Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM 8. Administrative Public Hearings 8.1 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Estate (RE) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) District for 1790 McCauley Road; and pass Ordinances 8865-16, 8866-16 and 8867-16 on first reading. (ANX2016-02004) This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 1.25 acres. The parcel is occupied by a single family dwelling and is located on the west side of McCauley Road approximately 1,000 feet south of Sunset Point Road. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City. The property is not contiguous to existing city limits; however, it is in an enclave surrounded by city property on all sides (Type A) and is eligible for annexation pursuant to the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement with Pinellas County. It is proposed that the property be assigned a Page 5
Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Estate (RE) and the zoning category of Low Density Residential (LDR). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: The property currently receives water and sanitary sewer service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 48 located at 1700 North Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code. Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request. The proposed Residential Estate (RE) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. The Residential Estate (RE) designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 1 unit per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Density Residential (LDR). The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the Low Density Residential (LDR) District and the property exceeds the District s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan Page 6
and the City s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and The property proposed for annexation is not contiguous to City boundaries but is located in a Type A Enclave; therefore, the annexation is consistent with the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement authorized by Florida Statutes Chapter 171.204. One individual spoke in opposition. In response to questions, the City Attorney said the item before the Council is a type A enclave annexation. The City has the ability to annex the property until proven otherwise. The City Manager said if annexed, the City will receive the property taxes to pay for the police calls required at the location. Planning and Development Director Michael Delk said the request before Council is consistent with the statutory allowance provided to the City. There are several hundred properties in the area that will be annexed during the next few years. The City of Clearwater is the established urban service provider in the area. Many of the voluntary annexation requests received are for solid waste services. Councilmember Caudell moved to approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Estate (RE) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) District for 1790 McCauley Road.

(ATA2016-02001) The Public Utilities Department expanded sewer service into the Idlewild/The Mall neighborhood located generally east of Douglas Avenue and west of Kings Highway, north of Sunset Point Road and south of Union Street. A significant number of properties within the project boundaries were in unincorporated Pinellas County. Since 2013, 115 properties have voluntarily annexed into the City as a result of this project, which was completed in August 2015. The Planning and Development Department has identified an additional 13 parcels in the Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project area with recorded ATAs that can be annexed into the City (see concurrent cases ATA2016-02002 and ATA2016-02003). This application includes nine of those properties that had agreements recorded between 2013 and 2015. The subject properties are occupied by nine detached dwellings on 1.289 acres of land. All properties are contiguous to existing city limits along at least one property boundary. The Development Review Committee is proposing that 2.345-acres of right-of-way not currently within the City also be annexed, including portions of Aloha Lane, Poinsetta Avenue, Sheridan Road, Douglas Avenue and Union Street.

The properties will be assigned the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) zoning category, while 1915 Macomber Avenue will also be assigned the Preservation (P) zoning category. The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: All of the properties currently receive water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the properties by the City. Eight of the parcels have already been connected to the City s sanitary sewer system. The owner of the remaining parcel, 1212 Sheridan Road, is aware that the City s sewer impact and assessment fees must Page 12
be paid in full in order to connect and of the financial incentives available. The properties are located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to these properties by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve these properties with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code. Policy A.7.1.3: Invoke agreements to annex where properties located within enclaves meet the contiguity requirements of Florida Statutes Chapter 171. Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of these properties. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The Preservation (P) future Land Use category on 1915 Macomber Avenue is consistent with the current Preservation (P) boundary which was placed on the Countywide Plan Map to recognize the watershed and drainage features on the property. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the properties is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District, while 1915 Macomber Avenue will also be assigned the Preservation (P) District. The use of the subject properties is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and eight of the properties exceed the District s minimum dimensional requirements. The property located at 1915 Macomber Avenue meets the District s minimum dimensions through the Flexible Development requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing City limits along at least one property boundary. Therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044. Councilmember Caudell moved to approve the annexation, initial Page 13

Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The parcel has already been connected to the City s sanitary sewer system. The property is located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to these properties by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve this property with solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code. Policy A.7.1.3: Invoke agreements to annex where properties located within enclaves meet the contiguity requirements of Florida Statutes Chapter 171. Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City s tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the Page 17
property is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the property exceeds the District s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west. Therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044. Councilmember Caudell moved to approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) for 1224 Sunset Point Road and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District; together with certain Sunset Point Road right-of-way. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Ordinance 8853-16 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Cundiff moved to pass Ordinance 8853-16 on first reading. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was: Ordinance 8854-16 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Hamilton moved to pass Ordinance 8854-16 on first reading.

side of Grove Drive approximately 330 feet north of State Road 590. The property is located within an enclave and is contiguous to existing city boundaries to the north, south, east and west. Second reading of this annexation request was delayed because the applicant was constructing a single family home on this parcel under the County s jurisdiction. The construction has been completed and a Certificate of Occupancy issued so second reading can now take place. A Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) were approved for the property on first reading. Due to the amount of time that has lapsed since that hearing, new ordinance numbers have been assigned to reflect the current year (previous Ordinance numbers: 8627-15, 8628-15 and 8629-15), so a third and final reading will also be scheduled at the May 5, 2016 meeting.

Clearwater Christian College Private School, Inc., the property owner, Page 21
previously requested amendments to the City s Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas, which were approved by City Council in October 2010 (LUZ2010-06002). The 2010 amendments increased the amount of area designated Institutional (I) on the City s Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas (expanded Institutional area) in order to accommodate growth of the college. Concurrent with the map amendments, City Council also approved a development agreement, which establishes a master plan for the developed portion of the property, and sets forth certain encumbrances as outlined below (DVA2010-06001, as amended). The property owner has received several extensions to the development agreement in order to seek approval of the final jurisdictional line as required in the agreement, with the most recent extension providing until January 23, 2017 to receive such approval. The City has entered into contract negotiations to purchase approximately 111 acres of property from Clearwater Christian College, including a large portion, which is governed by the Development Agreement, as amended. Purchasing the property would create an opportunity for the City to provide water quality benefits to Tampa Bay, an impaired waterbody with a federally-recognized Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Nitrogen, through future water quality improvement projects. While the projects envisioned will differ from those outlined within the agreement as part of the Mitigation Plan, the overall outcome and Bay benefits realized will be the same. The City would like to remove the encumbrances in place through the development agreement prior to purchasing the property from the college. For this reason, the City and college are requesting a mutual, conditional termination of the development agreement, conditioned upon the City s purchase of a portion of the college s land. Additionally, the purchase contract is subject to the termination of the development agreement. Key provisions of the agreement, as amended, are highlighted below: Establishes a Master Plan Area (28.55 acres) and a Mitigation Area (102.5 acres); Restricts development of the property to a maximum of 750 dormitory beds and a maximum FAR of 0.169; Requires the Developer to seek approval from the appropriate state and federal agencies (Southwest Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) for an approved mitigation plan in the Mitigation Plan Area prior to the issuance of land clearing and building permits; Requires the City to process the amendments to the future land use map and zoning designations under LUZ2010-06002; and Requires that, in the event of termination, the property be returned to its current future land use map and zoning designations (prior to LUZ2010-06002) Page 22
Termination of a Development Agreement: The and Clearwater Christian College are requesting a mutual, conditional termination of the development agreement, conditioned upon the City s purchase of a portion of the college s land, pursuant to section 163.3237, Florida Statutes.
