WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Pinellas County has adopted r - Ordinance No. 90-13, as amended by Ordinance No. 90-56 (herein, the "County Ordinance"), which establishes an "access management system" for arterial and collector roads, including roads located within the corporate limits of the City of Clearwater; and WHEREAS, the County Ordinance applies to city roads as well as to county and state roads within the corporate limits of the City; and WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Clearwater finds and declares that, for the reasons set forth herein, the County Ordinance should not be enforced within the corporate limits of the City; now, therefore, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA: Section 1. Ordinance No. 90-13 of the Board of County Commissioners of PInellas County, as amended by Ordinance No. 90-56, shall not be enforced within the corporate limits of the City for the following reasons: (1) The ordinance encourages the routing of commercial traffic through residential neighborhoods by prohibiting direct access to arterial and collector streets when egress to a road of lesser designation is available, contrary to sound land use planning principles. (2) The ordinance limits mitigation alternatives for concurrency management systems by prohibiting access to an arterial facility when access to a collector facility can be provided. (3) The ordinance imposes unreasonable and excessively burdensome requirements upon all applicants for access permits and right-of-way utilization permits regardless of the size or scale of a development. For example, to build a single-family or duplex residence, the applicant must furnish a diagram showing all driveways within half a mile of the property driveway. (4) The ordinance imposes inappropriate design criteria. For single- family and duplex developments, a "D.O.T. Standard Flare" is required if the road has an urban curb and gutter section, but such requirement omits radial returns and will result in tire damage to grass areas and sidewalks. .S"vZ 9 -7© x - - NINE 11? tam" I 1.

Instead, the ; ordinance declares that its purposes include the establishment of standards for the regulation and control of vehicular access to city roads, as well as to county and state roads, and to ensure that connections to the roadway system conform with city standards as well as county and state standards, without A taking into consideration the standards and procedures established by the municipalities in the county, (6) The ordinance requires that applicants for access permits to collector roads on city street systems shall submit a proposal or application to an "access management review committee" for review against county road standards and "countywide management access standards." The ordinance delegates to the committee, to be composed of traffic engineers and planners, the legislative power to develop access standards for city streets and for property located within municipalities to further the goals, policies and objectives of the county comprehensive plan. The ordinances also provides that the new standards "shall be" incorporated into the ordinance by amendment. } Nothing in the ordinance recognizes the existence of city standards governing < access to the city street system or the development of property within the city, nor does the ordinance articulate reasons why the city standards should be subordinate to the county comprehensive plan. (7) The ordinance fails to recognize the existence of the Pinellas County Planning Council (the "PPC") or the role and function of the PPC in the development of a countywide-comprehensive plan pursuant to Chapter 73-594, Laws of Florida, as amended by Chapters 74-584, 74-586, 76-473 and 88-464, Laws of "r h't r;. Florida (the "Special Act"). The ordinance fails to recognize the existence of a countywide comprehensive plan, as distinguished from the county comprehensive plan, and fails to recognize that the PPC is charged by law with developing a .w- traffic circulation element as well as rules and standards for implementing the countywide future land use plan. The ordinance is inconsistent with the Special s5 Act. ?•J (8) The requirements and limitations of the ordinance described above r are contrary to the public interest. 2 f +?'?••?`va'r?i7'c?`s??;?;?:?r_?Kt'=,49w...szr•F?,•??r:?c?e.?yrr.'.t;•,.;...„,.w.r=?w9.,,.?.?.x;. ;n?.y'r-, ?`q w_..? a.'^r?;»,p'; ^,a>.r:??s?;wr,.,;.?i?i:,'??;;+?_.sv±rper;?F;??,3?t=r°fi?,a?';.=?.q,tmy9?,'r?+w„;1'?'?'+,,?.t aa'ft;?xa?t ?k*?„?w?',?;,,..?x,.h,s,?tw?„'? g ?...t+ .,?Y':tii:'?. 5.=, i%, N?\ :.1:": ?.••. `9f ;`.a'ca' ?i.
