5:07:05PM WE HAVE THREE PLAN AMENDMENTS TONIGHT.
5:07:08PM TWO ARE TRANSMITTAL AND ONE IS JUST A REGULAR PUBLIC
5:07:13PM HEARING.
5:07:13PM THE FIRST ONE TONIGHT IS PLAN AMENDMENT 18-16.
5:07:16PM AGAIN, MY NAME IS DAVID HEY WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION
5:07:19PM STAFF.
5:07:19PM THIS PLAN AMENDMENT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA
5:07:24PM PLANNING DISTRICT.
5:07:25PM IT IS JUST SOUTH OF THE MAIN UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA CAMPUS.
5:07:32PM THEY HAVE ACQUIRED PROPERTY ALONG KENNEDY THAT WE'LL BE
5:07:37PM SHOWING YOU SHORTLY.
5:07:37PM HERE IS THAT AERIAL.
5:07:40PM AGAIN, HERE IS THE MAIN CAMPUS.
5:07:44PM THIS IS KENNEDY COMING IN FROM DOWNTOWN AND WHERE IT DOES
5:07:47PM THE CURVE AT GRAND CENTRAL AND THEN GOES DOWN FURTHER WEST
5:07:51PM HEADING OUT TOWARD WESTSHORE.
5:07:53PM YOU'VE GOT -- THESE ARE THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT ARE AT THE
5:07:57PM BACK OF THE UNIVERSITY.
5:07:58PM THIS IS NORTH BOULEVARD RUNNING UP THROUGH THE CENTER, AND
5:08:02PM THEN CASS IS UP AT THE NORTHERN PART.
5:08:05PM THE RED PARCELS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE UNIVERSITY OVER A
5:08:11PM YEAR, AND THEY ARE BRINGING IN TO UNIFY IT UNDER A
5:08:14PM PUBLIC/QUASI-PUBLIC LAND USE.
5:08:16PM IT IS PRIVATELY INITIATED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
5:08:19PM IT IS A REGULAR AMENDMENT, SO IT DOES NEED TO BE TRANSMITTED
5:08:23PM UP TO THE STATE.
5:08:24PM IT IS -- THE ACCUMULATED PARCELS EQUAL 15.77 ACRES.
5:08:29PM THERE'S THREE LAND USE CATEGORIES, REGIONAL MIXED USE 100,
5:08:32PM THE URBAN MIXED USE 60 AND THERE'S SOME RECREATION OPEN
5:08:36PM SPACE ON THERE.
5:08:37PM AGAIN, THEY ARE LOOKING AT GOING TO THAT PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC.
5:08:40PM WE'LL JUST TAKE SOME QUICK PHOTOS AROUND THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:08:45PM THIS IS THE CORNER OF NORTH WILLOW AVENUE AND WEST KENNEDY
5:08:48PM BOULEVARD.
5:08:49PM KENNEDY BOULEVARD IS HERE ON THE RIGHT.
5:08:50PM THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND WHERE WILLOW MEETS RIGHT OFF THE
5:08:55PM PICTURE TO THE LEFT.
5:08:56PM HERE WE'RE ON WILLOW AVENUE FACING THE MAIN CAMPUS TOWARD
5:09:03PM THE EAST.
5:09:04PM KENNEDY WOULD BE OFF FRAME TO THE RIGHT.
5:09:06PM YOU COULD SEE THE YOU -- SEE THE LIGHTS OF THE LACROSSE
5:09:11PM FIELD AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS ARE RIGHT BEHIND THE PARCEL
5:09:14PM HERE.
5:09:14PM HERE WE'RE MOVING UP WILLOW.
5:09:15PM YOU CAN SEE WE'RE LOOKING EAST ACROSS, AGAIN, THOSE RAILROAD
5:09:19PM TRACKS TOWARD THE LACROSSE FIELD.
5:09:21PM THIS PARCEL IS PART OF THAT PLAN AMENDMENT.
5:09:23PM THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE PARCELS THAT
5:09:26PM THEY'VE ACQUIRED.
5:09:27PM THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF WEST NORTH A STREET AND NORTH
5:09:29PM EDISON AVENUE.
5:09:30PM HERE WE HAVE THE PARKING LOT AT NORTH BOULEVARD AND WEST
5:09:35PM KENNEDY THAT THEY'VE RECENTLY COMPLETED A COUPLE OF YEARS
5:09:39PM AGO.
5:09:39PM HERE IS THE EDISON BUILDING.
5:09:41PM THIS IS NORTH BOULEVARD.
5:09:42PM AGAIN, THE MAIN PART OF THE CAMPUS IS OFF ON THE RIGHT
5:09:46PM THERE.
5:09:47PM HERE WE HAVE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
5:09:49PM YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE HAS THOSE THREE FUTURE LAND USE
5:09:53PM CATEGORIES.
5:09:54PM THE REDDISH IS THAT REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
5:09:57PM THAT'S THE MOST INTENSIVE OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN.
5:10:00PM THE PINK IS THAT URBAN MIXED USE 60, AND THEN THERE'S THAT
5:10:04PM RECREATION OPEN SPACE PARCEL.
5:10:07PM AGAIN, THIS IS KENNEDY, WILLOW, NORTH BOULEVARD GOING
5:10:11PM THROUGH THE CENTER THERE.
5:10:12PM HERE'S THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IF THIS PLAN AMENDMENT IS
5:10:18PM FINALLY ADOPTED.
5:10:19PM SEE ALL THE PARCELS ARE TO THE BLUE COLOR, WHICH IS THAT
5:10:23PM PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC LAND USE CATEGORY.
5:10:24PM OVERALL, THE EXISTING MAXIMUM DENSITY THAT COULD BE
5:10:31PM CONSIDERED FOR THOSE PARCELS IS 1,073 UNITS OR 2,154,000
5:10:39PM SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL.
5:10:40PM UNDER THE PUBLIC QUASI-PUBLIC THERE IS NO MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA
5:10:46PM RATIO.
5:10:46PM IT'S GUIDED BY COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING
5:10:48PM DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, SO ANY REZONINGS THAT WOULD COME IN WE
5:10:52PM WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT EXISTING PATTERN AND THAT -- THE
5:10:55PM NEW PATTERN WOULD NEED TO MIMIC THE EXISTING.
5:10:58PM AND AGAIN, THIS DOES REPRESENT THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORY FOR
5:11:04PM CHURCHES AND HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, AND THE UNIVERSITY WOULD
5:11:08PM FIT UNDER THAT CATEGORY.
5:11:09PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES
5:11:16PM SUPPORTING OUR PUBLIC USES, INCLUDING COLLEGES AND
5:11:19PM UNIVERSITIES.
5:11:21PM IT DOES RECOGNIZE THAT THE CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT THAT
5:11:24PM THE UNIVERSITY IS IN, IS OUR MAIN GROWTH AREA, AND ALSO MAIN
5:11:30PM AREA FOR INSTITUTIONAL USES.
5:11:38PM AND THERE ARE POLICIES WITHIN THE COMP PLAN THAT TALK ABOUT
5:11:42PM THAT THESE USES NEED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING
5:11:45PM NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID DEEM IT
5:11:48PM CONSISTENT.
5:11:49PM SO THEREFORE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO YOU TONIGHT IS TO FIND
5:11:53PM 18-16 CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:11:55PM >>HARRY COHEN: CAN I JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION?
5:11:57PM ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING NUMBER 3 RIGHT NOW?
5:12:01PM >>DAVID HEY: OH, I'M SORRY.
5:12:03PM YES.
5:12:03PM >>HARRY COHEN: JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THEN WE'LL COME BACK
5:12:07PM TO NUMBER 2?
5:12:08PM >>DAVID HEY: YES, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
5:12:10PM I WAS SO USED TO DOING THEM IN NUMERICAL ORDER.
5:12:13PM THIS IS 18-16, NUMBER 3.
5:12:16PM SORRY ABOUT THAT.
5:12:18PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: 2 COMES BEFORE 3.
5:12:20PM JUST KIDDING YOU.
5:12:21PM >>DAVID HEY: NUMBER 3.
5:12:22PM 18-16, AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO THE FILL.
5:12:27PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THE WRONG AMENDMENT.
5:12:30PM [ LAUGHTER ]
5:12:30PM THERE YOU GO.
5:12:33PM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
5:12:35PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
5:12:37PM ALL RIGHT.
5:12:42PM WE'LL GO TO THE PUBLIC.
5:12:48PM >> GOOD EVENING, MORRIS MASSEY WITH HILL WARD HENDERSON, 101
5:12:51PM EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, SUITE 3700, HERE IN TAMPA ON BEHALF
5:12:54PM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA.
5:12:56PM MR. HEY DESCRIBED THE PURPOSE OF THE NUMBER THREE COMP PLAN
5:13:01PM AMENDMENT.
5:13:01PM MOST OF THE CAMPUS IS ALREADY PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC.
5:13:05PM HAS THAT FUTURE LAND USE.
5:13:06PM WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THE REMAINDER OF THE CAMPUS, PORTIONS
5:13:10PM OF WHICH HAVE BEEN OWNED BY THE UNIVERSITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS
5:13:12PM UNDER THE SAME FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY TO HELP WITH THE
5:13:14PM REDEVELOPMENT OF THE AREAS ON THE CAMPUS.
5:13:17PM I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:13:20PM ONE LAST THING, ONE OF THE PARCELS INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE
5:13:24PM LAND USE AMENDMENT IS THE FORMER LOCATION OF THE BARKSDALE
5:13:27PM CENTER.
5:13:28PM I SPOKE TO YOU ALL ABOUT THAT WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE
5:13:32PM DEDICATED PARKS ORDINANCE LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE.
5:13:34PM AND I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A MOTION MADE BY YOU ALL TO ASK
5:13:39PM LEGAL TO CORRECT THE ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE MOVE TO LINCOLN
5:13:45PM AVENUE.
5:13:46PM THE ACTION MINUTES THAT CAME OUT, THERE WAS NO SUCH MOTION
5:13:50PM SHOWN ON THE ACTION AGENDA.
5:13:52PM IF YOU COULD PLEASE CLARIFY THAT AND MAKE THAT MOTION
5:13:55PM TONIGHT, I'D APPRECIATE IT.
5:13:56PM I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH REBECCA KERT IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
5:13:58PM ALREADY ON THAT.
5:13:59PM >>HARRY COHEN: WHAT DO YOU WANT THE MOTION TO SAY?
5:14:02PM >> CORRECT THE ADDRESS OF THE BARKSDALE CENTER.
5:14:04PM THE FORM LOCATION OF THE BARKSDALE CENTER BACK BEFORE 1999
5:14:07PM WAS ON THE UT CAMPUS BASICALLY.
5:14:10PM NOW IT'S BEEN MOVED TO LINCOLN AVENUE.
5:14:14PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN FURTHER CLARIFY, MR. CHAIRMAN AND
5:14:17PM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, CURRENTLY, BECAUSE THAT ADDRESS HAS NOT
5:14:20PM BEEN CHANGED, THE BARKSDALE ADDRESS WITH THE ADDRESS THAT IS
5:14:25PM BEFORE COUNCIL TODAY STILL SHOWS IN YOUR ORDINANCES SECTION
5:14:29PM 60-91 YOUR LIST OF DEDICATED PARKS SO THAT NEEDS TO BE
5:14:32PM CORRECTED.
5:14:33PM >> THAT'S THE MOTION I WOULD ASK IS THAT YOU ASK LEGAL TO
5:14:35PM PREPARE AN ORDINANCE CORRECTING THE ADDRESS OF THE BARKSDALE
5:14:39PM CENTER.
5:14:40PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS?
5:14:40PM ALL RIGHT.
5:14:43PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 3?
5:14:48PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
5:14:51PM >>HARRY COHEN: SECOND.
5:14:51PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION FROM MR. MIRANDA.
5:14:52PM SECONDED BY MR. COHEN.
5:14:53PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
5:14:55PM OPPOSED?
5:14:56PM ALL RIGHT.
5:14:57PM DO YOU NEED TO DO A MOTION?
5:14:58PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH THE BARKSDALE CENTER
5:15:01PM BEING CORRECTED, HOPEFULLY WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION I
5:15:03PM BELIEVE TO CORRECT THE BARKSDALE CENTER FIRST.
5:15:07PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, I'VE ALSO BEEN REMINDED THIS IS A
5:15:09PM TRANSMITTAL PUBLIC HEARING.
5:15:11PM THE MOTION WOULD BE TO TRANSMIT IT.
5:15:12PM CERTAINLY BY THE TIME IT COMES BACK TO CITY COUNCIL THEN ON
5:15:15PM YOUR MOTION IT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE PREPARED.
5:15:17PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO TRANSMIT.
5:15:18PM >> SECOND.
5:15:18PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MOTION BY MR. MIRANDA.
5:15:20PM SECONDED BY MR. COHEN.
5:15:21PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
5:15:23PM OPPOSED?
5:15:23PM ALL RIGHT.
5:15:25PM THE MOTION CARRIED.
5:15:27PM >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION CARRIED WITH SUAREZ BEING ABSENT AT
5:15:30PM VOTE.
5:15:32PM >>HARRY COHEN: DO WE NEED A SECOND MOTION -- OKAY.
5:15:34PM GO AHEAD.
5:15:34PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WAS GOING TO ASK THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
5:15:37PM TO DRAFT A PROPER DOCUMENT TO MAKE SURE THE BARKSDALE CENTER
5:15:42PM REFLECTS THE CURRENT ADDRESS, WHICH IS JUST SOMEWHERE IN THE
5:15:47PM SOUTHERN AREA OF MacFARLANE PARK ON LINCOLN AVENUE, AND
5:15:51PM THAT THIS -- THIS WAS THE BARKSDALE CENTER, ONE OF THE
5:15:54PM FAMOUS GROUPS OF BANDS THERE, THE FABULOUS ROCKERS.
5:15:58PM >>HARRY COHEN: SECOND.
5:15:58PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION BY MR. MIRANDA.
5:16:01PM SECONDED BY MR. COHEN.
5:16:02PM ANY DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION?
5:16:03PM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
5:16:04PM OPPOSED?
5:16:05PM ALL RIGHT.
5:16:06PM GO TO ITEM NUMBER 2.
5:16:10PM >>DAVID HEY: BACK TO TWO.
5:16:12PM SORRY ABOUT THAT.
5:16:13PM AGAIN, DAVID HEY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
5:16:15PM THE NEXT ITEM FOR YOUR REVIEW IS 18-18, A TEXT AMENDMENT.
5:16:20PM THIS IS ANOTHER TRANSMITTAL HEARING.
5:16:22PM THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE FILL POLICY.
5:16:26PM A LITTLE BACKGROUND, THIS WAS PUBLICLY INITIATED BY YOU ALL
5:16:28PM AT TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
5:16:30PM YOUR MOTION DIRECTED THE STAFF TO PROVIDE POLICY LANGUAGE ON
5:16:35PM FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES REQUESTED ON WATER.
5:16:38PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE
5:16:42PM STAFF OF EPC, THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, THE PORT AUTHORITY, AND
5:16:47PM LAND DEVELOPMENT TO WORK ON THIS LANGUAGE THAT WE BRING
5:16:52PM FORWARD THIS EVENING.
5:16:53PM THERE ARE A FEW AREAS THAT IT REALLY FOCUSES ON.
5:16:59PM IT LIMITS THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS ON SURFACE WATERS
5:17:04PM TO THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE ESA LAND USE CATEGORY
5:17:09PM UNLESS MEETING CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, THINGS SUCH AS PUBLIC
5:17:13PM USES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
5:17:16PM IT PROHIBITS FILL ON SURFACE WATERS UNLESS MEETING, AGAIN,
5:17:23PM CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.
5:17:26PM THOSE ARE SIMILAR TO THE ONES LISTED PREVIOUSLY.
5:17:31PM THE LANGUAGE ADDS DEFINITIONS FOR INCIDENTAL FILL, MAN-MADE
5:17:35PM WATER BODIES AND SURFACE WATERS, AND ALSO MODIFIES THE
5:17:39PM EXISTING DEFINITION OF OVERRIDING PUBLIC INTEREST.
5:17:42PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
5:17:46PM FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO ADD ADDITIONAL POLICY
5:17:50PM DIRECTION REGARDING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF FILL CONSISTENT
5:17:53PM WITH THE ADOPTED POLICY GUIDELINES WITHIN THE TAMPA
5:17:56PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:17:58PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND A NUMBER OF POLICIES DEALING
5:18:01PM WITH THE PROTECTION OF WETLANDS, MARINE HABITAT, NATURAL
5:18:03PM AREAS ON LAKE SHORELINES, BEACH AND DUNE SYSTEMS PROTECTIONS
5:18:08PM AND WATER QUALITY.
5:18:10PM THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE WILL FURTHER THE PROTECTION OF THESE
5:18:13PM AREAS AND WILL ALSO PROVIDE CLEARER OUTCOMES AND
5:18:16PM EXPECTATIONS DURING ANY PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP
5:18:20PM AMENDMENT.
5:18:20PM SO BASED ON THAT, THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PLANNING
5:18:27PM COMMISSION IS TO FIND TACPA 18-18 CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:18:32PM IMAGINE 2040 TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:18:36PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
5:18:38PM MYSELF, SHAWN COLLEGE, KRISTIN MORA WITH CITY LEGAL, EPC
5:18:43PM STAFF IS ALSO HERE.

5:18:49PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF FROM COUNCIL?

5:19:03PM >>KRISTIN MORA: KRISTIN MORA, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
5:19:07PM AS MR. HEY STATED, WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER WITH
5:19:09PM HIMSELF AS WELL AS MR. COLLEGE, EPC AND THE TAMPA PORT
5:19:13PM AUTHORITY.
5:19:14PM WE FEEL THE LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF YOU IS AN EXCELLENT
5:19:18PM CLARIFICATION OF THE CURRENT POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
5:19:20PM PLAN, AND WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRANSMIT IT THIS
5:19:22PM EVENING.
5:19:23PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
5:19:23PM ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
5:19:24PM ALL RIGHT.

5:19:38PM DILIGENTLY TO BRING THIS FORWARD, AND WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
5:19:42PM TRANSMIT.
5:19:42PM THANK YOU.
5:19:43PM >>FRANK REDDICK: OKAY.
5:19:44PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 2?
5:19:47PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE TO CLOSE.
5:19:48PM >> SECOND.

5:20:05PM THANK YOU.
5:20:05PM ITEM NUMBER 3 -- 4.
5:20:07PM GOT ME CONFUSED NOW.
5:20:17PM >>DAVID HEY: ALL RIGHT.
5:20:17PM ON TO OUR LAST AMENDMENT FOR THE EVENING, THIS IS TACPA
5:20:25PM 18-17.
5:20:27PM THIS AMENDMENT IS LOCATED IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING
5:20:32PM DISTRICT.
5:20:33PM IT'S ALSO WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WESTSHORE BUSINESS
5:20:37PM CENTER.
5:20:38PM IT'S ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WESTSHORE
5:20:41PM PALMS NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:20:42PM HERE WE HAVE AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:20:49PM OF COURSE, THIS IS KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
5:20:51PM YOU HAVE WESTSHORE.
5:20:52PM OF COURSE, THIS IS WESTSHORE PLAZA HERE.
5:20:54PM THIS IS THE WALGREENS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF KENNEDY AND
5:20:58PM WESTSHORE.
5:20:58PM THIS PARCEL IS BEHIND THAT WALGREENS ON NORTH A.
5:21:03PM IT'S ROUGHLY .2 ACRES IN SIZE.
5:21:07PM YOU CAN SEE ALL THE COMMERCIAL AND THEN PALMS AREA HAS BEEN
5:21:11PM TRANSITIONING MORE INTO MORE OF A SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND
5:21:15PM MULTIFAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:21:17PM AGAIN, THIS IS A PRIVATELY INITIATED PLAN AMENDMENT.
5:21:21PM IT IS SMALL SCALE.
5:21:22PM AGAIN, APPROXIMATELY .2 ACRES IN SIZE.
5:21:25PM CURRENTLY, IT'S DESIGNATED THAT RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND
5:21:28PM USE CATEGORY.
5:21:29PM THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO GO TO THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35
5:21:34PM CATEGORY.
5:21:34PM HERE WE'LL HAVE SOME PICTURES.
5:21:42PM HERE WE'RE LOOKING NORTH FROM NORTH A STREET.
5:21:44PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS OVER HERE ON THE LEFT.
5:21:46PM THIS IS THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT
5:21:49PM SITE.
5:21:51PM IT LOOKS LIKE A HOUSE BUT ACTUALLY THERE IS A SITE OUT
5:21:55PM FRONT.
5:21:55PM IT'S AN OFFICE.
5:21:57PM HERE WE'RE ON NORTH A STREET LOOKING NORTH.
5:22:01PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
5:22:03PM YOU CAN SEE THE ALLEY AND THE TOWNHOMES IN THE BACK UP ON
5:22:06PM NORTH B BEHIND THESE TREES, BUT YOU COULD SEE THE SITE IS
5:22:10PM CURRENTLY VACANT.
5:22:11PM BEHIND THIS FENCE HERE, THIS IS THE FLORIDA BLUE BUILDING
5:22:15PM OUT ON WESTSHORE.
5:22:16PM HERE WE'RE LOOKING EAST DOWN NORTH A STREET.
5:22:27PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS OFF THE FRAME TO THE LEFT.
5:22:30PM YOU COULD SEE A LOT OF THIS IS OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN
5:22:35PM THESE ARE COMMERCIAL USES ASSOCIATED WITH THE USES UP ON
5:22:39PM KENNEDY.
5:22:39PM THEN HERE WE'RE LOOKING WEST DOWN NORTH A STREET.
5:22:45PM THE SUBJECT SITE IS OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT.
5:22:47PM YOU COULD SEE WE'RE LOOKING TOWARD WESTSHORE PLAZA.
5:22:50PM THIS IS THE WALGREENS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:22:53PM THERE'S THE WALGREENS AGAIN LOOKING MORE SOUTHWEST, THE
5:22:58PM INTERCONTINENTAL IS BEHIND THAT.
5:23:02PM HERE WE MOVE UP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:23:06PM WE'RE LOOKING EAST DOWN THE ALLEY THAT'S IN THE BACK.
5:23:10PM THESE ARE THE TOWNHOMES THAT ACCESS THE ALLEY.
5:23:14PM AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE, THIS WOODED AREA RIGHT ON THE
5:23:17PM RIGHT THERE IS THE BACK OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:23:19PM HERE WE HAVE THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
5:23:24PM IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT THE SUBJECT SITE IN ALL THIS
5:23:27PM BROWN IS THAT -- SORRY, THE RESIDENTIAL 35.
5:23:31PM THE REDDISH COLOR THAT'S TO THE SOUTH AND DIRECTLY TO THE
5:23:35PM WEST IS THAT REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
5:23:38PM AND THEN AS YOU GO EAST OF TRASK IT GOES DOWN TO A
5:23:43PM RESIDENTIAL 20, AND IT STAYS URBAN MIXED USE 60 ALONG
5:23:48PM PORTIONS OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
5:23:49PM IF THIS PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, THE SUBJECT SITE WOULD
5:23:53PM GO.
5:23:53PM IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THAT SITE WOULD BE THE COMMUNITY MIXED
5:23:56PM USE 35 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
5:23:58PM THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY AND DENSITY, THE DENSITY WOULD REMAIN
5:24:08PM THE SAME UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 35, A MAXIMUM OF SEVEN UNITS
5:24:12PM CAN BE CONSIDERED.
5:24:15PM THAT IS THE SAME UNDER THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
5:24:17PM THE DIFFERENCES START UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 35, A MAXIMUM OF
5:24:23PM 5,325 SQUARE FEET CAN BE CONSIDERED.
5:24:27PM THAT NONRESIDENTIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE WOULD INCREASE TO A
5:24:30PM MAXIMUM OF 17,424 SQUARE FEET.
5:24:34PM ONE OF THE OTHER DIFFERENCES IS RESIDENTIAL USES WOULD BE
5:24:39PM ALLOWED IN THAT MIXED-USE CATEGORY UNDER THE MAXIMUM SQUARE
5:24:44PM FOOTAGE, THEY ARE ALLOWED WHICHEVER IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO
5:24:47PM THE APPLICANT.
5:24:48PM THEY CAN USE EITHER ONE FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
5:24:52PM IT WOULD ALSO INTRODUCE THE POTENTIAL OF THE COMMERCIAL
5:24:55PM GENERAL ZONING DISTRICT ON THAT BLOCK, ON THAT PARCEL.
5:25:00PM WE ALWAYS SEND THESE OUT FOR AGENCY REVIEWS.
5:25:06PM NONE HAD ANY CONCERNS.
5:25:09PM THERE WAS ONE NOTE JUST STATING THAT BOTH COLMAN MIDDLE AND
5:25:16PM PLANT HIGH SCHOOL DO NOT HAVE CAPACITY AT THIS MOMENT.
5:25:19PM IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT IS NOT A CONCURRENCY
5:25:22PM DETERMINATION.
5:25:22PM A CONCURRENCY REVIEW WILL TAKE PLACE PRIOR TO THE
5:25:25PM PRELIMINARY PLAT OR SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
5:25:27PM IT'S JUST AN INFORMATIONAL ONLY COMMENT.
5:25:30PM YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION DID FIND THIS REQUEST CONSISTENT
5:25:37PM WITH A NUMBER OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES.
5:25:42PM THERE'S POLICY LANGUAGE THAT PROMOTES A MIXTURE OF USES,
5:25:45PM ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CITY'S EMPLOYMENT CENTERS.
5:25:48PM THIS, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE WESTSHORE
5:25:51PM BUSINESS CENTER.
5:25:52PM THERE'S ALSO POLICIES DEALING WITH PROMOTING INFILL
5:25:56PM DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT AND
5:26:00PM EMPLOYMENT SERVICES.
5:26:01PM THIS IS RIGHT NEXT TO WESTSHORE PLAZA.
5:26:04PM SO BASED ON ALL THAT, YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS
5:26:07PM THE PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE
5:26:10PM GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE IMAGINE 2040 TAMPA
5:26:13PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
5:26:14PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
5:26:18PM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
5:26:20PM THANK YOU.
5:26:29PM >>GINA GRIMES: GINA GRIMES WITH THE LAW FIRM OF HILL WARD
5:26:32PM HENDERSON.
5:26:33PM I'M HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING ZHUKOVSKYI USA.
5:26:41PM THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.
5:26:42PM AS YOU HEARD FROM DAVID, COMP PLAN CATEGORY OF R-35.
5:26:46PM AND IT'S GOT A ZONING OF PD.
5:26:48PM THE EXISTING ZONING FOR THE PD WAS APPROVED BACK IN 1981, SO
5:26:53PM IT'S A FAIRLY OLD REZONING AND IT ALLOWS A VERY LOW
5:26:57PM INTENSITY OFFICE USE OF 3,000 SQUARE FEET.
5:27:00PM SO WE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE COMP PLAN FROM THE R-35 TO THE
5:27:04PM CMU 35 TO ALLOW US TO APPLY FOR A REZONING FOR A LARGER
5:27:09PM OFFICE DEVELOPMENT THERE ON THAT SITE.
5:27:11PM AS YOU KNOW, IF THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, THE
5:27:17PM REZONING WOULD BE EVALUATED FOR ALL THE SPECIFICS DEALING
5:27:20PM WITH THE ACCESS AND THE BUFFERING AND SO FORTH.
5:27:22PM WE THINK THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR A COUPLE
5:27:26PM OF DIFFERENT REASONS.
5:27:28PM THE FIRST REASON IS THAT, AS DAVID HAS NOTED, THE SITE IS
5:27:32PM IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE RMU-100 COMP PLAN CATEGORY,
5:27:37PM WHICH IS THE AREA IN THE PINK-PURPLE.
5:27:42PM THE RMU-100 IS THE MOST INTENSE COMP PLAN CATEGORY THAT YOU
5:27:46PM HAVE IN THE CITY, OTHER THAN DOWNTOWN.
5:27:47PM AND THEN THIS SUBJECT PARCEL IS R-35.
5:27:53PM WELL, THE RMU-100 ALLOWS A 3.5 F.A.R., BUT THE CURRENT COMP
5:28:02PM PLAN CATEGORY OF R-35 ONLY ALLOWS A .6 F.A.R.
5:28:06PM SO THERE'S A BIG DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE F.A.R. ALLOWED
5:28:10PM RIGHT HERE AND THEN WHAT'S ALLOWED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT.
5:28:14PM WE THINK THAT BY PROPOSING THE CMU 35 NOT ONLY WILL WE BE
5:28:19PM INCREASING THE F.A.R. TO AN F.A.R. THAT'S MORE OF A
5:28:22PM TRANSITION FROM THE RMU 100 AT 3.5 TO THE CMU, WHICH WE'RE
5:28:28PM PROPOSING FOR THIS SITE AT 2.0, THEN DOWN TO THE R-35, WHICH
5:28:34PM IS A .6.
5:28:35PM SO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO AT THESE MAJOR -- MAJOR STREETS LIKE
5:28:40PM THIS, USUALLY THE MOST INTENSE DEVELOPMENT IS RIGHT ON THAT
5:28:43PM MAJOR STREET, AND THEN IT TRANSITIONS DOWN TO LESS INTENSE
5:28:46PM DEVELOPMENT AS YOU GO FURTHER BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
5:28:49PM AND WE THINK THIS ACCOMPLISHES THAT, BECAUSE IT REDUCES --
5:28:51PM IT INCREASES THE CURRENT INTENSITY, BUT IT DOESN'T INCREASE
5:28:56PM IT AS HIGH AS IT IS ON THE ACTUAL WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
5:28:59PM WE ALSO THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT'S CONSISTENT
5:29:04PM WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND THE USES, AND I'M
5:29:08PM GOING TO USE SOME OF DAVID'S PICTURES TO SHOW YOU WHAT I
5:29:12PM MEAN.
5:29:12PM HE MENTIONED THAT IT'S IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT OR TO THE EAST
5:29:15PM OF THE FLORIDA BLUE, AND THIS IS STANDING RIGHT ON NORTH A
5:29:22PM STREET LOOKING NORTH.
5:29:23PM THIS IS FLORIDA BLUE, SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S PARKING RIGHT IN
5:29:27PM HERE, AND THEN THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
5:29:29PM SO IT WILL BE -- OUR PROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, IF THIS
5:29:32PM COMP PLAN AMENDMENT IS APPROVED, WILL BE IMMEDIATELY
5:29:35PM ADJACENT TO A PARKING LOT.
5:29:36PM TO THE SOUTH, SO STANDING ON THE SITE AND LOOKING SOUTH,
5:29:40PM YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE WALGREENS.
5:29:42PM AND THEN AS YOU COULD SEE, ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN OUT THERE A
5:29:47PM COUPLE OF TIMES, THERE'S USUALLY SERVICE VEHICLES AND TRUCK
5:29:49PM DELIVERY VEHICLES THAT KIND OF USE NORTH A TO SERVICE SOME
5:29:53PM OF THOSE USES.
5:29:54PM AS DAVID SHOWED YOU, THE THIRD SIDE OF THE SITE IS ALSO
5:30:00PM ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY
5:30:03PM WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
5:30:05PM AND THEN I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE NORTH WHERE THEY
5:30:08PM HAVE -- THIS IS AN ALLEY.
5:30:10PM WE'RE LOOKING EAST DOWN AN ALLEY THAT'S ON THE NORTH
5:30:13PM BOUNDARY OF OUR SITE, BUT I WANT TO NOTE THAT EVEN THOUGH IT
5:30:16PM IS RESIDENTIAL, THESE ARE THE BACKS OF THE GARAGES TO THE
5:30:22PM RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT FACE NORTH B STREET.
5:30:26PM SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE VERY LITTLE IMPACT, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S
5:30:28PM AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES.
5:30:30PM AS DAVID MENTIONED, BOTH THE CITY AND THE PLANNING
5:30:33PM COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF HAVE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OR
5:30:38PM NO OBJECTION.
5:30:39PM HE BROUGHT UP THE COMMENT ABOUT THE SCHOOL CURRENCY, GIVEN
5:30:44PM THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO AN OFFICE DEVELOPMENT, IT'S NOT
5:30:46PM GOING TO GENERATE ANY RESIDENTS OR ANY STUDENTS THAT WOULD
5:30:48PM BE AFFECTED BY THE LIMITATION ON THE CAPACITY AT COLMAN AND
5:30:52PM PLANT.
5:30:53PM IT'S EVEN MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THAT REASON.
5:30:55PM WITH ALL THAT, WE WOULD REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF THIS COMP
5:30:58PM PLAN AMENDMENT.
5:30:59PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
5:31:00PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4?

6:06:49PM LIQUOR IN CONNECTION WITH A RESTAURANT.
6:06:50PM THE PETITION BEFORE YOU IS INCREASING THE APPROVED AREA BY
6:06:53PM ADDING AN OUTDOOR AREA FOR AB SALES.
6:06:57PM REZONING 1896 WAS APPROVED FOR ALL CG USES AND THE

6:07:03PM IT WAS BEFORE A PEI WEI.

6:07:59PM COPY OF ADOPTED ORDINANCE AND ASSOCIATED SITE PLAN FOR
6:08:01PM ALCOHOL BEVERAGE SALES.
6:08:02PM LAND DEVELOPMENT DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT DUE TO SECTION
6:08:05PM 27-132, AND THAT'S TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED DISTANCE
6:08:08PM SEPARATION TO RESIDENTIAL USES FROM 250 FEET TO 80 FEET.
6:08:12PM AND, AGAIN, SECTION 27-132 TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED DISTANCE
6:08:17PM SEPARATION TO OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS FROM 250 FEET TO

6:08:50PM THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A MIXED-USE CORRIDOR VILLAGE AND
6:08:53PM ALONG A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR.
6:08:55PM HERE IS THE VICINITY MAP SHOWING THE AREA AND THE ZONINGS
6:09:01PM AROUND THE PROPERTY.
6:09:02PM THIS PARTICULAR ESTABLISHMENT IS ON THE SOUTH CORNER OF THE
6:09:04PM PROPERTY.
6:09:04PM THE TOP PICTURE IS SHOWING THE FRONT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT,
6:09:10PM AND THIS SHOWS YOU THE STRIP CENTER IT'S LOCATED IN.
6:09:13PM THE TOP PICTURE IS THE SIDE VIEW OF THE PARKING AREA.
6:09:17PM THIS IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.
6:09:19PM THE BELOW PICTURE IS 3809 WEST PLATT STREET, WHICH IS THE
6:09:23PM CLOSEST RESIDENTIAL.
6:09:24PM THE TOP PICTURE IS 145 SOUTH DALE MABRY, THE NEIGHBOR TO THE

6:09:38PM AND THIS IS THE WEST VIEW ACROSS DALE MABRY.
6:09:40PM THE SITE PLAN IS BEFORE YOU.
6:09:44PM I WANTED TO PUT THESE UP HERE.
6:09:45PM THESE ARE THE CORRECTIONS LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT
6:09:47PM WOULD BE REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:09:50PM TPD HAD NO OBJECTION TO THE SPECIAL USE REQUEST.
6:09:53PM STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
6:09:55PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
6:09:58PM >>HARRY COHEN: JUST ONE.
6:09:59PM SO THE TWO WAIVERS -- THE TWO OBJECTIONS FROM THE STAFF ARE
6:10:05PM ALREADY EXISTING CONDITIONS, CORRECT?
6:10:08PM >>RYAN MANASSE: THEY ARE DUE TO THE DISTANCE SEPARATION
6:10:11PM REQUIREMENTS.
6:10:11PM >>HARRY COHEN: THEY EXIST FOR THE LICENSE THAT'S THERE NOW.
6:10:14PM THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS WOULD BE ADDING OUTDOOR SPACE.
6:10:16PM >>RYAN MANASSE: CORRECT.
6:10:18PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON
6:10:21PM ITEM NUMBER 5?
6:10:21PM I'M SORRY.
6:10:25PM THE APPLICANT.
6:10:26PM I'M SORRY.
6:10:27PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
6:10:29PM STEVE MICHELINI.
6:10:30PM I'M REPRESENTING CICCIO CALI, WHO IS THE PETITIONER HERE FOR
6:10:36PM 217 SOUTH DALE MABRY.
6:10:40PM IF YOU RECALL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE REZONING
6:10:42PM APPLICATION PRECEDED THIS REQUEST THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT A
6:10:46PM NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES, INCLUDING HOW MUCH PARKING WAS THERE
6:10:49PM AND HOW IT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE VARIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS.
6:10:52PM THE RESTAURANT IS AN EXISTING ESTABLISHMENT.
6:10:54PM IT HAS AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE AND AN ALCOHOLIC
6:10:57PM BEVERAGE ZONING.
6:11:00PM WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE IS 303 SQUARE FEET PATIO FOR OUTSIDE
6:11:04PM DINING, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CHANGING TO ADD THAT ON TO OUR
6:11:07PM APPLICATION.
6:11:07PM IT ALSO -- WE MEET THE CODE REGARDING PARKING, SO THERE ARE
6:11:13PM NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED.
6:11:14PM THE ESTABLISHMENT, AS MR. COHEN HAS ALREADY POINTED OUT, THE
6:11:21PM WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED ARE THE EXISTING WAIVERS
6:11:23PM THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED AND APPROVED UNDER THE OTHER
6:11:27PM ZONING APPLICATION THAT EXISTS NOW.
6:11:32PM WE HAVE TO GO BACK AND WHEN WE'RE CHANGING THE ZONING
6:11:34PM DISTRICT FOR THE ALCOHOL, WE HAVE TO REQUEST THOSE WAIVERS
6:11:37PM AGAIN.
6:11:38PM I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
6:11:42PM IT IS A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD PROPOSAL.
6:11:44PM IT IS AN EXISTING RESTAURANT, AND WE'RE ADDING OUTSIDE PATIO
6:11:47PM DINING.
6:11:48PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: IT'S AN EXISTING RESTAURANT.
6:11:50PM AN EXISTING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE.
6:11:52PM WERE THE HOURS THE SAME AS YOU'RE PROPOSING?
6:11:55PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: THESE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CHAPTER --
6:11:57PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: NO, IT ISN'T.
6:11:59PM BUT I WANT TO KNOW, IS THAT THE HOURS THAT WERE ON THE --
6:12:04PM >>RYAN MANASSE: RYAN MANASSE, LAND DEVELOPMENT.
6:12:06PM THE ACTIVE ORDINANCE ON FILE IS PER CITY CODE SO IT WOULD BE
6:12:09PM TO CHAPTER 14.
6:12:10PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: OKAY.
6:12:11PM THIS SAYS 7 A.M. TO 11 P.M. AND THEN 2 A.M. ON SATURDAYS.
6:12:14PM >>RYAN MANASSE: THAT'S CORRECT.
6:12:15PM THE SITE PLAN STATED THE HOURS OF OPERATION.
6:12:17PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'RE FINE WITH CHAPTER 14.
6:12:19PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: ON THE SITE PLAN, THIS IS WRONG.
6:12:24PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE HAD ORIGINALLY COMMITTED TO BEING CON
6:12:26PM --
6:12:26PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I UNDERSTAND.
6:12:27PM THESE ARE THE HOURS YOU'RE GOING TO BE OPEN.
6:12:29PM GOT IT.
6:12:30PM >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE'LL BE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14.
6:12:32PM WE'LL MAKE THAT CHANGE.
6:12:34PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: YEAH, THAT'S THE WAY I WOULD LIKE IT TO READ
6:12:39PM OR SHOULD READ.
6:12:39PM YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT?
6:12:44PM >>HARRY COHEN: I THINK THEY TRIED TO LIMIT THEMSELVES
6:12:46PM BECAUSE OF CONCERN ABOUT NOISE.
6:12:47PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I SEE THAT.
6:12:48PM BUT CHAPTER 13, IT COVERS IT.
6:12:51PM SO THEY'RE OKAY.
6:12:51PM IT COVERS MANY HOURS.
6:12:56PM BUT THAT ON THE SITE PLAN, THEY ARE OKAY WITH CHAPTER --
6:13:01PM WHICH IS WHAT HE SAID IS ON THE SITE PLAN, CORRECT?
6:13:05PM >>RYAN MANASSE: THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN BEFORE YOU STATED
6:13:07PM HOURS OF OPERATION.
6:13:08PM THE ACTIVE ORDINANCE ON FILE RIGHT NOW STATES PER CITY CODE.
6:13:11PM SO HIS PETITION IS ACTUALLY STATING HOURS.
6:13:14PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THAT'S WHY I ASKED, WERE THEY THE SAME?
6:13:17PM THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THEN.
6:13:18PM >>RYAN MANASSE: NO.
6:13:19PM THE ACTIVE ORDINANCE IS PER CITY CODE.
6:13:21PM AND HE'S STATING EACH DAY'S HOURS.
6:13:24PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: BECAUSE IT WAS ASSUMED THAT IT WAS THE SAME,

6:18:47PM >> MY NAME IS DAVID CRUZ.
6:18:48PM GOOD EVENING.
6:18:51PM WE ARE JUST REQUESTING -- WE HAVE A SMALL RESTAURANT.
6:18:55PM WE'RE JUST -- CUSTOMERS REQUEST TRYING TO PROVIDE THE SALES
6:19:00PM OF WINE AND BEER.
6:19:01PM BASICALLY IT.
6:19:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THAT'S IT?
6:19:04PM THAT'S IT.
6:19:08PM >> THAT'S IT.
6:19:08PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON
6:19:10PM ITEM NUMBER 8?
6:19:11PM ITEM NUMBER 6?
6:19:12PM ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6?
6:19:26PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:19:26PM MY NAME IS GEORGE RUSH.
6:19:28PM I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY WIFE JAN RUSH.
6:19:33PM WE OWN THE PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET, 1000 NORTH
6:19:38PM MacDILL.
6:19:38PM WE'VE OWNED IT SINCE ABOUT 1995.
6:19:41PM ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, WE CONVERTED THE BUILDING FROM OFFICE
6:19:46PM ZONING TO DAY CARE ZONING, AND IT HAS BEEN OPERATING AS A
6:19:52PM DAY CARE CONTINUOUSLY FOR ABOUT THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
6:19:55PM THE CONVERSION FROM OFFICE TO DAY CARE FOR A SMALL BUILDING
6:20:00PM IS EXPENSIVE.
6:20:03PM RULE OF THUMB IS 50% OF THE VALUE OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE OF
6:20:06PM THE SECURITY ISSUES THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED, THE DINING
6:20:12PM ISSUES THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED, ALL THE INTERIOR WALLS
6:20:16PM HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT, PLAYGROUNDS HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, AND
6:20:20PM WE'VE DONE THAT.
6:20:23PM AND IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
6:20:24PM WE AS LANDLORDS RENT TO SOMEONE WHO IS LICENSED TO OPERATE
6:20:33PM THE DAY CARE.
6:20:34PM THESE DAY CARES, THIS PARTICULAR DAY CARE SPECIALIZES IN VPK
6:20:43PM AND YOUNGER, WHICH MEANS FOUR YEARS OR YOUNGER.
6:20:46PM AND WE'RE CONCERNED THAT WE WOULD HAVE A DAY CARE SO CLOSE
6:20:54PM TO THE APPLICANT HERE.
6:20:57PM WE ARE DESCRIBED IN THE PAPERS AS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
6:21:03PM WE'RE ACTUALLY ABOUT A HUNDRED FEET.
6:21:05PM WE'RE LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET AT THEM, AND WE SEE THIS
6:21:11PM COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE BUILDING AS A DAY CARE ENTITY.
6:21:15PM IF YOU GET A REPUTATION AS BEING TOO CLOSE TO THE WRONG KIND
6:21:23PM OF ALCOHOLIC CONSUMPTION SITE, YOU'RE OUT OF BUSINESS.
6:21:29PM I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT WOULD HAPPEN HERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW
6:21:33PM IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
6:21:34PM AND IF THAT HAPPENS, IF THE DAY CARE LICENSEES LEAVE, WE'VE
6:21:41PM GOT TO PAY WHICH WOULD, AGAIN, BE MORE THAN A HUNDRED
6:21:43PM THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO CONVERT IT BACK TO AN OFFICE.
6:21:46PM I DON'T -- YOU KNOW, THIS IS -- YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING
6:21:52PM WE DON'T WANT TO DO.
6:21:53PM SO I WOULD RESPECTFULLY --
6:21:57PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
6:21:57PM -- OPPOSE THIS APPLICATION FOR THE REASONS I'VE STATED.
6:22:04PM >>FRANK REDDICK: MR. SUAREZ.
6:22:11PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHERE IS THE DAY CARE AT?
6:22:13PM IS THAT THE ONE JUST WEST OF THE PLACE?
6:22:15PM >> YES.
6:22:16PM YOU COULD SEE IN THE PHOTOS --
6:22:17PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, IT'S ACROSS THE STREET, CORRECT?
6:22:20PM >> IT'S ACROSS THE STREET.
6:22:21PM I MEAN, WE COULD THROW BASEBALLS ACROSS THE STREET.
6:22:24PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
6:22:24PM IF YOU HAD A GOOD ARM, YOU COULD.
6:22:26PM >> YEAH.
6:22:26PM YOU WOULD THROW THE BASEBALL.
6:22:27PM I WOULD CATCH IT.
6:22:28PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I DON'T THINK I COULD.
6:22:29PM MY ROTATOR CUFF ISN'T THAT GOOD ANYMORE.
6:22:34PM >> YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE TWO OR THREE BUSES THAT ACTUALLY
6:22:37PM PICK THE CHILDREN UP AND BRING THEM THERE AND TAKE THEM
6:22:39PM BACK.
6:22:39PM AND THEN THEY HAVE A MIXTURE.
6:22:42PM SOMETIMES THEY ARE OPEN AT NIGHT.
6:22:45PM IT'S A NEW THING THAT PARENTS GET A NIGHT OFF AND YOU CAN
6:22:48PM LEAVE THE KIDS THERE.
6:22:50PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: NOW, LET ME JUST ASK YOU, SO YOU'RE THE
6:22:52PM LANDLORD, NOT THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS ITSELF, RIGHT?
6:22:55PM >> NO.
6:22:56PM I'M THE OWNER.
6:22:56PM WE CONVERT THE BUILDING.
6:22:58PM I'VE TALKED TO THEM AS RECENTLY AS TODAY, BUT WE'RE THE
6:23:04PM OWNER BECAUSE THE USE -- THE BUILDING HAS TO BE CONVERTED
6:23:08PM FOR CITY PURPOSES INTO --
6:23:09PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I THINK YOU'RE MISSING MY QUESTION.
6:23:11PM MY QUESTION IS, I THOUGHT YOU SAID WHEN YOU CAME UP THAT
6:23:14PM YOU'RE THE LANDLORD OF THE BUILDING.
6:23:16PM >> RIGHT.
6:23:17PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND SOMEONE OPERATES THE DAY CARE.
6:23:19PM SO YOU'RE NOT THE OPERATOR OF THE DAY CARE.
6:23:21PM YOU ARE THE LANDLORD OF THE BUILDING.
6:23:23PM >> YES.
6:23:23PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
6:23:24PM I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD THAT RIGHT.
6:23:25PM >> YES.
6:23:26PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN THERE?
6:23:28PM >> ABOUT EIGHT YEARS.
6:23:29PM THE CURRENT TENANT HAS BEEN WITH US EIGHT YEARS.
6:23:31PM THEY TOOK IT WHEN WE CONVERTED IT, AND THEY RUN IT.
6:23:35PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: YEAH, OKAY.
6:23:36PM ALL RIGHT.
6:23:36PM I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON THAT.
6:23:40PM >> THEY ARE LISTED IN THE PETITION AS THE LEARNING ACADEMY,
6:23:45PM AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR LITTLE BUSES OVER THERE NOW.
6:23:48PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT, RIGHT.
6:23:49PM IT IS IN KIND OF AN URBAN SETTING WHERE THEY ARE AT.
6:23:54PM THERE MIGHT BE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A DAY
6:23:57PM CARE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A FAIRLY BUSY STREET.
6:23:59PM AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT ABOUT THE PLACE ACROSS THE
6:24:01PM STREET, BUT THERE ARE SOME ISSUES, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF,
6:24:04PM YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT ARE THERE, TOO, THAT
6:24:06PM SOMEBODY MIGHT NOT WANT TO PUT THEIR KIDS THERE FOR OTHER
6:24:10PM REASONS, TOO.
6:24:11PM >> WELL, BECAUSE MOST OF THE KIDS ARE PICKED UP BY BUSES.
6:24:16PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I GET IT.
6:24:17PM I'M SAYING THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
6:24:19PM AN URBAN SETTING FOR DAY CARES.
6:24:21PM >> RIGHT.
6:24:21PM CORRECT.
6:24:22PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
6:24:23PM I APPRECIATE IT.
6:24:23PM THANK YOU SO MUCH.
6:24:24PM I APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS.
6:24:26PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISHING TO
6:24:27PM SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 6?
6:24:30PM >>HARRY COHEN: MAY I ASK A QUESTION OF THE STAFF?
6:24:32PM JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE'S ALREADY A PACKAGE SALES ABILITY
6:24:38PM HERE, RIGHT?
6:24:40PM >>RYAN MANASSE: THAT'S CORRECT, SIR.
6:24:41PM FROM DECEMBER 11, 1980.
6:24:46PM >>HARRY COHEN: SO UNDER THE NEW GUIDELINE, UNDER THE NEW,
6:24:49PM WHAT'S BEING ASKED FOR, THERE WILL NO LONGER BE SALES FOR
6:24:54PM OFF-PREMISES CONSUMPTION, CORRECT?
6:24:56PM >>RYAN MANASSE: CORRECT.
6:24:57PM IT'S ONLY CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
6:24:59PM RESTAURANT.
6:25:00PM IT'S COMING IN AS A RESTAURANT, SO THEY'LL BE REPORTING
6:25:02PM RESTAURANT TO THE CITY AND CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY.
6:25:08PM >>HARRY COHEN: THANKS.
6:25:08PM >>RYAN MANASSE: YES, SIR.
6:25:09PM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION OF THE DAY
6:25:12PM CARE?
6:25:12PM >>RYAN MANASSE: THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14, STATED
6:25:15PM ON THE SITE PLAN.
6:25:15PM >>FRANK REDDICK: FOR THE DAY CARE?
6:25:17PM >>RYAN MANASSE: OH, THE DAY CARE.
6:25:18PM I'M SORRY.
6:25:21PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE ...
6:25:30PM WHAT ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THE DAY CARE?
6:25:35PM >> THEY ARE OPEN -- I THINK THEY START AT -- I'M NOT AN
6:25:41PM EXPERT, BUT THEY START VERY EARLY, 6 OR 7.
6:25:44PM THEY RUN I THINK TILL 4 OR 5, BUT I KNOW THEY ALSO DO HAVE
6:25:51PM THE NIGHTTIME SERVICE BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO HAVE A GRANDSON
6:25:55PM WHERE THEY OPEN UP AT NIGHT FOR PARENTS WHO WANTED TO DROP
6:26:00PM THEIR KIDS OFF AND GO OUT.
6:26:02PM I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE CLOSING.
6:26:04PM I'M GUESSING 9 OR 10.
6:26:06PM >>FRANK REDDICK: HOW OFTEN ARE THESE SERVICES AT NIGHT?
6:26:08PM >> WELL, THEY'RE OPEN, AS FAR AS I KNOW, FIVE DAYS A WEEK.
6:26:11PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THEY HAVE NIGHT SERVICES FIVE DAYS A WEEK?
6:26:14PM >> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
6:26:15PM I JUST KNOW THAT I WAS INQUIRING OF THEM, JUST MENTIONING TO
6:26:21PM THEM THAT MY GRANDSON HAD THAT SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT
6:26:26PM THEY ALSO OFFER THAT SERVICE.
6:26:27PM THAT'S THE EXTENT OF OUR CONVERSATION.
6:26:30PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THANK YOU.
6:26:31PM ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
6:26:33PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.
6:26:35PM THAT IS IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER.
6:26:38PM SOMETIME BACK, OWNED BY A POLICE OFFICER NAMED DANIELS.
6:26:44PM I FORGET HIS FIRST NAME NOW.
6:26:46PM HE RETIRED.
6:26:47PM IT WAS A RESIDENTIAL HOME.
6:26:49PM 31 OR 32.
6:26:51PM DIDN'T HAVE NONE OF THAT BRICK ON THE OUTSIDE.
6:26:53PM IT WAS JUST COMMON RESIDENCE.
6:26:55PM AND THEN SOMEHOW IT WAS REZONED BACK I GUESS IN THE '80s.
6:26:59PM BUT BEFORE THAT, IT WAS A RESIDENTIAL, I THINK DANIELS, HE
6:27:03PM WAS A POLICE OFFICER, RETIRED AND MOVED TO SOMEWHERE IN THE
6:27:09PM TARPON SPRINGS AREA.
6:27:10PM THAT'S ALL I CAN REMEMBER ABOUT THAT.
6:27:15PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:27:16PM PETITIONER?
6:27:16PM SIR, NO, NO, NO.
6:27:19PM NOT YOUR TIME.
6:27:20PM YOU CAN TAKE A SEAT.
6:27:22PM APPLICANT.
6:27:29PM >> HIS CONCERN AND I WANT TO ADDRESS HIS CONCERN.
6:27:33PM THE DAY CARE I BELIEVE IS A FOUR-LANE, VEHICLE LANE BETWEEN
6:27:41PM BOTH PROPERTIES.
6:27:42PM SO I THINK ON THE DAY CARE, IT WILL BE -- FOR THEM TO BE
6:27:46PM ABLE TO GET TO THE RESTAURANT OR ANY OTHER CHILD OR ANY
6:27:52PM PERSON TAKING CARE IN THE CHILD CARE, I DON'T THINK IT -- TO
6:27:57PM CROSS THE FOUR LANES TO GET TO THE RESTAURANT SHOULD BE
6:27:59PM ENOUGH SPACE.
6:28:00PM I'M NOT SURE IF I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE OR NOT.
6:28:04PM ALSO, A SMALL RESTAURANT.
6:28:06PM WE SERVE TACOS AND BEER.
6:28:10PM I DON'T THINK IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO ATTRACT ANY KIND
6:28:14PM OF CROWD THAT WOULD INTERVENE WITH ANY OPERATION OF THE
6:28:17PM CHILD CARE.
6:28:18PM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT IS YOUR AVERAGE CROWD ON A WEEKEND?
6:28:20PM >> EXCUSE ME?
6:28:21PM >>FRANK REDDICK: WHAT IS YOUR AVERAGE CROWD ON A WEEKEND?
6:28:23PM >> WE WON'T BE --
6:28:26PM WE ONLY HOLD 48 TABLES.
6:28:31PM >>RYAN MANASSE: RYAN MANASSE, LAND DEVELOPMENT.
6:28:33PM IT'S STATED ON THE FLOOR PLAN 48.7 OCCUPANTS.
6:28:39PM >> 48 OCCUPANTS.
6:28:40PM NOT A BIG PLACE COMPARED TO THE CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS IN THE
6:28:43PM AREA.
6:28:43PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
6:28:44PM ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?
6:28:45PM ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK FROM THE PUBLIC?
6:28:51PM ALL RIGHT.
6:28:53PM >> MOVE TO CLOSE.

6:30:33PM I'LL LET HIM COME UP AND GIVE HIS REPORT.
6:30:36PM ONCE HE IS FINISHED, I'LL COME UP AND MAKE MY PRESENTATION.
6:30:39PM THANK YOU.
6:30:40PM >>DAVID HEY: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
6:30:42PM DAVID HEY WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
6:30:44PM I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
6:30:45PM THIS ONE AND ONLY SPECIAL USE TONIGHT IS IN THE CENTRAL
6:30:50PM TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
6:30:53PM IT'S WITHIN PROXIMITY TO OUR TRANSIT CENTER.
6:31:00PM IT'S IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT EMPLOYMENT CENTER AS
6:31:06PM OUTLINED ON THE MAP.
6:31:07PM I HAVE THE ZOOMED-OUT VERSION.
6:31:11PM THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT IN THE CENTER.
6:31:14PM IT'S AT THE OFF-RAMP OF I-275 JUST TO THE WEST OF THE BURGER
6:31:20PM KING.
6:31:21PM THE SUBJECT SITE TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE
6:31:27PM DESIGNATED INTERMODAL TRANSIT FACILITY OWNED BY THE STATE.
6:31:33PM THEN YOU HAVE OAKLAWN CEMETERY.
6:31:37PM THIS IS ORANGE AVENUE AS IT COMES INTO DOWNTOWN.
6:31:40PM PERRY HARVEY SENIOR PARK TO THE EAST.
6:31:44PM AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GREATER BETH-EL MISSIONARY BAPTIST
6:31:48PM CHURCH TO THE SOUTH.
6:31:50PM WE'RE ALL KIND OF FAMILIAR.
6:31:51PM THIS IS ENCORE OVER HERE AND THE GE BUILDING.
6:31:55PM THAT'S THE INTERSTATE THERE.
6:31:57PM HERE WE HAVE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
6:32:00PM THE SUBJECT SITE AND ALL THIS BROWNISH-RED COLOR, THAT IS
6:32:04PM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT LAND USE CATEGORY.
6:32:07PM YOU'VE GOT SOME ACTUAL -- A SMALL POCKET OF THIS DARK BROWN
6:32:13PM IS RES-83.
6:32:16PM THAT CONTINUES UP INTO TAMPA HEIGHTS.
6:32:18PM THE GREEN HERE IS RECREATION OPEN SPACE.
6:32:21PM THAT'S RELATED TO PERRY HARVEY SENIOR PARK.
6:32:24PM THEN OVER IN ENCORE, THAT'S THAT REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
6:32:29PM THE GTE IS URBAN MIXED USE 60.
6:32:34PM THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, AS YOU GO UP
6:32:40PM TOWARD TAMPA HEIGHTS.
6:32:41PM THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS LOOKED AT THIS, AND UNDER
6:32:50PM EXISTING ZONING REGULATIONS, AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE USE
6:32:54PM THAT IS TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
6:32:56PM HAS TO BE LOCATED NORTH OF HARRISON STREET AND ALSO BE
6:33:00PM LOCATED WITHIN A MIXED-USE STRUCTURE REQUIRING RESIDENTIAL
6:33:03PM USES.
6:33:05PM AND THE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE USE CANNOT EXCEED 40% OF THE
6:33:08PM TOTAL BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE.
6:33:10PM THESE REGULATIONS WERE DEVELOPED IN PART TO IMPLEMENT
6:33:14PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES REGARDING DEVELOPMENT IN THE
6:33:16PM CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
6:33:19PM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT'S OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE CONSISTS
6:33:23PM OF PRIMARILY AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
6:33:25PM THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT WOULD
6:33:29PM REQUIRE THE INCLUSION OF RESIDENTIAL CONSISTING OF 60% OR
6:33:33PM GREATER OF THE STRUCTURE.
6:33:34PM THIS WAIVER IS INCONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY.
6:33:37PM THE AREA NORTH OF HARRISON STREET IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS
6:33:40PM DISTRICT IS HOME TO THE MARION TRANSIT CENTER AND IS PLANNED
6:33:46PM AS THE LOCATION OF THE FUTURE DOWNTOWN INTERMODAL STATION.
6:33:49PM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A
6:33:52PM BUSINESS CENTER IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH SPECIFIC
6:33:56PM POLICY LANGUAGE REGARDING THE PROMOTION OF TRANSIT USE BY
6:34:00PM ENCOURAGING NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO TAKE PLACE IN THE
6:34:04PM FORM AND DENSITY THAT SUPPORTS TRANSIT, UNQUOTE.
6:34:07PM AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE USE BY ITS UNIQUE OPERATING
6:34:13PM CHARACTERISTICS WOULD TYPICALLY NOT BE DEEMED AS A USE THAT
6:34:16PM IS SUPPORTIVE OF TRANSIT USAGE.
6:34:19PM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT
6:34:22PM PATTERN AROUND MAJOR TRANSIT STATIONS THAT PROVIDE
6:34:25PM RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF
6:34:29PM INCREASING TRANSIT RIDERSHIP.
6:34:31PM THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE THAT IS
6:34:34PM PREDOMINANTLY STORAGE WOULD BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE POLICY
6:34:38PM DIRECTION OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:34:40PM AND THOSE POLICIES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU IN THE STAFF REPORT.
6:34:44PM BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
6:34:48PM FINDS THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
6:34:51PM PROVISIONS OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
6:34:53PM THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
6:34:57PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
6:35:01PM YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THAT BEING RESERVED FOR F.D.O.T.,
6:35:05PM MULTIMODAL, THAT ONE PARCEL THAT'S NEXT TO IT.
6:35:10PM >>DAVID HEY: RIGHT.
6:35:11PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: BASED ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING, WE
6:35:13PM SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THERE
6:35:16PM BECAUSE -- NOT BECAUSE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT BUT BECAUSE OF
6:35:19PM OTHER ISSUES, TOO, IS THAT IT?
6:35:20PM >>DAVID HEY: WELL, THE MAIN FOCUS OUT OF THE POLICY LANGUAGE
6:35:23PM WAS DEVELOPING THAT USES AROUND THAT FACILITY.
6:35:29PM BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ONLY THE DESIGNATED INTERMODAL, BUT
6:35:31PM THERE'S THE EXISTING MARION TRANSIT CENTER THAT IS THE HUB
6:35:35PM FOR HARTLINE.
6:35:36PM THE POLICY LANGUAGE IS SPECIFIC THAT -- TO SUPPORT THOSE
6:35:44PM TRANSIT AND THAT INVESTMENT IN THOSE FACILITIES, THE CITY
6:35:48PM SHOULD BE PROVIDING USES THAT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF CREATING
6:35:52PM PEOPLE THAT WILL USE THE FACILITIES.
6:35:54PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: GOT IT.
6:35:55PM >>DAVID HEY: AND A STORAGE USE JUST DOESN'T --
6:35:59PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: STORAGE IS NOT FOR STORING PEOPLE, AS WE
6:36:02PM KNOW.
6:36:02PM SHOULD NOT BE.
6:36:06PM >>DAVID HEY: THEY ARE NOT COMING TO THE STORAGE FACILITY ON
6:36:08PM TRANSIT USUALLY LUGGING STUFF TO IT.
6:36:10PM IT IS USUALLY A DRIVE TO A DESTINATION.
6:36:13PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR ABOUT THIS
6:36:15PM BECAUSE EARLIER TODAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TRANSIT-ORIENTED
6:36:18PM DEVELOPMENT AND SOME OTHER ISSUES IN TERMS OF CHANGING LAND
6:36:21PM USES AND THEN ZONING SPECIFICALLY FOR T.O.D.
6:36:26PM OBVIOUSLY, A PARCEL LIKE THAT IS KIND OF A DESIGNATED PLACE
6:36:32PM AS PART OF THE UNDERLYING LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR SOMETHING
6:36:36PM LIKE T.O.D. OR SOMETHING IN THAT MANNER, CORRECT?
6:36:41PM >>DAVID HEY: YES.
6:36:42PM RIGHT NOW, THERE ISN'T AN OFFICIAL DESIGNATION IN THE COMP
6:36:45PM PLAN.
6:36:45PM I KNOW EVERYONE IS WORKING ON THAT.
6:36:46PM BUT THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY THE MOST IDEAL SITE FOR ONE OF
6:36:52PM THOSE T.O.D. OVERLAYS DUE TO THE EXISTING INVESTMENT AND
6:36:57PM WHAT'S ANTICIPATED WITH BRIGHTLINE'S ARRIVAL -- ANTICIPATED
6:37:03PM ARRIVAL INTO TAMPA.
6:37:03PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: AND WOULD I BE WRONG TO SAY THAT WHEN WE'RE
6:37:06PM TALKING ABOUT A LARGE PARCEL OF LAND LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY
6:37:08PM WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE STREETCAR, IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT
6:37:10PM THAT MAY BE PART OF ANOTHER PIECE OF A TRANSIT-ORIENTED
6:37:14PM DEVELOPMENT TYPE OF DESIGN?
6:37:16PM >>DAVID HEY: YES, IT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE INCORPORATED INTO
6:37:19PM OTHER PARCELS.
6:37:19PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: UM-HUM.
6:37:20PM >>DAVID HEY: I KNOW F.D.O.T. IS LOOKING AT THE
6:37:24PM RECONFIGURATION OF THE INTERSECTION.
6:37:26PM THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT.
6:37:28PM SO THE PARCEL MAY BE ALL ROADWAY IN THE FUTURE.
6:37:31PM IT MAY BE PART OF A MUCH LARGER PARCEL IF THEY ARE ABLE TO
6:37:36PM REROUTE THE ROADS THROUGH THERE.
6:37:37PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
6:37:38PM I APPRECIATE IT, MR. HEY.
6:37:39PM >>DAVID HEY: THANK YOU.
6:37:46PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN.
6:37:48PM COUNCIL, THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW WITH
6:37:51PM YOU REGARDING PROCESS WITH THIS APPLICATION.
6:37:53PM FIRST, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS A SPECIAL USE 2 FOR THE USE
6:37:59PM OF AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
6:38:00PM THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
6:38:03PM SINCE IT IS IN THE CBD, PRIOR TO PERMITTING, THERE ARE
6:38:07PM CERTAIN DESIGN DISTRICT STANDARDS THAT MUST BE MET.
6:38:10PM IF THOSE STANDARDS CANNOT BE MET, THE APPLICANT MUST APPLY
6:38:14PM FOR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS TO THOSE STANDARDS.
6:38:16PM IN THIS CASE, THROUGH A SEPARATE PROCESS, THE APPLICANT HAS
6:38:19PM APPLIED FOR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS.
6:38:21PM THOSE EXCEPTIONS WILL BE REVIEWED ADMINISTRATIVELY BY THE
6:38:25PM ZONING ADMINISTRATOR.
6:38:28PM THOSE EXCEPTIONS WOULD BE DENIED.
6:38:29PM THE APPLICANT WILL APPLY FOR AN APPEAL HEARING.
6:38:32PM SO ON THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, YOU WILL SEE
6:38:36PM SPECIAL USE WAIVERS AND DESIGN EXCEPTIONS.
6:38:38PM WE CAN ONLY DISCUSS THE SPECIAL USES BECAUSE WE'RE HERE
6:38:42PM TONIGHT FOR THE SPECIAL USE CASE.
6:38:43PM THE DESIGN EXCEPTION WAIVERS ARE ON THE -- THE DESIGN
6:38:47PM EXCEPTIONS ARE ON THE SITE PLAN BECAUSE THE SPECIAL USE SITE
6:38:49PM PLAN AND THE DESIGN EXCEPTION SITE PLAN MUST BE CONSISTENT
6:38:53PM FOR PERMITTING PURPOSES.
6:38:54PM AT THE APPEAL HEARING, THAT IS THE TIME WHEN WE CAN DISCUSS
6:38:59PM THE DESIGN AND THE DESIGN EXCEPTION ELEMENTS.
6:39:01PM AND THAT IS SCHEDULED TO BE SET AROUND MAY 8th.
6:39:07PM SO SHOULD COUNCIL DECIDE TO APPROVE THIS APPLICATION THIS
6:39:10PM EVENING, THE SECOND READING SHOULD BE SCHEDULED.
6:39:13PM IN MAY WITH THAT APPEAL HEARING.
6:39:21PM >>HARRY COHEN: THAT DOES CREATE A BIT OF A LOGISTICAL
6:39:24PM COMPLICATION BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT --
6:39:26PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN.
6:39:28PM >>HARRY COHEN: YOU'LL HAVE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SET OF
6:39:31PM PEOPLE SITTING UP HERE ON SECOND READING, NUMBER ONE.
6:39:34PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES.
6:39:35PM >>HARRY COHEN: AND NUMBER TWO -- WELL, I GUESS THAT'S NUMBER
6:39:38PM ONE AND NUMBER TWO.
6:39:39PM [ LAUGHTER ]
6:39:42PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE LAST ONE WE HAD --
6:39:44PM >>HARRY COHEN: MS. KERT, MAYBE THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
6:39:46PM BUT THAT SEEMS TO ME PROBLEMATIC.
6:39:49PM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
6:39:51PM I DON'T THINK IT'S LEGALLY PROBLEMATIC THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
6:39:54PM HAVE A NEW COUNCIL HEAR THE DESIGN EXCEPTION AND HEAR THE
6:39:59PM CASE ON SECOND READING BECAUSE SECOND READING ALLOWS FOR AN
6:40:06PM ENTIRELY NEW PUBLIC HEARING.
6:40:07PM I DO WANT TO -- THIS IS AN UNUSUAL PROCESS BECAUSE WHEN YOU
6:40:11PM HEAR A SPECIAL USE PROCESS, THE ONLY WAIVERS THAT YOU CAN
6:40:14PM HEAR ARE TO THE SPECIFIC SPECIAL USE CRITERIA.
6:40:16PM YOU CAN'T GRANT WAIVERS TO SETBACKS OR DESIGN STANDARDS OR
6:40:21PM HEIGHT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
6:40:22PM YOU CAN THROUGH THE AB PROCESS FOR PARKING ONLY, BUT THAT'S
6:40:25PM ONLY BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY ALSO A SPECIFIC CRITERIA.
6:40:27PM SO EVERY TIME YOU HEAR A SPECIAL USE, IT'S ONLY THE SPECIFIC
6:40:31PM CRITERIA THAT YOU CAN WAIVE.
6:40:34PM IF THEY NEED ANYTHING ELSE, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A
6:40:37PM SPECIAL -- A DIFFERENT PROCESS.
6:40:38PM THIS ONE ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF COMPLICATIONS BECAUSE THEY
6:40:45PM NEED SOME DESIGN EXCEPTIONS FOR THE PLAN THAT THEY ARE
6:40:48PM PROPOSING THAT ORDINARILY IS NOT A PROBLEM EXCEPT WE DON'T
6:40:53PM GRANT DESIGN EXCEPTIONS UNTIL A USE IS APPROVED.
6:40:55PM AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE USE APPROVED.
6:40:57PM SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE IN SOMEWHAT OF A UNIQUE PROCEDURE HERE.
6:41:00PM THIS IS MUCH LIKE A CASE YOU HEARD EARLIER, THE BURGER KING
6:41:05PM DOWNTOWN.
6:41:05PM SO THIS IS A PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE.
6:41:07PM BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR -- I'VE TALKED TO THE
6:41:13PM APPLICANT.
6:41:14PM THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS TONIGHT.
6:41:17PM THEY ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY STILL HOLD THE BURDEN TO
6:41:20PM PROVE, TO GET PAST FIRST READING THAT THEY -- THAT THE
6:41:24PM APPLICANT ALWAYS IN A SPECIAL USE PERMIT HAS -- NOT AN
6:41:27PM AUTOMATIC APPROVAL.
6:41:28PM YOU DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE IT TONIGHT.
6:41:29PM THE APPLICANT STILL HAS TO MEET THE BURDEN TO PROVE THAT
6:41:32PM THEY MEET THE CRITERIA, AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR SPECIFIC
6:41:35PM WAIVERS TONIGHT THAT YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER LIKE YOU
6:41:37PM WOULD FOR NORMAL SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
6:41:40PM BUT I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT IF CITY COUNCIL MOVES
6:41:42PM THIS FORWARD ON FIRST READING, BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE
6:41:46PM CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE HAVE HERE, THAT IN NO WAY IS AN
6:41:49PM ENDORSEMENT ON ANY OF THE OTHER SITE PLAN ISSUES RELATED TO
6:41:55PM OTHER DESIGN EXCEPTIONS THAT THEY MAY NEED TO BE ASKING FOR.
6:41:59PM AND THAT IS PART OF THE CONFUSION.
6:42:01PM IT'S INHERENT IN THIS PROCESS TONIGHT, AND IT WOULD BE WITH
6:42:05PM ANY SPECIAL USE PERMIT YOU HAVE THAT NEEDED THE DESIGN
6:42:08PM EXCEPTION.
6:42:08PM I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO GO FORWARD, IF CITY COUNCIL IS
6:42:13PM COMFORTABLE WITH IT, BUT IT DOES NOT REMOVE THE BURDEN FROM
6:42:15PM THE APPLICANT TO PROVE THAT THE APPLICATION AS THEY'RE
6:42:19PM PRESENTING TO YOU, MEETS ALL THE TYPICAL GENERAL
6:42:23PM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPECIAL USE PROCESS, AND ALSO, SINCE
6:42:28PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR WAIVERS, THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A BURDEN
6:42:32PM -- BY WAIVERS, I MEAN THE SPECIAL USE SPECIFIC CRITERIA
6:42:35PM WAIVERS, THEY STILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE TO YOU THAT THEY
6:42:38PM MEET THE GENERAL CRITERIA TO GET THOSE WAIVERS.
6:42:40PM AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG, I'M HAPPY TO
6:42:44PM DO MY BEST TO TRY TO CLARIFY.
6:42:45PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT
6:42:49PM MR. COHEN SAID.
6:42:50PM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING LEGALLY.
6:42:52PM THE PROBABILITIES MAYBE, BUT THERE COULD BE SEVEN NEW
6:42:56PM MEMBERS HERE.
6:42:57PM THERE'S GOING TO BE FOUR FOR SURE.
6:42:58PM HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME IN NEW AND FACE THIS?
6:43:03PM >>REBECCA KERT: THE CITY COUNCIL, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE
6:43:07PM SAYING.
6:43:08PM I MIGHT NOT MAKE THE SAME CHOICE AS THE APPLICANT TONIGHT.
6:43:11PM PERHAPS WE COULD ASK THE APPLICANT BEFORE WE SPEND ANY MORE
6:43:14PM OF EVERYONE'S TIME HERE TONIGHT WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE
6:43:17PM WILLING TO WAIVE ANY PROCEDURAL PROCESSES THAT MAY COME FROM
6:43:19PM HAVING A DIFFERENT COUNCIL HEAR THIS CASE.
6:43:21PM THEY MAY NOT.
6:43:22PM MAYBE THEY PREFER A CONTINUANCE.
6:43:24PM AND THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE APPROPRIATE AS WELL.
6:43:30PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
6:43:33PM BECAUSE THIS IS NEW TO US, SO IT'S GOING TO BE NEW TO THE
6:43:37PM NEW COUNCIL.
6:43:38PM >>REBECCA KERT: CITY COUNCIL, I THINK IT'S LEGALLY
6:43:41PM APPROPRIATE FOR IT TO GO FORWARD ON FIRST READING TONIGHT.
6:43:46PM AND HAVE A NEW CITY COUNCIL PLAY -- APPLY THE SAME RULES IN
6:43:50PM SECOND READING, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING,
6:43:54PM AND I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT THE APPLICANT GETS ON THE
6:43:57PM RECORD THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AND THEY WANT TO PROCEED
6:43:59PM AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RAISE ANYTHING LATER THAT WE DID
6:44:02PM ANYTHING INAPPROPRIATE BY HAVING TWO DIFFERENT COUNCILS HEAR
6:44:05PM IT.
6:44:07PM >>FRANK REDDICK: APPLICANT?
6:44:10PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.
6:44:12PM JOHN GRANDOFF, SUITE 3700, BANK OF AMERICA PLAZA ON BEHALF
6:44:16PM OF BROOME CAPITAL.
6:44:18PM I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT MS. KERT HAS BEEN EXPLAINING AND
6:44:19PM ALSO WHAT MS. DOCK HAS BEEN EXPLAINING ALSO.
6:44:21PM UNDER THE CHARTER, THE CITY COUNCIL IS THE BODY THAT PASSES
6:44:24PM ON LAND USE MATTERS, WHETHER IT'S THIS SEVEN --
6:44:28PM [ NO ENCODER ]
6:45:08PM [ NO ENCODER ]
6:45:09PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: -- THIS WILL REQUIRE PROBABLY ANOTHER FULL
6:45:12PM PUBLIC HEARING TO BRING THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS UP TO
6:45:14PM SPEED.
6:45:14PM ALSO TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT MS. KERT SAID WITH REGARD TO THE
6:45:20PM CRITERIA, YOUR STAFF REPORT ON PAGE 5 AND 6 ONLY LISTS PART
6:45:26PM B -- ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE ACTUALLY ON PAGE 4 AND 5, THE
6:45:33PM 27129B, I'M GOING TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION ALSO TO 27132 IN
6:45:40PM THE STAFF REPORT, THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING INDIVIDUAL
6:45:43PM SPECIAL USES, AND THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THIS CASE WITH
6:45:45PM AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
6:45:47PM SO THAT BEING SAID I'M ALSO GOING TO DISTRIBUTE TO COUNCIL
6:45:51PM THE GENERAL STANDARDS UNDER SECTION 129, SUB-A IN ADDITION
6:45:57PM TO WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, AND ALSO MS. KERT MADE REFERENCE
6:45:59PM TO THE WAIVER CRITERIA FOR A SPECIAL USE ON A SITE PLAN
6:46:04PM CONTROLLED REZONING.
6:46:05PM SO I'M GOING TO PASS THAT OUT TO YOU.
6:46:08PM YOU'LL HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF YOU AS WELL.
6:46:11PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING.
6:46:13PM WHEN I WAS APPOINTED IN 2010, THERE WAS A SECOND READING ON
6:46:17PM MY FIRST MEETING.
6:46:19PM YES.
6:46:20PM AND I WAS GIVEN PILES AND PILES OF INFORMATION.
6:46:24PM AND THEN I WAS ASKED AT MY FIRST READING IF I WAS READY TO
6:46:29PM PROCEED.
6:46:29PM SO I THINK THE NEW COUNCIL CAN HANDLE IT.
6:46:38PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M NOT SAYING THEY CAN'T HANDLE IT, BUT
6:46:40PM YOU WERE ONE OF SEVEN.
6:46:42PM THEY ARE GOING TO BE FOUR OF SEVEN.
6:46:44PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: AT LEAST FOUR OF SEVEN, YEAH.
6:46:48PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
6:46:49PM LaCHONE DOCK, PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN.
6:46:51PM COUNCIL, THIS APPLICATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE DRC STAFF
6:46:55PM AND FINDS IT INCONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA
6:46:58PM LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
6:47:00PM SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BE MADE BETWEEN
6:47:02PM FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:47:04PM I HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH A LIST OF SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS.
6:47:08PM THIS LIST HAS ALSO BEEN PROVIDED TO THE APPLICANT, AND THEY
6:47:11PM DO AGREE TO MAKE THE REQUESTED CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND
6:47:14PM SECOND READING.
6:47:15PM THE CURRENT USE ON THE PROPERTY IS VACANT.
6:47:19PM THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE IS FOR AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE.
6:47:22PM THIS PROJECT PROPOSES AN 11-STORY STRUCTURE WITH THE FIRST
6:47:25PM FLOOR CONTAINING OFFICE AND LOBBY USES TOTALING 4,410 SQUARE
6:47:30PM FEET.
6:47:30PM THE SECOND THROUGH 10 FLOORS WOULD CONTAIN AC STORAGE UNITS
6:47:35PM FOR TOTAL OF 880 UNITS, CONTAINING 113,499 SQUARE FEET.
6:47:41PM THE 11th FLOOR WILL CONTAIN THE RECREATIONAL FACILITY USE,
6:47:46PM PRIVATE RECREATIONAL FACILITY, CONTAINING 7,336 SQUARE FEET.
6:47:51PM THE TOTAL BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE IS 125,245 SQUARE FEET.
6:47:56PM THERE ARE TWO SPECIAL USE WAIVERS REQUESTED WITH THIS
6:48:00PM PROJECT.
6:48:00PM AND THEY ARE UNDER SECTION 27-132.
6:48:04PM THE FIRST WAIVER IS TO ALLOW MIXED USE PROJECT WITHOUT
6:48:07PM RESIDENTIAL USE.
6:48:08PM THE SECOND WAIVER IS TO ALLOW THE AC STORAGE USE TO EXCEED
6:48:12PM THE PROJECT SQUARE FOOTAGE ALLOWED FROM A MINIMUM OF 40% TO
6:48:15PM 91%.
6:48:16PM COUNCIL, THIS SITE, AS YOU'RE AWARE OF IT, IS A BLOCK THAT
6:48:23PM HAS A DIFFERENT SHAPE.
6:48:24PM THIS IS A THREE-SIDED BLOCK, AND IT IS LOCATED ON THE
6:48:27PM NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE DISTRICT JUST SOUTH OF THE I-275
6:48:31PM AND I-4 CORRIDOR.
6:48:33PM THE SITE HAS JEFFERSON STREET TO THE WEST, ORANGE STREET IS
6:48:37PM SOUTH AND TO THE EAST AND LAUREL STREET IS TO THE SOUTH.
6:48:43PM THE PLAN PROPOSES VEHICULAR ACCESS WITH INGRESS AND EGRESS
6:48:47PM POINTS ON ORANGE STREET AND ON LAUREL STREET.
6:48:49PM THERE'S GROUND LEVEL PARKING PROPOSED WITH THE PARKING
6:48:52PM LOCATED ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE.
6:48:54PM AND THE SITE IS SURROUNDED WITH THE USE OF BURGER KING TO
6:48:59PM THE NORTH, THE DRIVE-IN RESTAURANT, THE PARK IS TO THE EAST,
6:49:03PM A CHURCH USE IS TO THE SOUTH AND THE CITY'S PARKING LOT IS
6:49:06PM TO THE WEST.
6:49:07PM COUNCIL, ON PAGE 2 OF THE STAFF REPORT, YOU'LL FIND STAFF'S
6:49:12PM FINDING.
6:49:15PM STAFF HAS THE FINDING OF INCONSISTENT RELATING TO THE
6:49:18PM SPECIAL USE WAIVERS REQUESTED.
6:49:20PM THE SPECIAL USE CRITERIA UNDER SECTION 27-132, THE FIRST
6:49:24PM CRITERIA FOR AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE STATES THAT THE USE MAY
6:49:27PM ONLY BE ESTABLISHED WITHIN A MIXED-USE PROJECT THAT CONTAINS
6:49:31PM AT LEAST TWO USES.
6:49:32PM ONE OF WHICH MUST BE RESIDENTIAL.
6:49:34PM AND THIS PROJECT DOES NOT PROPOSE A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT
6:49:37PM AND STAFF HAS CONCERNS REGARDING THAT, GIVEN THAT THE SITE
6:49:40PM IS A VACANT SITE.
6:49:42PM THE SECOND REQUEST OF WAIVER FOR SECTION 27-132, THE CODE
6:49:48PM STATES FOR AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE THAT THE USE SHALL NOT
6:49:51PM EXCEED 40% OF THE PROJECT SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE PROPOSED AC
6:49:56PM UNIT USE WOULD ACTUALLY COVER OVER 90%.
6:50:00PM OF THE BUILDING.
6:50:02PM STAFF HAS CONCERNS WITH THAT.
6:50:05PM AND I HAVE THE ZONING ATLAS FOR THE PROPERTY.

6:58:03PM I'M JOINED THIS EVENING BY JORDAN FARRALES WITH BROOME AND
6:58:07PM ALSO GREG ROTH, OUR ENGINEER.
6:58:11PM GREG IS GOING TO COME UP IN A MOMENT AND SHOW A SITE PLAN TO

6:58:17PM AND THEN JORDAN IS GOING TO COME AFTER GREG AND HE'LL

6:58:23PM AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE AND THE DEMAND DOWNTOWN.

6:58:29PM ARCHITECTS HAVE PREPARED OF THE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE AND
6:58:33PM THE PRIVATE RECREATIONAL FACILITY THAT WE'LL HAVE ON THE TOP
6:58:37PM FLOOR.
6:58:38PM YOU MAY REMEMBER, WE MET WITH YOU ALL BACK LAST SUMMER
6:58:41PM EXPLAINING THIS PROJECT, AND THE TWO WAIVERS WE'RE
6:58:45PM REQUESTING THIS EVENING.
6:58:46PM WE HAVE MET ALL OTHER SPECIAL USE GENERAL STANDARDS AND
6:58:50PM SPECIFIC STANDARDS EXCEPT FOR THE TWO WAIVERS.
6:58:53PM THOSE BEING THAT IT BE A RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE AND THAT
6:58:58PM RESIDENTIAL BE AT LEAST 60%.
6:59:00PM TO BEGIN, FIRST, I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THE REVISION SHEET
6:59:05PM THAT MS. DOCK PROVIDED IS ACCEPTABLE TO US, AND WE WILL
6:59:08PM PROVIDE THOSE REVISIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
6:59:16PM JORDAN, IF YOU'LL COME FORWARD AND BRING THE REDUCED SITE
6:59:19PM PLAN.
6:59:19PM HERE IS THE SITE PLAN THAT WE HAVE.
6:59:28PM GREG, YOU CAN JUST POINT OUT THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT
6:59:31PM ARE PROJECTED.
6:59:33PM >> GOOD EVENING.
6:59:33PM GREGORY ROTH WITH BOHLER ENGINEERING, 3820 NORTHDALE
6:59:37PM BOULEVARD.
6:59:41PM I'VE BEEN SWORN IN.
6:59:42PM AS A CIVIL ENGINEER, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO TALK ABOUT ON THIS
6:59:45PM PARTICULAR PROJECT.
6:59:45PM IT'S A THIRD OF AN ACRE.
6:59:50PM IT'S A TRIANGLE BOUND ON THREE SIDES BY PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
6:59:50PM MS. DOCK DID A FANTASTIC JOB, SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE
6:59:55PM REDUNDANT AND REPEAT SOME OF THE SITE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE
6:59:57PM HAD.
6:59:57PM FROM AN ACCESS STANDPOINT, WE DO HAVE AN ACCESS ON ORANGE
7:00:00PM STREET AND ANOTHER ACCESS ON LAUREL.
7:00:02PM WE'RE BOUND BY A COUPLE OF ONE-WAY ROADS.
7:00:06PM THAT WAS A BIT UNIQUE FROM OUR STANDPOINT.
7:00:07PM THE PARKING AND LOADING ARE ON THE GROUND FLOOR UNDERNEATH
7:00:10PM THE STRUCTURE, AND WE WILL BE MEETING THE STORMWATER
7:00:13PM REQUIREMENTS BY GOING UNDERGROUND WITH THE VAULT THAT'S ALSO
7:00:16PM UNDERNEATH THE STRUCTURE.
7:00:16PM FROM THAT STANDPOINT, AS MENTIONED THERE, WE'VE COMPLIED
7:00:23PM WITH AS MUCH AS WE COULD ON A TIGHT SITE.
7:00:25PM IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HERE FROM A SITE
7:00:28PM STANDPOINT.
7:00:28PM OTHERWISE, MR. GRANDOFF WILL TAKE IT AWAY.
7:00:31PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THANK YOU, GREG.
7:00:33PM JORDAN FARRALES, WILL YOU PLEASE COME FORWARD AND INTRODUCE
7:00:37PM YOURSELF.
7:00:38PM JORDAN WILL SHOW YOU THE ELEVATIONS HE'S PREPARED.
7:00:48PM >> MY NAME IS JORDAN FARRALES, 6911 -- ROAD, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
7:00:53PM I'M A DIRECTOR AT BROOME CAPITAL.
7:00:56PM THE ELEVATIONS THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU AS A PART OF YOUR
7:01:01PM PACKET THAT WAS PRESENTED TO STAFF WAS AN OLDER VERSION OF A
7:01:04PM FACADE THAT WE HAD SUBMITTED BACK IN DECEMBER, I BELIEVE.
7:01:08PM SINCE THEN, WE MET WITH THE UNITED RESIDENTS FOR BETTER
7:01:12PM NEIGHBORHOODS OF TAMPA BAY AS WELL AS THE DOWNTOWN RIVER
7:01:18PM ARTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
7:01:19PM WE MET WITH JASON BALL OF URBAN TAMPA BAY, AND WE MET WITH
7:01:24PM MIKE PAONESSA OF DRANA.
7:01:28PM WE SOURCED FEEDBACK FROM THEM ON OUR CURRENT DESIGN OF THE
7:01:33PM BUILDING.
7:01:33PM NEITHER HAD ANY PARTICULAR ISSUES WITH THE USES THAT WE WERE
7:01:37PM PROPOSING, HOWEVER, WE DID SOURCE VARIOUS FEEDBACK FROM THEM
7:01:41PM ON THE AESTHETICS OF THE BUILDING AND THE REVISED ELEVATIONS
7:01:45PM THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
7:01:48PM SUGGESTIONS.
7:01:51PM YOU-ALL HAVE COPIES.
7:01:52PM HERE'S A NEW 3D RENDERING FROM LAUREL FACING -- SOUTH FACING
7:02:08PM NORTH OF THE BUILDING.
7:02:09PM WE HAVE IN EXCESS OF 70% GLASS AND TRANSPARENCY ON THE FIRST
7:02:14PM FLOOR.
7:02:15PM WE HAVE THE NEW ROOFTOP MODERN LOOK TO ACCOMMODATE THE
7:02:20PM ROOFTOP EVENT SPACE.
7:02:23PM AND ENHANCE THAT FEATURE.
7:02:25PM ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE TRIANGULAR POINT THAT'S ON JEFFERSON
7:02:32PM AND ORANGE, WE HAVE AN ALL-GLASS, BASICALLY TRIANGULAR POINT
7:02:38PM TO ENHANCE THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING OFF
7:02:42PM THE HIGHWAY INTO DOWNTOWN TAMPA PAST THIS FACILITY.
7:02:47PM WE THINK THAT THE DESIGN ELEMENTS ARE SHARP.
7:02:50PM THEY ARE MODERN.
7:02:51PM THEY FIT IN WITH THE DESIGN PATTERN OF ALL THE OTHER
7:02:54PM HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE GOING IN DOWNTOWN.
7:02:56PM ADDITIONALLY, WE HIRED A DRONE PHOTOGRAPHER TO GO UP TO THE
7:03:03PM HEIGHT OF THE 11th FLOOR, AND TAKE 360-DEGREE PHOTOS FROM
7:03:08PM THAT ELEVATION, AND WE SUPERIMPOSED THOSE INTO A RENDERING
7:03:13PM OF THE ROOFTOP EVENT SPACE FROM THE TOP FLOOR.
7:03:16PM SO THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE OUTDOOR DECK ON THAT
7:03:20PM ROOFTOP EVENT SPACE WITH THE CEMETERY AND THE CHURCH.
7:03:26PM THERE ARE GREAT VIEWS INTO THE SKYLINE OF DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:03:30PM THIS IS AN EVENING SHOT HERE.
7:03:34PM AND THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE EVENTS, WEDDINGS,
7:03:38PM BIRTHDAYS, QUINCEAÑERAS, THAT SORT OF THING.
7:03:45PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THANK YOU, JORDAN.
7:03:46PM AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE LAST RENDERING WE SHOWED, WE WANTED
7:03:49PM TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT DOWNTOWN.
7:03:52PM TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE RECREATIONAL
7:03:57PM FACILITY THAT'S ON TOP OF THE BECK BUILDING NEAR ARMATURE
7:03:59PM WORKS.
7:04:00PM NOW, WE WANTED PEOPLE TO ONE DAY SAY, HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE
7:04:04PM NEW BUILDING DOWNTOWN?
7:04:05PM IT'S THE ONE WITH THE PRIVATE RECREATION FACILITY ON TOP
7:04:08PM THAT'S GOT THE BEAUTIFUL WESTERN VIEW.
7:04:09PM AND WE THINK THAT'S THE STATEMENT THAT WOULD BE MADE WITH
7:04:12PM THIS PROJECT.
7:04:12PM THE SPECIAL USE CRITERIA IN THE CODE HAS BEEN MET IN SEVERAL
7:04:24PM STANDARDS.
7:04:24PM I'LL SUMMARIZE THEM FOR YOU ON YOUR STAFF REPORT ON PAGE 4,
7:04:27PM YOU HAVE TO HAVE INGRESS AND EGRESS, OFF-STREET PARKING AND
7:04:31PM LOADING, REFUSE AND SERVICE AREAS, LIGHTING, UTILITIES,
7:04:36PM DRAINAGE.
7:04:37PM WE'VE MET THOSE STANDARDS.
7:04:39PM THEN THE STANDARD FOR AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE DOWNTOWN ARE
7:04:44PM AS FOLLOWS: ON PAGE 5, THE FIRST STANDARD WE'RE ASKING FOR
7:04:48PM A WAIVER.
7:04:49PM IT MUST BE TWO USES, ONE OF WHICH MUST BE RESIDENTIAL.
7:04:52PM THE SECOND STANDARD IS IT SHALL NOT EXCEED 40% OF THE
7:04:56PM PROJECT SQUARE FOOTAGE.
7:04:57PM IN OTHER WORDS, 6 OF 10 FLOORS MUST BE RESIDENTIAL.
7:05:02PM AND WE'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER OF THAT.
7:05:05PM CONTINUING, THE CODE SAYS THE USE MUST BE INTEGRATED WITH
7:05:08PM STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING.
7:05:10PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD.
7:05:11PM NO CUSTOMER-RELATED BUSINESS OR RETAIL OPERATIONS SHALL BE
7:05:14PM PERMITTED.
7:05:15PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD.
7:05:16PM THE USE MAY BE ONLY LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
7:05:19PM ON PROPERTY NORTH OF HARRISON STREET.
7:05:22PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD.
7:05:23PM AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE DRAFTERS OF THE CODE
7:05:26PM DECIDED TO MAKE A GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATION OF AIR-CONDITIONED
7:05:31PM STORAGE AND THEY SAID NORTH OF HARRISON STREET.
7:05:33PM WE HAVE DONE THAT.
7:05:35PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD.
7:05:36PM SECOND, THE USE SHALL NOT BE LOCATED AT GROUND LEVEL EXCEPT
7:05:39PM THE ENTRANCE AND THE LOADING FUNCTIONS CAN OCCUR AT GROUND
7:05:42PM LEVEL.
7:05:42PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD ON THE TOP OF PAGE 6.
7:05:45PM THE STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, IS
7:05:48PM PROHIBITED, OBVIOUSLY.
7:05:50PM WE'VE MET THAT STANDARD.
7:05:51PM THE CODE REQUIRES SPECIAL USE PERMISSION -- EXCUSE ME,
7:06:01PM PROCEDURES, WHICH APPLY IN RELATION TO THE USE, OCCUPANCY,
7:06:05PM LOCATION, CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN, CHARACTER, SCALE, MANNER OF
7:06:10PM OPERATION, OR THE NECESSITY OF MAKING COMPLEX OR UNUSUAL
7:06:13PM DETERMINATIONS.
7:06:15PM AND TO ENSURE CONSIDERATION OF PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES IN
7:06:17PM EACH CASE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SUCH CONDITIONS AND
7:06:21PM SAFEGUARDS AS A REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR THE PROTECTION OF
7:06:23PM THE PUBLIC INTEREST GENERALLY AND OF ADJACENT PROPERTIES,
7:06:28PM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
7:06:30PM THAT IS THE INTENT OF THE SPECIAL USE REGULATION.
7:06:33PM WE HAVE HAD NO OPPOSITION FROM ANY NEIGHBORS ON THIS
7:06:36PM PROJECT.
7:06:37PM AND I'LL SUBMIT TO YOU THAT IN THE DOWNTOWN CBD DISTRICT,
7:06:43PM THESE USES ARE PERMITTED, AND THEY ARE FREQUENTLY FOUND TO
7:06:51PM BE SPECIAL USES AROUND THE CITY.
7:06:54PM CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITY, HOTELS AND MOTELS.
7:06:56PM CLUBS.
7:06:58PM PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.
7:07:00PM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES IS YOUR CLASSIC SPECIAL USE BECAUSE
7:07:04PM OF ALL THE EXTERIOR EFFECTS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
7:07:10PM CONSUMPTION.
7:07:11PM WE HAD A HEARING THIS EVENING ABOUT ALCOHOLIC SPECIAL USE.
7:07:13PM YOU'LL SEE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE IS A SPECIAL USE.
7:07:16PM AND THEN BANK, BANK DRIVE-IN, HELIPORT, KENNEL, MEDICAL
7:07:20PM MARIJUANA DISPENSARY, RADIO/TV STATION, RESTAURANTS, ALL ARE
7:07:24PM PERMITTED USES DOWNTOWN.
7:07:27PM MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY, PERMITTED USE DOWNTOWN.
7:07:30PM HOWEVER, THERE'S BEEN A CARVE-OUT DOWNTOWN.
7:07:33PM AND THE CARVE-OUTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
7:07:37PM SALES, NUMBER ONE.
7:07:38PM NUMBER TWO, AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
7:07:42PM THAT'S US.
7:07:43PM AND NUMBER THREE, RESTAURANT DRIVE-IN, WHICH WAS THE BURGER
7:07:47PM KING.
7:07:47PM SO DOWNTOWN THERE ARE ONLY THREE SPECIAL USE 2s THAT COME
7:07:54PM BEFORE YOU.
7:07:54PM EVERY OTHER SPECIAL USE IN THE CITY IS A PERMITTED USE
7:07:57PM DOWNTOWN.
7:07:57PM SO YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT PUBLIC HARM OR PUBLIC
7:08:02PM SAFETY ISSUE WERE WE TRYING TO REGULATE WHEN WE SAID YOU
7:08:06PM HAVE TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL, AND IT HAS TO BE AT LEAST 40%?
7:08:11PM I BELIEVE THAT IS AN ILLOGICAL CONTROL OF THE USE, AND IT
7:08:19PM MAKES NO SENSE GIVEN THE MAP THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO YOU AS
7:08:25PM TO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:08:27PM IT IS REPLETE WITH RESIDENTIAL USE.
7:08:35PM HERE'S THE PROPERTY RIGHT HERE.
7:08:36PM THIS TRIANGULAR PIECE.
7:08:37PM IT'S ONLY 13,000 SQUARE FEET.
7:08:39PM THE RESIDENTIAL USE HAS TAKEN CARE OF ITSELF DOWNTOWN.
7:08:43PM WHAT HAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF ITSELF IS AIR-CONDITIONED
7:08:47PM STORAGE.
7:08:48PM MR. FARRALES AND HIS COMPANY HAVE MADE THE STUDY.
7:08:50PM THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A MARKET DEMAND FOR
7:08:53PM AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE ABOVE AND BEYOND THIS ARTIFICIAL
7:08:55PM RESTRICTION THAT'S IN THE CODE.
7:08:57PM AND WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE A MIXED USE WHICH WILL
7:09:02PM INCLUDE THIS AS AN ADJUNCT TO OUR PROPERTY TO MAKE IT A
7:09:06PM MIXED USE OR MAKE IT A COMPELLING SITE THAT PEOPLE WILL BE
7:09:09PM PROUD ABOUT TO COME TO TAMPA AND WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT,
7:09:13PM HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE NEW BUILDING DOWNTOWN THAT HAS THE
7:09:15PM BEAUTIFUL FACILITY ON THE TOP?
7:09:16PM PARDON ME FOR ONE MOMENT.
7:09:20PM I WANT TO SUMMARIZE MY NOTES.
7:09:24PM JORDAN PREPARED ANOTHER STUDY AS PART OF HIS RESEARCH, AND
7:09:28PM HE SUMMARIZED THIS IN AN E-MAIL TO ME.
7:09:32PM AND HE NAMED SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ALL
7:09:36PM VERY FAMILIAR TO YOU, I'M SURE.
7:09:38PM THE HEIGHTS AND THE PEARL WHICH IS NORTH OF THE HEIGHTS ON
7:09:41PM PALM.
7:09:41PM CRESCENT, RIVERWALK, 915 FRANKLIN GOING ON AND ON AND ON.
7:09:46PM YOU'LL SEE THE TYPE OF USE, BUT IN UNIT COUNT, JUST COMING
7:09:50PM ON BOARD, 3500 UNITS AND THEN IN SQUARE FOOTAGE COUNT,
7:09:55PM NEARLY A MILLION SQUARE FEET OF -- SQUARE FOOTAGE.
7:10:01PM AND WE HAVE NO AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE IN THIS AREA.
7:10:05PM THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MARKET DEMAND, AND THE CODE
7:10:12PM GIVES YOU THE AUTHORITY TO ADDRESS THAT MARKET DEMAND.
7:10:17PM THE STAFF REPORT PREPARED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON PAGE
7:10:28PM THREE IN THE MIDDLE, POLICY 3.1.16, CBD REDEVELOPMENT, THIS
7:10:33PM IS ONE-THIRD OF AN ACRE, SHOULD BE A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL,
7:10:37PM EMPLOYMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT USES WITH GROUND FLOOR RETAIL
7:10:39PM AND SERVICE USES AT KEY NODES AND ALONG MAJOR DOWNTOWN
7:10:43PM CORRIDORS.
7:10:43PM SO I ASK YOU, SO WHERE DOES THE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE GO?
7:10:48PM IT GOES NORTH OF HARRISON STREET.
7:10:50PM THAT'S WHAT THE CODE SAID.
7:10:51PM WE'RE GOING THERE.
7:10:52PM WE SIMPLY NEED TWO SIMPLE WAIVERS FROM YOU THIS EVENING AS
7:10:55PM TO THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
7:10:55PM I'LL SUMMARIZE.
7:11:01PM THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE STAFF REPORT OF THE PLANNING
7:11:07PM COMMISSION ON PAGE 4 SAYS, THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED
7:11:10PM SPECIAL USE THAT IS PREDOMINANTLY STORAGE WILL BE MOVING
7:11:13PM AWAY FROM POLICY DIRECTION OUTLINED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
7:11:16PM PLAN.
7:11:16PM WE'RE SIMPLY TALKING ABOUT 14,000 SQUARE FEET.
7:11:19PM THIS WILL USE MASS TRANSIT.
7:11:22PM PEOPLE WILL COME DOWNTOWN TO SEE THIS FACILITY, ESPECIALLY
7:11:26PM ON THE TOP FLOOR.
7:11:27PM WE SIMPLY ASK THAT YOU PROVIDE RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
7:11:30PM THE SAME BENEFIT THAT OTHERS HAVE.
7:11:33PM I HAVE A LETTER FROM THE RESIDENTS OF FRANKLIN STREET IN
7:11:40PM WHICH THEY STATE, DEAR CITY COUNCIL, THE RESIDENCES OF
7:11:43PM FRANKLIN STREET IS A CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION OF 40 OWNER
7:11:47PM OCCUPIED UNITS AT THE NORTHERN END OF DOWNTOWN.
7:11:49PM THIS IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF WHERE FLY USED TO BE.
7:11:53PM A FEW BLOCKS AWAY.
7:11:55PM THE PROJECT REFERENCED ABOVE IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OUR
7:11:57PM RESIDENCES AND IF APPROVED WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR
7:11:59PM NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:12:00PM CONSEQUENTLY, THE RESIDENTS OF FRANKLIN STREET CONDOMINIUM
7:12:03PM RECENTLY REVIEWED THE SPECIAL USE SITE PLAN FOR THIS
7:12:07PM FACILITY.
7:12:07PM THE BOARD'S IS THAT SUCH A FACILITY WOULD BE AN ASSET TO OUR
7:12:11PM NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESIDENTS DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR
7:12:14PM QUALITY STORAGE SPACE IN THE NORTH END OF DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:12:18PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:12:19PM THE PLANNED MEETING SPACE ON THE TOP FLOOR WOULD ALSO BE A
7:12:23PM VALUED ADDITION TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
7:12:24PM THE RESIDENTS OF FRANKLIN STREET CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
7:12:27PM FAVORS THE PROJECT AS PUT FORTH IN THE APPLICATION AND
7:12:30PM SUPPORTS ITS APPROVAL, SIGNED BY JOHN CHRISTENSEN, BOARD
7:12:35PM PRESIDENT.
7:12:35PM I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR WAIVER OF THESE TWO ITEMS THIS
7:12:40PM EVENING AND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE SITE PLAN.
7:12:44PM I WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
7:12:45PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:12:46PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
7:12:47PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL?
7:12:53PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. GRANDOFF, YOU TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE
7:12:56PM ZONING IDEAS.
7:12:58PM WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING HERE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION
7:13:01PM ALSO.
7:13:01PM I MEAN, WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER TO THEIR INCONSISTENCY FINDING
7:13:08PM BASED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?
7:13:12PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: I BELIEVE IT'S NARROW.
7:13:14PM I THINK IT NEEDS A BROADER VIEW OF THE MARKET.
7:13:17PM YES, YOU DO NEED TRANSIT.
7:13:18PM AND YOU NEED TRANSIT FACILITIES, BUT TALKING ABOUT 14,000
7:13:23PM SQUARE FEET OF TRIANGULAR PROPERTY, WHICH IS ON TWO ONE-WAY
7:13:28PM STREETS.
7:13:29PM THE MARKET HAS TESTED THIS PROPERTY.
7:13:31PM AND IT HAS NOT COME TO THE MARKET FOR ANY OTHER USE, AND
7:13:34PM THIS IS A NATURAL USE.
7:13:35PM I BELIEVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY
7:13:39PM IS VERY NARROW-MINDED.
7:13:40PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: DO YOU THINK IT'S NARROW-MINDED BECAUSE THE
7:13:43PM PLAN THAT THEY HAVE IN PLACE NOW HASN'T BEEN CHANGED TO MEET
7:13:48PM SOME OF THE NEEDS OF SOME OF THE TRANSIT THAT MIGHT BE
7:13:51PM COMING TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA BY VIRTUE OF WHAT'S -- BY
7:13:55PM REFERENDUM, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING, IS IT POSSIBLE
7:13:58PM THAT THEY MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE THEIR CODE -- I MEAN, THEIR
7:14:01PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?
7:14:02PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: I AGREE.
7:14:03PM AND ALSO, I THINK IT FAILS TO CONSIDERATE SIZE -- CONSIDER
7:14:08PM THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY.
7:14:09PM YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY WHEN APPLYING
7:14:10PM THE PLAN.
7:14:11PM THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IN THIS PROJECT.
7:14:15PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: WHEN IT COMES TO T.O.D. AND OTHER
7:14:18PM TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS, I GUESS THEY HAVE A RANGE OF
7:14:21PM DIFFERENT CHANGES OR KIND OF A -- I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE
7:14:25PM WORD THEY USE FOR IT, BUT IT'S LIKE A SURROUNDING AREA THAT
7:14:28PM CHANGES THE ENTIRE AREA BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT'S
7:14:31PM TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT THERE.
7:14:33PM MEANING THAT A SPACE EVEN THE SIZE OF YOUR CLIENT'S SPACE
7:14:38PM COULD BE TRANSFORMED INTO SOMETHING OTHER THAN STORAGE.
7:14:42PM I MEAN, THAT'S THE IDEA BEHIND T.O.D., IN MY MIND.
7:14:46PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: RIGHT.
7:14:47PM BUT THAT'S A MARKET ISSUE, WHETHER THE MARKET WILL COME TO
7:14:50PM THE PROPERTY AND WANT TO PUT IT TO A T.O.D. USE, IT HAS NOT.
7:14:56PM IN FACT, THE MARKET HAS COME AND SAID THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT
7:14:59PM AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
7:15:00PM I BELIEVE THOSE TWO CRITERIA YOU'RE WAIVING ARE ARBITRARY.
7:15:04PM WHAT'S THE RATIONALE BEHIND THEM?
7:15:06PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
7:15:07PM WELL, WE'RE NOT -- YOU'RE LOOKING TO WAIVE THOSE ASPECTS, SO
7:15:10PM CALLING IT ARBITRARY IS A DIFFERENT ARGUMENT FOR A DIFFERENT
7:15:14PM TIME.
7:15:14PM IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU WANT US TO AGREE TO THE WAIVER,
7:15:17PM CALLING IT ARBITRARY IS NOT REALLY A GOOD ARGUMENT IN MY
7:15:20PM MIND, OKAY?
7:15:21PM SO YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
7:15:25PM IF YOU WANT US TO WAIVE IT, DON'T CALL IT ARBITRARY, BECAUSE
7:15:28PM IT'S NOT ARBITRARY; IT'S BASED ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
7:15:28PM ZONING ORDINANCES.
7:15:29PM THANK YOU.
7:15:33PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
7:15:37PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY -- I KIND OF SMILED
7:15:41PM WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THE RESIDENTIAL, BECAUSE MY FIRST NOTE
7:15:43PM WAS RESIDENTIAL.
7:15:44PM AND I THINK THE MARKET IS GETTING OVERHEATED MYSELF.
7:15:50PM I KNOW THAT WE HAD BIG DEVELOPERS COME IN HERE TO TELL US IT
7:15:56PM WAS OVERHEATED IN LOS ANGELES AND IN MIAMI AND THEY WERE NOT
7:15:59PM GETTING THE BIG DOLLARS THAT THEY GET FOR THESE BIG
7:16:04PM PROJECTS, AND THAT WAS TOLD TO US MONTHS AGO.
7:16:07PM SO WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT, I FOUND
7:16:12PM THAT INTERESTING BECAUSE THE NUMBERS THAT YOU SAID THAT ARE
7:16:18PM ALREADY THERE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE SAME -- NOW THE
7:16:23PM 40%/90% STORAGE THAT ONE -- THAT PART YOU'RE SAYING THE
7:16:31PM MARKET -- WHAT YOU'RE INDICATING IS THAT THE MARKET IS
7:16:34PM REQUIRING OR NEEDS IT OR WANTS IT.
7:16:38PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MAY I RESPOND?
7:16:39PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: THE SAME THING, YOU KNOW, THE ODD SHAPE OF
7:16:42PM THE PROPERTY.
7:16:44PM WE HAD THAT SAME ARGUMENT WITH BURGER KING.
7:16:46PM NOBODY, THAT PROPERTY WAS FOR SALE FOR YEARS AND NOBODY
7:16:50PM BOUGHT IT UNTIL BURGER KING CAME.
7:16:53PM AND THEN WE HAD THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP COME IN HERE AND
7:16:56PM SAY, THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF RESTAURANT WE WANT DOWNTOWN.
7:16:58PM I SAID I'M SORRY, BUT PEOPLE HAVE TO EAT AT A REASONABLE
7:17:06PM AMOUNT.
7:17:06PM DOWNTOWN CANNOT BE FOUR-STAR RESTAURANTS.
7:17:09PM AND IT'S PROVEN TO BE A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSET.
7:17:16PM FROM THE RENDERINGS HERE, OF COURSE, THESE ARE RENDERINGS, I
7:17:24PM TEND TO LEAN TOWARD YOUR ARGUMENT IN THAT THE RESIDENTIAL
7:17:32PM COMPONENT, IT ISN'T ARBITRARY, BUT IS IT REALLY NECESSARY?
7:17:38PM THAT'S THE FIRST THING I WROTE DOWN WAS RESIDENTIAL WITH A
7:17:44PM QUESTION MARK.
7:17:45PM YOU MADE MY ARGUMENT FOR ME.
7:17:47PM THANK YOU.
7:17:49PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THANK YOU.
7:17:50PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:17:50PM ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
7:17:53PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, JUST AN OBSERVATION.
7:17:56PM I'M NOT AGAINST OR FOR IT.
7:17:58PM I'M LOOKING AT IT, IT'S NOT MEETING THE REQUIREMENT OF THE
7:18:01PM RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.
7:18:02PM I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
7:18:04PM LET ME SAY WHY.
7:18:05PM THIS CITY IS GOING TO GROW BY 40%.
7:18:08PM THERE'S 147 PEOPLE A DAY MOVING INTO THE TAMPA AREA.
7:18:12PM I'M NOT SAYING TOTALLY IN TAMPA, THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
7:18:16PM WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT IF YOU GO BACK JUST 15, 20 YEARS, I
7:18:21PM THINK THERE WERE 600, 700 PEOPLE LIVING IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:18:26PM I THINK NOW, I FORGET WHAT THE FIGURE IS, BUT IT'S ABOUT 10
7:18:29PM OR 12 THOUSAND, AND IF I REMEMBER THE FIGURES I SAW THERE
7:18:33PM REAL QUICKLY, 901,000 SQUARE FOOT OF DWELLINGS WERE
7:18:40PM RESIDENTIAL USE, 3501 UNIT OR 3400, SOMETHING LIKE THAT
7:18:46PM UNITS.
7:18:46PM THAT WOULD NOT EQUAL THE EXPECTATION THAT'S COMING TO
7:18:50PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:18:50PM WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THAT ON THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING TO INCREASE
7:18:58PM IT SO WE CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WATER, AND EXPAND THE
7:19:02PM WATER PLANT, THE TERTIARY TREATMENT PLANT DOES NOT HAVE TO
7:19:06PM BE EXPANDED BECAUSE IT HAS CAPACITY.
7:19:08PM BUT IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT UP TO TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS TO MAKE
7:19:11PM THE COST OF DOING -- WE HAVE TO DO -- WATER MUCH SAFER AND
7:19:16PM MORE ECONOMICAL FOR THE TAXPAYERS LONG TERM.
7:19:20PM IT IS INCUMBENT THAT WE CONTINUE TO BUILD RESIDENTS IN THE
7:19:25PM CITY, NOT ONLY IN DOWNTOWN, BUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
7:19:28PM UNLESS WE'RE ALL WRONG, AND THAT MEANS THE PLANNING
7:19:32PM COMMISSION, THE PEOPLE IN THE WATER, THE PEOPLE IN TERTIARY
7:19:37PM TREATMENT, WE DON'T DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM.
7:19:39PM TAMPA WAS A SLEEPY CITY.
7:19:46PM THEY COME HERE FOR ONLY TWO REASONS.
7:19:50PM YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
7:19:51PM THERE ARE ONLY TWO SEASONS HERE: CHRISTMAS AND SUMMER.
7:19:54PM THAT'S HOW IT IS.
7:19:58PM WE HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AND WHAT'S
7:20:00PM COMING NOW IS THE SEEDS THAT WERE PLANTED BY INDIVIDUALS
7:20:04PM THAT ARE NO LONGER HERE 20, 30, 40 YEARS AGO, AND THAT'S
7:20:08PM OPENED THE DOOR TO THE GATEWAY TO HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE AND
7:20:14PM A NICE LIVING.
7:20:15PM LOW CRIME COMPARED TO OTHERS.
7:20:20PM AFFORDABILITY, NOT FASHIONABLE.
7:20:22PM IT'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE, BUT YOU COMPARE IT TO OTHER
7:20:25PM CITIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IT'S MORE ACCEPTABLE HERE
7:20:28PM THAN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
7:20:29PM AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M NOT AGAINST THE PROJECT,
7:20:33PM BUT I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE RESIDENTIAL ANYWHERE
7:20:36PM IN THE CITY BECAUSE WITHOUT THIS HART BEING DOWNTOWN, THE
7:20:41PM CITY IS NOT GOING TO FUNCTION WELL.
7:20:44PM AND THIS IS -- IT'S ALREADY BEEN SPREADING OUT.
7:20:47PM AND I BELIEVE ALL THE FIGURES THAT WERE PUT UP.
7:20:50PM HOWEVER, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT, EVEN
7:20:53PM AROUND DALE MABRY, EVEN AROUND THE AIRPORT, THERE ARE ALL
7:20:58PM TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS BEEN BUILT, MULTIFAMILY,
7:21:01PM APARTMENTS, YOU NAME IT, THEY GOT IT.
7:21:03PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT CASS STREET, WHEN YOU LOOK AT CYPRESS
7:21:05PM STREET, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ANYTHING LEADING INTO DOWNTOWN, THE
7:21:09PM MAIN THING IS RESIDENTIAL.
7:21:11PM AND, YES, THEY NEED -- THEY NEED AREAS TO GO SHOPPING IN,
7:21:15PM BUT WITHOUT MASS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING THERE, THOSE
7:21:18PM COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES CANNOT MAKE IT.
7:21:20PM SO THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL FIRST AND THEN
7:21:24PM COME TO THE BUSINESS COMPONENT.
7:21:25PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
7:21:30PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: I KNOW THE NUMBER, AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY
7:21:33PM ATTENTION THIS AFTERNOON.
7:21:34PM OVER 600,000 PEOPLE WILL BE MOVING INTO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
7:21:37PM IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS.
7:21:39PM SO, YES, WE NEED RESIDENTIAL.
7:21:42PM HOWEVER, THE REASON THAT THERE'S RESIDENTIAL ALONG BOYSCOUT
7:21:48PM AND THE REST OF IT, BECAUSE THERE WAS ZERO RESIDENTIAL, AND
7:21:50PM WE HAD 50 TO 70 THOUSAND PEOPLE COMING INTO WESTSHORE TO
7:21:54PM WORK.
7:21:54PM THEY HAD NOWHERE TO LIVE.
7:21:56PM SO WE APPROVED MANY, MANY, MANY UNITS THERE IN THE PAST --
7:22:02PM SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, WHICH IS ALMOST NINE YEARS.
7:22:04PM HOWEVER, I DO -- NOW, WE ARE LOOKING AT A TOWER THAT'S GOING
7:22:15PM UP ALONG THE RIVER NEXT TO THE STRAZ CENTER THAT'S ON A
7:22:19PM PARCEL OF LAND THAT'S THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP, AND IT'S
7:22:23PM 40 STORIES OR 30 STORIES, WHATEVER THEY PROPOSE, WHICH THEY
7:22:26PM STILL HAVEN'T BUILT AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY EVER WILL.
7:22:31PM SO BECAUSE THE FINANCING, THE FINANCING IS CRUCIAL IN ALL OF
7:22:36PM THIS.
7:22:38PM YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT, BUT I
7:22:45PM DON'T -- I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PARCEL AND THE NEED FOR
7:22:56PM THE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
7:22:58PM IN DOWNTOWN.
7:23:00PM WE HAVE ALL THESE UNITS, AND THERE'S NOWHERE TO PUT ALL YOUR
7:23:05PM STUFF YOU SAVE.
7:23:08PM SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU.
7:23:10PM >>FRANK REDDICK: WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
7:23:12PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MR. FARRALES RESPOND TO MR. MIRANDA'S
7:23:15PM QUESTION ABOUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE UNIT COUNT?
7:23:18PM >>FRANK REDDICK: IF HE BE BRIEF.
7:23:21PM >> I ACTUALLY JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY ONE THING ON THE E-MAIL
7:23:25PM WHERE I HAD THE UNIT COUNT OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS COMING
7:23:28PM ONLINE IN DOWNTOWN AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
7:23:30PM THAT'S JUST OUTSIDE OF THE STRATEGIC PROPERTY PARTNERS
7:23:34PM PROJECT, WHICH ALSO INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 3500 RESIDENTIAL
7:23:38PM UNITS.
7:23:38PM SO IN TOTAL, THERE'S 7,000 PLUS RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN
7:23:43PM PLANNING OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR TAMPA HEIGHTS AND THE
7:23:46PM COMMERCIAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
7:23:49PM AND WITH THE TAMPA AVERAGE -- THAT'S JUST WITHIN A ONE-MILE
7:23:52PM RADIUS OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH ACCORDING TO ESRI HAS
7:23:57PM A POPULATION WITHIN THE ONE-MILE RADIUS OF 15,800.
7:24:01PM WITH THE AVERAGE TAMPA HOUSEHOLD SIZE OF 1.9, THOSE 7,000
7:24:06PM UNITS ARE GOING TO ADD ANOTHER 13,300 PEOPLE, NEARLY
7:24:10PM DOUBLING THE POPULATION OF DOWNTOWN IN THE NEAR TERM.
7:24:13PM AND THERE'S ONLY ONE SELF-STORAGE FACILITY WITH LESS THAN
7:24:17PM 20,000 SQUARE FEET IN CHANNELSIDE TO FIT THE NEED OF THOSE
7:24:22PM PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOVING IN THERE.
7:24:24PM LAST YEAR ALONE, AGES 20 TO 34, THERE WAS 17.8 MILLION
7:24:30PM PEOPLE WHO MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
7:24:35PM AND ONE IN THREE OF THOSE PEOPLE USED SELF-STORAGE AS A PART
7:24:39PM OF THEIR MOVE.
7:24:40PM NOT ONLY IS THIS PROVIDING AN OUTLET FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
7:24:43PM MOVING TO TAMPA, WHICH RANKS 7th IN NET MIGRATION FROM
7:24:47PM 2015 THROUGH 2018, IT'S AN ACCESSORY TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND
7:24:50PM FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MOVING TO THE CITY, TRANSITIONING FOR
7:24:53PM JOBS AND WHATNOT.
7:24:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ARE YOU SAYING THEN THAT TAMPA HAS
7:24:58PM REACHED THE DOWNTOWN AREA WITH THE 3500 AND 3500, 7,000, THE
7:25:03PM MAXIMUM THAT YOU THINK IS NEEDED?
7:25:05PM >> NO.
7:25:06PM I'M JUST STATING THAT THERE'S 7,000 UNITS COMING ONLINE.
7:25:10PM AND THERE'S -- WHICH WILL NEARLY DOUBLE THE POPULATION,
7:25:14PM WHICH JUST FURTHER INCREASES THE DEMAND FOR SELF-STORAGE
7:25:18PM JUST DUE TO THE MIGRATORY NATURE OF PEOPLE MOVING INTO THE
7:25:21PM CITY.
7:25:21PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION, SIR.
7:25:23PM ANY OF THE APARTMENT UNITS HAVING THEIR OWN SELF-STORAGE
7:25:26PM ANYWHERE?
7:25:27PM >> I'M NOT SURE WHICH PROJECTS ARE AND WHICH AREN'T.
7:25:30PM I JUST KNOW THAT AS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPER OURSELVES WE
7:25:34PM BUILD TOWNHOMES AND OTHER SINGLE-FAMILY, WE'RE CONSTANTLY
7:25:38PM TRYING TO INCREASE THE DENSITY TO OVERCOMPENSATE FOR THE
7:25:41PM INCREASING COST OF LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS WITH TARIFFS
7:25:44PM AND WHATNOT.
7:25:45PM SO WE'RE SHRINKING THE UNITS, INCREASING THE LIVING AREA,
7:25:49PM AND SHRINKING THE STORAGE SPACE.
7:25:54PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ALL RIGHT.
7:25:54PM TAMPA IS STILL THE LARGEST CITY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI IN
7:25:57PM GROWTH.
7:25:58PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT, SIR.
7:25:59PM CAN I HAVE THE APPLICANT REMOVE YOUR --
7:26:11PM >> I'M SORRY.
7:26:11PM WHAT WAS THAT?
7:26:12PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THE EASEL.
7:26:21PM >> AM I ALLOWED TO READ?
7:26:23PM MY NAME IS BRIAN RAY.
7:26:25PM I ACTUALLY LIVE IN ORLANDO, NOT IN TAMPA.
7:26:30PM GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
7:26:32PM AS THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES, WHICH ARE SLATED FOR
7:26:36PM THE MIXED-USE PROJECT BY BROOME CAPITAL, I'M REQUESTING YOU
7:26:39PM APPROVE THIS PROJECT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
7:26:41PM SELF-STORAGE IS A PERMITTED USE PER TABLE 184 OF THE CITY'S
7:26:46PM ZONING CODE AND GENERATES A VERY LOW VOLUME OF VEHICULAR
7:26:49PM ACTIVITY, WHICH IS BENEFICIAL REGARDING MINIMIZING ROADWAY
7:26:51PM CONGESTION.
7:26:52PM SELF-STORAGE IS A FUNCTIONAL NEED OF THE COMMUNITY, AS
7:26:56PM JORDAN JUST SPOKE OF, BECAUSE THERE ARE, IN FACT, OVER 7,000
7:27:00PM RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT ARE PLANNED TO BE BUILT WITHIN THE
7:27:03PM NEXT SEVERAL YEARS HERE OF WHICH I HAVE SOME DOCUMENTATION
7:27:07PM TO ALLOCATE THAT THAT IS ACTUALLY CORRECT NUMBERS.
7:27:10PM AND WHEN THESE ARE BUILT ALL WITHIN APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE
7:27:13PM OF THE SITE, THOSE UNITS ARE GOING TO NEED SELF-STORAGE.
7:27:19PM SIR, YOU ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER SELF-STORAGE IS
7:27:22PM INTEGRATED INTO SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS.
7:27:24PM YES, IT IS, A VERY MINUTE AMOUNT.
7:27:26PM THERE IS A LADY HERE THAT WAS GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF
7:27:28PM THE PROJECT, AND SHE CAN CONTRIBUTE THAT, YES, SOME IS, BUT
7:27:33PM THE COST IS USUALLY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT THAT A SELF-STORAGE
7:27:36PM FACILITY LIKE JORDAN BRINGS --
7:27:37PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I THEN TURN THIS AROUND ON YOU, SIR, AND
7:27:43PM SAY THAT THE SAME THING APPLIES TO SELF-STORAGE AND
7:27:45PM APARTMENTS.
7:27:45PM THE COST OF THE LAND IS MORE APPLICABLE TO BUILD STORAGE
7:27:50PM THAN APARTMENTS.
7:27:50PM IS IT TRUE OR NOT?
7:27:51PM >> THAT THE COST OF THE LAND IS WHAT?
7:27:52PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE LAND -- AND
7:27:54PM I'M NOT AGAINST THIS PROJECT.
7:27:55PM BUT YOU MADE A STATEMENT -- DOUBLED IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS,
7:27:59PM MY ANSWER IS THEN, TO YOU, SIR, IS IT NOT TRUE THEN TO BUILD
7:28:03PM SELF-STORAGE IT'S MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL THAN TO BUILD
7:28:06PM APARTMENTS ON THE RATIO OF COST?
7:28:08PM >> NOT NECESSARILY.
7:28:09PM THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD A HIGH-RISE SELF-STORAGE.
7:28:12PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: -- NOT NECESSARY IN APARTMENTS AND
7:28:15PM DWELLINGS.
7:28:15PM >> OKAY, SIR.
7:28:16PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:28:17PM >> THE RECREATION FACILITY EVENT VENUE DESIGN FOR THE
7:28:20PM PROJECT IS A PERMITTED USE BY CODE AS WELL AND WILL BE
7:28:22PM AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY FOR WEDDINGS, CORPORATE EVENTS
7:28:24PM AND MORE.
7:28:25PM THE PARKING FOR THESE EVENTS IS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AT THE
7:28:28PM ADJACENT SURFACE LOT RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED BY THE CITY OF
7:28:30PM TAMPA.
7:28:30PM THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NORTH
7:28:34PM WHICH PER SECTION 27-181 OF THE ZONING CODE PROVIDES THE
7:28:37PM CITY GREATER FLEXIBILITY REGARDING USE OF FUTURE
7:28:40PM DEVELOPMENTS.
7:28:41PM THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR THE CITY AND COUNCIL TO ALLOW
7:28:44PM SELF-STORAGE TO BE COMBINED WITH EVENT VENUE INSTEAD OF THE
7:28:48PM CODE REQUIRED MULTIFAMILY, WHICH AS WE'VE DEMONSTRATED THERE
7:28:50PM IS A HIGH VOLUME OF MULTIFAMILY ALREADY COMING ONLINE AND
7:28:55PM THEREFORE THERE MAY NOT BE A NEED FOR MULTIFAMILY AT THIS
7:28:58PM PARTICULAR LOCATION.
7:28:58PM AND TO THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE PROJECT BECAUSE THEY PREFER
7:29:04PM DIFFERENT USE LIKE MULTIFAMILY OR OFFICE OR HOTEL, PLEASE
7:29:07PM KNOW THAT I MARKED THIS -- I MARKETED THIS PROPERTY SINCE
7:29:11PM 2014 TO THOSE GROUPS WITHOUT SUCCESS.
7:29:14PM THEY SIMPLY DON'T WANT IT BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE PARKING ON
7:29:19PM A 14,000-SQUARE-FOOT SITE.
7:29:22PM AND THOSE OTHER USES REQUIRE A LOT MORE PARKING THAN
7:29:24PM SELF-STORAGE DOES.
7:29:26PM TO THOSE WHO OPPOSE THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THEY PREFER THE
7:29:28PM CITY OR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PURCHASE FOR FUTURE
7:29:33PM ROADWAY EXPANSION OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE FUTURE
7:29:35PM INTERMODAL STATION, PLEASE KNOW THAT I ATTEMPTED --
7:29:39PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:29:40PM -- TO SELL TO BOTH OF THOSE ENTITIES AS WELL.
7:29:43PM NEITHER ONE WANTED THIS PROPERTY.
7:29:44PM I'M BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION SO CITY COUNCIL AND THE
7:29:49PM GENERAL PUBLIC ARE AWARE THAT THE APPROPRIATE MARKET-DRIVEN
7:29:51PM USE FOR THIS IRREGULAR SHAPED AND CHALLENGING-TO-DEVELOP
7:29:54PM SITE IS A MIXED USE SELF-STORAGE BUILDING.
7:29:57PM PLEASE KNOW THAT I BROUGHT WITH ME LETTERS OF ENDORSEMENT
7:30:01PM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AND TURN INTO CITY COUNCIL FROM 15
7:30:04PM DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL AND BUSINESSES THAT ARE SUPPORTED --
7:30:07PM THAT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT.
7:30:09PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
7:30:09PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:30:27PM >> CAN I START?
7:30:33PM THANK YOU.
7:30:35PM MY NAME IS ATENSEIO.
7:30:39PM I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT BECAUSE I SINCERELY BELIEVE
7:30:43PM BOTH PROPOSED USES ARE, IN FACT, NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
7:30:47PM IN ADDITION, AS BEING A REAL ESTATE AGENT, REPRESENTING THE
7:30:52PM SELLER, I AM HIS WIFE.
7:30:55PM AND I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WENT
7:31:00PM THROUGH EXHAUSTIVE EFFORTS TO DESIGN AND MARKET THIS
7:31:02PM PROPERTY FOR NUMEROUS USES.
7:31:04PM WE BEGAN -- BEFORE WE BEGAN WORKING WITH BROOME CAPITAL.
7:31:08PM POTENTIAL BUYERS FOR MULTIFAMILY, OFFICE AND HOTEL COMPANIES
7:31:11PM EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE SIZE AND GEOMETRY OF THE
7:31:14PM SITE, BUT THE BIGGER CONCERN WAS ALWAYS PARKING.
7:31:18PM PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE KIND OF PROJECTS ARE
7:31:21PM SIGNIFICANT AND WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED OFF-SITE.
7:31:24PM IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE PARKING ISSUE, WE HAD DIRECT
7:31:27PM COMMUNICATIONS WITH MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF THE CITY AND THE
7:31:30PM DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN HOPES OF SECURING A
7:31:32PM LONG-TERM PARKING LEASE.
7:31:34PM THE CITY INFORMED US THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ESTABLISH A
7:31:36PM LEASE AGREEMENT WITH D.O.T. ON JULY 1st TO ENABLE THE
7:31:40PM CONSTRUCTION OF A 314-SPACE SURFACE LOT.
7:31:43PM WE ATTEMPT TO GET LONG-TERM LEASE AGREEMENT IN PLACE WITH
7:31:47PM THE CITY WITHOUT SUCCESS ON JULY 1st, 2016.
7:31:52PM THROUGHOUT -- THROUGH SEPTEMBER 6, 2018.
7:32:04PM WE FIRST SPOKE WITH THE PARKING DIVISION MONITOR AND THEN
7:32:06PM THE INTERIM PARKING DIVISION MANAGER KELLY STEPHENS WITHOUT
7:32:10PM SUCCESS.
7:32:10PM WITHOUT PARKING USES LIKE MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS OR HOTEL OR
7:32:15PM OFFICES, SIMPLY NOT VIABLE.
7:32:17PM HOWEVER, A SELF-STORAGE PROJECT REQUIRES VERY LITTLE
7:32:20PM PARKING, ONLY ONE SPACE PER HUNDRED STORAGE UNITS, AND
7:32:24PM BECAUSE OF USERS OF SUCH FACILITIES ARE AT THE BUILDING VERY
7:32:29PM INFREQUENTLY.
7:32:29PM THIS RESULTED SELF-STORAGE BEING IDEAL FOR THIS SIZE IN
7:32:35PM PARTICULAR.
7:32:35PM IN ADDITION, THE ADJACENT LOT, WHICH THE CITY WILL NOT LEASE
7:32:40PM LONG TERM, IS AVAILABLE FOR SHORT TERM AND FULFILLS THE
7:32:45PM NEEDS OF THE EVENT VENUE.
7:32:47PM WORST-CASE SCENARIO, PEOPLE WILL TAKE THE MASS TRANSIT ON
7:32:50PM THE WAY OUT OF THE EVENT VENUE.
7:32:52PM GIVEN THE EXISTING PARKING RESTRICTIONS, I BELIEVE IT'S VERY
7:32:56PM APPARENT THAT THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS ACTUALLY PERFECTLY
7:32:59PM SUITED FOR THIS SITE, AND WE HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE THE
7:33:03PM REQUEST.
7:33:04PM THANK YOU.
7:33:06PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:33:07PM >>FRANK REDDICK: NEXT.
7:33:11PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:33:12PM MY NAME IS MADELEINE RUSSO.
7:33:13PM MY HOME ADDRESS IS 808 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET, WHICH IS
7:33:17PM DOWNTOWN TAMPA AT THE ELEMENT.
7:33:18PM I AM A REAL ESTATE BROKER HERE IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND A
7:33:22PM RESIDENT OF DOWNTOWN TAMPA, AND I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THIS
7:33:26PM PROJECT.
7:33:27PM I THINK IT'S A GREAT USE FOR THAT SPACE, AND I THINK THE
7:33:32PM VENUE ON TOP OF THE STORAGE UNIT JUST ADDS VALUE.
7:33:36PM I CAN SAY I DO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING ON THE 21st
7:33:40PM FLOOR, 850 SQUARE FEET.
7:33:42PM AND I DO GO OFF PREMISES AND I DO HAVE A STORAGE UNIT WHERE
7:33:48PM I PUT SOME OF MY OFFICE SIGNAGE AND WORK-RELATED ITEMS,
7:33:52PM BOXES THAT I CAN'T FIT INTO MY APARTMENT THERE.
7:33:56PM WE DO HAVE STORAGE IN OUR BUILDING ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR BUT
7:33:59PM WHEN I MOVED IN, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE SIZE I NEEDED AND THEY
7:34:02PM WANTED TO CHARGE ME DOUBLE THAN WHAT I'M PAYING CURRENTLY.
7:34:04PM SO I AM HERE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
7:34:06PM THANK YOU.
7:34:08PM >>FRANK REDDICK: NEXT.
7:34:10PM >> HI.
7:34:12PM MY NAME IS ROB ROSNER.
7:34:15PM I'M THE CRA MANAGER FOR DOWNTOWN CHANNEL DISTRICT.
7:34:17PM I WANT TO SUBMIT TO YOU OUR MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING
7:34:23PM THAT WE HAD FROM THE DOWNTOWN CAC AND THE MEMBERS, INCLUDING
7:34:28PM DRANA, HAD VOTED TO NOT SUPPORT THE WAIVER FOR THE
7:34:35PM RESIDENTIAL.
7:34:36PM I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN THERE THAT MOTION.
7:34:39PM THE CHANNEL DISTRICT FOLKS ARE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT IT, TOO,
7:34:43PM BUT SINCE THEY DON'T LIVE IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, I JUST
7:34:46PM WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THEY DID SHOW UP WHEN THE SPECIAL USE
7:34:51PM INITIATED AMENDMENT THAT WAS PRIOR TO THIS WAS EXEMPTED AND
7:34:58PM THAT WAS DENIED.
7:34:58PM THEIR CONCERN IS THE SAME, IS THAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
7:35:02PM WE SET UP THESE STANDARDS FOR CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND
7:35:06PM CHANNEL DISTRICT CODES TO HAVE THESE MIXED USES TO ACHIEVE
7:35:13PM THE COMMUNITY THEY ENVISIONED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT
7:35:15PM PROCESS AND THROUGH CRA PLANS AND STRATEGIC ACTION PLANS.
7:35:17PM SO THESE BEING NON-CONTRARY, AND I AGREE WITH PLANNING
7:35:21PM ASSOCIATION -- OR THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT IT BEING
7:35:25PM INCONSISTENT.
7:35:25PM THIS GROUP FEELS THE SAME WAY, AND THEY HAVE REALTORS ON
7:35:30PM THAT AS WELL.
7:35:31PM THE APPLICANT HAD SAID THAT DRANA SUPPORTED IT, AND THEY
7:35:36PM ACTUALLY DIDN'T SUPPORT IT, AND THEY CAME TO OUR MEETING, AS
7:35:38PM THEY HAVE EX OFFICIOS THERE AND WERE ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO
7:35:44PM IT.
7:35:44PM WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH
7:35:47PM YOU AS THE RCAC DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH
7:35:53PM WHAT THE -- THEY ENVISION FOR THE DOWNTOWN CRA.
7:35:58PM AND DO NOT WANT TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
7:36:03PM >>FRANK REDDICK: NEXT.
7:36:19PM >> MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS, TODD PRESSMAN, PALM
7:36:24PM HARBOR, FLORIDA.
7:36:25PM I'M HERE AS AN AGENT FOR SOUTH FORSYTH STORAGE.
7:36:29PM I'M HANDING A LETTER OUT TO YOU FROM THE CHANNELSIDE
7:36:30PM DISTRICT COMMUNITY ALLIANCE WHO IS A DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL
7:36:34PM NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHO, NOTE IN THE LETTER, THEY
7:36:37PM STAND UNANIMOUSLY IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT, CITING
7:36:40PM SPECIFICALLY THE RESIDENTIAL MIX CONCERNS AND THE OTHER
7:36:43PM CONCERNS WHICH ARE BEING PRESENTED TO THE CITY.
7:36:45PM IN GREAT RESPECT TO MR. -- MY FRIEND MR. GRANDOFF AND THE
7:36:53PM DEVELOPERS, YOU CAN HAVE STORAGE HERE.
7:36:55PM THIS IS NOT A YES OR NO.
7:36:58PM THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO COMPLY WITH THE CRITICAL ASPECT OF
7:37:03PM PROVIDING A PORTION OF RESIDENTIAL ON THIS PROJECT.
7:37:07PM IN FACT, IN OUR OPINION, IF YOU GO THROUGH A CHECKLIST OF
7:37:11PM REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THE WAIVERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY'RE
7:37:14PM ASKING, THEY ALL CHECK NO.
7:37:16PM THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE DENIALS FROM THE ZONING DEPARTMENT,
7:37:19PM DENIALS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, DENIALS FROM THE
7:37:21PM TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, OPPOSITION FROM THE CHANNELSIDE
7:37:24PM DISTRICT WHICH LOOKING ON A GOOGLE MAP IS ABOUT THE SAME
7:37:28PM DISTANCE AS THE FRANKLIN, THAT MR. GRANDOFF SHOWED AND ALSO
7:37:33PM YOUR CRA REPRESENTATIVES.
7:37:34PM BUT THE ALL-ENCOMPASSING ASPECT HERE AND CRITICAL FACTOR IS
7:37:39PM A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.
7:37:40PM AGAIN, THEY CAN HAVE A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.
7:37:42PM AND I DON'T THINK MARKET STANDARDS OR MARKET DEMANDS
7:37:46PM TYPICALLY ARE SUPPORTIVE ELEMENT.
7:37:48PM BUT THAT IS A 100% WAIVER, MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS.
7:37:53PM THEY ARE ASKING FOR VIRTUALLY NO RESIDENTIAL WHEN THEY HAVE
7:37:57PM TO HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE PROJECT AS RESIDENTIAL.
7:37:59PM IF YOU LOOK QUICKLY ON A GOOGLE MAP AND JUST GOOGLE FOR
7:38:07PM PUBLIC STORAGE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, YOU CAN QUICKLY SEE
7:38:12PM THAT THERE'S A LOT OF STORAGE FACILITIES.
7:38:14PM AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
7:38:15PM THEY SET THEM UP IN AREAS WHERE YOU CAN DO COMPLETE STORAGE
7:38:21PM AND NO RESIDENTIAL.
7:38:22PM THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE CORRECT -- WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE
7:38:24PM THE CORRECT PLACES.
7:38:27PM SO I DON'T ACCEPT -- IT IS OUR OPINION WE DON'T ACCEPT THE
7:38:31PM ISSUES OF MARKET AND DEMAND.
7:38:32PM WE BELIEVE THERE'S PLENTY OF IT.
7:38:35PM THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY I'M HERE.
7:38:37PM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REASONS FOR INCLUDING A RESIDENTIAL
7:38:44PM ELEMENT, IT'S CRITICAL, BECAUSE THESE USES BECOME A DEAD
7:38:48PM SPACE.
7:38:49PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:38:50PM NO ACTIVITY.
7:38:51PM SO PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA, WHERE IT'S PLANNED TO BE AN
7:38:56PM ENVIRONMENT OR ECONOMIC GENERATOR, AS A TRANSPORTATION
7:39:00PM CENTER, IN OUR OPINION IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS A HUGE
7:39:04PM DEAD AREA WITH ONE -- I THINK IT'S 1% OF ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF
7:39:08PM STORAGE.
7:39:08PM SO WITH GREAT RESPECT, AGAIN, TO THE APPLICANTS, AND NOT
7:39:15PM REFERRING TO THE WAIVERS WHICH ARE EXTREME WITHIN
7:39:18PM THEMSELVES, WE APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION AND WE STAND
7:39:21PM STRONGLY AGAINST THIS ISSUE AS DO THE CITIZENS AND YOUR
7:39:25PM STAFF.
7:39:25PM THANK YOU.
7:39:28PM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
7:39:29PM MY NAME IS CHRIS VELA.
7:39:30PM I LIVE AT 924 1/2 EAST 11TH AVENUE.
7:39:34PM TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33605.
7:39:35PM I'M A RESIDENT OF HISTORIC YBOR CITY.
7:39:37PM I'M ALSO PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
7:39:38PM THIS IS REALLY A DISTURBING PROJECT.
7:39:43PM I DEFINITELY THINK THAT YOU NEED TO DENY ANY SPECIAL USE,
7:39:47PM ESPECIALLY DENY ANY TYPE OF WAIVER ATTACHMENTS.
7:39:51PM I THINK WE'RE HERE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THIS MIGHT BE
7:39:54PM CONTINUED BUSINESS TO THE NEW COUNCIL, IS BASICALLY DRAW A
7:39:56PM LINE IN THE SAND OF WHAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS ACCEPTABLE.
7:39:59PM CLEARLY YOU HEARD FROM STAFF HERE THAT THIS TYPE OF
7:40:02PM DEVELOPMENT, THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED RIGHT NOW IS NOT GOING
7:40:05PM TO MEET THE CRITERIA OF WHAT WE ARE AS RESIDENTS WANT MOVING
7:40:09PM FORWARD.
7:40:09PM IT'S NOT MEETING THE FUTURE USE OF THIS PROPERTY.
7:40:12PM YOU PROBABLY COULD LOOK IN THE VISION PLAN THAT MAYOR
7:40:15PM BUCKHORN ROLLED OUT.
7:40:16PM I DON'T THINK IT'S LITTERED WITH PARKING GARAGES.
7:40:18PM IT WAS JUST DISTURBING THAT THERE WAS A COMPARISON ABOUT
7:40:22PM BURGER KING AS A JUSTIFICATION.
7:40:25PM AND THAT'S WHAT THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS ISSUE IS.
7:40:29PM IF YOU GUYS APPROVE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T REALLY MEET OUR
7:40:32PM FUTURE USE AND ALSO THE NEEDS OF OUR DOWNTOWN AREA, IT JUST
7:40:36PM SETS A TONE FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO FOLLOW IN THAT LOW-QUALITY
7:40:42PM TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT.
7:40:42PM LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED ON DR. KING BOULEVARD.
7:40:45PM THERE WAS A STORAGE UNIT APPROVED THERE.
7:40:47PM THERE COULD HAVE BEEN TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITIES THAT COULD
7:40:48PM HAVE OCCURRED IN EAST TAMPA IN TERMS OF BUSINESSES AND
7:40:51PM PLACES TO LIVE.
7:40:52PM WE CAN SAY THE SAME THING WITH NORTH HYDE PARK.
7:40:55PM IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS AN APPROVED PARKING STORAGE UNIT
7:40:58PM OVER THERE, IN THE HEART OF THE AREA WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF
7:41:00PM FAMILIES, YOU HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS OVER THERE THAT ARE
7:41:02PM SEEKING HOUSING.
7:41:03PM WE HAVE US THAT OF PEOPLE LINING UP FOR AFFORDABLE AND JUST
7:41:08PM GENERAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES, AND ALSO BUSINESSES.
7:41:11PM WE ARE IN A DOWNTOWN AREA.
7:41:13PM THIS SHOULD BE NO DISCUSSION AT ALL, APPROVING LIKE A
7:41:16PM STORAGE UNIT.
7:41:17PM IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO LIVE IN A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD,
7:41:20PM THEY ARE FACED WITH CHOICES, AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE CERTAIN
7:41:23PM SACRIFICES FOR CERTAIN GAINS.
7:41:25PM WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT IF YOU'RE LIVING IN A DOWNTOWN AREA,
7:41:28PM YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A COMPACT LIFESTYLE.
7:41:31PM THERE IS JUST NO OTHER WAY AROUND THAT.
7:41:33PM SO WHILE I SYMPATHIZE THAT THERE IS A MARKETPLACE TO HAVE
7:41:37PM LIKE THAT TOUCH WITH URBAN LIVING, IN NO WAY THAT I THINK
7:41:42PM ANYBODY HERE IS DISPUTING THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE STORAGE UNITS
7:41:45PM ANYWHERE, BUT WHAT WE DON'T WANT IS ANY STORAGE UNITS IN
7:41:49PM PRIME REAL ESTATE AREA IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:41:51PM I'M GOING TO TOUCH BASE ON A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE.
7:41:53PM THIS AREA IS VERY SENSITIVE.
7:41:54PM MY FATHER ACTUALLY LIVES IN ENCORE.
7:41:57PM HE'S NOT GOING TO FIND ANY USE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.
7:41:59PM AND JUST REMEMBER THAT THIS AREA WAS COMPLETELY ANNIHILATED,
7:42:04PM DISREGARDED BY THE CITY AND F.D.O.T.
7:42:06PM I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITY NOW THAT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD
7:42:08PM TO HAVE TRANSIT AND BETTER HOUSING, THAT WE CAN TURN THIS
7:42:11PM AREA AROUND AND ACTUALLY CREATE A LOT MORE CONNECTIONS, NOT
7:42:14PM ONLY TO YBOR, BUT JUST TO EVERYBODY AND THEIR QUALITY OF
7:42:18PM LIFE.
7:42:18PM JUST CONSIDER THAT.
7:42:19PM DON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS.
7:42:20PM PLEASE.
7:42:21PM THANK YOU.
7:42:29PM >> HI.
7:42:29PM MY NAME IS IAN FOE.
7:42:31PM I'M HERE REPRESENTING AERIAL INNOVATIONS WHICH IS A BUSINESS
7:42:34PM THAT HAS DOCUMENTED THE GROWTH OF FLORIDA AND TAMPA
7:42:38PM SPECIFICALLY FROM THE AIR AND FROM THE GROUND FOR 32 YEARS
7:42:40PM NOW.
7:42:41PM I'D LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE JOB CREATION THAT A
7:42:47PM BUSINESS -- OR A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS WOULD CREATE BOTH IN
7:42:49PM THE SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION AND THE LONG-TERM WITH THE EVENT
7:42:53PM SPACE.
7:42:54PM AS A MEDIA PROFESSIONAL, AS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER
7:42:58PM WORKING FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS HERE IN TAMPA, THE
7:43:02PM AVAILABILITY OF JOBS AND EVENT SPACES LIKE THIS, THE
7:43:06PM WEDDINGS AND QUINCEAÑERAS AND PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT
7:43:11PM IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED BY THE OVERSATURATION OF THE MEDIA
7:43:17PM MARKET RIGHT NOW.
7:43:18PM SO THE MORE EVENT SPACES THAT WE HAVE, THE MORE JOBS AND
7:43:24PM CREATIVE OFFICIALS ALLOWED TO COME TO TAMPA.
7:43:26PM ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I'M A TAMPA NATIVE.
7:43:30PM I'VE LIVED HERE MY ENTIRE LIFE.
7:43:34PM I'VE MOVED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST YEARS, AND I THINK THAT
7:43:40PM SELF-STORAGE IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF APARTMENT AND
7:43:45PM MOVING FROM PLACE TO PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND ANYTHING
7:43:50PM THAT CAN SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH OF THE
7:43:55PM DOWNTOWN AREA WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
7:43:58PM THANK YOU.
7:43:59PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:44:04PM >> GOOD EVENING.
7:44:04PM MY NAME IS BRETT SNOWDEN.
7:44:07PM I SERVE AS THE PASTOR OF GREATER BETH-EL MISSIONARY BAPTIST
7:44:10PM CHURCH ON 1207 NORTH JEFFERSON STREET.
7:44:14PM AND SERVE AT LEAST 250 FAMILIES, AND WE COME TONIGHT TO
7:44:20PM OFFER OUR OPPOSITION TO THE STORAGE FACILITY BEING PLACED ON
7:44:27PM THE SITE BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY IS BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND
7:44:31PM BURGER KING.
7:44:33PM AND RIGHT NOW, WE AGREE WITH THE CITY PLANNERS IN TERMS OF
7:44:37PM THEIR OPPOSITION AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A PARKING
7:44:43PM PROBLEM AND A TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN THE AREA ALREADY, AND WE
7:44:46PM THINK THAT THIS WOULD PRODUCE AN ADDITIONAL CONCERN IN TERMS
7:44:50PM OF TRAFFIC, PARTICULARLY WITH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
7:44:54PM AND THE LAST ITEM I WOULD ADDRESS IS THAT WE HAVE A REAL
7:45:01PM MAJOR CONCERN RIGHT NOW WITH THE HOMELESS POPULATION WHO
7:45:07PM CAMPS OUT NO LONGER AT THE BUS STATION, BUT THEY CAMP OUT AT
7:45:10PM OUR CHURCH WHICH, THEREFORE, WE THINK THAT IT WILL ALSO DRAW
7:45:15PM MORE TRANSIENTS TO THE AREA AS WELL TO CAMP OUT.
7:45:18PM SO WE STAND TONIGHT TO OPPOSE THE PROJECT AS PUT FORTH.
7:45:29PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:45:30PM MY NAME IS MARK ADAMS.
7:45:32PM I SERVE AS CHAIRMAN OF THE TRUSTEE BOARD FOR GREATER BETH-EL
7:45:34PM MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH.
7:45:36PM I JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, SAY THAT I ALSO STAND IN
7:45:39PM OPPOSITION OF THIS PROJECT FOR JUST A COMMONSENSE REASONS.
7:45:45PM WE ALL KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MOVE.
7:45:50PM WHO WANTS TO MOVE 11 FLOORS WITH A HEAVY BED UPSTAIRS.
7:45:53PM THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
7:45:54PM WHEN THE ELEVATOR GOES OUT, WE KNOW IT CAN BE A PAIN TO
7:45:58PM SIMPLY MOVE BOXES AND WHATNOT.
7:46:00PM THAT ALONE DOESN'T QUITE MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME IN MY MIND.
7:46:05PM ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT AROUND TAMPA, YOU HAVE
7:46:08PM ENOUGH ROOFTOP BUSINESSES THAT ARE GOING ON.
7:46:11PM YOU SEE THEM ALL OVER THE SKYLINE.
7:46:13PM THIS WOULD BE ANOTHER PROJECT, IF YOU WILL, WHERE YOU WOULD
7:46:19PM HAVE ANOTHER ROOFTOP BUSINESS, WHICH IN MY MIND, DOESN'T
7:46:24PM NECESSARILY ADD ANYTHING OF MORE VALUE TO DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
7:46:27PM ALSO, ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE, TOO, AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL
7:46:31PM USE ON TOP OF THE BUILDING ITSELF, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S TO SAY
7:46:36PM THAT THESE PARTIES, SOIREES, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THEY
7:46:41PM DON'T GET OUT OF HAND.
7:46:42PM PEOPLE THROWING OBJECTS FROM THE ROOFTOP ONTO CHURCH
7:46:46PM PROPERTY, WE ALREADY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH REGARDS TO
7:46:49PM TRANSIENTS, LIKE THE PASTOR SAID, THEY TRASHED THE PROPERTY.
7:46:55PM AND I DON'T SEE ANYONE OR HAS INTRODUCED A PLAN ABOUT
7:47:00PM CLEANUP ASPECT OF THIS OPERATION.
7:47:02PM AND WHAT IT WOULD INVOLVE.
7:47:05PM ALSO, TOO, IT'S JUST KIND OF MIND-BOGGLING THAT ATTORNEY
7:47:10PM GRANDOFF SAID THAT THEY DID APPROACH INDIVIDUALS WITH
7:47:14PM REGARDS TO THE USE OF POSSIBLY BUYING THE PROPERTY.
7:47:19PM NO ONE KNOCKED ON OUR FRONT DOOR AND WE'RE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
7:47:22PM BEEN THERE 126 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST WE'VE HEARD OF
7:47:25PM IT IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROPOSED PROJECT
7:47:30PM FOR.
7:47:30PM THAT ALONE ON ITS FACE, THINGS DON'T SIMPLY ADD UP.
7:47:35PM OVER TIME, I THINK WE WERE MADE AWARE OF THAT TONIGHT YOU'RE
7:47:40PM VOTING FOR AN AIR-CONDITIONED PROJECT FOR STORAGE, BUT THIS
7:47:45PM COULD CHANGE USE OVER TIME.
7:47:47PM IT MAY BE A STORAGE UNIT ONE MOMENT IN TIME SOMETHING ELSE
7:47:53PM COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAT WOULD BE IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT WE
7:47:56PM STAND FOR AS A CHURCH FAMILY.
7:47:58PM WITH THAT BEING SAID ON A CYCLICAL STANDPOINT --
7:48:03PM [ BELL SOUNDS ]
7:48:03PM -- JUST IN TERMS OF THE ACTUAL USE OF THE SPACE THAT HAS
7:48:07PM BEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT, I STAND IN OPPOSITION OF THAT.
7:48:09PM THANK YOU.
7:48:14PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:48:15PM MY NAME IS DAVID LUCE.
7:48:19PM I'M HERE TONIGHT AS A RESIDENT VERSUS A CANDIDATE FOR CITY
7:48:23PM COUNCIL ITSELF.
7:48:23PM WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PROJECT, IT DOESN'T CHECK ALL THE BOXES
7:48:29PM THAT WE ENVISION FOR THE FUTURE OF TAMPA.
7:48:31PM IT DOES CREATE A DEAD ZONE.
7:48:33PM IT DOESN'T HELP WITH MASS TRANSIT. IT DOESN'T HELP WITH
7:48:36PM ATTAINABLE, AFFORDABLE LIVING.
7:48:39PM AND IF ANYTHING, IT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE CONGESTION
7:48:42PM BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TAKE A BUS TO GO PICK UP YOUR STORAGE UNIT
7:48:45PM PIECES AND TAKE IT RIGHT BACK.
7:48:47PM I ALSO DON'T THINK IT'S AN ECONOMIC DRIVER IN ANY SENSE.
7:48:52PM EMPLOYMENT-WISE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT MAYBE A
7:48:54PM HANDFUL OF EMPLOYEES AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE
7:48:57PM PART-TIME CATERERS OR CATERING THAT COMES IN.
7:49:00PM SO I DO OPPOSE THIS PROJECT AS IT DOESN'T FIT IN WITH THE
7:49:04PM GENERAL VISION OF THE CITY AND HOW WE WILL BE MOVING
7:49:06PM FORWARD.
7:49:06PM THANK YOU.
7:49:12PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
7:49:13PM MY NAME IS CARLA SAAVEDRA, 1108 NORTH FRANKLIN STREET.
7:49:19PM I AM ONE BLOCK NORTH OF HARRISON BETWEEN LAUREL AND
7:49:23PM HARRISON, FRANKLIN AND TAMPA STREET.
7:49:25PM AS A CONDO OWNER AND RESIDENT IN DOWNTOWN, WE ARE IN NEED OF
7:49:29PM QUALITY AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
7:49:30PM AS SUBMITTED, THE LETTER THAT OUR CONDO PRESIDENT, WE DO
7:49:33PM ENDORSE THIS PROJECT.
7:49:34PM THIS FACILITY IS A HALF A MILE TO THE EAST OF OUR CONDO.
7:49:38PM AS STATED EARLIER, THERE IS NOT AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE UNIT
7:49:43PM NORTH OF HARRISON.
7:49:44PM ADDITIONALLY, THE PLAN MEETING SPACE ON THE ROOFTOP FLOOR
7:49:48PM WOULD BE A WELCOME ADDITION TO THE AREA.
7:49:50PM I WANT TO ALSO LET YOU KNOW I AM AS WELL A MEMBER OF DRANA,
7:49:54PM WHICH IS THE DOWNTOWN RESIDENT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, AND
7:49:58PM I AM FOR THIS PROJECT, SO NOT EVERYBODY WHO IS A MEMBER OF
7:50:01PM DRANA IS AGAINST THIS.
7:50:03PM I AM FOR IT.
7:50:03PM I'M ALSO A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER AND I HAVE CLIENTS THAT
7:50:08PM LIVE IN CONDOS THAT ARE DOWNTOWN, THAT LIVE IN WESTSHORE,
7:50:11PM THAT LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA, WESTCHASE, AND AIR-CONDITIONED
7:50:15PM STORAGE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT WE CONSIDER WHEN WE'RE
7:50:17PM ORGANIZING, DOWNSIZING, OR RELOCATING.
7:50:21PM AND I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROJECT TO MOVE IT
7:50:25PM FORWARD, TO HELP GROW THE DOWNTOWN AREA WITH ALL THE CONDO
7:50:29PM PROJECTS COMING ONLINE AND THOSE THAT ARE ONLINE LIKE
7:50:32PM RESIDENTS OF FRANKLIN STREET, WE'VE BEEN THERE 12 AND A HALF
7:50:35PM YEARS, AND WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE
7:50:38PM SPACE NORTH OF FRANKLIN STREET.
7:50:39PM THANK YOU.
7:50:40PM NORTH OF HARRISON.
7:50:41PM EXCUSE ME.
7:50:42PM >>FRANK REDDICK: APPLICANT?
7:50:47PM >>REBECCA KERT: REBECCA KERT, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
7:50:49PM BEFORE FINAL REBUTTAL, I WANT TO SET THE STAGE OF WHAT THE
7:50:52PM LEGAL PARAMETERS ARE FOR WHAT CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS.
7:50:54PM WHETHER YOU APPROVE THIS APPLICATION OR DENY IT, WE WANT TO
7:50:57PM BE ABLE TO LEGALLY DEFEND IT.
7:50:59PM THE AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT THE
7:51:03PM TERM OF ART RIGHT IS AN ALLOWABLE USE IN THIS AREA.
7:51:06PM THEY DON'T HAVE TO -- THE APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE THE BURDEN
7:51:11PM TO PROVE A NEED FOR IT.
7:51:12PM IT IS NOT A LEGAL BASIS FOR DENIAL OR APPROVAL THAT THERE IS
7:51:18PM TESTIMONY THAT PEOPLE FEEL THERE IS A NEED FOR IT OR DON'T
7:51:21PM FEEL THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR IT OR PEOPLE WOULD PREFER IN
7:51:24PM ANOTHER USE IN THIS AREA.
7:51:26PM THAT'S NOT A LEGAL BASE FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.
7:51:29PM THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE THE BURDEN WITH A SPECIAL USE
7:51:33PM REQUEST.
7:51:34PM THEY DON'T GET IT AS A RIGHT.
7:51:35PM THEY HAVE THE BURDEN TO PROVE THAT IT MEETS YOUR GENERAL
7:51:38PM STANDARDS, WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU.
7:51:40PM THEY ALSO HAVE TO MEET THE SPECIFIC STANDARDS, WHICH THEY
7:51:42PM DON'T SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR WAIVERS.
7:51:45PM THE WAIVERS, THEY ALSO HAVE THE BURDEN, THEY BEING THE
7:51:49PM APPLICANT, HAS THE BURDEN TO PROVE THAT THEY MEET THE
7:51:52PM WAIVERS, AND THAT IS ALSO BACK TO YOUR GENERAL STANDARDS.
7:51:54PM IF THEY MEET THE GENERAL STANDARDS WITH THE WAIVERS, THEY'VE
7:51:57PM MET THEIR BURDEN.
7:51:58PM BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF TESTIMONY TONIGHT THAT I KNOW IS VERY
7:52:00PM IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE AND TESTIFIED, BUT
7:52:02PM IT'S NOT A LEGAL BASIS FOR YOUR DECISION.
7:52:06PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ALL RIGHT.
7:52:06PM APPLICANT?
7:52:12PM >> CITY COUNCIL, ON REBUTTAL, BRIEFLY, AS MS. KERT
7:52:17PM EXPLAINED, AND I'LL REITERATE, WE HAVE MET ALL THE GENERAL
7:52:21PM STANDARDS AND ALL OF THE SPECIAL SPECIFIC STANDARDS EXCEPT
7:52:24PM THOSE ARE THE TWO WAIVERS THIS EVENING THAT WE'VE SPOKEN TO
7:52:27PM YOU ABOUT.
7:52:28PM THE STAFF HAS NOT ISSUED DENIALS.
7:52:35PM THEY HAVE MADE FINDINGS OF INCONSISTENCY.
7:52:37PM THEY MAKE ADMINISTRATIVE FINDINGS TO YOU.
7:52:39PM YOU'RE THE FINAL DESIRED ON THE PROJECTS.
7:52:41PM THEY ARE NOT DENIALS ON THE RECORD, AS MR. -- I FORGOT HIS
7:52:48PM NAME -- EXPLAINED.
7:52:50PM I ALSO FIND IT INCONSISTENT THAT MR. PRESSMAN'S CLIENT IS A
7:52:55PM STORAGE COMPANY THAT'S COME TO YOU IN OPPOSITION TO A
7:52:57PM STORAGE PROJECT.
7:52:58PM THIS IS AN IRREGULARLY SHAPED PARCEL, AS MR. RAY EXPLAINED
7:53:03PM TO YOU.
7:53:03PM IT IS A DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE.
7:53:05PM IF THERE EVER WAS ONE.
7:53:08PM IT'S A MIXED USE, WHICH WILL RESPOND TO MARKET DEMAND.
7:53:12PM WE MET WITH THE DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP.
7:53:13PM THEY SEE A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR THE MEETING SPACE.
7:53:17PM THIS WOULD BE A LANDMARK SITE.
7:53:21PM THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TREE AND LANDSCAPING
7:53:24PM CODE.
7:53:25PM THE LOT SIZE, THE LOCATION AND THE COST FACTORS LIMIT THE
7:53:28PM USES.
7:53:29PM THERE ARE NO DUMPSTERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE STAGED IN THE
7:53:32PM RIGHT-OF-WAY THAT YOU'VE HEARD ON OTHER PROJECTS BEFORE.
7:53:34PM THE INGRESS AND EGRESS IS VERY FUNCTIONAL.
7:53:37PM WE HAVE NO CONFLICTS WITH TRAFFIC.
7:53:39PM IT IS SAFE.
7:53:40PM THERE IS NOT A CANYON EFFECT WITH OTHER BUILDINGS.
7:53:43PM AND WE'RE NORTH OF HARRISON.
7:53:45PM THE SURROUNDING USES ARE NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY THIS
7:53:51PM USE.
7:53:51PM THE APARTMENT AND TOWN HOUSE BUILDERS, BUILDING SMALLER
7:53:54PM UNITS BECAUSE OF DEVELOPMENT AND BUDGET AND THEREBY CREATING
7:53:57PM A DEMAND FOR AIR-CONDITIONED STORAGE.
7:53:59PM WE'VE HAD REPEATED TESTIMONY TO THAT EFFECT.
7:54:01PM I BELIEVE THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE DOWNTOWN HAVE COME TO YOU,
7:54:12PM AND THAT IS SIGNIFICANT TESTIMONY ALSO.
7:54:14PM I URGE YOU TO APPROVE THIS PROJECT, AND I'LL YIELD ANY
7:54:18PM FURTHER TO JORDAN IF HE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD.
7:54:24PM WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL THIS EVENING.
7:54:27PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL?
7:54:32PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: A QUESTION OF STAFF.
7:54:33PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT, BECAUSE OF THE
7:54:36PM WAY THAT MS. KERT HAD EXPLAINED THE STANDARDS, AND I JUST
7:54:40PM WANT TO MAKE SURE.
7:54:41PM SO IT HAS TO MEET THE GENERAL STANDARDS.
7:54:43PM THE GENERAL STANDARDS THAT I SEE HERE ARE UNDER 27-129 SUB-A
7:54:50PM 1, USE TO ENSURE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE AND SO
7:54:55PM ON.
7:54:55PM YOU LEFT.
7:54:56PM [ LAUGHTER ]
7:54:56PM SOMEBODY IS GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
7:55:00PM I'M FIGURING IT OUT AS WE GO ALONG HERE.
7:55:02PM OKAY?
7:55:03PM THAT TO THE USES LISTED AS SPECIAL USE AND THEN WE GET INTO
7:55:06PM THE SPECIAL USE NATURE OF IT AFTER IT MEETS ITS PARTICULAR
7:55:11PM CRITERIA IN THE GENERAL STANDARD, CORRECT?
7:55:13PM WE'RE STARTING FIRST WITH GENERAL STANDARD AND THEN START
7:55:16PM WITH SPECIAL USE, CORRECT?
7:55:17PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
7:55:18PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: NOW, THE QUESTION I HAVE IS UNDER THAT SAME
7:55:20PM SECTION, SUB-A 4 IT SAYS THAT THE USES IN CONFORMITY WITH
7:55:25PM THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE HAVE A REPORT FROM THE
7:55:31PM PLANNING COMMISSION, AND IT SAYS THAT BASED ON THE ABOVE
7:55:34PM CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THIS
7:55:36PM PROPOSED SPECIAL USE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE
7:55:38PM PROVISIONS OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
7:55:41PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
7:55:42PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: DOES THAT MEAN AND I NEED TO ASK THE
7:55:44PM QUESTION, THAT IT DOESN'T MEET THE GENERAL STANDARD OF
7:55:46PM NUMBER FOUR?
7:55:48PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
7:55:49PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY.
7:55:49PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I GOT THAT CORRECT.
7:55:52PM BECAUSE THE WORDING IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
7:55:54PM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO SEMANTICAL DIFFERENCE IN
7:55:58PM WHAT THAT MEANS.
7:55:58PM MR. GRANDOFF SAID ALL FIVE OF THE STANDARDS WERE MET BUT
7:56:01PM THEY ARE NOT, BASED ON THE REPORT WE GOT FROM THE PLANNING
7:56:03PM COMMISSION.
7:56:03PM I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CORRECT ABOUT THAT.
7:56:06PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
7:56:07PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
7:56:09PM THEN WE GO INTO THE SPECIAL USE WHICH IS BASED ON THE
7:56:14PM AIR-CONDITIONED USE AND THE LACK OF RESIDENTIAL IN ADDITION
7:56:18PM TO -- AIR-CONDITIONING STORAGE IN ADDITION TO THE CRITERIA
7:56:23PM FOR 40% RESIDENTIAL, AM I CORRECT ABOUT THAT?
7:56:26PM THAT'S ONE OF THE SPECIAL USE?
7:56:27PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
7:56:28PM THOSE ARE THE SPECIAL USE REGULATIONS.
7:56:32PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WANT TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE IT GETS
7:56:34PM CONFUSING WHEN YOU HAVE A LAWYER -- NO OFFENSE TO
7:56:36PM MS. KERT -- EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT THE GENERAL STANDARDS ARE
7:56:42PM AND THEN THE SPECIAL USE ASPECTS OF IT.
7:56:43PM SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT IN THE
7:56:45PM DISCUSSION.
7:56:45PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES.
7:56:46PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: THANK YOU.
7:56:47PM I APPRECIATE IT.
7:56:51PM >>FRANK REDDICK: DO YOU WANT TO RESPOND?
7:56:53PM HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU GOT LEFT?
7:56:58PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
7:57:01PM >>FRANK REDDICK: THAT'S A SMART WAY TO DO IT, I SEE.
7:57:04PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: MR. SUAREZ, I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT I SAID.
7:57:08PM GO TO PAGE 4 OF THE REPORT, OF THE STAFF REPORT.
7:57:10PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: UM-HUM.
7:57:13PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: AND YOU'LL SEE IN THE MARGIN IT SAYS
7:57:16PM SECTION 27-129 GENERAL STANDARDS.
7:57:20PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: RIGHT.
7:57:21PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: AND THEN THE SECOND LINE SAYS "OF THE CASE,
7:57:24PM THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS AND STANDARDS SHALL APPLY
7:57:28PM GENERALLY IN ADDITION TO OTHER STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
7:57:31PM SET FORTH CONCERNING THE CLASS OR PERMIT BEING CONSIDERED."
7:57:34PM AND YOU'LL SEE THAT LIST, INGRESS AND EGRESS OFF-STREET
7:57:38PM PARKING, LOADING, REFUSE --
7:57:40PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE, SIR, BECAUSE YOU
7:57:43PM ARE IN A DIFFERENT SECTION THAN WHAT I HAD MENTIONED.
7:57:45PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: RIGHT.
7:57:47PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WAS IN SUB-A.
7:57:48PM YOU'RE IN SUB-B ACCORDING TO THE REPORT.
7:57:50PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: RIGHT.
7:57:51PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I DID NOT ASK ABOUT THOSE.
7:57:53PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: I'M REFERRING -- THOSE ARE THE GENERAL
7:57:55PM STANDARDS THAT APPLY CITYWIDE.
7:57:56PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: NO, I GET IT.
7:57:58PM YOU'RE NOT -- YOU'RE NOT OPINING ABOUT WHAT I SAID BECAUSE I
7:58:01PM DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE PARTICULAR STANDARDS.
7:58:03PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: OKAY.
7:58:04PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
7:58:06PM >>JOHN GRANDOFF: THANK YOU.
7:58:07PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: OKAY, THANK YOU.
7:58:08PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
7:58:10PM COUNCIL?
7:58:13PM >>HARRY COHEN: COUNCILMAN SUAREZ DIDN'T TALK ABOUT
7:58:17PM SUBSECTION 3.
7:58:18PM YOU WERE REFERRING TO SUBSECTION 4, CORRECT?
7:58:22PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I REFERRED, IF I COULD, MR. COHEN, I REFERRED
7:58:24PM TO -- I STARTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE GENERAL STANDARDS
7:58:27PM WERE.
7:58:27PM >>HARRY COHEN: YEAH, RIGHT.
7:58:28PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: I MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY SUBSTANDARD A-4.
7:58:31PM >>HARRY COHEN: RIGHT.
7:58:32PM I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT A-3.
7:58:34PM ISN'T THIS CONTIGUOUS TO THE PARK, TO THE PERRY HARVEY PARK?
7:58:40PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: LaCHONE DOCK, PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN.
7:58:43PM THAT IS CORRECT.
7:58:43PM PERRY HARVEY PARK IS TO THE -- WELL, IT'S TO THE EAST.
7:58:48PM OF THE SITE.
7:58:52PM >>YVONNE CAPIN: IT'S TO THE EAST BUT CONTIGUOUS?
7:58:54PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: IT'S ACROSS THE STREET.
7:58:56PM SO THIS IS THE PARK.
7:58:57PM THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
7:58:58PM THAT'S OUTLINED IN RED.
7:59:02PM >>HARRY COHEN: I REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE
7:59:05PM BURGER KING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP WAS THE IDEA
7:59:09PM THAT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PLACE TO EAT
7:59:12PM OR GET A DRINK NEXT TO THE PARK.
7:59:15PM >>LaCHONE DOCK: YES.
7:59:19PM >>HARRY COHEN: STORAGE NEXT TO A PARK TO ME THE
7:59:27PM COMPATIBILITY ARGUMENT FOR THAT USE IS NOT THERE.
7:59:34PM SO I'M NOT -- I GUESS MY POINT IS THAT I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS
7:59:43PM MEETS CRITERIA NUMBER THREE.
7:59:45PM THAT'S ALL.
7:59:52PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYTHING ELSE, MR. COHEN?
7:59:55PM >>HARRY COHEN: NO.
7:59:56PM >>FRANK REDDICK: ANYTHING ELSE FROM COUNCIL?
7:59:57PM MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING?
8:00:01PM >> SO MOVED.
8:00:01PM >> SECOND.
8:00:02PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION FROM MR. MANISCALCO.
8:00:04PM SECONDED BY MR. MIRANDA.
8:00:04PM CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
8:00:06PM ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION SAY AYE.
8:00:08PM OPPOSED?
8:00:09PM WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
8:00:14PM ANYBODY?
8:00:15PM >>MIKE SUAREZ: MR. CHAIR, IF I COULD, I MAKE A MOTION TO --
8:00:21PM MAKE SURE I GET THE WORDING RIGHT.
8:00:23PM I MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE SPECIAL USE ON THIS UNDER
8:00:30PM SECTION 27-129 SUB-A 4, THE USE IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE
8:00:36PM TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS BASED ON THE REPORT FROM THE
8:00:41PM PLANNING COMMISSION, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IT IS
8:00:44PM INCONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF -- EXCUSE
8:00:47PM ME, FINDING THAT THE SPECIAL USE REQUEST IS INCONSISTENT
8:00:50PM WITH PROVISIONS IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PRIMARILY
8:00:55PM THE SECTION SAYING THAT THE CENTRAL BUSINESS -- EXCUSE ME,
8:00:59PM THE 40% OF TOTAL BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE HAD TO BE -- COULD
8:01:05PM NOT EXCEED WHAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF STORAGE WAS GOING TO BE.
8:01:10PM AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT IS OVER 90% OR 90%,
8:01:15PM AND SO IT DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA UNDER OUR GENERAL
8:01:18PM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
8:01:19PM IN ADDITION, UNDER THE -- UNDER SUBSECTION -- EXCUSE ME,
8:01:24PM THIS IS UNDER SECTION 27-132, SUB-A, THAT THE PROJECT -- THE
8:01:33PM FACILITY, THE SITE IS -- HANG ON A SECOND.
8:01:36PM I'M TRYING TO READ THIS HERE.
8:01:38PM THAT THERE IS NOT -- THAT DOES NOT HAVE AT LEAST TWO USES,
8:01:45PM ONE OF WHICH MUST BE RESIDENTIAL.
8:01:47PM THAT'S NOT AS PART OF THIS PLAN.
8:01:48PM UNDER SUBB UNDER THE SAME SECTION, THAT -- WELL, SUB-B IS
8:01:53PM WHERE WE GET THE 90% AIR-CONDITIONED AS OPPOSED TO THE 40%,
8:01:58PM WHICH IS REQUIRED AS PART OF THE STANDARD.
8:02:01PM SO THAT WOULD BE MY WHOLE MOTION.
8:02:05PM >>FRANK REDDICK: GOT A MOTION FROM MR. SUAREZ.
8:02:07PM SECONDED BY MR. MANISCALCO.
8:02:09PM ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
