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. The Consent Order is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest District, 13051 N Telecom Pkwy, Temple Terrace, FL.

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 and 120.57, 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.

In addition to the entitlement grant, funding allocations 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. The City of Clearwater anticipates an estimated $925,886 in new CDBG funds, $52,900 in CDBG program income, and $367,673 in prior-year CDBG resources. The City also anticipates an estimated $383,226 in new HOME funds, $2,416,313 in HOME program income, and $2,591,861 in prior-year HOME resources. These funds will be programmed to eligible activities under these grant programs.

The list below, organized by strategic goal, captures all proposed projects to be funded with CDBG and HOME resources in FY 2025. 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.

1. Proposed Ordinance title:

ORDINANCE NO. 9860-26

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, MAKING AMENDMENTS TO THE CLEARWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY AMENDING THE QUALITY PLACES CHAPTER TO ESTABLISH A NEW PLANNED REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PRD) OVERLAY FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY WHICH SETS FORTH RESIDENTIAL, NONRESIDENTIAL, MIXED-USE AND IMPERVIOUS SURFACE RATIO (ISR) BONUSES; AMEND THE RESIDENTIAL LOW (RL), RESIDENTIAL URBAN (RU), RESIDENTIAL LOW MEDIUM (RLM), RESIDENTIAL HIGH (RH), RESIDENTIAL/OFFICE GENERAL (R/OG), COMMERCIAL GENERAL (CG), AND INSTITUTIONAL (I) FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES TO INCORPORATE BONUSES FOR QUALIFYING DEVELOPMENT IN THE PLANNED REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OVERLAY; ADD POLICIES REQUIRING THE PORTIONS OF THE NORTH GREENWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA (CRA) BE DESIGNATED WITH PLANNED REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OVERLAY ON THE

FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND REFERRING TO A NEW NORTH GREENWOOD DISTRICT ON THE ZONING ATLAS; ADD POLICIES ADDRESSING NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES AND PROVIDE FOR TERMINATION OF NONCONFORMITIES THROUGH A PROCESS ESTABLISHED IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE; UPDATE EXISTING POLICIES FOR CONSISTENCY WITH CHANGES;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):

Ordinance No. 9860-26 amends Clearwater 2045, the City’s Comprehensive Plan, to establish a Planned Redevelopment District (PRD) Overlay future land use category and related bonus density, intensity, and impervious surface ratio provisions, and to adopt North Greenwood implementation policies that support reinvestment consistent with the adopted North Greenwood Community Redevelopment Area Plan. The PRD Overlay is intended to be applied only in areas that have completed special planning for the geographic area, and this ordinance provides the policy basis for North Greenwood by enabling the PRD Overlay within specified future land use categories. Use of PRD bonuses would be voluntary. Property owners could continue to develop under existing standards, and only projects that choose to use PRD bonuses would be subject to additional requirements established through forthcoming implementing regulations.

In addition, the ordinance includes limited citywide Comprehensive Plan policy updates related to nonconformities to provide policy support for procedures already established in the Community Development Code, including provisions that address nonconforming lots, uses, and structures and processes for termination of nonconforming status. The public purpose of the ordinance is to promote the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare by providing Comprehensive Plan direction to support targeted revitalization, compatible infill and redevelopment, and a more predictable framework for reinvestment consistent with the community’s vision for North Greenwood, while strengthening policy consistency for existing development processes citywide.

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;

Ordinance No. 9860-26 is a Comprehensive Plan text amendment that establishes policy direction and creates optional PRD Overlay bonus provisions. The ordinance does not mandate new development, require existing businesses to modify operations, or impose new performance standards on private, for-profit businesses. Accordingly, no direct compliance costs are anticipated as a result of this ordinance. Businesses and property owners that voluntarily elect to pursue future redevelopment using PRD bonuses may incur normal project-related costs associated with development review and compliance with applicable Community Development Code requirements adopted through separate implementing actions, but those costs would be associated with a voluntary development choice rather than a required compliance obligation created by this ordinance.

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

3

The proposed ordinance does not establish any new charges, assessments, or fees for private, for-profit businesses. It does not modify existing fee schedules, impose new permit fees, or create a new financial obligation for businesses.

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 proposed ordinance does not create a new regulatory program or ongoing enforcement requirement and does not establish new charges or fees intended to generate revenue. Any City administrative costs are expected to be limited to standard staff time associated with processing, transmitting, and adopting the Comprehensive Plan amendment through the required review procedures. The City does not anticipate new revenues from this ordinance because it does not impose new fees or charges.

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

Ordinance No. 9860-26 is a Comprehensive Plan text amendment that establishes policy direction and makes PRD Overlay bonus provisions available on an optional basis through future implementing actions. The ordinance does not impose requirements on existing businesses and does not mandate redevelopment or operational changes. As a result, the number of private, for-profit businesses likely to be directly impacted by this ordinance is not readily quantifiable and is expected to be minimal. Businesses and property owners within the North Greenwood CRA, particularly along the North Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue corridor and other nonresidential and mixed-use areas, may choose to pursue reinvestment or redevelopment in the future and could potentially utilize the optional PRD bonuses where the overlay is applied and where implementing regulations allow. The PRD Overlay would be available within specified future land use categories in North Greenwood, including Residential/Office General, Commercial General, Institutional, and Industrial Limited, as applicable, as well as residential categories where the overlay is applied.

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

Ordinance No. 9860-26 is intended to support revitalization and reinvestment consistent with the adopted North Greenwood CRA Plan by providing an incentive-based tool rather than creating new compliance obligations for existing businesses. The PRD Overlay bonus provisions are intended to be “opt-in.” Property owners may continue to develop under existing regulations, and only projects that elect to use PRD bonuses would be subject to additional requirements adopted through separate implementing actions. The ordinance enables the PRD Overlay within specified future land use categories in North Greenwood, including Residential Low, Residential Urban, Residential Low Medium, Residential Medium, Residential High, Residential/Office General, Commercial General, Institutional, and Industrial Limited, as applicable.

Staff is requesting minor revisions on first reading so the PRD Overlay bonus provisions will not apply to parcels designated Industrial Limited (IL).

1. Proposed Ordinance title:

ORDINANCE NO. 9861-26

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY, TO APPLY THE PLANNED REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PRD) OVERLAY AS AN OVERLAY CATEGORY IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL LOW (RL), RESIDENTIAL URBAN (RU), RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM (RM), RESIDENTIAL HIGH (RH), COMMERCIAL GENERAL (CG), INSTITUTIONAL (I), RESIDENTIAL/OFFICE GENERAL (R/OG), AND INDUSTRIAL LIMITED (IL) FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES FOR CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF LAND KNOWN AS THE NORTH GREENWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA (CRA), AND EXCLUDING THOSE PORTIONS OF THE NORTH GREENWOOD CRA WHICH ARE DESIGNATED WITH THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD), RECREATION/OPEN SPACE (R/OS), PRESERVATION (P), AND WATER FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES, AS MORE

SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED IN ATTACHED EXHIBIT “A” AND AS DEPICTED IN ATTACHED EXHIBIT “B”, ALL WITHIN THE CITY OF CLEARWATER; 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):

The proposed ordinance amends the City of Clearwater Future Land Use Map to apply the Planned Redevelopment District (PRD) Overlay within the North Greenwood Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) boundary, as an overlay designation in addition to the underlying future land use categories. The ordinance excludes those portions designated Central Business District (CBD), which are governed by the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan, as well as areas designated Recreation/Open Space (R/OS), Preservation (P), and Water on the Future Land Use Map. Applying the PRD Overlay on the map is a policy implementation step that makes PRD bonus density and intensity options available on a voluntary basis in the designated area. The public purpose of the ordinance is to promote the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare by supporting targeted revitalization and reinvestment consistent with the adopted North Greenwood CRA Plan, providing a clear land use framework for compatible infill and redevelopment, and supporting a more predictable development process over time through follow-up implementing regulations and public review.

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;

The proposed Future Land Use Map ordinance applies the PRD Overlay designation to eligible properties within the amendment area. The ordinance does not require existing businesses to change operations, expand, relocate, or make physical improvements. As a map amendment, it does not mandate redevelopment and does not impose new operating requirements on private, for-profit businesses. Accordingly, no direct compliance costs are anticipated as a result of this ordinance. Businesses and property owners that voluntarily choose to pursue redevelopment and elect to use PRD bonus provisions may incur typical project-related costs associated with development review and meeting applicable Community Development Code requirements adopted through separate implementing actions, but those costs would be associated with a voluntary development choice rather than a required compliance obligation created by this map amendment.

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

The proposed ordinance does not establish any new charges, assessments, or fees for private, for-profit businesses. It does not modify existing fee schedules, impose new permit fees, or create a new financial obligation for businesses.

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 proposed ordinance does not establish new charges or fees intended to generate revenue. Any City regulatory costs are expected to be limited to standard staff time associated with processing, transmitting, and adopting the Future Land Use Map amendment through the required local, Countywide, and state review procedures. The City does not anticipate new revenues from this ordinance because it does not impose new fees or charges.

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

This ordinance is a legislative Future Land Use Map amendment that applies the PRD Overlay designation within the North Greenwood CRA as an optional tool and does not require existing businesses to take action or change operations. As a result, the number of private, for-profit businesses likely to be directly impacted by this ordinance is not readily quantifiable and is expected to be minimal. Businesses and property owners within the amendment area, particularly along the North Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue corridor and other nonresidential or mixed-use areas, may choose to pursue reinvestment or redevelopment in the future and could potentially utilize PRD bonuses where the overlay is applied and where implementing regulations allow.

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

This ordinance applies the PRD Overlay designation on the Future Land Use Map as an implementation step to support targeted revitalization and reinvestment consistent with the adopted North Greenwood CRA Plan. Use of PRD bonuses would be voluntary. Property owners may continue to develop under existing regulations, and only projects that elect to use PRD bonuses would be subject to additional requirements adopted through separate implementing actions, including future Community Development Code amendments.

Staff is requesting minor revisions on first reading to refine the PRD Overlay application area so it aligns with the scope of the companion implementing actions. Specifically, staff recommends removing application of the PRD Overlay to parcels designated Industrial Limited (IL) and removing the only parcel designated Transportation/Utility (T/U) within the North Greenwood CRA, which is the city-owned Marshall Street Water Reclamation Facility site. The Marshall Street site is an active utility facility, and any future redevelopment would require a separate planning effort and Future Land Use considerations at the appropriate time.
