(5) Review of Plans and Plan Amendments for Discouraaina the Proliferation of Urban
Sprawl.
I
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to aive auidance to local aovemments and
other interested parties about how to make sure that plans and plan amendments are
consistent with relevant provisions of the state comprehensive plan. reaional policv
plans. Chapter 163. Part II. F.S.. and the remainder of this chapter reaardina
discouraaina urban sprawl. includina provisions concemina the efficiency of land use.
the efficient provision of public facilities and services. the separation of urban and rural
land uses. and the protection of aariculture and natural resources.
(b) Determination. The determination of whether a plan or plan amendment discouraaes
the proliferation of urban sprawl shall be based upon the standards contained in this
subsection.
(c) In aeneral. The discouraaement of urban sprawl accomplishes many related plannina
obiectives. The purpose of this subsection is to provide a aeneral methodoloay for
examinina whether or not a plan or plan amendment discouraaes the proliferation of
urban sprawl. This subsection is oraanized into twelve paraaraphs. Paraaraphs (5)(a)
throuah (5)(1), Nothina in this paraaraph (5) shall be interpreted to reauire that a local
aovemment submit information beyond the information reauired by other provisions of
this chapter.
(d) Use of indicators. Paraaraph (5)(a) describes those aspects or attributes of a plan or
plan amendment which. when present. indicate that the plan or plan amendment may
fail to discouraae urban sprawl. For purposes of reviewina the plan for discouraaement
of urban sprawl. an eyaluation shall be made whether any of these indicators is present
in a plan or plan amendment. If an indicator is present. the extent. amount or freauency
of that indicator shall be considered. The presence and potential effects of multiple
indicators shall be considered to determine whether they collectively reflect a failure to
discouraae urban sprawl.
(e) Methodoloay. For determinina indicators. Paraaraphs (5)(h) throuah (5) (I) describe the
three maior components of a methodoloay to determine the presence of urban sprawl
indicators. Paraaraph (5)(h) describes how land use aspects of a plan shall be
analvzed. The land use element. includina both the future land use map and
associated obiectives and policies. represents the focal point of the local aovemment's
plannina effort. Paraaraph (5)(i) describes the uniaue features and characteristics of
each iurisdiction which provide the context of the analysis and which are needed to
evaluate the extent. amount or freauency of an indicator and the sianificance of an
indicator for a specific iurisdiction. Paraaraph (5)(i) recoanizes that land use plans
aenerally may be sianificantly affected by other development policies in a plan which
may serve to mitiaate the presence of urban sprawl indicators based on the land use
plan alone. Paraaraph (5) (i) describes development controls which may be used by a
local aovernment to mitiaate the presence of sprawl.
(f) Analysis components. Subsection (5)(k) describes how the analysis components
described in Subsections (5)(h) throuah (5)(i) are combined in a systematic way to
determine the presence of urban sprawl indicators.
(g) Primary indicators. The primary indicators that a plan or plan amendment does not
discouraae the proliferation of urban sprawl are listed below. The evaluation of the
presence of these indicators shall consist of an analysis of the plan or plan amendment
within the context of features and characteristic unique to each locality in order to
determine where the plan or plan amendment:
1. Promotes. allows or desianates for development substantial areas of the iurisdiction to
develop as low-intensity. low-density. or sinale-use development or uses in excess of
demonstrated need.
2. Promotes. allows or desianates sianificant amounts of urban development to occur in
rural areas at substantial distances from existina urban areas while leapina over
undeveloped lands which are available and suitable for development.
3. Promotes. allows or desianates urban development in radial. strip. isolated or ribbon
patterns aenerally emanatina from existina urban developments.
4. As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses. fails
adequately to protect and conserve natural resources. such as wetlands. floodplains.
native veaetation. environmentally sensitive areas. natural aroundwater aquifer
recharae areas. lakes. rivers. shorelines. beaches. bays. estuarine systems. and other
sianificant natural systems.
5. Fails adequately to protect adiacent aaricultural areas and activities. includina
silviculture. and includina active aaricultural and silvicultural activities as well as passive
aaricultural activities and dormant. unique and prime farmlands and soils.
6. Fails to maximize use of existina public facilities and services.
7. Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services.
8. Allows for land use patterns or timina which disproportionately increase the cost in time.
money and eneray. of providina and maintainina facilities and services. includina roads.
potable water. sanitary sewer. stormwater manaaement. law enforcement. education.
health care. fire and emeraency response. and aeneral aovernment.
9. Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses.
10. Discouraaes or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existina
redevelopment of existina neiahborhoods and communities.
11. Fails to encouraae an attractive and functional mix of uses.
12. Results in poor accessibilitv amona linked or related land uses.
13. Results in the loss of sianificant amounts of functional open space.
(h) Evaluation of land uses. The comprehensive plan must be reviewed in its entirety to
make the determinations in (5) above. Plan amendments must be reviewed individuallv
and for their impact on the remainder of the plan. However. in either case. a land use
analvsis will be the focus of the review and constitute the primary factor for makina the
determinations. Land use tvpes cumulativelv (within the entire iurisdiction. and in
proximate be evaluated based on densitv. intensitv. distribution and functional
relationship. includina an analvsis of the distribution of urban and rural land uses. Each
land use tvpe will be evaluated based on:
1. Extent.
2. Location.
3. Distribution.
4. Densitv.
5. Intensitv.
6. Compatibilitv.
7. Suitabilitv.
8. Functional relationship.
9. Land use combinations.

(i) Local conditions. Each of the land use factors in (5) (h) above will be evaluated within
the context of features and characteristics unique to each localitv. These include:
1. Size of developable area.
2. Proiected arowth rate (includina population. commerce. industry. and aariculture).
3. Proiected arowth amounts (acres per land use cateaorv).
4. Facilitv availabilitv (existina and committed).
5. Existina pattern of development (built and vested), includina an analvsis of the extent to
which the existina pattern of development reflects urban sprawl.

densitv or intensitv of urban development throuahout the iurisdiction.
7. Costs of facilities and services, such as per capita cost over the plannina period in
terms of resources and enerav.
8. Extra-jurisdictional and reaional arowth characteristics.
9. Transportation networks and use characteristics (existina and committed).
10. Geoaraphv. topoaraphv and various natural features of the iurisdiction.
0) Development controls. Development controls in the comprehensive plan may affect the
determinations in (S)(a) above. The followina development controls. to the extent they
are included in the comprehensive plan. will be evaluated to determine how they
discouraae urban sprawl:
1. Open space requirements.
2. Development clusterina requirements.
3. Other plannina strateaies. includina the establishment of minimum development density
and intensity. affectina the pattern and character of development.
4. Phasina of urban land use types. densities. intensities. extent. locations. and distribution
over time. as measured throuah the permitted chanaes in land use cateaorv in the plan.
and the timina and location of those chanaes.
5. Land use locational criteria related to the existina development pattern. natural
resources and facilities and services.
6. Infrastructure extension controls. and infrastructure maximization requirements and
incentives.
7. Allocation of the costs of future development based on the benefits received.
8. The extent to which new development pays for itself.
9. Transfer of development riahts.
10. Purchase of development riahts.
11. Planned unit development requirements.
12. Traditional neiahborhood developments.
13. Land use functional relationship linkaaes and mixed land uses.
14. Jobs-to-housina balance requirements.
15. Policies specifyina the circumstances under which future amendments could desianate
new lands for the urbanizina area.

21. Urban arowth boundaries.
22. Access manaaement controls.
(k) Evaluation of factors. Each of the land use types and land use combinations analyzed
in Paraaraph (S)(h) above will be evaluated within the context of the features and
(I) characteristics of the locality, individually and toaether (as appropriate). as listed in
Paraaraph (S)(i). If a local aovernment has in place a comprehensive plan found in
compliance. the Department shall not find a plan amendment to be not in compliance on
the issue of discouraaina urban sprawl solely because of preexistina indicators if the
amendment does not exacerbate existino indicators of urban sprawl within the
iurisdiction.
(m) Innovative and flexible plannino and development strateqies. Notwithstandino and as a
means of addressino any provisions contained in rules 9J-5.006 (3)(b)8.. 9J-
5.011(2)(b)3.. 9J-5.003(14m and this subsection. the Department encouraoes
innovative and flexible plannino and development strateoies and creative land use
plannino techniques in local plans. Plannino strateoies and techniques such as urban
villaoes. new towns. satellite communities. area-based allocations. clusterino and open
space provisions. Mixed-use development and sector plannino that allow the conversion
of rural and aoricultural lands to other uses while protectino environmentally sensitive
areas. maintainino the economic viability of aoricultural and other predominantly rural
land uses. and providino for the cost-efficient delivery of public facilities and services.
will be recoonized as methods of discouraoino urban sprawl and will be determined
consistent with the provisions of the state comprehensive plan. reoional policy plans.

CONSERVATION ELEMENT
Evaluation and Appraisal Report
\
Prepared by:
City of Clearwater
Central Permitting Department
June 1996
~.
The majority of the pme flatwood ecosystems in Clearwater are located on
Myakka-Immokalee-Pomello soil associations. The Soil Survey of Pinellas County describes this
association as follows: nearly level and gently sloping, poorly drained and moderately well drained
sandy soils that have layers weakly cemented with organic matter at depths of forty (40) inches or
less. This association is characterized by broad flats between sloughs, low ridges and knolls, and
many small, shallow, grassed ponds. Although much of this soil association is considered poorly
drained, these areas are not considered as wetlands except in the small areas noted. The water table
is normally high in the flatwoods in comparison to the sandhills. What water does remain on the
surface in some areas stays only temporarily. Often some of the over-burden soils are underlain by
hardpan soils (compacted clay soils) which allow little direct aquifer recharge. Still most of the
flatwoods allow a considerable amount of aquifer recharge, though not nearly as rapidly as the
sandhills.
The dominant overstory vegetation of this ecosystem consists of longleaf and South Florida
slash pine. The longleaf pine tends to dominate on the more well-drained soils while the slash pine
prefers more moist soils. Sub-dominant overstory species in the drier soils include: live oak, water
oak, hickories, black cherry, Carolina cherry, laurel, cabbage palm, and occasionally sweetbay, red
maple, blackgum, redbay, and loblolly bay. All of the sub-dominant species also compose the
mid story of the flatwoods along with other smaller tree species, such as redbay, wax myrtle, and
dahoon holly.
39
The dominant understory or groundcover species of this ecosystem is the saw palmetto.
Ferns generally become the dominant understory or groundcover on the more moist and shaded
soils. Understory species include gallberry, sumac, saltbush, elderberry, and others that are more
commonly found in other ecosystems. Common groundcover species, other than those previously
mentioned include: Virginia creeper, poison ivy, wild grape, lantana, and several grasses later
identified in the grassland ecosystems.
Some native tree species more common to northern Pinellas County which are found
scattered in the northern part of the Clearwater service area include sweetgum, Southern magnolia,
Florida elm, and Carolina ash, the latter being more commonly associated with floodplains.
Several species of exotic vegetation have also become commonplace in the flatwoods as well as
several other ecosystems in the Clearwater service area. Of serious concern to natural ecological
systems are the punk or cajeput tree and the Brazilian pepper tree, often misnamed Florida holly.
These species are highly competitive with native species. There are few natural checks on their
reproductive habits other than occasional cold winters. Other less troublesome species are the
guava, Chinaberry, and three species of Australian pine.
The flatwoods are the most widespread of all remaining ecosystems in Pinellas County. An
estimated 325 acres extend throughout the entire Clearwater area between the creeks and ridges and
occasionally infringe on coastal areas.
40
A
The flatwoods contain considerably better wildlife habitat than the sandhills, though not as
much as wetland communities. The nature of having wet areas interspersed among the forest cover
provides a considerable amount of "edge effect." Many higher animals utilize these ecotone areas
for feeding while utilizing the forests for protection. The distribution of vegetation cover along with
the degree of tolerance of manls activities usually determines the existence and numbers of wildlife
species in the flatwoods. Other mammals, reptiles, rodents, amphibians, and invertebrates are
commonplace in the flatwoods as well as songbirds and birds of prey. Waterfowl are occasionally
seen in the wetter areas.
High intensity urban development is not suitable in the flatwoods. Proper runoff control and
other land resource management practices will allow the development of these areas into low
intensity uses without severe environmental damage. Low density subdivisions, medium-density
clustered housing, and recreation facilities are types of development that are compatible with the
natural features of these ecosystems.
Upland Hardwood Forest
The dominant overstory specIes in these ecosystems are the same species that were
sub-dominant overstory species in the pine flatwoods -- primarily live oak, water oak, and laurel
oak. The other sub-dominant and mid story species of the pine flatwoods usually remain in the
41
midstory of the upland hardwood forest ecosystems. Longleaf and slash pines are scattered or
clumped sub-dominant species. In essence then, the niches of the dominant overstory species have
been reversed.
The understory and groundcover species are essentially the same as the flatwoods, but the
crown densities affect their distribution, more so than soil moisture. Palmetto is much more
scattered and usually occurs only where there are openings in the crown. Ferns and vines thus
become the dominant understory vegetation. The groundcover species, likewise, are comparable to
those of the flatwoods.
The upland hardwood forests provide the best wildlife habitat of all the upland ecosystems
in the service area. All of the positive aspects mentioned for the pine flatwoods occur in the
hardwoods plus the additional acorn production. Plenty of cover is available and sufficient food can
be found to support moderate populations of most of the species of animals remaining in the service
area that are not related directly to a wetland ecosystem. Unlike the pine flatwoods, the upland
hardwoods do not need the repetitive wild or controlled bums to keep available food regenerating
for wildlife.
The hardwood forests are naturally very attractive to land developers. Still the storm runoff
problems described in the pine flatwoods also apply to these ecosystems. Therefore high intensity
urban use should still be prohibited, although properly designed low intensity uses can prevail
without significant environmental damage provided innovative and thoughtful engineering practices
42
are undertaken. Approximately 295 total acres of this ecosystem are estimated to remain in the city
and surrounding enclaves area at this time.
Grasslands
These ecosystems are essentially not natural as few, if any, truly natural prairies ever
existed in Clearwater. Still a significant amount of acreage exists to warrant discussion, since they
can be considered semi-natural and do provide open space and wildlife habitat.
Grasslands occur on all the major upland soils in Pinellas County. Unless under cultivation,
all wetland soil grasslands are considered to be freshwater marshes. Runoff and recharge
considerations are related directly to the individual soils except for the fact that the lack of overstory
vegetation modifies the rates of both. Without overstory crowns and shrubs to intercept rainfall
before it strikes the ground, the infiltration rates of soils are lessened and runoff is increased.
Furthermore, if the grasses are very sparse or lacking in some areas, then soil erosion occur from
heavy rainfall on even the most moderate slopes. The lack of overstory also increases evaporation
to a considerable degree.
Grasslands occur at all elevations in the Clearwater service area and their definition is
independent of topographic features. These ecosystems are also equally distributed in the service
area, though most of the remaining areas are in the less-developed northeast section. An estimated
43
441 acres of grasslands remain in the service area at this time.
Monocultures
A monoculture is not a naturally occurring ecosystem. It is defined as an area that is
predominately maintained in only one vegetative species by man. Still, as nature is dynamic, other
species will try to invade these areas, and succeed until management practices exclude them in
favor of the preferred cover. Agricultural crops, citrus groves, pecan orchards, flower nurseries,
and even improved pastures to an extent are considered as monocultures.
Monocultures occur on all soils depending on the vegetation which is being managed.
Many of these areas do provide wildlife habitat, such as citrus groves, pecan orchards and
improved pastures. Approximately 295 acres of monocultures remain in the Clearwater service
area, mostly being in citrus production. Urban development limitations in these areas are primarily
dependent upon the underlying soils. Citrus groves, in particular, are excellent areas or urban
development, as previously noted.
Old Fields
These ecosystems are essentially monocultures that have been allowed to return to nature.
Old fields are generally considered as primary and secondary ecological succession communities.
Abandoned citrus groves, field crops, and pastures quickly become old fields and remain so until
44
they have progressed ecologically into one of the other ecosystems defined. Essentially the same
grass species identified for the grassland ecosystems, shrubs, and young trees of many different
species have invaded these areas and begun to thrive assuming the soil conditions are suitable for
those particular species. On the deep sandy soils, scrub oaks are usually the first tree species to
begin domination. On the flatwoods soils, fire will usually determine whether or not pines or
hardwoods will dominate.
These are very high energy ecosystems that have plenty of available sunlight. Often residual
fertilizers from the previous agricultural practices add to the rapid growth of these areas. Available
soil moisture is the prime limiting factor to this rapid succession. Old fields generally provide
excellent wildlife habitat, especially for game species such as deer, quail, and mourning dove.
Usually there is both plentiful food and cover for most of the upland wildlife species that occur in
the Clearwater service area. These ecosystems are distributed throughout the entire County,
occurring in and around many urbanized areas as well as the more rural sections.

CLEARW A TER WETLANDS - INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS
Interior Wetland Ecosystems
Five discernible ecosystems characterize those non-coastal areas of the natural
environment in Clearwater which are inundated with fresh water either permanently or
s~asonally. The soils of these ecosystems are normally highly organic and act much like a
sponge with regard to water retention. These areas receive the excess runoff waters from
natural streams or artificial drainage systems. The water balance is maintained by a loss of
water through evaporation, assimilation and transpiration by vegetation, and slow
percolation towards the Floridan Aquifer.
The Clearwater Environmental Management Group has assessed and prioritized the
. wetland groups within the City. The priorities are based mainly on the benefits to the
receiving waters (Tampa Bay and Clearwater Harbor), with Tampa Bay having a slightly
higher priority as it is a as SWIM water body. The list is as follows in order of priority:
1) Cooper's Bayou
2) Tampa Bay Shoreline
3) Alligator Creek floodplain east of Belcher Road
4) Allen's Creek floodplain east of Belcher Road
5) Clearwater Harbor shoreline, including Memorial Causeway
6) Clearwater Beach north end
7) Stevenson's Creek floodplain north of Drew Street
8) Alligator Creek floodplain and tributaries west of Belcher Road.
9) Allen's Creek floodplain and tributaries west of Belcher Road
10) Mullet Creek floodplain
11) Bishop Creek floodplain
12) Possum Branch floodplain
13) Stevenson's Creek floodplain and tributaries south of Drew Street
14) Curlew Creek floodplain and tributaries
15) Isolated wetlands in Alligator, Allen's, Mullet, and Bishop creeks and possum Branch
basins
16) Isolated wetlands in Stevenson's and Curlew creek basins
The amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan will address the importance of these
systems and will include all pertinent changes in Florida Law and to 9J-5 Florida
Administrative Code.
FUTURE LAND USE - EV ALUA nON AND APPRAISAL REPORT SUMMARY
Since the adoption of Clearwater's existing plan in November 1989, the future land use
plan map has been changed citywide to comply with the specially enacted Pinellas County
Planning Council's (PCPC) efforts in making all land use plan classifications consistent
throughout Pinellas County. This has been an onerous undertaking and has taken several
years to complete. Although the consistency process This undertaking is designed to
promote orderly development and management practices on a countywide basis.
The goals, objectives and policies of the City's Future Land Use Plan Element will be
substantially amended to recognize all of the changes in The Future Land Use Element
will be amended to include an objective stating the City will encourage the elimination or
reduction of uses that are inconsistent with any interagency hazard mitigation report
recommendations that the City determines to be appropriate for the purposes of hazard
mitigation.
The City of Clearwater will include the known areas of the City to be included in the
Historic Overlay District. This will allow the City's Historic preservation enabling
ordinance to become effective and therefore assist in delaying the demolition of historic
structures and assist in the creation of historic districts.

CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - EV ALUA nON AND
APPRAISAL REPORT SUMMARY
The City of Clearwater adopted a concurrency management system ordinance (CMS) in
1991. Essentially, the ordinance meets the intent of the law meaning that all infrastructure
must be available and have adequate capacity to serve new development and
redevelopment.
The City's CMS measures six levels of service:
. Transportation
. Potable Water
. Sanitary Sewer
. Solid Waste
. Drainage
. Recreation/Open Space
At the time of adoption the intent of the CMS ensure adequate capacity existed in the six
categories listed above prior to issuance of a development order. The City's Concurrency
Management System was incorporated into a Land Development Regulation to measure
the adequacy and capacities of the infrastructure which to be in place and have adequate
capacity for all new development and redevelopment projects in the City. In addition,
traffic levels of service were established in coordination with the FDOT to meet the
adopted levels of service as adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. The primary impetus of
the Growth Management Law of 1985 and 1986 as amended was to stop urban sprawl,
concurrency management is not warranted in Pinellas County. Although concurrency
management of traffic levels of service is an idyllic notion, however, Clearwater is a highly
urban and suburban city with more than 3,000 persons per square mile that is built-out and
experiencing redevelopment. Further Clearwater's economic prospects are many times in
jeopardy because concurrency constraints. Clearwater does however, administer a
concurrency review on all new development that generates 140 trips or greater a case by
case basis, thus being consistent with the State Plan.
The CMS will be updated in the amendment process to address the changes to Rule 9J-5,
Florida Administrative Code in a quantitative manner. New goals, objectives and policies
will be applied to create implementable standards. The new CMS Rule requires the crn
to set forth s financially feasible plan which demonstrates that the adopted LOS standards
will be achieved and maintained. The Level of Service standards will be updated and
included in the Plan.
Attached is a Table showing all of the 80 links of arterials and collector roads within the
jurisdiction of the City. The Table indicates an overall stable trip generation rate
throughout the City network., with no dramatic changes occurring on any road links with
the exception of the roads used alternately while other roads are under construction.

Coastal High Hazard Areas - Evaluation and Appraisal Report
Summary
Coastal High Hazard Areas - Definitions
(19) Coastal high hazard areas (also "high hazard coastal areas") means the
evacuation zone for a category 1 hurricane as established in the regional
hurricane evacuation study applicable to the local government.
(20) "Coastal planning area" means that when preparing and implementing all
requirements of the coastal management element except those
requirements relating to hurricane evacuation, hazard mitigation, water
quality, water quantity, esturarine pollution, or estuarine environmental
quality, the coastal planning area shall be an area of the local
government's jurisdiction: water and submerged lands of oceanic water
bodies or estuarine pollution, or esturarine environmental quality, the
coastal planning area shall be an area of the local government's choosing;
however, this area must encompass all of the following where they occur
within the local government's jurisdiction: water and submerged lands of
oceanic waters or estuarine shorelines; and all lands adjacent to such
occurrences where development activities would impact the integrity or
quality of the above. When preparing and implementing the hurricane
evacuation or coastal planning area, those areas shall be those portions of
the local government's jurisdiction which lie in the hurricane vulnerability
zone. When preparing and implementing the requirements of the coastal
management element concerning water quality, water quantity, estuarine
pollution, or esturaine environmental quality, the coastal planning area
shall be all occurrences within the local government's jurisdiction of
oceanic waters or esturarine waters.
SUMMARY
The Coastal High Hazard Areas for a hurricane Category I event is mapped
on the Conservation Element Map located on page 9 A. These are areas that
must evacuate in the event of notice to evacuate for a Category 1 hurricane
event. The coastal areas include Clearwater Beach, Sand Key, and Island
Estates. State Road 60, otheIWise known as Memorial Bridge Causeway is a
critical area, because it is the closest east/west arterial road leading away
from the barrier islands to the mainland. Also, the bridge is a bascule bridge
that would need to be left in the down position leaving water vessels in
distress if trying to pass; the evacuation policy states that the Memorial
Bridge would remain down and will not be opened for distressed water craft.
As recommended in the EAR, a new 74ft. high, fixed span bridge is
recommended to replace the existing Memorial Causeway Bascule Bridge.
Both the Clearwater City Commission and the Pinellas County Board of
County Commissioners have adopted a Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan
containing criteria for acquisition of damaged land and property. Plan
amendments will be submitted to reflect this new requirement.
An economic base study was prepared and submitted with the Coastal Zone
Management Element of the adopted plan. However, an update of this
information should be conducted and included in the EAR document. Once
the study is prepared and updated, the results will be included into the data
and analysis of the Comprehensive Plan.
Recognizing changes to Chapter 163, F.S., and Rules 9J-5 F.A.C., since plan
adoption require Clearwater to apply the term "Coastal Area" as it appears
within the Coastal Management Element, and to add the new definition and
its planning implications. The definition of the coastal zone as it appears in
the Coastal Management Element of the adopted Plan shall be changed to be
consistent with Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., the term coastal Planning area as defined in
Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. shall be added to the Plan as well.
The definition of Coastal High Hazard Area (ClllIA) has been changed to
include the evacuation zone for a Category 1 hurricane as established in the
regional hurricane evacuation study applicable to the local government.
Therefore, the policies in the Coastal Zone Management Element of the
Comprehensive Plan shall be amended to redefine the coastal high hazard
area consistent with the Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. All goals objectives and policies
will be refined and adjusted to address this change in the Rule.
The City of Clearwater's Basic Emergency Plan include an inventory of all
shelters available in the event of a major storm. The Plan also includes a
comprehensive post-disaster guide. This information is carefully coordinated
with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council's Hurricane Evacuation and
Shelter location/Populations needs assessment, FEMA, the State Division of
Emergency Management (DEM). The post disaster management guide
2
includes a four phases of comprehensive emergency management including
mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
The City of Clearwater in cooperation and in conjunction with the Pinellas
County Government and the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council have
prepared documents which clearly delineate all areas requiring mandatory
evacuation areas and evacuation routes in the event of a hurricane. Pinellas
County Government has prepared a comprehensive booklet named "All
Hazards Guide" which explains in detail the safety measures and awareness
skills necessary for public safety.
The Coastal Management Element will be amended to be consistent with the
new requirements of Rule 9J-5, F.A.C. regarding the incorporation of
recommendations from the interagency hazard mitigation reports into the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Coastal Management Element will be amended to be consistent with the
new requirements of 9J-5, F.A.C., to include a post-disaster redevelopment
policy addressing the removal, location, or structural modification of damaged
infrastructure as determined appropriate by local governments and consistent
with federal funding provisions.
Clearwater is currently involved in identifying the infrastructure in the Coastal
High hazard Area. They are utilizing the new definition of the CHHA as the
impetus of this task. The results will be included as amendments to the forth
coming amendments.

Intergovernmental Coordination Element - Evaluation and Appraisal Report Summary
Intergovernmental coordination is an essential component in success of the local government
planning process. Clearwater's comprehensive plan recognizes the importance of identifying
those agencies involved in the coordination of city planning projects, and the responsibilities of
those agencies needed to assist and participate in the functions of new development and
redevelopment activities in the City,
Since the time of plan adoption, several agencies have undergone consolidation, requiring that the
appropriate changes be made in the individual plan elements, including Intergovernmental
Coordination, to reflect the new organizational titles, such as the consolidation of the Florida
Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) to the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Clearwater intends to update these cases of agency consolidation and name changes in its
amendment submittal. Clearwater is strategically involved in many levels of governmental
coordination; the federal, state, regional and local government agencies in association with the
peripheral departments such as the DEP, the SWFWMD, and FOOT in its daily activities.
As a result of the changes to the 9J-5 Rules, Clearwater intends to amend the Intergovernmental
Government Element to establish procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas,
especially those areas of the city that are to be annexed, to share the existing and proposed
infrastructure of Clearwater. This amendment will be included in the amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Probably one of the most critical concerns of the City is shared with Pinellas County with regard
to the future supply of potable water supplies. The City's amendments will include portions of
the integrated Potable Water Plan devised by the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
New goals, objectives and policies will be submitted as amendments to address any changes the
city proposes to change. New sources of potable water supplies is critical to the continued level
of service the City now enjoys. Clearwater has spent $55 million in upgrading its wastewater
facilities to discharge advanced wastewater treatment, or tertiary treatment, but has failed to
implement citywide reclaimed water availability. The city has been lax in using the advanced
wastewater treatment technology to further conserve potable water supplies by using reclaimed
water for irrigation city wide which would serve a number of critical problems including potable
water conservation, recharging the surficial aquifer by using the reclaimed water more extensively
for irrigation purposes. The City is far behind in initiating water resource conservation measures
beyond those established by the SWFWMD and suggested by the Comprehensive Conservation
and Management Plan. Although much of Clearwater is urban and suburban, and impervious,
protection of aquifer recharge areas need to further be protected to continue the important to the
hydrologic cycle which is an important element of the desired balance of groundwater supply and
groundwater withdrawal for human consumption.
Continued efforts by the County City are necessary to fully implement the objectives of the Tampa
Bay National Estuary Program. Clearwater depends on the entire Tampa Bay Region in order to
effectively implement the TBNEP. A regional approach will show clear evidence in a far shorter
amount of time with even adherence to the objectives as set forth in the TBNEP.
In summary, the Intergovernmental Coordination Element should be reviewed for upddates in
Florida Law and Florida Administrative Code, and refined to better meet the challenges of the
future.

Intergovernmental Coordination Element - Evaluation and Appraisal Report Summary
Intergovernmental coordination is an essential component in success of the local government
planning process. Clearwater's comprehensive plan recognizes the importance of identifying
those agencies involved in the coordination of city planning projects, and the responsibilities of
those agencies needed to assist and participate in the functions of new development and
redevelopment activities in the City,
Since the time of plan adoption, several agencies have undergone consolidation, requiring that the
appropriate changes be made in the individual plan elements, including Intergovernmental
Coordination, to reflect the new organizational titles, such as the consolidation of the Florida
Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) to the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Clearwater intends to update these cases of agency consolidation and name changes in its
amendment submittal. Clearwater is strategically involved in many levels of governmental
coordination; the federal, state, regional and local government agencies in association with the
peripheral departments such as the DEP, the SWFWMD, and FDOT in its daily activities.
As a result of the changes to the 9J-5 Rules, Clearwater intends to amend the Intergovernmental
Government Element to establish procedures to identify and implement joint planning areas,
especially those areas of the city that are to be annexed, to share the existing and proposed
infrastructure of Clearwater. This amendment will be included in the amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Probably one of the most critical concerns of the City is shared with Pinellas County with regard
to the future supply of potable water supplies. The City's amendments will include portions of
the integrated Potable Water Plan devised by the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
New goals, objectives and policies will be submitted as amendments to address any changes the
city proposes to change. New sources of potable water supplies is critical to the continued level
of service the City now enjoys. Clearwater has spent $55 million in upgrading its wastewater
facilities to discharge advanced wastewater treatment, or tertiary treatment, but has failed to
implement citywide reclaimed water availability. The city has been lax in using the advanced
wastewater treatment technology to further conserve potable water supplies by using reclaimed
water for irrigation city wide which would serve a number of critical problems including potable
water conservation, recharging the surficial aquifer by using the reclaimed water more extensively
for irrigation purposes. The City is far behind in initiating water resource conservation measures
beyond those established by the SWFWMD and suggested by the Comprehensive Conservation
and Management Plan. Although much of Clearwater is urban and suburban, and impervious,
protection of aquifer recharge areas need to further be protected to continue the important to the
hydrologic cycle which is an important element of the desired balance of groundwater supply and
groundwater withdrawal for human consumption.
Continued efforts by the County City are necessary to fully implement the objectives of the Tampa
Bay National Estuary Program. Clearwater depends on the entire Tampa Bay Region in order to
effectively implement the TBNEP. A regional approach will show clear evidence in a far shorter
amount of time with even adherence to the objectives as set forth in the TBNEP.
In summary, the Intergovernmental Coordination Element should be reviewed for upddates in
Florida Law and Florida Administrative Code, and refined to better meet the challenges of the
future.
