TEXT AMENDMENTS
REQUEST: Amendments to the Community Development Code, regarding
sandwich board signs, signs during public construction projects,
and increasing parking requirements for attached dwellings as
Residential Infill projects in the High Density Residential (HDR)
District.
INITIATED BY: City of Clearwater Planning Department
ANALYSIS:
The Planning Department is recommending three amendments to the Community
Development Code. These amendments address parking in the High Density Residential
District and sandwich board signs.
Please find below a summary of these proposed amendments. Also attached is Ordinance
No. 7630-06 which includes the specific amendments. Within the ordinance document,
text that is underlined indicates proposed language and text containing strikethroughs

Article 2 - Zoning Districts
^ Parking Requirements (Pages 1 - 2 of Ordinance)
Ordinance No. 7630-06 increases the Residential Infill Project minimum parking
space requirement for residential dwellings, from 1 space to 2 spaces per unit in the
HDR Zoning District. This amendment addresses concerns raised by the Planning
Department, the City Council, and the public regarding the need for additional
parking for new residential development and was inadvertently left out of Ordinance
No. 7605-06.

Article 3 -Development Standards
^ Prohibition of Sandwich Board Signs (Page 2 of Ordinance)
The Planning Department has drafted an amendment that will remove the exception
to the prohibition of sandwich board signs for the Downtown District, to be consistent
with the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Anew exception is proposed
to be added that provides for temporary sandwich board signs for businesses during
lengthy public construction projects.
^ Sandwich Board Signs During Public Construction Projects (Pages 2 - 3 of
Ordinance)
This ordinance amendment provides for temporary sandwich signs for businesses
abutting public construction projects. The amendment regulates the number of such
signs allowed per parcel, as well as the appearance, height and size of signs. The
amendment provides for such signs during the timeframe of construction. The intent
of the amendment is to offset potential business access confusion.
CRITERIA FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS:
Code Section 4-601 specifies the procedures and criteria for reviewing text amendments.
Any code amendment must comply with the following.
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with and furthers the goals,
policies, objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Below is a list of goals, policies, objectives from the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan that
are furthered by the proposed amendments to the Community Development Code:
• Goal 4 -The City of Clearwater shall ensure that all development or redevelopment
initiatives meet the safety, environmental, and aesthetic needs of the City through
consistent implementation of the Community Development Code.
The proposed amendments provide for increased parking requirements for residential
development, strengthening the Residential Infill Project Criteria with regard to
parking.
2. The proposed amendments further the purposes of the Community
Development Code and other City ordinances and actions designed to
implement the Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the provisions of Section 1-103 that lists
the purposes of the Code.

To: Clearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you for your inquiry. I am responding to your questions here.
4/18/2006
• • Page 2 of 4
1. You asked for the City's definition of the term "abutting". We follow the definition of "abutting property" as provided
within the City's Community Development Code:
Abutting property means property which is contiguous to the parcel proposed for development or contiguous to property
which is owned by the applicant and/or an affiliated entity of the applicant which is contiguous to the parcel proposed for
development.
The Community Development Code definition of "abutting property" is consistent with the Webster's Dictionary definition of
"abutting".
2. Next question, "If the proposed signs can only be used on our property when physical construction is taking place on
our parcel or physically touching our parcel, how would they be visible and what use would they be?" Response: If the
property is within the limits of construction and is abutting, then temporary signage will be allowed per the specifications of
this code.
3. If a parcel is located two lots away from the public construction, does it qualify for the temporary sandwich board
signage? Response: Yes, if within the limits of construction.
4. If construction is occurring on the west side of the street, does this mean that businesses on the east side of the street
can have sandwich boards signs displayed?
Response: Yes, if within the limits of construction.
5. How is signage allowed when a project is divided into a number of individual construction phases, and a phase
might take less than 180 days to complete? Response: If the project phase takes less than 180 days, then no temporary
sandwich board signage would be allowed.
6. "If multiple businesses are listed on the same sign, may the sign be displayed until the last business closes for the day
even though other businesses listed on the sign have closed earlier?" Response: Yes.
We recognize that when a bid is let for a particular project, that the limits of construction will indicate where temporary
signage can occur. We also recognize that physical work will not start everywhere at once.
Again, thank you for your inquiry. Please contact me with any other questions or concerns that you might have.

Subject: RE: proposed sandwich board ordinance
FYI. Here are the questions from the Beach Chamber. I anticipate that for the most part, the answers to the
questions will be favorable.
I see us allowing the signage "within the limits of construction from commencement through engineering
acceptance". That may mean that for a time, things are not going to be "dug up" adjacent to a particular
parcel. If that parcel adjoins the construction area, it will be allowed the signage. If construction phases
occurs such with Beachwalk, I anticipate that each phase will stand along in terms of temporary signage. For
example, we'll permit signage on Coronado for a time but not Gulfview until that phase starts. If more than
one business on a sign, I would agree that it could remain as long as any one business is open. If Third and
Fifth street take less than 180 days, no signage will be permitted.
If no one disagrees with this approach generally, I'll contact her and see if we can clarify and keep it moving
forward -assuming that remains our goal.

To: Reynolds, Mike
Subject: RE ordinance TA2006-03002
As per our discussion, the Clearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce has questions concerning the following
items in the proposed ordinance:
Section 3, Article 3, Y;
We are questioning the verbiage "abutting public construction projects" and "the 180 day or longer" criteria.
We are asking for your definition of the term "abutting." If the proposed signs can only be used on our
property when physical construction is taking place on our parcel or physically touching our parcel, how would
they be visible and what use would they be? If construction is taking place 2 parcels down from ours thereby
disrupting pedestrian and vehicle traffic, we would not be allowed to have signage but it would be necessary
to advertise that we are still open for business.
If construction is occurring on the west side of the street, does this mean businesses on the east side of the
street cannot have sandwich boards signs displayed?
The Coronado project has been divided into several construction phases, the first commencing between 3rd
and 5th street. If that section of the phase is not to take at least 180 days, does that mean that no sandwich
board signs will be allowed at all? Looking at the proposed phases of the Coronado project, if each phase
took longer than 180 days, this would result in the project going past the set time schedule.
4/18/2006
Page 4 of 4
.~
Section 3, Article 3, Y;
Subsection 5 - If multiple businesses are listed on the same sign, may the sign be displayed until the last
business closes for the day even though other businesses listed on the sign have closed earlier?
When we first requested the opportunity to have sandwich boards and through all the subsequent meetings
that were held, none of the conditions contained in the proposed ordinance were ever discussed.
It was our understanding that sign boards would be allowed in the Beachwalk construction area for the
duration of Beachwalk construction. The only limitation ever discussed was that the north beach area could
not have signs because they were not being impacted by the construction.
We would appreciate clarification.

Re: Code 11.5
The following are my notes from our meeting with Mike and Gina yesterday.
Temporary Signs:
• We will be removing the amendment dealing with sandwich board signs from Code II, and
creating a Code 11.5 that includes an amendment that would change 18.03(1) as follows:
`Sandwich board signs, except adjacent to public construction projects as provided in Section
3-1805(1"
• Anew section 3-1805(17 will be added which may read as follows:
`Temporary Sandwich Board Signs during public construction projects.
Temporary sandwich board signs are permitted for properties abutting public construction
projects that are scheduled to last 180 days or longer, in accordance with the following criteria.
1. There shall be a maximum of two (2) sandwich board signs permitted per parcel
adjacent to the public construction project, and parcels with multiple businesses, shall
coordinate copy on the signs permitted.
2. Sandwich board signs permitted under this section shall be allowed to be displayed
for a maximum of seven (7) days after the Final Acceptance of improvements that part
of the public construction project adjacent to the business.
3. The size of any sandwich board sign shall not exceed eight (8) square feet in area,
and shall not exceed four (4) feet in height.
4. Sandwich board signs permitted under this section shall be constructed in a
professional and workmanlike manner from treated wood or other durable material,
and copy displayed shall not be spray painted onto the signs.
5. No sandwich board sign, permitted as part of this section shall be permanently
erected, and shall only be displayed during hours of operation for the business being
advertised.

6. No sandwich board sign shall be placed so as to block any public way, or within the
visibility triangle of intersections or driveways.
Code II, Comp Infill

will be providing new text to include as underline.

Sorry to inform you of this but ..... a change in schedule is being requested. Do you think we can make the April
20th City Council first reading? The schedule would be : April 18th CDB ;April 20th CC 1st reading; May 4 CC
2nd reading. This means the ordinance, staff report and agenda cover memo must be entered into FYI on March
27th -this gives us 10 working days.

I will defer to Michael on when he wants this to go to the Council. Of course I would prefer a regular
schedule e.g. May 18th 1st reading and June 1st second reading but we may need to expedite due to
Beach Walk construction. In order to make the April 20th Council meeting we would need to have the
ordinance finalized in FYI on March 27th. I don't think that is realistic. The other option would be to have
first reading on May 4th (due in FYI on April 10th) and 2nd reading on May 18th. In order to make the
April CDB meeting, a title will have to be drafted and to the Clerk's office on March 16th. This doesn't give
us much time!

Something new just came up as you saw in Wayne's a-mail - we have to develop an ordinance for

I will defer to Michael on when he wants this to go to the Council. Of course I would prefer a regular schedule e.g. May
18th 1st reading and June 1st second reading but we may need to expedite due to Beach Walk construction. In order
to make the April 20th Council meeting we would need to have the ordinance finalized in FYI on March 27th. I don't
think that is realistic. The other option would be to have first reading on May 4th (due in FYI on April 10th) and 2nd
reading on May 18th. In order to make the April CDB meeting, a title will have to be drafted and to the Clerk's office on
March 16th. This doesn't give us much time!

Something new just came up as you saw in Wayne's a-mail - we have to develop an ordinance for the April
18th CDB meeting and May Council meeting to address temporary sandwich board signs (or other temporary
small pole type sign) for properties abutting public construction projects. This is something that Council wants
to allow accommodate property owners during major infrastructure projects.
Just got the word today. SorryC

Subject: TA2006-03002; Ordinance No. 7630-06
To: Clearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thank you for your inquiry. I am responding to your questions here
Page 1 of 2
1. You asked for the City's definition of the term "abutting". We follow the definition of "abutting property" as provided within the
City's Community Development Code:
Abutting property means property which is contiguous to the parcel proposed for development or contiguous to property which is
owned by the applicant and/or an affiliated entity of the applicant which is contiguous to the parcel proposed for development.
The Community Development Code definition of "abutting property" is consistent with the Webster's Dictionary definition of
"abutting".
2. Next question, "If the proposed signs can only be used on our property when physical construction is taking place on our
parcel or physically touching our parcel, how would they be visible and what use would they be?" Response: If the property is
within the limits of construction and is abutting, then temporary signage will be allowed per the specifications of this code.
3. If a parcel is located two lots away from the public construction, does it qualify for the temporary sandwich board signage?
Response: Yes, if within the limits of construction. ,
4. If construction is occurring on the west side of the street, does this mean that businesses on the east side of the street can
have sandwich boards signs displayed?
Response: Yes, if within the limits of construction.
5. How is signage allowed when a project is divided into a number of individual construction phases, and a phase might take
less than 180 days to complete? Response: If the project phase takes less than 180 days, then no temporary sandwich board
signage would be allowed.
6. "If multiple businesses are listed on the same sign, may the sign be displayed until the last business closes for the day even
though other businesses listed on the sign have closed earlier?" Response: Yes.
We recognize that when a bid is let for a particular project, that the limits of construction will indicate where temporary signage can
occur. We also recognize that physical work will not start everywhere at once.
Again, thank you for your inquiry. Please contact me with any other questions or concerns that you might have

Subject: RE ordinance TA2006-03002
As per our discussion, the Clearwater Beach Chamber of Commerce has questions concerning the following items in the
proposed ordinance:
Section 3, Article 3, Y;
We are questioning the verbiage "abutting public construction projects" and "the 180 day or longer" criteria. We are asking
for your definition of the term "abutting." If the proposed signs can only be used on our property when physical construction
is taking place on our parcel or physically touching our parcel, how would they be visible and what use would they be? If
construction is taking place 2 parcels down from ours thereby disrupting pedestrian and vehicle traffic, we would not be
allowed to have signage but it would be necessary to advertise that we are still open for business.
If construction is occurring on the west side of the street, does this mean businesses on the east side of the street cannot
have sandwich boards signs displayed?
The Coronado project has been divided into several construction phases, the first commencing between 3rd and 5th street.
'If that section of the phase is not to take at least 180 days, does that mean that no sandwich board signs will be allowed at
all? Looking at the proposed phases of the Coronado project, if each phase took longer than 180 days, this would result in
the project going past the set time schedule.
Section 3, Article 3, Y;
Subsection 5 - If multiple businesses are listed on the same sign, may the sign be displayed until the last business closes
for the day even though other businesses listed on the sign have closed earlier?
When we first requested the opportunity to have sandwich boards and through all the subsequent meetings that were held,
none of the conditions contained in the proposed ordinance were ever discussed.
It was our understanding that sign boards would be allowed in the Beachwalk construction area for the duration of
Beachwalk construction. The only limitation ever discussed was that the north beach area could not have signs because
they were not being impacted by the construction.
We would appreciate clarification.

Dear Property & Business Owners,
The City of Clearwater is a community that recognizes the importance of "quality of life"
and "sense of place" for all of its residents and visitors. In order to preserve the city as a
desirable community in which to live, vacation, and do business, an attractive urban
environment is of foremost importance. The regulation of signs within the city is a highly
contributive means by which to achieve this desired end.
We have notices an overwhelming number of businesses displaying unsightly temporary
signs on portable flagpoles. The City of Clearwater will only allow these signs to be
permitted and displayed during an active temporary use permit or as a temporary grand
opening sign for 30 days after the issuance of an occupational license for a new
business. If not applied to the temporary use permit conditions stated, the signs will be
in violation of the City's Code of Ordinances and subject to enforcement procedures.
A recent inspection of your property has found your property/business to be displaying
prohibited portable or temporary signs.
This is your courtesy notification to please discontinue the display of portable or temporary
signs by compliance date of April 17, 2006.
Our goal is to achieve voluntary compliance through education, communication, and
cooperation. The City of Clearwater requests your cooperation and display of community
spirit by taking corrective action on this issue in a timely manner.
If you have questions concerning this matter please call Sign Inspector Mary Jo Fox at
727-562-4726.
Sincerely,
Bob Hall
