Old Bay District The Old Bay Character District is generally bounded by Nicholson Street on the north, Blanche B. Littlejohn Trail and Myrtle Avenue on the on the east, Clearwater Harbor on the west and Drew Street on the south as illustrated on Map 8, page 57. There are 228 parcels totaling 81.5 acres of land within the District representing 15 percent of the total Downtown Plan area.

Existing Character The Old Bay District, which is the area previously known as the Northwest Periphery Plan area and the land south of Jones Street to Drew Street, is a transitional area between the Downtown Core and the low density residential areas to the north. North Fort Harrison Avenue Avenue, which is currently designated as Alternate U.S. Highway 19, is the main traffic corridor in this District, and serves as the northern most gateway into the Downtown area. Old Bay is comprised of a mix of land uses including governmental, residential (including single-family dwellings), commercial, industrial, institutional and recreational. This mix, while giving the District great diversity, also results in incompatible development patterns and uses. The District’s unique character is derived from its location along Clearwater Harbor and the significant number of older structures (greater than 50 years). The North Ward Elementary School, a National Register Historic site and the City of Clearwater’s Partnership School, is located on the northern edge of the District, and is a neighborhood amenity. The location of North Fort Harrison Avenue and the high volumes of traffic on it essentially divide the District into two distinct sections and contribute to the lack of a cohesive identity. Furthermore, the most eastern portion of the District does not enjoy close proximity to the waterfront and the single-family residential uses are surrounded by nonconforming vehicle services and industrial uses. District Vision Uses The Old Bay District is envisioned to be a mixed-use neighborhood supporting the Downtown employment base with residential, limited neighborhood commercial and office uses. A variety of densities and housing styles are encouraged throughout the District, as well as renovations of existing older structures This District provides an opportunity for higher-density residential uses along Clearwater Harbor west of Osceola Avenue, provided such development is sensitive to the established low-rise historic character of the District. The eastern frontage of Osceola Avenue may retain its residential use, convert existing buildings to offices, redevelop with residential scale offices or combine these two uses on the same site. North Fort

63

Harrison Avenue is envisioned as the main commercial area providing neighborhood commercial uses on properties on both sides of the street. The area between North Fort Harrison Avenue and Garden Avenue should continue to be a mixed-use area permitting commercial and office development and encouraging the incorporation of residential uses in mixed-use projects. Properties located east of Garden Avenue may be redeveloped with residential uses, residential scale office development or a mix of these two uses. The parcel within the District east of the Pinellas Trail through to Myrtle Avenue is envisioned to remain as the City’s Gas Department administrative offices and warehouse.

Function The character of Old Bay should be strengthened through streetscape elements that identify the District as a Downtown neighborhood. Emphasis should be placed on tying the eastern and western sections of the entire District together by providing linkages between the waterfront and the Pinellas Trail. Public improvements to the Seminole Boat ramp will also enhance waterfront access and appearance. Development Patterns Greater heights in the higher density residential area west of Osceola Avenue may be considered. The development pattern in the balance of the District is expected to remain urban in character reflecting the low-rise scale (two to three stories) of the existing neighborhood. Renovation/restoration of existing historic homes is strongly encouraged and new development should provide references to the neighborhood’s historic features in their design. Redevelopment should provide opportunities for comfortable pedestrian travel and access to public areas including the Seminole Street Launching Facility and Pinellas Trail. Prohibited Uses Automobile service stations, all types of vehicle sales and services, fast food restaurants with drive-through service, adult uses, industrial and problematic uses (examples include, but are not limited to, day labor, pawn shops, check cashing and blood plasma centers and body piercing and tattoo parlors). Intensity Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - 0.5 FAR; Density - West of North Garden Avenue:

< 2 acres – 25 units/acre > 2 acres – 50 units/acre

Policy 1: The Public Incentives Amenities Pool shall not be available to any property

located on the west side of Osceola Avenue between Eldridge Street and the northern boundary of the Old Bay character district.

Policy 2: Connections from the Pinellas Trail through the neighborhood to Clearwater

Harbor should be accomplished through signage, sidewalks and bicycle/pedestrian facilities.

Policy 3: The Seminole Street Launching Facility should be maintained as a recreation

site, recognized as an area attraction, and should be improved with the addition of elements such as picnic areas, park benches, landscaping, lighting and parking management.

Policy 4: City rights-of-way that dead-end at the harbor shall be retained and improved

for public access to the water.

Policy 5: Clearwater Gas property should be landscaped, buffered and beautified appropriately.

Policy 6: Existing commercial uses fronting on North Fort Harrison Avenue may be expanded or redeveloped through the block to North Osceola Avenue. If this occurs, it shall be adequately buffered from the surrounding properties with materials such as landscaping or fencing.

Policy 7: New development on North Fort Harrison Avenue shall be oriented toward the street to encourage pedestrian activity and a dynamic street life.

Policy 8: New development on Drew Street shall be oriented toward the street to encourage pedestrian activity.

Policy 9: Mixed-use development that has office and retail uses on the first floor and residential uses above are encouraged along North Fort Harrison Avenue.
