05:03:05 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Here.
Before we begin, I would just like to read into the record
that both Councilman Miranda and Councilman Reddick will not
be able to attend tonight.
They had some issues going on, one with illness and one with
something else.
So they are not going to be able to be here tonight.

05:03:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

05:03:28 >> Second.
05:03:29 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
A second from Mr. Cohen.
All in favor of that motion please indicate by saying aye.
Any opposed?
Thank you.
Item number 2 is an item being set for public hearing by
council consent.
I had not started yet, Mrs. Kert, but you can go ahead.
05:03:47 >>REBECCA KERT:
Before you did that, I have a substitute
ordinance, because this is a transmittal public hearing, and
we have June 23rd and July 14th date and we won't
have the comments back from the state so we are just going
to set the transmittal public hearing.
We'll set the other one at a later date.
05:04:07 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
That's okay, I think we already have the
copy right here.
Mrs. Capin.
No?
We don't have to read by title, correct, Mr. Shelby?
05:04:23 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
As long as the clerk knows.
05:04:27 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
If you set that for June 23rd public
hearing.
05:04:34 >>YVONNE CAPIN:
Move for transmittal for public hearing on
June 23 at 5:30 p.m.
05:04:39 >>MIKE SUAREZ:

Now we have to open public hearings 3 through 6.
I have a motion by Mr. Cohen.
A second from Mr. Maniscalco.
All in favor of that motion please indicate by saying aye.
Any opposed?
Mr. Shelby.
05:05:00 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
Just for clarification purposes, 5 and 6
cannot be open till 5:30.
05:05:06 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
I don't think he said 5 through 6.
Did you say 5 or 6?
05:05:11 >>HARRY COHEN:
I said 3 and 4. Actually, I guess --
05:05:19 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Do we need to clear the record?
05:05:21 >> I think you are okay.
05:05:22 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
This is a quasi-judicial proceeding.
All those that are going to speak on items 3 and 4, please
stand and be sworn in.
(Oath administered by Clerk).
05:05:38 >>CATHERINE COYLE:
Planning and development.
Item number 3 is the area rezoning for the west river zoning
area.
Going to the neighborhood mixed use 35 district.
In that particular district is actually the text amendment
of item number 4.
So technically I would ask you to read number 4 before
number 3, if possible.
Number 4 is the text amendment amended, neighborhood mixed
use, 24 and 35 categories.
05:06:12 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Is there anyone in the public that would
like to speak on item number 3?
Item number 3?
I see no one.
Go ahead, Mr. Shelby.
05:06:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
Would you also ask if there's anybody to
be speak on item number 4, and close them at the same time?
05:06:27 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Anybody here to speak on number 4?
Neither of those items are items that you want to speak on,
ladies, correct?
Because once we close the public hearing, you cannot speak
then, okay?
All right, thank you.
I have a motion to close from Mr. Maniscalco.
I have a second from Mr. Cohen.
Now, before we go on with the motion, I think Mrs. Coyle
wanted us to read 4 first.
So we are closing 4 first.
Okay, Mr. Maniscalco, to close 3 and 4, second from Mr.
Cohen.
All in favor of that motion?
Any opposed?
Thank you.
Okay.
We will take number 4, Mrs. Capin, take number 4, please.

You will be accepting a substitute, exhibit A, as the
document that was on file with the clerk.
This is the color version.
And I provided a digital copy to the clerk's office for
publication on the website.
Just for referential you did approve with the privately
initiated amendment.
So if you can move to adopt the substitute, however.
05:34:24 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Very well.
Any questions of council?
Is there anyone in the public to be speak on item number 6,
E 2016-8 chapter 27?
05:34:43 >>GINA GRIMES:
Hill, Ward, Henderson, 101 East Kennedy
Boulevard.
We are representing quality dining, the applicant on this
privately initiated code amendment for the drive-in window.
At the last hearing, we said we would come back at second
reading and show you at least the preliminary version of the
site plan which I have I have for you today.
The site plan is in complains with the city's code
requirements.
05:35:11 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Would you put it up a little more?
05:35:18 >>GINA GRIMES:
I wanted to show you some renderings of the
store that was recently built in Temple Terrace, and while
it won't be exactly this store, this design, it will be very
much like it.
And they had guidelines that were provided to quality
dining, and they actually exceeded some of the guidelines.
That's the front of the store.
Here is the side of the store with the drive-in window.
And here is the order board, the back of the store.
So we are following the design along those lines but even
better.
Hopefully upon second reading, we will be able to submit an
application and be back in front of you in the near future.
05:36:06 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you.
Any questions from council?
Okay.
One more time, is there anyone in the public that would like

I have a motion to close from Mr. Cohen, second by Mr.

All in favor of that motion?

Mrs. Montelione, would you -- would you like to take one of

Is your voice strong enough or would you rather -- Mrs.

05:38:52 >>THE CLERK:
Motion carried with Miranda and Reddick being
absent.
05:38:55 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Item number 7.
05:38:57 >> Tony LaColla, Planning Commission staff.
Tonight I am here to present two plan amendments, and they
are moving through together.
They are 16-01 A and B is the next one up.
16-01 A is privately initiated, and then B is publicly
initiated.
They are going together although they are separate from each
other.
The location of 1601-A is in the Westshore planning district
which is also the Westshore business center, International
airport, regional shopping mall, as well as the past decade,
higher intensity development.
Five land use categories, regional mixed use 100, community
commercial 35 for medium density, commercial, residential,
and mixed use development, while the regional mixed use 100
allows for high intensity, high-rise residential office and
regional.
This is located just on the site side of I-275, .49 acres.
It the subject site is along West Cypress street.
05:40:34 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Just a second.
Mrs. Coyle, I think that you are distracting some of the
members of council, if that's okay.
Thank you.
I apologize.
Go ahead.
Continue, sir.
05:40:43 >> No worry.
Again, the subject site is on the north side of Cypress
Street, just on the west side of Dale Mabry.
This is a better aerial view of the subject site.
It includes this building which is Office Furniture. This
is I-275 before reconstruction.
The roadway is even closer to the building now, Cypress
Street on the south side.
This is a street level view of the building and the subject
site.
Again Freeman Office Furniture.
This is Cypress Street on the west side looking to the west
and on the right side looking to the east along Cypress.
These are the two parcels on the east side.
You have Trane air conditioning warehouse as well as West
Marine.
This is the site of the subject site.
You have the Korean restaurant at the parking lot, west
side.
On the right side is a vacant commercial parcel.
This is a residential neighborhood along state street just
south of cypress.
More of what it looks like, Freeman Office Furniture, one
of the houses.
This is the adopted future land use map, the current use
showing the community mixed use 35 in red.
Regional mixed use 100 indicated at the purplish, magenta
color.
Residential 20 is in brown.
And residential 10 is the salmon color.
This is the proposed future land use map.
You can see the parcels changing to the residential mixed
use 100.
Again, the red is the commercial 35, along Dale Mabry you
have significant number of parcels which are mixed use 100.
So what are the impacts?
Currently under CC 35 the property can develop to maximum 17
residential units or more or less 43,000 square feet
commercial, F.A.R. 2.0.
The proposed regional mixed use 100 would allow for 45
residential units or about 75,000 square feet of
nonresidential uses.
There are several agencies that reviewed the plan amendment
there.
Were no objections.
And city staff did support the plan amendment.
And Planning Commission found the request consistent with
the following goals, objectives and poses of the
comprehensive plan which you see on your screen as they
relate to livable cities, business centers, new development,
redevelopment, commercial areas, and in-fill and
redevelopment.
With that the Planning Commission found the proposed map
endment consistent with your comprehensive plan and will
recommends adoption.
05:43:45 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you very much.
Petitioner?
05:43:53 >> Todd Pressman, East Lake Road 102 in Palm Harbor,
Florida.
Steve Freeman is the owner of the property.
Some of you may know him, Freeman Furniture. This comes
before us very positively.
We had no opposition from anyone in the community, supported
by your city staff, Planning Commission staff, no agency
objections, and Steve is planning a great project that we'll
come back in zoning.
We appreciate your consideration.
Thank you.
05:44:26 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you.
Is there anyone in the public who would like to comment on
item number 7?
Item number 7.
Motion to close from Mrs. Capin, a second from Mr. Cohen.
All in favor of that motion indicate by saying aye.
Any opposed?
Okay.
Mr. Cohen, will you kindly take number 7?
05:44:45 >>HARRY COHEN:
I move an ordinance being presented for
first reading consideration, an ordinance amending the Tampa
Comprehensive Plan, future land use map for the property
generally located at 3935 West Cypress street, from
community commercial 35 CC 35 to regional mixed use 100, RMU
100, providing for repeal of all ordinances in conflict,
providing for severability, providing an effective date.
05:45:10 >> Second.
05:45:11 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Motion by Mr. Cohen, I have a second from
Mr. Maniscalco.
Roll call vote, please.
05:45:16 >>THE CLERK:
Mr. Chairman this is --
05:45:22 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
I'm so used to doing that.
All in favor say aye.
Any opposed?
05:45:26 >>THE CLERK:
Motion carried with Miranda and Reddick being
absent.
Second reading and adoption will be on June 23rd at 9:30
a.m.
05:45:33 >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
05:45:36 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you, Mr. Crew, for keeping me
straight.
Item number 8.
05:45:40 >> Tony LaColla, Planning Commission staff. This is PA
16-01-B, again located in the Westshore planning district,
Westshore business center.
Tampa International Airport, two shopping malls, and a lot
of development, redevelopment over the past 20 years, and we
expect to the continue into the future.
The request is on a 1.23-acre parcel, actually two parcels,
publicly initiated going from community commercial 35 to
regional mixed use 100.
This is an aerial view of the subject site.
You can see here indicated in the magenta color.
Cypress Street is to the south.
I-275 to the north.
You have a Marriott courtyard on the east side, and on the
west side is the Freeman Office Furniture, Dale Mabry is to
the east, you have single-family residential neighborhood to
the south.
Another aerial view of the subject site again.
West Marine, and this is the Trane warehouse and the Freeman
Office Furniture on the west side.
This is a street level view of the subject site.
West Marine.
This is Church Street.
And then you have the Courtyard Marriott.
West Marine is part of the subject site and then the Trane
warehouse is over here on the west.
These are better photos of the subject site.
And then here is Cypress Street looking to the west, and
Cypress Street lag to the east.
This is Church Street, which leads right-of-way into I-75
and dead-ends into it and then tough Courtyard Marriott on
the east.
This is Office Furniture to the west.
Moving south of the subject site you have vacant commercial
parcel and you have an office building catty-corner to that,
to the south.
This is the residential neighborhood to the south which I
indicated earlier on the map.
More or less what it looks like.
This is future land use map showing the parcel and community
commercial 35.
And regional mixed use 100 is indicated in the magenta.
The brown isis residential 20, and the salmon color isis
residential 10.
Community commercial 35 along Cypress Street to the south
provides a little buffer and some transition into the
residential neighborhood.
This is the proposed future land use map indicated with the
black around it.
This isis the parcel.
You can see regional mixed use 100, and right next door.
Potential impact, currently the property could develop at 43
units per acre on these two parcels with 130 that you square
feet of nonresidential uses.
Under the proposed RMU 100, could develop to 123 residential
units on more or less 188,000 square feet of nonresidential
uses.
Again no objections from any of the reviewing agencies.
And the city staff supports the plan amendment.
It is city initiated.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendment
against the comprehensive plan, and based on the goals,
objectives and policies on the screen, found it consistent
related to livable cities, new development, redevelopment,
commercial areas, and in-fill and redevelopment.
And with that, Planning Commission found the proposed plan
endment consistent with your comprehensive plan.
We recommend its adoption.
05:49:48 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you.
I believe the petitioner left.
So there is no petitioner.
05:49:54 >> This isis city initiated.
05:49:57 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
And the city has nothing to say because they
are in favor of it.
Is there anyone in the public that would like to comment on
item number 8?
Item number 8.

I have a motion to close from Mr. Maniscalco.
I have a second from Mrs. Capin.

Motion from Mr. Cohen.
Second from Mr. Maniscalco.
All in favor of that motion?
Any opposed?
Thank you.
Sorry, Mrs. Moreda.
06:01:49 >> That's okay. This is AB 2-16-11.
The property is currently zoned PD as part of the
development.
The address of the site single-family 5315 Avion park drive.
I just want the note for the completion of a new restaurant
it is going to be addressed A at 5311 Avion park drive.
The proposal buff is for a large venue, beer, wine, liquor
on-premises consumption only.
The total inside area for proposed AB sales is 5,250 square
feet.
Outside area is 3,062 square feet.
For a total of 8,368.
This is a large planned development district.
They have large amount of parking that is associated with
the parking garages, and the total overall parking is 1,050
spaces.
The site plan shows the proposed hours of operation,
11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday,
Friday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Sunday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
They are not asking for any waivers.
They meet the requirements for distance separation.
They are in the Westshore business district.
There are some minor changes to the site plan that need to
be provided.
And I'm here to answer any questions.
Let me quickly show you the site.
You probably, if you have been out, very much seen the
construction that's occurring here, the location of the
restaurant.
The view looking west on Boy Scout.
And this is the location here.
This is the shell of the building going, generally some of
the parking areas in the development.
06:04:09 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Questions from council?
Petitioner?
06:04:16 >> Michael Horner, 14502 North Dale Mabry highway Tampa
representing World of Beer.
This is number 2, council.
We did Fowler Avenue 18 months ago.
It's up and running.
Beautiful.
Doing very well.
This is at the epicenter of the Suncoast veterans expressway
and Spruce crossing the airport.
It's just an ideal location.
This operation is going to be similar to the Fowler Avenue
upscale wine, spirits, beer, upscale menu, a restaurant
component.
The footprint is only 4500 square feet.
Multiple levels to it.
Cool interactive areas for the guests.
There are two boutique hotels, suites, lots of parking, the
airport employment center, other businesses, amazing
exposure.
RMU 100 comp plan, is the intent these are scheduled to be.
We have in a waivers.
We don't have any residential uses.
This is a use that I think will certainly be complementary
to not only the area but the on-site amenities as well for
the hotels, and the hours of operation are exactly
consistent with the Fowler Avenue store.
Be happy to answer any questions.
06:05:35 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Any questions by council?
Okay.
Is there anyone in the public that would like to comment on
item number 9, file AB 2-16-11
Ma'am, please come to the podium.
State of Florida.
06:05:48 >> My name is Janice Soba.
I'm in the Tampa Bay area for ten years.
Well, good evening.
Sorry.
Council members.
Hope you are having a great day.
And ordinance AB 2-16-11, the permit for World of Beer.
World of Beer opened their doors in 2007, opened 55 stores
in the United States.
Tampa is the original Westchase including Brandon, and
hopefully this one in Avion park.
Many refer to World of Beer as the mecca of beer.
I work at the hotel at 700 North Westshore, the Holiday Inn
there.
People have a lot of staff that come into that hotel as far
as airport staff and other organizations, military, and they
always want to go somewhere to have a drink in Tampa, and
the airport or the hotel, restaurant is kind of boring, so
having another restaurant in the area will be a great place
to experience Tampa, get out a little bit, see what the city
has to offer.
So I'm for the AB 2-16-11.
Thank you.
06:07:26 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
We appreciate it.
Is there anyone else in the audience that would like to
speak on item number 9?

06:08:56 >>THE CLERK:
Motion carried with Miranda and Reddick being
absent.
Second reading and adoption will be on June 23rd at 9:30
a.m.
06:09:05 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you for attending.
Next up is item number 10.
Mrs. Moreda.
06:09:09 >>GLORIA MOREDA:
Land development.
This is AB 2-16-12.
It is in the Ybor City YC 1 district concerning property at
1409 East 7th Avenue.
The request is for a small venue, beer wine, on premises
consumption only.
The proposal is 2,240 square feet inside area, 622 square
feet outside area for a total of 2826 total square feet.
The proposed hours are 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday.
Thursday and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.
to 11 p.m.
The request is asking for a distance separation waiver from
250 feet to zero for another AB establishment.
The request is for a small venue that is for a personal
service, beauty salon, or hair salon, and they have no
on-site parking.
However, the Ybor City district does not require any on-site
parking.
There are some revisions to the site plan that I would ask
council to have done.
They need to indicate that the use is servicing a personal
service rather than a hair salon, personal services is the
term we use in our code, as well as to revise exhibits B-2
and legal description on the ordinance, that it takes both
the inside AB area and the outside area.
And then the address is on the site plan needs to be
corrected.
But this is in the Ybor City district which is an urban
village.
It's also a mixed use corridor village.
Ybor City is a community redevelopment area, and there are
two structures.
The nearest AB establishment is southern knights located at
1401 East 7th Avenue which is apparently right next door.
This is the map showing the location, 7th Avenue.
The property is located just off the intersection.
This is a side view of the building.
They are actually one unit over.
A look down 7th Avenue looking west.
And this is property that's directly across the street.
If you have any questions.
06:12:04 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Any questions from council?
Okay.
The applicant?
Yes, sir.
06:12:11 >> Patrick Thornton.
It is consistent with the existing fabric of Ybor City.
They are providing very good service as you can tell by my
hair cut.
We feel that this would be a great addition to Ybor City,
and we appreciate any comments and look forward to making
any changes and hoping you approve.
06:12:36 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you.
I hope of that we aren't making a decision based on your
hair cut only.
We have other options of doing.
That is there anyone in the public that would like to speak
on this item, item number 10? Yes, sir, please come
forward.
06:12:49 >> Nicholas Underwood as you can see my hair is also done
here.
The level of service that they do provide you get a
complementary beer with your hair cut and there is a bar in
the back for you to wait and purchase alcohol in.
It's a very nice place, and the only barbershop that I have
found that has this kind of service.
We have clientele coming in from all over the country.
They are finding the company via social media, Facebook,
Instagram, Internet, and they are coming in because they get
a free beer.
They are in Ybor City.
They get to experience than the historic, get to go have a
Cuban, get a cold beer and have their hair cut.
I definitely think it would be a great addition, not only
bring in more business here to Tampa Bay, like I say we have
clients from all over the country, it is something that we
look forward to, and happy to answer any questions you may
have about that as well.
06:13:48 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you.
Any questions from council, applicant or anyone?
06:13:53 >> How much is the men's hair cut?
06:13:55 >> You actually get a discount.
We have a card.
06:13:58 >>YVONNE CAPIN:
You should give everybody a discount.
Not everybody here.
06:14:06 >> $25 for a men's cut and that includes your hair cut,
complimentary beer, soda, wine, you also get a style and
groom, all included in the $25 package.
Also an straight, full head shaves, you name it.
06:14:22 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Thank you so much.
Mrs. Capin.
06:14:27 >>YVONNE CAPIN:
Well, the gentleman that spoke before you
and his hair cut, I noticed the beard and thought, well, I
won't judge it on the beard be but the hair cut.
06:14:38 >> I get it done weekly.
Very good service.
06:14:41 >>MIKE SUAREZ:
Is there anyone else in the public that
would like to speak on this item, item number 10?
Did you say something?
You have to say it so we can hear it.
Motion to close from Mrs. Montelione.
Second by Mr. Cohen.
All in favor?

file all documents.
Anyone opposed? Is there anyone in the audience that would
