Community Development Board (CDB)

The Community Development Board (CDB) consists of seven members and one alternate, all residents of the city, who are appointed by City Council to serve four-year terms. The CDB decides certain site plan applications known as Level Two Approvals or Flexible Development (FLD) applications. The board also serves as the city’s Local Planning Agency making recommendations to City Council regarding development of, or changes to, the city’s Comprehensive Plan, Community Development Code and various related applications.

The CDB meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. in City Council chambers at the Clearwater Main Library, 100 N. Osceola Ave. For assistance, the Clearwater Citizens Guide to Community Development Board Hearings(PDF, 9MB)  offers a step-by-step look at the board's processes and procedural hearings for affected parties and the public participating in the process.

If you have questions or concerns about a case, please contact the assigned planner from the Planning and Development Department listed at the end of each agenda item at 727-562-4567. NOTE: To request past agendas not listed on this page, click here.
