What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Clearwater Beach is the barrier-island portion of the City of Clearwater; permitting falls to Clearwater Building Department (not Pinellas County).

The 2010-2024 high-rise condo wave (Sandpearl, Hyatt Regency, Wyndham Grand) has reshaped the beachfront; SB 4-D milestone inspections will start hitting these towers in the 2035-2049 window.

Beachfront parcels seaward of the CCCL require FDEP CCCL permit; FEMA Zone VE applies with wave-load and breakaway-wall provisions.

Tampa ADUs — detached, attached, and conversion paths — scoped against Hillsborough/Pinellas Building + FBC 2023 + CILB setback + height + parking variances. In Clearwater Beach specifically, 1955-1985 mid-century beach cottage + condo + small motel; 2010-2024 high-rise condo + luxury beachfront stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
