PROPOSED PROGRAM YEAR 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD & PUBLIC HEARINGS

The City of Clearwater is hereby publishing the proposed Annual Action Plan (AAP) for Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 to allocate federal funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The AAP identifies projects and activities to be implemented by the City during FY 2024, which begins on October 1, 2024, and ends on September 30, 2025. In addition to the entitlement grant, funding allocations also include anticipated program income generated by the City’s Revolving Loan Fund as well as prior-year (i.e., carryover) resources from projects that were either cancelled or completed under budget to be applied toward new projects. CDBG funds are used to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities to principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HOME funds are used to foster private sector partnerships with for-profit and non-profit organizations to develop affordable housing.

The City of Clearwater anticipates an estimated $940,482 in new CDBG funds, $1,310,415 in CDBG program income, and $367,097 in prior-year CDBG resources. The City also anticipates an estimated $400,222 in new HOME funds, $1,706,038 in HOME program income, and $2,791,413 in prior-year HOME resources. These funds will be programmed to eligible activities under these grant programs.

The list below captures all proposed projects to be funded with CDBG and HOME resources in FY 2024. Funding for these and other projects are estimated resources only and funding amounts may increase or decrease based upon actual program income, prior-year adjustments, and/or final federal funding allocations. Due to these and other factors, the City of Clearwater reserves the right to add or delete projects and/or adjust funding allocations proportionally.

The public comment period begins on June 9, 2024, and ends on July 8, 2024. Please send any comments to Chuck Lane, Assistant Director, City of Clearwater Economic Development and Housing Department, P.O. Box 4748, Clearwater, FL 33758-4748 or via telephone at (727) 444-7489 or via email at Charles.Lane@myclearwater.com before 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 2024.

Currently, Community Development Code Section C-705 sets forth the allowable sign area, number, and types of signs. Table 6 specifies that 10% of window signage on each first-floor window and glass door opening is permitted. The proposed revision would allow window signs to equal 25% of each first-floor window or window grouping.

Business Impact Estimate 

ORDINANCE NO. 9817-25

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA MAKING AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING CHAPTER 22; ARTICLE 2; BY ADDING SECTION 22.61 TO ADDRESS THE USE OF MOTORIZED BICYCLES, ELECTRIC BICYCLES, HOVERBOARDS, MOTORIZED UNICYCLES, MOTORIZED SCOOTERS AND SIMILAR MOTORIZED DEVICES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

This Business Impact Estimate is provided in accordance with section 166.041(4), Florida Statutes. This Business Impact Estimate may be revised following its initial posting. In accordance with the provisions of controlling law, the City of Clearwater hereby publishes the following information:

1. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals and welfare):

Proposed Ordinance No. 9817-25 will add a new section to the Code of Ordinances which will preclude the use of any ebike, motorized bicycle, hoverboard, unicycle and scooter or similar device, excluding any medically necessary conveyances in, on or through any City-owned, -controlled and/or -maintained  beach or  park and  the entirety of Beach Walk excluding those areas specifically designated for vehicular traffic such as parking lots, street rights-of-way, driveways and/or drive aisles.     This amendment is the result of public input noting that motorized vehicles have been creating an unsafe environment in our parks and beaches due to the relatively high rate of speed easily achieved by these devices.  The prohibition of these devices will result in an increase in patron safety.     

2. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in the [City/Town/Village], if any:

(a) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur;

(b) Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be financially responsible; and

(c) An estimate of the [City’s/Town’s/Village’s] regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs.

Staff believes that there will be no direct compliance cost that any business will incur.  There are not charges or fees imposed by the ordinance and it is expected that there will likewise be no regulatory costs nor will there be any revenues of any kind.

3. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinance:

Because this ordinance will merely prohibit the use of any ebike, motorized bicycle, hoverboard, unicycle and scooter or similar device, excluding any medically necessary conveyances in, on or through any City-owned, -controlled and/or -maintained beach or park and the entirety of Beach Walk excluding those areas specifically designated for vehicular traffic such as parking lots, street rights-of-way, driveways and/or drive aisles staff does not anticipate that any businesses will be impacted by the ordinance.  The use of these devices is permitted on trails and within any specifically designated for vehicular traffic such as parking lots, street rights-of-way, driveways and/or drive aisles.     

4. Additional information the governing body deems useful (if any):

[You may wish to include in this section the methodology or data used to prepare the Business Impact Estimate. For example: [City/Town/Village] staff solicited comments from businesses in the [City/Town/Village] as to the potential impact of the proposed ordinance by contacting the chamber of commerce, social media posting, direct mail or direct email, posting on [City/Town/Village] website, public workshop, etc. You may also wish to include efforts made to reduce the potential fiscal impact on businesses. You may also wish to state here that the proposed ordinance is a generally applicable ordinance that applies to all persons similarly situated (individuals as well as businesses) and, therefore, the proposed ordinance does not affect only businesses)

1. Proposed Ordinance title:

ORDINANCE NO. 9805-25

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA MAKING AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE BY AMENDING ARTICLE 3. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, DIVISION 12. LANDSCAPING/TREE PROTECTION, DIVISION 14. PARKING AND LOADING, AND DIVISION 15. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE STANDARDS; BY AMENDING ARTICLE 8. DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION, SECTION 8-102. DEFINITIONS; BY AMENDING APPENDIX A, SCHEDULE OF FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES, SECTION V. BUILDING AND BUILDING REGULATIONS; BY AMENDING APPENDIX B, US 19 ZONING DISTRICT AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, DIVISION 5. SITE DESIGN STANDARDS; CERTIFYING

CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PROPER ADVERTISEMENT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

2. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose, such as serving the public health, safety, morals, and welfare):

This ordinance establishes standards for the installation of artificial turf within the city’s landscape code, including: where it can be installed; design / material standards; permitting via building permit which can be applied for by a contractor, professional installer, or homeowner; installation standards, such as those that must be met for artificial turf to be treated as pervious, and how tree preservation will be handled; maintenance requirements; and how existing artificial turf installation will be handled (allowed to stay). The city’s Community Development Code is a redevelopment code, and beautification of the city is a high priority, as is the preservation of natural resources and the aesthetic character of the community for both the resident and tourist populations.

3. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit business in the City of Clearwater, if any:

a. An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur;

Outside of the cost for the materials and installation in a code-compliant manner, direct costs include the payment of an artificial turf permit fee (new) and a right-of-way permit fee (existing), applicable if artificial turf is proposed to be installed within the right-of-way. Businesses who wish to install artificial turf are anticipated to primarily use professional installers or contractors, but this is not a cost incurred only because of this ordinance.

b. Any new charge or fee imposed by the proposed ordinance or for which businesses will be financially responsible for; and

The proposed artificial turf permit fee is $200.00. Current right-of-way permit fees are $25.00 for residential properties and $125.00 for commercial properties.

c. An estimate of the City of Clearwater’s regulatory costs, including estimated revenues from any new charges or fees to cover such costs.

The city does not project that this new regulation will generate revenue, as that is not the intent for this ordinance change. The proposed artificial turf permit fee is expected to cover staff review time, which will involve representatives from land resources (arborists), engineering and zoning, as well as final inspection to confirm proper installation. Support staff, including permit technicians, will assist with permit processing.

To ensure artificial turf is being maintained properly or is brought into compliance, code inspector time may be needed in the long term; however, this will be addressed by the existing staff as part of their daily work.

4. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the proposed ordinances:

An estimated 5-10 businesses in the first year may apply to install artificial turf, with others in upcoming years.

5. Additional information the governing body deems useful (is any):

This ordinance was developed with the assistance of persons in the artificial turf industry. Additionally, city staff researched what other jurisdictions currently require as a foundation for certain proposed standards. Staff also gained insights from those regarding what they might seek to modify if given the opportunity so that their requirements functioned better for all parties (city and property owners). This ordinance is intended to provide clear standards without creating an undue burden of process. This is captured in the proposed approach to permitting, installation, and inspections.
