractmg mtenrn uses for vacant bUIldmgs and parcels, such as the Stem Mart
and Harbor Center (CHECK NAME) untIl the entire plan IS developed
Plan Elements
In ItS best professional Judgment and expenence m sImIlar markets, the panel belIeves
that a downtown with the following elements IS achievable In Clearwater
. ApproXImately 400,000 square feet ofretatl and entertamment
. 2,000 housmg UnIts 10 the llnInedIate downtown and III the adJOInIng
neighborhoods (mcludmg apartments, townhouses, and small smgle farnIly)
. Hotel and office
. Active and flexible publIc spaces - mcludmg enhancmg the access from the new
lIbrary to the waterfront, Coachman Park, and the downtown
. Central shared parkmg plan for each phase
. A first phase that mcludes cultural uses and celebrates the new lIbrary
Access to Downtown
Clearwater IS a CIty WIth many parts It IS dIVIded by Clearwater Harbor, wIth a new
bndge bemg constructed Whtle thIS bndge Will contmue to lInk the downtown and
the beaches, Its m31n purpose IS hurncane evacuatIOn and IS bemg constructed III such
a way as to maxImIze movement off the bamer Island m the event of a Datural
dIsaster The new configuratIon, however, bypasses the downtown Once the bndge
IS complete, It wIll be cntIcal that adequate sIgnage and wayfindmg are III place to
dIrect people who are commg to the downtown from t~e~each
The success of the downtown WIll also depend on lw4'age; to other parts of the CIty
by means other than cars A water shuttle, mann@:~'d bike and pedestnan traIls can
all provIde access to the downtown from other parts of the CIty and other parts ofthe
county
\>l
Access to Coachman Park wIII'modIfied once the new bndge IS completed and thIs
WIll need to be reevaluated to maxImIze use of the park Because of the sIgmficant
elderly populatIOn m Clearwater, accommodatIOns for those who cannot walk long
dIstances need to be mcorporated mto the new plans for the downtown The panel

recommends proVldmg servIce and access to the park by way of Drew Street, under
the new bndge, and at the Cleveland Street terrmnus,
Parking
l
Parkmg downtown IS needed for the every day VISItorS as well as people who come
downtown for specIal events LIke the development and redevelopment pro] ects
downtown, thIS, too, can be phased On-street parkmg can occur on Osceola Street
after the new bndge IS open and traffic has been relocated more to Myrtle Street ill
addItion, on- street parkmg on Cleveland Street wIll prOVIde access to restaurants,
entertamment venues, and retaIl as well as Coachman Park and the water Parlang
garages can be developed III rmd-blocks or center of block The panel recommends
that parlong garages be developed With retaIl on first floor to bnng hfe to the street
The Waterfront
The waterfront IS one of Clearwater's most marketable assets It IS not somethmg
every City has and IS a treasure that IS valued by reSIdents and VIsItors. The panel
belIeves that the CIty needs to take advantage oftlus resource by contmumg the
festivals and events It currently sponsors and, If possible. mcrease the number of
events These events can be complemented wIth low-densIty commercIal uses,
mcludmg speCIalty stores and restaurants The relocation of the Cleveland Street
bndge offers an opporturuty for a festIval pIer and pOSSIbly a new manna WIth boat
rentals, The waterfront needs to mIX both paSSIve WIth actIve uses that WIll
encourage regular VISItS from reSIdents as well as destmatlOn VISItS from tounsts The
waterfront also prOVIdes an OpportunIty for the City to preserve tradItIons, such as the
Jazz FestIval, and create new ones

of downtown Clearwater a realIty It mcludes a dIscussIOn on the "homework" the
city needs to do to move forward With redevelopment, estImated costs associated WIth
redevelopment of the downtown, and the key factors III successful redevelopment
~
City Homework
Before redevelopment can occur m the downtown, several questIOns needed to be
answered and many Issues resolved These mclude the followmg
. Detemnne the CIty commItments and tlmetable for a senes of actIons that are
currently bemg discussed These mclude Improvements to Coachman Park and
the amplutheater, streetscape Improvements on Cleveland Street at Osceola
Avenue, replacement of waterfront parkmg, and the bUlldmg of publIc parkmg
garages
. Deternllne feasibIlIty ofmcreased water actIVItIes, These mclude water taxI
lmkages to the rest of the CIty and the bamer Island, development of a new manna
at the base of Cleveland Street, and development of an actIvity pIer where the old
bndge has been relocated,
. Begm to share and educate the vIsion for the reVItalized downtown and waterfront
WIth the public It will be CrItIcal to gam publIc support for the "new downtown
Clearwater" and create excitement about what the downtown can be It IS also
Important for reSidents to understand the role ofthe CIty, the role of the pnvate
sector and the role of the CItIzens The sooner thIS educatIon process starts, the
better Equally critical is that the staff believe in the plan that is developed.
Immediate Steps
There are several steps that the panel belIeves can be taken Immediately to show that
there IS good change C01lllng to downtown
. hnprove Stem Mart WIth wmdows, slgnage, streetscape and landscape The
redevelopment ofthe Stem Mart and Harbor Place bUIldmg WIll happen III tIme,
however, untIl that occurs, It IS Important that thiS economIC benefit to the
downtown remam However, It does not need to remam as a blank box on the
street and should be retrofitted to open the buddmg up to the street and make It
more welco1lllng and attractive
. Encourage addItional tenants and Improvements along Cleveland Street
Cleveland Street IS the gateway mto the downtown The City needs to work With
the eXlstmg tenants to Improve the bUlldmg facades and to work WIth bUlldmg
owners to tenant theIr bUIldmgs as soon as pOSSIble The panel heard that the

Church of SCIentology IS wlllmg to asSISt m fundmg streetscape Improvements m
the downtown and thIS offer should be explored
. Work wIth the BaptIst Church to coord mated the redevelopment of Its sIte WI th
redevelopment of the CIty Hall SIte These two parcels together present a
sIgruficant redevelopment opporturuty and the CIty needs to be actIvely mvolved
with the plans for the Baptist church sIte
. Start Coachman Park and parkmg Improvements as soon as pOSSIble People need
to see Improvement m the downtown and by provIdmg additIonal parkmg and

KEYS TO SUCCESS
The panel saw great potentIal m downtown Clearwater and Its waterfront There are
assets here that many other cItIes around the country would be enVIOUS of a beautIful
waterfront, a core of downtown busmesses, and community pnde The panel beheves
that the followmg actIons WIll help the CIty realtze Its full potentIal for the downtown
and waterfront
. UtIlIze all the CIty'S tools plaIliung, zonmg, finanCIal assIstance
. Have the larger VISIon, but operate on manageable bItes It IS Important to have a
VISIOn for the whole downtown and what It wIll look lIke when the entIre
redevelopment project IS completed, It IS even more Important to understand that
the redevelopment of Downtown Clearwater Will occur III mcrements wIth
catalytIc proJects, not all at once
. CampaIgn for the referendum approvals, polls, publIc relatIons, and play to WIll
The panel belIeves that through a strong publIc relatiOns campaIgn and a
concerted effort to educate the resIdents of the comrnumty-wIde benefits of a
redeveloped downtown, publIc support for the proJect can be gamed These
benefits mclude but are not lImIted to the followmg
· Increased tax revenues
· SpurrIng addItIonal development
. Bolstenng eXIstrng property values
. Enhanced qualtty of lIfe outdoor actIVItIes, concerts, water access, mgher
qUalIty retaIl, and entertarnment
. Keep staff and publIc focused wIth tms as a pnonty WIth all the other day-to-
day actiVitIes that are part ofrunnrng a CIty and WIth competIng mterests, It IS
dIfficult to keep focused on one project But the panel beheves that for the
redevelopment of the downtown to be successful, It Will be Important for the

CONCLUSION
The panel carne to Clearwater and saw a downtown that has the benefit of several
assets waterfront access and VIews, open space, large lots that can serve as catalyst
sItes, and an mltIal signature project - the new lIbrary - underway The staff cannot
be dIscouraged by the perceIved setback of the faIled referendum but needs to learn
from that expenence and move forward By creatmg a larger VISIon for redeveloped
downtown and approachmg It m smaller, manageable projects, the panel belIeves that
It WIll come back to Clearwater m the not-so-dIstant future and see a downtown that

RE:
DOWNTOWN PLAN UPDATE
DATE:
OCTOBER 1,2001
The Downtown plan update IS well undcrway The City has hlred Bellomo-Herbert to
prepare a strectscape, wayfmdmg and gateway plan, a master plan for Coachman Park and
deSigns for public spaces Bellomo-Herbert held Its first public meetmg to receive mput on this
project on August 14,2002 The Economic Development Department has prepared and
submitted to Pmellas County a City CommisSIon approved expanded Commumty
Redevelopment Area to mclude the Gateway area The Plannmg Department has plepared
studies and other research on current downtown lssues as well as imtml development of
downtown pO]lcles
The CommisslOn has mdicated a strong mterest m participatmg III the Downtown plan
update. To begm that discussiOn, the followmg major tenets about Downtown are presented
below I suggest that these elements be dlscussed by the CommissIOn for polIcy directiOn
Agreement on these tenets or as revised wIll then gUide the development of the Downtown Plan
I suggest four major tOpICS tor dIScussIon and mput by the CommissIOn The three subject areas
are outlIned below with suggested dates for special meetmgs by the C1ty CommiSSIOn
Major Downtown Components
October 14, 2002 (mcetmg set)
Streetscape! Gateways! Character Dlstncts
Week of Deccmber 2,2002
Land Use Plan! Waterfront and Open
Space Plan
Week of February 18 or 24, 2003
Redevelopment Projects
Week of March 17 or 24,2003
..
The followlOg assumptions are provIded for the CommisSIOn's dlscuSSiOn and policy
dlrectlOn
1. Downtown is Clearwater's center of activitv. business and l!overnment. As such,
Downtown wlll have hIgher denSIties for resIdcntwl uses and hIgher mtensltles for retatl!
commercial/offices uses than the rest of the CIty The hIgher densIties and mtenSltIes
wIll assist m creatmg a synergy for an mterestmg vital and urban envlronment The
highest denslty and mtenSIty of Downtown wIll be found m the Core area with decreasmg
denslty and mtenSIty movmg east through the balance of downtown
2. Cleveland Street is downtown's "Main Street" and IS valued both for ItS hlstonc
character/settmg and as the maJor retml street Redevelopment on Cleveland Street
should encourage renovatIOn of histonc properties. new constructIOn WIth frontage on
Cleveland Street shall be consIstent With the histonc bUlldmg streetscape In terms of
mass, scale and heIght Helghts greater than the hlstonc scale may be consIdered on
piopertles north and south of the Cleveland Street core or where greater heIghts today
eXist (typically at mtersectlOns of Cleveland WIth other downtown streets)
3. Ft. Harrison and Osceola Avenues should be re-developed as pedestnan onented streets
and In conJunctIOn With Cleveland Street shall form the major retaIl core of Downtown
The streetscape deSign for these three streets shall emphaslze their pnnclpal pedestnan
onentatlon
4. To facilitate the renewal of downtown. the Citv intends to contemplate uses other
than e:overnmental/ public uses on the existine: CItv Hall site. Pnnciples gUidmg the
relocation of the City Hall and the resultant new constructlOn are constructIOn of a
relocated CIty Hall In appropnate location at affordable cost, the degree that the proposed
pnvate development contnbutes to the goals of downtown renewal, the degree that the
proposed development contnbutes to and is Integrated WIth Coachman Park, the New
Mam LIbrary and the overall Waterfront area, and the dcgree to which the proposed uses
and deSign proVide for public access, pubhc views and pedestnan onentatlOn
5. Clearwater recol!nizes the uniqueness of its waterfront as the focal point for
Downtown. The Bluff with its commandinl! views of the water is a sie:niflcant
positive aspect of Clearwater's imal!e and sense of place; the views of and access to
the water shall be preserved.
a. Coachman Park is valued as open space, a commumty gathcnng place and a
location for cultural actIVItIes The Park and the eXlstmg amphltheater should be
improved to better serve as a regIOnal outdoor entertamment venue
b. Within the publlclv owned land. there IS a need for a more active waterfront
~ for all citizens to more frequcntly enJoy thiS :lmemty The followmg uses should be
evaluated as ways to InClease enJoyment of the waterfront area and to attract repeat VISlls
by reSIdents and tounst ahke

Restaurant on piers of old Memondl Bndge or other waterfront locatIOn
Carousel
Interacttve Fountam
RetaIl Uses-i e , strcet vendors, kIOSks, and/or permanent ret31 I bUlldmgs
c. On the privately owned land, preservation of the view of Clearwater Bav and
compatIbIlIty of new development with Coachman Park is criticallv important.
Development m thiS area should be designed to mamtam the ViCWS of the water through
methods such as View comdor::" pedestnan onentatlOn, connectIOns between bUlldmgs
and to the water, and places for pubhc mteractlOn and CIVIC actIVitIes New constructlOn
m thiS area should utIhze the bluff elevatlOn to achieve a tIered effect of height while
preservmg views wlthm the Downtown core
d. New Main Librarv is recogmzed as a cultural attractiOn, communIty gathenng
place, and anchor for the north end of the Downtown Core The library's gallenes, cafe,
meetmg spaces and waterfront terrace along WIth ItS cores serVices WIll make thiS facI lIty
a downtown destmauon for re::'ldents and visitors Improvements to Coachman Park
should be Integrated WIth the LIbrary and Its actiVItIes
6. Desil!n of new or renovated downtown buiJdinl!s lS expected to relate to the scale and
proportIOns of Its surroundmgs and create Interestmg and acllve publtc spaces
RenovatIOn of hIstone buIldmgs should respect the hlstonc features of the bUildIng For
new constructIOn, replIcatIOn of a hIstone bUIldmg IS not deSIred but the deSIgn should
have a relatIOnship to the eXistmg Downtown m character, form, scale, mass and
matenals New constructIOn should welcome people mto downtown through both "front
doors"-the street Side and the water Side Urban and architectural deSign IS equally
Important for both elevations
7. Automobile oriented uses such as gas statIons, convemence stores and dnve through
faclhtles mcludmg banks and fast food restaurants shall be prohibited wIthm the
Downtown Core, mcludmg the Court/Chestnut comdors Thcse automobile onented uses

Include the HlghlJ.nd! Court/Cleveland IntersectIOn, DruId! Ft Hanlson mtersectlOn,

8. The visual and performin1! arts are a vital part of Downtown Artists should be
encouraged to hve and work downtown Art gallenes and perfonmng spaces are also
encouraged downtown The development of publIc art poliCies should enhance and add
to the overall quahty of downtown Public art mstallations should be mtegrated mto the
gateways and streetscapes of Downtown, III public plazas and In other pubhc
places/bUlldmgs

Traditional Color Coding for Land Uses
by
SanJay Jeer, AICP with Barry Bain, AICP
American Plannmg Association
December 13, 1997
DRAFT
Land-use maps are the most common way of presennng land-based data They show land-
u~es by rendenng them 10 different colors They effectively Illustrate land-use concepts by
graphICally dtsplaYlng land-uses, roads, publtc mfrastructure, and commulllty faClltnes
Plannmg agenCIes have been USlOg one color scheme SlOce the 1950's that has become a
defacto standard This standard IS also belOg frequently recommended to planners across
the country The followmg IS a survey of thiS and other tradtnonal colonng schemes
Maps generally use a dtfferent color for each of the major land-use categones For example,
It IS common to render
. Yellows for residential use~ such as smgle-farmly and town houses
. Browns for muln-farmly and high-me resldenual
. Reds for rewl and commerCIal uses
. Purples for lOdustnal uses
. Blues for msututlonal and publtc faClltues
. Greens for recreanonal uses
. Grays for mdustnal utthbes
The above pomary and secondary colors gener-ally ~erve baSIC land-use maps that do not
have complex land-use categooes \\!hen they do, It IS common to find addluonal colors 10
shades closer to secondary and temary colors Beyond thiS tradttlonal color scheme, ~ystems
vary Widely on how many colors to show on a map and which colors denote what land uses
Because some colors are close to others and easily dtscerl1lble, elaborate codlOg schemes also
specify the appropnate Pnsma color number (pnsma Color IS the tmde name and
manufacturer of popular color pencils) On black and white maps, colors replace
monochrome patterns of varymg crosshatched ltnes We have located several such colonng
and hatchlOg schemes 10 standard plannmg textbooks, plans, guides, etc , 10 the AP A's
research ltbrary The followmg IS a summary of these schemes
Color Coding Schemes
The color codtng schemes from the followmg sources were surveyed
. Plannmg Deszgn en/ena 1969 De Chiara T1m book ha~ a coloong scheme for
land-use categooes, which IS ltsted 10 table1
htlp //www plaIU1lIlg- org/plngmfo/lbc~/mdex html
. A Proposal for a S tandardtifd Land Use ClasS/ficatton Project 1958 Amencan Instltute
of Planners, North Carolma SectiOn of the Southeast Chapter Land Use
Classlficanon Conuruttee This IS of the earhest examples of a complete color
codmg scheme that many other schemes copied later This IS also the standard
taught tn planmng schools
. Land-use Classificatton Manual 1965 Inter-county RegiOnal Planmng Corru111SSlOn
Denver, Cola This IS an adchnonal example of a color codmg scheme from the
Denver, Colorado metropolttan area which IS slnular to the North Carohna
example, but With some Important vanatlons
. Gmdelmesfor Prepanng Urban Plans 1995 Anderson, Ll.fZ T Planners Press
Chicago, III Cont"alOS concise guldellOes for colonng and presentlOg data on
maps It also has standard do's and don'ts for graphical representation
In addlbon to the above sources, we also examlOed land-use maps of the followlOg
lunsdtCtlOns (randomly chosen from the APA Research LIbrary) for examples of corrunon
and uncommon colors
. Aurora, Colorado
. SIOUX City, Iowa
. Barnstable County, Massachusetts
. City of WlOter Park, Flonda
The survey generally shows the traditional color COdlOg conventIOns for each standard land-
use category However, there are some differences when maps utthze categones that do not
fit the SIX commonly used land use categones
Resldenttalland uses are fatrly conSistent In USlOg shades of yellows and browns for higher
denstbes, mulb-farrnly developments, and high fise reSidential areas Mobile homes tend to
be 10 colors different from yellows or browns For example, purple IS the recorrunended
color 10 the De Chtara scheme, lavender 10 Denver's Land-Usc Cla~~lficatton Manual Color
Scheme), and other colors as well
Corrunerclal use~ are generally colored 10 shades of orange to red The denser the
corrunerctal, the reddcr the color Some maps use pmk for tounst commcrclal areas as well
Mixed uses are deSIgnated a range of colors tn the purple or gray shades For example
. Purple Shades
. Commercial and rCSldentlal nuxed use areas (e g, Aurora and Denver)
. Resldentlal WIth hmlted office and neighborhood commercial (e g, SIOUX Ctty)
· Industnal With hmtted office and retad (e g, SIOUX City)
. Gray Shades
. Office and hght lOdustry ffilXed used areas (e g, Aurora)
. Orange & Red Shades

.
Central Business Districts (e.g., Winter Park, Sioux City)
Industrial uses in most cases are rendered in grays or shades of purple. The heavier the
industry, the darker the gray. Sometimes blues may also be used (Denver and North
Carolina).
Institutional uses are mostly blue, but for some types of institutional uses, such as schools
and health care facilities, we found greens and grays as well.
Open space areas are typically green or left uncolored. Greens may also represent forested
areas and Indian reservations; when more than one open space category is used, we also
found dark greens for agricultural uses, and light greens for recreational uses.
Public and governmental lands, such as military installations, are commonly colored in light
shades like pink, or left bank.
For transportation facilities and public utilities, black is the preferred color. Different types
of facilities may be colored with different shades of gray when grays are not used for other
designations. For environmental categories such as wetlands, resource protection areas, and
steep slopes, deeper shades of greens and blues are frequently used.
Black and White Coding Schemes
In addition to coloring land-uses, maps also use monochrome colors or black and white
patterns to differentiate land-use categories. The hatched patterns traditionally indicate
denser land uses with heavier patterns while open space or recreational areas are left blank or
lightly patterned. Below is a description of some land-uses and the black and white patterns
associated with them.
Land-use Common Hatching Patterns
Commercial
Cross hatches with darker patterns for
higher densities
Slanted lines, darker patterns for higher
intensities
Points, diamonds, stars, etc.
Vertical lines
Stipple patterns
Curved lines
Residential
Industrial, Transportation, and Utilities
Public uses
Parks and Recreation
Agricultural
Some standards also specify the hatched pattern by giving Zip-a-Tone or BIu-zip numbers,
which refer to the sheets of sticky-back papers with transparent hatching on them. See table
2, Hatched Pattern Schemes, for examples of such specificationsed.
Color Coding and Computers
Over the years AP A's inquiry answering service has fielded questions about coloring maps
produced in graphics, CAD, and GIS computer programs. Although there are no specific
ht1p: / / www.plalUllng.org/plnginfo/lbcs/index.html
3
standards, we found several land-use and land cover maps using one particular scheme
inconsistent with anything planners traditionally produce.
After looking at this standard, the best explanation we have now is that a GIS software
program called Arc/Info, included a sample template that used this scheme. The software
also showed a sample land-use map based on this template. The colors used here closely
matches this frequently found inconsistent scheme. We suspect that non-planners working
on GIS might have used this template to assign colors to land uses that has been perpetuated
by others. But soon, with cooperation of major GIS vendors and the LBeS study, we hope
to provide standard planning color convention schemes so that they may include them as
templates.
Unlike color pencils, personal computers can render up to 16 million distinct colors at a time
even though the human eye can disinguish only a fraction of these. Most standard personal
computers can render 256 to 65,536 colors at a time- providing plenty of color options
even for the most demanding maps. Moreover, computers can easily hatch patterns in
colors to give even more options. We intend to develop a guideline for templates with
colors and hatched patterns after standardizing land-based categories so that popular
software vendors can incorporate them as standard templates.
Summary of Frequendy Used Colors
Though colors may vary widely, the most frequently used colors for common land-use
categories are:
Land-use Standard Color
Residential
Single-Family Residential
Duplex
Multi-family
Commercial
Commercial Light Density
Office and Commercial Uses
Mixed Uses
Institutional Uses
Open Space
Transportation
