SHE IS GOING TO GIVE A THREE- TO
FIVE-MINUTE SPEECH.
BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
ASK THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF YOU COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE
WITH THE FOUR RECIPIENTS.
THANK YOU.
5:19:31PM >> IN THE ORATORICAL CONTEST WORKS TO SPEECHES I GIVE, ONE
IS TEN-MINUTED PREPARE ORATION AND ANOTHER ONE IS RANDOMLY
ASSIGNED TOPIC FROM FOUR GIVEN PREVIOUSLY AND THE ONE I
CHOSE TO GIVE YOU ALL TODAY IS FROM ARTICLE 6, CLAUSE 3 OF
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THE SPEECH.
ARTICLE 6, CLAUSE 3 OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION STATES: ALL
EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL OFFICERS SHALL BE BOUND BY OATH OR
AFFIRMATION TO SUPPORT THIS CONSTITUTION, BUT NO RELIGIOUS
TEST SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED AS A QUALIFICATION TO ANY OFFICE
OR PUBLIC TRUST UNDER THE UNITED STATES.
IN ONE SINGLE SENTENCE, THE CONSTITUTION ACCOMPLISHES
SOMETHING RARE.
IT BINDS POWER TIGHTLY WHILE FREEING BELIEF ENTIRELY.
ALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS MUST SWEAR LOYALTY NOT TO A PERSON, NOT
TO A PARTY, NOT TO AN IDEOLOGY BUT TO THE CONSTITUTION
ITSELF, TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY, THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA.
THIS OATH IS NOT SYMBOLIC.
IT IS A DECLARATION AUTHORITY FLOWS FROM LAW, NOT PERSONAL
CONVICTION.
THAT POWER IS CONDITIONAL, BUT SERVICE IS ACCOUNTABLE.
BUT JUST AS FIRMLY THE CONSTITUTION REJECTS RELIGIOUS TESTS.
FAITH IS NOT A PREREQUISITE FOR SERVICE.
BELIEF IS NOT A BARRIER TO SERVICE.
THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DEMAND CONFORMITY OF CONSCIENCE AS A
PRICE FOR PARTICIPATION.
AND THIS WAS A RADICAL IDEA IN ITS TIME.
MOST GOVERNMENTS HAD AUTHORITY TO RELIGIOUS IDENTITY, BUT
OUR CONSTITUTION'S FRAMERS CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH.
NOT BECAUSE THEY REJECTED FAITH, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN
CONFLICTS AND PERSECUTION ARISE FROM STATE-SPONSORED
RELIGIONS, BECAUSE THE FOUNDATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT OF OUR
GOVERNMENT IS NOT BASED ON SECULAR BELIEF.
IT IS BASED ON THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED, ON THE PROMISE
TO UPHOLD OUR NATION'S FUNDAMENTAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES.
THIS PROTECTION WAS REINFORCED IN THE CASE OF TORCASO VERSUS
WATKINS WHEN THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN A REQUIREMENT
THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS DECLARE BELIEF IN GOD.
THE COURT MADE CLEAR THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT CONDITION PUBLIC
SERVICE ON RELIGIOUS FAITH.
AFFIRMING THAT LOYALTY TO THE CONSTITUTION NOT ADHERENCE TO

A CREED, IS THE ONLY LEGITIMATE QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICE.
AND IN 2026, THIS PROTECTION IS INDISPENSABLE.
OUR SOCIETY IS MORE SOCIALLY, CULTURALLY, AND RELIGIOUSLY
DIVERSE, MORE IDEOLOGICALLY DIVIDED THAN EVER BEFORE.
THIS CLAUSE ENSURES THAT PUBLIC TRUST RESTS ON CONDUCT.
NOT CREED.
ARTICLE 6, CLAUSE 3 REMINDS US THAT A FREE NATION, THAT A
FREE SOCIETY DOES NOT DEMAND SAMENESS.
IT DEMANDS RESPONSIBILITY.
OUR DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS CITIZENS ARE TO DEFEND FREEDOM
OF BELIEF, TO REJECT RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION, TO PROTECT
THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY FROM US, AND
TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC OFFICE REMAINS OPEN TO ALL, REGARDLESS
OF IDENTITY, BELIEF, OR FAITH.
THE CONSTITUTION BINDS LEADERS TO DUTY WHILE LIBERATING
CITIZENS TO BELIEVE FREELY.
AND IN DOING SO, IT PROVES THAT UNITY DOES NOT REQUIRE
UNIFORMITY.
IT REQUIRES ACTION.
AND THAT ACTION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CITIZENS AND
GOVERNMENT LEADERS ALIKE TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION
TOGETHER.
DIFFERENT IN BELIEF, BUT UNITED IN DUTY, BECAUSE THE FREEDOM
TO DIFFER IS A FUNDAMENTAL DEMOCRATIC RIGHT THAT ALLOWS OUR
SOCIETY TO FLOURISH.

AND THAT IS A RIGHT THAT CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY FROM US.
THANK YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]
5:23:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO BE IN THE
PICTURE, IF YOU WANT TO COME UP HERE, THIS IS A BETTER SHOT.
5:24:08PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LET'S GO UP FRONT.
5:24:10PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
[ APPLAUSE ]
5:26:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
NOW I THINK THERE IS A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF, JOY,
EXCITEMENT IN THE NEXT ITEM THAT WE MOVE TO.
ITEM NUMBER 2.
GOOD EVENING.
5:27:19PM >> GOOD EVENING.

FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE WITH DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM 3 IS REZ 25-112.
THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 2907 WEST EUCLID AVENUE FROM RS
60 TO RS 50.
I'LL TURN IT OVER NOW TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
5:31:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GOOD EVENING.
5:31:50PM >> GOOD EVENING.
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET.

WE DID PROVIDE A REVISED STAFF REPORT JUST TO CLARIFY THAT
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
IT IS WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE BAYSHORE
BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA IN
EVACUATION ZONE A.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE, ROUGHLY 400 FEET
WEST OF BAYSHORE BOULEVARD.
THIS PORTION OF WEST EUCLID AVENUE IS PRIMARILY DEVELOPED
WITH SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE AS RESIDENTIAL 10
WHICH SURROUNDS THE SITE ON ALL SIDES AND SUPPORTS LOW
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
RESIDENTIAL 83 AND RESIDENTIAL 20 ARE LOCATED ONE BLOCK
NORTH NEAR BAYSHORE BOULEVARD AND WAVERLY AVENUE.
THE REQUEST IS REZONE FROM RS 60 TO RS 50.
UNDER THE ADOPTED R-10 DESIGNATION, THE SITE MAY BE
CONSIDERED FOR UP TWO DWELLING UNITS.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN.
OVERALL, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 10
DESIGNATION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
5:32:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

HEARING NONE.
5:33:00PM >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE:
FOR THE RECORD AGAIN, CHRISTOPHER
DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST EUCLID
AVENUE.
IT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST EUCLID AND SOUTH WAVERLY
COURT.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED DWELLING.
SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT PARCEL ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
DWELLINGS TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST.
IT IS ALL RS 60 ZONING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO LOTS THAT
ARE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST EUCLID AVENUE, THAT
ARE ZONED RS 50.
THE SUBJECT PARCEL, THE SURVEY SHOWS IT AT THE CORNER OF
SOUTH WAVERLY COURT AND WEST EUCLID AVENUE.
THE SITE HAS APPROXIMATELY 110 FEET OF STREET FRONTAGE ON
SOUTH WAVERLY COURT AND 100 FEET ALONG WEST EUCLID AVENUE.
I PROVIDED AN ANALYSIS IN MY STAFF REPORT ON PAGES 3 AND 4,
WHICH I WILL NOW REVIEW WITH YOU.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS PART OF THE BELLA VISTA SUBDIVISION,
LOTS 34 AND 35, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN 1916.
THE AREA OF ANALYSIS INCLUDED 224 PARCELS.
119 PARCELS OR 53% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60
FEET OR GREATER.

AND 105 PARCELS OR 47% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF
59.99 FEET OR LESS.
THE SUBJECT BLOCK FACE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST EUCLID
AVENUE THAT RUNS FROM SOUTH WAVERLY COURT TO BAYSHORE
BOULEVARD HAS WIDTHS RANGING FROM 60 FEET TO OVER A HUNDRED.
EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE, THREE OR 100% OF THE PARCELS ON
THE SUBJECT BLOCK HAVE A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR GREATER WITH
ONE MEASURING 60 FEET TO 64.99 FEET IN WIDTH, ONE MEASURING
75 FEET TO 79.99 FEET IN WIDTH.
AND ONE MEASURING 80 FEET TO 99.99 FEET IN WIDTH.
ALSO, THE BLOCK FACE RUNNING FROM SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE
TO SOUTH WAVERLY COURT CONTAINS SEVEN LOTS, WIDTHS RANGING
FROM 75 FEET TO OVER A HUNDRED FEET.
ALL SEVEN OR 100% OF THE PARCELS HAVE A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR
GREATER, WITH ONE MEASURING 75 FEET TO 79.99 FEET IN WIDTH,
THREE MEASURING 80 FEET TO 99.99 FEET IN WIDTH.
AND THREE MEASURING OVER 100 FEET IN WIDTH.
THIS SHOWS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
NEXT WE HAVE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
THIS IS NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON SOUTH WAVERLY.
THIS IS SOUTH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST EUCLID.
THE NEXT PHOTO IS THE LOT FOR THIS HOME.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL, THE TWO LOTS CURRENTLY ZONED RS 50.
IMMEDIATELY EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

THIS WOULD BE ACROSS SOUTH WAVERLY.
AND BECAUSE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, THERE IS NO SITE
PLAN OR ELEVATIONS TO SHOW YOU.
STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED IN THE OVERALL STUDY AREA THAT 53% OF
THE PARCELS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR
GREATER AND 47% HAVE A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS IN THE
STUDY AREA.
WHILE THERE ARE A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES WITHIN THE VICINITY
OF THE SUBJECT SITE, DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF
FINDS THE PROPOSED REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE OVERALL STUDY AREA.
AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:36:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, APPLICANT?
5:36:51PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
I'M AILEEN ROSARIO.
MR. JEFFREY JONES, THE HOMEOWNER.
WE'RE TRYING TO DO EUCLIDEAN TO CHANGE FROM RS 60 TO RS 50.
ORIGINALLY, THIS LOT WAS PLATTED IN 1916 AT 50 FEET IN
WIDTH.
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE, TWO LOTS BECAME ONE, BUT THE
ZONING, SOMEHOW THE CITY ZONED IT AS AN RS 60.
BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS WITHIN THAT EUCLID, EUCLID, BAY
VILLA, AND BAY VIEW, BAY VILLA, BAY COURT, THE MAJORITY OF
THE LOTS ARE ALL ZONED RS 60, THAT'S TRUE.

BUT LOT WIDTH IS ONLY 50 FEET WIDE.
SO YOU ARE TECHNICALLY, YOU ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH YOUR
LOT SIZE.
SO ALL WE WANT TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY,
EVENTUALLY MR. JONES WILL CHOOSE WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH
HIS PROPERTY, WHETHER HE CHOOSES TO SPLIT IT, SELL.
I THINK HE'S TRYING TO SELL THE PROPERTY NOW AS-IS.
BUT THAT'S ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST MAKE IT A LEGAL
CONFORMING RS 50 AS TO WHAT THE PLAT WAS ORIGINALLY.
MR. JONES HAS A FEW THINGS HE WOULD LIKE TO SAY.
5:38:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. JONES, START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
5:38:12PM >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MR. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THANK YOU.
MY NAME IS JEFFREY JONES.
I RESIDE AT 2907 WEST EUCLID AVENUE IN TAMPA.
I'M HERE TO REQUEST THAT MY PROPERTY BE REZONED FROM R 60 TO
R 50.
THIS WOULD ALLOW ME TO SPLIT THE LOT, BUT IT WOULDN'T
REQUIRE IT.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A QUARTER OF AN ACRE, AND I
BELIEVE ITS HIGHEST AND BEST USE IS TO HAVE ONE OR TWO
LARGER NEW HOMES.
THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE MORE IN TAX REVENUES WITH NO ADDITIONAL
INFRASTRUCTURE AND NO ADDITIONAL COSTS TO THE CITY OR THE

COMMUNITY.
LARGER HOMES WILL SELL FOR MORE THAN MY EXISTING HOUSE COULD
EVER SELL FOR, WHICH INCREASES PROPERTY VALUES.
THERE ARE ONLY BENEFITS I BELIEVE, FOR THE CITY, FOR THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND FOR TAXPAYERS.
HIGHER DENSITY IS A GOOD THING.
THE CITY NEEDS MORE HOUSING.
THIS COULD CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE MORE.
GREATER DENSITY WILL NOT CAUSE HARM TO ANY PROPERTY NEARBY.
NO HARMS HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY THE VERY FEW LETTER
WRITERS OPPOSED TO MY APPLICATION WHO MENTION ONLY SOME
BROAD, UNSUPPORTED ALLEGATIONS.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS EACH ONE OF THOSE DIRECTLY.
ONE WAS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
EUCLID HAS SIDEWALKS AND PARKWAYS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
STREET.
THERE WILL BE NO EROSION OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
TRAFFIC, EUCLID IS A COLLECTOR STREET.
IT'S INTENDED TO GATHER TRAFFIC FROM NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS
AND FUNNEL IT INTO -- TO AND FROM MAIN THOROUGHFARES.
IT WILL NOT EXACERBATE TRAFFIC.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.
THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN MY RESIDENCE FOR 32 YEARS.
AND I'VE LOVED LIVING THERE.
DURING THAT TIME, HALF OF THE HOUSES ON THE FIRST TWO-BLOCK

STRETCH OF EUCLID HAVE BEEN REPLACED, DEMOLISHED AND
REPLACED.
LARGER, MORE EXPENSIVE, TWO- AND THREE-STORY HOMES HAVE
REPLACED.
MY HOUSE IS A MODEST, SINGLE-STORY RANCH BUILT IN 1961.
IT IS THE ONLY ORIGINAL HOME LEFT AND THE SMALLEST ON THE
STREET.
THE LARGER HOMES ON THE PROPERTY WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE
NEWER HOMES THAT ALREADY EXIST ON THE STREET THAT HAVE BEEN
BUILT SINCE I'VE LIVED THERE.
THIS WILL PUT THE PROPERTY MORE IN CHARACTER WITH THE
EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT WILL NOT SUFFER.
AND PRECEDENT I THINK IS THE BIG ONE.
THERE ARE ALREADY MULTIPLE PROPERTIES NEARBY THAT WERE
REZONED R 50, INCLUDING THE ONE IN THE PHOTO DIRECTLY ACROSS
THE STREET FROM ME.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF EUCLID.
THERE ARE ALSO MULTIPLE HOMES ON 55-FOOT LOTS ON STREETS
PARALLEL TO EUCLID, WHETHER THEY ARE ZONED THAT WAY OR NOT,
THAT IS THE SIZE OF THE LOT.
AND THEY ARE ALL ON THE SAME BLOCK AS MINE.
THE 2900 BLOCK.
IT IS THE FIRST BLOCK OFF BAYSHORE.
THESE HOMES EXIST ON WEST BAY VILLA, WEST BAY VISTA, WEST

BAY VIEW AND THE STREETS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF EUCLID AND
THERE IS AT LEAST ONE ON EL PRADO, A COUPLE OF STREETS NORTH
AND OTHERS IN THAT AREA.
WITHOUT REZONING, THE ALTERNATIVES ARE LESS DESIRABLE FOR
ALL PARTIES.
ONE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE THAT I HAVE TO SELL IT AS IT IS AT
A MUCH LOWER PRICE THAN ANY OTHER HOUSE ON THE BLOCK.
I'VE HAD MULTIPLE LOWBALL OFFERS.
75% OF ASKING PRICE.
SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO BUY IT TO LIVE IN IT, LIKE I DO.
SOME INTENDED TO RENT IT, AND SOME RENT IT OUT -- SOME
INTENDED TO DO A GUT RENOVATION, BUT NONE OF THESE
ALTERNATIVES WOULD BE AS BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED
PROPERTIES, NAMELY THE CITY, THE NEIGHBORS, AND ME.
IF I'M FORCED TO ACCEPT A LOWBALL OFFER, IT WOULD HARM
PROPERTY NEARBY BECAUSE MY PROPERTY WOULD BE A COMPARABLE
SALE WHEN OTHER PROPERTIES COME ON THE MARKET AND THAT WOULD
LOWER THE VALUE OF THOSE PROPERTIES.
IN SUMMARY, I JUST WANT MY PROPERTY REZONED FROM R 60 TO R
50 BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE.
I BELIEVE IT WILL INCREASE REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
I BELIEVE IT WILL INCREASE HOME VALUES.
I BELIEVE IT WILL FIT WELL INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I BELIEVE IT WILL CREATE NO COST OR PROBLEMS TO THE CITY OR
THE NEIGHBORS, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE PRECEDENTS FOR THE

REZONING.
I'D JUST LIKE THE CITY TO GIVE ME THE SAME OPPORTUNITY.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
5:42:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYTHING ELSE?
5:42:56PM >> THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR OUR CASE.
THANK YOU.
5:42:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO ITEM NUMBER 3?
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC, STAND UP ALONG THE LINE.
SIR, YOU CAN COME UP TO THE PODIUM.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
5:43:13PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS BILL WADSWORTH.
I LIFE AT 3611 BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, FOUR HOUSES DOWN FROM
THIS HOUSE.
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.
ALL DUE RESPECT, YOU ARE THE APPLICANT.
I WOULD TRY TO DO THE SAME THING.
EUCLID AVENUE IS NOT THE TYPICAL SIDE STREET OFF OF BAYSHORE
BOULEVARD.
THE CITY STAFF DID THE REPORT, I LOOKED AT THAT, THEY WENT
FIVE STREETS NORTH AND FIVE STREETS SOUTH.
AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HOUSES ON 50-FOOT LOTS ON THOSE

STREETS.
ON EUCLID AVENUE BETWEEN BAYSHORE AND MacDILL, THERE'S
22 PARCELS, ZERO HOUSES ARE ON A 50-FOOT LOT.
THERE ARE A -- THERE'S NUMBER OF 60-FOOT AND CURRENTLY ZONED
AS RS 60.
I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW THE TWO LOTS ACROSS THE STREET GOT
ZONED RS 50.
I WASN'T LIVING THERE AT THE TIME.
BUT I WAS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, AND I DON'T REMEMBER
GETTING A NOTICE.
AND I CAN TELL YOU, THE CITY STAFF QUOTE SAID THEY FIND THE
REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.
AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.
EUCLID, IT'S MORE THAN JUST YOUR TYPICAL TRAFFIC.
FIRE AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE ON THAT STREET ALL THE TIME.
BUSES, LARGE TRUCKS, CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS.
YES, THERE ARE SIDEWALKS ON EACH SIDE AND THAT IS A GOOD
THING BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEDESTRIANS.
MOTHERS WITH STROLLERS, ELDERLY PEOPLE, PEOPLE WALKING THEIR
DOGS.
I ALSO NOTICED THAT IN THE AGENDA PACKAGE FOR TODAY, THERE'S
ONLY TWO OPPOSITION LETTERS.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING WHEN THIS
CAME UP, THERE WERE PROBABLY SIX OR SEVEN OPPOSITION LETTERS
OR E-MAILS IN THAT FILE FOR THE AGENDA AT THAT TIME.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T CARRY FORWARD.
HOPEFULLY YOU SEE THEM AND HOPEFULLY THE CITY STAFF IS AWARE
OF THOSE.
BUT I PRINTED THEM.
I GUARANTEE YOU THEY WERE THERE.
I JUST THINK THERE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS.
THERE IS THE COASTAL HAZARD CONCERNS.
THERE'S ALL THE EXTRA THINGS -- IS THAT MY THREE MINUTES?
5:45:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS MORE.
5:45:48PM >> I JUST THINK THIS IS A BAD PLACE WHERE THERE'S ZERO
HOUSES ON 50-FOOT LOTS TO START THAT RIGHT NOW.
AND ONE OTHER THING, THIS PARTICULAR LOT, IT'S 110 FEET DEEP
VERSUS EVERYTHING ON THAT SIDE IS 145.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE 35 FEET WENT AT SOME POINT IN THE
PAST.
BUT TO TAKE AN EVEN SMALLER LOT AND CUT IT IN HALF, NOT A
GOOD IDEA.
5:46:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
MR. SHELBY, I KNOW WE RECEIVED THE E-MAILS.
ONLY TWO IN THE FILE?
I KNOW WE RECEIVED E-MAILS ON THIS.
5:46:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN UPLOADED.
FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE RECORD, TO DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A
MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THOSE INTO THE RECORD THAT HAVE

BEEN AVAILABLE?
5:46:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE
E-MAILS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED ON THIS ISSUE INTO THIS
FILE.
ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
I SEE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, I DIDN'T HEAR YOUR VOICE.
ARE YOU MUTED?
5:46:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AYE.
5:46:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NOBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC, RIGHT?
PUBLIC COMMENT IS CLOSED.
5:47:06PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY, IF
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME AND THEN
REBUTTAL.
5:47:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
NO.
DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO HAVE REBUTTAL?
HEARING NONE, WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
VERY GOOD.
I'LL START BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF SOMETHING THAT WAS --
WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE.
ABOUT THE SOUTH TAMPA BEING FULL, AND I'M EMPATHETIC WITH
THE HOMEOWNER, BUT AS WE SAW, STAFF HIGHLIGHTED OVER 53% OF
THE LOTS IN THIS AREA ARE ZONED RS 60.
IT'S DEFINITELY THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
SPECIFICALLY NORTH OF EUCLID, VAST MAJORITY.
AND IF WE START APPROVING THIS, IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE AND
PUTTING DENSITY IN AN AREA THAT WE DON'T WANT ADDITIONAL
DENSITY.
IN OTHER WORDS, ONE HOUSE IS THERE NOW.
WE SPLIT THIS, IT'S NOW TWO.
IF THAT TREND WOULD CONTINUE, IT'S IN AN AREA, WE'RE NOT
TRYING TO ENCOURAGE DENSITY IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA OF OUR
CITY, IN THIS PART OF SOUTH TAMPA.
WE'RE TRYING TO PUSH DENSITY INTO THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO THIS WOULD ABSOLUTELY GO AGAINST WHAT THIS CITY COUNCIL
HAS STOOD FOR.
ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW THE APPLICANT TALKED ABOUT WAS THE
DE MINIMIS, BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY
ENVIRONMENT WITH THE SIDEWALKS, YOU END UP HAVING AN

ADDITIONAL CURB CUT, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALSO ATTEMPT TO
TRY TO MINIMIZE ON THESE AREAS WITH SIDEWALKS AND BICYCLE
LANES, AS WE MINIMIZE THOSE CURB CUTS.
I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS EUCLIDEAN ZONING REQUEST.
ANYBODY ELSE?
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
5:48:50PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
IF THERE'S NOBODY ELSE, I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE A MOTION.
5:48:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
5:48:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'VE SAID, THEREFORE
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM 3, REZ 25-112
BASED ON THE INCONSISTENCY FINDING BY THE CITY AND IN REGARD
TO SPECIFICALLY THOSE PERCENTAGES THAT WERE SHOWN IN THE
STAFF REPORT, ALSO IN COMPARISON TO THE SURROUNDING AREA AND
WHAT YOU MENTIONED ABOUT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD, THE DENSITY,
THE INCREASING OF THE DENSITY AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE HEAR
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THAT THESE AREAS OF THE CITY THAT ARE
MOST VULNERABLE, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM, INCREASING THAT
DENSITY IS NOT A WISE DECISION.
THAT'S MY MOTION.
5:49:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
SORRY, ROLL CALL VOTE.

5:49:45PM >> YOUNG?
5:49:47PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
YES.
5:49:48PM >>LUIS VIERA:

5:49:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:

5:49:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES.
5:49:55PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5:49:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
JUST A REMINDER, WE CAN'T DO ELECTRONIC TONIGHT BECAUSE WE
HAVE A VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL THE ROLL CALL VOTES WILL HAVE TO BE VERBAL.

5:55:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

6:02:01PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
JAIME MAIER OF THE LAW FIRM HILL, WARD, HENDERSON
REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT, 101 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD,
SUITE 3700.
I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
I WILL BE SUPER QUICK.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF ADDITIONAL COLOR TO
PROVIDE HERE.
JUST THAT THE LOT IS .01 ACRES SHY OF WHAT THEY WOULD NEED
TO HAVE TWO UNITS BY RIGHT UNDER R-20.
SO WE ARE ENTERING INTO A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT, OR
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL, AND THE
AMOUNT WE'RE PAYING IS FOR THE FULL UNIT.
THAT I THINK IS A BENEFIT TO THE CITY.
I THINK -- WE THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE PROJECT.
NO WAIVERS AS YOU HEARD.
IT COMPLIES WITH EVERYTHING IT WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH,
JUST NEEDS THE PD FOR THE ADDITIONAL KICK IN DENSITY WHICH

WOULD BE PAID FOR.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL UNLESS THERE ARE ANY
QUESTIONS.
6:02:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.

GO AHEAD.
6:02:56PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
IS THERE A REASON WHY WENT FOR THE THREE
STORIES?
LOOKING AT THE SURROUNDING HOMES IN THE AREA.
6:03:11PM >> I THINK IT WAS A TWO-STORY ORIGINALLY.
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME THAT WAS TWO STORIES.
IF WE WEREN'T ASKING FOR A PD IT COULD BE THREE STORIES
BECAUSE WE'RE COMPLYING WITH THE HEIGHT.
I'M NOT THE CONTRACTOR, OF COURSE, SO I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT THE DESIGN DESIRE WAS, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY LANDED ON.
I THINK LARGELY BECAUSE THE GARAGE TAKES UP A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF THE FIRST FLOOR PRIMARILY.
6:03:32PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
OKAY.
6:03:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:05:16PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
IGNORE THAT SCRIBBLING.
I WROTE DOWN NOTES ON THE WRONG MAP.
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
WEST RIVERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD AND WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE,
ALSO WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE B.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE.
LOCATED SOUTH OF I-275 AND ONE BLOCK WEST OF JULIAN B. LANE
RIVERFRONT PARK.
THIS PORTION OF WEST LASALLE STREET PRIMARILY DEVELOPED WITH
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH TWO FAMILY USES TO THE SOUTH AND
MULTIFAMILY TO THE EAST.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE SITE DESIGNATED AS RESIDENTIAL 20, TO THE
EAST ALONG NORTH BOULEVARD ARE THE CMU 35, UMU 60 AND

RECREATION OPEN SPACE DESIGNATIONS.
REQUEST IS REZONE FROM RS 50 TO PD TO ALLOW TWO
SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED DWELLING UNITS ON VACANT SITE.
PROPOSAL CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE
R-20 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE STAFF AND FOUND IT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
BOTH UNITS ORIENT TOWARD WEST LASALLE STREET WITH SIDEWALK
CONNECTION TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
OVERALL PROPOSAL SUPPORTS COMPATIBLE INFILL WITHIN THE WEST
TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS.
6:06:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, MS. POPE.
6:06:27PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND
SURROUNDING AREAS.
YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED HERE IN RED.
HERE IS WEST LA SALLE.
HERE IS DELAWARE, MONROE, AND THIS IS NORTH BOULEVARD AND
275.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST

LASALLE STREET BETWEEN NORTH MONROE AND NORTH DELAWARE.
SURROUNDING AREA DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS COMPRISED OF
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLINGS TO THE NORTH, WEST, AND
EAST WITH RS 50 ZONING IN A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND TWO
FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY USE TO THE SOUTH.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THAT IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND IN THE STAFF REPORT, THERE
IS, IT SAYS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
THERE IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, BUT THERE IS ALSO A
MULTIFAMILY DIRECTLY SOUTH.
AND THEN THE ZONING, AS YOU MOVE EAST TOWARDS NORTH
BOULEVARD, THE ZONING TRANSITIONS TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL
ALONG NORTH BOULEVARD.
THIS IS JUST A MAP TO SHOW YOU THE SIZE OF THE LOTS.
THIS IS THE PARCEL IN THE HATCHED AREA, AND THIS IS
LA SALLE.
AND WHILE THE REZONING -- WHILE REZONINGS HAVE OCCURRED IN
THE IMMEDIATE AREA WEST OF DELAWARE, THE SUBJECT BLOCK
CONTAINS LARGER LOTS AT WIDTHS OF 100 FEET AND GREATER.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECENT REZONINGS ON THE SUBJECT BLOCK AND
THE PROPOSED LOTS ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN ON THIS BLOCK BETWEEN DELAWARE AVENUE AND MONROE
STREET.
NEXT I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
HERE IS WEST LA SALLE.

AND THEN THIS IS THE ADJACENT ALLEY TO THE REAR.
THE PROPOSAL SHOWS THE ONE CAR GARAGE FOR EACH UNIT AND THEN
ONE PARKING SPACE IN THE DRIVEWAY.
THE ENTRY IS FROM WEST LA SALLE.
AND THEN THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS GOING TO BE 35 FEET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT AND
ADJACENT TO AN ALLEY, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE.
THE OVERLAY STANDARDS REQUIRE VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM THE
ALLEY WHEN THE ALLEY IS OPEN AND USED.
THE ALLEY LOCATED SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY WHILE OPEN HAS BEEN
DETERMINED AS UNUSUAL -- UNUSABLE BY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
STAFF AND THEREFORE THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A WAIVER TO
THE STANDARD TO ALLOW FRONT ACCESS ON LA SALLE.
HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE FUTURE LAND USE IS R-20 WHICH ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF ONE
DWELLING UNIT BY RIGHT.
APPLICANT IS PROPOSING CONSTRUCTION OF TWO SEMI DETACHED
UNITS AND HAS ENTERED INTO A BONUS AGREEMENT FOR THE
ADDITIONAL UNIT.
THERE IS ONE WAIVER FOR THIS, AND THIS WAIVER IS THE REQUEST
TO ALLOW FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE LOT FROM THE FRONT
RATHER THAN FROM THE ALLEY.
NEXT I'LL SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF THE SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
ON LA SALLE.

THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
WEST OF THE SITE.
NORTH OF THE SITE.
NORTHEAST OF THE SITE AT THE CORNER OF MONROE AND LA SALLE.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING WEST ON LA SALLE FROM MONROE.
AND THIS IS THAT MULTIFAMILY THAT IS SOUTH OF THE PARCEL.
THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
PETITION AND FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
APPLICANT CITY OF TAMPA LAND REGULATIONS NOTWITHSTANDING
STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY.
IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, WAIVER REQUESTED,
MODIFICATION TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED
REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
6:10:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A QUESTION.
ANYBODY FROM TRANSPORTATION HERE?
6:10:32PM >> JONATHAN SCOTT FROM TRANSPORTATION.
6:10:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
JONATHAN SCOTT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT ALLEYS.
6:10:40PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
JONATHAN SCOTT, TRANSPORTATION.
6:10:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS ONE AND THE NEXT ONE.
I'M KIND OF CONFUSED BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE ALLEYS
ARE ACTUALLY FAIRLY DECENT SHAPE.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS ALLEY?

6:10:51PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
LET ME CHECK REAL QUICK ON THAT ONE.
6:10:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
6:11:27PM >> I DID CONDUCT A FIELD REVIEW OF THESE AND THEY ARE
PHYSICALLY OPEN.
THEY ARE UNPAVED AND DIDN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF REGULAR USE, SO
THEY DIDN'T MEET THAT DEFINITION OF OPEN END USED.
THAT WAS THE DETERMINATION THAT I HAD MADE WHEN I LOOKED AT
THIS ALLEY.
6:11:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, DID I SEE YOUR HAND
WAVE? I'M KIND OF FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA.
I'M NOT GOING TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY.
MAYBE I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT ABOUT THE ALLEY WHEN HE COMES
UP.
USUALLY BREEZES BY.
6:12:16PM >> I'M HERE FOR IT, SIR.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS JAMES LASCARA.
I AM THE APPLICANT AND OWNER OF 1008 WEST LASALLE STREET,
WHICH WE ARE PROPOSING FOR SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED USE.
PROPERTY WAS PREVIOUSLY A HOUSE DAMAGED IN A FIRE.
HAD A STANDING DEMOLITION ORDER FROM THE CITY FOR ABOUT A
YEAR BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT.
WANT TO SAY FIRST I LIVE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, THREE BLOCKS
AWAY ON GRAY STREET.

I'M ADVOCATE FOR SUPPORTING MY OWN NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEEING
IT IMPROVE FROM WITHIN.
I GO FOR A WALK EVERY DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ENJOY
LIVING HERE AND ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO
MEET.
I'M NOT AT ALL OPPOSED TO USING THE ALLEYS.
THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN OUR PROPOSAL FOR 1320 AND 1318 ARCH,
WHICH WE INCORPORATED THOUGHTFUL USE OF THE ALLEY FOR
VEHICLE INGRESS ON THOSE AS WELL AS ON 1112 LASALLE STREET,
WHICH HAD FOUR OF THE SIX UNITS USING ALLEY USE FOR THOSE
WHEN THE ALLEY WAS CONSIDERED OPENED AND USED.
ONE OF THE THINGS I APPRECIATE ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS
WALKABILITY TO OUR LARGER TAMPA COMMUNITY.
SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS TO THE SOUTH, THE NEW PUBLIX TO THE
NORTH, JULIAN B. LANE PARK TO THE EAST.
AND I'M EXCITED TO SAY THE RIVERWALK EXTENSION COMING SOON
DOWN ROME TO OUR WEST.
ENTERING THE FOURTH YEAR OF ME LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I
WANT TO SHARE THAT I'M COMMITTED TO RESPONSIBLE GROWTH IN
OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE WEST
TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND WEST TAMPA CRA MENTIONED BY STAFF.
AS A NEIGHBOR MYSELF, I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE MORE
FAMILIES AND RESTAURANTS TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE
NEIGHBORHOOD I ALSO APPRECIATE.
PART OF MY VISION FOR THE PROJECT.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT HAS ALSO BEEN STRONG.
I NOTICED BEFORE GETTING UP HERE, E-MAILS OF SUPPORT FROM
TAMPA RESIDENTS, FIVE OF WHICH ARE NEIGHBORS WITHIN JUST
BLOCKS OF THE PROJECT.
WHO KNOW THE COMMUNITY WELL AND RECOGNIZE THE BENEFITS OF
RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
ONLY WAIVER REQUESTED IS SUPPORTED BY STAFF FOR THE ALLEY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CODE GUIDELINES FOR WEST TAMPA OVERLAY,
SPECIFICALLY THE LANGUAGE OPEN AND USED.
I DO WANT TO DIVE DEEP NEAR THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, WHICH
WAS THE FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY.
I APPRECIATE STAFF'S ATTENTION -- I APPRECIATE STAFF'S
ATTENTION TO THIS SPECIFIC BLOCK.
IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
ALSO EXAMINING THE DEVELOPMENT FACTORS OF THE SURROUNDING
AREA.
I PUT FORTH HERE A GIS MAP THAT SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN AND CURRENT USE BY THE PARCEL.
BLOCK IS ATYPICAL IN THAT IT IS MADE UP OF LESS THAN HALF A
NORMAL SIZE BLOCK TOTALING FIVE PLATTED LOTS.
THE NORMAL SIZE BLOCK THAT EXISTS AS DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,
EVERY BLOCK WEST FOR NUMEROUS BLOCKS IS 12 PLATTED LOTS
WIDE.
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN FOR THE ENTIRE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
12 PLATTED LOTS INSTEAD OF FIVE.

INHERENTLY MEANS ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON ONE LOT OF THE
SUBJECT BLOCK WILL HAVE AN OUTSIZE INFLUENCE ON THE
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SINCE SIMPLY FEWER LOTS.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, HASN'T BEEN A CHANGE IN DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN ON THIS BLOCK SINCE RICHARD NIXON WAS PRESIDENT, BY
THE WAY, 1973.
I THINK THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, IS OUR CITY
DIFFERENT NOW THAN IT WAS IN 1973?
IF SO, SHOULD WE CONSIDER THOUGHTFUL INFILL DEVELOPMENT
DIFFERENTLY THAN WE DID 53 YEARS AGO.
DENSITY IN A KEY AREA OF THE CITY THAT SERVES OUR COMMUNITY.
I THINK SO.
THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS MORE HOUSING OPTIONS WITH UPDATED
AVAILABLE UNITS, AND I THINK THIS PROPOSAL IS A GOOD
SOLUTION FOR HOW THE MISSING MIDDLE GETS BUILT BY US
TOGETHER.
YELLOW PROPERTIES ARE PROPERTIES CURRENTLY HAVE
SINGLE-FAMILY USE.
IN ORANGE, MULTIUNIT PROPERTIES.
SAME TYPE OF USE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
I'VE DEPICTED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY GREEN DOT AND TWO
ADJACENT COMPARABLES TO THE SOUTH WITH BLACK DOTS.
IN TERMS OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES AND SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH AT 1007 ARCH STREET, TWO UNIT,
TWO-STORY, MULTIFAMILY ON A 50 BY 95 LOT.

TWO UNITS ON A 50 BY 95 LOT IS THE SAME PROPOSAL WITH THIS
APPLICATION, AND HAS THE SAME USE THAT ASSISTS --
6:15:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I CANNOT SEE THIS.
6:15:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CTTV, CAN WE GET THIS ON THE PUBLIC
SCREEN?
THERE WE GO.
THANK YOU.
6:16:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
6:16:06PM >> SO THE LOT TO THE SOUTH IS THE SAME USE THAT EXISTS FOR
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO PROPOSE.
HERE ARE THE PHOTOS AND PROPERTY RECORD CARDS.
1007 DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH FIRST.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS TWO STORIES, TWO UNITS, AND IT'S
ON A 50 BY 95.
DIRECTLY EAST OF THAT YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS ACTUALLY ON A
50 BY 95 AS WELL.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO FAST SO SHE CAN SEE.
TWO STORIES, FOUR UNITS AND ALSO ON A 50 BY 95.
THESE LOTS THAT I'M REFERRING TO ARE DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE
PROPERTY, DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
EXAMINE THE BROADER DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THIS AREA, EVERY
RESIDENTIAL BLOCK IN EVERY DIRECTION HAS AT LEAST TWO LOTS
OF ZONED OR BUILT MULTIUNIT DEVELOPMENT.
PARCELS ON EACH STREET, HERE ARE THE TOTALS.
STREET TO THE WEST IS 25 LOTS OF MULTIUNIT BY PARCEL.

THE STREET TO THE SOUTHWEST IS 17%.
THE STREET TO THE SOUTH OF THAT IS 33 PERCENT.
THE STREET IMMEDIATELY SOUTH IS 40 PERCENT.
WHICH CONSISTS OF THE CLOSEST COMPARABLES I MENTIONED AT
1007 AND 1005 ARCH STREET.
SOUTH OF THAT ALSO 40%.
IN CONCLUSION, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THIS PART OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD SHOWS THAT PROPOSAL IS IN LINE WITH WHAT EXISTS
IN THE SURROUNDING AREA NOW.
ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT THAT
PROVIDES A BENEFIT TO THE CITY IN THE FORM OF A PAYMENT
TOWARDS A COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT WHICH BENEFITS
OUR COMMUNITY EVEN FURTHER.
THIS PROJECT HELPS ADDRESS THE CONTINUED DEMAND FOR HOUSING
NEAR TAMPA'S URBAN CORE.
AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO GROW, PROVIDING A RANGE OF HOUSING
OPTIONS WITHIN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS IS AN IMPORTANT
PART OF SUPPORTING THAT GROWTH.
IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PROVIDE INFILL UNITS IN A
RESPONSIBLE WAY.
FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST APPROVAL OF REZ
26-02.
I DO WANT TO SHOW ALLEY.
6:17:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
LET'S SEE SOME ALLEYS.
6:17:57PM >> IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS.

6:18:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IT SEEMS LIKE BASED ON MY OWN OBSERVATION,
SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A DRIVABLE ALLEY.
6:18:10PM >> SO THE ISSUE IS I WOULD SAY MULTIFACETED. WE START TO
HAVE NATURAL RESOURCES CONFLICTS BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE
PUT IN A POSITION WHERE WE ARE REMOVING OTHER PEOPLE'S TREES
THAT ARE EITHER ON THE PROPERTY LINE OR ENCROACHING PAST THE
PROPERTY LINE.
AND WITH THE PRESENCE OF BRANCHES, BRUSH, TREES, AND ROOT
SYSTEMS, THERE REALLY IS NOT A CONSIDERATE WAY TO DO THAT
WITHOUT HAVING TO REMOVE OTHER NEIGHBORS' TREES THAT I DON'T
OWN ON MY PROPERTY.
SO THESE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PHOTOS
OF.
I HAVE SOME MORE AS WELL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ALLEY.
SO THERE ARE SEVERAL OAKS.
THIS IS NOT ON THE PROPERTY, BUT THERE'S SOME OVERHEAD
CLEARANCE CONCERNS WITH A TREE THAT ENCROACHES INTO THE
ALLEY.
LITTLE BIT OF HVAC EQUIPMENT THAT I BELIEVE ENCROACHES IN
THE ALLEY.
AND THEN I BELIEVE A SPECIMEN-SIZED HEALTHY LIVE OAK TREE
THAT'S ENCROACHING IN THE ALLEY.
THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE WAIVER IN THIS CASE.
6:19:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HOW WIDE IS THE ALLEY?
6:19:15PM >> PLATTED AS 14, BUT ANYTHING CAN BE THERE IN TERMS OF

TREES AND SUCH.
6:19:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BUT THE ALLEY IS 14 FEET, RIGHT?
6:19:24PM >> PART OF THE --
6:19:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
USUALLY YOUR STUFF JUST FLIES THROUGH.
AGAIN, THE ALLEY -- I MEAN, IT APPEARS DRIVABLE TO ME, AS
YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE SHOTS.
I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE ARE ALLEY-WIDE SHOTS.
AND I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THESE ARE ALONG THE EDGE OF
THE ALLEY.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A USABLE.
OF COURSE, IT IS IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.
THAT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT IS
US RECLAIMING THE USE OF THESE ALLEYS.
THE PROJECT ITSELF LOOKS GREAT.
BY THE WAY, FUNNY, SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THE DENSITY AND THE
ISSUE ON THIS BECAUSE TO ME THAT IS A NO-BRAINER.
I WENT RIGHT PAST THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT THERE AT JULIAN
B. LANE.
I GET IT.
INFILL, CREATING DENSITY THERE.
THAT'S NOT EVEN A FACTOR FOR ME.
THE ONLY FACTOR ON THIS IS THE ALLEYWAY, WHICH IF YOU LOOK
AT YOUR PLAN, IF THAT WAS FLIPPED WHERE YOU HAD ALLEY ACCESS
AND YOU HAD A PORCH ON THE FRONT, MAN, THIS WOULD BE A
BEAUTIFUL PROJECT FOR WEST TAMPA.

LITERALLY DO 180 DEGREES ON THIS HOUSE AND FLIP IT, IT WOULD
FIT PERFECTLY INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S MY ONLY DISCUSSION.
COUNCIL HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
6:20:40PM >> I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DOING AN ALLEY-FACING GARAGE IF IT'S
POSSIBLE TO DO A REVISION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
I JUST AS A THOUGHTFUL NEIGHBOR DEVELOPING IN MY OWN
COMMUNITY, I WANT TO PREVENT A SITUATION WHERE I'M KNOCKING
ON A NEIGHBOR'S DOOR, SAYING, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE OUT THE
TREE.
6:20:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I GET IT.
6:21:01PM >> I DON'T WANT TO BECOME THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE JUST FOR
THAT.
6:21:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU COULD BLAME IT ON US.
I KNOW WE RECENTLY JUST HAD A SITE PLAN WHERE WE CAME BACK
WITH TWO SHEETS OF AMENDMENTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING.
I KNOW THIS IS AN UNUSUAL, BUT IF THIS WAS LITERALLY JUST A
FLIP, HOW DIFFICULT WOULD THAT BE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND?
ON THE RECORD, PLEASE.
6:21:31PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THEY CAN DO THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
IT WOULD JUST MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT LONGER OF A SECOND
READING SO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THE SITE PLAN.
6:21:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GOTCHA.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STEPHANIE.
APPRECIATE IT.
DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE I ASK FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT?
6:21:47PM >> YES, SIR.
I WOULD ADD ONE MORE THING.
WE HAVE A PLAN, THIS EXACT PLAN FOR THE ALLEY-LOADED GARAGE.
IF WE THINK IT'S THAT IMPORTANT, WE CAN SUB THAT IN.
I DON'T THINK IT'S REALLY THAT COMPLICATED JUST FOR TWO
UNITS.
WE CAN ABSOLUTELY CONSIDER THAT.
6:22:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HATE TO BE THAT CURMUDGEON, BUT IT IS
THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
VERY GOOD.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
COME UP TO THE PODIUM.
START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
GOOD EVENING.
6:22:21PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS DELPHINE JONES.
I'M WITH WEST TAMPA CAC, BOARD MEMBER, THOUGH I'M NOT
REPRESENTING THEM.
I'M REPRESENTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WEST RIVERFRONT.
VICE PRESIDENT.

HE SAID HIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND HIS COMMUNITY, IT'S BEEN MY
COMMUNITY FOR 66 YEARS.
AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMUNITY.
AND WE DO CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY.
NOW, THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERLAY, THIS ALLEY,
WANTING TO PUT A GARAGE IN THE FRONT.
THE OTHER ISSUE WE HAVE, HE SAID HE HAD SO MANY E-MAILS.
WELL, HE DIDN'T HAND YOU THE E-MAIL OF THE PEOPLE.
BUT I HAVE MY NEIGHBORS HERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHAT IT IS.
AND IT'S BECOMING A PATTERN.
THAT'S MY PROBLEM WITH IT, TOO.
WE HAVE TOO MUCH DENSITY.
WE CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THIS IS A PATTERN.
NOW, IT STARTED OFF WITH ONE.
COUNT ABOUT FIVE OR SIX ON ANOTHER HAND.
IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO EVER STOP.
PLUS WE GOT THE PARK.
WE GOT UT STUDENTS, AND NOW YOU WANT TO ON ONE PARCEL PUT A
SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED.
I HAVEN'T HAD PEACE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 25 YEARS.
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.
BLOCKED IN, OKAY, I STAY ON LA SALLE, 1500 BLOCK.
THEN YOU GET DOWN THE STREET, HERE'S ONE OF THE

SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED IN THE MIDDLE.
I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE VIEW OF DOWNTOWN ANYMORE.
I'M NOT GETTING ANY PLEASURE OR RELAXATION IN MY OWN
NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I LIVED ALL MY LIFE.
NOW, SOME CHANGES ARE GOOD, BUT THIS IS JUST MUCH.
6:24:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:24:21PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I'M LOU SHEER.
I LIVE AT 1315 WEST STATE STREET.
I LIVE ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM THE SITE.
BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY WHEN HE SAID THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF
-- ENOUGH SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I'VE BEEN
ON MY BLOCK FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.
AND ABOUT SEVERAL, FOUR, FIVE NEW HOUSES ARE THERE.
SINGLE-FAMILY NICE RANCH HOMES.
EVERY HOUSE THAT GETS KNOCKED DOWN, EITHER TWO FAMILIES,
THEY PUT TWO STRUCTURES ON THERE, OR EITHER THEY BUILD A
QUADPLEX OR TRY TO BUILD A SINGLE DETACHMENT.
SO THERE ARE PLENTY SINGLE-FAMILIES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
LOTS HAVE BECOME MORE HOUSES THAN WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE.
I USED TO BE ABLE TO WALK OUT OF MY HOUSE AND LOOK FROM
STATE STREET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ARMENIA.

NOW WHEN I TURN RIGHT, I GOT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
NEIGHBORS, DEVELOPERS RIGHT ON CYPRESS.
I DON'T MIND PEOPLE COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT LIKE
DELPHINE SAID, WHEN YOU TRY TO COME OUT ON CYPRESS, YOU ARE
BLOCKED.
WE PUT UP SIGNS "DO NOT PARK" FROM HERE TO THERE.
SOME OF THE SIGNS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN.
YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT LIVE IN THOSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES.
WE CAN'T GET ACROSS CASS SOMETIMES FOR ALL THE TRAFFIC
THAT'S COMING TO GO TO WALMART OR COMING BACK.
BUT WE ARE SAYING WE DON'T MIND CHANGES.
OH, ANOTHER THING THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT, WE HAD A MEETING
AT JULIAN B. LANE ABOUT THE TWO-STORY HOUSES AND THERE WAS A
THREE-STORY HOUSE, CITY WORKER.
HE SAID THREE-STORY HOUSE SLIPPED IN SOME KIND OF WAY
THROUGH THE CITY.
HE SAID SLIPPED IN.
BUT SINCE THOSE YEARS HAVE PASSED, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL
THREE-STORY HOMES POPPING UP IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ON
DIFFERENT BLOCKS.
SO WE JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.
THREE-STORY HOME, FIRST TWO-STORY HOMES PUT ON A
SINGLE-FAMILY LOT.
NOW IT'S THREE STORY HOMES SQUEEZING IN ON CORNERS, IN

BETWEEN.
SO WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT SOMEBODY REMEMBER US THAT'S BEEN
THERE 40, 50, 60 YEARS, AND WE HAVE STUDENTS.
WE HAVE ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT NEED THE PARAMEDICS AND THE
EMERGENCY VEHICLES, SO WE JUST ASK THAT SOMEONE COULD LOOK
OUT FOR US AND NOT JUST BUILD, BUILD, BUILD.
THANK YOU.
6:26:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:27:08PM >> HI.
MY NAME IS LINDA HERNANDEZ.
I'VE BEEN LIVING ON NASSAU STREET FOR 57 YEARS.
IT'S GETTING OVERCROWDED.
DELPHINE, HER DAUGHTER, JUST IS ON HERE, SHE HAD AN
ACCIDENT, A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC
COMING THROUGH THERE.
THEY ARE NOT STOPPING.
WHEN I GO TO WALMART, ON OREGON, YOU GOTTA STOP AND YOU
GOTTA WAIT FOR TRAFFIC COMING YOUR WAY BECAUSE THEY ARE
PARKING AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH ROOM.
IT'S LIKE THEY ARE BUILDING THESE COMPLEXES UP.
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO PARK, AND YOU
CAN'T DRIVE BY.

AND WHEN YOU GO OUT OF CYPRESS, TRYING TO GET OVER, YOU
CAN'T SEE.
YOU GOT TO GUESS YOUR WAY OUT.
IT'S LIKE GOING TO BE AN ACCIDENT.
THEY NEED TO PUT A FOUR-WAY STOP IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE
THAT BECAUSE THOSE APARTMENTS THAT ARE OVER THERE, AND YOU
CAN'T SEE WHEN A CAR IS COMING.
I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
I'M AGAINST IT.
6:28:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHICH INTERSECTION ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
6:28:14PM >> I WAS TALKING ABOUT ON OREGON AND IF YOU -- COMING FROM
WALMART ON OREGON, AND IF YOU WANT TO CUT ACROSS CYPRESS.
6:28:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'LL BRING THAT TO MOBILITY'S ATTENTION.
THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK?
YES, SIR, COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
6:28:34PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS STANLEY SANDERS.
I LIVE ON THE 1100 BLOCK OF LA SALLE.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY I AM FOR THE APPROVAL OF THIS.
I'M A TAMPA BAY MEMBER FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS.
I'VE LIVED IN THIS HOUSE PROBABLY FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.

THE GENERAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS BASICALLY NEW
PARENT FAMILIES LIKE ME COMING IN, OLDER MEMBERS WHO HAVE
BEEN THERE FOR 40, 50, 60 YEARS, AND A LOT OF COLLEGE
STUDENTS.
BUILDING ON THESE LOTS ARE PRETTY EXPENSIVE, AS WE KNOW, SO
BREAKING THEM DOWN INTO TWO DOES MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE
AFFORDABLE FOR THE FAMILIES COMING IN.
AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN THE AREA.
I THINK WHAT THE APPLICANT IS DOING IS FAVORABLE FOR THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS WE KNOW, THESE HOUSES ONLY LAST SO LONG.
USUALLY THE OLDER THEY GET, THEY GO DOWN TWO ROUTES.
EITHER TEAR DOWN.
THEY SIT VACANT.
SOMETIMES THE MAINTENANCE WON'T BE THERE OR THEY HAVE TO
BUILD SOMETHING NEW.
THAT'S WHY I'M IN SUPPORT FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME,
IF WE'RE GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING NEW, WE'RE GOING TO BRING
THE DENSITY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE NEED.
THAT, MORE FAMILIES LIKE MY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY IN
THE FUTURE AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
6:30:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
COME ON UP.
06:30:17PM >> I HAVEN'T BEEN SWORN IN YET.
06:30:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
[SWEARING IN]
06:30:28PM >> I DO.
06:30:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
06:30:31PM >> CARLOS COREON.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I AM A RESIDENT AT 33607 IN WEST TAMPA, NEAR WEST LaSALLE.
WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF REZ 2602 REQUESTING A REZONING
FROM RS-50 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE MY SUPPORT FOR THIS REQUEST
AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA TO SEE HOW THIS
PART OF TAMPA HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND ATTRACT MORE
INTEREST FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE CLOSE TO THE CITY.
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT TAMPA IS FACING IS A NEED FOR MORE
HOUSING OPTIONS IN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS.
PROJECTS LIKE THIS HELPS CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE
PEOPLE TO LIVE NEAR PARKS, JOBS, AND AMENITIES THAT MAKE
TAMPA SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE.
WITH NEARBY DESTINATIONS LIKE JULIAN B. LANE BLOCK, RIVERWALK
EXTENSION, AND THE FUTURE ROME YARD DISTRICT, THIS PART OF
THE CITY HAS BECOME AN INCREASINGLY ATTRACTIVE PLACE FOR
RESIDENTS SUCH AS MYSELF WITH THOUGHTFUL RENOVATION OF AN
AREA LIKE THIS HELPS TO ENSURE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
CONTINUES TO GROW IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY.
AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES NEARBY, I WANT TO SEE THE AREA CONTINUE
TO THRIVE, I BELIEVE THIS PROPOSAL WILL BE A POSITIVE STEP
FORWARD FOR IN COMMUNITY.
FOR THESE REASONS, I ASK YOU TO APPROVE REZ 26-02.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:31:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC?
PUBLIC COMMENT IS CLOSED.
06:32:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.
06:32:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPLICANT, YOU HAVE REBUTTAL.
06:32:06PM >> YES, PLEASE.
I WANT TO MENTION ONE THING.
I HEARD THAT PARKING CONGESTION AND OVERALL TRAFFIC FLOW WAS
A CONCERN.
YOU KNOW, THE INTERSECTION AT THE CORNER OF OREGON AND
CYPRESS, AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH CONTROL OVER THAT.
I DO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE CAUTION AT THAT
INTERSECTION.
I PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED HOW CARS CAN WHIP THROUGH THERE.
IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD -- I WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT TAKING
ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT.
I WILL SAY, THOUGH, I MADE A GRAPHIC HERE.
SO WE JUST HAD THE PBS "BE MY NEIGHBOR."
AND EVERYTHING I ALIGNED IN RED THERE, THEY ARE PARKING
BUMPER-TO-BUMPER ACROSS OUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I DID MY WALK THAT DAY. AND I SAID THIS IS KIND OF CRAZY AND
THAT WAS A WEEK AGO.
I THINK IT IS KIND OF WORTH MENTIONING THAT IS ALSO OUTSIDE OF
MY CONTROL.
THINGS LIKE THAT DON'T HAPPEN OFTEN.
BUT A RECENT MEMORY OF SUPER CONGESTED PARKING RIGHT IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD.
06:33:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT'S GOOD.
I DIDN'T IMPLY THAT MOBILITY ISSUES WERE THE DEVELOPER'S
PROBLEMS.
THAT IS HIGHLIGHTING OUR FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS TO MOBILITY
ABOUT THAT INTERSECTION SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR
ATTENTION.
MISS POPE, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD?
06:33:26PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
FOR THE RECORD, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONFIRM THAT THE
APPLICANT IS OKAY WITH IMPROVING THE ALLEY FROM NORTH
DELAWARE TO THE PARCEL SHOULD HE USE THE ALLEYWAY FOR
ENTRYWAY TO THE PROJECT.
06:33:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CAN YOU COME BACK UP TO THE MICROPHONE,
JAMES?
06:33:50PM >> SORRY, THE QUESTION IS, AM I AGREEING TO THAT, TO PAVING
THE ALLEY TO THE NEAREST RIGHT-OF-WAY WHICH IS TO WEST?
06:33:58PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES, SIR.
06:33:59PM >> YES, I AGREE TO THAT.
06:34:01PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
AN ADDITIONAL ITEM WOULD BE FOR THE SECOND
READING, THE APPLICANT WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL WEEKS IN ORDER
TO REVISE THE SITE PLAN.
SO WOULD THERE BE ANOTHER SECOND READING THAT WOULD BE AFTER
APRIL 2 THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT?
06:34:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CLERK, CAN YOU LOOK AT THAT FOR US?
06:34:32PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THE 16th OF APRIL?
IS THAT A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME?
06:34:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT'S THAT?
06:35:01PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I AM LOOKING AT YOUR CALENDAR, AND THE NEXT
REGULAR SESSION AFTER IS THE 16th OF APRIL.
WILL THAT GIVE HER ENOUGH TIME?
06:35:09PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES, SIR.
06:35:11PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ROOM FOR A SECOND READING.
06:35:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
LET'S GO FOR THAT.
ARE YOU GOOD?
ALL THUMBS UP?
OKAY.
APRIL 16 WILL BE THE SECOND.
OKAY.
SO IF WE READ THIS, IF IT PASSES, THAT WILL BE IT.
CAN I REENTERTAIN THE MOTION TO CLOSE?
06:35:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SO MOVED.
06:35:30PM >>LUIS VIERA:

ITEM NUMBER 7.
06:37:08PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 7, REZ 26-03 TO REZONE FOR RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
06:37:27PM >>QUINN STEELE:
QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
IT IS IN THE WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND IN EVACUATION
ZONE C.
IT IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE.
TWO BLOCKS WEST OF THE PREVIOUS CASE AND SOUTH OF 275.
THIS PORTION OF WEST LaSALLE IS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY
HOMES WITH TWO-FAMILY AND INSTITUTIONAL USES NEARBY, EXCUSE
ME, INCLUDING THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WEST TAMPA, WHICH
IS RIGHT HERE.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE SITE DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL-20, NORTH
OF R-35, AND MMU 5 DESIGNATION.
REQUEST FROM RS-50 TO PD TO ALLOW FOUR SEMI-DETACHED UNITS
ON A VACANT SITE.
DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD FRONT DOORS OF
WEST LaSALLE WITH PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO THE SIDEWALK.
INFILL WITHIN WEST TAMPA AND CONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
06:38:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.
06:38:34PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THIS IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE WE JUST WERE.
HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON THE NORTH SIDE
OF WEST LaSALLE.
THIS IS OREGON, ROME, AND NORTH BOULEVARD IS OVER HERE, 275
THERE.
SUBJECT SITE IS SURROUNDED BY RS-50, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
USES.
SOME RECENT REZONINGS IN THE AREA THAT YOU CAN SEE ALONG
HERE.
SOME OF THEM ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND SOME OF THEM ARE
SEMI-DETACHED.
NEXT, WE WILL SHOW THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
HERE IS WEST LaSALLE.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TWO SEMI-DETACHED UNITS WITH
FRONTAGE ALONG WEST LaSALLE, WHICH IS HERE.
THERE IS A ONE-CAR GARAGE AND ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EACH
UNIT.
ENTRY IS FROM WEST LaSALLE.
EACH UNIT IS PROPOSED TO BE TWO STORIES.
HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE SUBJECT SITE IN WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND R-20 THAT ALLOWS
FOR THREE UNITS PER RIGHT.
GIVEN THE SIZE THE APPLICANT IS WANTING FOUR UNITS AND
ENTERED A BONUS AGREEMENT FOR THE ADDITIONAL UNIT.
TWO WAIVERS REQUESTED.
ONE WAIVER TO REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE
LOT TO THE FRONT RATHER THAN THE ALLEY AND A SECOND WAIVER
TO REDUCE BUILDING SEPARATION FROM 15 FEET TO 10 FOOT, 8
INCHES.
NEXT, I WILL SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE AS YOU CAN SEE, THE EXIST HOMES
ON-SITE WERE RECENTLY DEMOLISHED.
EAST OF SITE LOOKING TOWARD NORTH WILLOW.
THIS IS SOUTHWEST OF THE SITE ON WEST LaSALLE.
WEST OF THE SITE.
THIS IS WEST MORE TOWARD OREGON.
AND THEN THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
SHOULD CITY COUNCIL APPROVE APPLICATION AND WAIVERS
REQUESTED, THE MODIFICATION TO THE SITE PLAN IS SHOWN ON THE
SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
06:41:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I GUESS YOU ARE ANTICIPATING WHAT MY NEXT
QUESTION WILL BE.
TRANSPORTATION.
06:41:26PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
YES, SIR.
SO FOR THE --
06:41:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FOR THE ALLEY?
06:41:36PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
FOR THE ALLEY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASK STAFF --
06:41:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES, SIR.
YOU CAN COME UP.
DO YOU WANT TO DO IT -- DO YOU WANT OUR STAFF TO COME UP AND
TALK ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION, TALK ABOUT THE ALLEY?
LET'S GET STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE AND THEN THE APPLICANT.
06:42:01PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
JONATHAN SCOTT, TRANSPORTATION.
06:42:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
LOADING FROM THE BACK OF THE ADJACENT
PROPERTY.
REAR-FACING GARAGES ON THIS ALLEY.
06:42:09PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
I DIDN'T SEE ANY.
06:42:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK THERE IS BASED AND MY OBSERVATIONS
ON GOOGLE MAPS.
06:42:14PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
IT IS NOT PAVED EITHER, BUT THIS ONE IS -- I 06:42:17PM MEAN, YOU CAN DRIVE ON IT.
IT IS DRIVABLE.
06:42:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU SAW REAR-LOADING GARAGES ON THE ALLEY
TO THE EAST -- IN MY RESEARCH, I THINK, TO THE EAST OF IT.
06:42:26PM >>JONATHAN SCOTT:
OKAY.
06:42:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE WILL TALK THE APPLICANT.
THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE?
HEARING NONE, APPLICANT.
06:42:35PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS, JAMES LASCARA, OWNER OF
WEST LaSALLE STREET FOR FOUR-UNIT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
WE CAN START WITH YOUR QUESTIONS.
YOU HAVE A QUESTION OF WHERE GARAGES ARE FACING THE ALLEY?
06:42:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I BELIEVE IN MY RESEARCH LOOKING AT THIS,
THERE ARE REAR-LOADING GARAGES ON THE ALLEY ALREADY ON THAT
LOT -- ON THAT BLOCK.
06:43:03PM >> I MADE A DIAGRAM OF THE -- IN SHORT, THERE ARE NO
PROPERTIES ON THIS BLOCK THAT ARE USING ALLEY.
IT IS IN RED.
THERE ARE NO PROPERTIES.
THERE ARE NONE.
06:43:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IN GOOGLE MAP, I THOUGHT I SAW CARS PARKED
IN BACK.
06:43:24PM >> INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, I DID TALK TO DELPHINE BEFORE THIS
HEARING THIS EVENING AND APPRECIATED HER COMMENTS.
WE DO HAVE A -- A PARKING CHALLENGE.
AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THE -- LOTS MARKED IN
RED HAD ZERO ON-SITE PARKING.
SUBJECT IN GREEN AND ZERO PARKING.
AND THESE FOUR, WHICH ARE MORE NARROW HOMES.
THERE IS A -- THERE IS A PARCEL OF VACANT LAND AND THEN THE
-- THE ONE ON THE END DOES NOT HAVE ANY ON-SITE PARKING
DESIGNATED.
YOU WILL SEE IT ON OVERHEAD.
THAT LEADS TO PEOPLE PARKING IN THE FRONT BECAUSE NO ON-SITE
PARKING.
06:44:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MAYBE THEY ARE PARKING IN THE BACK BECAUSE
OF GOOGLE MAPS.
06:44:20PM >>THE STAFF REPORT FOUND WE ARE CONSISTENT IN EVERY
DEPARTMENT AND THE PROPERTY WAS -- THE PROPERTY WAS
HISTORICALLY FOUR UNITS.
WE ARE INTENDING TO KEEP IT FOUR UNITS.
2022, THE PROPERTY WAS BOARDED UP AND UNOCCUPIED.
BY 2025, IT ACCUMULATED AN ARRAY -- ABUNDANCE OF CODE
VIOLATIONS FOR OVERGROWTH AND DISREPAIR AND WE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER AND IN THAT
PROCESS, WE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY AND CURED THE CODE
VIOLATIONS AND PURCHASED IT FROM THE FORMER OWNER.
SINCE MOVING IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT IS KIND OF HOW IT
LOOKED.
THIS IS A THOUGHTFUL ADDITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT
IS GROWING.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT HAS BEEN STRONG FROM PEOPLE WITHIN A BLOCK
OF THE PROPOSAL THAT HE SPOKEN WITH.
THE ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION.
ONLY ONE WAIVER WE ARE REQUESTING, WHICH IS THE ALLEY WAIVER.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A WAIVER REQUIRED WHEN WE HAVE TEN
FEET OF SEPARATION ON THE SITE PLAN WHEN WE INTEND TO SELL
THE UNITS FEE SIMPLE.
SO THAT MIGHT BE A POINT OF CLARIFICATION HERE IN A SECOND.
I AM OPEN TO A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ALLEY.
I THINK I HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL ALLEY COMMENTS AND PHOTOS
FROM THE SITE THAT I WILL SHOW.
IT IS SIMILAR.
THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS -- WE WILL BE ENCROACHING INTO THIS
PROTECTED ROOT ZONE OF THIS OAK THAT IS TO THE WEST.
I WILL GIVE IT A SECOND SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT.
THERE IS AN OAK IN THE BACK YARD OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS
FURTHEST --
06:46:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT IS IN THE BACK YARD, RIGHT?
06:46:11PM >> ADJACENT TO THE ALLEY.
IT IS NOT BLOCKING THE ALLEY.
06:46:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY, GOTCHA.
06:46:16PM >> AND TO THE EAST, WE GOT OUT AND MEASURED, AND SOME CONCERN
OF THE TREES GROWING AND ENCROACHING ON ALLEY.
A 14-FOOT-WIDE PLATTED ALLEY, BUT THE PLAT DOESN'T CARE
WHERE THE TREES GROW.
I WILL LEAVE THAT FOR A SECOND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
06:46:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I MEAN, BASED ON WHAT I SAW, SEEMS TO BE
A LOT OF TIRE TREADS.
FDOT USING THAT ALLEY TO ACCESS THE INTERSTATE?
A LOT OF TIRE TREADS IN THERE.
WHO DO YOU THINK IS USING THAT?
06:46:55PM >> SORRY, TIRE TRACKS --
06:46:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TENDS TO BE TREADED AND VEGETATION IS
TAPPED DOWN SHOWS THAT THE ALLEY IS BEING USED BY SOMEBODY,
LIKE FDOT.
HAVE YOU BEEN OUT THERE TO SEE THAT?
06:47:09PM >> I NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE WHEN I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE, SIR.
06:47:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GOTCHA.
OKAY.
WHAT STRUGGLE WOULD YOU HAVE TO DO THE BACK LOADING ALLEYS?06:47:20PM WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OF THAT AS FAR AS THE DEVELOPER?
06:47:24PM >> OF THE PAVING TO THE NEAREST RIGHT-OF-WAY?
06:47:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PAVING AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN ITSELF.
WHAT CHALLENGES WOULD YOU HAVE IF YOU DID A BACK-LOADING
ALLEY.
06:47:35PM >> I THINK I AM CONCERNED WITH TWO THINGS.
I AM CONCERNED THAT IT STARTS TO BECOME A BOTHER FOR SOMEONE
WHO OCCUPIES THE STRUCTURE.
AND THEN THEY END UP PARKING IN THE FRONT ANYWAY.
AND THAT COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE THAT WE
ARE TRYING TO AVOID TO START WITH BY PUTTING PARKING IN THE
REAR.
IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING THE SITE, JUST THE COORDINATION WITH
NEIGHBORS AND THERE ARE ODD TREE THINGS SINCE THE TREE IS ON
THEIR LOT OR IN THE ALLEY OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN AND HOW DO
WE REALLY NAVIGATE THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO REMOVE TREE WHEN IT
IS NEEDED WHEN IT IS NOT A SITE THAT I HAVE OWN.
I NEVER HAVE DONE THAT.
SO I WOULD HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
06:48:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
ANYTHING ELSE?
06:48:19PM >> SIR, KIND OF THE SAME REASONS AS MENTIONED BEFORE.
RESPECTFULLY, REQUEST APPROVAL OF REZ-26-03.
06:48:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE?
06:48:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO.
06:48:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY CONCERNS OF ALLEY ACCESS ON THIS?
06:48:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DO, BUT -- THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PERFECT
PLACE TO HAVE ALLEY ACCESS BECAUSE IT BACKS UP TO THE
INTERSTATE.
SO, YEAH, I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS.
06:48:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
ANYBODY ELSE?
06:49:02PM >> SORRY, SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS.
I AM WILLING TO DO THE SAME THING.
NOT MY FIRST PREFERENCE BUT WILLING TO DO THE SAME THING AS
THE OTHER SITE, IF THAT IS AN OPTION.
06:49:11PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF I MAY, LET ME JUST READ THIS ABOUT THE
ALLEY.
PLANNING COMMISSION SAID -- I AM JUST LOOKING AT IT.
IT IS ON PAGE 6 OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT, HOWEVER
CORRESPONDING WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA TRANSPORTATION
DEPARTMENT UPLOADED ON ACELA JANUARY 2026, ADJACENT ALLEY IS
OPEN AND UNPAVED AND NO REGULAR VEHICLE USE BASED ON THE
EXISTING CONDITIONS, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT REPRESENT THE
CITY'S FOR OF THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST OF THE ALLEY.
I BELIEVE I HAVE THE RIGHT ONE, NUMBER 7, RIGHT?
AND ALL THE PUBLIC PORTION OF LaSALLE STREET BETWEEN NORTH
WILLOW AND NORTH OREGON, EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE IS
DEVELOPED IN 12.5 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BASED ON SEVEN
SAMPLE SITES.
62.5% OF DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER RESIDENTIAL-20
DESIGNATION.
IF APPROVED, PD WILL ALLOW FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR
DWELLING UNITS AND DENSITY OF 18.18 UNITS PER ACRE.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT REFLECTS THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN OF AN AVERAGE DENSITY AND A PORTION OF LaSALLE
STREET.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED REZONING
WOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
FOR HOUSING AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER DENSITY IN THE SURROUNDING
AREA SUPPORTED BY PLAN POLICY 9.7.1.
I NEVER MET OR TALKED TO THIS GENTLEMAN IN MY LIFE.
ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T THINK ANYBODY -- THE DENSITY --
06:50:50PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WHILE WE ARE DOING SOMETHING OF THAT.
06:50:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IMPORTANT FOR THE NEIGHBORS.
WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT ANTICIPATES THIS DENSITY.
THAT IS NOT EVEN UNDER DISCUSSION BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY
ALLOWED DENSITY IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND DIRECTING
GROWTH.
AGAIN, IT IS IRONIC -- I AM NOT STRONGLY FEEL OF THIS ALLEY
AS I WAS THE OTHER ONE.
BUT DO YOU ALREADY HAVE PLANS DRAWN UP FOR THIS -- FOR THE
ALLEY FACING THE FOURPLEX HERE?
06:51:23PM >> WE HAVE BOTH VERSIONS.
WE HAVE A 50 X 95 TWO-UNIT SITE THAT FACES THE STREET WITH A
SINGLE-CAR GARAGE AND ANOTHER VERSION THAT FACES THE ALLEY.
06:51:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE LOVE THE STREET FACING PORCHES, WEST
TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT.
I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO.
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, I THINK IDEALLY, THAT IS
THE BETTER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS LOCATION AND TRYING TO USE
THAT.
AGAIN, HAVING THAT FORWARD FACING.
WE ARE ALL BIG FANS OF YOUR PROJECTS.
I THINK WHAT YOU TRY TO DO IS REALLY GOOD IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT, YEAH, I WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT.
I MEAN, I AM ONLY ONE OF SEVEN, BUT THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY.
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, YOU WANT TO DO THE MICROPHONE?
06:52:14PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I WOULD AGREE.
I WAS LOOKING -- YOU SHOWED DRAWINGS.
BUT HAVING THE PORCH IN THE FRONT SEEMS TO KIND OF FIT THE
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF THAT IS POSSIBLE WE CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE, I WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THAT.
06:52:27PM >> I HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING ON-BOARD SOME CHANGES.
JUST SO I UNDERSTAND WHICH CHANGES ARE YOU ASKING FOR
SPECIFICALLY, THE GARAGE IN THE REAR?
06:52:36PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT?
06:52:39PM >> YEAH.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SHARE THE SCREEN?
THAT IS A RENDERING HOW IT WILL LOOK WITH THE GARAGE IN THE
FRONT.
NO ISSUE WITH CHANGING REAR, BUT HOW IT.
06:52:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OBVIOUSLY PRETTY BUT SUBURBAN COMPARED TO
URBAN IN WEST TAMPA LOOK AT THAT, YOU WOULDN'T -- YOU WOULD
CRY OUT BRANDON, YOU WOULDN'T CRY OUT WEST TAMPA.
A PRETTY HOUSE.
BEAUTIFUL DESIGN.
BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR THAT -- FOR THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY
DISTRICT.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR THAT PORCH.
TO GET NEIGHBORS OUT IN THE FRONT YARD.
HAVING PARKING LOCATION IN THE BACK WOULD BE GREAT.
ANYBODY ELSE?
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SHARE?
I THINK WE BEAT THAT DEAD HORSE.
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
06:53:32PM >> DELPHINE JONES, 1518 WEST LaSALLE STREET.
CRIME WATCH GROUP.
I AM IN AGREEANCE WITH THE PARKING IN THE BACK, BECAUSE THAT
IS THE OVERLAY STANDARDS.
AND SHE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THREE UNITS INSTEAD OF
FOUR, IF I -- IF I HEARD RIGHT.
DID -- I KNOW IT IS FOUR UNITS, BUT I THOUGHT SOMEWHERE
THERE YOU SAID IT COULD BE THREE UNITS INSTEAD OF FOUR.
06:54:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE WILL ADDRESS THAT WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED
-- THAT QUESTION.
06:54:06PM >> SO THAT WOULD BE GOOD, BECAUSE THAT LOT -- LIVED THERE
ALL MY LIFE.
THAT LOT IS NOT THAT BIG.
I AM NOT REALLY IN AGREEANCE WITH IT THAT MUCH, BECAUSE,
LIKE I SAID, I THINK IT IS TOO MUCH DENSITY.
AND WE CAN'T GET OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
MY DAUGHTER JUST HAD AN ACCIDENT.
SOMEONE RAM HER INTO THE HOUSE.
THOSE ARE THE PROBLEMS WE KEEP HAVING.
SO I AM JUST NOT HAPPY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT HAVEN'T
BEEN A NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ME FOR 25 YEARS.
06:54:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MISS POPE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THE
BONUS DENSITY?
SHE WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION FOR YOU.
06:54:48PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
SOME WITH THEIR FUTURE LAND USE OF R- 20.
THEY ARE ALLOWED THREE UNITS BY RIGHT, AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED
-- AGREED TO A BONUS PROVISION THAT ALLOWS AN EXTRA UNIT TO
ALLOW FOR FOUR UNITS IN TOTAL.
06:55:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK?
START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
06:55:08PM >> MY NAME IS LINDA HERNANDEZ.
AND I AM AGAINST IT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE GARAGES,
THEY HAVE FAMILY THAT ARE GOING TO COME AND THERE WILL BE
PARKING EVERYWHERE.
SO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE GARAGES, THAT DON'T MEAN NOTHING TO
ME, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TRAFFIC AND IF WE HAVE EVENTS,
WE STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO GET BY.
THAT IS MY CONCERN.
06:55:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MA'AM.
NEXT SPEAKER?
ANYBODY ELSE?
06:55:44PM >> HELLO, COUNCILMEN, AGAIN, MY NAME IS STANLEY.
I LIVE IN THE BLOCK ONE BLOCK EAST OF THE PROPERTY.
WANTED TO SHARE MY SUPPORT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT THE
PROPERTY.
THIS PROPERTY 1307 HAS BEEN VACANT WITHOUT PROPER
MAINTENANCE, BECOMING AN EYESORE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE ON
THE STREET.
SEEING SOMEONE STEP IN WITH THE INTENTION TO IMPROVE AND
REDEVELOP THE PROPERTY IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF OUR
RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME.
I AM ENCOURAGING THIS SITE.
PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS FOUR UNITS.
AGAIN, HE IS ASKING FOR FOUR UNITS.
I WOULD SAY ON -- ON THE PARKING ISSUE, I -- I PERSONALLY
LIKE PARKING IN THE FRONT.
I KNOW A LOT OF THE -- THE NEIGHBORS AND HOUSES ON THE
STREET ALSO HAVE FRONT PARKING.
IF THEY DON'T, WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS THEY PARK ON -- ON
THE STREET OR ON THE GRASS ITSELF.
I THINK THAT PUTTING THE GARAGES FRONT FACING JUST MAKES IT
EASY.
I THINK THAT WE DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE THE
ALLEYWAYS, BUT I THINK THE -- WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS THEY
DON'T JUST USE IT, AND THEY KIND OF PARK WHERE IT IS MOST
CONVENIENT.
USUALLY WHAT IS MOST CONVENIENT IS RIGHT ON THE FRONT OR ON
THE GRASS.
I THINK GIVEN THAT OPTION TO PUT IT THERE IN FRONT, JUST
MAKES IT REALLY EASY FOR THE RESIDENTS.
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE THERE.
I KNOW NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES THEY HAVE THE DRIVEWAYS IN THE
FRONT.
AS STATED BEFORE, ON THE WEST SIDE, THEY DO NOT.
THEY HAVE NO PARKING AT ALL.
THEY ALL PARK ON THE STREET ANYWAYS.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
06:57:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
START WITH YOUR NAME PLEASE.
06:57:40PM >> I WAS WONDERING WHY IT COULDN'T BE TWO FAMILY HOMES
INSTEAD OF FOUR.
BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO ADD MORE TRAFFIC AND MORE DENSITY
TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU.
06:57:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
06:58:01PM >> CARLOS CAREON.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
LIVE IN THE SAME ZIP CODE AS THE PROPERTY WEST LaSALLE
STREET, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE REZ 26-03 REQUESTING A
REZONING FROM RS-50 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
I WANTED TO COME TONIGHT TO SHARE MY SUPPORT FOR THIS REQUEST,
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM.
THIS PROPOSAL REFLECT THE TIME OF THOUGHTFUL INVESTMENT THAT
HELPS NEIGHBORHOODS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AS THE CITY GROW.
THIS PART OF TAMPA IS IN A UNIQUE POSITION WITH MAJOR
AMENITIES AND DEVELOPMENT NEARBY.
PROJECTS LIKE THIS HELP TO ENSURE THE PROPERTIES KEEP PACE
WITH THE POSITIVE MOMENTUM HAPPENING AROUND THEM.
RESPONSIBLE REDEVELOPMENT CAN BRING NEW RESIDENTS AND
ACTIVITY THAT HELP SUPPORT COMMUNITY GROWTH AND DELIVER
UNITS OUR CITY NEEDS.
AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN AREA AND WANTS TO SEE THE
NEIGHBORHOOD CONTINUE IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION, I BELIEVE
THIS PROJECT IS A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD OF GROWTH AND TAKING
PLACE IN THE WEST RIVERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD.
FOR THOSE REASONS, I ENCOURAGE TO YOU APPROVE REZ 26-03.
06:59:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
HEARING NONE.
APPLICANT.
06:59:21PM >> JAMES LASCARA, APPLICANT.
TONIGHT, I WANTED TO REAFFIRM, FOUR UNITS BEFORE, FOUR UNITS
AFTER.
THIS PROPERTY WAS AN EYESORE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR
FOUR-PLUS YEARS, AND IT WAS NOT BUYABLE TO RESTORE.
IT WAS TOO FAR GONE.
ROOF WAS CAVING IN.
NO ISSUE WITH PARKING IN THE REAR ON PUBLIC RECORD.
WANT TO STATE THAT, NO ISSUE WITH PARKING IN THE REAR AND
IMPROVE THE ALLEY TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, WHICH IS WILLOW.
TO THE EAST.
AND ONE THING I DID WANT TO MENTION IS THE BONUS PROVISION
THAT I AM ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO GET
THE FOURTH UNIT AND CARRIES MULTIPLE TENS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT FOR THE CITY AS DOING THIS
PROJECT.
THAT CONCLUDES MY POINT.
07:00:10PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
I WANT TO STATE ON THE RECORD THAT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS
SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY ONE WAIVER, AND THAT IS THE WAIVER TO
REQUEST OR ALLOW FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE LOT FROM THE
FRONT RATHER THAN FROM THE ALLEY; HOWEVER, IF THE APPLICANT
DOES CHANGE THE PLAN AND ALLOW ALLEY ACCESS AND IMPROVEMENT
TO THE NEAREST RIGHT-OF-WAY TO THE ALLEY AND THE ADDITION OF
PORCHES IN THE FRONT WOULD ELIMINATE THAT WAIVER AS WELL AND
THEN THERE WOULD BE NO WAIVERS.
07:00:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT IS VERY GOOD.
CAN I GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?

JUST DETACHED HOMES, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE THE DIRECTION OF

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE

SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS
APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE
AS STATED IN THE REVISION SHEET.
AND THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE ISSUES OF
TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENT FINDING.
I BELIEVE WE ALSO PASSED OUT -- JONATHAN, HAVE WE PASSED
THOSE OUT YET?
MY APOLOGIES, I MEANT TO NOTE THIS EARLIER.
WE MADE SOME VERY MINOR CHANGES TO THE -- TO THE WAIVERS
RELATED TO NATURAL RESOURCES.
I DID READ THOSE WAIVERS INTO THE RECORD AS PART OF MY
PRESENTATION.
AND SO WE UPDATED BOTH THE REVISION SHEETS.
AND WE MADE SOME CORRECTIONS TO THE STAFF REPORT.
I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT MENTIONING THOSE EARLIER.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY YOU MAY HAVE.
I WILL GIVE YOU A FEW MOMENTS SINCE WE JUST PASSED OUT THOSE
CHANGES.
07:26:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT WHAT THE CHANGES WERE?
07:26:21PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
WE DID SOME FINE TUNING ON NATURAL
RESOURCES REVISIONS.
WE ALSO MADE A VERY MINOR CHANGE TO PAGE NUMBER 3, WHERE WE
TALKED ABOUT EXISTING USES.
WE PREVIOUSLY LISTED BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES
AND BANK USES, AND WE HAVE CUT THAT DOWN TO JUST REFERENCE
BANK USES AS THE PREVIOUS USE ON THE SITE.
07:26:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
APPLICANT?
07:26:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS TYLER HUDSON, ADDRESS 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE, AND
WE WILL MOVE ALONG.
AS YOU CAN SEE BROUGHT FRIENDS WITH ME.
AN HONOR TO BE HERE WITH UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA, THE PROPERTY
OWNER AND RISE, THEIR DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, THE LEADING
STUDENT HOUSING DEVELOPER IN THE COUNTRY.
THIS PROPERTY WILL BE OWNED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA FOR
SOME TIME AND OPERATED AS A STUDENT HOUSING FACILITY, WHICH
SCOTT WILL TOUCH ON IN A MOMENT.
I AM NOT GOING TO DO FULL-BLOWN INTRODUCTIONS.
OUR PROJECT TEAM HERE, ALL OF THE ENGINEERS.
THE LEADING STUDENT HOUSING ARCHITECTS IN THE COUNTRY.
AND, OF COURSE, AS WITH ANY PROJECT I AM INVOLVED WITH,
RICKY PETERIKA WITH DARK MOSS IS OUR ARBORIST.
TO SET THE TABLE A LITTLE BIT.
WHILE THIS IS SOMEWHAT BLANK PIECE OF LAND, NOT BLANK FROM
AN ENTITLEMENT PERSPECTIVE.
SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER BACK IN 2022, WE WERE HERE FOR A PD
BUILDING FOR A MULTIFAMILY THAT WAS INTENDED.
IT WAS A PRIVATE MARKET RATE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
IT WAS NOT PURSUED WITH COORDINATION OF THE UNIVERSITY.
IT WAS 23 STORIES ABOUT A 6.7 F.A.R. AND NEAR FILLING UP THE
POTENTIAL DENSITY CUP AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN A LITTLE BIT.
WE ARE PROPOSING A REDUCED PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT THE
UNIVERSITY'S NEEDS ARE.
SCOTT IS -- IS GOING TO TOUCH ON THAT.
I WILL SAY, LIKE MOST MULTIFAMILY PDs OF VINTAGE 2022, THIS
WAS NEVER BUILT FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, ONE OF WHICH AS
WAS A VERY DIFFICULT PROJECT TO CAPITALIZE.
SCOTT, IF HE DESIRES, CAN TALK OF HOW THAT WILL WORK FOR
THIS SITE, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE VERY CLEAR, THAT UNLIKE THE
LAST PROPOSAL, THIS IS BEING PURSUED BY UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA
FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA.
SO WITH THAT, SCOTT, WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA, IS GOING TO
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THIS PROJECT, AS IT CURRENTLY
ENTITLED. WILL NOT WORK AND WHY WE ARE HERE SEEKING A
NEW PD ENTITLEMENT.
07:29:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GOOD EVENING, SCOTT.
07:29:16PM >> SCOTT GOSEN, WEST WATROUS, ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT WITH
DESIGN FACILITIES WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.
YOU KNOW, I REALLY WANT TO KIND OF GET INTO THE WHY AND THE
HOW OF DOING THIS PROJECT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE PRIVATE MARKET REFUSES TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
STUDENT HOUSING FOR OUR STUDENTS.
BECAUSE OF THAT, IT HAS FORCED THE UNIVERSITY TO STAY IN
THIS MARKET.
SO REALLY WHAT OUR GOAL HERE IS TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR OUR STUDENTS.
WHEN OUR STUDENTS LIVE ON CAMPUS, THEY PAY, DEPENDING ON THE
TPD, IS $800 PER BED ON A NINE-MONTH LEASE.
WHEN WE PROVIDE HOUSING, THEY ARE PAYING $1600 PER MONTH PER
BED ON A 12-MONTH LEASE.
WHAT THAT MEANS FROM OUR STUDENTS, MEAN OF OUR RATES, A 213%
INCREASE IN THEIR COSTS.
COSTS INCLUDE UTILITIES, PARKING, AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.
SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT IS THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF
COMPLAINTS WITH OUR PARENTS WHEN WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THEIR
NEEDS.
WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE WAIVERS THAT WE ARE REQUESTING
ON HERE.
I THINK ONE THING THAT I WANT TO STRESS HERE TODAY IS I
THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS AS A COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT
OVERALL WITH THE UNIVERSITY.
THIS IS NOT A STANDARD PROJECT ALONE, WHICH IS HOW IT READS
HERE TODAY.
WE HAVE 1,122 PARKING SPACES ON CAMPUS BASED ON OUR
INCREMENTAL SUBMITTAL
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A PARKING REQUIREMENT OF 4400 PARK SPACES
ON CAMPUS.
THAT GIVES US IN EXCESS OF 722 SPACES ON CAMPUS.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS PARCEL IS WITHIN A
VERY SHORT WALKING DISTANCE OF CAMPUS.
SO OUR PLAN, JUST LIKE WE DO FOR ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS, WE
PARK INSTITUTIONALLY.
WE DO NOT PARK BY INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS AND WILL HAD BEEN
CONSISTENT WITH EVERY OTHER STUDENT HOUSING BUILDING WE HAVE
ON CAMPUS.
THE BUILDING ITSELF IS ASSIGNING FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES.
THOSE ON CITY COUNCIL WHEN I WAS HERE ON THIS PROJECT, I WENT
INTO THIS IN LENGTH.
FRESHMEN, PER OUR POLICIES, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A CAR TO
CAMPUS AND ARE NOT GIVING A PARKING PERMIT.
MAJORITY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A CAR TO CAMPUS OR PARK ON
CAMPUS.
SOPHOMORES ASSIGNED TO THIS BUILDING, THEY WILL PARK IN THE
THOMAS PARKING GARAGE WHICH IS ONE BLOCK -- I
DON'T KNOW THE EXACT FEET DISTANCE BUT EXTREMELY CLOSE.
SAME THING WITH GREEN SPACE.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS INSTITUTIONAL AREA CAMPUS-WISE.
I THINK NATURAL RESOURCE WOULD AGREE, BUT WE CONSIDER
OURSELVES TO BE THE GREEN STANDARD IN THE CITY OF TAMPA WHEN
IT COMES TO OUR TREE CANOPY AND GREEN SPACE ON CAMPUS.
EVERY STUDENT WHO LIVES IN THIS BUILDING WILL HAVE ACCESS TO
OUR ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE ON CAMPUS.
WORTH NOTING THAT WE BUILT A LARGE COMMUNITY SPACE ON THE
SECOND FLOOR FOR ALL THESE STUDENTS THAT HAS LANDSCAPING AND
OUTDOOR COMMUNITY SPACE.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
GREEN IS FOR STORM DRAINAGE AND ALSO FOR AMENITY SPACE.
AND I THINK WE HANDLED BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES WITH DESIGN.
I KNOW CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE DISAPPOINTED WE WERE
REDUCING THE F.A.R. ON IN PROJECT.
I THINK ONE THING WAY TO LIKE TO POINT OUT ON THAT, THE
BUILDING WE ARE BUILDING IS 11 STORIES VERY CONSISTENT WITH
THE OTHER BUILDINGS WE HAVE ON CAMPUS.
WE REALLY WANTED THIS TO KIND OF BE BROUGHT INTO THE GENERAL
FABRIC OF THE CAMPUS, WHICH THE ARCHITECTURE DOES A GOOD JOB
OF THIS AS WELL.
ONE THING WE FOUND, WHEN YOU GO VERTICAL, YOU CREATE SMALLER
FLOOR PLATES, WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR STUDENTS TO FIND
THEIR COMMUNITY WHEN THEY LIVE IN THOSE TYPE OF PROJECTS, AND
WE TYPICALLY LIKE LARGER FOOTPRINT, LOWER BUILDING THAT
HELPS CREATE A HIGHER USE OF OUR COMMUNITY SPACES INSIDE THE
BUILDING.
WITH THAT, I WILL HAND IT OFF TO OUR TEAM.
THANK YOU.
07:33:19PM >> MY NAME IS CHRIS FORTNER.
LET'S SEE IF THIS IS PICKING UP.
OKAY.
GREAT.
I WILL JUST SUMMARIZE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT.
SCOTT STOLE A LOT OF MY THUNDER, BUT I WILL PROVIDE SOME
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THERE.
AGAIN, JUST TO ORIENT YOU ALL A LITTLE FURTHER.
11-STORY BUILDING.
238 UNITS.
833 STUDENT BEDS HERE AGAIN ORIENT ALONG SOUTH BOULEVARD.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME SET GROUND FLOOR USES.
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY HIGHLIGHTING MAIN ENTRY, LOBBY, AND LOUNGE.
2,000-SQUARE-FOOT GRAB AND GO DINING COMPONENT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE BUILDING AND HOUSING OFFICES, STAFF OFFICES,
ESSENTIAL PROGRAM IN TERMS OF, LIKE, UTILITY, WATER, FIRE
COMMAND CENTER AND OPERATIONAL OFFICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND -- AND BIKE PARKING ARE SOME OF THINGS WE HAVE ON THE
GROUND FLOOR.
SCOTT MENTIONED THE 2400-SQUARE-FOOT AMENITY TERRACE ON THE
SECOND LEVEL.
WE HAVE ACCESS TO FIELDING AND WEST CLEVELAND.
AND WE ARE SHOWING THE 41 PARKING SPACES THERE.
WE CALL THEM ESSENTIAL PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE FOR STAFF
TO LIVE IN THE BUILDING AND STAFF THAT ARE OPERATING BUILDING.
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME SHARED SPACES THROUGH A PRIVATE
AGREEMENT FOR THE PARCEL ADJACENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE IMPROVED STREETSCAPE ALONG PARTICULARLY
SOUTH BOULEVARD, BUT WE ARE ADDING THAT STREET LIGHTING,
PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING THAT DOESN'T EXCITE TODAY.
WE DO NOT SHOW SEPARATE BIKE PARKING IN OUR PD PLAN OUTSIDE
THE BIKE ROOM BUT WE PLAN TO ADD BIKE PARKING ALONG SOUTH
BOULEVARD TO INCREASE OUR BIKE PARKING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER
OUTSIDE OF STORAGE ROOM.
AND -- AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWO TREES
AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY.
JUST THE PROJECT COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS PROJECT
THAN SCOTT MENTIONED AND SOME OF DIFFERENCES LIKE WE MENTIONED,
THE 23 STORIES VERSUS 11 STORIES.
ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF CURB CUTS.
PREVIOUS PROJECT HAD A PARKING DECK.
WE HAVE SURFACE PARKING HERE, BUT SPATIALLY, THE USE ON THE
SITE IS ABOUT THE SAME IN TERMS OF THE SITE AREA USED FOR
EACH.
I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER BIG DIFFERENCES SCOTT MENTIONED,
THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA WAS OPPOSED TO SORT OF A MARKET RATE
-- THE PREVIOUS PROJECT FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING,
MULTIFAMILY.
THIS PROJECT HERE IS IN FULL SUPPORT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
TAMPA.
AND I WOULD SAY DESIGNED IN COORDINATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY
OF TAMPA.
WE HAD NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS MEETINGS GOING ON THE DESIGN
PROJECT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA STAFF TO REFINE THIS
PROJECT.
AGAIN, IT WAS REFERENCED THE PREVIOUS PROJECT WAIVERS THAT
WERE LISTED.
THIS IS JUST A QUICK COMPARISON OF THE PREVIOUS WAIVERS
VERSUS THE ONES THAT WE ARE REQUESTING NOW.
THERE WERE -- THERE IS ONE WE ARE NOT REQUESTING AND THEN
THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL ONES, BUT FOUR OF THE WAIVERS, EVEN
THOUGH WE UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT VESTED IN THIS PROJECT, WE
ARE ASKING FOR FOUR WAIVERS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
AGAIN, THIS SORT OF SPEAKS TO SOME OF THE WAIVERS HERE AND
JUST SORT OF HIGHLIGHTING.
I KNOW THE USE AREA ADJACENT TO THE STREETS WAS REDUCED.
AGAIN, WE WERE TRYING TO MAXIMIZE THE ESSENTIAL PARKING FOR
THE SITE, WHILE STILL ALLOWING FOR TERMINAL ISLANDS TO ALLOW
FOR THE TREES, WHICH I THINK IS THE INTENT OF THE CODE THERE.
AGAIN, WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING THE PROPERTY THAT IS AT -- THE
BUFFER THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE -- TO ADJACENT PROPERTY.
AS I MENTIONED, THE SHARED PARKING THAT WE ARE LOOKING
PARTICULARLY AT.
AN ACCESSIBLE SPACE THAT WE ARE PROVIDING FOR THE LAW FIRM.
NOT HAVING THAT BUFFER BENEFITS BOTH PROJECTS FOR ALLOWING
THE PARKING AND HAVING THAT PARKING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THE ADJACENT PARCEL REALLY HELPS ADJACENT PARCEL.
SO THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR THAT.
SCOTT HAD MENTION THE PARKING AND THE PROXIMITY.
YOU KNOW WE ARE 715 FEET AWAY FROM RICK THOMAS GARAGE THERE.
I BELIEVE IN THE EXISTING PD-A THAT THE UNIVERSITY HAS FOR
PARKING, THERE IS ABOUT 750 EXCESS PARKING SPACES AVAILABLE.
AS SCOTT MENTIONED, MOST OF THE PEOPLE LIVING HERE WILL BE
FRESHMEN.
THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING CARS TO CAMPUS AND THAT HELPS.
I BELIEVE IN THE T.I.A. THE ALTERNATE PARKING STUDY THAT
BASICALLY SHOWS THE DEMAND OF 123 SPACE IS REALLY THE DEMAND
FOR THIS PROJECT AND IN EXCESS OF 123 PARKING SPACES IN THE
RICK THOMAS GARAGE UNDER 1,000 FEET, 750 FEET AWAY FROM
CAMPUS.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE GREEN SPACE.
SCOTT MENTIONED IT.
YOU KNOW, THEIR 2400 SQUARE FEET OF AMENITY SPACE THAT WE
ARE FINDING ON THE SECOND LEVEL HAS A SAFE, SECURE PLACE,
EXTERIOR COVERED SO YOU CAN USE THAT SPACE YEAR ROUND FOR
THE STUDENTS, AND REALLY THAT IS ABOUT 49% OF THE REQUIRED
GREEN SPACE THERE ON-SITE.
AND THEN, AGAIN, THIS GREEN SPACE REQUIREMENT IS REALLY
COMING INTO PLAY.
WE DON'T HAVE THE GARAGE TO SORT OF TAKE UP THAT BUILDING
AREA.
SO IT IS CREATING THAT -- THAT AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE.
BUT, AGAIN, JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS PROJECT, WE HAVE
ESSENTIAL GROUND FLOOR BUILDING USES, YOU KNOW, TO OPERATE
THE BUILDING.
AND AS SCOTT MENTIONED OF RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES ABOVE, THE
SIZE OF THEM.
THEY ARE ALSO SIZED APPROPRIATELY WITH THE R.A. RATIO.
THE TWO WINGS OF THE BUILDING SORT OF REALLY IS IDEALLY SORT
OF SCALED.
AND SO THAT IS ANOTHER REASON WE ARE REQUESTING THAT WAIVER.
AS SCOTT MINUTED, YOU KNOW, UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA PROVIDES THE
GREEN SPACE TO BENEFIT OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND HAVE.
AND GREEN SPACES AT THE UNIVERSITY.
I THINK SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD IS FOR TYPE ONE
TREES.
CURRENTLY IN OUR PD PLAN, A COMBINATION OF TYPE ONE AND TYPE
TWO TREES.
WE REALLY CONSIDERED AND GONE AND THOUGHT ABOUT TYPE ONE
TREES.
WE ARE PROPOSING A TEN-FOOT-LONG, 6 X 15 PLANTING BUFFER.
EXTEND THAT TO 6 X 16.
AND PROVIDE MORE TYPE ONE TREES AND LOOKING AT SPECIALTY
CULTIVARS THAT ARE MORE UPRIGHT IN NATURE.
OBVIOUSLY, THINKING OF HOW THE TREES WILL THRIVE.
PROVIDING STRUCTURAL SOIL ALONG THE STREETSCAPE TO ALLOW THE
ROOT ZONE TO REALLY BUILD TO BE HEALTHY.
AND TYPE ONE ALONG EACH STREETSCAPE OF WEST CLEVELAND AND
SOUTH FIELDING.
WE ARE NOT SHOWING IT IN OUR PD BUT WILL IDENTIFY IT BETWEEN
FIRST AND SECOND READING, AND ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I
NEGLECTED TO MENTION.
OUR CURRENT PD PLAN THAT WE HAVE A ZERO SETBACK ON SOUTH
BOULEVARD.
AND SITS BACK AN ADDITIONAL 18 FEET AT THE ENTRY AND ANOTHER
NINE FEET ALONG THE DINING -- GRAB AND GO DINING THAT I
MENTIONED ALONG THE NORTHERN SIDE OF SOUTH BOULEVARD.
AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
07:41:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE APPLICANT?
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
07:41:35PM >>BILL CARLSON:
TYLER, DID YOU -- MR. HUDSON, I REMEMBER
THAT CASE VERY WELL FROM A FEW YEARS AGO.
COULD YOU JUST TELL -- YOU SHOWED THE RENDERINGS A MINUTE
AGO.
COULD YOU REMIND EVERYBODY WHAT WAS BUILT IF YOU DID THE OLD
PROJECT?
WHAT IS APPROVED RIGHT NOW?
07:41:54PM >> SURE, A BUILDING THAT IS LITERALLY TWICE THE SIZE.
THEY HAD A REALLY SIGNIFICANT PARKING WAIVER THERE.
IT WAS REALLY -- THAT DEVELOPER.
SCOTT WAS NOT FOND OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.
UNITY IS A GREAT THING.
THE CITY CODE IS REQUIRING MORE PARKING SPACES IF YOU GET TO
AN INCREMENTAL POINT WITH BEDROOMS.
SIGNIFICANT PARKING WAIVER.
07:42:24PM >>BILL CARLSON:
TELL US THE DIFFERENCE.
07:42:26PM >> 40% PARKING WAIVER BASED ON NUMBER OF BEDROOMS.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT --
07:42:33PM >>BILL CARLSON:
HOW MANY UNITS?
HOW MANY PARKING SPACES WERE NOT COVERED THERE?
07:42:39PM >> HOW MANY PARKING SPACES -- LIKE 150, I BELIEVE, 200.
07:42:44PM >>BILL CARLSON:
HOW MANY ARE YOU ASKING?
07:42:47PM >> REDUCTION HERE IS AROUND 400.
A GREATER DEGREE, BUT AGAIN, THE WHOLE POINT AND THE DISSENT
WITH THE UNIVERSITY WAS, THERE WAS NO CONTROL.
COULD HAVE BEEN A BUNCH OF RANDOM PEOPLE LIVING THERE, AND
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UNIVERSITY.
SINCE THE UNIVERSITY OWNS THIS, WHEN SCOTT SAYS IT GOING TO
BE FRESHMEN, HE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FRESHMEN.
07:43:08PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I REMEMBER -- SCOTT MAY COME AND SAY IT.
BUT DR. VAUGHN CAME IN AND SPOKE AS WELL.
NOT CONNECTED TO THE SCHOOL.
07:43:29PM >> IT WAS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STYLE.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS THAT PARK IN THOSE PROJECTS.
AND PARK BETWEEN 77% AND 85% STATISTICALLY ON CAMPUS.
SO THE PREVIOUS PROJECT HAD 19 STALL PARKING GARAGE.
FEW SURFACE AND WAS ABOUT 200.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS ON THERE.
WE WERE CONCERNED THEY WOULD PARK ON CAMPUS.
07:43:52PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ANY NEW PARKING ON CAMPUS COMPARED TO THAT
APPLICATION?
07:43:56PM >> WHEN WE OPENED THE GRANT CENTER, PUT 450 STALLS IN THE
GRANT CENTER WHEN WE JUST OPENED THAT.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A SURPLUS OF PARKING.
ON OUR MASTER PLAN, WE HAVE ANOTHER GARAGE.
IF WE ARE BUTTING UP AGAINST THOSE BOUNDARIES, WE WILL BUILD
ANOTHER DECK TO HANDLE FUTURE PARKING ISSUES.
07:44:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION.
07:44:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CCTV, PUT THIS UP.
07:44:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS THIS APARTMENT STYLE OR MORE DORM STYLE?
07:44:35PM >> DORM STYLE.
SO IT IS THE SAME -- THE SAME STYLE OF HOUSING IN THE GRANT
CENTER.
JACK AND JILL BATHROOM WITH TWO TWO-BED UNITS.
07:44:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO KITCHENS.
07:44:48PM >> NO KITCHENS.
07:44:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS THE IMPORTANT THING FOR ME IS THIS IS
TRULY A DORM.
MY SECONDARY QUESTION GOES TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE 800
BEDS, AND YOU HAD TO KNOW THIS WAS COMING, 54 BIKE PARKING
SPACES PROTECTED.
AND THAT IS JUST -- THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH, I DON'T
BELIEVE, FOR THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS.
EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE AN 1/8 OR 1/10.
BIKE PARKING -- I KNOW YOU TALKED OF ADDING A BIKE PARK ALONG
SOUTH BOULEVARD.
BIKES AVERAGE $2,000 TO $3,000 FOR LOW-END BIKES.
STUDENTS WITH GOOD BIKES ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO PARK THOSE
ON THE STREETS.
I WAS HOPING THERE WILL BE MORE INTERIOR BIKE PARKING FOR
RESIDENTS.
07:45:35PM >> AND, MISS HURTAK, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE ARE -- WE ARE
ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, WHEN YOU SUBMIT A PD, YOU HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING
THAT YOU GUARANTEE YOU ARE GOING TO HIT, IF THAT MAKES
SENSE.
07:45:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SURE.
07:45:48PM >> WE DEFINITELY CHALLENGED THE TEAM.
MANIPULATING THINGS LIKE GENERATOR SIZE AND THESE THINGS.
WE ARE AWARE THAT WE WANT TO GET MORE PARKING SPACES.
ALL OF THE BIKE SPACES ARE PROTECTED, INDOOR AND COVERED.
LOW-HANGING FRUIT TO ADD SOME OTHERS.
I THINK YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS, BUT WE RECENTLY BECAME A
BIKE-CERTIFIED CAMPUS.
WE HAVE A BIKE SHARE PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE ANOTHER PROTECTED
BIKE SHELTER.
YOU GO IN THE FITNESS CENTER, ALL THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE
ACCESS TO THE FREE BIKES WITH THEIR STUDENT ID CARD.
I AM WITH YOU.
I WANT TO GET MORE BIKE PARKING SPACE ON THIS LOT.
WE WANT A NUMBER WE KNEW WE CAN BEAT AND ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES TO THE STUDENTS.
I AM WITH YOU.
WE WANT TO PROMOTE MORE MULTIMODAL.
07:46:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, I APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT IS JUST ONE THING I WOULD LOVE TO SEE.
OTHERWISE, I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFUL DETAIL THAT WENT INTO
THIS.
THANK YOU.
07:46:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
07:46:55PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
ALONG THE SAME LINES, DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TIME WE WERE 07:47:01PM HERE ON THE PROPERTY, AND I REMEMBER PRESIDENT VAUGHN HERE.
YOU HAVE EXCESSIVE PARKING AREA.
I SEE MORE KIDS WALK UP AND DOWN.
THEY WALK EVERYWHERE.
KENNEDY BOULEVARD AT 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON OR 6:00 IN
EVENING AND 11:00.
YOU SEE KIDS WALKING EVERYWHERE AND ENJOYING TAMPA.
AND I BELIEVE -- THERE IS NO STATISTICS ON THIS.
BUT I WANT TO MAKING IT PERMANENT HOME.
WAS LIKE THAT 50 YEARS AGO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WHEN SAW THE NAME THOMAS ON THE GARAGE.
I BELIEVE THAT GENTLEMAN PLAYED FOOTBALL.
A FANTASTIC PLAYER.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE PLAYED DEFENSE OR OFFENSE.
DEFENSIVE BACK OR WIDEOUT.
BUT HE PLAYED FANTASTIC WITH METUSAK, AND ALL THOSE GUYS AND
JACKSON.
THEY WERE FANTASTIC.
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ZONING.
BUT THAT UNIVERSITY HAS BECOME AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE
CITY OF TAMPA WHETHER THIS PASSES OR NOT.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
AND THE PAST PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING
JOB THAT IT HAS DONE WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.
WE HAVE VERY LITTLE PROBLEMS WITH THE UNIVERSITY, I AM GLAD
TO SEE THAT, IF ANY AT ALL.
BEFORE I VOTE, YEAH, HE WENT THERE, BILL POPE SAID ITS TOO
SMART TO BE STUPID, AND I THINK STUPID, BETTER AND
SMARTER.
GO BACK LAST TWO YEARS AND I HAVE BEEN A DONOR EVERY YEAR.
I WILL SAY THAT BEFORE I VOTE SO NOBODY SAYS MIRANDA IS
DOING SOMETHING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
AND THAT IS TODAY'S POLITICS.
WASN'T LIKE THAT 50 YEARS AGO.
07:48:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DID YOU BREATHE DURING THAT ENTIRE
DISCUSSION?
07:48:51PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
PARDON ME?
MIRANDA MARATHON I DON'T HAVE TO BREATHE, I HAVE FOUR LUNGS.
07:48:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WAS GOING TO REQUEST THAT YOU HAVE A
DISCLOSURE ON YOUR ALMA MATER WITH THAT GLOWING REVIEW.
SCOTT, I CONCUR WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND NOT AS
FANATICAL ABOUT THE BICYCLES.
I WAS A CAMPUS GUY A 1,000 YEARS AGO WITH A BICYCLE.
YOU NEED MORE BICYCLES AND CAUGHT MY IDEA OF BOULEVARD.
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE BICYCLES ON THE SIDEWALKS.
07:49:28PM >> SILL BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE TEAM WAS LOOKING
TO PUT IT.
WHERE THE BUILDING SETS BACK NORTH OF ENTRANCE.
07:49:34PM >> AGAIN, CHRIS FORTNER.
WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FURNITURE ZONE.
CREATING A DEFINED FURNITURE ZONE WHERE WE HAVE OUR LIGHT
POLE.
THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE TREE WELLS.
WE WERE KIND OF THINKING FOR SHORT-TERM PARK WHERE THAT
WOULD BE.
I AM GOING HOME.
I NEED TO RUN UP OR SPEND SOME TIME OR VISIT A FRIEND.
THAT IS REALLY WHAT THEY WERE INTENDED FOR.
MAY BE SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITY.
07:50:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL TOO OFTEN WITH THESE RENTAL BIKES, I
SEE THEM, AND THEY ARE LAYING ON SIDEWALKS.
07:50:11PM >> WE ARE PLAGUED WITH IT.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
07:50:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY OTHER OPTION NOT DIRECTLY ON THE
SIDEWALK SHOULD BE PURSUED.
INTERESTING LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN.
I MISSED THAT LAW FIRM.
I CAN'T FIGURE WHY YOU HAD THAT BUILDING SET BACK THE WAY
FROM CLEVELAND.
WHY DIDN'T YOU THINK IT FORWARD TO THE STREET.
GET IT.
YOU HAVE A BUILDING THERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WAS MIXED ON THE -- COPIES THAT I SAW
THAT THERE WAS A BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
07:50:39PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YEAH, JUST TO ADD.
WHEN SPEAKING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
OF THIS CASE -- THE OTHER CASE, I WILL ASK THE STUDENTS HOW
MANY OF YOU RIDE YOUR BICYCLE TO CAMPUS?
HOW MANY OF YOU DRIVE?
AND HOW MANY WALK?
ALMOST 100% DRIVING.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I -- I RARELY SEE BICYCLES ON CAMPUS.
AND I KNOW IT IS AN ASPIRATION, BUT EVERYBODY IS DRIVING.
AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, IF -- IF WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF
PARKING SPACES, HOW MANY SPACES ARE THE BICYCLE RACKS TAKING
UP.
BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE WE ASPIRE TO DO SOMETHING
DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE WILL DO IT.
I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT IF STUDENTS ARE -- GRANTED, I DON'T
SPEAK TO FRESHMAN CLASSES AND THE OLDER ONES.
I WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA TOO.
EXCEPT FOR THE FOREIGN STUDENTS, I THINK ALMOST ALL OF THEM
HAD CARS.
MAY NOT DRIVE IT ON CAMPUS, BUT IF THEY -- IF THEY HAVE A
CAR THEY HAVE TO GO TO GROCERY STORE WITH OR WHATEVER -- TO
GET TO THEIR JOB, AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PARK THAT?
07:51:45PM >> SO, A GREAT QUESTION, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
SO IF YOU LOOK ACROSS OUR CAMPUS, KIND OF SIMILAR TO THE
COMMENT OF PARKING AND GREEN SPACE.
WE HAVE CONSOLIDATED BIKE STORAGE AREAS.
RICK THOMAS GARAGE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO UNDERNEATH THE
RAMP, UNDERNEATH THE HUGE BIKE STORAGE AREA.
ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, FROM FRONT DOOR OF CAMPUS SAFETY.
OF OUR STUDENTS KEEP THEIR BIKES THERE.
NEW STORAGE IN GRANT CENTER, WE KEEP IT THERE.
VERY UNSUCCESSFUL BIKE PARKING TO GO BACK TO YOUR COMMENT.
WE BUILT THE DELAWARE PARKING GARAGE ON WEST SIDE OF CAMPUS
THE GARAGE BEHIND THE LA CROSSE STADIUM THE ONE THAT DR.
VAUGHN AND I BUILT, WHAT, SIX YEARS AGO.
WE PUT A BEAUTIFUL BIKE PARKING AREA IN THERE.
CAMERAS, THE VERTICAL RACKS, HORIZONTAL.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
NEVER USED.
WE BUILT CAPACITY FOR 200 SPACES FOR BIKES AND ANY GIVEN DAY
SIX OR SEVEN BIKES IN THERE.
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING UNLESS IT IS REALLY, REALLY
CONVENIENTLY LOCATED, THEY WON'T USE IT.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FOCUS IS -- OUT
IN JUST A MATTER OF CHECKING A BOX AND PROVIDING BIKE
PARKING PROVIDING IT IN RIGHT LOCATIONS.
WE LOOK AT THIS BUILDING, PROVIDE ENOUGH BIKING FOR THE
STUDENTS THAT LIVE THERE.
IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE MORE CENTRAL BECAUSE KIDS LIKE TO PUT
THEIR BIKES AND LEAVE IT AND RIDING ON THE NEXT RIVERWALK
AND GOING DOWNTOWN AND DOING THAT FUN STUFF ON WEEKENDS.
07:53:27PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF
TAMPA, IT BRINGS IN A BUNCH OF RICH KIDS.
NOT ALL OF THEM WAS RICH.
I WASN'T RICH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF CHARLIE WAS.
A LOT OF NICE CARS.
IF THEY ARE A FRESHMAN AND HAVE A CAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO PARK IT?
07:53:49PM >> THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING IT.
GOES BACK TO OUR -- THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING A CAR
TO CAMPUS IF YOU ARE A FRESHMAN.
07:53:56PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THINKING AHEAD, WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS
CONCERNED, THEY WILL BRING THEIR CAR AND PARK IT IN THE

NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU WOULDN'T SEE IT.
07:54:05PM >> THEY ARE SUBJECT TO ENFORCEMENT AT THE PROPERTIES.
07:54:08PM >>BILL CARLSON:
CAN YOU KICK THEM OUT THE SCHOOL IF THEY
BRING A CAR AND THEY HIDE IT?
07:54:12PM >> IF THEY BRING A CAR TO CAMPUS AND DOESN'T HAVE OUR
PARKING PASSES ON IT, WHAT WE TRY TO DO FROM AN ENFORCEMENT
PERSPECTIVE, WE SCALE IT UP.
YOU GET A WARNING.
THEN BOOTED.
A BOOT IS YOU HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND CAMPUS SAFETY READS
YOU THE RIOT ACT, IF YOU WILL.
07:54:29PM >>BILL CARLSON:
POSSIBLE THAT 200 FRESHMEN CAN HIDE THEIR
CARS BY PARKING IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
07:54:35PM >> I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T THINK SO, NO.
07:54:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HEARING NO OTHER QUESTIONS.
YOU ARE DONE WITH THE PRESENTATION.
ONE LAST QUESTION, TYPE 1 TREES THAT YOU HAVE THAT
YOU SAID YOU ARE ADDING THOSE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING?
07:54:52PM >> WE HAVE A REVISED REVISION SHEET TO THE POINT THAT WAS
MADE EARLIER OF THE BIKE PARKING.
I DON'T LIKE TO BE THE BOY THAT CRIED WOLF.
WE ARE IN A RUSH.
IF STUDENT HOUSING IS CONSTRUCTED A DAY LATE, THAT IS A
YEAR LATE.
SO WE FILED WHAT WE NEED WE CAN DO.
TYPE ONE AND TYPE TWOs.
DUG DEEPER.
I HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE AND AM AWARE OF PREFERENCE OF TYPE ONE
TREE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND THE CHANGE THAT
THE SITE DATA TABLE SETBACKS CONFORM WHAT WE ARE SHOWING IN
THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SO NUMBERS, WORDS AND PICTURES ALL TIE
TOGETHER TO GET THAT PERMIT WE NEED SO BADLY.
07:55:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TRUST BUT VERIFY.
07:55:35PM >> VERIFY.
07:55:38PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
IF I MAY, I KNOW THIS UNIVERSITY PAID
$75,000 TO REMOVE A GRAND TREE 25 YEARS AGO.
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THE TREE.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, FOR BRINGING IT UP.
07:55:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY IN PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
07:55:57PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, SIMONE SAVINO BROWN WITH BARBERS
KRAMER, 203 TAMPA -- NUMBER 203, TAMPA 33602.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF SCG TAMPA HEIGHTS, THE ONLY ADJACENT
PROPERTY OWNER.
THEY OWN BOTH THE VACANT LOT THAT IS ZONED PD AS WELL THE
MULTIFAMILY BUILDING DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH OF THIS PROJECT.
WE ARE HERE BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT
WITH U.T.
WE WANT COUNCIL TO BE AWARE OF SOME ISSUES WITHER TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT IN THIS PROCESS.
FOR EXAMPLE, U.T. WANTS TO REMOVE ONE OF OUR TREES, WHICH IS
A 27-INCH SOUTHERN LIVE OAK.
IT HAPPENS TO BE PROTECTED, AND OUR RESIDENTS LOVE IT.
I HAVE A PHOTO HERE FOR YOU.
AND THE BACK CORNER.
07:56:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IT WILL COME UP.
07:57:02PM >> OH, SORRY.
WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THAT IS POSSIBLE.
WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT IS
ACCEPTABLE FOR BOTH PARTIES FOR THE ENTIRE BLOCK, JUST GIVEN
THE AMOUNT OF PARCELS THAT SCG OWNS.
UNFORTUNATELY, DISCUSSIONS ARE FEELING A LITTLE BIT RUSHED,
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HEARING WAS MOVED UP FROM AN
ORIGINAL APRIL 9 DATE.
SO WE ARE WORKING AS FAST AS WE CAN.
THERE HAVE BEEN A PROPOSE AID AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES,
AND WE ARE IN ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS.
BUT WE HAVE CONCERNS, AND WE JUST HOPE WE CAN WORK THROUGH
THOSE.
SO I WANTED TO COME HERE AND GIVE COUNCIL SOME BACKGROUND.
THANK YOU.
07:57:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE IN PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
WOULD APPLICANT LIKE A REBUTTAL?
07:57:59PM >> TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
THIS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT, A GOOD PROJECT.
IT MERITS YOUR SUPPORT AND HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE IT.
AS FOR NEIGHBORS, LAWYERS ARE JUST LAWYERING ABOUT LAWYER
STUFF.
WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.
THANKS.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
07:58:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
LAWYERS ARE LAWYERING.
07:58:17PM >> LAWYERS ARE LAWYERING ABOUT LAWYER STUFF.
07:58:22PM >>LUIS VIERA:
MOTION TO CLOSE.
07:58:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
07:58:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A STAFF PERSON APPROACHING THE
PODIUM.
07:58:28PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
THANK YOU FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS DEMANCHE,
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
BEFORE WE MOVE ANY FURTHER, I WANT TO KIND OF RUN THROUGH
THE ITEMS WE ARE LOOKING TO HAVE REVISED BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING AND SEE IF THE APPLICANT IS IN -- CONCURS
WITH THAT.
07:58:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PERFECT.
07:58:45PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
NUMBER ONE, ADD BIKE PARKING ALONG BOULEVARD.
THE PLANTING BUFFER EXTENDED TO PROVIDE TYPE ONE TREES ALONG
BOULEVARD.
WE ARE LOOKING TO CORRECT THE SETBACK ALONG BOULEVARD TO BE
A TWO-FOOT SETBACK AS A BUILDING SETBACK ALONG BOULEVARD.
AND AMENDS THE PARKING WAIVER SO WE ARE REMOVING -- REMOVING
ONE SPACE.
THEY WILL BE PROVIDING 40 SURFACE PARKING SPACE ON SITE.
AND THEN THEY ARE LOOKING TO PROVIDE A REVISED LANDSCAPE
PLAN.
07:59:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE SETBACKS WERE VARIABLE DEPENDING ON
WHERE IN THE BOULEVARD.
07:59:25PM >> WE ARE OKAY WITH THE TWO INSTEAD OF THE ZERO.
IT MIGHT VARY MORE.
DOING THAT WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE.
GOING BACK TO THE STREET THAT GETS US --
07:59:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
JUST RESTRICTING THE EXPANDED BIKE
PARKING?
07:59:41PM >>CHRIS DEMANCHE:
IF COUNCIL IS OKAY WITH THAT, I THINK WE 07:59:44PM WOULD LIKE TO DEPICT BIKE PARKING WHERE POSSIBLE ON THE STREETS
THAT ENCIRCLE -- IT IS NOT GOING TO BE EVERYWHERE, BUT DEPICT
EXTERIOR BIKE PARKING THAT WE CAN DEPICT WHERE WE CAN DO IT.
I KNOW WE CAN DO SOME ON BOULEVARD.
I DON'T WANT TO BE OVERLY PRESCRIPTIVE.
THIS GOES TO PD AND PERMITTING.
08:00:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TICKLED MY ATTENTION.
08:00:13PM >> DEPICT SURFACE BIKE PARKING WILL DO IT, AND WE CAN DEPICT
WHAT WE CAN DEPICT.
08:00:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
08:00:21PM >> WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT AS AN AGENT.
ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL
MEMBER VIERA.
SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT.
WHERE DID WE LEAVE IT.
ARE YOU UP TO READ THIS?
I CAN'T REMEMBER -- COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

00.
08:01:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HOPING BY 7:30.
SO THAT -- THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS FOR THE REGULAR
BUSINESS -- THANK YOU, SCOTT.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.
THAT CONCLUDES OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED BUSINESS.
NEW BUSINESS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
08:01:50PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I JUST WANT -- I JUST WANT TO BRING UP
BECAUSE WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS OUTSIDE OF THIS MEETING,
BUT I LISTENED TO THE -- I LISTEN TO THE CHARTER REVIEW
COMMISSION MEETING THE OTHER DAY.
DID ANY OF YOU ALL LISTEN TO IT?
08:02:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DID.
08:02:06PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU MAY HAVE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT IT.
BUT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TALK TO THE FACILITATOR.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE WAY IT WORKS IS THE CHAIR CALLS THE
MEETING TO ORDER, AND THE FACILITATOR TAKES OVER.
IN THE MEETING, ONE PERSON SPENT HALF THE TIME TALKING.
AND THERE SHOULD -- AND IN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, ROBERTS
RULES, YOU CREATE A PROCESS WHERE EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO
TALK, AND YOU CUT PEOPLE OFF WITH A TIMER AFTER CERTAIN
AMOUNTS.
I DON'T WANT TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO DO WHAT THEY WANT, BUT I IMAGINE THAT FOLKS
WHO WANT TO SPEAK FEEL LIKE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BECAUSE --
BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONTROL OVER LETTING PEOPLE TALK.
AND SO ONE WOULD BE -- IDEALLY, THE CHAIR WOULD RUN IT AND
THE FACILITATOR WOULD GIVE ADVICE.
AND LET THEM RUN IT THEMSELVES WITH THE -- WITH THE
FACILITATOR GIVING INPUT.
BUT IF THE FACILITATOR IS GOING TO RUN IT, I THINK THERE
SHOULD BE A RULE -- AGAIN, NOT FOR US TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE BUT
FOR THEM TO CREATE THEIR OWN RULE TWO OR THREE MINUTES LIKE
WE DO AND TWO BITES AT THE APPLE.
OTHER THING IS, I THINK WE ASKED THEM NOT TO GO LINE BY
LINE.
AND THEY ARE GOING VERY SLOWLY LINE BY LINE AND SKIPPING
THROUGH THE QUESTIONS.
SO THE WAY THEY DID IT.
THEY SAY, WELL, CITY COUNCIL SAYS THAT THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHETHER THE CITY ATTORNEY SHOULD FOLLOW BAR RULES OR KNOW IF
THE CITY ATTORNEY SHOULD -- IF THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD HAVE
MORE CONTROL OF THE CITY ATTORNEY AND TURN AROUND AND SAY
WHAT IT MEANS.
I DON'T KNOW EITHER WHAT IT MEANS.
SKIP TO THE NEXT THING.
FACILITATOR INSTEAD OF PROVIDING INFORMATION TO THEM, IS
PUSHING THEM TO NEXT ITEM, AND I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THAT.
WE -- WE SAT IN AN HOUR AND A HALF TO TWO-HOUR MEETING TO
DISCUSS EACH OF THESE AND PUT IT ON.
HALF OF OUR APPOINTEES HAVE LISTENED TO THAT VIDEO ABOUT
INSTRUCTIONS AND INSIGHTS INTO WHAT CITY COUNCIL THINKS.
IF THEY VOTE AS A GROUP, IF A CONSENSUS THAT THEY DON'T
AGREE WITH OUR QUESTION, THAT IS FINE.
BUT FOR THE FACILITATOR TO PUSH THEM THROUGH FOR TIME SAKE
AND GOING BACK LINE TO LINE, I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THAT.
AND IN ALL THIS DISCUSSION, WHAT DOES COUNCIL MEAN?
THE -- OTHER THING IS, THEY -- THEY REQUESTED.
AT LEAST THEY TALKED OF HAVING THE CHAIR COME ANSWER
QUESTIONS.
I THINK THEY CAN WATCH THE VIDEO.
THE CHAIR WANTS TO SPEAK, THAT IS FINE, BUT THEY SHOULD
WATCH THE VIDEO OF ALL OF OUR DISCUSSION ON THESE ITEMS.
AND WE SHOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO THAT.
OTHER THING IS THAT -- THE NEW CITY ATTORNEY SPOKE.
AND HE ASKED -- ANSWERED QUESTIONS AND TALKED TO THEM.
HE IS REPRESENTING THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN
A TIME OF CALM, NOT WHAT WE WENT THROUGH SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT
YEARS AGO.
AND THERE IS -- IF YOU ARE JUST GOING BASE ON OUR EXPERIENCE
WITH SCOTT STEADY SO FAR, YOU WOULD NOT PUT ANY ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTIONS.
IF GO BACK TO TIME WHEN -- WHEN THE -- -- MORE THAN ONE CITY
ATTORNEY WAS ADVERSE TO CITY COUNCIL, THERE DEFINITELY
SHOULD BE MORE RESTRICTIONS.
I THINK THE MOST EGREGIOUS OF THEM WHEN WE DISCOVERED ON OUR
OWN THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WROTE A TWO-PARAGRAPH
MEMO THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE CITY COUNCIL'S AGREEMENT
ON SETTLEMENTS AGREEMENT AND APPROVED HUNDREDS OF THEM
WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL.
WITH THE CHARTER, AN ORDINANCE ON BOOK.
CITY ATTORNEY FROM 2018 SAID MY MEMO SUPERCEDES ALL
ORDINANCES.
ILLEGAL AND DOESN'T FOLLOW THE CHARTER AND PROCEEDED WITH
THAT SIMPLE YEARS UNTIL WE DISCOVERED THAT BY ACCIDENT.
MULTIPLE CASES THAT WE NEED TO GO THROUGH AND FIX.
ANYWAY, I WILL TALK TO MY APPOINTEE MORE, BUT I THINK
SOMEHOW WE NEED TO RECOMMEND TO THEM THAT -- THAT THE --
THAT WE GIVE MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT OUR
QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
08:06:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
I CONCUR WITH MOST YOUR OBSERVATIONS.
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
08:06:18PM >>LUIS VIERA:
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
08:06:21PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE LOOK THE SAME.
08:06:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM GOING DOWN NEW BUSINESS.
08:06:27PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, SIR.
I GOT A REQUEST -- THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION -- I AM GOING TO
SENDS A MEMO OUT ON IT.
THEY ARE HAVING AN ALLIANCE FOR GLOBAL SECURITY FUNDED BY
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY FOR SECURITY RELATED CONFERENCE TAKING
PLACE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA IN EARLY APRIL OF
2026 DEALING WITH POTENTIAL HOMELAND SECURITY THREATS TO THE
CITY OF TAMPA.
TO BE CLEAR, THESE ARE THREATS BECAUSE -- IN TODAY'S
POLITICAL CULTURE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I SPECIFY WHAT THAT
MEANS.
FROM FOREIGN STATES.
I AM NOT TALKING OF IMMIGRATION ISSUES, I.C.E.
08:07:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OR ATTORNEY GENERALS.
08:07:06PM >>LUIS VIERA:
RIGHT, DON'T GET ME STARTED.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY, THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS, TO FUND THIS USF FORUM IN EARLY APRIL WITH
$25,000.
I AM NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, BY THE WAY.
AS WELL AS TO DO A RESOLUTION.
I AM MOTIONING TO BRING BACK TO CITY COUNCIL A RESOLUTION
WHICH WILL IDENTITY AND MIRROR WHAT HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
COMMISSION DID FOR SUPPORT OF THE ALLIANCE FOR GLOBAL
SECURITIES FORUM THAT WILL BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
SOUTH FLORIDA IN APRIL 2026 ON HOMELAND, AS IT PERTAINS TO
CYBER AND OTHER DOMESTIC THREATS.
MOTION BY THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY COMMISSION.
I ASK IT TO COME BACK MARCH 26, 2026.
THAT IS MY MOTION.
08:07:58PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
08:07:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION.
08:08:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
MANISCALCO.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
08:08:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT EXACTLY THIS IS.
08:08:08PM >>LUIS VIERA:
IT IS A FORUM DEALING WITH POTENTIAL HOMELAND
SECURITY THREATS HERE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY.
08:08:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
LIKE WHAT?
08:08:17PM >>LUIS VIERA:
COULD BE CYBERSECURITY, TERRORIST ACTIONS, ANY
-- I THINK IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
08:08:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I GUESS -- I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS A RESOLUTION TO JUST SAY --
08:08:33PM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, MA'AM, THAT WE SUPPORT -- THAT WE SUPPORT
THE EFFORTS THAT ARE BEING DONE AT THIS FORUM IN ORDER TO
DISCUSS -- SO HOW ABOUT THIS, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
I AM -- THE RESOLUTION -- THIS IS MERELY TO PUT IT ON THE
BACH KEPT.
NOT TO SUPPORT THE RESOLUTION.
SO, AGAIN, MERELY TO PUT A PLACEHOLDER ON MARCH 26.
SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE RESOLUTION.
WE WILL PASS IT OUT TO YOU.
BUT, AGAIN, IT JUST DEALS WITH POTENTIAL TERROR, CYBER AND
OTHER SECURITY THREATS TO TAMPA.
08:09:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF YOU CAN PASS OUT THE COUNTY'S ONE, I WOULD
JUST BE INTERESTED.
08:09:07PM >>LUIS VIERA:
ABSOLUTELY.
08:09:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.
08:09:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MARCH 26 IS A REALLY FULL AGENDA, BY THE
WAY.
08:09:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY, MARTIN SHELBY, NOT TO INVOLVE
MYSELF, BUT JUST FOR THE NEWS -- JUST FOR PURPOSES OF WHAT
IS BEING DISCUSSED.
THAT WILL BE PRESENTED BEFOREHAND, AND YOUR OFFICE CAN
FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHAT THE COUNTY DID.
THING WOULD JUST BE SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TIME.
08:09:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS WILL BE IDEALLY PUT ON THE CONSENT
AGENDA.
08:09:41PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
COULD VERY WELL BE.
08:09:44PM >>LUIS VIERA:
TELL YOU WHAT, AS A STIPULATION, IF ANY
COUNCIL MEMBER -- AGAIN, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN
HERE.
IF ANY COUNCIL MEMBER HAS A CHALLENGE AND PUT IT ON MARCH
26.
IF MORE THAN TWO MINUTES OF TIME TAKEN, WE CAN BUMP IT TO
APRIL 2.
08:10:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PLAN IT ON THE TAMPA.
AND PLAN ON A BREEZEWAY AND BE DONE.

IN TAMPA.
SUMMIT HAD GREAT SPEAKERS INCLUDING MY YOUNGER BROTHER, OWEN
YOUNG, WHO INTRODUCED THE MAIN SPEAKER, WHO WAS ACTOR BLAIR
UNDERWOOD, WHO GAVE A WONDERFUL KEYNOTE SPEECH.
THAT SUMMIT PROVIDES AN AVENUE FOR STUDENTS IN HIGHER
EDUCATION TO NETWORK WITH ACCOMPLISHED PROFESSIONALS.
IT WAS VERY NICE AND HONORED MY PREDECESSOR COUNCILWOMAN
GWEN HENDERSON.
IT WAS VERY NICE.
SNEAKER BALL.
THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE SKILLS CENTER.
AND THE PRESIDENT SAY THAT THE FAMILY FUND MADE A COMMITMENT
WITH THE SKILLS CENTER WITH A $100,000 IN THE MEMORIAL OF
THE LATE MR. STANLEY GRAY.
AND WE HAD A STUDENT AT OUR TABLE WHO WAS RECOGNIZED AS WELL
AND THAT WAS VERY NICE.
WENT TO THE SPRING MARKET HELD IN YBOR CITY OF THE 1920
VENUE.
QUARTERLY MARKET THAT HAS LOCAL MINORITY BUSINESSES.
THEY HAD YOGA ON THE ROOFTOP.
ARTISTS AND EVEN THIS TIME AROUND, THEY HAD HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS THAT WERE VOLUNTEERING WITH THE MARKET.
VERY WELL ATTENDED AND THEY HAD A KARAOKE, A LOCAL ARTIST
THAT -- THAT DID SOME OF THEIR OWN MUSIC.
AND SPENT TIME WITH HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
AS YOU KNOW, I'M A HOWARD UNIVERSITY ALUMNI, ALSO MY PARENTS.
AND SPENT TIME WITH THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY BISON SWIM TEAM

AN ISSUE WITH HER ALLEY AND PARKING.
SHE ACTUALLY CALLED OUR OFFICE THE OTHER DAY AND SHE WAS LIKE,

08:16:07PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
QUICK ONE, A MOTION REMOVE THE FOLLOWING
MOTION FROM THE APRIL 2 COUNCIL MEETING.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ON MARCH 5, 2026 AND
HEARD TODAY ON THE CRA AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER 5 FOR THAT $10
MILLION RESOLUTION.
SO SINCE WE MOVED IT.
MOVE IT.
08:16:26PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I CAN, I AM SORRY, IS THAT A MOTION?
08:16:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DOESN'T HAVE TO GO TO REGULAR COUNCIL TO BE
APPROVED?
08:16:34PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I'M CONFUSED.
08:16:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE DISCUSSED ITEM 65, BECAUSE IT HAD --
IT WAS -- IT WAS A CRA CONNECTION.
08:16:44PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
YOU MAKE A MOTION TODAY; IS THAT CORRECT?
08:16:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES.
08:16:50PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ASKING WHAT TO BE REMOVED FROM WHEN.
08:16:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
TOOK IT OFF THE REGULAR AGENDA AND PUT
IT ON THE CRA.
REMOVING IT FROM THE PAST AGENDA.
08:16:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I SEE YOU, LYNN, HOLD ON.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
08:17:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, WE APPROVED IT AT THE CRA, BUT WE HAVE
TO PUT OUR COUNCIL HATS ON AND APPROVE BUDGET STUFF AS
COUNCIL.
08:17:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I DON'T KNOW, THIS WAS A REQUEST THAT
CAME FROM THE CLERK.
08:17:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
08:17:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
REMIND ME --
08:17:19PM >>CLERK:
SULING SAID SHE CAN SPEAK TO IT.
08:17:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THIS CAME FROM CHARLENE.
08:17:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SULING?
08:17:50PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHILE WE ARE WAITING, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY
COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
I DON'T RECALL WHAT THAT ITEM 65 WAS.
08:17:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
$10 MILLION FOR -- TO HELP WITH
PREDEVELOPMENT COSTS.
08:18:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL CRA MONEY.
08:18:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, BUT IT WAS STILL -- EVEN WITH CRA MONEY,
WE HAVE TO APPROVE IT AS COUNCIL MEMBERS.
08:18:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY AND CORRECT ME,
PLEASE, IF I AM WRONG, THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT HISTORICALLY,
ITEM APPROVED BY CRA AS AN AGENCY BEFORE IT COMES TO CITY
COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND SOMETHING THAT HAD NOT BEEN BROUGHT
TO THE CRA PREVIOUSLY?
IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING?
OR NOT THE CASE?
BASICALLY, WHAT HAPPENS ONCE IT IS TAKEN UP BY THE CRA, IT IS
SET FOR CITY COUNCIL AS A RESULT.
08:18:47PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
08:18:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE CRA APPROVES EXPENDITURE.
WHY IT IS COMING TO THE COUNCIL?
08:18:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
A BUDGETARY CHANGE.
08:19:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE DO IT ALL THE TIME IN CONSENT.
08:19:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I DON'T KNOW IF IN COUNCIL OR CRA'S BYLAWS.
I DO RECALL A MOTION BY CITY COUNCIL, EITHER AS CRA OR CITY
COUNCIL THAT -- THAT DATES BACK TO, I BELIEVE, WHEN COUNCIL
MEMBER REDDICK WAS ON CHAIR, ON COUNCIL.
THAT PROTOCOL IS EXPENDITURES SHALL BE REVIEWS AS A CRA
BEFORE THEY ARE BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR A BUDGET
AMENDMENT.
08:19:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WANT TO HOLD ON THIS.
IF WE DON'T HAVE SULING UNTIL MARCH 26.
08:19:40PM >>CLERK:
TELL THEM THAT THE MOTION WAS TO RESCHEDULE FROM
APRIL 2 TO CRA THIS MORNING.
SHE SAID THEY STATED TO BE SCHEDULED.
08:19:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DONE THEN.
08:19:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THIS IS -- THIS IS ASKED TO REMOVE IT
FROM APRIL 2 COUNCIL MEETING BECAUSE THE MOTION WAS MADE
THAT THIS AGENDA ITEM ORIGINALLY BE CONTINUED ON MARCH 5
TO APRIL 2 ALREADY 2026 UNDER STAFF REPORTS AND UNFINISHED
BUSINESS.
08:20:13PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING --
AGAIN, MARTIN SHELBY.
IF I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, YES, YOU MADE MOTION TO
HAVE IT APPEAR ON THE CRA, BUT STILL SCHEDULED TO APPEAR ON
CITY COUNCIL AND NOW YOU ARE ASKING -- CLERK IS ASKING IT TO
BE REMOVED FROM THE APRIL 2.
08:20:27PM >>CLERK:
SHE SAID IT IS ON APRIL 2.
08:20:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
BUT IT WON'T BE HEARD BY CRA BEFORE THEN,
WILL IT?
08:20:37PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE HEARD IT TODAY.
08:20:38PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
OH, YOU HEARD IT TODAY.
08:20:40PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
LET ME HOLD ON TO THIS MOTION BECAUSE WE
HAVE MARCH 26, AND IF WE CAN TAKE SOMETHING OUT.
CAN WE TAKE SOMETHING OUT FOR APRIL 2.
I WILL HOLD OFF ON THIS FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION.
MY LAST MOTION IS REQUEST -- REQUEST THAT PLANNING
COMMISSION COME TO PROVIDE A 15-MINUTE PRESENTATION ON THE
NEWLY ADOPTED SINGLE-MEMBER DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AT COUNCIL'S
REGULAR MEETING MAY 21, 2026 UNDER PRESENTATIONS.
WE CHECKED THE CALENDAR.
08:21:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA ADDING 5,000 PEOPLE TO
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG'S DISTRICT.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT.
08:21:27PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT'S IT.
THANKS.
08:21:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
08:21:32PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, SIR.
08:21:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NEW BUSINESS?
08:21:37PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I HAVE 15 OF THEM.
START WITH NUMBER ONE, THE ELECTRIC BIKES THAT WE HAVE THAT
ARE BY CONTRACT.
THERE IS A CLAUSE, IF I REMEMBER YEARS BACK, THAT THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO PICK THEM UP EVERY NIGHT AND SEND IT TO WHEREVER
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PUT IT AT.
AND I HAD DISCUSSION WITH THE CITY OF THAT ITEM AND NOT THE
CITY'S FAULT.
THEY ARE LAGGING BEHIND.
THESE THINGS GETTING PICKED UP FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
EVERY DAY ON CERTAIN CORNERS -- I CAN NAME THEM TO YOU -- I
WILL NAME YOU ONE OR TWO, ARMENIA AND MAIN STREET, RIGHT
THERE SITTING IN SIDEWALK.
THEY DO NOT PICK THEM UP AND MOVE THEM AROUND.
AND ONE THAT I HAD THERE FOR MANY WEEKS, AND I CALLED THE
CITY, AND THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.
NOT THEIR FAULT.
CORNER OF 600 BLOCK OF LOUISIANA AND MacDILL AVENUE.
I WASN'T GOING TO BRING IT UP, BUT THAT ONE WAS PICKED UP
AFTER SIX WEEKS OF BEING THERE, ONE YOU HAVE THOSE BIKES.
THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT MADE WAY BACK IF THEY PICK THEM UP,
THEY WOULD GET FINED.
IF THEY CONTINUED DOING THAT, THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH CITY
AND LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND THE CONTRACT THE WAY IT WAS
WRITTEN.
IF IT CONTINUES -- I DON'T WANT ANY ACTION NOW, IF IT
CONTINUES, I WILL PUT THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS THAT WE WILL
FILE WHATEVER NECESSARY -- TO GET THEM OUT OF THE CONTRACT
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PICKING UP THOSE BIKES.
08:23:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AGREE.
08:23:01PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
A DANGER TO SOCIETY AND EVERYBODY.
08:23:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYTHING ELSE.
08:23:06PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT'S IT, SIR.
08:23:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT WASN'T 15.
08:23:13PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I OWE 14.
IF I APPOINT SOMEBODY, IF THEY DON'T CALL ME, DON'T GO TO
ANY MEET.
THE CHAIRMAN, IF HE HAD A PROBLEM, HE SHOULD COME TO US AND
TELL US.
ONLY THING ABOUT IT.
I AM NOT AGAINST WHAT HE IS SAYING, BUT I APPOINT SOMEBODY,
THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN, BABY.
08:23:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT'S RIGHT.
08:23:33PM >>BILL CARLSON:
MY COMMENTS WAS ABOUT THE FACILITATOR.
08:23:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WILL START WITH THE EASY THINGS FIRST.
ACTUALLY, I NEED -- COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, CAN YOU BE CHAIR?
08:23:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, SORRY.
08:23:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECOGNIZE YEARS OF
DEDICATED SERVICE ON A DATE TO BE DETERMINED.
08:24:01PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
SECOND.
08:24:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
08:24:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, SHE IS LEAVING US.
SHE IS GOING TO RETIRE.
SHE IS GOING TO RETIRE.
WELL-DESERVED RETIREMENT.
AGAIN, SECOND RETIREMENT.
SO TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WERE JUST SAID,
I WILL HAVE THAT DISCUSSION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FAIR AND
BALANCED, TO BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BRING -- FAIR AND BALANCED DISCUSSION
IS IMPORTANT.
ON LINE BY LINE, I CONCUR.
I WILL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM AS WELL.
TWO THINGS FOR CONSENSUS.
THEY INVITED ME TO COME.
I WILL ACCEPT THAT INVITATION.
IN LIGHT OF THAT, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT -- MAYBE I AM OUT
THERE IN LEFT FIELD, BUT I THINK FOR THEM AS A DISCOVERY
BODY, AS -- YOU ANOTHER, THEY ARE NOT ALL EXPERTS ON CITY
COUNCIL -- CITY BUSINESS, COUNCIL BUSINESS AND HOW ALL THESE
THINGS WORK.
SO I THINK THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND
I THINK THE SEVEN OF US ARE -- WELL, SOME OF US ARE MORE
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS THAN OTHERS.
I AM LOOKING AT YOU, CHARLIE.
BUT I THINK -- I THINK HAVING US AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO -- IF
THEY WANTED TO SPEAK TO ANY ONE OF US ABOUT THEIR
EXPERIENCES, THEY CAN ASK US.
WHY DO YOU FEEL THIS IS IMPORTANT?
WHAT ARE YOUR OBSERVATIONS?
I THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO ASK US TO COME DOWN.
NOT COMPEL US TO COME DOWN.
BUT IF THEY WANT TO CALL COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON AND SAY WHAT
DO YOU OBSERVE OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITY ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE AND CITY COUNCIL AND WHAT SOLUTIONS ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR, I THINK THAT IS AN AROUND DISCUSSION TO HAVE.
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.
CAN I SHARE THAT COUNCIL IS OKAY WITH THEM ASKING PEOPLE TO
COME DOWN AND HAVE THOSE KIND OF CONVERSATIONS?
08:25:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT IS THE FACILITATOR'S JOB.
NOT MINE TO HAVE A POINT OF DISCUSSION.
08:26:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOME FEEL IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO
ASK US TO COME DOWN.
08:26:13PM >>BILL CARLSON:
TO CHARLIE'S POINT, I AM NOT VOLUNTARILY
GOING DOWN THERE.
I AGREE, IF THEY SEEK QUESTIONS.
MY CONCERNS ARE ABOUT THE FACILITATOR.
08:26:23PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
ONE OTHER THING.
TOMORROW MORNING, I GOT TO GET UP EARLY.
GOT TO SPEAK.
08:26:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
08:26:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MY CONCERN WITH THAT ONLY IS IF THEY INVITE
EACH ONE OF US TO TALK ABOUT THE SAME THING, THEY ARE JUST
GOING TO DRAW OUT THE SAME TOPIC.
AND THEY ARE NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
SO --
08:26:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT IS THE FACILITATOR'S JOB TO KEEP
THAT FROM HAPPENING.
08:26:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGREED BUT --
ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T THINK INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO ASK.
HAD.
08:26:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THEY CAN ASK.
08:27:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY NEED EXPERT TESTIMONY
FROM ANYBODY, THEY CAN ASK THAT QUESTION.
I AGREE ABOUT THE LINE-BY-LINE THING.
08:27:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ASK FOR A SPECIFIC TOPIC.
NOT JUST, HEY, COME AND TELL US ABOUT EVERYTHING.
08:27:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
DID WE HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT LINE BY LINE?
WAS THAT PART OF OUR DISCUSSION?
08:27:19PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I DON'T THINK SO.
08:27:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
08:27:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I MEAN, PRIOR -- AS FAR AS DIRECTION.
08:27:27PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I DON'T KNOW IF WE VOTED ON IT OR NOT, BUT
WE DID SAY WE DIDN'T THINK THEY SHOULD GO LINE BY LINE
BECAUSE WHAT LYNN AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH LAST TIME, AND
THERE WERE THINGS THAT HAD TO HAPPEN LAST TIME.
BUT A WAY OF WASTING A LOT OF TIME.
08:27:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THEY CAN GO LINE BY LINE INDIVIDUALLY AND
HIGHLY AS A WHOLE.
08:27:47PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THEY CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GO LINE BY
LINE.
08:27:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOMETHING THIS COUNCIL WANTS TO BRING UP
TO THEM.
08:27:55PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
LINE BY LINE?
08:27:57PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SKIP QUESTIONS AND GOING LINE BY LINE.
08:28:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY OBJECTION OF ME BRINGING THAT ISSUE
UP?
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE OUR CONVERSATION BEFORE.
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF EVERYBODY.
08:28:09PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. CHAIRMAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
WHEN YOU SAY "BRING IT UP" WITH THE FACILITATOR OR THE
BOARD.
08:28:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WITH THE BOARD.
08:28:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THEY ASKED ME TO COME DOWN THERE.
I WILL BE STANDING THERE FACE TO FACE WITH EVERYBODY.
08:28:24PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
08:28:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE ONE OTHER -- I WILL READ THIS TO YOU.
ANOTHER PROPOSAL AS FAR AS SUBMITTING SOMETHING TO THEM
AS A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM.
EXECUTIVE ORDER IN CONFLICT WITH ORDINANCES AND NULL AND
VOID.
THOUGHTS?
08:28:42PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WHAT NOW?
08:28:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IN CONFLICT WITH LAW
AND ORDINANCE SHALL BE AND VOIDED.
08:28:51PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WELL, THAT IS KIND OF COMMON SENSE.
08:28:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE SAYING -- I
SUSPECT -- LET ME JUST BE CLEAR.
YOU ARE SUGGESTING OR RECITING THAT YOU THINK OUGHT TO BE IN
THE CHARTER AND AN INSERTION IN THE CHARTER, A CHANGE
WITHIN THE CHARTER.
08:29:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM TRYING TO SEE THE --
08:29:19PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
08:29:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU CAN TRY IT.
AGAIN, I THINK THAT IS SELF-EVIDENT, BUT I SUPPOSE YOU ARE
CORRECT, THAT MAYBE IT NEEDS TO BE THERE.
08:29:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF I CAN.
08:29:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. SHELBY.
08:29:34PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THERE IS NO -- IN TERMS OF LEGISLATIVE
FUNCTION, YOUR LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION IS MAKING A LAW PASSING
ORDINANCES.
IN TERMS OF BALANCE OF POWER, THE QUESTION IS -- AND WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE PAST CAN A -- WHAT HAS SUPREMACY?
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER OR LAW AND ORDINANCE?
THAT IS NOT DELINEATED IN THE CHARTER.
IF THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT CITY COUNCIL WANTS TO
DO AND WHAT THE EXECUTIVE WANTS TO DO, CAN THE EXECUTIVE
PREEMPT CITY COUNCIL BY WRITING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER?
08:30:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NOT IN THE CHARTER.
PROBLEM I SEE, IT IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED.
08:30:29PM >>LUIS VIERA:
MAY I SPEAK BRIEFLY, IF I MAY.
EXECUTIVE ORDER ON BEHALF OF THE MAYOR WILL BE NULL AND
VOIDED PRESUMPTIVELY, CORRECT?
08:30:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CORRECT.
08:30:41PM >>LUIS VIERA:
ISSUE IS, YES, IT WOULD, BUT WHO WOULD
DETERMINE.
THAT IS THE ISSUE, HIS OR HER WILL MAKE DETERMINATION ON IT.
OFTEN BLACK AND WHITE, AND THEN THERE IS GRAY.
PROBABLY GRAY AREAS.
AND IF YOU WANT TO STATE THAT AS A MATTER OF LAW TO BE PUT
IN THE CHARTER OR INCORPORATED, GREAT.
BUT THAT IS GOING TO BE IN THE DETAILS, WHICH YOU PROBABLY
CAN'T WORK OUT TONIGHT, BUT A VERY GOOD DETAIL TO BRING UP
WITH THEM.
08:31:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE QUESTION IS, CAN I BRING THIS UP TO THE
CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION?
08:31:11PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, GO FOR IT.
08:31:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SURE.
08:31:17PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IN CONSENSUS.
08:31:19PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO CONTROLS THE CITY
ATTORNEY.
AND -- YOU KNOW, IN THE EXAMPLE I GAVE, THERE IS -- THAT IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.
IF WE DON'T RESOLVE THAT, THE CITY CAN'T FUNCTION.
WE NEED TO RESOLVE IT.
08:31:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AGREE WITH THAT.
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA AND THEN MR. SHELBY.
08:31:38PM >>LUIS VIERA:
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
I MEAN, IF -- MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE A PROVISION IN THERE SAYING
THAT IF SUCH A CONFLICT ARISES THROUGH AN ALLEGATION MADE BY
A MAJORITY OF COUNCIL MEMBERS, A PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE
THROUGH INDEPENDENT -- THROUGH INDEPENDENT LEGAL ANALYSIS
MAYBE BY AN ATTORNEY OR LAW FIRM JOINTLY RETAINED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION AND CITY COUNCIL, PRANCE A METHOD BY WHICH
SOMEONE CAN GIVE A FORMER LEGAL OPINION WITH THE CONSENT OF
COUNCIL.
08:32:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MARK THAT SO WE CAN CAPTURE THE VIDEO TO
PLAY WHAT COUNCIL VIERA JUST SAID.
MR. SHELBY.
08:32:16PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I THINK IF YOU GO BACK TO WHAT COUNCIL
MEMBER -- LET ME REPHRASE IT.
SUBMIT BY COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON AN ADOPTED THE QUESTIONS TO
BE PRESENTED WERE ADOPT BY THIS ENTIRE BOARD TO BE
SUBMITTED.
A LOT OF THOSE QUESTIONS GO TO REMEDY THAT ARE ABSENT IN THE
CURRENT CHART, AND THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN CONFRONTING AND --
AND I THINK THOSE QUESTIONS ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
AND CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THEY MAY WANT TO RAISE.
08:32:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK THAT IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE GETTING
LOST IN TRANSITION BETWEEN OUR DISCUSSION AND MAYBE
DISCUSSION HAPPENING IN THE CRC.
THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS TO
ASK FOR PEOPLE TO COME DOWN BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF CONTEXT.
AND ESPECIALLY -- I DON'T PERSONALLY HAVE, BECAUSE I WASN'T
-- I WASN'T INVOLVED IN CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
SO THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO TALK TO FOLKS WHO
HAVE THAT CONTEXT OF THAT EXPERIENCE.
AND NOT NECESSARILY TO HIGHLIGHT INDIVIDUAL THINGS OR
SPECIFIC THINGS THAT HAPPENED, BUT WHAT -- WHAT THE
CONSTRUCT OF IT THAT CREATES THE CONFLICT.
08:33:29PM >>BILL CARLSON:
OTHER THING AND I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE.
AND SORRY, A MARRIAGE OR PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT
WITH A COMPANY.
EVERY ATTORNEY WILL SAY WE ARE NOT WORRIED OF YOU GUYS
GETTING ALONG, WE ARE WORRIED OF HOW YOU EXIT.
YOU HAVE TO ANTICIPATE HOW YOU WILL WITH CONFLICT.
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO CREATE CONFLICT BUT TRYING TO AVOID
CONFLICT BY ANTICIPATING IT.
IF SCOTT STEADY IS THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO, YOU HAVEN'T A
PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT OR CORPORATE AGREEMENT ON BEST-CASE
SCENARIO.
08:34:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SCOTT STEADY, IF YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO IT,
THOUGHT HE DID A GOOD JOB OF A GOOD BALANCED APPROACH
OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S POSITION AND EVEN THOUGH MARTIN
SHELBY, OUR COUNCIL ATTORNEY WASN'T THERE, HE DID A GOOD JOB
OF PRESENTING FOR BOTH SIDES KIND OF A FAIR AND BALANCED
AND QUITE HONESTLY THE QUESTIONS THAT SHOULDN'T BE ANSWERED
HE DIDN'T ANSWER.
08:34:32PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB TOO.
08:34:35PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YOU HAVE THE CONSENSUS.
08:34:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WITHOUT OBJECTION, ONE LAST THING.
YOU LEFT ME WITH THE THING OF REWRITING THE ORDINANCE.
AFTER MUCH LOST SLEEP AND DISCUSSION AND SOME DISCUSSION
WITH MR. SHELBY, I HAVE KIND OF DREW TO THE CONCLUSION AT
THIS POINT, IN ATTEMPTING TO DO THAT WOULD ALMOST -- I WOULD
CREATE A CHARTER CRISIS WITH REWRITING THE CHARTER REVIEW
COMMISSION.
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DERAIL THIS ANY FURTHER THAN IT WAS.
AND I THOUGHT LET'S RIDE THE HORSE WE ARE ON TO CONCLUSION,
AND MAYBE FIX THIS SOME TIME NEXT TIME AROUND THAT -- THAT
WE WILL JUST RIDE THE HORSE WE ARE ON.
BECAUSE IT CAN JUST DERAIL WHOLE PROCESS IF WE TRIED TO DO
SOMETHING RIGHTS NOW.
AND, AGAIN, A LOT OF LOSS SLEEP AND DELIBERATION.
MR. SHELBY.
08:35:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE
ORDINANCE THAT CREATED THE CHARTER REVIEW BOARD.
08:35:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICT THAT HAPPENED.
I SAID GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ANOTHER BITE OF THAT
APPLE AND REWRITE.
REALIZING THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF DOING THAT
COULD CAUSE HAVOC, AND I COULD HE IS NOT TO GO DOWN THAT.
08:35:56PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE HOPED THAT THE MAYOR WOULD NOT SUBMIT
MANDATES.
SHE SUBMITTED RECOMMENDATIONS.
SHOULD BE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THEM.
IF THEY DECIDE WE WILL OVERRULE THAT AND GO LINE BY LINE, IT
IS UP TO THEM.
08:36:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
08:36:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, I AM GOOD.
08:36:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOVE TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
08:36:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
WE ARE ADJOURNED.
HAPPY SPRING BREAK.
