The Department of Environmental Protection ("Department") gives notice of agency action of entering into a Consent Order with CITY OF CLEARWATER PUBLIC UTILITIES pursuant to section 120.57(4), Florida Statutes. The Consent Order addresses the unauthorized discharges of approximately 9 million gallons of untreated domestic wastewater; unauthorized discharges of approximately 47 million gallons of partially treated domestic wastewater; the failure to maintain and operate equipment as intended; the failure to report noncompliance events to the Department; and discharging inadequately treated wastewater through the permitted surface water outfalls, at 1605 Harbor Dr, Clearwater, Florida; 3141 Gulf to Bay Blvd, Clearwater, Florida; and 3290 S.R. 580, Safety Harbor, Florida.

Persons who are not parties to this Consent Order, but whose substantial interests are affected by it, have a right to petition for an administrative hearing under sections 120.569 and120.57, Florida Statutes. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition concerning this Consent Order means that the Department's final action may be different from the position it has taken in the Consent Order.

The petition for administrative hearing must contain all of the following information:

1. The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known;
2. The name, address, any e-mail address, any facsimile number, and telephone number of the petitioner, if the petitioner is not represented by an attorney or a qualified representative; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination;
3. A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision;
4. A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate;
5. A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action;
6. A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and
7. A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency's proposed action.

The petition must be filed (received) at the Department's Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS# 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000 or received via electronic correspondence at Agency Clerk@floridadep.gov, within 21 days of receipt of this notice. A copy of the petition must also be mailed at the time of filing to the District Office at 13051 N Telecom Pkwy, Temple Terrace, FL. Failure to file a petition within the 21-day period constitutes a person's waiver of the right to request an administrative hearing and to participate as a party to this proceeding under sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. Within 10- days after filing a petition, a person whose substantial interests are affected by this Consent Order may choose to pursue mediation as an alternative remedy under section 120.573, Florida Statutes. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect such person's right to an administrative hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement. Additional information about the mediation process and procedure is provided in section 120.573, Florida Statutes and Rule 62-110.106(12), Florida Administrative Code.

NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY

CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

City of Clearwater General Fund for Clearwater Homeless Initiative

In 2012, the City of Clearwater (the “City”) launched its homeless initiative through the joint efforts of the City Manager’s Office; a consultant on homelessness, Dr. Robert Marbut; and the community development manager; which designated funding for five local homeless service providers. Since that time, the City has expanded its financial commitment to meet the increasing community need to combat homelessness with annual allocations now totaling $300,000.00.

Currently, the City intends to make available up to $300,000.00 in grant funds to support local non-profit organizations serving certain individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

Approved organizations are required to serve “qualifying populations”, which are defined as individuals and families who are homeless; persons who are at risk of homelessness; individuals or families fleeing domestic violence, human trafficking, or similar situations; persons at the greatest risk of housing instability including households with income below 30% of Area Median Income (“AMI”) or below 50% AMI if they meet federal criteria for “at risk of homelessness”; and veterans or veteran families who fall into any of the aforementioned categories.

Grant funds shall be used to support program services and activities that provide direct assistance to qualifying populations; prevent homelessness by stabilizing at-risk households; expand access to emergency shelter, transitional housing, or supportive services; and address barriers to stable housing such as case management, employment assistance, or supportive health services.

Individual grant amounts shall not exceed $100,000.00 per organization. Awards amounts will vary based on applications received, proposed services, and demonstrated need.

• Application Release Date: October 15, 2025
• Submission Locations:
  • In person: City of Clearwater Housing Division, 100 S. Myrtle Ave, Clearwater, FL 33756 (3^rd Floor); or

  Applications will be evaluated based on:

• Alignment with eligible populations and allowable uses of funds;
• Organizational capacity and experience servicing homeless or at risk populations;
• Demonstrated community need and measurable outcomes; and
• Ability to leveraging additional resources or partnerships.

Applications will be reviewed by a technical review committee on November 21, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. at 100 S Myrtle Ave, Clearwater FL 33756 (3^rd Floor), who will make a recommendation to the City Manager.

The City receives State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program funding from the State of Florida for use in implementing programs to produce and preserve affordable housing for very low- to moderate-income families.

The duties of the AHAC are to recommend specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate the production and preservation of affordable housing and to present their recommendations to City Council. The purpose of these public hearings is to receive comments from the public on the following incentive strategies to be considered by the AHAC:

1. The processing of approvals of development orders or permits for affordable housing projects is expedited to a greater degree than other projects, as provided in s. 163.3177(6)(f)3.
2. All allowable fee waivers provided for the development or construction of affordable housing.
3. The allowance of flexibility in densities for affordable housing.

8. The modification of street requirements for affordable housing.
9. The establishment of a process by which a local government considers, before adoption, policies, procedures, ordinances, regulations, or plan provisions that increase the cost of housing.
10. The preparation of a printed inventory of locally owned public lands suitable for affordable housing.
11. The support of development near transportation hubs and major employment centers and mixed-use developments.

The AHAC recommendations may also include other affordable housing incentives as considered for recommendation by the AHAC during their public hearing. At the City Council public hearing, the City Council will consider the recommendations of the AHAC. The City Council may approve, revise, or reject the AHAC recommendations.

A draft Local Housing Incentive Strategies (LHIS) report, including the incentives considered for recommendation by the AHAC, will be available by November 5, 2025, for public viewing at www.myclearwater.com/housing.

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.

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.

This ordinance makes necessary changes to the city’s plat process to address Senate Bill 1080 (2025), An Act Relaing to Local Government Land Regulation, which , among other changes, revises certain procedures and timeframes municipalities follow when processing development applications and orders; amendments to the Code are needed to comply with those statutory changes. Additional amendments revise references to Level One (Minimum Standard) and description of process to accurately reflect how such applications are processed, as they have traditionally been processed as Building Permits only, not separate planning applications as originally described in the Community Development Code. Further changes are proposed which clarify the timeframe of validity for a development order during the building permit application process.

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 for; and

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

These changes are not expected to have a direct economic impact on any private, for-profit businesses in the city including the following: direct compliance costs; new charges or fees; regulatory costs of the city from charges or fees imposed; or other direct economic impacts on other private, for-profit businesses within the city. No fees are being established or modified, and any timeframes for review are being modified to comply with applicable statutes.
