Clearwater Considers Medical Clinic Conversion on Turner Street

Clearwater Considers Medical Clinic Conversion on Turner Street

Clearwater residents are keeping an eye on a proposed development that could bring a new medical clinic to 375 Turner Street in the heart of the city's vibrant downtown. The project, identified as FLD2025-10026, involves the conversion of an existing building into a medical clinic within the Institutional (I) District.

The proposal is currently listed as 'Agenda Ready' for an upcoming City Council meeting, indicating it's prepared for review and action. This Flexible Development approval seeks to accommodate the medical clinic as a Comprehensive Infill Redevelopment Project. Key aspects of the request include flexibility for reduced off-street parking, supported by a parking demand study, and reduced interior landscaping and landscape buffers along property lines through a Comprehensive Landscape Program. The existing building does not exceed 35 feet in height, and the modified parking lot is planned to include 57 off-street parking spaces.

This type of Level Two Application requires careful consideration by the City Council, as it involves specific deviations from standard Community Development Code sections, including 2-1204.A., 3-1401.C., and 3-1202.D., E. and G., Article 4, Division 4.

The Community Development Board approved minutes from their March 17, 2026 meeting, which are also 'Agenda Ready' for Council review, may provide further context or previous discussions related to such development applications. Residents interested in the details of this project or other upcoming agenda items can typically find full documentation on the City of Clearwater's official website.

The City Council regularly meets approximately every 18 days at 6:00 PM. Specific dates and times for the discussion of this item will be posted on the city's official meeting schedule.
