FY 03-04 Clearwater CRA Annual Report
A. Introduction
The Florida Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 (Florida Statutes: Title XI, Chapter
163, Part III) provides a vehicle for local communities to form a Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and create a Redevelopment Trust Fund through Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) for financing improvements within a target area. The City of
Clearwater established its CRA in Fiscal Year 1981-1982.
Pursuant to Chapter 163.356(3)(c) of the Florida Statutes, a progress report of the year's
redevelopment activities, including a complete financial statement of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses, is due on March 31 of each year. This annual report briefly
summarizes the redevelopment activities conducted by the CRA in FY 03-04 and
includes the year's financial statements.
The CRA's budget for FY 2003-2004 was $1,075,634.
In FY 03-04, the CRA concentrated on several major new projects for the redevelopment
area including attracting new urban housing into the downtown core, installing the
Downtown Wayfinding Signage, preparing for the Cleveland Street Streetscape project,
and draw a movie theater to the downtown core. In addition, the CRA and City updated
the Downtown Redevelopment Plan which outlined specific strategies and projects to
address housing, economic development, infrastructure, public safety, and community
facilities and resources in the expanded CRA.
The CRA worked closely with developers, the Downtown Development Board, Main
Street Program, property owners, Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, and other
stakeholders to coordinate projects that impact the Downtown and spur catalytic
development with the CRA district.
B. New Activity
Approval of the Community Redevelopment Area Plan
In 1981, the City of Clearwater adopted a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
area for Downtown that only encompassed approximately 247 acres of the urban core
from the downtown waterfront to about Missouri A venue. Due to changing market
conditions and the construction of the new Memorial Causeway Bridge, the CRA needed
to be expanded to encourage more residential, office, and retail investment, and
redevelopment within Downtown. After extensive research and fieldwork documenting
the existing housing, commercial, crime incidents and other existing conditions in the
area to document "slum and blight" conditions, a Findings and Declaration of Necessity
Analysis was completed in June 2002. In Fall 2002, the City Commission/CRA and
Pinellas County Board of Commissioners approved the expansion boundaries of the CRA
from approximately Missouri Avenue to Highland Avenue, and from Drew Street to
Court Street, or the "East Gateway" neighborhood totaling approximately 201 acres.
2
FY 03-04 Clearwater CRA Annual Report
In accordance with state laws, a detailed Redevelopment Plan was prepared for the area
including Tax Increment Financing (TIF) projections for the new area, all part of the
updated Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The County approved the
Downtown Redevelopment Plan in December 2003 and the city received approval for
TIF in February 2004. The expanded CRA area now totals 448 acres.
As part of the Plan process, the CRA participated in developing design guidelines for the
entire Downtown Plan Area. The CRA contributed significant staff time to this project.
Bi-monthly meetings were held with the Downtown Design Guidelines Steering
Committee, made up of Main Street Design Committee members, residents of areas
located on the periphery of downtown, local architects and builders, a Clearwater
Regional Chamber of Commerce representative, and a representative from the Downtown
Development Board.
The Downtown Design Guidelines were adopted into the Plan on 11/04. The guidelines
may be found on the city's website at ~;Y}YW1-1J.Yl.:J~~IWllt~LCS!111.
Request For Proposals/Qualifications (RFPQ) for a
Multi-plex Movie Theatre in Downtown Clearwater
On February 13, 2004, the CRA released a RFPQ to select a qualified developer to
develop a multi-plex movie theatre in downtown Clearwater. We mailed over 700 copies
of the RFPQ and 2000 notices of its availability on the city's web site to national
developers, theatre owners, etc. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on
March 17, 2004.
Two developers 1) The Beck Group and 2) Clearwater Development, LLC submitted
proposals on June 30, 2004. Beck Development was eliminated due to being non-
responsive. Clearwater Development, LLC was short-listed and selected for an
interview. The Selection Committee met again on August 27, 2004 to interview
Clearwater Development, LLC and their identified movie theatre operator, AmStar
Entertainment, LLC.
The general project location is the property on Cleveland Street between Osceola and N.
Fort Harrison Avenues ("AmSouth" Block). The project components are still being
formulated, however, the developer is planning for a 12-screen multi-plex theatre with
ArnStar Entertainment, LLC as its operator.
The Selection Committee unanimously agreed to recommend Clearwater Development,
LLC to the CRA to further negotiate the terms and conditions of a development
agreement for developing the movie theatre complex in conjunction with a mixed-use
development on their site.
The CRA paid for the $7,000 cost of production and distribution of the RFPs.

FY 03-04 Clearwater CRA Annual Report
CRA, DDB and Main Street Program Trip to Daytona
Beach and Orlando
Representatives from the CRA/City Council, Downtown Development Board, and Main
Street Program along with Economic Development staff visited the cities of Daytona
Beach and Orlando on May 13 and May 14, 2005. The group met with city and CRA,
DDB, and Main Street Program representatives to find out how their programs are
working, the relationships between the groups, downtown strategies, etc. The group also
visited the cities of Deland and Winter Park and briefly toured their downtowns.
Daytona Beach and Orlando both had several successful strategies for Downtown
revitalization that may be applicable to Downtown Clearwater. Several
initiatives/program ideas will be further evaluated by Staff and include:
. Define incentive programs needed to spur desired downtown redevelopment
. Develop a restaurant and retail recruitment strategy to cater to our target markets
. Strengthen our partnerships with property and business owners and develop a
market connection between downtown and Clearwater Beach
After evaluation of these program ideas, CRA staff presented three new projects to the
Main Street Joint Venture meeting on July 14, 2004 to be conducted in the next fiscal
year. These new projects include a downtown market study, a fa~ade design analysis for
Cleveland Street and a computer model of downtown.
Station Square Parking Lot Redevelopment Project
4
FY 03-04 Clearwater CRA Annual Report
In order to spur catalytic redevelopment in the downtown core, the CRA made one of its
prime real estate sites, the Station Square Parking Lot site, available for mixed-use
redevelopment to include new urban housing and retail in the Downtown core.
The CRA owns the 35,968+/- square-foot site, which currently is used as a public surface
parking lot. The CRA issued a Request for Proposals and Qualifications (RFPQ) in May
2003 for the redevelopment of the Station Square Parking Lot Site on Cleveland Street as
an office/retail/residential infill development. In July 2003, the CRA selected Beck, LLC
as the developer for the project and authorized the negotiation of a development
agreement.
The Development Agreement was approved in February 2004. The proposed project will
contain a maximum of 146 residential condominiums, 15,000 square feet of
restaurant/retail space and 326 parking spaces, of which, 100 will be public. The
developer will pay fair market value for the Station Square Parking Lot property which is
$720,000. The CRA will hold a mortgage with a 4% interest rate on the property until
the developer obtains financing at which time the developer will pay the CRA $720,000
plus accrued interest.
The Developer also agrees to sell to the CRA 100 parking spaces, which will be made
available to the public. The CRA and City will assume responsibility to purchase these
spaces for $12,500 per space for a total of $1,250,000.
The CRA also agreed to pay for the developer's impact fees once the building is
completed. The CRA allocated $460,000 from the Downtown Redevelopment project
account to pay for the Developer's impact fees over a two-year period, one year after the
project receives its certificate of completion.
Bio-Life Building-Estimate for Renovation
After the Bio-Life company vacated the building at 534 Cleveland Street, the owner of
the building approached the City/CRA about assisting in getting a new tenant for the
building. During these discussions, the owner offered the building to the City/CRA if the
CRA would participate in renovating the building and the owner would then deduct the
cost of renovation from the monthly rent. Because of the prominent location of this
building in the center of the downtown core, the CRA ordered a structural investigation
and an evaluation of existing conditions to determine the feasibility of this project.
The cost of this project was $8,185 for professional services.

Proposed and Completed Residential Units in the CRA
The primary strategy for downtown revitalization is the attraction of quality, new urban
market-rate housing. The attraction of residents into our downtown acts as a catalyst for
increased retail, restaurants and entertainment venues. The CRA and City have been
working with developers as they progress through the development process. Attached is
a map that outlines proposed, under construction, or completed residential units in the
Downtown (some lie outside the CRA). Below is a sample of several key projects in the
CRA.
Ewing Place Townhomes - 10 Units

FY 03-04 Clearwater CRA Annual Report
Clearwater Automotive Land Exchange-Miller Property
Purchase
Long an impediment to the future redevelopment around the Town Lake area and the
CGI Campus, this automotive scrap storage facility was acquired by the City in October
2003 through an exchange of real property between the City and Clearwater Mall, LLC
with a value of $1,200,000.
This exchange contract resulted in a remnant parcel (Miller Property) that the CRA
acquired so as to consolidate the block into a potential redevelopment site. The 7,850
square foot parcel is adjacent to the Clearwater Auto Salvage Yard and was purchased for
$48,000. Due to multiple prior commitments on current CRA funds, the Downtown
Development Board (DDB) agreed to loan the CRA $48,000 for this purchase at 0%
interest, on the provision that the DDB would share proportionately in any future gain
through the sale of the combined redevelopment parcels.
CRA committed to pay for the real estate taxes of the entire property. The CRA also paid
for the closing costs of the transaction.

construction scheduled to begin once the new Memorial Causeway Bridge opens
(DecIJan 06). The cost of preparing the construction documents for the Cleveland Street
Streetscape in the amount of $371,828 is being funded from Penny for Pinellas. The
anticipated $4.7 million construction cost will be funded from Penny for Pinellas ($3.7
million) and from the CRA ($1 million). The $1 million allocated from CRA funds came
from this year's operating budget and the sale of the Station Square Parking Lot.

Mediterranean Village
On March 7,2002, the City Commission approved an Interlocal Agreement between the
City and CRA regarding the Brownfields site initially known as Dimmitt Chevrolet
Property B to facilitate the proposed redevelopment of the site (now called the
Mediterranean Village in the Park Townhomes). The CRA purchased the land and is
paying impact fees, permit fees, utility connections fees and stormwater fees for this 100-
unit residential project estimated at $18 million. The City has committed to certain
environmental remediation on the property pursuant to the BSRA (Brownfields Site
Rehabilitation Agreement) entered into between the City and FDEP (Florida Department
of Environmental Protection) on July 26, 2001.
As part of the 3-year Development Agreement, the CRA committed to pay for the impact,
permit and other associated development fees. In addition, the CRA covered some
additional legal fees to complete the required actions of the Agreement ($1,413 for legal
counsel Akerman Senterfitt & Eidson, P.A. for ongoing environmental legal advice) and
a portion of the remediation activities conducted by URS Corporation ($20,717). The
CRA also cover the maintenance of the property (Landscape $3,250 and Fencing $2,436)

(includes principal and interest).
IMRlCGI Landscaping Fund
According to the IMR!CGr Development Agreement, the CRA made a multi-year
commitment to allocate the TIF generated from this project in a project fund to pay for
streetscape or landscaping improvements around the immediate site. The CRA made its
final commitment last year. The CRA's goal is to use these funds in later years as part of

Downtown Clearwater Farmer's Market
The Downtown Clearwater Farmer's Market, in its tenth year of operation, sells fresh
produce, baked goods, gourmet foods, unique gifts, crafts, flowers, and plants on
Wednesday mornings from October through April in Station Square Park. In anticipation
of the construction of the Station Square Condominiums where Station Square Park will
be used as a staging area, CRA staff worked with the manager of the Farmer's Market to
find an alternative location for the market beginning in October 2004. The City Hall
Parking Lot was the preferred location and the CRA recommended the use of the parking
lot area to the City.
The CRA funds the Farmer's Market annually for $5,000.

Downtown-Gateway Strategic Action Program
The Downtown-Gateway Strategic Action Program began in February 2002 as a
partnership between the CRA, Main Street Program, DDB, the Clearwater Regional
Chamber of Commerce, property owners and tenants to identify specific actions for
improving downtown Clearwater. Through a strategy meeting and tour of the area, the
group identified the strengths, challenges, and opportunities Downtown as well as short-
term action items to be accomplished in one to three years. From these meetings, a
matrix was developed defining projects, programs, and costs by year as well as priorities
for the future redevelopment of Downtown and the Gateway. The Downtown-Gateway
Strategic Action Program is reviewed and revised on a yearly basis. Attached is the
matrix that included the new projects for the upcoming fiscal year.
