6:07:03PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
6:07:04PM WE START THE EVENING OFF IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
6:07:06PM DISTRICT, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:07:08PM THERE IS TRANSIT WITHIN THAT AREA.
6:07:14PM THE METRO RAPID ROUTE ONE AND ROUTE SIX ALL SERVICE THE
6:07:18PM SITE.
6:07:18PM THE PROPERTY IS NOT WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE AND ROBLES
6:07:22PM PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY TO THE
6:07:25PM SUBJECT SITE.
6:07:26PM ON TO THE AERIAL, THE SUBJECT SITE IS RIGHT HERE.
6:07:32PM THIS IS EAST EMILY STREET.
6:07:34PM THIS IS ROBLES PARK TO THE SOUTH.
6:07:36PM OF COURSE, INTERSTATE 275 FURTHER TO THE EAST.
6:07:39PM WE'VE GOT THE ROBLES PARK VILLAGE APARTMENT COMPLEX KIND OF
6:07:45PM TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:07:49PM THE AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AWAY FROM
6:07:53PM THAT DEVELOPMENT.
6:07:55PM THERE IS SOME DUPLEX SCATTERED THROUGHOUT AND SOME OLDER
6:07:58PM MULTIFAMILY.
6:07:59PM THEN YOU GET THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ALONG NORTH FLORIDA
6:08:03PM AVENUE TO THE WEST.
6:08:05PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE
6:08:12PM BECAUSE IT'S COVERED UP BUT THE SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL
6:08:15PM 20, WHICH IS THE SAME COLOR AS OVER HERE TO THE EAST.
6:08:20PM JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST IS THE RESIDENTIAL 35 IN THAT
6:08:25PM DARKER BROWN.
6:08:27PM THE GREEN REPRESENTS THE RECREATION OPEN SPACE, AND THEN THE
6:08:33PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED IS PREDOMINANTLY IN THAT RESIDENTIAL
6:08:37PM 10 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
6:08:39PM THE RED REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 FUTURE LAND

6:08:44PM THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL THROUGH THIS REZONING
6:08:50PM PETITION TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF THAT CONGREGATE LIVING
6:08:53PM FACILITY.
6:08:53PM IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY'S PLAN TO PROVIDE HOUSING
6:08:57PM OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ELDERLY, DISABLED, AND OTHER SPECIAL
6:09:01PM CLASSES OF PERSONS AND OTHER GROUPS PROTECTED BY THE
6:09:04PM AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND SINGLE MULTIPLE
6:09:08PM CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITIES.
6:09:09PM THE PLAN ALSO ENCOURAGES THE EXPANSION AND SUPPLY OF HOUSING
6:09:12PM THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
6:09:13PM TAMPA'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
6:09:18PM INCENTIVES, INCENTIVIZES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONGREGATE
6:09:22PM LIVING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMPA.
6:09:25PM OVERALL, STAFF FOUND THE PROPOSED REZONING CONSISTENT WITH
6:09:32PM THE PROVISIONS OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THAT
6:09:35PM CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
6:09:45PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
6:09:46PM MARY SAMANIEGO, AGAIN, FOR THE RECORD.
6:09:47PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN GREEN.
6:09:51PM IT CREATES LIKE ITS OWN SMALL BLOCK IN EFFECT.
6:09:56PM HERE'S CENTRAL AVENUE, EMILY STREET, AVON, AND THEN SMALL
6:10:01PM JAMES STREET TO THE NORTH.
6:10:03PM AS I STATED, THIS IS GOING TO BE CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITY.
6:10:08PM THERE ARE TWO EXISTING STRUCTURES ON-SITE THAT WILL BE
6:10:12PM REHABILITATED TO FACILITATE THE USE AND THEN ONE OF THE
6:10:16PM STRUCTURES WILL BE ADDED ON TO.
6:10:18PM HERE IS ONE OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURES THAT WOULD BE
6:10:20PM REHABILITATED.
6:10:21PM HERE IS THE OTHER SECOND STRUCTURE THAT OBVIOUSLY WILL BE
6:10:24PM REHABILITATED, REMODELED, AND THEN ADDED ON TO.
6:10:28PM I'LL INDICATE THAT ON THE SITE PLAN.
6:10:30PM HERE'S THE PARK ACROSS THE STREET.
6:10:36PM A VIEW DOWN EMILY.
6:10:37PM HERE IS THE HOUSING ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, AND THEN
6:10:42PM AGAIN, THE PARK ACROSS THE STREET.
6:10:44PM ACROSS EMILY.
6:10:46PM THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 150-BED MAXIMUM CONGREGATE LIVING
6:10:53PM FACILITY, LARGE GROUP CARE.
6:10:56PM HERE IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

6:11:05PM THAT WILL BE USED FOR SOME OF THE BEDS AND SOME OF THE
6:11:10PM FACILITY.
6:11:10PM HERE IS THE OTHER MULTIPLE STORY BUILDING THAT YOU SAW THAT
6:11:14PM WILL BE ADDED ON TO.
6:11:16PM AND THE WHOLE THING WILL WORK KIND OF AS A CAMPUS.
6:11:20PM BOTH BUILDINGS, THE LARGER BUILDING AND THE EXISTING
6:11:22PM BUILDING, WILL FACILITATE THE MAXIMUM 150 BEDS THAT THEY
6:11:27PM WERE PROPOSING.
6:11:27PM THE ENTIRE SITE IS .8 ACRES.
6:11:30PM IT IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
6:11:31PM THE ONLY USE THEY ARE PROPOSING IS CONGREGATE LIVING
6:11:33PM FACILITY, LARGE GROUP CARE.
6:11:35PM THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED AS PART OF THIS
6:11:40PM APPLICATION.
6:11:41PM THERE ARE SOME CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT
6:11:44PM STAFF IS RECOMMENDING FOR SOLID WASTE AND LAND DEVELOPMENT
6:11:49PM COORDINATION.
6:11:51PM OVERALL, STAFF DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND
6:11:55PM DEVELOPMENT CODE WITH THOSE MODIFICATIONS.
6:11:58PM SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE STAFF REPORT CAME OUT, THE APPLICANT
6:12:02PM NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
6:12:04PM ASSOCIATION, AND THEY HAD COME TO SOME AGREEMENT TO CHANGES
6:12:08PM TO THE SITE PLAN.
6:12:09PM SO THE APPLICANT WILL MAKE HIS PRESENTATION AND THEN
6:12:13PM ANTICIPATE ASKING FOR A CONTINUANCE FOR A MONTH TO
6:12:17PM INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE ELEMENTS THAT THEY HAD AGREED ON
6:12:21PM WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION INTO A REVISED SITE PLAN,
6:12:24PM BUT WE WANTED TO OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY.
6:12:27PM DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME?
6:12:39PM >> JOSEPH BRICKLEMYER FOR THE DEVELOPER, AS THE APPLICANT.
6:12:44PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPER.
6:12:46PM AS MS. SAMANIEGO STATED, WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT TUESDAY
6:12:50PM WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:12:51PM I'M SURE THEY'LL GET UP AND SPEAK, HAVE A PRESENCE HERE, AS
6:12:56PM TO WHAT CHANGES THEY WERE REQUESTING OF THE SITE PLAN AND
6:12:59PM ACCOMMODATION TO THOSE REQUESTS, WE HAVE TO MAKE MAJOR
6:13:02PM CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN WHICH WILL GO BACK TO STAFF AND
6:13:04PM WE'LL SEE YOU BACK IN MARCH.
6:13:06PM I'M REALLY HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
6:13:08PM BEFORE OR AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT.
6:13:11PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ARE YOU REQUESTING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
6:13:16PM MAKE THEIR -- ONCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD MAKE THEIR COMMENTS, ARE
6:13:18PM YOU REQUESTING THAT THIS BE CONTINUED TO ANOTHER DATE?
6:13:21PM IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING?
6:13:23PM >> YES, STAFF IS REQUIRED BASED ON THE TYPE OF CHANGES WE'RE
6:13:26PM MAKING, THEY ARE GOING TO REQUIRE 30 DAYS TO REVIEW THE
6:13:29PM CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN SO WE WILL BE CONTINUED POST PUBLIC
6:13:34PM COMMENT TO NEXT MONTH.
6:13:35PM >>FRANK REDDICK: STAFF, DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTED DATE ON 30
6:13:39PM DAYS?

6:13:45PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, SIR.
6:13:46PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.
6:13:49PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF I COULD, BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC,
6:13:51PM WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORTH
6:13:54PM SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THEY TELL US IS IN AGREEMENT
6:13:59PM WITH WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US?
6:14:05PM >> SO THE TWO MAJOR CHANGES ARE THE SETBACKS AS CURRENTLY
6:14:10PM DISPLAYED, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RUN THOSE BACK THROUGH
6:14:13PM STAFF BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE IF THOSE ARE COMPLIANT WITH THE
6:14:17PM CODE.
6:14:18PM BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
6:14:20PM WE SAID WE'LL DO THAT SUBJECT TO STAFF REVIEW AND REDUCTION
6:14:23PM IN THE DENSITY ARE THE TWO PRIMARY CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN
6:14:25PM ITSELF.
6:14:26PM 87 BEDS WILL BE THE REDUCTION IN DENSITY FROM THE PRIOR
6:14:28PM REQUEST OF 150 WITH COMMENSURATE CHANGES TO THE PARKING
6:14:32PM PLAN.
6:14:32PM AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE THAT IS NOT A CHANGE TO THE SITE
6:14:36PM PLAN BUT AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ASSOCIATION AND THE
6:14:38PM DEVELOPER IS THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO COMPLY WITH AN
6:14:43PM APPEARANCE STANDPOINT WITH THE HAM HEIGHTS HISTORIC
6:14:45PM GUIDELINES THAT ARE PROMULGATED FOR THE HISTORIC PART OF THE
6:14:48PM DISTRICT.
6:14:49PM HE'S GOING TO MAKE THE FACADES, ELEVATIONS, THOSE TYPE OF
6:14:52PM THINGS COMPLY WITH THE HISTORIC STANDARDS.
6:14:55PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU, CHAIR.
6:14:56PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON
6:14:58PM ITEM NUMBER 1?
6:15:07PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
6:15:08PM OWEN YOUNG.
6:15:09PM 3407 JEFFERSON STREET, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
6:15:12PM AS A PROUD RESIDENT OF TAMPA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY FOR OVER 35
6:15:17PM YEARS, WE HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
6:15:19PM LOCATED AT 414, 418 EMILY STREET IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
6:15:23PM THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT OF MODIFICATION WHILE NOBLE FALL
6:15:27PM SHORTS OF THE EXPECTATION AS RESIDENTS OF THE NORTH SIDE OF
6:15:30PM TAMPA HEIGHTS, THE AGREEMENT OF MODIFICATION WAS SENT BY THE
6:15:33PM TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION TO THE DEVELOPER.
6:15:36PM CONVERSELY, AS RESIDENTS OF THE NORTH SIDE OF TAMPA HEIGHTS,
6:15:40PM WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, WE TOTALLY
6:15:44PM DISAGREE WITH THE AGREEMENT OF MODIFICATION AND THE PROJECT
6:15:47PM AS A WHOLE.
6:15:48PM CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE, TO NAME A FEW, THE CURRENT WAY OF
6:15:52PM WORK, THE UPKEEP, THE UNKEPT GROUNDS AT THE SITE DOESN'T
6:15:56PM SUGGEST THAT IT WILL BE THE QUALITY OF FACILITY THAT WE WANT
6:16:01PM IN OUR COMMUNITY.
6:16:02PM IF THIS IS AN INDICATOR OF WHAT IS YET TO COME AS RESIDENTS,
6:16:07PM WE ARE CONCERNED.
6:16:08PM THE NUMBER OF PROJECTED BEDS PER SQUARE FOOT, PRESENTED BY
6:16:10PM THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROJECT, REPRESENTS A DORMITORY-STYLE
6:16:15PM FACILITY WITH MULTIUSE BATHROOMS FOR THE ELDERLY.
6:16:18PM THIS LEAVES THE COMMUNITY TO WONDER, WHAT WOULD THE QUALITY
6:16:24PM OF LIFE BE FOR THE ELDERLY AND THE VETERANS THAT USE THIS
6:16:27PM FACILITY?
6:16:27PM THE PARK IS LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE FACILITY.
6:16:29PM THE PARK IS USED AS A RECREATION OUTLET FOR MANY OF OUR
6:16:34PM COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN WHICH WE WELCOME.
6:16:37PM HOWEVER, IT OFTEN CAUSES MAJOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION AROUND THE
6:16:41PM PARK.
6:16:42PM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY AND A FIRST
6:16:46PM RESPONDER CANNOT ACCESS THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY IN A
6:16:49PM TIMELY MANNER?
6:16:49PM OFTENTIMES THERE ARE POLICE HELICOPTERS PATROLLING THE AREA
6:16:54PM IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING.
6:16:56PM SOMETIMES FLYING FOR HOURS IN BETWEEN THE A.M. HOURS OF 12
6:17:00PM AND 4 IN THE MORNING.
6:17:01PM THE SOUND AND VIBRATION FROM THE HELICOPTERS CAN BE FELT
6:17:06PM THROUGH OUR HOMES.
6:17:08PM WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR THE FACILITY FOR OUR ELDERLY AND OUR
6:17:11PM VETERANS?
6:17:11PM OUR CELEBRATED VETERANS IN WHICH MANY SUFFER FROM
6:17:17PM POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, ALSO KNOWN TO US AS PTSD,
6:17:21PM WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM THIS FACILITY AT ALL.
6:17:24PM THIS CANNOT BE A GOOD THING FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND
6:17:29PM THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
6:17:30PM AS A COMMUNITY, WE STRUGGLE OURSELVES WITH THE NOISE
6:17:34PM POLLUTION PRODUCED FROM THE PATROLLING HELICOPTERS AND FROM
6:17:37PM THE INTERSTATE.
6:17:40PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:17:40PM THESE ARE JUST SEVERAL OF THE MANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE AS
6:17:42PM A COMMUNITY, AS A COMMUNITY WE ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDING
6:17:45PM THAT FURTHER DISCUSSION BE HELD ON THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS
6:17:50PM TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND A HALT TO THE
6:17:54PM PROJECT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY.
6:17:55PM THANK YOU.
6:18:05PM >> JUSTIN RICKE, TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, PRESIDENT.
6:18:09PM MY ADDRESS IS 103 EAST 26th AVENUE, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33603.
6:18:14PM WHEN WE WERE CHARTING OUR DESTINATIONS FOR THE FUTURE, WE
6:18:19PM OFTENTIMES USED PAST EXPERIENCES AS GUIDES TO KNOW WHERE WE
6:18:22PM HAVE BEEN, WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND WHAT KNOWLEDGE FROM PAST
6:18:25PM LEARNINGS WE MAY USE TO HELP US MOLD THE FUTURE.
6:18:27PM I'M OF THE BELIEF THAT THIS THOUGHT PROCESS IS APPLICABLE
6:18:30PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT A NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW YOU ENVISION ITS
6:18:32PM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AS A RESIDENT.
6:18:34PM AS A DECADE-LONG RESIDENT OF TAMPA HEIGHTS, I'VE BEEN
6:18:37PM THROUGH THE METAMORPHOSIS THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN OUR
6:18:40PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:18:41PM OUR RIVERFRONT CRA HAS BEEN TRANSFORMATIVE AND HAD AN
6:18:44PM EXPONENTIAL IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
6:18:46PM THE FORWARD-THINKING IDEAS AND MOVEMENT TOWARDS SOMETHING
6:18:48PM THAT PUSHES NOT JUST OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BUT OUR CITY AS A
6:18:51PM WHOLE TO NEW LEVELS IS WHAT WE SHOULD ASPIRE TO ACHIEVE.
6:18:55PM WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT THE RIVERFRONT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE THE
6:18:58PM CRA.
6:18:59PM THAT'S WHERE WE WERE.
6:19:00PM OUR FUTURE TODAY LOOKS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT.
6:19:03PM AS A NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATION, WE FEEL LIKE THIS
6:19:05PM SHOULD BE THE WAY THAT WE LOOK AT ALL DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS
6:19:07PM OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST ALONG OUR RIVERFRONT.
6:19:10PM WE WANT TO BE INSPIRED.
6:19:12PM WE WANT TO SEE SIGNS OF INNOVATION, SIGNS OF ADVANCEMENT,
6:19:15PM SIGNS OF MOVING AND PROGRESSING TOWARDS A VISION THAT MAKES
6:19:18PM PEOPLE WANT TO CHOOSE TAMPA HEIGHTS AS A PLACE TO LIVE,
6:19:21PM WORK, AND PLAY.
6:19:21PM WHEN THE DEVELOPER OF THIS PROJECT CAME BEFORE US, WE KNOW
6:19:25PM THAT THIS IS SOMEWHERE THAT WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE.
6:19:27PM IT IS NEITHER PROGRESSIVE NOR NEW.
6:19:29PM THE PROJECT DEVELOPER IS SEEKING TO PUT INTO PLACE HAS BEEN
6:19:32PM ATTEMPTED IN TAMPA HEIGHTS BEFORE.
6:19:33PM WE ARE HERE AGAIN, AND IT IS NOT FOR LACK OF BETTER TERMS,
6:19:40PM BREAKING THE MOLD.
6:19:41PM THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS NO
6:19:43PM JURISPRUDENCE FOR REJECTING THE DEVELOPER'S PLAN.
6:19:46PM THE DEVELOPER HAS TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO MEET WITH US AS A
6:19:49PM COMMUNITY AND HAS ASKED US FOR INPUT IN REGARDS TO WHAT
6:19:53PM WOULD MAKE THEIR PROJECT AMENABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
6:19:55PM AS A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, THIS WAS APPRECIATED.
6:19:58PM AS AN ASSOCIATION, WE HAVE CHOSEN TO NEITHER OPPOSE NOR
6:20:02PM SUPPORT THE APPLICANT'S PETITION DURING THIS HEARING.
6:20:04PM WE ASK THAT COUNCIL REVIEW OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE APPLICANT
6:20:07PM AND IF APPROVED, HOLD THE DEVELOPER ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR
6:20:10PM AGREEMENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
6:20:12PM I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE
6:20:14PM OPINION THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS IS IN DIRE NEED OF SOME TYPE OF
6:20:17PM FORM-BASED OR TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:20:20PM THAT CAN HELP GUIDE DEVELOPERS OF THE FUTURE.
6:20:23PM THE LONGER WE WAIT FOR THIS GUIDANCE, THE MORE THESE ISSUES
6:20:26PM WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE YOUR DOCKET, MEANWHILE, WE
6:20:29PM JEOPARDIZE CAPITALIZING ON OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE
6:20:32PM WORLD-CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS FOR OUR CHILDREN TO INHERIT.
6:20:34PM I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, WISDOM AND CONSIDERATION IN THESE
6:20:36PM MATTERS.
6:20:37PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:20:37PM THANK YOU.
6:20:43PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:20:46PM MY NAME IS ERIN BARNES.
6:20:48PM I'M A SERVICE CONNECTED DISABLED VETERAN.
6:20:51PM MY ADDRESS IS 5318 36th AVENUE CIRCLE WEST, BRADENTON,
6:20:56PM FLORIDA.
6:20:56PM I WORK AS A CONSULTANT WITH THE APPLICANT.
6:20:58PM AND THE IDEA AND THE DESIRE OF BUILDING A FACILITY THAT'S
6:21:03PM CAPABLE OF HOUSING AND HELPING VETERANS LIKE MYSELF IS IN
6:21:06PM DIRE NEED IN THE AREA.
6:21:08PM IT'S GREAT BECAUSE IT'S LOCATED AND CO-LOCATED TO VETERAN
6:21:12PM FACILITIES LIKE THE JAMES A. HALEY HOSPITAL AND OTHER
6:21:16PM REQUIRED HELP PLACES FOR THE VETERANS.
6:21:20PM IT ALSO HELPS REVALUE AND REVITALIZE THE LOCATION OF WHERE
6:21:25PM IT'S AT CURRENTLY BEING THAT THERE IS A PARK ACROSS THE
6:21:28PM STREET.
6:21:28PM NOW, WHEN I FIRST CAME AND DID A SITE SURVEY AND LOOKED AT
6:21:31PM THE LOT AS THEY WERE BUILDING AND LOOKING AT ALL THE OPTIONS
6:21:37PM THAT THEY HAD, I MADE SOME CRITIQUES AND SOME OPTIONS TO
6:21:40PM HELP THE APPLICANT DOING HIS VERY BEST TO MEET EVERYBODY'S
6:21:44PM REQUEST.
6:21:45PM BUT I'M JUST HERE ON BEHALF TO PUSH FOR THE BUILD, BECAUSE
6:21:52PM IT COULD DEFINITELY HELP THE VETERANS IN THE AREA.
6:21:54PM BEING A SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN, I KNOW WHAT'S LIKE TO NEED
6:21:59PM ALL OF US REQUESTS AND -- ALL OF THESE REQUESTS AND HELP TO
6:22:03PM GO TO THE VA TO GET SERVICES, SPECIFICALLY WITH PTSD.
6:22:09PM NOW, THE LOCATION IS NEEDING SOME LOVE.
6:22:11PM I CAN AGREE WITH EVERYBODY ON THAT.
6:22:13PM BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYBODY TO CONSIDER THE OPTION THAT
6:22:15PM IT COULD BE SOMETHING FOR THE VETERANS THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS
6:22:19PM TRIED TO HELP AND IS WORKING TO GET BETTER AT HELPING.
6:22:21PM THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
6:22:27PM THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
6:22:28PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
6:22:35PM >> GOOD EVENING, BOARD.
6:22:36PM MY NAME IS K.C. BOWICK.

6:22:46PM AND THE CHAMBER IS HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT THAT
6:22:52PM IS GOING ON -- IS GOING TO BE GOING ON OVER ON EMILY OVER
6:22:57PM THERE.
6:22:59PM BECAUSE WE FEEL, AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS, THAT SOMETHING
6:23:04PM OF THIS SORT IS NEEDED IN THE AREA FOR THE SENIORS, FOR THE
6:23:10PM VETERANS TO BE HOUSED SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY CAN BE INSTEAD OF
6:23:17PM BEING WAY OUT SOMEWHERE, THEY CAN BE CLOSER TO THEIR
6:23:21PM FAMILIES AND THINGS, AND WHAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT, ABOUT THE
6:23:27PM YARD AND EVERYTHING AND STUFF.
6:23:31PM WHEN THINGS GET DONE AROUND THERE, I'M SURE THE YARD WILL BE
6:23:36PM KEPT CLEAN AND EVERYTHING AND STUFF.
6:23:39PM AND WE ARE HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT THIS AND TO APPROVE THIS AS
6:23:48PM FAR AS THE CHAMBER GOES.
6:23:49PM AND WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER APPROVING THIS
6:23:58PM AND SUPPORTING THIS BECAUSE, ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING
6:24:00PM VALUABLE AND NEEDED FOR OUR SENIORS AND FOR THE VETERANS
6:24:07PM THAT ARE COMING OUT AND THAT ARE OUT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN
6:24:13PM THAT SENSE.
6:24:14PM AND WITH THAT, I SAY TO YOU GOOD EVENING, AND TO CONTINUE

6:24:55PM >> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS SHANE THORSON.
6:24:58PM A LOCAL BUSINESSMAN, FORMER PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE WHO IS NOW
6:25:02PM VERY INVOLVED IN THE ATHLETIC FIELD HERE IN THE TAMPA BAY
6:25:04PM AREA.
6:25:04PM THE PURPOSE FOR MY VISIT HERE TODAY IS NOT SO MUCH TO PUSH
6:25:09PM FOR THE LOCATION, BUT TO ACTUALLY PUSH FOR VETERANS.
6:25:13PM I HAVE A NUMBER OF VETERANS THAT I'VE TRAINED WITH AFTER
6:25:16PM THEIR ACTIVE SERVICE OR ACTIVE DUTY.
6:25:18PM I HAVE A NUMBER OF FRIENDS I GREW UP WITH THAT ARE INVOLVED
6:25:21PM IN THE MILITARY AND HAVE COME BACK FROM ACTIVE SERVICE AND
6:25:24PM ACTIVE DUTY.
6:25:25PM MY PURPOSE TONIGHT IS TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THERE IS AN
6:25:28PM AVERAGE OF 20 VETERANS THAT COMMIT SUICIDE PER DAY.
6:25:30PM AND WHETHER IT'S THE LOCATION, WHETHER IT'S CITY CODE,
6:25:34PM WHETHER IT'S THE DECISION OF THE COUNCIL, AGAIN, MY PURPOSE
6:25:37PM HERE IS TO PUSH FOR VETERANS AND THEIR ABILITY, THEIR
6:25:42PM OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE CORRECT HOUSING.
6:25:43PM I WOULD IMAGINE THAT GIVEN THE BOARD'S OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A
6:25:48PM DECISION, ALONG WITH THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CITY
6:25:50PM AND THE ORDINANCES, THAT THERE WOULD BE A WAY TO FIND AND
6:25:53PM MEET AN AGREEMENT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE -- EXCUSE ME, THIS
6:25:56PM FACILITY BE PERMISSIBLE IN ITS LOCATION.
6:25:59PM I HOPE THAT THE BOARD RULES IN FAVOR OF THIS BECAUSE TO BE
6:26:04PM FAIR, VETERANS NEED THIS OPPORTUNITY.
6:26:07PM ELDERS NEED THIS OPPORTUNITY.
6:26:09PM I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND THE EARS OF THE BOARD, AND I WISH
6:26:13PM YOU ALL -- THANK YOU.
6:26:21PM >> HOW ARE YOU DOING, FOLKS?
6:26:23PM MY NAME IS JAMES SHEPHERD.
6:26:25PM I AM A VETERAN WHO STRUGGLES WITH PTSD AND A NUMBER OF OTHER
6:26:31PM ISSUES THAT WHEN I FIRST GOT OUT AFTER RECEIVING HELP AT THE
6:26:36PM VA, I WAS DISCHARGED AND HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR FRIENDS
6:26:43PM BASICALLY EXTENDING THEIR HOME TO ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN
6:26:47PM HOMELESS.
6:26:47PM HAVING A FACILITY LIKE THIS FOR SOMEBODY WHO MAYBE THEY
6:26:51PM DON'T HAVE THAT NETWORK AVAILABLE TO THEM, IT WOULD BE
6:26:59PM PRICELESS.
6:27:00PM BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT STABILITY, HAVING A ROOF OVER YOUR
6:27:04PM HEAD, HAVING THAT SENSE OF PRIDE, INSTEAD OF HAVING THAT
6:27:08PM NEGATIVE AURA ABOVE YOU AT ALL TIMES, THAT YOU'RE LESS THAN
6:27:15PM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEEM TO JUST GET THAT BASIC NEED OF
6:27:20PM SHELTER, HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN HELP.
6:27:26PM APPROVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS, ALLOWING THIS DEVELOPER TO
6:27:29PM HELP PEOPLE WHO HAVE SACRIFICED A LOT.
6:27:39PM I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE, WHY THERE
6:27:44PM WOULDN'T BE PEOPLE CLAMORING TO SUPPORT THIS AND TO HELP
6:27:48PM FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND CAN BE DONE TO
6:27:52PM MAKE THIS AN EASIER PROCESS.
6:27:55PM THIS SHOULDN'T BE DIFFICULT.
6:27:59PM I MEAN, AS WAS STATED BEFORE, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
6:28:04PM INDIVIDUALS EVERY DAY, 22 A DAY AND IT'S RISING, FRIENDS OF
6:28:08PM MINE WHO FELT LIKE THEY WERE JUST ANIMALS OR DISPOSABLE,
6:28:12PM BECAUSE WE CAN'T, FOR WHATEVER REASON, HAVE A BASIC
6:28:16PM NECESSITY OF LIFE.
6:28:20PM YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT BE RESOURCEFUL.
6:28:22PM WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT CAN GET US
6:28:27PM THROUGH, BUT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT BASIC NEED THAT TAKES
6:28:33PM ONE LESS THING OFF OF OUR PLATE AND ALLOWS US TO FEEL HUMAN.
6:28:38PM NOT FEELING HUMAN IS SOMETHING I STRUGGLED WITH FOR YEARS.
6:28:42PM THIS COULD HELP.
6:28:45PM I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
6:28:53PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
6:28:55PM THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU.
6:28:57PM I'M LENA YOUNG GREEN.
6:28:58PM I LIVE AT 3406 NORTH AVON AVENUE.
6:29:04PM THERE'S NOBODY WHO HAS SPOKEN TO YOU SO FAR THAT LIVES AS
6:29:12PM CLOSE TO THIS FACILITY AS I HAVE FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS.
6:29:18PM BECAUSE OF BEING THERE AS LONG AS WE HAVE, I COULD TELL YOU
6:29:22PM WHAT THE HISTORY IS.
6:29:25PM SOMEBODY MENTIONED ABOUT PAST EXPERIENCES BEING AN
6:29:29PM INDICATION OF THE FUTURE, WE HAVE HAD A FACILITY LIKE THIS
6:29:32PM AT THIS LOCATION 4014 ADDRESS IN THE PAST.
6:29:38PM IT TOOK US YEARS AND YEARS OF FIGHTING A FACILITY LIKE THIS
6:29:44PM IN ORDER TO GET THAT REMOVED FROM OUR COMMUNITY.
6:29:47PM THE IMPACT THAT FACILITIES LIKE THIS HAVE IN OUR
6:29:54PM NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY, VERY DEVASTATING.
6:29:58PM IT'S FUNNY THAT A FEW MONTHS AGO, WE WERE HERE WITH THE
6:30:04PM CIVIC ASSOCIATION ASKING YOU NOT TO APPROVE SUCH A FACILITY
6:30:11PM DOWN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF OUR COMMUNITY.
6:30:12PM NOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ONE DOWN ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
6:30:18PM NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE.
6:30:20PM AND WE ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
6:30:22PM IT'S NO DIFFERENT.
6:30:24PM IT'S NO DIFFERENT.
6:30:24PM TAMPA HEIGHTS IS OVERLOADED WITH FACILITIES THAT PROVIDE
6:30:32PM SERVICES.
6:30:32PM WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT.
6:30:34PM I SAID BACK THEN AT THAT HEARING THAT WE HAD NOTHING AGAINST
6:30:38PM VETERANS.
6:30:40PM MY FAMILY ARE VETERANS.
6:30:42PM PEOPLE CLOSE TO US ARE VETERANS.
6:30:44PM WE ARE NOT FIGHTING A VETERANS' ISSUE.
6:30:46PM WE ARE FIGHTING TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN FOR
6:30:51PM YEARS AND YEARS DEVASTATED BY ALL OF THE PAST ACTIVITIES
6:30:56PM THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS HAS SUFFERED WITH.
6:30:59PM WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN AREA THAT WHEN I OPEN MY DOOR, I
6:31:05PM LOOK TO MY LEFT AND THAT'S THE FACILITY THERE.
6:31:07PM AND BEHIND IT, WE DEAL EVERY DAY WITH 35 ACRES OF PUBLIC
6:31:13PM HOUSING, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY
6:31:18PM TO IMPROVE THAT AREA.
6:31:21PM AND FINALLY, WE ARE AT THE POINT WHERE WE THINK WE ARE GOING
6:31:24PM TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM -- BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THAT AREA.
6:31:30PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:31:31PM I HAVE THREE MINUTES FROM COREEN.
6:31:37PM MAY I HAVE THAT?
6:31:38PM >>FRANK REDDICK: NORMALLY THE PROCESS IS THAT YOU HAVE TO
6:31:42PM TURN ANY IN BEFORE YOU START SPEAKING.
6:31:44PM >> OH, OKAY.
6:31:46PM >>FRANK REDDICK: AND THEN -- YOU DIDN'T DO THAT.
6:31:51PM >> OKAY.
6:31:51PM WE DIDN'T KNOW.
6:31:55PM HANDED IT IN AFTER I STARTED SPEAKING.
6:31:59PM BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF
6:32:06PM TAMPA HEIGHTS.
6:32:07PM YOU CAN'T ADD 150 BEDS IN LESS THAN AN ACRE TO ANOTHER AREA
6:32:10PM THAT HAS 35 ACRES OF OVER A THOUSAND PUBLIC HOUSING.
6:32:14PM WHAT FAIRNESS IS THAT?
6:32:15PM WE GOT TO IMPROVE ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:32:18PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:32:19PM WE TALK ABOUT THE HOLDING -- TALK ABOUT THE HOLE IN THE
6:32:23PM DOUGHNUT AND THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NORTH TAMPA
6:32:25PM HEIGHTS.
6:32:26PM PLEASE DON'T APPROVE THIS REQUEST.
6:32:27PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE NEXT PERSON.
6:32:31PM >> YES, SIR.
6:32:32PM GOOD AFTERNOON.
6:32:32PM MY NAME IS LIONEL POTTS.
6:32:39PM I'VE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR TWO YEARS, WORKING OFF AND ON.
6:32:44PM AND I WORK FOR THIS GUY WHO GOT ME OFF THE STREETS.
6:32:51PM MR. MOHAMMED.
6:32:52PM GOT ME OFF THE STREETS.
6:32:53PM GOT ME GOING.
6:32:54PM AND WITH THIS PROJECT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY NOW.
6:32:57PM AND WITH THE PROJECT, IT CAN HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER
6:33:02PM FAMILIES.
6:33:03PM YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
6:33:04PM AND IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.
6:33:07PM I ALSO WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES.
6:33:13PM AND RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD.
6:33:17PM I STAND BEHIND IT 100%.
6:33:19PM THANK YOU.
6:33:30PM >> I WISH TO SPEAK, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN.
6:33:33PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:33:34PM >> I DIDN'T STAND AND RAISE MY HAND.
6:33:36PM I WISH TO SPEAK NOW, IF I MAY BE SWORN IN
6:33:40PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
6:33:42PM >> I DO.
6:33:42PM GOOD EVENING, FOLKS, COUNCILMEN.
6:33:44PM MY NAME IS McINTOSH.
6:33:46PM I LIVE ON EMILY STREET.
6:33:47PM 512 EMILY STREET.
6:33:49PM I'M THE CLOSEST HOUSE TO 275.
6:33:51PM THE ADDRESS THAT THIS MAN IS LOOKING TO REDO HAS BEEN AN
6:33:58PM EYESORE FOR FIVE YEARS.
6:34:00PM WE BOUGHT FIVE YEARS AGO BASICALLY THIS MONTH.
6:34:03PM IT HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE PLACE WITH NOTHING BUT DRUGS, WITH
6:34:07PM HOMELESS, WITH LITTER.
6:34:09PM IT'S JUST BEEN ATROCIOUS.
6:34:11PM HE HAS COME IN AND THE MAN WHO WAS JUST BEFORE ME HAS DONE A
6:34:16PM MARVELOUS JOB ON THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE BUILDING HAS GONE
6:34:18PM THROUGH TO THIS POINT.
6:34:20PM I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE SETBACKS THAT WERE MENTIONED EARLIER
6:34:25PM -- MAY I CONTINUE?
6:34:26PM >>FRANK REDDICK: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
6:34:27PM >> I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE SETBACKS.
6:34:30PM THAT'S ALL A CODE ISSUE.
6:34:31PM I'M NOT SURE.
6:34:32PM THE AMOUNT THAT WAS REQUESTED AT 150 IS TOO HIGH FOR THE
6:34:36PM LOCATION.
6:34:36PM 87 IS AN ACCEPTABLE NUMBER.
6:34:41PM AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROJECT GO THROUGH.
6:34:44PM SO I'D APPRECIATE -- SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
6:34:47PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
6:34:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
6:34:48PM THE APPLICANT?
6:34:49PM BEFORE YOU START SPEAKING, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
6:35:02PM DID YOU MEET WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION?
6:35:04PM >> YES, SIR.
6:35:04PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MS. GREEN?
6:35:06PM >> YES.
6:35:06PM >>FRANK REDDICK: SO YOU MET WITH THAT GROUP AS WELL.
6:35:08PM OKAY.
6:35:11PM GO AHEAD.
6:35:12PM >> I CAN VERY BRIEFLY GIVE YOU THE BACKGROUND ON THAT.
6:35:14PM WE MET ORIGINALLY WITH THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:35:16PM WE REACHED OUT TO THEM WHEN THIS PROJECT CAME UP, AND WE
6:35:19PM FILED FOR THE PD.
6:35:21PM MET WITH THEM THREE TIMES SINCE DECEMBER.
6:35:24PM THE APPLICANT DEVELOPER HAD WRITTEN A VERY LONG LETTER
6:35:28PM EXPLAINING WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO, WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO
6:35:31PM GET ACCOMPLISHED, A LOT OF THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT TO
6:35:33PM INCLUDE SOME OF THE BED COUNTS, SOME OF THE REQUIREMENT --
6:35:36PM YOU KNOW, THE REQUIREMENTS OF AHCA WITH THE STATE AS FAR AS
6:35:40PM DENSITY AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
6:35:41PM AND HAS REACHED OUT THREE TIMES SINCE THEN TO MEET WITH THEM
6:35:47PM AND THUS THE AGREEMENT THAT WE'VE COME TO WITH THE CIVIC
6:35:50PM ASSOCIATION.
6:35:51PM I KNOW MR. RICKE HAD SAID THE AGREEMENT, I DON'T THINK
6:35:53PM THAT'S GOING TO BE ENFORCEABLE.
6:35:54PM IT'S UP TO THE CITY ATTORNEY, OBVIOUSLY.
6:35:56PM BUT THE DEVELOPER FULLY INTENDS TO COMPLY WITH THE
6:35:59PM COMMITMENTS THAT HE'S MADE.
6:36:01PM THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.
6:36:03PM I'M HAPPY TO PUT THAT INTO THE RECORD IF NEED BE.
6:36:06PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
6:36:09PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF I COULD, SINCE WE'RE GOING TO GO TO
6:36:11PM CONTINUANCE ANYWAY, WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK.
6:36:14PM >> YES, SIR.
6:36:14PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IT WILL BE A PD AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE
6:36:17PM REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE PART OF ANY KIND OF PD THAT COMES
6:36:19PM FORWARD.
6:36:19PM I THINK THE DISCUSSION AND THE ISSUE WAS THAT THERE MAY HAVE
6:36:22PM BEEN PEOPLE FROM THE ASSOCIATION THAT REPRESENTED THE
6:36:26PM SOUTHERN PART OF THE ASSOCIATION, NOT THE NORTHERN PART.
6:36:29PM I THINK THAT WAS PART OF THE ISSUE.
6:36:31PM AND I'M NOT SURE IF MS. GREEN YOUNG HAD KNOWN ABOUT THE
6:36:37PM REDUCTION OF THE HOMES -- I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, THE BEDS, AND
6:36:42PM WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT AT THAT TIME OR IF IT
6:36:46PM WAS WITH MR. RICKE WHO WAS REPRESENTING THE OTHER PART OF
6:36:50PM THE ASSOCIATION.
6:36:51PM THAT'S THE ONLY CONFUSING PART I'VE GOT IN ALL OF THIS.
6:36:55PM WE'RE HEARING FROM TWO DIFFERENT COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT WE
6:37:01PM KNOW AND WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT IT.
6:37:04PM SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE CONFUSED.
6:37:06PM >> YES, SIR.
6:37:07PM TOTALLY AGREE.
6:37:08PM MS. GREEN IS A MEMBER AT LARGE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
6:37:11PM THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:37:12PM SHE WAS AT THE MEETING.
6:37:14PM SHE WAS AT THE MEETING FOR ALL OF THE DISCUSSIONS, CERTAINLY
6:37:16PM ELIGIBLE TO VOICE HER OPINION, WHICH I'M QUITE SURE SHE DID
6:37:19PM WHEN WE WERE NOT IN THE ROOM.
6:37:20PM AGAIN, IT'S A MATTER OF THE HISTORY DOESN'T NECESSARILY
6:37:25PM DICTATE THE FUTURE, WHICH I GET HER CONCERNS.
6:37:30PM I THINK MR. MOHAMMED GETS HER CONCERNS, AND MS. DORY GETS
6:37:35PM THE CONCERNS.
6:37:35PM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ADDRESS BY REACHING OUT, HEY,
6:37:38PM LOOK, WE'RE WILLING TO COMPLY, MAKE SOMETHING WORK.
6:37:43PM I ASKED A NUMBER OF TIMES DURING THE MEETING EXACTLY WHAT
6:37:45PM THEY WANTED THERE, IF THEY DIDN'T WANT AN ASSISTED LIVING
6:37:48PM FACILITY, WHAT WE WERE GIVING AN OPTION OF WAS MULTIFAMILY.
6:37:50PM WITH THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THAT AREA, THE MULTIFAMILY
6:37:53PM RENTS WILL NOT SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACILITIES AS
6:37:57PM THEY WANT TO SEE THEM.
6:37:58PM THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY WILL.
6:38:01PM AND WHAT MR. BIGDORY IS INTENDING TO DO IS BUILD SOMETHING
6:38:05PM THAT IS LOOKING THREE TO FIVE YEARS DOWN THE FUTURE WHEN
6:38:07PM THAT COMMUNITY AREA IS REDEVELOPED TO BE -- FIT IN WITH THAT
6:38:11PM COMMUNITY AS OPPOSED TO THE WAY IT SITS TODAY.
6:38:14PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, I WOULD MAKE THE SUGGESTION AFTER
6:38:17PM SEEING SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU MAKE SURE YOU DO MEET
6:38:22PM WITH HER AND SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN
6:38:25PM THAT PARTICULAR PART OF TAMPA HEIGHTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
6:38:29PM GOING ON.
6:38:29PM GO THE EXTRA MILE BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
6:38:32PM OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU COME BACK HERE IN A MONTH, I THINK IT
6:38:35PM WOULD HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE.
6:38:38PM I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PLANS WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT COMES
6:38:40PM BACK.
6:38:41PM THAT'S UP TO YOU, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE A DECISION BASED ON
6:38:44PM WHATEVER YOU COME BACK TO US WITH.
6:38:46PM WITH THAT, CHAIR, UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, I WANT TO
6:38:49PM MAKE SURE, THOUGH, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
6:38:53PM ABILITY FOR FOLKS TO SPEAK AT THE NEXT HEARING SINCE IT'S
6:38:57PM GOING TO BE A BRAND-NEW PLAN?
6:39:01PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THEY COULD SPEAK TO THE CHANGES, IF
6:39:03PM COUNCIL'S PLEASURE.
6:39:04PM YOU COULD GIVE THEM ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, BUT THEY CERTAINLY
6:39:08PM HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO ANY CHANGES THAT ARE BROUGHT BACK
6:39:10PM FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.
6:39:11PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, I WOULD WISH WE GIVE BROAD LEEWAY
6:39:16PM BECAUSE WE HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLAN BROUGHT TO US,
6:39:19PM WHOLE AND BRAND-NEW TO US.
6:39:21PM WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE BROUGHT UP BEFORE
6:39:25PM IN THE CONTINUANCE.
6:39:26PM I'M NOT SURE IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
6:39:29PM KNOWS, TOO, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE
6:39:32PM THEM SEND OUT ANOTHER NOTICE OR NOT.
6:39:35PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SEND OUT ANOTHER
6:39:39PM NOTICE.
6:39:40PM >> WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO.
6:39:41PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
6:39:42PM THANK YOU, SIR, APPRECIATE THAT.
6:39:43PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE NOTICE OF THE CONTINUANCE DATE IS WHAT
6:39:46PM YOU'RE SAYING.
6:39:47PM >> YES, SIR.
6:39:48PM HAPPY TO DO SO.
6:39:49PM AND TO YOUR POINT, WE'VE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO REACH OUT.
6:39:53PM AGAIN, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS THE WAY WE'VE REACHED OUT.
6:39:55PM MR. BIGDORY HAS OFFERED TO SHOW UP AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF
6:39:58PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
6:40:00PM SO WE'RE CERTAINLY WILLING TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO TRY
6:40:03PM TO MAKE AS MANY ACCOMMODATIONS WE CAN WITHIN A RESPONSIBLE
6:40:06PM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
6:40:08PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:40:09PM ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE ACCEPT THE MOTION
6:40:16PM FROM MR. MIRANDA?
6:40:18PM >> I'LL SECOND MR. MIRANDA'S MOTION.
6:40:20PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I MOVE THAT WE CONTINUE THIS MEETING TO
6:40:22PM MARCH 14th AT 6:00 OF THE YEAR 2019.
6:40:26PM >>HARRY COHEN: SECOND.
6:40:27PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:40:28PM GOT A MOTION FROM MR. MIRANDA.
6:40:29PM SECONDED BY MR. COHEN.
6:40:31PM ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
6:40:32PM ALL RIGHT.
6:40:33PM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
6:40:35PM OPPOSED?
6:40:35PM ALL RIGHT.
6:40:37PM AND IF THERE IS A CIVIC ASSOCIATION MEETING OR NEIGHBORHOOD
6:40:42PM ASSOCIATION MEETING BETWEEN NOW AND THE 14th, I WOULD HOPE
6:40:45PM YOU WILL ATTEND AND TRY TO HAMMER OUT THIS.
6:40:50PM >> YES, SIR.
6:40:50PM WE CERTAINLY OFFERED AND WILLING TO DO SO.
6:40:54PM >>HARRY COHEN: THE HEARING IS OPEN, SO YOU CAN'T TALK TO US.
6:40:59PM >> ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL.
6:41:00PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
6:41:01PM ITEM NUMBER 2.
6:41:04PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
6:41:05PM ITEM NUMBER 2 IS REZ 18-121, A REZONING REQUEST FOR THE
6:41:09PM PROPERTY AT 7113 SOUTH KISSIMMEE STREET FROM CG TO RS-50.
6:41:18PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS, DAVID HEY WITH
6:41:20PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:41:21PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
6:41:21PM WE MOVE DOWN TO THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT FOR THIS
6:41:26PM NEXT CASE, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE PORT TAMPA CITY
6:41:29PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:41:30PM SINCE IT IS DOWN THERE, IT IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
6:41:34PM AREA.
6:41:35PM THERE'S ALSO TRANSIT DOWN THERE, HART'S ROUTE 17 SERVES THAT
6:41:42PM PORTION OF THE CITY.
6:41:43PM SINCE IT IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA, IT IS IN AN
6:41:46PM EVACUATION ZONE A, AND PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITIES WITHIN A
6:41:50PM HALF-MILE RADIUS OF THE SITE INCLUDE THE SOUTHWEST PORT
6:41:53PM TAMPA PARK AND THE DOSTER COMMUNITY CENTER.
6:41:58PM ON TO AN AERIAL, HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:42:04PM THIS IS ZOOMED OUT.
6:42:06PM MARY WILL PROBABLY HAVE A CLOSER IN.
6:42:09PM YOU CAN SEE THE STREET PATTERN.
6:42:11PM THIS PORTION OF KISSIMMEE THAT THE STREET IS ON IS MOSTLY
6:42:17PM VACANT ON THE WEST SIDE AND MOSTLY DUPLEXES AND MULTIFAMILY
6:42:22PM ON THE WEST SIDE.
6:42:23PM AND THIS IS COMMERCE STREET HEADING UP AND THEN UP TOWARD
6:42:28PM WESTSHORE.
6:42:29PM THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE PORT TAMPA LIBRARY BUILDING.
6:42:31PM YOU COULD SEE PORT TAMPA HAS BEEN FILLING IN WITH A LOT OF
6:42:37PM SINGLE-FAMILY -- NEW SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED SOUTH OF THE
6:42:40PM SUBJECT SITE.
6:42:41PM AND ALSO, THIS SITE RIGHT HERE IS THE WESTSHORE ELEMENTARY
6:42:47PM SCHOOL, JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT.
6:42:49PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THE
6:42:54PM SUBJECT SITE AND ALL THAT KIND OF PINK COLOR, LAVENDER, I
6:43:00PM GUESS, IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
6:43:02PM JUST TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST OF THE SITE IN THIS LIGHT
6:43:06PM GRAY, THAT'S ALL SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
6:43:08PM FURTHER SOUTH DOWN KISSIMMEE, THERE IS A POCKET OF
6:43:13PM RESIDENTIAL 35.
6:43:14PM AND THEN YOU'VE GOT RESIDENTIAL 20.
6:43:19PM AND THEN THIS AREA IS ALL THAT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNDER
6:43:22PM THE RESIDENTIAL 10.
6:43:23PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS LOOKED AT IT.
6:43:30PM THE PLAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT OF NEW
6:43:34PM HOUSES ON VACANT INFILL OR UNDERUTILIZED LANDS.
6:43:37PM AT PRESENT, THE PARCEL IS VACANT AND UNDEVELOPED.
6:43:40PM THE PROPOSED REZONING APPROPRIATE INFILL UNDER THE COMMUNITY
6:43:45PM MIXED USE-35 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
6:43:48PM IT DOES FALL WITHIN THAT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA,
6:43:50PM THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT MUST ENSURE THAT THE PROPOSED
6:43:53PM RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT HAVE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS
6:43:56PM ON HURRICANE EVACUATION TIME, ROUTES AND SHELTER DEMANDS IN
6:44:00PM CASE OF A HURRICANE OR NATURAL DISASTER.
6:44:02PM OVERALL, THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS COMPARABLE
6:44:04PM AND COMPATIBLE TO THAT OF EXISTING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
6:44:10PM PATTERN WITHIN THIS PORTION OF PORT TAMPA CITY.
6:44:12PM BASED ON THAT, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST
6:44:14PM CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:44:16PM THANK YOU.
6:44:20PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
6:44:20PM MARY SAMANIEGO, FOR THE RECORD.
6:44:23PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
6:44:26PM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS IN THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING
6:44:31PM DISTRICT.
6:44:33PM AS DAVID STATED, THIS IS AN AREA THAT WAS INDUSTRIAL.
6:44:38PM HOWEVER, THEY DID A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TO CONVERT
6:44:42PM IT OUT OF THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE INTO COMMUNITY MIXED
6:44:45PM USE-35.
6:44:46PM NOW THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO CHANGE THE PROPERTY FROM
6:44:50PM COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING OVER TO RS-50 TO ALLOW FOR
6:44:53PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
6:44:55PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
6:44:58PM IT'S CURRENTLY VACANT.
6:45:00PM THE PROPERTY BESIDE IT AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
6:45:06PM SOME APARTMENTS ACROSS THE STREET AND SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
6:45:08PM SO THERE IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALREADY
6:45:13PM OCCURRING IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
6:45:15PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A LITTLE OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET.
6:45:19PM PER THE RS-50 ZONING STANDARDS, EACH LOT WOULD HAVE TO BE 55
6:45:25PM BY 100 AND 5,000 SQUARE FEET.
6:45:27PM AND ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS TO OCCUR WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
6:45:34PM COMPLY WITH THE RS-50 ZONING STANDARDS.
6:45:37PM THIS IS EUCLIDEAN REZONING SO THERE ARE NO WAIVERS ALLOWED
6:45:40PM AND THERE'S NO SITE PLAN TO SUBMIT.
6:45:42PM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS
6:45:45PM CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
6:45:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:45:47PM ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
6:45:48PM THE APPLICANT?
6:45:58PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:45:59PM I'M LOU TOTH.
6:46:00PM I'M THE APPLICANT.
6:46:02PM I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.
6:46:04PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
6:46:06PM >> EXCUSE ME?
6:46:07PM >>FRANK REDDICK: NO, I'M ASKING MY MEMBERS UP HERE.
6:46:09PM [ LAUGHTER ]
6:46:10PM ALL RIGHT.
6:46:13PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 2?
6:46:16PM SOME PEOPLE COMING UP.
6:46:26PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:46:27PM MY NAME IS KELLY DOANO, I'M WITH THE PORT TAMPA CIVIC
6:46:31PM ASSOCIATION.
6:46:32PM FOR THIS PARTICULAR REZONING, WE DO ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER
6:46:36PM KEEPING IT COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
6:46:37PM THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER COMMERCIAL GENERAL LOTS AROUND
6:46:39PM THE PORT TAMPA AREA WHERE I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO REZONE
6:46:44PM THEM AS RESIDENTIAL.
6:46:44PM BUT THIS ONE IS ALSO AROUND AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE SOME
6:46:46PM OTHER COMMERCIAL FACILITIES THERE.
6:46:48PM A LOT OF THEM ARE BOAT STORAGE PLACES.
6:46:50PM AS POINTED OUT ON THE MAP, THE LIBRARY IS CLOSE THERE.
6:46:54PM PORT TAMPA CONTINUES TO BE FILLED IN WITH BOTH RESIDENTIAL
6:46:56PM HOUSING AND A LOT OF APARTMENTS.
6:46:57PM AS WE GAIN MORE PEOPLE AND CITIZENS, WE DON'T HAVE
6:47:02PM BUSINESSES TO GO TO.
6:47:05PM IT'S ALSO INFILLING WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE.
6:47:07PM THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGE AROUND TAMPA WHICH WE SUPPORT, BUT
6:47:10PM WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP SOME OF OUR BUSINESSES DOWN THERE IN
6:47:13PM PORT TAMPA SO THAT OUR QUALITY OF LIFE REMAINS CONSISTENT
6:47:16PM WITH EVERYONE ELSE COMING IN.
6:47:17PM LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE, AND WE
6:47:22PM SUPPORT THAT.
6:47:23PM BUT WITH THIS BEING COMMERCIAL, WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT
6:47:25PM COMMERCIAL OR EVEN ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF MIXED USE.
6:47:27PM LITTLE BIT OF APARTMENTS AND BUSINESSES SO THAT WE KIND OF
6:47:30PM HAVE A WIN FOR EVERYBODY AND WE CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON
6:47:33PM THIS.
6:47:33PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
6:47:38PM >> HELLO, CITY COUNCIL.
6:47:40PM MY NAME IS JEFFREY NIETUPSKI.
6:47:45PM I AM THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:47:48PM I'M FOLLOWING IN AL'S FOOTSTEPS.
6:47:53PM MUCH LIKE AL GOT INVOLVED, I'LL GET INVOLVED AS WELL.
6:47:55PM MR. TOT, ON YOUR PLAN FOR McCOY, I'M GOING TO ASK CITY
6:48:00PM COUNCIL TO CONSIDER -- I DON'T KNOW THE APPROPRIATE
6:48:04PM TERMINOLOGY, BUT PUSH THIS BACK OR TO GIVE US SOME MORE TIME
6:48:07PM FOR THE DEVELOPER TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC
6:48:12PM ASSOCIATION.
6:48:12PM I AM NOT SURE IF YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DO THAT YET, AND I'LL
6:48:16PM MAKE SURE WE TALK.
6:48:17PM HERE'S THE SITUATION.
6:48:20PM DEVELOPMENT, GOOD.
6:48:21PM APARTMENTS, TOWNHOMES, CONDOS, I'M INDIFFERENT.
6:48:24PM MARINE CORPS VETERAN, ALSO A REAL ESTATE BROKER, SO I
6:48:27PM UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:48:29PM HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
6:48:31PM I LIVE DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:48:33PM IF I'M HUNGRY, I HAVE NOWHERE TO EAT.
6:48:37PM IF I WANT TO GO BUY SOMETHING, THERE'S NOWHERE TO SHOP.
6:48:40PM WE ARE DEVELOPING SOUTH OF GANDY AT A RAPID RATE, WHICH IS
6:48:44PM GREAT.
6:48:44PM MORE TAXABLE INCOME.
6:48:45PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS BETTER.
6:48:47PM HOWEVER, FOR INSTANCE, NICK CRUZ WHO OWNS FIGARO'S FISH
6:48:56PM CAMP, HE WANTS TO OPEN UP ANOTHER LOCATION SOUTH OF GANDY
6:48:59PM BUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF DALE MABRY.
6:49:01PM THERE'S NOWHERE TO DO IT.
6:49:02PM UP AND DOWN BAYSHORE, ONLY A FEW REMAINING PARCELS IN WHICH
6:49:06PM WE MIGHT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOME RESTAURANTS IN.
6:49:08PM WE MIGHT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SOME SHOPPING IN.
6:49:10PM WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FOLKS WHO ARE LIVING IN THE
6:49:13PM AREA, HOWEVER, WE DON'T HAVE ANY SMALL BUSINESSES FOR THESE
6:49:18PM CITIZENS TO GO INTO.
6:49:20PM WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK MR. TOTH AND CITY COUNCIL, IF PERHAPS
6:49:29PM THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR A MIXED USE ON THIS PARCEL.
6:49:32PM MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SHOPPING.
6:49:36PM MAYBE WE CAN HAVE PLACES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND
6:49:39PM ENTREPRENEURS BE ABLE TO COME IN AND HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
6:49:41PM WITH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:49:42PM THE ISSUE IS, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE UPSET ABOUT THE
6:49:44PM DEVELOPMENT.
6:49:45PM I'M NOT.
6:49:46PM I THINK IT'S GREAT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:49:47PM I'M UPSET THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO EAT.
6:49:49PM WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO AND SHOP AND SPEND OUR MONEY.
6:49:52PM WHAT APARTMENTS DO FOR NEIGHBORHOODS, I GOT AN
6:49:56PM UNDERSTANDING.
6:49:56PM THEY BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE IN, WHICH BRINGS A LOT OF EXTRA
6:49:58PM DISPOSABLE INCOME TO SPEND AT THE LOCAL BUSINESSES.
6:50:01PM THE MORE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE MORE BUSINESSES WE
6:50:03PM HAVE, THE MORE ENTREPRENEURS WHO WANT TO CREATE BUSINESSES.
6:50:06PM WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE FOR THESE BUSINESSES TO GET CREATED.
6:50:11PM NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GET ESTABLISHED.
6:50:12PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:50:13PM SO MY REQUEST ON BEHALF OF THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION,
6:50:19PM KELLY SPOKE ON BEHALF OF THE PORT TAMPA CIVIC ASSOCIATION,
6:50:22PM IS TO PERHAPS DELAY OR GIVE US MORE TIME FOR MR. TOTH, THE
6:50:28PM DEVELOPER OF THE PROJECT, TO MEET WITH THE APPROPRIATE CIVIC
6:50:31PM ASSOCIATIONS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SEE IF WE CAN'T COME TO
6:50:36PM SOME COMMON GROUND AND PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER THAT BENEFITS
6:50:39PM EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:50:40PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 2?
6:50:43PM YOU GOT A QUESTION?
6:50:45PM >>HARRY COHEN: I'LL WAIT TILL --
6:50:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
6:50:48PM THE APPLICANT, YOU GOT TIME TO RESPOND.
6:50:52PM YOU CAN RESPOND TO WHAT YOU HEARD HERE TONIGHT.
6:50:57PM >> I REALLY DON'T KNOW --
6:51:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GO AHEAD, STATE YOUR NAME AND RESPOND.
6:51:06PM >> I'M LOU TOTH.
6:51:07PM I'M THE APPLICANT.
6:51:08PM I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND BECAUSE RESIDENTIAL
6:51:15PM BUILDER IN THE SAME AREA.
6:51:17PM ACROSS THE STREET, RESIDENTIAL AREA, THERE IS NO ONE STORE,
6:51:21PM NOTHING LIKE THAT.
6:51:21PM IF THE FOLKS NEED MORE TIME TO TALK, WE CAN DO THAT, BUT I
6:51:27PM DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE OUR REQUEST.
6:51:30PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. COHEN.
6:51:31PM >>HARRY COHEN: I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ASK IF YOU HAD TALKED
6:51:34PM TO THEM AT ALL.
6:51:38PM >> WE HAD TO SEND OUT WHAT THE CITY REQUIRED, NOTICE TO THE
6:51:42PM CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
6:51:43PM WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING BACK.
6:51:44PM I GOT A FEW PHONE CALLS THAT I ANSWERED FROM RESIDENTS
6:51:49PM AROUND THE AREA, BUT NOTHING ELSE.
6:51:54PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. SUAREZ.
6:51:55PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. TOTH, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT A SINGLE-FAMILY
6:51:58PM HOME THERE, IS THAT WHAT IT IS?
6:52:00PM >> ACTUALLY, THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO.
6:52:01PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TWO HOMES?
6:52:03PM >> YES, YES.
6:52:04PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OVER THERE.
6:52:05PM AND WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO MEET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS
6:52:10PM ASSOCIATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE NOW THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY
6:52:14PM HAVE SOME OTHER SUGGESTIONS, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO DO
6:52:18PM THAT.
6:52:19PM WE CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
6:52:20PM YOU CAN ASK US FOR A CONTINUANCE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GO TALK
6:52:23PM TO THEM AND THEN COME BACK AT A DIFFERENT DATE.
6:52:25PM THAT'S UP TO YOU.
6:52:28PM >> FIRST, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE LAND USE.
6:52:31PM IT TOOK FOUR, FIVE MONTHS.
6:52:34PM THIS IS THE THIRD MONTH WE'RE IN THE REZONING PROCESS.
6:52:37PM IT'S ALMOST A YEAR NOW.
6:52:40PM IF I HAVE TO, OF COURSE, I DO.
6:52:42PM IF I DON'T HAVE TO, I'D LIKE TO REQUEST APPROVAL FOR THE
6:52:46PM REZONING.
6:52:46PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
6:52:47PM THE REASON WHY I ASK YOU IS THAT IF YOU DON'T, SOMETIMES
6:52:52PM WHEN WE VOTE, IT DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY AND THEN YOU WON'T BE
6:52:58PM ABLE TO GET A CHANGE.
6:52:59PM OR IF YOU MAKE A DECISION TO GO FORWARD AND MAYBE YOU MEET
6:53:01PM WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SOMETIMES YOU GET SOMETHING THAT IS
6:53:04PM WORKABLE.
6:53:05PM AGAIN, THAT'S UP TO YOU AS TO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
6:53:08PM YOU HEARD WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAD TO SAY AND THEY HAD
6:53:11PM SOME DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS.
6:53:12PM YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND YOU DON'T HAVE
6:53:14PM TO ASK US FOR A CONTINUANCE.
6:53:16PM I'M ASKING YOU BASED ON WHAT YOU HEARD SO FAR AND THE
6:53:20PM QUESTIONS YOU HAD, DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
6:53:22PM >> I'M WILLING TO DO.
6:53:24PM I'M WILLING TO TALK TO THE ASSOCIATION.
6:53:26PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: ALL RIGHT.
6:53:27PM WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO COME BACK, IF I COULD GET A DATE --
6:53:31PM MARCH 14th ALSO.
6:53:34PM >> NOT MARCH 14th.
6:53:35PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: LET'S MAKE SURE IT'S OKAY --
6:53:37PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I BELIEVE AT THIS POINT MARCH 14th IS
6:53:40PM PROBABLY FULL.
6:53:40PM THIS IS THE LAST CONTINUANCE.
6:53:42PM I WOULD SAY MARCH 28th.
6:53:45PM IT'S AN ALCOHOL NIGHT, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU.
6:53:47PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
6:53:48PM SIR, WE WILL CONTINUE IT, AND YOU WILL COME BACK ON THE
6:53:54PM 28th.
6:53:55PM PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TALK TO THEM SINCE YOU ASKED FOR THE
6:54:01PM CONTINUANCE AND COME BACK AT THAT TIME.
6:54:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: BUT THE APPLICANT MADE A STATEMENT, A
6:54:06PM COMMENT WHEN HE FIRST RESPONDED, HE SAID EVEN IF HE MET WITH
6:54:14PM THEM, HE SAW NO CHANGES GOING TO BE MADE.
6:54:17PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
6:54:18PM AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO PRECLUDE WHATEVER DISCUSSION COMES
6:54:22PM OUT OF THAT.
6:54:23PM AGAIN, IT'S A MATTER OF HIM BEING ABLE TO MEET WITH THEM.
6:54:27PM THAT'S UP TO HIM.
6:54:27PM IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT --
6:54:30PM >>FRANK REDDICK: IS THAT YOUR SAME POSITION THAT EVEN IF YOU
6:54:32PM MET WITH THEM YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO CHANGE ANYTHING?
6:54:36PM >> SIR, I'M REPRESENTING THE OWNER, SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO
6:54:40PM SAY WHAT HE THINKS OR NOT.
6:54:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
6:54:47PM ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
6:54:49PM >> HE MIGHT GET INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSION, YES.
6:54:52PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: TERRIFIC.
6:54:54PM ALL RIGHT.
6:54:54PM I'LL MAKE THE MOTION THAT CONTINUE THIS UNTIL MARCH 28th I
6:54:59PM BELIEVE AT 6 P.M.
6:55:00PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND.
6:55:01PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ.
6:55:02PM SECONDED BY MR. MIRANDA TO CONTINUE THIS TO MARCH THE
6:55:05PM 28th.
6:55:06PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
6:55:07PM OPPOSED?
6:55:08PM OKAY.
6:55:09PM YES, SIR.
6:55:12PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS THERE WILL BE NO
6:55:15PM ADDITIONAL NOTICE SENT OUT REGARDING THAT CONTINUANCE.
6:55:18PM THIS IS THE ONLY NOTICE THAT YOU'LL BE RECEIVING FOR
6:55:20PM MARCH 28.
6:55:21PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: IF I COULD, I SUGGEST YOU TALK TO HIM NOW,
6:55:25PM GET THE INFORMATION AND FIGURE OUT DATES THAT YOU CAN MEET.
6:55:35PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:55:36PM ITEM 3.
6:55:38PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM 3 IS REZ 18-122.
6:55:42PM IT'S IN THE SAME AREA.
6:55:43PM IT'S 7701 SOUTH O'BRIEN STREET.
6:55:51PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
6:55:52PM DAVID HEY WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:55:53PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
6:55:54PM WE'RE STILL IN THAT BUSY SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
6:55:59PM AGAIN, THE PORT TAMPA CITY NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:56:02PM THERE IS TRANSIT, LIKE THE LAST ONE.
6:56:04PM IT'S ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT
6:56:06PM SITE.
6:56:08PM JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE IT'S IN THE LEVEL A EVACUATION ZONE.
6:56:12PM THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL FACILITY IS SOUTHWEST PORT
6:56:15PM TAMPA PARK LOCATED TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
6:56:19PM THIS IS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE LAST ONE.
6:56:24PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.
6:56:26PM A LOT OF THIS IS UNDEVELOPED.
6:56:27PM A LOT OF THIS IS CITY-OWNED PROPERTY.
6:56:29PM THIS IS PART OF THE PARK, JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE
6:56:34PM SUBJECT SITE, THESE TANKS TO THE SOUTH, THAT'S MACDILL AIR
6:56:38PM FORCE BASE AND THE BOUNDARY FOR THE BASE.
6:56:42PM BUT YOU CAN SEE THE AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY SINGLE-FAMILY
6:56:45PM DETACHED.
6:56:46PM WE ALSO HAVE SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING FURTHER TO THE
6:56:50PM EAST.
6:56:51PM HERE IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
6:56:54PM IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THE SUBJECT SITE IS THAT RESIDENTIAL
6:56:57PM TEN, SIMILAR TO THAT TAN COLOR.
6:57:01PM THERE IS SOME SCATTERED, UNDEVELOPED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
6:57:05PM PARCELS ALL DOWN IN THIS AREA, BUT THIS AREA HAS BEEN
6:57:08PM TRENDING.
6:57:09PM THERE'S BEEN NUMEROUS PLAN AMENDMENTS DOWN HERE BRINGING IT
6:57:13PM TO THE RESIDENTIAL 10 SITE.
6:57:14PM THE BLUE IS THE PUBLIC, QUASI-PUBLIC ASSOCIATED WITH MACDILL
6:57:18PM AIR FORCE BASE.
6:57:20PM THE BLACK IS ACTUALLY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
6:57:23PM A LOT OF THIS IS CITY OWNED.
6:57:26PM A LOT OF IT IS WETLANDS.
6:57:27PM EVEN THOUGH IT'S INDUSTRIAL, IT'S NOT DEVELOPED.
6:57:30PM AND THEN YOU'VE GOT SOME NATURAL PRESERVATION FURTHER TO THE
6:57:33PM WEST.
6:57:34PM THIS SITE, THE REQUEST TO REZONE THE SUBJECT SIDE FROM THAT
6:57:44PM ADOPTED INDUSTRIAL GENERAL ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH WAS THE
6:57:47PM OLD ZONING, TO THE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY 50, THIS WILL
6:57:51PM ALLOW FOR COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN
6:57:55PM THIS SOUTHERN PORTION OF PORT TAMPA CITY NEIGHBORHOOD.
6:57:57PM THE PROPOSED REZONING IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE INFILL
6:58:00PM DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE
6:58:04PM CATEGORY.
6:58:04PM THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF THE
6:58:09PM PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS PORTION OF SOUTH
6:58:11PM O'BRIEN STREET.
6:58:12PM THE EXISTING AVERAGE DENSITY FOR RESIDENTIAL PARCELS
6:58:15PM FRONTING THIS BLOCK OF SOUTH O'BRIEN STREET WITH A
6:58:19PM RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE DESTINATION AND EXCLUDING THE
6:58:22PM SUBJECT SITE IS 8.72 UNITS PER ACRE.
6:58:25PM IF THE APPLICANT THROUGH THIS REZONING TO RS-50 CREATES TWO
6:58:29PM DEVELOPABLE LOTS IT WOULD CREATE A DENSITY OF NINE DWELLING
6:58:32PM UNITS PER ACRE ON THIS SUBJECT SITE.
6:58:34PM THIS PORTION OF SOUTH O'BRIEN STREET AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
6:58:37PM TWO DEVELOPABLE SITES ON THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMPARABLE AND
6:58:40PM COMPATIBLE.
6:58:40PM THE PROPERTY IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA, SO THE
6:58:45PM APPLICANT WOULD NEED TO ENSURE THROUGH THE CITY THAT THE
6:58:48PM SHELTER DEMANDS ARE MET AND ANY MITIGATION IS PROVIDED.
6:58:54PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
6:58:57PM FINDS THE PROPOSED REZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS
6:58:59PM OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:59:01PM THANK YOU.
6:59:09PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT
6:59:10PM COORDINATION.
6:59:11PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP OF THE PROPERTY.
6:59:18PM IT IS IN AN AREA ZONED INDUSTRIAL GENERAL.
6:59:24PM THEY DID A LAND USE AMENDMENT, AS DAVID SAID.
6:59:26PM NOW THEY'RE WANTING AGAIN TO GO TO RS-50 FOR TWO
6:59:30PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.
6:59:31PM THIS IS AN AREA OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED
6:59:35PM LAST YEAR, THE RELATIVELY LARGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THE
6:59:39PM INFILL RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION.
6:59:43PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, CURRENTLY VACANT AND UNUSED.
6:59:49PM ACROSS THE STREET, THAT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND BASIC
6:59:52PM CONSTRUCTION, SITE CLEARINGS OCCURRING FOR THE LARGER PD.
6:59:55PM ACROSS O'BRIEN, HERE ARE SOME OF THE CANALS THAT SERVE THE
7:00:01PM AREA AND THEN SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES ARE ON THE REMAINING
7:00:04PM LOTS.
7:00:04PM REQUESTED THE AGREEMENT TO REZONE TO RS-50 AS A RESIDENTIAL
7:00:10PM INFILL PROJECT.
7:00:11PM AS DAVID INDICATED, THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED INDUSTRIAL
7:00:14PM GENERAL BUT IT SAT VACANT AND NOT USED FOR INDUSTRIAL
7:00:19PM PROJECTS FOR DECADES.
7:00:20PM SO IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO TRANSITION IT OVER TO WHAT THE
7:00:26PM EXISTING ESTABLISHED CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA WHICH
7:00:28PM IS RESIDENTIAL.
7:00:29PM SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO GO TO RS-50, SINGLE-FAMILY
7:00:33PM RESIDENTIAL FOR A MAXIMUM OF TWO LOTS ON THE 10,000 SQUARE
7:00:38PM FEET.
7:00:38PM ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS TO OCCUR WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
7:00:40PM COMPLY WITH RS-50 ZONING STANDARDS AND THE DEVELOPMENT
7:00:43PM REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:00:46PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
7:00:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
7:00:51PM ALL RIGHT.
7:00:52PM APPLICANT.
7:00:56PM >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN.
7:00:58PM I'M LOU TOTH.
7:00:59PM I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROJECT.
7:01:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
7:01:04PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 3?
7:01:15PM >> HI.
7:01:15PM JEFFREY NIETUPSKI AGAIN.
7:01:18PM THIS PARTICULAR REDEVELOPMENT, REZONING IS NOT IN THE GANDY
7:01:22PM CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS DISTRICT, SO I'M COMING HERE AS A PRIVATE
7:01:27PM CITIZEN.
7:01:28PM I SUPPORT THE IDEA OF IT.
7:01:29PM I THINK IT'S GOOD TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM THE INDUSTRIAL
7:01:32PM VACANT LANDS WE HAVE TO PUT IN NICE, NEW HOMES.
7:01:36PM I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT.
7:01:37PM I GUESS MY ONLY REQUEST WOULD BE BUILDING SOMETHING IN THERE
7:01:40PM THAT WOULD MAINTAIN LIKE -- KIND OF LIKE THE CHARACTERISTIC
7:01:44PM OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT KIND OF HOUSE YOU PUT ON THERE IT
7:01:47PM WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW.
7:01:49PM I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
7:01:52PM I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT I'M A VERY REASONABLE PERSON.
7:01:54PM THANK YOU.

7:22:39PM IT IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR 2502 WEST FIG STREET FROM RM-16
7:22:43PM TO RM-18.
7:22:48PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:22:49PM COUNCIL MEMBERS, DAVID HEY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:22:51PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:22:52PM WE MOVE BACK UP TO THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT FOR
7:22:56PM THIS NEXT CASE, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE WEST TAMPA URBAN
7:23:00PM VILLAGE.
7:23:00PM THE SUBJECT SITE, THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY IS
7:23:06PM VILLA BROTHER PARK, WHICH IS 0.17 MILES TO THE NORTH.
7:23:12PM THERE IS TRANSIT PROVIDED DOWN ON KENNEDY BOULEVARD TO THE
7:23:15PM SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:23:16PM AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN THE LEVEL D EVACUATION ZONE.
7:23:19PM ON TO THE AERIAL, THIS IS THE ZOOMED-OUT ONE.
7:23:24PM MARY WILL HAVE A CLOSER-IN ONE.
7:23:26PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS RIGHT HERE.
7:23:28PM THIS IS NORTH TAMPANIA AVENUE AND WEST FIG.
7:23:32PM THE AREA HAS A MIXTURE OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND
7:23:37PM TOWNHOMES IN IT.
7:23:39PM THIS IS THE VILA BROTHERS PARK, AND THIS IS THE BRYAN GLAZER
7:23:45PM JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER.
7:23:46PM THEN YOU HAVE KENNEDY BOULEVARD TO THE SOUTH WITH ALL THAT
7:23:49PM COMMERCIAL AND THAT STUFF DOWN THERE.
7:23:51PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALL THE
7:23:59PM PROPERTIES SURROUNDING IT IN THAT BROWN ARE THE RESIDENTIAL
7:24:01PM 20.
7:24:01PM THE DENSITY GOES DOWN WHEN YOU MOVE WEST OF HAVANA AVENUE
7:24:07PM DOWN TO RESIDENTIAL 10.
7:24:10PM TO THE EAST, THIS PINK IS ALL THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
7:24:13PM THAT IS THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER.
7:24:15PM IT GETS MORE INTENSE AS YOU GO UP HOWARD AVENUE INTO THE
7:24:20PM CC-35 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
7:24:22PM AND THEN TO THE SOUTH, THE KIND OF LAVENDER COLOR ON KENNEDY
7:24:27PM IS THE URBAN MIXED USE 60 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
7:24:30PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE TO
7:24:36PM THAT RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY 18.
7:24:38PM WE FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE IMPACTS ON
7:24:42PM PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO THE SITE.
7:24:45PM IT'S WITHIN THAT WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
7:24:49PM THE AREA OF THE CITY WHICH HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE
7:24:54PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SEEKS TO DIRECT GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH.
7:24:59PM IT PROVIDES DIVERSE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF
7:25:02PM TAMPA, THE URBAN VILLAGES.
7:25:03PM AND THIS PROJECT WOULD ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL INFILL IN AN
7:25:09PM APPROPRIATE AREA.
7:25:10PM SO BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
7:25:13PM FINDS THE PROPOSED REZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA
7:25:15PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:25:15PM THANK YOU.
7:25:19PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
7:25:19PM MARY SAMANIEGO, FOR THE RECORD.
7:25:25PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP.
7:25:26PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
7:25:28PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LARGER AREA IN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS
7:25:32PM ALREADY IN THE RM-16 ZONING DISTRICT.
7:25:34PM SO THEY ARE JUST ASKING FOR A SLIGHT DENSITY INCREASE TO GO
7:25:38PM TO THE RM-18 DISTRICT.
7:25:40PM SEVERAL AREAS -- THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOME REZONING KIND
7:25:44PM OF IN THE AREA FOR THE SLIGHT INCREASE, WHICH IS ALLOWABLE
7:25:47PM -- INCREASE IN DENSITY WHICH IS ALLOWABLE IN THE LAND USE
7:25:51PM CATEGORY.
7:25:52PM BASED ON THE LOT SIZE, IT'S A LITTLE OVER 10,500 SQUARE
7:25:56PM FEET.
7:25:56PM IF THE REZONING WERE TO BE APPROVED FOR RM-18, A TOTAL OF
7:26:00PM FOUR DWELLING UNITS COULD THEORETICALLY BE DEVELOPED ON THIS
7:26:03PM PROPERTY.
7:26:04PM IT'S ON THE CORNER OF FIG AND TAMPANIA.
7:26:09PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:26:10PM IT'S CURRENTLY VACANT.
7:26:12PM THE SURROUNDING AREA IS A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES.
7:26:17PM IN THE EVENT THIS PROPERTY WERE TO BE REZONED, ALL
7:26:24PM DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD ZONING
7:26:27PM PROVISIONS FOR THE RM-18 ZONING DISTRICT.
7:26:31PM THERE IS NO SITE PLAN TO SUBMIT AND THERE ARE NO WAIVERS.
7:26:34PM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS
7:26:37PM CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
7:26:40PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
7:26:41PM ALL RIGHT.
7:26:43PM PETITIONER?
7:26:47PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:26:49PM STEVE MICHELINI.
7:26:50PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS, 2502 WEST FIG.
7:26:54PM BASICALLY, THE STAFF HAS RUN THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT
7:26:57PM CRITERIA.
7:26:58PM IT'S RESIDENTIAL 20 LAND USE CLASSIFICATION, WHICH ALLOWS
7:27:01PM FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE RM-18 ZONING.
7:27:04PM WE WILL HAVE TO MEET THE CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUES REGARDING
7:27:08PM SETBACKS AND LOT SIZE DEVELOPMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS
7:27:12PM WELL AS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT GUIDELINES.
7:27:14PM BOTH THE CITY AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAVE FOUND
7:27:18PM IT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR CODES AND THEIR REVIEW
7:27:22PM CRITERIA.
7:27:22PM I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
7:27:25PM THE LOT IS 10,518 SQUARE FEET.
7:27:27PM AND AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, IT WOULD ALLOW FOR THE
7:27:32PM CONSIDERATION OF FOUR UNITS TO BE DEVELOPED ON THIS
7:27:35PM PROPERTY.
7:27:36PM I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR PERMISSION TO GO FORWARD AND
7:27:38PM YOUR APPROVAL.
7:27:39PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:27:40PM ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL FOR THE PETITIONER?
7:27:42PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
7:27:51PM >> HI.
7:27:52PM MY FIRST TIME SO I'M A ROOKIE.
7:27:55PM I LIVE AT 2506 WEST FIG.
7:27:58PM MY NAME IS JOILEE.
7:27:59PM AND I DIDN'T GET A NOTICE.
7:28:04PM I JUST SAW THE SIGN NEXT DOOR TO THE PROPERTY.
7:28:07PM WHEN THEY WERE EXPLAINING, THEY SAID SOME MIX OF
7:28:10PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND TOWNHOMES, BUT A LOT OF THE
7:28:12PM TOWNHOMES ARE FAIRLY RECENT.
7:28:13PM WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO BUY MY FIRST HOME, WHICH I DID TEN
7:28:16PM YEARS AGO, I WAS LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR SCHOOL DISTRICT
7:28:20PM BUT ONE THAT I COULD AFFORD, AND I FOUND FIG.
7:28:24PM AND WHAT I LOVE IS THAT WHILE IT IS FLAVORFUL IN PEOPLE,
7:28:29PM IT'S FLAVORFUL IN ARCHITECTURE.
7:28:30PM THEY WERE ALL SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
7:28:31PM IT WAS REALLY JUST VERY NICE TO SEE ALL THE DIVERSITY IN ALL
7:28:37PM AREAS.
7:28:37PM I'M NOT, NOR SHOULD I TRY TO BLOCK PROGRESS.
7:28:44PM THAT'S NOT AT ALL WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
7:28:46PM SOME THINGS HAVE GONE UP RECENTLY IN THE AREA THAT ARE VERY
7:28:50PM DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ARCHITECTURE.
7:28:52PM JUST REAL RECENTLY FROM THE SAME DEVELOPER.
7:28:55PM I BELIEVE 2411, CATTY-CORNER ACROSS THE STREET, THEY PUT TWO
7:28:59PM BIG, WHAT LOOKS LIKE TWO BIG HOMES, BUT THEY ARE FOUR UNITS,
7:29:02PM AND THEY ARE THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH.
7:29:06PM MY CONCERN IS THOSE ARE, I'M GUESSING, RM 16 BECAUSE OF THE
7:29:11PM THREE BEDROOM IS THAT THERE WOULD BE ADEQUATE PARKING.
7:29:13PM THE THINGS THAT I THINK MAYBE COULD BE ADDRESSED HERE.
7:29:17PM I CAN'T CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE.
7:29:19PM IT'S CHANGING.
7:29:20PM YOU KNOW, WE WERE ALL PRETTY SINGLE STORIES.
7:29:23PM NOW THINGS ARE GOING UP TO LOOK VERY DIFFERENT, BUT I
7:29:26PM DIGRESS.
7:29:26PM THEY HAVE IT LOOKS LIKE ACROSS THE STREET WHAT I HOPE WOULD
7:29:31PM BE ADEQUATE PARKING BECAUSE IF THERE'S THREE BEDROOMS AND
7:29:34PM THEY ARE RENTING, THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE STUDENTS.
7:29:36PM THERE ARE SOME U.T. STUDENTS THAT HAVE RENTED SOME OF THE
7:29:40PM BUNGALOWS NEXT TO US.
7:29:42PM THAT'S FINE.
7:29:43PM PARKING JUST WOULD BE AN ISSUE.
7:29:45PM IT'S NOT THE WIDEST STREET, AND IF YOU'RE PARKING IN THE
7:29:49PM STREET, ESPECIALLY ON A CORNER, IT COULD BE A REAL SAFETY
7:29:51PM ISSUE.
7:29:52PM SO MY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT THERE WOULD BE ADEQUATE PARKING
7:29:56PM BUILT IN ON THE PROPERTY, LIKE IT APPEARS AT 2411, AT LEAST
7:30:00PM IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE FOUR GARAGES, AND THEN PARKING FOR
7:30:03PM TWO CARS BETWEEN.
7:30:05PM BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO 18, LIKE I SAID I'M A NOVICE, I'M
7:30:10PM GUESSING THAT WOULD BE FOUR BEDROOMS PER UNIT WHICH COULD BE
7:30:12PM THE POSSIBILITY OF 16 CARS.
7:30:16PM IF YOU HAVE THREE BEDROOMS AND EVERYONE IS DRIVING,
7:30:19PM ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE STUDENTS AND THEY'RE RENTING, YOU
7:30:21PM KNOW, ACROSS THE STREET YOU'RE LOOKING AT 12 CARS.
7:30:24PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:30:25PM IF IT'S 18, WOULD THAT BE AN EXTRA BEDROOM?
7:30:31PM >>HARRY COHEN: IT'S NOT ROOMS 16 OR 18.
7:30:33PM IT'S RM IS A ZONING CATEGORY.
7:30:35PM JUST TO BE CLEAR.
7:30:37PM IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE'S THE NUMBER OF ROOMS.
7:30:40PM >> OKAY.
7:30:41PM LIKE I SAID, NOVICE.
7:30:42PM BUT THE OTHER ONE IS THERE ARE 12 BEDROOMS ON THE OTHER ONE.
7:30:46PM SO I'M GUESSING AT LEAST 12 THERE.
7:30:48PM AS LONG AS THERE'S ADEQUATE PARKING, I THINK THAT'S
7:30:50PM SOMETHING THAT MAYBE CAN BE ADDRESSED, MAYBE CAN'T.
7:30:53PM I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE PART OF THE PLAN TO HAVE ADEQUATE
7:30:58PM PARKING AVAILABLE ON THE SITE ITSELF.
7:30:59PM LIKE I SAID, IT IS AT A CORNER AND THE STREETS ARE NARROW.
7:31:02PM AND IF THERE IS PARKING ON THE SITE, IT COULD DEFINITELY BE
7:31:04PM A SAFETY HAZARD.
7:31:05PM THE OTHER THING WOULD BE --
7:31:06PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:31:07PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MA'AM, YOUR TIME IS UP.
7:31:09PM THAT RED LIGHT MEANS YOUR TIME IS UP.
7:31:12PM >> OKAY.
7:31:12PM TREES, DO WE CARE ABOUT TREES ON THE PROPERTY AT ALL?
7:31:15PM >>FRANK REDDICK: YOUR TIME IS UP.
7:31:16PM >> NINE TREES.
7:31:16PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE RED LIGHT MEANS YOUR TIME IS UP.
7:31:18PM >> OKAY.
7:31:19PM THANK YOU.
7:31:20PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER
7:31:24PM 4?
7:31:24PM ALL RIGHT.
7:31:25PM THE APPLICANT?
7:31:28PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES, SIR.
7:31:29PM TO ADDRESS THE COMMENTS THAT THE NEIGHBOR INDICATED SHE HAD
7:31:33PM CONCERNS ABOUT, TYPICALLY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE,
7:31:37PM AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE SPACE IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR TWO
7:31:41PM ADDITIONAL CARS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MEET THE TECHNICAL
7:31:44PM STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION FOR THE BACKUP SPACE.
7:31:47PM SO EACH ONE OF THESE WILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE CODE.
7:31:52PM CAN'T BE ANY WAIVERS FOR STORMWATER, AND IF THERE ARE TREE
7:31:54PM ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE NATURAL
7:31:57PM RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AND MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR THEM
7:32:00PM AS WELL, AND THAT INCLUDES ANY REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF
7:32:03PM TREES ON THE SITE.
7:32:05PM SO THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE PERMITTING
7:32:09PM PROCESS, AND YOU CAN'T BUILD ANYTHING WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE
7:32:14PM TRANSPORTATION, THE STORMWATER, AND THE TREE AND NATURAL
7:32:17PM RESOURCES TREE CODE.
7:32:18PM SO I'D RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
7:32:22PM AGAIN, CITY STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION BOTH FOUND IT
7:32:25PM CONSISTENT.
7:32:27PM >>HARRY COHEN: JUST TO BE CLEAR FOR THE COMMENT THAT WE
7:32:30PM HEARD, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE ZONING
7:32:34PM REGULATIONS, PROVIDE ADEQUATE PARKING OR YOU'LL HAVE TO COME
7:32:37PM BACK TO CITY COUNCIL TO ASK FOR A WAIVER?
7:32:40PM >> WE WOULD HAVE TO FILE A NEW APPLICATION, WHICH WOULD BE A
7:32:42PM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE
7:32:46PM REQUESTING WAIVERS FOR.
7:32:47PM WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING THAT.
7:32:50PM WE BELIEVE WE HAVE SUFFICIENT SPACE TO MEET ALL THE CODE
7:32:54PM REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT THOSE WAIVERS.
7:32:55PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
7:32:56PM COUNCIL?
7:32:56PM ALL RIGHT.
7:32:58PM ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE APPLICANT?
7:33:00PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, SIR.
7:33:01PM UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME.
7:33:02PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION TO CLOSE?
7:33:03PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED.
7:33:04PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:33:05PM GOT A MOTION FROM MR. MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY MR. MIRANDA.
7:33:08PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
7:33:09PM OPPOSED?
7:33:10PM MR. COHEN, READ NUMBER 4?
7:33:14PM >>HARRY COHEN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR.
7:33:15PM I MOVE AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING
7:33:17PM CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL
7:33:20PM VICINITY OF 2502 WEST FIG STREET IN THE CITY OF TAMPA,

7:33:38PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.

7:33:51PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
7:33:52PM GO TO ITEM NUMBER 5.
7:33:55PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, FOR THE RECORD.
7:33:57PM ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ 19-02, FOR THE PROPERTY GENERALLY
7:34:00PM LOCATED AT 6209 SOUTH 3rd STREET FROM RS-60 TO RS-50.
7:34:07PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:34:09PM DAVID HEY AGAIN WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:34:11PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:34:12PM WE MOVE BACK DOWN TO THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT FOR
7:34:15PM THIS NEXT CASE, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE BALLAST POINT
7:34:18PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:34:19PM THE SUBJECT -- THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY IS
7:34:23PM SKYVIEW PARK, WHICH IS ABOUT 420 FEET SOUTHWEST OF THE SITE.
7:34:28PM THERE IS TRANSIT DOWN IN THAT END OF THE CITY AT DALE MABRY
7:34:35PM AND INTERBAY, AND THEN IT IS WITHIN A LEVEL A EVACUATION
7:34:41PM ZONE WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT IT IS IN THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD
7:34:45PM AREA.
7:34:46PM ON TO THE AERIAL, AGAIN, THE ZOOMED-OUT ONE, THIS IS THE
7:34:51PM SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE.
7:34:53PM THIS IS SOUTH 3rd STREET.
7:34:55PM IT DEAD-ENDS INTO THE PAVILIONS APARTMENT COMPLEX DOWN THERE
7:35:00PM ON MacDILL.
7:35:01PM YOU COULD SEE THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA IS ALL SINGLE-FAMILY
7:35:04PM DETACHED, EXCEPT FOR THE APARTMENT COMMUNITY.
7:35:08PM ACROSS -- THIS IS MacDILL, INTERBAY, THIS IS SKYVIEW
7:35:12PM PARK, AND THEN THIS IS ACTUALLY THE ELAP PROPERTY DOWN IN
7:35:16PM SOUTH TAMPA.
7:35:17PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALL OF
7:35:24PM THE PROPERTIES ON SOUTH 3rd STREET AND THE SURROUNDING
7:35:27PM AREA IN THAT, I GUESS, TAN COLOR IS RESIDENTIAL 10.
7:35:32PM IT GETS A LITTLE MORE DENSE AS YOU MOVE TOWARD MacDILL.
7:35:35PM THE PROPERTIES ON MacDILL ARE RESIDENTIAL 20.
7:35:39PM THIS REPRESENTS THE -- THE GREEN REPRESENTS THE RECREATION
7:35:43PM OPEN SPACE.
7:35:44PM SKYVIEW PARK AND THE ELAP.
7:35:47PM AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL AREA IS LOCATED AT INTERBAY AND
7:35:50PM MacDILL.
7:35:52PM THAT'S THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
7:35:55PM YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROMOTES AN
7:36:02PM ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING WITHIN THE CITY WITH THE ABILITY
7:36:09PM TO MEET THE NEEDS, PREFERENCES, AND FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES
7:36:13PM OF A RANGE OF CITIZENS.
7:36:16PM PLANS TO CONSTRUCT TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSES
7:36:19PM FURTHERING ONE OF THE PLAN'S PRIMARY HOUSING POLICIES.
7:36:22PM THE SITE, SINCE IT IS A LARGER SITE THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY
7:36:31PM FOUND IN THAT PORTION OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, IT IS
7:36:34PM UNDERUTILIZED UNDER THAT RESIDENTIAL TEN, AND THIS WOULD
7:36:39PM BRING THE DENSITY MORE IN COMPLIANCE TO DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
7:36:44PM AROUND IT.
7:36:44PM IT IS WITHIN THAT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA STATED
7:36:47PM PREVIOUSLY, AND THE APPLICANT SHOULD WORK WITH THE CITY IN
7:36:50PM ENSURING THAT ANY MITIGATION THAT'S REQUIRED FOR SHELTER
7:36:54PM SPACE IS HANDLED.
7:36:56PM AND BASED ON ALL THAT, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE
7:36:59PM REZONING REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
7:37:01PM PLAN.
7:37:02PM THANK YOU.
7:37:08PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, FOR THE RECORD.
7:37:10PM THIS IS A REZONING REQUEST.
7:37:11PM IT IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING REQUEST FROM RS-60 TO RS-50 TO
7:37:15PM ALLOW FOR THE ULTIMATE CREATION OF TWO SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS.
7:37:20PM BASED ON THE RS 50 ZONING STANDARDS.
7:37:24PM THERE IS ALREADY RS-50 TO THE NORTH.
7:37:28PM ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST BAY AVENUE, THERE IS A LARGE
7:37:32PM MULTIFAMILY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH.
7:37:35PM THERE'S SOME COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND MULTIFAMILY ZONING
7:37:40PM TO THE DIRECT WEST OF THE SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD ON MacDILL
7:37:44PM AVENUE.
7:37:45PM WHENEVER WE DO THIS TYPE OF ANALYSIS, WE LOOK AT THE
7:37:49PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
7:37:52PM THIS IS AREA IS NOT CONSIDERED -- IT'S RS-50 ALREADY.
7:37:58PM THIS IS A COMMERCIAL AREA.
7:37:59PM THIS IS ALL MULTIFAMILY OR TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS.
7:38:01PM REALLY, I JUST LOOKED AT THIS IMMEDIATE AREA.
7:38:04PM OF THE TOTAL OF 36 LOTS THAT WERE IN THE STUDY AREA, 58%
7:38:07PM WERE LARGER THAN 60 FEET OR EQUAL TO OR LARGER THAN 60 FEET
7:38:15PM WIDE.
7:38:15PM OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK, 62% WERE LARGER OR EQUAL TO 60 FEET
7:38:21PM WIDE.
7:38:21PM REMAINING 38% WERE LESS THAN 60 FEET WIDE.
7:38:25PM ON THE BLOCK FACE, 25% WERE -- OR JUST ONE -- IS LARGER THAN
7:38:32PM 60 FEET IN WIDTH.
7:38:35PM AND THEN FOR THE 6200 BLOCK, 83% WERE SMALLER THAN THE
7:38:43PM 60 FEET WIDE.
7:38:44PM BASED ON ALL THOSE NUMBERS, AND IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE
7:38:47PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA, CREATING THE TWO
7:38:51PM RS-50 LOTS APPEARS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
7:38:56PM SAYING THAT, THERE IS NO SITE PLAN TO REVIEW AND THEREFORE
7:39:02PM THERE ARE NO WAIVERS.
7:39:03PM AND THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FOUND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:39:05PM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
7:39:07PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
7:39:07PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
7:39:08PM APPLICANT?
7:39:17PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:39:18PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONER FOR 6209 3rd STREET.
7:39:23PM AS STAFF POINTED OUT, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY
7:39:26PM STAFF FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
7:39:28PM IF YOU NOTICED ON THE MAP THAT MARY SHOWED YOU JUST A MINUTE
7:39:32PM AGO, THE TWO PROPERTIES IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH AND ALL OF
7:39:35PM THE PROPERTIES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS
7:39:38PM REQUESTED REZONING ARE ALL 50-FOOT LOTS, AND THE ONES

7:39:47PM PROPERTIES AND A HUGE TRACT OF LAND IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH
7:39:50PM WHICH IS ALL 50-FOOT LOTS.
7:39:52PM THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN 1922, AND MY REQUEST IS TO
7:39:58PM RESTORE THE ORIGINAL PLAT AND TO GO BACK AND BUILD TWO
7:40:01PM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUAL LOTS.
7:40:04PM THIS AREA HAS UNDERGONE A GREAT DEAL OF NEW INVESTMENT AND
7:40:09PM INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
7:40:10PM AS YOU MAY RECALL, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY
7:40:14PM REQUIREMENTS ARE THAT YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT WHERE YOU HAVE
7:40:17PM EXISTING UTILITIES FOR WATER, SEWER, TRANSPORTATION,
7:40:19PM SCHOOLS, AND WE'VE MET ALL OF THAT CRITERIA.
7:40:22PM SO WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
7:40:25PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:40:25PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
7:40:27PM ALL RIGHT.
7:40:29PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 5?

7:40:55PM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION RS-60 (RESIDENTIAL,

7:41:16PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
7:41:17PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
7:41:18PM GO TO ITEM NUMBER 6.
7:41:21PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM NUMBER 6 IS REZ 19-14, FOR THE
7:41:25PM PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 6915 EAST BROADWAY AVENUE FROM
7:41:29PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO HEAVY
7:41:32PM INDUSTRIAL.
7:41:36PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:41:38PM DAVID HEY.
7:41:39PM PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:41:40PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:41:40PM IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT FOR THIS NEXT CASE,
7:41:44PM THE SUBJECT SITE, THERE IS TRANSIT OUT THERE, SO WORKERS CAN
7:41:48PM GET TO THE SITE.
7:41:49PM HART ROUTE 8 SERVES THIS PORTION OF BROADWAY.
7:41:52PM HERE WE HAVE AN AERIAL, THE SUBJECT SITE, YOU CAN SEE SOUTH
7:41:57PM OF BROADWAY, IT'S ALMOST ALL INDUSTRIAL IN NATURE.
7:42:01PM THERE IS SOME COMMERCIAL ALONG BROADWAY AND THEN YOU GO INTO
7:42:04PM UNINCORPORATED COUNTY FURTHER OFF OF THIS PORTION OF
7:42:09PM BROADWAY.
7:42:09PM THERE'S A MIX OF USES AND STUFF IN THE COUNTY.
7:42:13PM BUT THE CITY IS PREDOMINANTLY ALL INDUSTRIAL.
7:42:16PM THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP BACKS THAT UP.
7:42:20PM ALL THIS DARK, BLACK COLOR IS THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
7:42:23PM THIS KIND OF REDDISH COLOR, THAT'S THAT TRANSITIONAL USE 24.
7:42:28PM IT ALLOWS THAT COMBINATION OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
7:42:32PM INDUSTRIAL USES.
7:42:36PM THE LAND USE IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
7:42:42PM IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THAT UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE
7:42:45PM CATEGORY, THE ZONING.
7:42:46PM THIS PORTION OF EAST BROADWAY IS DEVELOPED PRIMARILY WITH
7:42:48PM THOSE INDUSTRIAL USES, SO THE USE WOULD BE COMPARABLE AND
7:42:51PM COMPATIBLE.
7:42:54PM TAMPA'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS THE INTENSIFICATION OF
7:42:57PM ITS INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES.
7:43:00PM THE INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN THE CITY MUST BE PRESERVED AND
7:43:03PM INTENSIFIED TO STRENGTHEN TAMPA'S ROLE AS A REGIONAL
7:43:06PM ECONOMIC CENTER, REZONING THE SUBJECT SITE TO AN INDUSTRIAL
7:43:11PM HEAVY ZONING DISTRICT FURTHERS THIS POLICY DIRECTION IN THE
7:43:13PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:43:14PM APPROVING THE REQUEST WOULD STIMULATE GROWTH IN THE
7:43:17PM INDUSTRIAL SECTOR OF THE AREA AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:43:22PM COMP PLAN.
7:43:23PM BASED ON ALL THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE STAFF RECOMMENDS TO
7:43:27PM YOU THIS EVENING THAT THIS -- WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
7:43:29PM PLAN.
7:43:32PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
7:43:33PM MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:43:35PM HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:43:40PM AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL USE.
7:43:44PM HERE IS THE ZONING MAP.
7:43:45PM AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN AND THERE
7:43:49PM IS A SWATH OF COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING THAT'S CURRENTLY
7:43:53PM ALONG BROADWAY AVENUE.
7:43:54PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SPLIT BETWEEN THE NORTHERN HALF
7:43:58PM COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE AND SOUTHERN HALF IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
7:44:00PM DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER'S USE, HE
7:44:04PM WOULD LIKE THE ENTIRE PROPERTY TO BE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL SO HE
7:44:08PM CAN FULLY EXERCISE ALL OF HIS BUSINESS ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT
7:44:12PM HIS ENTIRE SITE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE COGNIZANT AND AWARE
7:44:16PM OF THE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THOSE TWO ZONING LINES AND
7:44:22PM WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN AND CANNOT OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS
7:44:25PM YARD.
7:44:26PM THE SURROUNDING AREA IS A MIX OF SOME INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL
7:44:29PM USES.
7:44:30PM THERE IS A GAS STATION OVER HERE.
7:44:32PM OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE AREA IS SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL
7:44:35PM USES.
7:44:36PM IF THIS PROPERTY WERE TO BE COMPLETELY REZONED TO COVER THE
7:44:45PM ENTIRE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT, ALL ACTIVITY WOULD
7:44:48PM HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THAT ZONING DISTRICT STANDARDS.
7:44:51PM THERE'S NO SITE PLAN TO SUBMIT AND NO WAIVERS.
7:44:54PM THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS
7:44:56PM CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
7:44:59PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
7:45:09PM >> GOOD EVENING, KEVIN REALI, 100 SOUTH ASHLEY DRIVE, HERE
7:45:13PM FOR THE APPLICATION.
7:45:14PM I HAVE A PRESENTATION TO SUBMIT.
7:45:17PM THERE ARE COPIES THERE FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:45:26PM I'LL PUT UP WHAT'S NECESSARY.
7:45:28PM THE PORTION OF MY PRESENTATION DUPLICATES WHAT WAS ALREADY
7:45:31PM PRESENTED.
7:45:32PM I'LL GO THROUGH THAT VERY QUICKLY.
7:45:34PM JUST BRIEFLY HERE, THE PROPERTY IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
7:45:39PM CITY IN THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREA.
7:45:40PM OVERVIEW OF THE GOALS HERE IS TO AVOID BIFURCATED ZONING.
7:45:46PM THIS REZONING IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO THE
7:45:50PM SOUTH AND THE NEIGHBORING USES ARE COMPATIBLE, AND THE HEAVY
7:45:55PM INDUSTRIAL USE WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:45:58PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
7:46:00PM AGAIN, THE BIFURCATED ZONING.
7:46:05PM THIS WAS ALREADY DISCUSSED BY THE STAFF.
7:46:08PM AND THEN ALSO DISCUSSED, BUT IMPORTANT HERE, THE COMP PLAN,
7:46:13PM THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP HERE SHOWS THAT THE WHOLE AREA SOUTH
7:46:18PM OF BROADWAY IS SET OUT TO BE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL BY THE
7:46:22PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:46:22PM I THINK IMPORTANT FOR THIS APPLICATION IS TO LOOK AT THE
7:46:28PM NEIGHBORING USES.
7:46:29PM THIS IS ACROSS BROADWAY TO THE NORTH.
7:46:32PM CLEARLY, VERY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AND LOTS OF OPEN STORAGE AND
7:46:37PM INDUSTRIAL USES.
7:46:39PM TO THE EAST SOME OPEN SPACE, AND THEN A COMMERCIAL GAS
7:46:46PM STATION.
7:46:46PM TO THE WEST SOME MORE INDUSTRIAL AND THEN SOME COMMERCIAL
7:46:54PM USES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF BROADWAY AND THEN HERE ON THE
7:46:57PM SOUTH SIDE OF BROADWAY, THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY IS ALSO
7:47:01PM OPEN STORAGE AND INDUSTRIAL USE.
7:47:03PM QUICKLY, THE PROPERTY ITSELF, THE AERIAL WE'VE ALREADY
7:47:11PM SHOWN, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY ITSELF, THE STACKING
7:47:15PM RIGHT NOW IS DONE TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY THERE AND
7:47:18PM LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF SPACE AVAILABLE TO THE APPLICANT TO USE
7:47:20PM THE PROPERTY.
7:47:21PM TO GET TO THE PURPOSE OF THE APPLICATION HERE IS PRIMARILY
7:47:31PM STACKING.
7:47:33PM IT IS A PALLET BUSINESS.
7:47:34PM A PORTION OF THE BUSINESS IS BROKERING PALLETS.
7:47:36PM ANOTHER PORTION IS REPAIRING OR RECYCLING OF THE PALLETS
7:47:39PM THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED.
7:47:42PM AND DEPENDING ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THE BUSINESS, THERE
7:47:44PM COULD BE A LOT OF INVENTORY ON-SITE OR MINIMAL INVENTORY.
7:47:48PM WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF INVENTORY, THE HEIGHT FOR STACKING IS
7:47:52PM LIMITED TO 60.
7:47:53PM 60 IS OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY HIGH, AND THAT LIMITS THE
7:47:56PM APPLICANT'S SPACE TO FUNCTIONALLY USE THE NORTHERN PART OF
7:48:01PM THE PROPERTY.
7:48:01PM THIS IS TRUE IN ALL ZONING DISTRICTS EXCEPT FOR HEAVY
7:48:04PM INDUSTRIAL.
7:48:06PM IN THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
7:48:09PM ALLOWS FOR HIGHER STACKING HEIGHTS DEPENDING ON SETBACKS AND
7:48:14PM BUFFERING.
7:48:14PM IT CAN BE AS HIGH AS 40 FEET, BUT TYPICALLY IT WOULD BE
7:48:18PM SOMEWHERE IN THE 10 TO 20-FOOT RANGE.
7:48:20PM JUSTIFICATION, AS STATED, THIS IS CONSISTENT AND CONTINUOUS
7:48:25PM -- OR CONTIGUOUS, AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORING USES.
7:48:28PM BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SET THIS OUT
7:48:32PM TO BE A HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREA, AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
7:48:35PM ENCOURAGES HEAVY INDUSTRIAL IN THOSE AREAS THAT THE
7:48:39PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAS SET OUT FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL.
7:48:41PM USES IN HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ARE MEANT TO BE THOSE USES THAT ARE
7:48:46PM NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PRIMARY COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONAL AND
7:48:50PM RESIDENTIAL USES, AND SINCE THE PRIMARY REASON THAT THE
7:48:53PM APPLICANT SEEKS THIS IS TO BE ABLE TO STACK, AND STACKING IS
7:48:56PM ONLY ALLOWED IN HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ZONING.
7:48:59PM THAT SEEMS TO COMPLY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
7:49:02PM THE OTHER SLIDES, THIS IS CONSISTENT AND RECOMMENDED BY
7:49:09PM STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND WE RESPECTFULLY
7:49:14PM REQUEST APPROVAL.
7:49:15PM ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
7:49:16PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
7:49:17PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6?
7:49:22PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
7:49:23PM >> SECOND.
7:49:23PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION BY MR. MIRANDA.
7:49:25PM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
7:49:26PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
7:49:28PM OPPOSED?
7:49:29PM MS. CAPIN, WOULD YOU READ ITEM NUMBER 6?
7:49:34PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: YES, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
7:49:36PM ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION,
7:49:39PM AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF
7:49:41PM 6915 EAST BROADWAY AVENUE, IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA,

7:50:02PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION BY MS. CAPIN, SECONDED BY
7:50:04PM MR. MIRANDA.
7:50:05PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE.
7:50:06PM OPPOSED?
7:50:07PM >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION CARRIED WITH SUAREZ ABSENT AT VOTE.
7:50:11PM SECOND READING AND ADOPTION TO BE HELD ON MARCH 7th, 2019
7:50:14PM AT 9:30 A.M.
7:50:16PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
7:50:17PM ITEM NUMBER 7.
7:50:18PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
7:50:21PM REZ 18-125, IT IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY AT 1120
7:50:25PM AND 1208 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD FROM CHANNEL DISTRICT 2 TO
7:50:29PM CHANNEL DISTRICT 2.
7:50:30PM MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL RETAIL OFFICE AND ALL CD-2 USES.
7:50:40PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:50:42PM DAVID HEY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:50:43PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:50:44PM WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, MORE
7:50:47PM SPECIFICALLY THE CHANNEL DISTRICT URBAN VILLAGE.
7:50:52PM THAT AREA IS WITHIN THE CITY'S CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
7:50:57PM PERIPHERY THAT ALLOWS ADDITIONAL DENSITY.
7:51:02PM EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR AND A
7:51:06PM SMALL PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH
7:51:09PM HAZARD AREA.
7:51:10PM THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE IS IN A LEVEL B EVACUATION ZONE.
7:51:15PM THE NEAREST TRANSIT IS -- THAT'S BUS AT KENNEDY AND NORTH
7:51:22PM 12th STREET.
7:51:23PM IT'S ALSO WITHIN PROXIMITY TO THE STREETCAR LINE.
7:51:27PM ON TO THE AERIAL, THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:51:33PM THIS IS KENNEDY, MERIDIAN, CHANNELSIDE DRIVE.
7:51:38PM THIS IS THE GRAND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT.
7:51:42PM THERE'S THE CROSSTOWN, UNION STATION, THE AREA WE'RE ALL
7:51:47PM FAMILIAR WITH IT.
7:51:49PM IT'S A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
7:51:52PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALL THIS
7:51:59PM KIND OF REDDISH COLOR IS THAT REGIONAL MIXED USE 100, THE
7:52:03PM MOST INTENSIVE CATEGORY OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN.
7:52:05PM THERE'S STILL SOME SCATTERED HEAVY INDUSTRIAL PARCELS ON THE
7:52:10PM NORTH SIDE OF THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.
7:52:12PM ONCE YOU CROSS THOSE TRACKS AND THE MERIDIAN AVENUE
7:52:16PM CORRIDOR, YOU GET INTO THE CBD, WHICH IS THE BROWN COLOR,
7:52:23PM AND SOME COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 UP NEAR UNION STATION.
7:52:26PM THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL IN THIS PETITION TO
7:52:32PM CONVERT 3,150 SQUARE FEET OF LOADING DOCK SPACE INTO OFFICE
7:52:37PM SPACE.
7:52:38PM THE REQUEST IS PART OF A REZONING FOR THE GRAND CENTRAL
7:52:41PM PROJECT IN WHICH IT HAS A MIX ALREADY OF RESIDENTIAL,
7:52:46PM OFFICE, THIS COMMERCIAL USES.
7:52:48PM ORIGINALLY, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GROCERY STORE ALSO
7:52:52PM WITHIN THAT DEVELOPMENT.
7:52:53PM HOWEVER, THE ANCHOR TENANT FOR THAT GROCERY STORE DID NOT
7:52:56PM LOCATE IN GRAND CENTRAL COMPLEX AS PLANNED.
7:52:59PM THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING FOR APPROVAL TO
7:53:01PM CONVERT THE LOADING DOCKS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR THAT
7:53:05PM GROCERY STORE INTO OFFICE SPACE.
7:53:08PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF CONCLUDES THAT APPROVING THE
7:53:11PM APPLICANT'S REQUEST WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MIXTURE OF
7:53:14PM USES FOUND NOT ONLY WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT, BUT WITHIN THE
7:53:18PM SURROUNDING AREA.
7:53:19PM AND BASED ON THAT, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS TO
7:53:22PM YOU THIS EVENING THAT THIS BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE
7:53:25PM TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:53:26PM THANK YOU.
7:53:33PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
7:53:34PM MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
7:53:35PM AS DAVID STATED, THIS IS THE GRAND CENTRAL EXISTING
7:53:44PM DEVELOPMENT.
7:53:45PM THE ONLY THING THAT'S PROPOSING TO BE CHANGED IS TWO OF THE
7:53:49PM LOADING DOCKS WILL BE CONVERTED INTO A LITTLE OVER 3100
7:53:54PM SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE.
7:53:56PM NOTHING ELSE IS PROPOSED TO CHANGE WITH THE SITE.
7:54:00PM IT'S CD-2.
7:54:03PM IT CAME BEFORE YOU SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
7:54:04PM IT'S BACK AGAIN.
7:54:05PM THE ONLY REASON WHY IT'S BACK BEFORE YOU TODAY IS BECAUSE
7:54:08PM THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR ONE ADDITIONAL WAIVER, BEYOND THE
7:54:12PM WAIVERS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED TO REDUCE THE TOTAL
7:54:14PM OFF-STREET LOADING SPACES FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT FROM
7:54:18PM FIVE SPACES DOWN TO THREE.
7:54:19PM THE ELIMINATION OF THE TWO LOADING SPACES WILL BE WHERE THE
7:54:24PM NEW OFFICE SUITES WILL BE.
7:54:25PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
7:54:28PM AS DAVID SAID, IT'S IN THE CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT WITH A
7:54:31PM SMATTERING OF DIFFERENT USES THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED
7:54:34PM THERE.
7:54:35PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN.
7:54:39PM EXISTING CHANNELSIDE DEVELOPMENT.
7:54:41PM THE ONLY THING THAT IS CHANGING ARE THESE TWO LOADING
7:54:44PM SPACES, WHICH THE APPLICANT WILL STATE AREN'T USED.
7:54:49PM IT WILL BE CONVERTED TO ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE.
7:54:52PM AGAIN, THE REASON WHY WE'RE BEFORE YOU IS TO GET THAT
7:54:57PM WAIVER.
7:54:57PM THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
7:55:01PM READING THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE REVISION SHEET OF THE STAFF
7:55:05PM REPORT THAT I'LL REMIND YOU TO MAKE AS PART OF YOUR MOTION.
7:55:10PM OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND
7:55:15PM THIS INCONSISTENT THROUGH TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE OF THE
7:55:18PM WAIVER TO THE LOADING BERTH GOING DOWN FROM FIVE TO THREE.
7:55:24PM OTHER THAN THAT, IF IT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE
7:55:27PM THIS AMENDMENT, AGAIN, THERE ARE REVISIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND
7:55:29PM SECOND READING.
7:55:31PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. MIRANDA.
7:55:31PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU.
7:55:32PM [MICROPHONE NOT ON]
7:55:37PM -- ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THE STORE IS NOT COMING IN, THE
7:55:39PM GROCERY STORE.
7:55:40PM THERE'S REALLY, IN ESSENCE, YES, THERE'S A CHANGE, BUT, YES,
7:55:44PM THERE'S NO CHANGE, BECAUSE THE GROCERY STORE IS NOT THERE.
7:55:47PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
7:55:48PM HOWEVER, BASED ON THE OVERALL PROJECT, FIVE ARE STILL
7:55:55PM REQUIRED.
7:55:56PM I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE APPLICANT.
7:55:57PM BUT I THINK WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS THAT THEY HAVE FIVE.
7:55:59PM THEY NEVER USED THE FIVE.
7:56:01PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND.
7:56:02PM THANK YOU.
7:56:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
7:56:03PM THE APPLICANT?
7:56:07PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:56:09PM ANDY MAYTS, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.
7:56:11PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:56:12PM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, YOU'RE EXACTLY CORRECT.
7:56:15PM THE INTENDED USE WAS HOPEFULLY A GROCERY STORE WAS GOING TO
7:56:19PM COME TO THE PARCEL.
7:56:20PM IT DID NOT.
7:56:21PM THAT IS THE BAD NEWS.
7:56:22PM THE GOOD NEWS IT IS COMING ACROSS THE STREET AND IT IS GOING
7:56:25PM IN THERE.
7:56:25PM SO AT THE TIME THERE WERE DEDICATED BAYS THAT WOULD ALLOW
7:56:29PM 18-WHEELERS, LARGE TRUCK AND HORSE-AND-TRAILER TYPE
7:56:33PM OPERATION TO GO IN AND UNLOAD.
7:56:35PM THERE ARE STILL SUFFICIENT SPACES TO ALLOW MULTIPLE MOVE-INS
7:56:40PM AND OUTS TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE SPACE.
7:56:42PM AND THOSE BAYS THAT WERE GOING TO BE USED FOR THE INTENDED
7:56:50PM GROCERY STORE DON'T ALLOW RESIDENTS TO MOVE IN AND OUT
7:56:53PM BECAUSE THERE IS STRUCTURAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE BAYS
7:56:56PM AND WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET TO, TO MOVE IN AND OUT OF
7:57:01PM UNITS.
7:57:02PM ESSENTIALLY, THE INTENDED USE CHANGE, AS A RESULT, WE HAD
7:57:04PM SPACE THERE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR THAT INTENDED
7:57:07PM USE WHICH CAN NOW NOT BE USED.
7:57:09PM SO WE'RE ASKING YOUR-ALL'S APPROVAL TO CONVERT THAT INTO
7:57:13PM ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE.
7:57:16PM WE HAD A NICE TENANT COME IN THERE AND SO THEY WANT MORE
7:57:22PM SPACE, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE.
7:57:26PM AND THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL WAIVER FROM FIVE TO THREE WHICH
7:57:28PM NECESSITATED THIS PETITION.
7:57:31PM IT'S COMPATIBLE.
7:57:34PM WE'D ASK YOUR APPROVAL.
7:57:36PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
7:57:38PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 7?
7:57:41PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
7:57:42PM >> SECOND.

7:58:48PM DEVELOPMENT FOR ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
7:58:55PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
7:58:56PM DAVID HEY WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
7:58:58PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
7:58:59PM WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT FOR THIS NEXT
7:59:03PM CASE, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE RIDGEWOOD PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:59:06PM THE CLOSEST PUBLIC TRANSIT STOP IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
7:59:10PM 250 FEET TO THE WEST ALONG WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE, AND THAT
7:59:15PM STOP IS SERVED BY HART ROUTE 15 WHICH CONNECTS THE SUBJECT
7:59:18PM SITE TO WESTSHORE AND THE EAST TAMPA AREA, AND ALSO THE
7:59:22PM NETPARK TRANSFER CENTER.
7:59:23PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE LEVEL C EVACUATION
7:59:27PM ZONE.
7:59:28PM AND THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY, PHILIPS PARK, IS
7:59:32PM LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 250 FEET WALKING DISTANCE TO THE WEST
7:59:35PM OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
7:59:36PM ON TO THE AERIAL, THIS IS THE ZOOMED OUT ONE.
7:59:41PM MARY WILL HAVE A MORE ZOOMED IN.
7:59:44PM THIS MAP, THERE IS A SLIGHT ERROR IN IT.
7:59:46PM IT'S ON ME THIS PARCEL.
7:59:48PM IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PARCEL RIGHT AT THE CORNER.
7:59:51PM THEY ARE CORRECTING THAT BACK AT THE PC.
7:59:54PM BUT TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE WEST OF THIS SUBJECT SITE, IT'S
7:59:58PM ALL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
8:00:00PM MAYBE ONE OR TWO OLDER DUPLEXES, BUT PREDOMINANTLY
8:00:04PM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
8:00:05PM THIS IS DIRECTLY SOUTH.
8:00:07PM THERE'S A CONVENIENCE STORE WITH A LITTLE SHOPPING PLAZA.
8:00:10PM THEY ARE INSTALLING GAS PUMPS AT THAT CORNER.
8:00:15PM BUT THIS IS A LITTLE NODE OF LIGHT COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY
8:00:18PM OCCURRING.
8:00:19PM ALSO TO THE SOUTH, YOU CAN SEE THE HEIGHTS PROJECT.
8:00:22PM THIS IS THE PEARL DOWN THERE AND, OF COURSE, THE RIVER TO
8:00:26PM THE WEST.
8:00:26PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AGAIN, IT'S ONLY THIS PARCEL.
8:00:33PM THAT PARCEL AND ALL THE PARCELS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH ARE
8:00:37PM ALL THAT RESIDENTIAL 10.
8:00:39PM IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IN THIS AREA,
8:00:43PM THAT'S THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35, SIMILAR TO WHAT'S FOUND
8:00:48PM REALLY TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST -- TO THE EAST OF THIS
8:00:52PM INTERSECTION.
8:00:53PM AGAIN, ALL RESIDENTIAL 10.
8:00:56PM IT GETS UP TO RESIDENTIAL 35 SOUTH OF COLUMBUS, EAST OF
8:01:01PM NORTH BOULEVARD.
8:01:02PM THEN DOWN IN THE HEIGHTS IT ACTUALLY GETS UP TO RMU 100.
8:01:07PM AND THEN THERE'S SOME RESIDENTIAL 20.
8:01:09PM THIS IS THE VILLA MADONNA SCHOOL, BY THE WAY, PUBLIC,
8:01:12PM QUASI-PUBLIC.
8:01:13PM THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT OF
8:01:22PM A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT
8:01:25PM AND FUTURE PROJECTED POPULATION.
8:01:26PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ALONG WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE, WHICH
8:01:30PM IS CLASSIFIED AS AN ARTERIAL ROADWAY.
8:01:32PM THE SITE IS ALSO ADJACENT TO THOSE COMMERCIAL USES, AS
8:01:35PM DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY.
8:01:37PM STAFF FINDS THAT THE REQUEST FOR SEMI ATTACHED MULTIFAMILY
8:01:40PM UNITS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT
8:01:43PM PATTERN.
8:01:44PM TYPICALLY, SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL USES ARE NOT
8:01:47PM PERMITTED IN AREAS DESIGNATED AS RESIDENTIAL 10, HOWEVER,
8:01:51PM LAND USE POLICY 9.3.5 ALLOWS FOR CONSIDERATION OF
8:01:57PM SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WHEN LOCATED
8:01:59PM TO THE PERIPHERY OF AN ESTABLISHED SINGLE-FAMILY
8:02:02PM NEIGHBORHOOD SIMILAR TO A SITE LIKE THIS THAT'S RIGHT NEXT
8:02:06PM TO COMMERCIAL USES.
8:02:08PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS ALSO SUPPORTIVE OF RESIDENTIAL
8:02:10PM INFILL WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT, EMPLOYMENT, AND
8:02:13PM RECREATIONAL AMENITIES.
8:02:15PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT SERVICE, AND
8:02:18PM EMPLOYMENT CENTERS DOWNTOWN AND PHILIPS PARK FOR THE
8:02:22PM RECREATION.
8:02:23PM THE PROPOSED REZONING IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
8:02:26PM LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS EXPECTED IN THIS PORTION OF
8:02:29PM THE RIDGEWOOD PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AND WILL PROVIDE FOR AN
8:02:33PM APPROPRIATE TRANSITION OF INTENSITY BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL
8:02:35PM USES AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH BOULEVARD AND WEST
8:02:38PM COLUMBUS AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DEVELOPMENT TO THE
8:02:40PM SOUTH AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
8:02:42PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
8:02:45PM FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE
8:02:48PM PROVISIONS OF THE IMAGINE 2040 TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:02:51PM THANK YOU.
8:02:57PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT
8:02:58PM COORDINATION.
8:02:59PM HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
8:03:02PM IT'S CURRENTLY IN THE RS-60 ZONING DISTRICT.
8:03:04PM THEY ARE REQUESTING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR THREE
8:03:08PM TOWNHOMES, WHICH ARE ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
8:03:11PM AS DAVID STATED, THIS IS KIND OF ON THE VERY EDGE OF THIS
8:03:15PM LARGER SUBDIVISION.
8:03:17PM THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBUS AND NORTH BOULEVARD HAS SOME
8:03:23PM RETAIL AND OFFICE USES CURRENTLY.
8:03:25PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT.
8:03:33PM THIS IS WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.
8:03:35PM THREE TOWNHOMES FACING COLUMBUS DRIVE WITH SIDEWALKS LEADING
8:03:41PM UP TO COLUMBUS AND THE REQUIRED PARKING IN THE BACK AS WELL
8:03:45PM AS WITHIN GARAGES.
8:03:46PM THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TREES ON-SITE THAT WOULD BE PRESERVED.
8:03:51PM WITH THE PD SITE PLAN, THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED,
8:03:54PM SO THEY ARE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARD CODE
8:03:57PM PROVISIONS FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
8:03:59PM THERE ARE SOME CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT
8:04:05PM ARE REQUIRED BY STAFF.
8:04:07PM I WILL MAKE ONE NOTE FOR THE RECORD ON THE REVISION PAGE,
8:04:09PM WHICH IS SHEET 9 -- I'M SORRY, PAGE 9 OF THE STAFF REPORT,
8:04:14PM THE FIRST BULLET OF TRANSPORTATION REGARDING THE CALCULATION
8:04:18PM FOR GUEST PARKING, THAT AMENDMENT NEEDS TO BE STRICKEN.
8:04:23PM THAT WAS AN ERROR IN THE REPORT, SO THAT REQUIREMENT IS NOT
8:04:26PM NEEDED AS A CHANGE.
8:04:28PM SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS APPLICATION, STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND
8:04:33PM STAYING WITH THE REVISION SHEET AS AMENDED BY MARY
8:04:36PM SAMANIEGO.
8:04:37PM OTHER THAN THAT, I KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL DISCUSS THE CASE.
8:04:42PM THERE ARE MINOR CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
8:04:45PM BUT, AGAIN, WITH NO WAIVERS, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT -- OR I'M
8:04:49PM SORRY, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THIS
8:04:52PM CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
8:04:55PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
8:04:56PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: QUICK QUESTION, CHAIR.
8:04:59PM THAT SAME PARKING REQUIREMENT IS ALSO IN BULLET NUMBER
8:05:02PM THREE.
8:05:02PM THAT SHOULD BE ALSO -- IT'S ON PAGE 2, BUT BULLET NUMBER
8:05:11PM THREE.
8:05:11PM UNDER GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
8:05:15PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE STAFF REPORT.
8:05:17PM BUT THE REVISION SHEET IS THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT THAT CONTROLS
8:05:19PM --
8:05:19PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THEM IN
8:05:21PM TWO SPOTS.
8:05:22PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, CORRECT.
8:05:23PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: ALL RIGHT.
8:05:24PM THANK YOU.
8:05:24PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
8:05:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REAL QUICK.
8:05:31PM THE PROPERTY THAT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER OF BOULEVARD
8:05:32PM AND COLUMBUS, THAT'S NOT AFFECTED OR DEMOLISHED OR ANYTHING
8:05:33PM TO DO WITH THIS --
8:05:35PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NO.
8:05:35PM [TALKING OVER ONE ANOTHER]
8:05:36PM IT'S NEXT DOOR TO IT.
8:05:40PM THANK YOU.
8:05:41PM >>FRANK REDDICK: APPLICANT?
8:05:42PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS TY
8:05:49PM MAXEY, REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT.
8:05:52PM THIS IS AN INFILL LOT, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA VERY
8:05:56PM QUICKLY.
8:05:59PM IT'S AN INFILL LOT.
8:06:09PM VERY SMALL LOT WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 10 LAND USE CATEGORY.
8:06:12PM WE'RE PROPOSING THREE ATTACHED TOWNHOME SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS.
8:06:16PM WE'VE TALKED WITH A FEW OF THE NEIGHBORS.
8:06:20PM I THINK WE HAVE THEIR FULL SUPPORT, PROBABLY JUDGING BY THE
8:06:22PM FACT THAT NO ONE ELSE IS HERE.
8:06:24PM WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
8:06:25PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
8:06:26PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
8:06:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NOT REGARDING -- DID YOU GENTLEMEN DO THE
8:06:31PM ONE ACROSS THE STREET JUST TO THE SOUTH.
8:06:34PM >> YES, THEY DID.
8:06:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT LOOKS VERY NICE.
8:06:37PM >> THANK YOU.
8:06:38PM >> THE BIG TALL THREE-STORY ONE?
8:06:42PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
8:06:42PM ALL RIGHT.
8:06:43PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 8?
8:06:51PM >> HI.
8:06:51PM MY NAME IS TONY MONK.
8:06:53PM I LIVE AT 2507 NORTH GLENWOOD.
8:06:56PM WE'RE THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST.
8:06:57PM AND I'VE ALSO -- AND I ALSO CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE
8:07:03PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:07:03PM WE DID COMMUNICATE ABOUT THE MEETING TONIGHT AND SHARED THE
8:07:07PM DOCUMENTS THAT THE DEVELOPER PROVIDED AND NONE OF OUR
8:07:09PM NEIGHBORS IN OUR ASSOCIATION, OUR GROUP ISSUED ANY COMMENTS
8:07:13PM SO THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS OR COMPLAINTS.
8:07:15PM AS THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOR, WE'RE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE
8:07:20PM DEVELOPMENT.
8:07:20PM IT'S BETTER THAN A VACANT LOT.
8:07:23PM AS AN URBAN DESIGNER, THAT'S THE BEAR TRAP YOU STEP IN.
8:07:28PM IT'S NOT GREAT URBAN DESIGN FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
8:07:31PM WE'RE NOT GOING TO CREATE VIBRANT, WALKABLE, EQUITABLE
8:07:35PM COMMUNITIES AT THREE TO FOUR PARKING SPACES PER UNIT.
8:07:38PM THERE'S JUST A LOT OF LAND GIVEN TO PARKING.
8:07:40PM IT COULD BE DENSER.
8:07:41PM CAN'T FORCE A DEVELOPER TO DO SOMETHING DENSER, AND I AGREE
8:07:46PM WITH WHAT DAVID SAID AND WITH WHAT MARY SAID.
8:07:48PM IT IS CONSISTENT AND COMPLIANT WITH THE PLANS WE HAVE IN
8:07:50PM PLACE NOW, BUT I THINK WE MIGHT NEED TO REVISIT WHEN WE HAVE
8:07:53PM THE OPPORTUNITY THOSE PLANS, PERHAPS THE CREATION OF A
8:07:59PM CITIZENS URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM THE
8:08:02PM CITIZENRY.
8:08:02PM BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE DENSER, TO GET
8:08:06PM DOWN TO ONE SPACE PER UNIT, ELIMINATE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
8:08:09PM ALTOGETHER, HAVE SOMETHING MORE WALKABLE.
8:08:13PM THE FOLKS WHO LIVE HERE WILL WANT TO WALK TO ARMATURE AND
8:08:17PM THE HEIGHTS AND ALL THAT.
8:08:18PM THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY VINIKS AND HEIGHTS AND MID-TOWN
8:08:22PM DEVELOPMENTS TO GO AROUND.
8:08:23PM WE HAVE TO START MAKING SOME HAY -- NO PUN INTENDED --
8:08:27PM [ LAUGHTER ]
8:08:27PM -- START MAKING SOME HAY ON THE SMALLER DEVELOPMENTS.
8:08:29PM HOW CAN WE MAKE MORE USE OUT OF OUR LAND?
8:08:32PM IF WE KEEP DESIGNING FOR CARS, WE'LL KEEP GETTING CARS.
8:08:35PM IF WE DESIGN FOR PEOPLE, WE'LL GET HIGHER-QUALITY
8:08:38PM NEIGHBORHOODS.
8:08:38PM AND WE'LL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES -- I SEE ON THIS SITE WHERE
8:08:41PM BEHIND IT, YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS -- YOU KNOW, THE NICER
8:08:46PM NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY'LL WANT TO HAVE A PRESENCE ON THE
8:08:48PM STREET.
8:08:49PM THERE'S ALL THIS SPACE ON THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
8:08:51PM THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN PUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SMALLER UNITS.
8:08:54PM YOU CAN REALLY MEET THE LAND USE, THE COMP PLAN OBJECTIVES
8:08:57PM OF HAVING A VARIETY OF HOUSING.
8:08:59PM SO WE'RE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE.
8:09:00PM IF WE HAVE ANY TECHNICAL CONCERNS, WE'LL TAKE THOSE UP WITH
8:09:04PM STAFF.
8:09:04PM I THINK THAT ANYTHING WE MIGHT BE CONCERNED ABOUT CAN
8:09:06PM CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSED.
8:09:07PM AND IN THE QUICK VIEW I SAW OF THE UPDATED PLAN, THEY'VE
8:09:11PM ALREADY ADDRESSED SOME OF OUR CONCERNS.
8:09:12PM WE'RE GENERALLY PLEASED.
8:09:14PM THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO US.
8:09:15PM WE'D LIKE TO SEE LITTLE MORE PROGRESS FROM OUR CITY AND FROM
8:09:18PM OUR COMP PLAN.
8:09:19PM THANK YOU.
8:09:21PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
8:09:21PM ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 8?
8:09:25PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
8:09:25PM >>FRANK REDDICK: PETITIONER?
8:09:26PM YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO RESPOND.
8:09:32PM >> YEAH, NOTHING FURTHER.
8:09:33PM WE ARE LIMITED -- FOR THE RECORD, TY MAXEY.
8:09:36PM WE ARE LIMITED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 10 LAND USE CATEGORY.
8:09:40PM THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WE CAN PUT ON THIS PROPERTY
8:09:42PM IS THREE.
8:09:43PM SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT OF OPEN SPACE ON THIS PROPERTY.
8:09:47PM WE'D CERTAINLY LOVE TO PUT MORE IF WE COULD.
8:09:50PM THREE FIT NICELY AND THREE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
8:09:53PM COMPREHENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN.

8:11:22PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
8:11:24PM DAVID HEY WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
8:11:26PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
8:11:27PM WE'RE STILL IN THAT CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, MORE
8:11:31PM SPECIFICALLY THE COURIER CITY OSCAWANA NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:11:38PM THERE'S TWO TRANSIT STOPS THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN TWO-TENTHS
8:11:50PM OF A MILE FROM THIS SUBJECT SITE.
8:11:52PM THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY IS WITHIN 1,200 FEET.
8:11:58PM IT'S HYDE PARK.
8:12:00PM THEN THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN A LEVEL C EVACUATION ZONE.
8:12:05PM ON TO THE AERIAL, HERE'S THE SUBJECT SITE.
8:12:10PM WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA.
8:12:12PM THERE'S A LOT OF TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING.
8:12:15PM THERE'S NOT MANY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS LEFT IN HERE.
8:12:20PM THIS IS THE SOHO -- POST-SOHO SQUARE.
8:12:25PM THIS IS THE WINN DIXIE DOWN ON SWANN.
8:12:27PM THIS IS HOWARD.
8:12:27PM THIS IS WESTLAND.
8:12:29PM OF COURSE, THIS IS THE SELMON.
8:12:31PM WE HAVE ARMENIA FURTHER TO THE WEST.
8:12:34PM AND MARY WILL HAVE PROBABLY A BLOWUP OF THAT.
8:12:40PM HERE WE HAVE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
8:12:41PM THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALL OF THESE PROPERTIES IN THE ZONE OF
8:12:46PM RESIDENTIAL 35.
8:12:47PM IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST, PARCELS FRONTING ALONG HOWARD
8:12:51PM AVENUE ARE THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
8:12:53PM THE BRIGHT RED IS THE CC 35.
8:12:56PM AND THEN THE GREEN IS THE PUBLIC RECREATION OPEN SPACE.
8:13:01PM THE YELLOW, OF COURSE, IS REZ-6.
8:13:05PM THEN YOU ALSO GET A POCKET OF RES-50 AT THE OTHER POST
8:13:10PM APARTMENTS, OVER NEAR THE SELMON CROSSTOWN.
8:13:13PM THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS AN AREA WITH A MIXTURE OF HOUSING
8:13:17PM TYPES AND STYLES.
8:13:18PM THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT AND
8:13:20PM RETENTION OF A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
8:13:24PM ITS PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS.
8:13:25PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO ENCOURAGES THAT THE DESIGN AND
8:13:29PM DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND MULTIFAMILY
8:13:33PM RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS HAVE FRONT DOORS THAT ARE ORIENTED TO
8:13:36PM A NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK OR STREET.
8:13:39PM ON THE SITE PLAN THAT PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED, UNIT TWO
8:13:44PM AND THREE HAVE DOORS ON THE SIDE OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE.
8:13:48PM TYPICALLY WHEN PLACING UNITS' ENTRANCES ON THE SIDE OF THE
8:13:51PM STRUCTURE, A SIDEWALK IS PROVIDED, WHICH CONNECTS TO THE
8:13:54PM PUBLIC SIDEWALK ALONG AN ADJACENT PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
8:13:57PM THE SIDEWALK PROVIDED ON THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN DOES NOT
8:14:01PM CONNECT TO THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK, INSTEAD CONNECTING TO UNIT
8:14:06PM ONE AND FOUR'S DRIVEWAY.
8:14:07PM TO COMPLY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY, PLANNING
8:14:11PM COMMISSION STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE INTERNAL SIDEWALK
8:14:13PM BE ADJUSTED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING TO CONNECT TO
8:14:17PM THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK ALONG SOUTH WESTLAND AVENUE AND NOT TO
8:14:22PM THE OTHER UNITS' DRIVEWAYS.
8:14:23PM THE EXISTING DENSITY WITH ONE RESIDENTIAL UNIT ON THE
8:14:26PM SUBJECT SITE IS 5.5 UNITS PER ACRE.
8:14:30PM IF THE REZONING IS APPROVED, THE APPLICANT COULD BUILD A
8:14:33PM MAXIMUM OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON-SITE, AND THE PROPOSED
8:14:36PM DENSITY WOULD INCREASE TO 22.2 UNITS PER ACRE.
8:14:40PM THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND
8:14:43PM USE DESIGNATION OF RESIDENTIAL 35, WHICH ALLOWS AN OVERALL
8:14:48PM DENSITY OF UP TO 35 UNITS PER ACRE.
8:14:50PM IT IS ALSO COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
8:14:53PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
8:14:53PM CURRENTLY, PARCELS ADJACENT TO SOUTH WESTLAND AVENUE BETWEEN
8:14:58PM WEST HORATIO STREET AND WEST DELAND STREET ARE BUILT AT AN
8:15:02PM OVERALL DENSITY OF 30.9 UNITS PER ACRE.
8:15:05PM THE PROPOSED FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL UNITS
8:15:11PM WOULD BE OF A SIMILAR FORM, HEIGHT, AND SCALE OF THE
8:15:13PM SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL USES AND WOULD NOT ALTER THE
8:15:15PM CHARACTER OR PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THIS PORTION OF
8:15:18PM THE COURIER CITY OSCAWANA NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:15:21PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
8:15:23PM FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE
8:15:26PM PROVISIONS OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH THE NOTE
8:15:29PM REGARDING THE SIDEWALK ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND

8:15:33PM THANK YOU.
8:15:38PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT
8:15:39PM COORDINATION.
8:15:40PM HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
8:15:42PM IT IS IN GREEN.
8:15:44PM WE'RE IN THE COURIER OSCAWANA AREA.
8:15:47PM THE EXISTING ZONING IS RM-16.
8:15:51PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO DEVELOP FOUR
8:15:54PM TOWNHOME UNITS.
8:15:54PM AS YOU CAN SEE, I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR, THIS AREA
8:15:58PM HAS SEEN A SERIES OF REZONINGS TO CONVERT THE HISTORIC
8:16:04PM SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD OVER TO ALLOW FOR TOWNHOME AND
8:16:06PM APARTMENT DEVELOPMENTS.
8:16:07PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.
8:16:14PM TWO OF THE UNITS WILL FACE WESTLAND, THE OTHER TWO WILL FACE
8:16:20PM THE REQUIRED IMPROVED ALLEYWAY.
8:16:24PM WE'VE SEEN A SIMILAR LAYOUT FROM THIS APPLICANT BEFORE.
8:16:31PM THE ONLY WAIVER THAT'S BEING --
8:16:34PM [ NO ENCODER ]
8:17:06PM [ NO ENCODER ]
8:17:07PM -- BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, THEY SHOW A SIDEWALK
8:17:10PM CONNECTION IN THIS AREA AS WELL AS IN THIS AREA.
8:17:13PM TO CONNECT THE FRONT DOORS ALL THE WAY TO A PUBLIC SIDEWALK
8:17:20PM WITHOUT HAVING TO TRAVERSE THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S DRIVEWAY.
8:17:24PM THAT'S ALREADY BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE REVISION SHEET.
8:17:26PM OTHER REVISIONS ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TECHNICAL CALCULATIONS
8:17:33PM FROM LAND DEVELOPMENT.
8:17:34PM ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND
8:17:38PM DEVELOPMENT CODE AND HAD NO FURTHER REVISIONS.
8:17:40PM DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME AT THIS TIME?
8:17:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: APPLICANT?

8:19:00PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
8:19:00PM WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 10.
8:19:03PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
8:19:05PM IT'S MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:19:07PM REZ 19-06 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3625 WEST AZEELE
8:19:11PM STREET FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
8:19:13PM FOR A MEDICAL OFFICE AND ALL RO-1 USES.
8:19:21PM >>DAVID HEY: GOING TO KEEP, COUNCIL MEMBERS, DAVID HEY AGAIN
8:19:24PM WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
8:19:25PM OUR LAST CASE, WE END UP IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
8:19:30PM DISTRICT, MORE SPECIFICALLY THE BON AIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:19:33PM THE SUBJECT SITE, THERE IS PUBLIC TRANSIT WITHIN THE AREA.
8:19:43PM HART ROUTES 36 SERVES THE AREA ON SOUTH DALE MABRY AND THE
8:19:47PM SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN A LEVEL C EVACUATION ZONE.
8:19:51PM ON TO THE AERIAL, HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
8:19:58PM THIS IS AZEELE, AND HERE'S HIMES.
8:20:01PM IT'S WEST OF HIMES.
8:20:02PM IT'S HARD TO SEE WITH THIS AERIAL, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
8:20:08PM SMALL LITTLE OFFICES ALONG THIS STRETCH OF AZEELE.
8:20:12PM AND THEN RIGHT BEHIND THEM, THERE'S SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED,
8:20:14PM BOTH TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
8:20:16PM THIS IS DALE MABRY.
8:20:17PM THIS IS THE LIFESTYLE FITNESS CENTER HERE WITH THE BIG ROOF.
8:20:22PM BUT WE ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OUT
8:20:24PM HERE.
8:20:27PM FURTHER TO THE EAST, TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF AZEELE, IT'S A LOT
8:20:32PM OF MULTIFAMILY WHILE TO THE NORTH IT'S ALL SINGLE-FAMILY
8:20:36PM UNTIL YOU GET TO HENDERSON BOULEVARD TO THE EAST.
8:20:39PM ON TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE
8:20:46PM AND ALL THE PARCELS FRONTING THIS PORTION OF AZEELE ARE ALL
8:20:49PM THAT RESIDENTIAL 20, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ON EITHER
8:20:53PM SIDE IT GOES DOWN TO THE RESIDENTIAL 10.
8:20:56PM IT LEADS OUT TO THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35 FOUND ALONG IN
8:21:00PM THIS LAVENDER COLOR OUT ON SOUTH DALE MABRY.
8:21:03PM AND THEN IF YOU CONTINUE FURTHER EAST DOWN AZEELE, THE
8:21:07PM MULTIFAMILY IN THIS BROWN IS RES-35, AND AGAIN MORE
8:21:13PM COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 OUT ON HENDERSON AVENUE.
8:21:17PM KENNEDY IS FURTHER TO THE NORTH WITH THE UMU-60.
8:21:20PM THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL THROUGH THIS REZONING
8:21:25PM PETITION TO MODIFY A VACANT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING TO ALLOW
8:21:28PM FOR MEDICAL BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICE UNDER RO-1 USES
8:21:36PM IN THE BUILDING.
8:21:36PM THE PROPOSED USES IN THE BUILDING WOULD NOT HAVE ANY
8:21:39PM NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON EXISTING RESIDENTIAL USES ADJACENT TO
8:21:43PM THE SITE.
8:21:44PM ADDITIONALLY, THE MEDICAL OFFICE REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT
8:21:49PM IN THE BUILDING IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE USES
8:21:52PM AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ALONG THIS PORTION OF WEST AZEELE
8:21:56PM STREET.
8:21:58PM AND SINCE IT IS IN R-20, THE SUBJECT SITE DOES MEET
8:22:03PM COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA FOR NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
8:22:09PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
8:22:11PM FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE
8:22:13PM PROVISIONS OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:22:14PM THANK YOU.
8:22:18PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
8:22:19PM MARY SAMANIEGO, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
8:22:22PM BEFORE I GET STARTED, I HAVE AN AMENDED STAFF REPORT.
8:22:28PM HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.
8:22:32PM I'LL EXPLAIN IT.
8:22:37PM IT'S FINE.
8:22:39PM I'LL EXPLAIN IT.
8:22:40PM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY RO-1 ON WEST AZEELE
8:22:51PM STREET.
8:22:52PM IT'S A BLOCK OFF OF SOUTH STERLING AVENUE.
8:22:55PM AS DAVID SAID, THERE'S A KIND OF SMATTERING OF SMALL OFFICE
8:22:59PM BUILDINGS THAT ARE KIND OF RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER AND
8:23:02PM SCALE.
8:23:02PM THE SUBJECT -- THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ALL RO-1 USES
8:23:08PM INCLUDING MEDICAL OFFICE.
8:23:09PM HERE IS THE -- NOTHING IS CHANGING ON THE SITE PLAN BASED ON
8:23:17PM THE AMENDED STAFF REPORT.
8:23:21PM THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A TOTAL BUILDING TO ALLOW, AGAIN,
8:23:25PM FOR ALL USES, 8100 SQUARE FEET TOTAL.
8:23:30PM THE BUILDING IS HERE WITH SOME PARKING UNDERNEATH IT.
8:23:34PM AND THEN THE REMAINING PARKING IS SURFACE PARKING.
8:23:37PM HERE'S A BUILDING ELEVATION.
8:23:42PM SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BUILDING AT DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS AND
8:23:48PM THEN THERE WOULD BE SOME PARKING UNDERNEATH IT, AS SHOWN
8:23:52PM HERE.
8:23:53PM AS FAR AS BUFFERS AND WAIVERS, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER
8:23:59PM TO THE NORTH.
8:24:01PM BUFFER FROM 15 FEET WITH SIX-FOOT HIGH WALL TO 6 FEET WITH A
8:24:05PM 7-FOOT HIGH VINYL FENCE.
8:24:07PM SIMILARLY, ON THE EAST SIDE, THEY ARE ASKING FOR INSTEAD OF
8:24:13PM 15-FOOT -- I'M SORRY, 15-FOOT BUFFER WITH A 6-FOOT-HIGH
8:24:18PM WALL, THEY ARE ASKING FOR FIVE FOOT BUFFER WITH SIX FOOT
8:24:21PM HIGH VINYL FENCE.
8:24:22PM STAFF THOUGHT THAT WAS APPROPRIATE.
8:24:23PM AS FAR AS THE CHANGES, WHEN THE STAFF REPORT WENT OUT, THE
8:24:29PM APPLICANT WAS PROPOSING THE ENTIRE SITE WAS TO BE ALLOWED
8:24:32PM FOR CONSIDERATION FOR MEDICAL OFFICE.
8:24:35PM THIS RESULTED IN A 31% PARKING REDUCTION, WHICH STAFF, BEING
8:24:41PM LAND DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION BOTH FOUND INCONSISTENT.
8:24:44PM AFTER THE STAFF REPORT CAME OUT, THE APPLICANT APPROACHED
8:24:49PM STAFF AND SAID, WHAT IF WE REDUCED THE PERCENTAGE OF MEDICAL
8:24:54PM OFFICE IN THE BUILDING TO 50%?
8:24:56PM THAT IS REFLECTED IN THIS AMENDED STAFF REPORT.
8:24:59PM A MAXIMUM OF 50% OF THE BUILDING CAN BE USED FOR MEDICAL
8:25:03PM OFFICE AND THE REMAINING 50% WOULD BE FOR BUSINESS
8:25:05PM PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
8:25:06PM THIS RESULTS IN INSTEAD OF A 31% PARKING REDUCTION WAIVER
8:25:10PM DOWN TO ONLY AN 8% PARKING REDUCTION WAIVER, WHICH IN
8:25:14PM PRACTICAL TERMS THEY ARE REQUIRED 37 SPOTS.
8:25:16PM THEY WOULD BE WAIVING IT DOWN TO 34.
8:25:19PM STAFF STILL HAS AN OBJECTION -- OR I DON'T WANT TO SAY
8:25:24PM OBJECTION -- INCONSISTENCY TO THE PARKING REDUCTION OVERALL,
8:25:26PM BUT OBVIOUSLY 8% REDUCTION IS MORE CONSISTENT THAN A 31%
8:25:31PM REDUCTION.
8:25:32PM OTHER WAIVERS AS OPPOSED TO A 24-FOOT DRIVE AISLE WIDTH ARE
8:25:38PM PROPOSING 22 FEET.
8:25:40PM AND A BACKUP DEPTH, ONE OF THE LOCATIONS, INSTEAD OF
8:25:44PM SIX-FOOT BACKUP, THEY ARE ONLY PROVIDING A FIVE.
8:25:48PM I KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL GO THROUGH THE PROPOSAL IN MORE
8:25:53PM DETAIL.
8:25:54PM IF THIS IS APPROVED THERE ARE CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND
8:25:57PM SECOND READING AS REFLECTED IN THE AMENDED STAFF REPORT AND
8:25:59PM THE AMENDED REVISION SHEET FROM LAND DEVELOPMENT AND NATURAL
8:26:10PM RESOURCES.
8:26:10PM SO BASICALLY OVERALL, THE PROJECT SEEMS CONSISTENT HOWEVER
8:26:17PM BECAUSE OF THE TECHNICAL WAIVER TO PARKING IN ASSOCIATION
8:26:22PM WITH THE MEDICAL OFFICE USE, LAND DEVELOPMENT AND
8:26:25PM TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT.
8:26:28PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
8:26:31PM >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ANY QUESTIONS?
8:26:32PM OKAY.
8:26:32PM THANK YOU.
8:26:32PM >>FRANK REDDICK: PETITIONER?
8:26:42PM >> ROTH SCHULLER.
8:26:44PM I HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN.
8:26:45PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYBODY ELSE WITH YOU NOT SWORN?
8:26:50PM [OATH ADMINISTERED]
8:26:55PM >> RALPH SCHULLER, 1719 NORTH HOWARD.
8:26:59PM I AM THE -- WE ARE THE LEAD AUTHORIZED AGENTS.
8:27:03PM IN DRC, WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS, AND THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF
8:27:11PM GOT CONFUSED ON WHAT TO ASK FOR ON WHAT WE WANTED TO PROVIDE
8:27:17PM IN THE WAY OF PARKING OR THE USE.
8:27:19PM THE PRIMARY USE IS GOING TO BE FOR MR. VALIENTE, HIS OFFICE
8:27:26PM ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
8:27:27PM HE IS AN ACCOUNTANT.
8:27:32PM THERE WILL BE NO MEDICAL ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
8:27:34PM THE SECOND FLOOR IS VACANT, CURRENTLY.
8:27:37PM IT'S GOING TO BE LEASED.
8:27:38PM AND WE WANT TO HAVE THE OPTION TO PUT MEDICAL THERE BUT
8:27:41PM REALLY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO GO THERE.
8:27:43PM WE THINK WE HAVE SUFFICIENT PARKING TO ALLOW THAT.
8:27:48PM GOING FROM 37 REQUIRED TO 34 IS WHAT WE PROVIDE.
8:27:50PM I WANT TO SHOW YOU -- THIS IS A RENDERING OF WHAT WE'RE
8:28:03PM GOING TO PROPOSE.
8:28:04PM AGAIN, THE FIRST FLOOR IS REALLY JUST PARKING.
8:28:09PM VERY, VERY SMALL LOBBY IN THE CORNER HERE, AND THEN THE
8:28:13PM ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR WOULD BE CURRENTLY AN UNKNOWN USE.
8:28:17PM THE THIRD FLOOR IS GOING TO BE MR. VALIENTE'S OFFICE.
8:28:21PM PROFESSIONAL OFFICE SPACE.
8:28:25PM WE THINK WE HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE PROJECT.
8:28:26PM WE THINK IT FITS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE
8:28:31PM NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK AZEELE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO
8:28:37PM MATURE INTO A PROFESSIONAL OFFICE CORRIDOR, AND WE THINK
8:28:40PM THIS WOULD BE A GREAT CONTRIBUTING PARK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:28:44PM I'LL TAKE QUESTIONS.
8:28:45PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
8:28:46PM ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
8:28:47PM MR. MANISCALCO.
8:28:48PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THIS BEING BUILT RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO
8:28:50PM THE BEAUTY SALON?
8:28:52PM >> YES, YES.
8:28:53PM WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE OWNERS HERE TODAY.
8:28:58PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

8:30:43PM AND MY NAME IS ROBERT GANDARILLA.
8:30:47PM WE ARE THE OWNERS OF CR LA MANSION RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
8:30:50PM WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE THIS BUILDING GOING UP.
8:30:53PM IT'S GOING TO ADD VALUE AND AESTHETICALLY GOING TO RAISE THE
8:30:58PM LOOK OF AZEELE.
8:30:59PM THERE ARE OTHER BUILDINGS ON AZEELE AS WELL THAT I THINK
8:31:03PM HAVE FRESHENED UP OUR -- THE LOOK OF IT, AND I FEEL IT'S
8:31:09PM GOING TO BE A VALUABLE ASSET TO OUR PROPERTY AS WELL.
8:31:15PM >> WE BOTH THINK IT WILL BE A WONDERFUL THING FOR OUR
8:31:19PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
8:31:19PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
