Attachment C
Beach by Design Criteria
PARCEL “A”
A. Density:
Design Response:
The property is within the “T” District. The site’s 1.6 acres has a FLUP
designation of RFH which allows for 50 overnight accommodation units per
acre. The 1.6 Acres would permit a maximum of 80 units. We are requesting
100 OA units from the hotel Density Reserve. The resultant 180 unit request
results in an overall density on the site of 113 DU/acre. The Beach by Design
guidelines allows for a maximum of 150 units per acre for projects that obtain
units from the hotel density reserve; therefore, the proposed density is
consistent with the development criteria set forth in Section V.B.2 of the
guidelines.
B. Height:
Maximum height is prescribed by the respective zoning districts in the
Community Development Code unless otherwise restricted by Beach by
Design. The height may be increased, however, to one hundred fifty feet
(150’) if:
1. additional density is allocated to the development either by
transferred development rights, or via the Destination Resort Density
Pool pursuant to the CRD designation, or via the Hotel Density
Reserve where the subject property is located between South
Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico or on the west side of
Coronado Drive;
Design Response
The proposal provides for a building 140 feet in height as measured from BFE
where a height of up to 150 feet is permitted where additional density is
allocated to a development via the Hotel Density Reserve as long as the
subject property is located between South Gulfview Boulevard and the Gulf of
Mexico or on the west side of Coronado Drive. The subject property is located
on the west side of Coronado Drive and the property was the recipient of
density from the Reserve. Therefore, the proposed height complies with the
design guidelines.
2. portions of any structures which exceed one hundred feet (100') are
spaced at least one hundred feet (100') apart (with no more than two
(2) structures which exceed one hundred feet (100') within five
hundred feet (500'); or four (4) structures which exceed one hundred
1
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
feet (100') within eight hundred feet (800') so long as the elevations
of all structures which exceed one hundred feet (100') when such
structures are viewed from the east do not occupy a total of forty
percent (40%) of a north south vertical plane which is parallel to the
alignment of Coronado and North Mandalay of the building envelope
above one hundred feet (100'); and
Design Response
The Hyatt Hotel, to the north of the property is over 100 feet in height.
Proposed building is 140 feet approximately 300 feet from the Hyatt Towers.
Additionally The Hyatt is the only building within 500 feet that is over 100 feet
tall. The new Adams Mark site to the south is slated to be over 100feet and is
approximately 900 feet from the site. The proposed Wyndham property to the
north is within the 800 foot distance parameter but is over 500 feet from our
proposed building. Therefore, per the currently planned and approved
buildings in the vicinity, there will be no more than two structures over 100
feet in height within 500 feet and there will be no more than four structures
over 100 feet tall within the 800 feet.
3. the floorplate of any portion of a building that exceeds forty-five feet
(45') in height is limited as follows:
a) between forty-five feet (45') and one hundred feet (100'), the
floorplate will be no greater than 25,000 square feet except for
parking structures open to the public; and
b) Between one hundred feet (100') and one hundred fifty feet (150'),
the floorplate will be no greater than 10,000 square feet; and
c) Deviations to the above floorplate requirements may be approved
provided the mass and scale of the design creates a tiered effect
and complies with the maximum building envelop allowance
above 45’ as described in section C. 1.4 below
Design Response
a. Between 45 feet in height and 100’ there is no part of the floorplate that
exceeds 25,000 square feet.
b. The floorplate above 100 feet is approximately 11,500 SF. This exceeds
the 10,000 square foot guideline however,
c. The mass and scale of the design creates a stepped and tiered effect and
the proposed building envelope above 45 feet is 21.24% volumetrically
and 13% graphically; significantly below the 75% building envelope
allowance for buildings with units allocated from the Hotel Pool.
C. Design, Scale and Mass of Building:
1. Buildings with a footprint of greater than 5000 square feet or a single
dimension of greater than one hundred (100) feet will be constructed
so that no more than two (2) of the three (3) building dimensions in
2
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
the vertical or horizontal planes are equal in length. For this purpose,
equal in length means that the two lengths vary by less than forty
(40%) of the shorter of the two (2) lengths. The horizontal plan
measurements relate to the footprint of the building.
Design Response:
Given the massing of the building, the various steppings, and the tower
placed in the approximate center of the base, no two building dimensions are
equal in length.
2. No plane of a building may continue uninterrupted for greater than
one hundred linear feet (100’). For the purpose of this standard,
interrupted means an offset of greater than five feet (5’).
Design Response:
As demonstrated on the design drawings, each of the building facades is
designed such that no plane is longer than 100 feet and all offsets are greater
than, or equal to, five feet; there by meeting this requirement.
3. At least sixty percent (60%) of any elevation will be covered with
windows or architectural decoration. For the purpose of this
standard, an elevation is that portion of a building that is visible from
a particular point outside the parcel proposed for development.
Design Response:
As demonstrated in this application, where viewable from adjacent properties
and not occluded by adjacent buildings, this design proposes large fields of
glazing, balconies, accent lines, and stepped articulation on all facades
providing for greater than 60% articulation on each of the facades.
4. No more than sixty percent (60%) of the theoretical maximum
building envelope located above forty-five feet (45’) will be occupied
by a building. However, in those instances where an overnight
accommodations use on less than 2.0 acres that has been allocated
additional density via the Hotel Density Reserve, no more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the theoretical maximum building
envelope located above forty-five feet (45’) may be occupied by a
building unless the property is located between Gulfview Boulevard
and the Gulf of Mexico, then no more than 70% may be occupied by a
building.
Design Response:
As per the provided calculations the overall building mass between 45 feet
and 150 feet constitutes 21% volumetrically and 13% graphically of the
theoretical maximum building envelope, well below the 75% maximum
allowance.
3
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
5. The height and mass of buildings will be correlated to: (1) the
dimensional aspects of the parcel of the parcel proposed for
development and (2) adjacent public spaces such as streets and
parks.
Design Response:
The design proposes a tower set on a parking base or podium. The tower is
to be massed in the approximate center of the site between Coronado Drive
and Beach Walk with the parking podium varying in height between one story
and 4 stories. Along Coronado Drive the building is set back 15 feet and also
steps back the requisite additional 15 feet at a height of 25 feet. Along
Coronado Drive most of the building consists of the single story elevated
entry plaza and the remaining portions is the four story mass of the garages
and meeting room levels. Approximately 75% of the building is stepped back
the 15 feet, along this façade. On the west, Beach Walk, side, a 0 foot
setback is proposed. This setback aligns with the Hyatt and the City parking
garage to the north. Along the west façade approximately 50% of the building
is the single story entry plaza and the remainder of the building is a 2nd story
covered terrace, connecting to the entry plaza two levels of parking, and the
5th floor pool terrace with an infinity edge pool, overlooking the Gulf. The bulk
of the building is placed to the north and adjoins the City parking garage, and
the building at the south is primarily the entry plaza with a narrow face of the
tower. Beyond the design’s sensitivity to the adjacent neighbors, Coronado
Drive and Beach Walk, the design provides for a 90 foot wide by three story
opening in the base of the tower to allow vistas through the site, visually and
physically connecting street and buildings to the east with the beach and Gulf
to the west.
6. Buildings may be designed for a vertical or horizontal mix of
permitting uses.
Design Response:
The building is designed to provide opportunity for a variety of uses, including
meeting spaces, dining, and recreation activities, as well as the primary
overnight accommodation use.
D. Setbacks & Stepbacks:
1. Rights-of-way.
The area between the building and the edge of the pavement as
existing and planned should be sufficiently wide to create a
pedestrian-friendly environment. The distances from structures to
the edge of the right-of-way should be:
4
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
Design Response:
Proposed setbacks are fifteen feet (15') along arterials, and (Proposed 15 foot
on Coronado Drive for an enclosed parking garage)
2. Side and Rear Setbacks
Except for the setbacks set forth above, no side or rear setback lines
are recommended, except as may be required to comply with the
City’s Fire Code.
Design Response:
10 foot setbacks are proposed for the side yards that because of the skewed
property lines, the side yards vary from a minimum of 10 feet to 15 feet. The
design proposes a 0 foot setback to the west property line, fronting the beach
Walk Promenade; the west property line is a significant distance from Gulf
view Boulevard and flanks the Beach Walk promenade. As stated above, the
west building face is designed to align with the two properties to the north,
providing continuity to the pedestrian experience along the promenade.
3. Coronado Drive Setbacks and Stepbacks.
To reduce upper story massing along the street and ensure a human
scale street environment, buildings using the hotel density reserve
along Coronado Drive shall be constructed in accordance with the
following:
a. Buildings constructed with a front setback of fifteen feet (15’) or
more shall stepback with a minimum depth of fifteen feet (15’)
from the setback line at a height not more than twenty-five feet
(25’).
Design Response:
The design proposes a minimum 15 foot setback along Coronado Drive and
approximately 75% of the building steps back the additional 15 feet at or
below the 25’ height. In fact, nearly 50% of the Coronado Drive building
frontage is less than 15’ in height. (Above BFE.)
b. Buildings constructed with a front setback greater than or equal
to ten feet (10’) and less than fifteen feet (15’) shall stepback at a
height not more than twenty feet (20’). The required stepback/
setback ratio is one and one-half feet (1.5’) for every one foot (1’)
reduction in setback in addition to the minimum stepback of
fifteen feet (15’).
Design Response:
N/A
5
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
c. Buildings constructed with a front setback of less than ten feet
(10’) shall provide a building stepback required stepback/ setback
ratio is two and one-half feet (2.5’) for every one foot (1’)
reduction in setback in addition to the minimum stepback of
fifteen feet (15’).
Design Response:
N/A
d. To achieve upper story facade variety and articulation, additional
stepbacks may be required.
To avoid a monotonous streetscape, a building shall not replicate
the stepback configuration of the neighboring buildings including
those across rights-of-way.
Design Response:
Currently along Coronado Drive, this design is the only project to propose the
required stebacks and stepbacks. Both the Hyatt and City Garage are
massed at their full heights along Coronado Drive.
e. Required stepbacks shall span a minimum of 75% of the building
frontage width.
Design Response:
The design provides for the required 75% stepback building frontage.
Approximately 75% of the Building Façade Steps back the required additional
15 feet, at 25’ height.
E. Street-Level Facades
The human scale and aesthetic appeal of street-level facades, and their
relationship to the sidewalk, are essential to a pedestrian-friendly
environment. Accordingly:
1. At least sixty percent (60%) of the street level facades of buildings
used for nonresidential purposes which abut a public street or
pedestrian access way will be transparent. For the purpose of this
standard:
a) Street level facade means that portion of a building facade from
ground level to a height of twelve feet (12').
Design Response:
The proposed design is open for the required minimum 60%.
6
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
b) transparent means windows or doors that allow pedestrians to
see into:
i. the building, or
ii. landscaped or hardscaped courtyard or plazas, where street
level facades are set back at least fifteen feet (15') from the
edge of the sidewalk and the area between the sidewalk and
the facade is a landscaped or hardscaped courtyard.
Design Response:
In addition to the required openings, the building is stepped back from a
minimum of 15 feet to over 20 feet; thereby the street level façade is
100% open, per the above definition b ii.
c) Parking structures should utilize architectural details and design
elements such a false recessed windows, arches, planter boxes,
metal grillwork, etc. instead of transparent alternatives. When a
parking garage abuts a public road or other public place, it will be
designed such that the function of the building is not readily
apparent except at points of ingress and egress.
Design Response:
The vehicles are shielded from view of pedestrians along Gulfview and
Coronado Drive and the garage openings are articulated and blended into the
overall building design. Along Coronado Boulevard and the Promenade the
garage openings are articulated by alternating solid panels or 48 inch high
barrier walls and the vehicles are further shielded by landscaping.
On the Promenade side, the garage openings are open, to provide ventilation,
but are again articulated with stepped back barrier panels in a pattern
complementary to the other building openings and rhythms.
On The Coronado Boulevard side, the garage openings are shielded by the
meeting room and are not readily visible.
Along the Northern side, the garage openings are left open and the vehicles
shielded but decorative recessed barrier panels, Also this façade directly
faces the new public parking garage. This parking structure follows some of
the design parameters of the adjacent new public parking garage.
2. Window coverings, and other opaque materials may cover no more
than 10% of the area of any street-level window in a nonresidential
building that fronts on a public right-of way.
Design Response:
As an operations issue, we will comply with the opaque opening provisions.
7
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
3. Building entrances should be aesthetically inviting and easily
identified. Goods for sale will not be displayed outside of a building,
except as a permitted temporary use. This standard does not apply
to outdoor food service establishments.
Design Response:
The Building entrance, on Coronado Drive, is defined by a horizontal entry
awning and a glass accent wall. The primary vehicular entrance, Extreme
South of the site shall be defined by signage, landscaping, and other visual
cues. The building’s primary entry and drop-off areas are on the elevated
entry plaza, with views to the Gulf and to Coronado.
4. Awnings and other structures that offer pedestrians cover from the
elements are recommended. Awnings help define entryways and
provide storefront identity to both pedestrians and drivers.
Design Response:
The primary entrance is designed to have an entry cover, there are no other
uses, other than parking, permitted on the ground floor.
F. Parking Areas
To create a well-defined and aesthetically appealing street boundary, all
parking areas will be separated from public rights of way by a
landscaped decorative wall, fence or other opaque landscape treatment
of not less than three feet (3’) and not more than three and one-half feet
(3½’) in height. Surface parking areas that are visible from public streets
or other public places will be landscaped such that the parking areas
are defined more by their landscaping materials than their paved areas
when viewed from adjacent property. The use of shade trees is
encouraged in parking lots. However, care should be taken to choose
trees that do not drop excessive amounts of leaves, flowers, or seeds
on the vehicles below. Entrances to parking areas should be clearly
marked in order to avoid confusion and minimize automobile-pedestrian
conflicts. Attractive signage and changes to the texture of the road
(such as pavers) are recommended. When a parking garage abuts a
public road or other public place, it will be designed such that the
function of the building is not readily apparent except at points of
ingress and egress.
Design Response:
Vehicles will be shielded on both the east and west public frontages, through
the use of landscaping and decorative louvers. Above the 3rd floor the
openings in the garage are intended to be left open with inset and decorative
barrier walls. The barrier walls shield the vehicles from public view. This
scheme is similar to the new City parking garage immediately to our north.
8
Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
G. Signage
Signage is an important contributor to the overall character of a place.
However, few general rules apply to signage. Generally, signage should
be creative, unique, simple, and discrete. Blade signs, banners and
sandwich boards should not be discouraged, but signs placed on the
sidewalk should not obstruct pedestrian traffic.
Design Response:
N/A
H.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks along arterials and retail streets should be at least ten feet
(10’) in width. All sidewalks along arterials and retail streets will be
landscaped with palm trees, spaced to a maximum of thirty-five feet (35')
on centers, with “clear grey” of not less than eight feet (8'). Acceptable
palm trees include sabal palms (sabal palmetto), medjool palms
(phoenix dactylifera ‘medjool’), and canary island date palms (phoenix
canariensis). Sidewalks along side streets will be landscaped with
palms (clear trunk of not less than eight feet (8')) or shade trees spaced
at maximum intervals of thirty five feet (35') on centers. Portions of
required sidewalks may be improved for non-pedestrian purposes
including outdoor dining and landscape material, provided that:
1. movement of pedestrians along the sidewalk is not obstructed; and
2. Non-pedestrian improvements and uses are located on the street
side of the sidewalk. Distinctive paving patterns should be used to
separate permanent sidewalk café improvements from the pedestrian
space on the sidewalk. To enhance pedestrian safety and calm
traffic, distinctive paving should also be used to mark crosswalks.
Design Response:
Proposed sidewalks will be, at a minimum, 10 feet wide and have a variety of
paver colors, styles, and patterns, as well as concrete to separate the café
and plaza areas.

Street Furniture and Bicycle Racks
Street furniture, including benches and trash receptacles should be
liberally placed along the sidewalks, at intervals no greater than thirty
linear feet (30') of sidewalk. Bicycle racks should also be provided,
especially near popular destinations, to promote transportation
alternatives. Complicated bicycle rack systems should be avoided. The

Rev. 04/07/2014 - 2
placement of street furniture and bicycle racks should not interrupt
pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk.
Design Response:
Street Benches and trash receptacles proposed along Coronado Drive and
adjacent to Beach shall enhance the streetscapes and shall not impede
pedestrian flow. There are bicycle racks planned along the Beach Walk
Promenade..
J. Street Lighting
Street lighting should respond to the pedestrian-oriented nature of a
tourist destination. In this context, it should balance the functional with
the attractive – providing adequate light to vehicular traffic, while
simultaneously creating intimate spaces along the sidewalks.
Clearwater’s historic lighting is an attractive, single-globe fixture atop a
cast-iron pole.
Design Response:
Lighting, when designed shall comply with the requirements of this provision.
This property is also required to comply with Turtle Friendly lighting
regulations.
K. Fountains
Fountains provide attractive focal points to public spaces and add
natural elements to urban environments. They should be interesting,
engaging and unique. While it is important not to overburden
architectural creativity regarding fountains, they should meet at least
the following standards in order to be a functional and attractive
component of the public space:
1. They should be supplemented with street furniture such as benches
and trash receptacles, and
2. They should have rims that are:
3. Tall enough to limit unsupervised access by small children, and
4. Wide enough to permit seating. Fountains should be encouraged in
landscaped and hardscaped courtyards and plazas.
Design Response:
We are not proposing any fountains. All other street furniture shall comply
with these provisions.

L. Materials and Colors
1. Facades
Finish materials and building colors will reflect Florida or coastal
vernacular themes. All awnings should contain at least three (3)
distinct colors. Bright colors will be limited to trims and other
accents. Glass curtain walls are prohibited.
Design Response:
The proposed design complies with the Beach by Design guidelines and
proposes a palate of white finished building walls, blue/gray glazing, and a
variety of coastal colored fixtures and furnishings.
2. Sidewalks
Sidewalks will be constructed of:
a. Pavers;
b. Patterned, distressed, or special aggregate concrete;
Or
c. Other finished treatment that distinguishes the sidewalks from
typical suburban concrete sidewalks. Materials should be chosen
to minimize the cost and complexity of maintenance.
Design Response:
Proposed sidewalks will be, at a minimum, 10 feet wide and have a variety of
paver colors, styles, and patterns, as well as concrete to separate the café
and plaza areas.
3. Street Furniture
Street furniture will be constructed of low-maintenance materials,
and will be in a color that is compatible with its surroundings.
Design Response:
All street furniture shall comply with this provision.
