PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION, AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS ~ IMPROVE SAFETY - REDUCE PEDESTRIAN/AUTO CONFLICTS ~ IMPROVE AMBIANCE - MORE PLEASANT PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE ~ ELIMINATE BACK-OUT PARKING ON MAJOR PEDESTRIAN STREETS ~ CONSOLIDATE PARKING THROUGH PUBLIC PURCHASE OF KEY PARCELS OR CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE ON-STREET PARKING ARRANGEMENT (OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH) 2. APPEARANCE IMPROVEMENTS ~ ESTABLISH DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR BUILDINGS, SITES, SIGNS ~ MOVE OR SCREEN DUMPSTERS ~ ENCOURAGE STREETSIDE/SIDEWALK CAFES ~ PROVIDE LANDSCAPING ALONG STREETS 3. ZONING IMPROVEMENTS ~ RECOGNIZE EXISTING SITUATION ~ FOCUS ON KEY AREAS - HEIGHT; SETBACK; WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; USES IN CR-28 4. OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS ~ CONSOLIDATE OPEN SPACE IN MEANINGFUL PATTERN THROUGH PUBLIC PURCHASE OF KEY PARCELS 5. REDEVELOP THE EAST SHORE/POINSETTIA/CITY MARINA AREA ~ SPUR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA THROUGH PUBLIC INITIATIVES OR THROUGH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH REDEVELOPMENT IN KEEPING WITH CITY GOALS ,- -~ COMMERCIAL AREA SURVEY QUESTIONS 1. WOULD YOU FAVOR WIDER SIDEWALKS AND LANDSCAPING ALONG CLEARWATER BEACH COMMERCIAL AND MOTEL AREA STREETS EVEN IF IT MEANT THE LOSS OF SOME ON-STREET PARKING? 2. ONE METHOD OF IMPROVING THE APPEARANCE OF A COMMUNITY IS TO REQUIRE THAT NEW BUILDINGS AND ADDITIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS MEET SPECIFIC DESIGN GUIDELINES. ON CLEARWATER BEACH, IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED THAT TROPICAL SEASCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES BE APPLIED TO NEW BUILDINGS AND ADDITIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS IN THE COMMERCIAL AND MOTEL AREAS. WOULD YOU FAVOR REQUIRING DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THESE AREAS? 3. DO YOU THINK MORE PUBLIC PARKING IS NEEDED IN THE COMMERCIAL AND MOTEL AREAS OF CLEARWATER BEACH? 4. THERE HAS BEEN MANY NEWSPAPER REPORTS ABOUT POSSIBLE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE POINSETTIA/EAST SHORE AREA OF CLEARWATER BEACH. WOULD YOU: A. FAVOR IMPROVEMENTS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE WIDER SIDEWALKS AND LANDSCAPING IN THIS AREA EVEN IF IT MEANT THE LOSS OF SOME ON- STREET PARKING? B. FAVOR A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WOULD BRING A PUBLIC PARK, BAYFRONT BOARDWALK, AND A MAJOR LOW-RISE HOTEL TO THIS AREA? C. FAVOR A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WOULD BRING A PUBLIC PARK, BAYFRONT BOARDWALK, AND A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THIS AREA? 5. DO YOU THINK RESTAURANTS WITH OUTDOOR SEATING ADJACENT TO CLEARWATER BEACH COMMERCIAL SIDEWALKS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE? 6. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE OPEN SPACE ON THE HARBORSIDE WATERFRONT AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC ACCESS TO CLEARWATER HARBOR? 7. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO SEE YOUR TAXES INCREASED SOMEWHAT TO SUPPORT ANY OF THESE PROPOSED PROJECTS? IF SO, WHICH ONE(S)? 8. A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT IS A WAY TO FUND DESIRED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO BENEFIT FROM THE IMPROVEMENTS PAYING A SPECIAL TAX OR FEE. WOULD YOU FAVOR THE CREATION OF A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT TO SUPPORT ANY OF THESE PROPOSED PROJECTS? IF SO, WHICH ONE(S)? 9. A COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA) CAN BE CREATED TO REDEVELOP AN AREA USING A SPECIAL FINANCING TOOL CALLED "TAX INCREMENT FINANCING." THIS FINANCING TOOL DOES NOT RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN TAXES, BUT FOCUSES EXISTING AND FUTURE TAXES FROM AN AREA ON PROJECTS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE AREA. WOULD YOU FAVOR THE CREATION OF A CRA TO SUPPORT ANY OF THESE PROPOSED PROJECTS? IF SO, WHICH ONE(S)? I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I, I I I I I I I 1. I 2. I 3.

THE CITY COMMISSION IS CONSIDERING REGULATIONS CREATING A MANDATORY DESIGN REVIEW BOARD FOR REGULATING THE APPEARANCE OF THE COMMERCIAL AND MOTEL AREAS OF CLEARWATER BEACH. SHOULD THE SINGLE FAMILY AREAS ON CLEARWATER BEACH ALSO BE SUBJECT TO DESIGN REVIEW FOR NEW BUILDINGS AND ADDITIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS?

These commercial areas serve both residents and tourists, and significantly reflect on the image that Clearwater portrays to both visitors and citizens. This report serves as a strategic issues discussion for the commercial areas of Clearwater Beach. It is not intended to be an exhaustive study of the development issues of the beach. It is intended to represent a preliminary study to designate key focus areas for public redevelopment and development activities on Clearwater Beach. The study focuses most of its attention on the Dublic areas of Clearwater Beach. Staff feels that privately owned property on Clearwater Beach does not require subsidies for redevelopment in the same manner as private development in Downtown Clearwater and North Greenwood. Property values on Clearwater Beach are substantially higher than most areas of the City. These values have increased in recent years at a faster rate than most other areas of the City. An exception to this focus involves the East Shore/Poinsettia/City Marina area, which has a relatively higher need for redevelopment than other nonresidential areas of Clearwater Beach. As mentioned above, this study concentrates primarily on the publicly owned areas of Clearwater Beach. Of extreme importance are the roadways and sidewalks of the beach. Improvements to these areas will have ramifications on the surrounding private development, and this report suggests that measures be taken to mitigate or minimize those impacts. The report is divided into eight sections: Introduction; Alternatives; Key Issue Identification; Traffic Circulation Improvements; Appearance Improvements; Zoning and Signage Improvements; Open Space Improvements; and Future Action. Alternatives Staff has identified three alternative courses of action to be considered regarding the commercial areas of Clearwater Beach. The first alternative is the "status quo" alternative. This alternative is to not proceed with any actions to revitalize the commercial areas other than standard property maintenance and incremental improvement activities. 1 The second option is a major redevelopment alternative. This alternative would center around heavy public investment in purchasing deteriorating properties for private redevelopment activities. For example, the East Shore/Poinsettia area could be redeveloped as a "theme" development like Hamlin's Landing. The third option, and the one that this report discusses, is an intermediate approach. Instead of continuing with the status quo, or making major public investments to encourage major private investments, staff suggests that the focus for the commercial areas of Clearwater Beach should be on improving public facilities to promote private investment. This focus recognizes that Clearwater Beach is already an attractive area for private development due to the public beaches, tourist accommodations and shopping and dining opportunities. By improving public facilities, especially sidewalks, parking and open space, the City can establish the environment for renewed private interest in Clearwater Beach, as well as making the beach more attractive, functional and safe for residents and visitors. Selection of this intermediate approach will involve significant public investment. Replacing the 400 + back-out parking spaces in the Coronado/Hamden area with a public parking garage would cost around $3.5 million, for example. Sidewalk and roadway improvements called for in this plan are also expensive. The added staff needed to implement the "Tropical Seascape" design theme currently under consideration will represent a continuing personnel expense. However, investment now in improved public facilities will be cheaper in the long run than either the status quo alternative (since it may foster further deterioration) or the major redevelopment option (since Drivate redevelopment activities are not funded through public channels). The following section addresses key issues identified for discussion purposes under this intermediate alternative. Kev Issue Identification Key issues for the commercial areas of Clearwater Beach have been identified by various means. First, the Clearwater Beach Blue Ribbon Task Force report has been used as a first step toward analyzing issues in which a commercial area plan may be directed. Second, the staff has had substantial discussion with various individuals and groups representing Clearwater Beach. This public contact has been invaluable in helping us formulate our recommendations. Third, staff has drawn on the experience of other communities, both in Florida and nationwide, in helping assign our recommendations. The key result areas we have identified are discussed in detail in the following pages. These areas are summarized in Table 1. 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1.

If the commercial areas are to succeed and improve, pedestrian circulation must be improved. A significant reason for the revitalization of Miami Beach has been the improvements to the pedestrian circulation system. In Miami Beach, the pedestrian circulation was greatly improved by the substantial widening of sidewalks along the main thoroughfares. This study recommends that a similar approach be taken along the main pedestrian corridors on Clearwater Beach. Existing sidewalks, for the most. part, meet minimum traffic engineering standards for commercial areas, but go no further. There are many commercial areas without sidewalks. The existing situation does not enhance the pedestrian experience on the Beach. This report recommends substantial widening of the sidewalks, through either the deletion of on-street parking or through the deletion of existing back-out parking arrangements on public property, or both. By making these adjustments, it will be possible to install new sidewalks or widen existing sidewalks. Widening of the sidewalk system on Clearwater Beach will be costly. A large number of back-out parking spaces will be required to be deleted, having substantial impacts on individual property owners. Merchants will also be affected by the loss of on- street parking. For this reason, the proposed improvements may be phased. The loss of these parking spaces must be compensated for. This report suggests two alternatives: (1) Consolidated parking facilities; or (2) A comprehensive system of on-street parking. Ultimately, a combination of both options may be the best way of replacing the deleted spaces. Under the consolidated parking facilities option, large surface or garage parking lots would be constructed in several areas on Clearwater Beach to replace deleted back- out and on-street parking. Due to the lack of available land, and the fact that some condemnation of private property will have to occur in order to establish parking facilities to replace these spaces, staff would recommend that parking garages be constructed in most cases. The cost per space for structure parking is between $4,000 and $7,000 per space, not including land cost. The taller and the larger the structure, the lower the per space cost; in some cases, the spaces may be "piggy- backed," further reducing the per space cost. Arrangements would have to be made to "reserve" portions of the garage parking for private use. Under this option, loading area improvements will have to occur as well. Since many of the affected properties are motels, there must be areas set aside and designed into the sidewalk patterns to allow for checking in and loading and unloading luggage. 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The second option would involve establishing angled on-street parking to replace deleted back-out parking. To accommodate the revised parking arrangement and the sidewalk improvements, narrowing of streets will be required. Arrangements must also be made to "reserve" the on-street parking for private use. Improvements to the pedestrian circulation system for Clearwater Beach is absolutely essential if the beach is to substantially progress. Improvements to pedestrian traffic will result in fewer cars on the roadway, increased business for owners of commercial property, and greater opportunities for improved urban design and community appearance. Eliminating back-out parking along major pedestrian roadways will also result in improved public safety. The proposed pedestrian improvements will, in some cases, require changes to the vehicular circulation pattern. Both the East Shore and Poinsettia and Hamden and Coronado streets may have to be converted into one way pairs in order to increase the amount of right-of-way which can be devoted to sidewalks or on-street parking. Staff recognizes that the one way pairing issue is extremely controversial that has been considered many times in the past. However, the sidewalk improvement issue, along with the parking options, provides an incentive for property owners which has not been previously advanced. The incentives are: Creation of an improved pedestrian circulation pattern adding to the ambiance of Clearwater Beach; creating the potential for portions of the sidewalk areas to be used for displays of merchandise and sidewalk cafes; consolidation of parking into a safe, attractive and efficient network of parking structures and surface parking areas or a comprehensive arrangement of on-street parking; possible additional income for motel owners by allowing the private rental of "unused" parking spaces assigned to individual motels; and reuse potential of the privately-owned areas in front of the motels, restaurants, and shops (currently used for back-out parking) for site amenities such as landscaping display areas, outdoor cafes, and swimming pools. A summary of possible traffic pattern plans for both the north and south areas of Clearwater Beach is provided in Tables 2, 3, and 4. Aooearance Imorovements The Clearwater Beach Blue Ribbon Task Force and other individuals and groups, have identified improved appearance of Clearwater Beach as a major factor in stimulating redevelopment and progress on the beach. Subcommittees of the Greater Clearwater Chamber of Commerce and the Clearwater Beach Association are considering the appearance issues. Preliminary discussion with these groups indicates that the preferred approach appears to be the creation of a community redevelopment area and agency (or similar organization) which would encourage appearance improvements. 5 2 a: w I- .... :!:~ 00 <C- wu. mu. a:<C wa: 1-1- <C<C 3:w a: a: <c<C w:!: ~ ...I .... ~Oa: ~ · 0 ~>2 a:. <C :E~ :E...I ::)Q. cn<C ...Iw <ca: cn<C 0...1 c..<C 0- a:0 c..ffi :E :E o o en w > ~ Z a: w ~ e( en _z enO w- (.)~ z(.) we( ::::)-' ae( wZ eno z- 01:: (.)0 o e( -' e( en o A. o a: A. ~ z w ~ ~ (f) w > Z cc~ 0"" ..,lXl e(=> ~e: ~ "z Ow =>~ 00.. eno =>....~ ~wu e(>W ~W.., (f)00 wcc . a: 0..

Along with this effort, the staff would recommend that on-street dumpsters be moved or screened, the landscaping program which has begun along Mandalay Avenue be expanded to include other thoroughfares on Clearwater Beach in a comprehensive, priority-based fashion. Staff would also suggest that the ambiance and appearance on the beach could be improved through the encouragement of streetside and sidewalk cafes, either through the devotion of portions of the public right-of-way for these types of uses or through incentives to provide outdoor seating for restaurants on private property. Design/appearance issues are summarized in Table 5. Zoning and Signaae Imorovements Several improvements to the Land Development Code (zoning code) are needed in order to promote improved development practices on Clearwater Beach. First, the height for structures in the Resort Commercial Twenty-Four district should be increased from the current 30 feet to 50 feet. The current regulations establish a unintentional "cap" on density for this zoning district. It is nearly impossible to reach the allowable density with the 30 foot cap and existing open space and building coverage requirements. Second, setback requirements need to be revised. In particular, no setbacks should be required in the Beach Commercial zoning districts except along alleyways. Along Mandalay Avenue, a "build to" line might be established which would require structures to meet an established setback line, unless the structures provide some public amenity, such as a landscaped area or an open area for public assembly, along the front part of the property. No parking should be provided in the "front yard" for properties fronting on Mandalay Avenue. Third, the south area Beach Commercial zoned should be converted to Resort Commercial Twenty-Eight (CR-28) district. The development pattern in this area is substantially different from than that along Mandalay Avenue, with more open space and greater structural setbacks. This will require some adjustment to the permitted and conditional uses in the CR-28 zoning district in this area in order to minimize the effect of this change on existing uses. Fourth, the waterfront development standards should be revised to exempt small lots from meeting excessive side setback requirements. View corridors are only effective when they are of sufficient width to provide an adequate view. Small lots fronting on Clearwater Harbor typically do not have sufficient width to allow this to be an effective tool in promoting visual goals.

A draft ordinance is attached as Appendix A. Sixth, signage requirements should be revised to "minimize" the public attention drawn to accessory uses in motels. Our codes have been changed to reduce the extent of motel conversion to retail or restaurant uses, while allowing some minimal level of retail sales or restaurant uses (as accessory uses) within the motels as a service to the tourists staying there. However, we have not adopted corresponding signage regulations to further restrict the actual effect of these changes to those tourists as opposed to the public at large; consequently, motels are advertising their "accessory" uses to the general public. Finally, staff would recommend that Clearwater Beach commercial areas be established as an Activity Center on the Pinellas Planning Council Countywide Land Use Plan. This designation will allow some flexibility in land uses, including increased impervious surface area for properties identified as needing such special allowance. Zoning and signage improvements are summarized in Table 6. ODen SD8ce ImDrovements Water views are an extremely important part of the experience of Clearwater Beach for both visitors and residents. The City has been fortunate to have large areas of publicly owned property providing excellent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, the property that the City owns that fronts on Clearwater Harbor is not well suited to providing good, useable open space for public enjoyment of the water. Staff would recommend that a public lands acquisition plan be started to acquire property along East Shore Boulevard and Hamden Drive in order to ensure that sufficient areas are obtained to provide for public view and access to the water. Acquisition of these areas may possibly be partly funded through state water access grants. Improvements to these areas, such as docks, parking, restrooms and other facilities may also be paid for through state access grants. Open space improvements are summarized in Table 7. 11 :J: o <C w~ mz a:- wZ ....0 <CN ~Z <C<C W....l ....ID. ~O <C ~IW ~ > a: a:<C <C....I ~<C ~O ::>a: 0W ....I:E <C:E 00 00 D. o a: D. o W > t= e( z a: W ~ e( en _z 00 w- Ot- ZO We( :J-' ae( wZ 00 z- o!:: 00 o e( -' e( o o 0.. o a: 0.. o :::> o (/) :::> ... < t- en -" w Z o Z -" ... :I: CJ W :I: ~ N I 0: u, wti: (/)0 <Ll) w 0:0 Ut- z.

The area has enormous potential for development due to its location on Clearwater Harbor and its proximity to Mandalay Avenue, the "Main Street" of Clearwater Beach's commercial district. Some redevelopment options are discussed below. The previous section of this report proposes some land purchases in order to promote public access to Clearwater Harbor. With property owner approval, the proposed waterfront access area could be linked with other waterfront properties through a public boardwalk fronting Clearwater Harbor. Redevelopment of the City Marina/Civic Center property could generate private investment in this area, resulting in redevelopment without public investment in existing private properties. The Clearwater Chamber of Commerce has proposed a conference center on the City Marina/Civic Center property that could serve as such a catalyst development if parking and traffic generation/congestion issues can be resolved (perhaps Tourist Development Council funds could be used to leverage FOOT construction of a fixed, high-rise bridge on Memorial Causeway to relieve congestion). Other City Marina/Civic Center redevelopment options could also be explored. Another approach would be to develop a public-private partnership that would allocate redevelopment "shares" to property owners in this area based upon some equitably- arrived-at formula in order to promote a large scale redevelopment project without the need for condemnation. This approach would allow the entire East Shore/Poinsettia area to be razed and redeveloped with a unified access and development scheme, with the City and .all property owners sharing in the development benefits in accordance with their individual contributions. These ideas should be explored in greater detail with the assistance of economic development specialists. Future Action This plan represents a very cursory and preliminary study of the Clearwater Beach commercial areas. It serves means of facilitating discussion and identifying directions in which staff should proceed. Consequently, should the Commission elect to pursue the components of the plan, the following actions should be authorized: ~ Preparation of a comprehensive sidewalk improvement and parking study for the beach commercial areas, including engineering reports. ~ Preparation of an open space needs identification study to determine key properties for purchase, including an analysis of potential funding sources. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ Continued coordination of the "Tropical Seascape" theme design issues through the citizen committee, with ultimate implementation of the committee's findings consistent with the Commission's wishes. ~ Development and implementation of a streetside landscaping program. ~ Preparation of Land Development Code amendments identified in this report for Commission consideration. ~ Further exploration of redevelopment options for the East Shore/Poinsettia/City Marina area. 15 APPENDIX A ORDINANCE NO.

Dimensional and numerical development requirements. The following dimensional and numerical requirements shall apply to the development of parking garages: (1 ) Minimum setbacks. Parking garages shall have the following minimum setbacks: (a) From a street right-of-way: 1 . For parking garages located in pedestrian-oriented zoning districts, the minimum setback from a street right-of-way shall be 10 feet if the street is classified as an arterial or collector street on the thoroughfare plan, and five feet if the street is otherwise classified on the thoroughfare plan. 2. For parking garages not located in pedestrian-oriented zoning districts, the minimum setback from a street right-of-way shall be the same as for other structures in the zoning district in which the parking garage is located. (b) From side and rear property lines: The minimum setback from side and rear property lines shall be the same as for other structures in the zoning district in which the parking garage is located. (2) Maximum height. The maximum height for parking garages shall be the same as for other structures in the zoning district in which the parking garage is located. (3) Minimum open space: None. (4) 'Maximum floor area ratio: None. (5) Maximum building coverage: None. (6) Minimum parking stall dimensions: As specified in section 42.34(4), design standards. (7) Minimum travel aisle width: As specified in section 42.34(4), design standards. (8) Minimum vehicle storage requirements at entry points: (a) For free flow entries: One space per entry lane. (b) For automatic ticket dispensing entries: Two spaces per entry lane. (c) For manual ticket dispensing entries: Eight spaces per entry lane. 17 18 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I (d) For valet parking garages: 10 per cent of that portion of the parking garage parking capacity served by the entry lane, or as otherwise specified by the traffic engineer. (9) Minimum landscaping requirements: (a) Perimeter landscape standards. The perimeter landscape standards of section 42.27(3) shall be met. (b) Interior landscape standards: None. (c) Other landscape standards. All other landscape standards of section 42.27 shall be met. (10) Ground floor commercial or office component. For parking garages located in pedestrian-oriented zoning districts, not less than 50 per cent of the linear width of the parking garage as measured along any abutting street right-of-way shall be devoted to commercial or office development on the ground floor level only. Such commercial development shall not be used in computing the total floor area allowed for the property on which the parking garage is located. (11) Piggybacking. For nonvalet parking garages constructed to meet the parking requirements for residential uses, piggybacking shall be permitted when each pair of piggybacked spaces is reserved for an individual residential unit. For valet parking garages, piggybacking shall not be permitted to be used for required parking for nonresidential uses unless a separate design is submitted showing how the garage could be converted to meet the parking requirements with a standard (i.e., . nonpiggybacked) parking space arrangement in the event the valet parking is discontinued. This requirement may be waived for parking garages controlled by perpetual agreements between the city and the property owner to provide valet parking that allow for liens against the properties in the event the valet parking is discontinued; such agreements shall be contingent upon approval of the traffic engineer and city attorney. Section 2. The provisions of this ordinance have been found to be consistent with the City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan. Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

More and more frequently, older homes are being demolished or added on to by owners desiring a larger, more modern home. This redevelopment pressure creates both challenges and opportunities. Current code requirements, designed for areas not experiencing such pressures, do not seem to adequately handle many of the redevelopment proposals. Revising these code requirements to more readily accommodate desired redevelopment is a major challenge. A major opportunity presents itself under these circumstances. The current architectural design of the residential areas on the beach is a mixture of many styles, ranging from older Florida beach cottages to ranch styles to modern/mediterranean. The extent of the redevelopment efforts currently underway provides the City with an opportunity to consider residential architectural design controls that will be in keeping with the Tropical Seascape design theme proposed by the Clearwater Beach Blue Ribbon Task Force. The following sections address the challenge and opportunity. Challenae - Revise Zoning Regulations An analysis of variances given on Clearwater Beach over the past several years reveals that an adjustment to our code requirements may be appropriate. Single family residential properties on the beach are being developed with larger and larger . structures. The existing development pattern on the beach reflects a smaller street yard setback and greater coverage of the lot by structure than is the case in other areas of the City. We are not seeing this same development pattern for single family areas on the mainland or Island Estates since the higher property value developments in these areas typically have larger lots sizes and have an established development pattern more consistent with current code requirements, perhaps due to the time frame in which most of the lots were developed. The existing beach development pattern has combined with high property values and strong efforts to achieve good site design. This has resulted in most requests for setback, building coverage and open space variances being granted. Consequently, the staff, in its continuing effort to reduce the number of repetitive, frequently- approved variances, is recommending that a separate set of dimensional requirements for single family residential properties on Clearwater Beach be established. The following table provides an illustration of possible amendments to the RS-8 zoning district regulations to provide the proposed changes. 20 21 I I I I I I I I I I Ii I I I I I I I I TABLE 1 CLEARWATER BEACH PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS EXISTING PROPOSED - CLEARWATER BEACH SETBACKS SETBACKS STREET: 25' ~ STREET: 'nit ~ ..... .. ~ SIDE: 5' ~ SIDE: 5' ~ REAR: 1 0' ~ REAR: 1 0' BUILDING COVERAGE BUILDING COVERAGE 42 % Eli ::...:.:::...:.;:;:..:::.:.; OPEN SPACE OPEN SPACE ~ FOR LOT: 35% ~ FOR LOT: Ig1l ~ FOR FRONT YARD: 40% ~ FOR FRONT YARD: 1~:1i Oooortunitv - Aooearance Imorovements The Clearwater Beach Blue Ribbon Task Force and other individuals and groups have identified the improved appearance of Clearwater Beach as a major factor in stimulating redevelopment and progress on the beach. Subcommittees of the Greater Clearwater Chamber of Commerce and the Clearwater Beach Association are jointly considering the appearance issues as the Tropical Seascape Theme Committee. While the Committee has concentrated its efforts on the nonresidential areas of Clearwater Beach, ultimately some architectural controls may be extended over the residential sections. Preliminary presentations by the group indicates that the preferred approach appears to be the creation of a community redevelopment area and agency or similar mechanism which would encourage appearance improvements. This approach will require the preparation of design guidelines to specify precisely what improvements are desired, and the development of financial incentives (grants or low interest loans) to encourage private property owners to improve the appearance of their buildings. Special provisions will be needed to add or otherwise incorporate residential architectural design into this effort, due to the somewhat wider range of architectural styles present in the residential area, as opposed to the commercial area. Since the results of the committee studying this issue have not been presented, only some preliminary information and possible actions are provided in Table 2. I I I I I I I I I I.
