18:04:02 PARKER IS HERE FROM WILSON.
18:04:05 SHE'S HERE TONIGHT VOLUNTEERING WITH US AND DOING A BANG-UP
18:04:10 JOB.
18:04:11 THANK YOU.
18:04:11 HIGH-FIVE FOR THAT.
18:04:13 SHE'S WELL COMPENSATED.
18:04:15 [ APPLAUSE ]
18:04:16 OKAY.
18:04:18 WE BEGIN WITH ITEM NUMBER 1.
18:04:21 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN?
18:04:26 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:04:29 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.
18:04:31 ALL IN FAVOR?
18:04:32 ANY OPPOSED?
18:04:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE THESE ARE ALL QUASI-JUDICIAL.
18:04:36 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
18:04:36 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
18:04:37 IT'S FUNNY.
18:04:37 I'VE BEEN OUT FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF WISDOM TOOTH ISSUES.
18:04:40 I'M A LITTLE WHATEVER.
18:04:41 IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE SPEAKING TONIGHT ON ANY QUASI-JUDICIAL
18:04:47 MATTER, PLEASE STAND UP, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DO SO, AND BE
18:04:50 PREPARED TO BE SWORN IN.
18:04:53 [OATH ADMINISTERED BY THE CLERK]
18:04:57 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU FOR THAT.
18:04:58 GO AHEAD WITH NUMBER 1.
18:05:01 MR. SHELBY, AGAIN, I LOVE YOUR BEARD.
18:05:04 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
18:05:08 >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
18:05:09 MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
18:05:11 COORDINATION.
18:05:12 THE FIRST ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA IS REZ 19-66.
18:05:17 THIS IS AN APPLICATION THAT HAS BEEN HEARD BEFORE CITY
18:05:24 COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 12 AS WELL AS THE LAST MEETING ON
18:05:28 JANUARY 16th.
18:05:30 THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THE APPLICANT HAS REVISED THEIR
18:05:33 SITE PLAN AND BROUGHT IT BEFORE YOU.
18:05:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BEFORE WE GET INTO THIS ONE COMPLETELY,
18:05:39 WE HAD ONE CASE, I THINK IT'S ITEM 12, THAT WAS HERE
18:05:47 JANUARY 16, AND THEN IT GOT CONTINUED, BUT IT GOT BOUNCED TO
18:05:52 THE END.
18:05:54 I THOUGHT A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE CONTINUE STUFF, WE PUT IT
18:05:58 AT THE BEGINNING.
18:05:58 >>LUIS VIERA: WAS NUMBER 12 A CONTINUANCE?
18:06:02 >> YES.
18:06:02 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
18:06:03 THAT POINT IS WELL TAKEN.
18:06:04 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE WE CAN TAKE IT SECOND.
18:06:06 >>LUIS VIERA: YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.
18:06:07 WELL TAKEN.
18:06:08 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, THE ONLY RISK YOU
18:06:11 TAKE WITH REGARD TO THAT IS PEOPLE SEEING THE PLACEMENT ON
18:06:14 THE AGENDA, THERE MAY BE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO
18:06:16 ULTIMATELY MAY COME.
18:06:18 >>LUIS VIERA: HOW ABOUT WE DO THIS?
18:06:21 WE MOVE IT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE AGENDA?
18:06:26 DO YOU THINK THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
18:06:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WAS JUST RAISING A CONCERN.
18:06:29 >>LUIS VIERA: WE'LL MOVE NUMBER 12 TO NUMBER 5.
18:06:33 THERE YOU GO.
18:06:34 JUST TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
18:06:36 LEGAL, ANY OBJECTION TO THAT?
18:06:42 >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
18:06:46 MY ONLY CONCERN IS WHAT MR. SHELBY STATED.
18:06:50 TO THE EXTENT PEOPLE ARE RELYING ON THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA.
18:06:53 THEY MAY NOT COME UNTIL MUCH LATER AND THEN WE'RE DEALING
18:06:56 WITH DUE PROCESS ISSUES.
18:06:58 >>LUIS VIERA: UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THAT, WE'LL HAVE TO STAY
18:07:00 AT 12.
18:07:00 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, I BELIEVE COUNCIL'S RULES
18:07:03 GENERALLY ARE IN THE ABSENCE OF IT SPECIFICALLY BEING
18:07:06 REQUESTED TO BE FIRST ON THE AGENDA, THE CLERK NORMALLY
18:07:08 PLACES IT LAST ON THE AGENDA IF IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
18:07:13 >>LUIS VIERA: UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO AFOREMENTIONED REASONS,
18:07:17 WE'LL LEAVE NUMBER 12 AS NUMBER 12.
18:07:19 MY REGRETS.
18:07:20 YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN, COUNCILMAN.
18:07:23 THANK YOU.
18:07:23 LET'S GO FORWARD.
18:07:29 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
18:07:30 COMMISSION STAFF.
18:07:32 I'LL BE BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THIS A COUPLE OF
18:07:32 TIMES BEFORE.
18:07:32 WE ARE ON SOUTH WILLOW AVENUE JUST SOUTH OF WEST KENNEDY
18:07:33 BOULEVARD.
18:07:35 THAT'S THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA CAMPUS TO THE NORTH.
18:07:38 THIS IS THE CITY OF TAMPA FIRE STATION.
18:07:41 THE SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL 35.
18:07:43 THAT IS THAT BROWN COLOR AND THEN THE RED IS COMMUNITY
18:07:47 COMMERCIAL 35.
18:07:48 THIS IS URBAN MIXED USE 60.
18:07:51 A LOT OF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED.
18:07:52 UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA TO PUBLIC, BUT OUR MAP HASN'T BEEN
18:07:55 UPDATED YET.
18:07:56 WE DID FIND THIS REDESIGN CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
18:07:59 PLAN.
18:07:59 I KNOW PREVIOUSLY WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE THAT FINDING, BUT THE
18:08:04 RESUBMITTAL, WE DID FIND IT ADDRESSED OUR POLICY CONCERNS.
18:08:08 AND THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING AN ELEVATOR ON THE SITE
18:08:12 MAKING THE APARTMENT BUILDING ACCESSIBLE.
18:08:14 AND THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR HOUSING, THE CITY POPULATION
18:08:18 AND OUR FAIR HOUSING POLICIES.
18:08:20 SO WE ARE FINDING IT CONSISTENT, AND THAT CONCLUDES MY
18:08:24 PRESENTATION.
18:08:24 THANK YOU.
18:08:30 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
18:08:31 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
18:08:33 THIS IS THE LATEST ITERATION THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR
18:08:38 CONSIDERATION.
18:08:39 THE APPLICANT IS STILL REQUESTING A DENSITY BONUS FOR NINE
18:08:42 DWELLING UNITS.
18:08:44 IF YOU REMEMBER FROM YOUR JANUARY HEARING, THEY WERE
18:08:46 BRINGING A SIMILAR DESIGN, BUT THE BUILDING EXTENDED FURTHER
18:08:51 TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH.
18:08:53 AS A RESULT OF THAT, THEY WERE ASKING FOR A MULTIFAMILY
18:08:58 GREENSPACE WAIVER AS WELL AS A WAIVER TO ALLOW MITIGATION
18:09:02 AND REQUIRED TREES TO BE PLACED IN THE TREE TRUST FUND.
18:09:06 AFTER THE CONTINUANCE IN JANUARY, THE APPLICANT HAS
18:09:10 REDESIGNED, AS SHOWN HERE.
18:09:12 THIS PROPOSED SITE PLAN, AGAIN, FOR NINE DWELLING UNITS HAS
18:09:18 NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED.
18:09:19 IT HAS A DENSITY BONUS FOR ONE ADDITIONAL UNITS.
18:09:24 NINE TOTAL DWELLING UNITS.
18:09:25 MEETS REQUIRED GREENSPACE, PARKING, TREE, LANDSCAPING CODES,
18:09:29 AS WELL AS STORMWATER AND SOLID WASTE.
18:09:33 IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES IT TONIGHT, THERE ARE SOME
18:09:35 MODIFICATIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING FROM NATURAL
18:09:39 RESOURCES, PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND
18:09:42 STORMWATER.
18:09:42 JUST CLARIFICATION OF SOME OF THE NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN.
18:09:46 SAYING THAT THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS
18:09:49 FOUND THIS ITERATION OF THE SITE PLAN CONSISTENT WITH THE
18:09:52 CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
18:09:53 DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
18:09:55 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:09:57 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:10:05 >> GOOD EVENING.
18:10:06 WILLIAM MOLLOY, 325 SOUTH BOULEVARD.
18:10:09 WE ARE BACK WITH SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME REQUEST, ONLY THIS
18:10:12 TIME THERE ARE NO WAIVERS REQUESTED.
18:10:14 I BELIEVE AS OF WHEN I LEFT MY OFFICE, WE HAVE SATISFIED
18:10:19 MR. MICHELINI AND HIS CLIENTS AS TO THEIR CONCERNS AND
18:10:22 OPPOSITION TO THIS.
18:10:23 I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I CAN.
18:10:26 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:10:27 SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'VE WORKED THINGS OUT WITH
18:10:30 MR. MICHELINI AND MR. LIGORI.
18:10:34 >> YES.
18:10:34 >>LUIS VIERA: GREAT.
18:10:35 THANK YOU, SIR.
18:10:36 ANY QUESTIONS?
18:10:36 THANK YOU, SIR.
18:10:39 IS ANYONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER
18:10:43 1?
18:10:43 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
18:10:45 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY
18:10:47 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:10:49 ANY IN FAVOR?
18:10:50 ANY OPPOSED?
18:10:51 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE ITEM NUMBER 1,
18:10:54 SIR?
18:10:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST AS A PREFACE, I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR
18:11:04 APPRECIATION TO THE PETITIONER FOR IMPROVING THE SITE PLAN.
18:11:11 WE DON'T LIKE TO SAY NO.
18:11:14 CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME PEOPLE SAY, WE REALLY LIKE TO SAY YES.
18:11:17 WE WANT TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY IMPROVING.
18:11:19 WE LIKE TO SEE NEW STUFF.
18:11:21 BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
18:11:26 NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:11:28 YOU'VE DONE THAT AND WE APPRECIATE IT.
18:11:29 WITH THAT, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE:
18:11:35 REZ 19-66, THE APPLICANT HAS MET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO
18:11:41 PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE REZONING
18:11:43 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SPECIFICALLY
18:11:50 IN REFERENCE TO THE STAFF REPORTS FROM THE PLANNING
18:11:53 COMMISSION AND OUR PLANNING STAFF.
18:11:57 I BELIEVE THE PROPOSED ZONING CATEGORY OF PD IS CONSISTENT.
18:12:08 I WAS READING FROM THE WRONG CHEAT SHEET.
18:12:10 LET ME BACK UP.
18:12:13 I MOVE THAT ORDINANCE AS THE APPLICANT HAS MET ITS BURDEN OF
18:12:16 PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE
18:12:19 DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS
18:12:21 CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CITY CODE,
18:12:24 SPECIFICALLY THE DEVELOPMENT AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN MEETS
18:12:27 THE PURPOSE OF THE PD REZONING, SPECIFICALLY THE PROPOSED
18:12:30 USE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND IT PROMOTES
18:12:32 THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE
18:12:36 AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 27-136.
18:12:40 I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY WAIVERS REQUESTED.
18:12:42 INCLUDE THE REVISION SHEET, AND I MOVE THAT FOR FIRST
18:12:50 READING.
18:12:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU COULD READ THE TITLE FROM THE
18:12:53 AGENDA, PLEASE.
18:12:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE
18:12:57 GENERAL VICINITY OF 110 AND 112 SOUTH WILLOW AVENUE, IN THE
18:13:01 CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN
18:13:03 SECTION 1, FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION RM-24
18:13:06 (RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY) TO PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,
18:13:09 RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY); PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
18:13:12 >>LUIS VIERA: DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
18:13:14 MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
18:13:15 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:13:17 ALL IN FAVOR?
18:13:18 ANY OPPOSED?
18:13:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A RESOLUTION THAT
18:13:21 GOES WITH THAT.
18:13:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED AT SECOND READING
18:13:24 AND ADOPTION PUBLIC HEARING.
18:13:26 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
18:13:29 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD MARCH 5th, 2020
18:13:32 AT 9:30 A.M.
18:13:45 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
18:13:46 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
18:13:48 ITEM NUMBER 2 IS SU2-19-10, COMMERCIAL OFF-STREET PARKING
18:13:53 LOT LOCATED AT 710 NORTH EDISON AVENUE.
18:13:59 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE OF YOUR PLANNING
18:14:01 COMMISSION STAFF.
18:14:02 WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
18:14:06 THAT'S THE SUBJECT SITE.
18:14:07 I HAVE TAMPA PREPARATORY ACADEMY HERE.
18:14:09 TO THE SOUTH IS THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA CAMPUS.
18:14:12 THERE'S SOME MULTIFAMILY AND THEN COMMERCIAL USES ALONG
18:14:15 EDISON.
18:14:16 WE DO HAVE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY BACK HERE.
18:14:20 THE SUBJECT SITE HAS A FUTURE LAND USE OF URBAN MIXED USE
18:14:24 60.
18:14:24 IT'S A VERY INTENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
18:14:28 IT DOES TRANSITION TO COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35.
18:14:31 WE ALSO HAVE GENERAL MIXED USE 24, RESIDENTIAL 35,
18:14:36 RESIDENTIAL 20, AND NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE-35.
18:14:39 SEVERAL YEARS AGO, ONE OF MY FIRST PLAN AMENDMENTS WAS
18:14:42 TAKING THIS WHOLE BLOCK AND BRINGING DIFFERENT FUTURE LAND
18:14:47 USE DESIGNATIONS WITHIN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:14:49 BUT THAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HERE.
18:14:52 THIS IS ALSO IN THE WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
18:14:56 IT IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE JULIAN B. LANE WATERFRONT
18:15:00 PARK, HART ROUTE 7 SERVES THE SUBJECT SITE AND IS LOCATED
18:15:04 WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE B.
18:15:06 WE DID FIND THIS REQUEST CONSISTENT.
18:15:09 THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES ENCOURAGE OFF-STREET
18:15:11 PARKING WHERE APPROPRIATE IN THE URBAN SETTING.
18:15:13 WE FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING WAS APPROPRIATE WITHIN
18:15:16 THE SURROUNDING AREA.
18:15:17 THIS IS CLOSE TO THE COMMERCIAL USES AND THE DOWNTOWN CORE.
18:15:20 WE DO NOTE THAT WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THE APPLICANT TO ENSURE
18:15:23 THAT THE SITE IS APPROPRIATELY BUFFERED FROM ANY RESIDENTIAL
18:15:26 DEVELOPMENT.
18:15:27 BUT OVERALL, THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN MIXED USE 60
18:15:31 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
18:15:32 AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
18:15:34 THANK YOU.
18:15:34 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:15:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
18:15:37 IS THIS ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR PROJECT OR DEVELOPMENT
18:15:41 OR THIS IS A FREE-STANDING PARKING LOT?
18:15:44 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I'LL LET MARYANNE.
18:15:46 I KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT I WANT HER TO SAY IT.
18:15:51 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
18:15:53 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
18:15:56 HERE IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE COMMERCIAL OFF-STREET PARKING.
18:16:03 PER THE CODE, THE SPECIAL USE IS FOR COMMERCIAL OFF-STREET
18:16:07 PARKING ASSOCIATED WITH AN ADJOINING COMMERCIAL USE.
18:16:10 SO THE ADJOINING COMMERCIAL USE FOR THIS PARKING LOT IS THE
18:16:15 RESTAURANT TO THE SOUTH, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF
18:16:21 CASS, DELAWARE, AND EDISON.
18:16:24 SO HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE ZONING MAP.
18:16:30 CURRENTLY ZONED RS-50.
18:16:32 RS-50, COMMERCIAL OFF-STREET PARKING LOT FOR AN ADJOINING
18:16:35 COMMERCIAL USE IS A SPECIAL USE, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE
18:16:39 WITH YOU TONIGHT.
18:16:39 THE ASSOCIATED USE, AGAIN, IS THIS RESTAURANT, THE CI ZONING
18:16:44 DISTRICT TO THE DIRECT SOUTH.
18:16:50 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
18:16:55 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS AT 710 NORTH
18:16:57 EDISON.
18:16:58 THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A TOTAL OF 22 PARKING SPACES.
18:17:02 THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY CONNECTION WILL BE THROUGH ONTO EDISON
18:17:07 THROUGH THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY FOR THE COMMERCIALLY ZONED CI
18:17:12 PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH.
18:17:13 SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY CUTS.
18:17:18 THERE ARE REQUIRED CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
18:17:21 FROM TRANSPORTATION, PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
18:17:22 COORDINATION, AS WELL AS NATURAL RESOURCES.
18:17:26 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TWO WAIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
18:17:30 SPECIAL USE.
18:17:31 THE FIRST, THERE'S A CODE REQUIREMENT THAT A PARKING LOT
18:17:35 SHOULD NOT EXTEND MORE THAN A HUNDRED FEET FROM THE
18:17:38 COMMERCIAL USE THAT IT IS SERVING.
18:17:40 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY EXTENDS 142 FEET TO ITS FARTHEST POINT.
18:17:45 SO THAT IS A WAIVER REQUESTED.
18:17:47 THAT IS FOUND IN YOUR STAFF REPORT TO EXTEND FROM 100 FEET
18:17:51 TO 142 FEET.
18:17:53 OTHER WAIVER REQUEST, THERE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE TO
18:17:55 THE NORTH AS WELL AS THERE ARE TWO TO THE WEST.
18:17:59 THE CODE REQUIRES A 15-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND A SIX-FOOT
18:18:04 HIGH WALL IN BOTH LOCATIONS.
18:18:05 THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A WAIVER TO ALLOW A 15-FOOT
18:18:09 BUFFER.
18:18:10 BUT INSTEAD OF A SIX-FOOT WALL, SIX-FOOT HIGH PVC FENCE.
18:18:14 OTHER THAN THAT, IT MEETS ALL THE CODE REQUIREMENTS AND
18:18:18 DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH
18:18:20 THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
18:18:21 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:18:25 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:18:46 >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
18:18:47 MY NAME IS MATT NEWTON FROM THE LAW FIRM OF SHUMAKER, LOOP
18:18:51 AND KENDRICK, HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.
18:18:54 THE ADDRESS OF THE FIRM IS 101 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD HERE
18:18:57 IN TAMPA, SUITE 2800.
18:18:59 AS STAFF POINTED OUT, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A PARKING LOT.
18:19:05 JUST TO QUICKLY REITERATE, AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION
18:19:08 POINTED OUT, THE URBAN CORE IS JUST HERE TO THE EAST.
18:19:12 YOU HAVE JULIAN B. LANE PARK HERE.
18:19:15 THE PARTICULAR SPOT HERE IS JUST NORTH OF A CI ZONING
18:19:19 DISTRICT.
18:19:19 THIS IS RS-50.
18:19:20 IT'S RIGHT THERE AT THE BREAK OF THE ZONING.
18:19:23 SURROUNDING USES OF THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE THE LAW FIRM OF
18:19:29 OLDER AND LUNDY HERE TO THE SOUTH.
18:19:32 THIS IS THE RESTAURANT -- IT'S CALLED THE HOOCH AND HIVE --
18:19:34 HERE TO THE SOUTH.
18:19:36 IT LOOKS LIKE A DUPLEX, SINGLE-FAMILY.
18:19:38 SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH AND THEN MULTIFAMILY TO THE EAST.
18:19:46 RATHER THAN KIND OF RETREAD ON WHAT STAFF IS PUTTING OUT IN
18:19:49 THE REPORT, I WANT TO DO A LITTLE DUE DILIGENCE ON PARKING
18:19:53 LOT BEST PRACTICES BEFORE I CAME HERE TONIGHT.
18:19:55 I FOUND AN ARTICLE COAUTHORED BY DONALD SHOUPPE, WHO IS A
18:20:00 LITTLE BIT OF A CHARACTER IN THE URBAN PLANNING AREA.
18:20:04 HE'S A LITTLE BIT LIBERTARIAN WHEN IT COMES TO OFF-STREET
18:20:07 PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
18:20:08 HE THINKS IT SHOULD BE BUSINESS DRIVEN BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
18:20:11 PATERNALISTIC AND IF BUSINESS IS GOING TO PUT PARKING SPACES
18:20:14 ON THE PROPERTY, IT SHOULD BE HEAVILY REGULATED WITH DESIGN
18:20:17 RESTRICTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC IS PROTECTED.
18:20:21 I'LL GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF HIS OFF-STREET BEST
18:20:25 PRACTICES AND POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY STRONG PARKING
18:20:27 LOT DESIGN.
18:20:28 THE FIRST THING THAT MR. SHOUPPE RECOMMENDS IS THAT PARKING
18:20:33 LOTS BE PLACED TO THE REAR OF THE PRINCIPAL USES.
18:20:36 OF COURSE, HERE, AS MS. SAMANIEGO POINTED OUT, THE PARKING
18:20:41 LOT IS SITUATED BEHIND THE MAIN ROAD HERE, CASS STREET,
18:20:45 WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS A COLLECTOR BY THE CITY OF TAMPA.
18:20:49 SECOND IS MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S APPROPRIATE SCREENING FOR
18:20:54 YOUR PARKING LOT.
18:20:57 ONE STRATEGY THAT HE EMPHASIZES IS TO USE SUFFICIENT
18:21:00 LANDSCAPING.
18:21:01 THIS SLIDE DEMONSTRATES THAT THIS IS A VERY HEAVILY
18:21:05 LANDSCAPED PARKING LOT PROPOSAL.
18:21:06 THE VIEW WAY AS PROPOSED IS 49.1%.
18:21:10 YOU DO HAVE A HEDGE CIRCLING THE ENTIRE PROPOSED PARKING LOT
18:21:15 AS WELL AS QUITE A BIT OF TREES.
18:21:18 AS MS. SAMANIEGO POINTS OUT IN HER PLAN, THE EXACT PLANTINGS
18:21:22 WILL BE APPROVED AT PERMITTING.
18:21:24 AS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT TODAY, THIS IS HEAVILY SCREENED.
18:21:27 THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, OF COURSE, THAT WE ARE REQUESTING
18:21:31 THAT THE SCREENING BE DONE WITH A PVC FENCE AS OPPOSED TO A
18:21:35 MASONRY WALL.
18:21:36 PVC FENCES ARE HISTORICALLY EASIER TO CLEAN AND THERE'S
18:21:39 ALREADY ONE ON THE PREMISES.
18:21:41 SO IT'S ALREADY EXISTING.
18:21:42 WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE USING THAT.
18:21:45 FINALLY JUST TO POINT OUT A FEW OTHER POINTS, THE PLANNING
18:21:48 COMMISSION POINTS OUT IN THE REPORT THAT WE ARE IN LINE WITH
18:21:51 ENCOURAGING PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY, THAT WE ARE PROPOSING A
18:21:54 FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK HERE ALONG THE EAST THAT WILL CONNECT TO
18:21:57 THE PARKING LOT HERE AND TO THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH AND
18:21:59 CONNECT TO THE NORTH.
18:22:01 AND WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE BUFFERING AND SCREENING.
18:22:07 SO THAT'S IT.
18:22:08 HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
18:22:09 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
18:22:11 THANK YOU, SIR.
18:22:15 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
18:22:17 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK PUBLICLY ON ITEM NUMBER
18:22:20 2?
18:22:20 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
18:22:27 >> GOOD EVENING.
18:22:29 MY NAME IS HARRIET McCREED.
18:22:31 I'M REPRESENTING THE OLD WEST RIVERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD
18:22:34 ASSOCIATION.
18:22:36 WE DID RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROJECT, BUT ONE OF
18:22:39 THE THINGS WE NOTICED IS WE DIDN'T GET THE EXACT DETAILS OF
18:22:43 WHAT'S GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THIS PROJECT.
18:22:45 I'M JUST BASICALLY FINDING OUT RIGHT NOW.
18:22:47 THEY DID ASK ME ON THEIR BEHALF TOO OFTEN PARTIES -- TO HAVE
18:22:52 THE PARTIES INVOLVED TO MEET WITH THE ASSOCIATION.
18:22:54 WE ALSO HAVE THE SECOND ASSOCIATION IN THE AREA, THE NORTH
18:22:56 HYDE PARK ASSOCIATION IS HERE ALSO.
18:22:58 MS. BRENDA.
18:23:02 SHE WOULD ALSO LIKE THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT TO
18:23:04 MEET WITH THEM.
18:23:07 >>LUIS VIERA: COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL?
18:23:09 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
18:23:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD ANYTHING IN
18:23:13 PARTICULAR THAT BOTHERS YOU TONIGHT, BUT WHAT WE COULD DO --
18:23:19 IT IS A TWO-READING PROCESS, NOW AND THEN TWO WEEKS FROM
18:23:23 NOW, TYPICALLY.
18:23:25 WE COULD GO AHEAD AND TENTATIVELY APPROVE IT.
18:23:28 ASK THE PETITIONER TO MEET WITH YOU AND YOUR COHORT OVER
18:23:31 THERE IN BETWEEN OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS FROM NOW
18:23:34 FOR SECOND READING, YOU COULD COME BACK IF YOU HAD ANY
18:23:41 OBJECTIONS.
18:23:43 >> SINCE THEY DO HAVE AN OBJECTION BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE
18:23:45 NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
18:23:47 AS A PROJECT IS GOING TO IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:23:50 THEY WANT TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT ITSELF AND LOOK AT ANY
18:23:53 IMPLICATIONS THAT MAY HAPPEN THAT MAY BE SHORTSIGHTED, THAT
18:23:59 MAY BE MISSED.
18:24:01 THEY WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED.
18:24:05 THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT BOTH OF THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE
18:24:07 MET WITH BUILDERS.
18:24:08 WE'VE MET WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY BUILDER, EVERY PROJECT --
18:24:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK YOU'D NEED?
18:24:16 TYPICALLY, LIKE I SAY, TYPICALLY IT'S TWO WEEKS.
18:24:18 WOULD YOU NEED A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO MEET WITH THEM AND LOOK
18:24:21 AT THIS?
18:24:22 >> WELL, I HAVE TO SPEAK WITH THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE
18:24:29 PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO GET THAT ARRANGED.
18:24:31 BUT THEY DID WANT TO MEET WITH THE PARTIES AS FAR AS THIS
18:24:35 PROJECT.
18:24:36 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
18:24:39 ARE YOU FINISHED, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER?
18:24:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YEAH, I THINK SO.
18:24:43 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
18:24:44 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
18:24:44 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I GUESS I NEED TO ASK THE PETITIONER IF
18:24:50 THEY MET WITH ANYBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:24:53 I BELIEVE THAT PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THE CHURCH, I BELIEVE.
18:24:56 BEULAH BAPTIST.
18:24:57 I THINK BEULAH SOLD THAT PROPERTY TO THEM, CORRECT?
18:25:02 >> MR. NEWTON FOR THE PETITIONER.
18:25:04 YES, THIS IS OWNED BY THE BEULAH BAPTIST CHURCH.
18:25:06 WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CHURCH HERE AS WELL.
18:25:13 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T REALLY HAVE AN ISSUE.
18:25:15 I KNOW THERE ARE TWO STRONG NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS OVER
18:25:17 THERE, AND THEY DO HAVE A VOICE OVER THERE.
18:25:19 I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE CHURCH IF THE CHURCH IS HERE.
18:25:23 >> THE ASSOCIATIONS FEEL THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
18:25:27 NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAKE SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT COMES INTO THE
18:25:29 NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:25:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I UNDERSTAND.
18:25:33 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:25:34 FOR THE RECORD, MR. SHELBY, WHEN WOULD THIS BE COMING BACK
18:25:36 TO US, DO YOU KNOW?
18:25:37 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NORMALLY THE CLERK WOULD SET IT TWO WEEKS
18:25:40 FROM -- MARCH 5th, 9:30 A.M.
18:25:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THEN.
18:25:45 >>MARTIN SHELBY: DEPENDS ON THE PETITIONER.
18:25:47 PETITIONER'S POSITION WE GET TO HEAR.
18:25:52 OBVIOUSLY, THAT CONTROLS WHAT DIRECTION --
18:25:56 >>LUIS VIERA: WE CAN INQUIRE.
18:25:58 YES, MA'AM, GO AHEAD.
18:26:00 >> BRENDA LINDSEY, 1916 WEST LEMON STREET, NORTH HYDE PARK.
18:26:05 I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.
18:26:08 WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE INDUSTRY AND BUSINESSES COMING TO THE
18:26:11 NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER, WE'D LIKE TO MEET
18:26:17 WITH YOU ALONG WITH RIVERFRONT TO REVIEW THIS PROJECT.
18:26:21 I HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE TREES AND THE FENCE, AND NO ONE
18:26:26 MENTIONED HOW LONG THE PARKING LOT IS GOING TO BE OPEN.
18:26:29 IS IT OPEN 24/7?
18:26:33 THAT'S NOT A GOOD AREA TO HAVE A 24/7, NO AREA REALLY, A
18:26:38 PARKING LOT.
18:26:39 THAT'S A CONCERN WE HAVE.
18:26:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GOOD QUESTIONS.
18:26:42 >> IF WE CAN MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER, THAT WOULD BE
18:26:47 WONDERFUL.
18:26:48 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
18:26:50 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:26:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WERE YOU ALL NOTICED BY THE DEVELOPER?
18:26:55 >> NO.
18:26:57 I GOT A NOTICE, YES.
18:27:00 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THEY WERE NOT NOTICED?
18:27:02 >> YEAH, IT WAS ONE OF THESE.
18:27:07 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO FIND OUT, YOU SENT OUT HOW
18:27:10 MANY NOTICES?
18:27:12 >> MATT NEWTON FOR THE PETITIONER.
18:27:16 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THERE IS NO MIKE THERE.
18:27:18 THIS IS NEW TECHNOLOGY.
18:27:22 >> I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF NOTICES OFF THE TOP OF MY
18:27:25 HEAD.
18:27:26 I COULD CHECK ACELA.
18:27:28 MY BELIEF IS IT WAS PROPERLY NOTICED.
18:27:31 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I GUESS YOU RESPOND TO THE PEOPLE THAT
18:27:36 ANSWER YOUR NOTICE, I WOULD ASSUME.
18:27:38 WHEN DID YOU MAIL THE NOTICES?
18:27:40 >> I BELIEVE CODE REQUIRES 30 DAYS BEFORE THE PUBLIC
18:27:43 HEARING.
18:27:44 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS NOTICED PRIOR
18:27:47 TO YOU BEING HERE THURSDAY IN ADVANCE.
18:27:51 I SEE SOMEBODY SHAKING THEIR HEAD.
18:27:54 I DON'T KNOW.
18:27:54 >> THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS NOT NOTICED.
18:27:57 >>LUIS VIERA: MA'AM, IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME.
18:27:58 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MEANING WITHIN 250 FEET.
18:28:01 >> I UNDERSTAND.
18:28:01 >>LUIS VIERA: I SEE MS. WELLS COMING UP.
18:28:03 >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
18:28:07 THE PURPOSE OF THE NOTICE IS TO LET PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN
18:28:10 250 FEET AS WELL AS THE REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD
18:28:12 ORGANIZATIONS KNOW OF THE APPLICATION.
18:28:15 THERE'S INFORMATION GENERALLY IN THAT NOTICE ALLOWING THEM
18:28:18 TO CONTACT THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE THOSE COMMUNICATIONS IN
18:28:24 ADVANCE OF THE HEARING.
18:28:24 THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE NOTICE.
18:28:26 THE CODE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER OR APPLICANT TO MEET
18:28:28 WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ADVANCE.
18:28:29 SO PLEASE CONSIDER THAT AS YOU DELIBERATE HOW TO PROCEED
18:28:33 THIS EVENING.
18:28:34 AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THE NOTICE IS SO THAT THOSE RECEIVING
18:28:37 IT CAN CONTACT THE DEVELOPER AND HAVE THE CONVERSATION.
18:28:45 >>LUIS VIERA: GO AHEAD, SIR.
18:28:50 >> MY NAME IS JORDAN EDDIE.
18:28:52 I LIVE AT 511 SOUTH WESTLAND AVENUE, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
18:28:57 I'M HERE OPPOSED TO THIS TONIGHT.
18:29:00 I THINK THIS PROJECT IS TOO CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN TO BE
18:29:03 EXPANDING WHAT AMOUNTS TO A SURFACE PARKING LOT.
18:29:08 I THINK IF WE WANT A MORE VIBRANT URBAN CORE, WE NEED TO BE
18:29:12 THINKING ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF THINGS ON THESE PARCELS THAN
18:29:15 WHAT JUST AMOUNTS TO A PARKING LOT.
18:29:18 THIS IS CLOSE TO THE CASS STREET GREEN SPINE, WHICH IS
18:29:21 SUPPOSED TO BE A CORRIDOR FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES AND
18:29:25 HAVING A SURFACE LOT ALONG THAT CORRIDOR DOES NOT ADVANCE
18:29:30 THAT GOAL.
18:29:31 IT'S ALSO CLOSE TO JULIAN B. LANE PARK, WHICH IS AN URBAN
18:29:35 PARK THAT THE CITY PUT A LOT INTO.
18:29:37 AND I THINK IT WOULD BE SQUANDERING ITS POTENTIAL TO PUT A
18:29:41 SURFACE PARK CLOSE BY.
18:29:42 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION FOR THE LOT IS URBAN
18:29:46 MIXED USE 60.
18:29:48 I DON'T THINK THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS URBAN OR MIXED USE.
18:29:53 UMU-60 CALLS FOR INTENSE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS, AND, AGAIN,
18:29:58 THIS IS JUST A SURFACE LOT.
18:30:00 UMU-60 ACTUALLY DESCRIBES CERTAIN TYPES OF PARKING
18:30:04 ARRANGEMENTS, EITHER ON-STREET PARKING, PARKING BEHIND A
18:30:07 STRUCTURE OR A STRUCTURED PARKING GARAGE, AND I DON'T
18:30:11 CONSIDER THIS PROPOSAL TO BE ANY OF THOSE THREE THINGS
18:30:14 BECAUSE THE PARKING LOT IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED TO THE EAST TO
18:30:19 EDISON.
18:30:19 ON EDISON, IT WILL JUST BE A ROW OF PARKING LOT.
18:30:25 TO ME, THIS IS A VERY SUBURBAN DESIGN FOR AN URBAN AREA.
18:30:29 AND I ASK THAT YOU REJECT THE PROJECT.
18:30:31 THANK YOU.
18:30:32 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
18:30:33 NEXT, PLEASE.
18:30:38 >> GOOD EVENING.
18:30:39 MY NAME IS WILLIE TIMES.
18:30:41 I'M A TRUSTEE WITH BEULAH BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH.
18:30:46 2516 REGAL RIVER ROAD, VALRICO, FLORIDA.
18:30:53 WE SUPPORT THE IDEA OF THE ZONING CHANGE TO PUT IN A PARKING
18:30:55 LOT.
18:30:56 PRIOR TO THE USE -- THE REQUESTED USE, THAT WAS KIND OF A
18:31:05 BLIGHTED AREA.
18:31:06 WE WERE ALWAYS HAVING TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY FOR CLEANUP AND
18:31:09 REPAIR AND REMOVING TRASH.
18:31:12 SO WE THINK THAT IT WOULD SERVE A MORE SOLID USE IN TERMS OF
18:31:17 USING IT AS A PARKING LOT SO WE SUPPORT PUTTING IN A PARKING
18:31:21 LOT THERE.
18:31:23 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
18:31:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING.
18:31:26 SIR, QUICK QUESTION, WILL THE CHURCH BE SHARING THIS PARKING
18:31:35 LOT, USING IT ON SUNDAYS OR THAT SORT OF THING?
18:31:39 >> NO.
18:31:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OR ARE YOU SELLING IT AND MOVING ON?
18:31:42 >> WE ARE LEASING THE PROPERTY TO THEM NOW.
18:31:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP IT AND CONTINUE TO
18:31:47 LEASE IT.
18:31:48 >> WE ARE GOING TO KEEP IT.
18:31:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: LONG-TERM LEASE I ASSUME.
18:31:51 >> YES.
18:31:54 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
18:31:55 THANK YOU, SIR.
18:31:56 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
18:32:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NOT FOR PETITIONER.
18:32:04 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER
18:32:06 2?
18:32:07 GO AHEAD, SIR.
18:32:09 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT'S AN OLD COMMUNITY OVER THERE.
18:32:12 AND THEY WORK WELL WITH CONVERSATION.
18:32:15 I KNOW YOUR FIRM BELIEVES IN CONVERSATING.
18:32:20 THIS BODY CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, BUT I WOULD URGE THAT
18:32:26 IF YOU WOULD MEET, GET THE CHURCH INVOLVED.
18:32:29 IT'S ONE OF THE OLDEST CHURCHES IN TAMPA, BEULAH BAPTIST
18:32:32 INSTITUTION, AND YOU'VE GOT TWO OLD NEIGHBORHOOD
18:32:35 ASSOCIATIONS WHO ARE VERY, VERY STRONG OVER THERE, AND THEY
18:32:40 LIKE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE.
18:32:41 SO I CAN HOPE THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DECISION TO WHERE WE
18:32:45 HAVE A SMALL CONVERSATION WITH THEM BEFORE THIS BODY MAKES A
18:32:48 DECISION.
18:32:49 >> ABSOLUTELY, COUNCILMAN.
18:32:50 I BELIEVE PERSONALLY THAT COMMUNICATING CAN ONLY HELP.
18:32:53 SO I'M HAPPY TO GIVE MY CARDS TO THESE NEIGHBORHOOD
18:32:56 ASSOCIATIONS.
18:32:57 IT HAS MY CELL PHONE ON IT, E-MAIL ON IT.
18:33:00 I'LL REACH OUT TO THEM AS WELL.
18:33:01 OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, WE'LL SIT DOWN AND HAVE A
18:33:04 CONVERSATION.
18:33:05 I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS AND UNDERSTAND THEIR POINTS
18:33:08 OF VIEW.
18:33:11 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
18:33:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY CONCERN IS IF THERE'S SOME SUBSTANTIVE
18:33:18 CHANGES, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUNG LADY INDICATED SHE WAS CONCERNED
18:33:22 ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE HOURS OF OPERATION.
18:33:25 I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT LIGHTING.
18:33:29 ALSO, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE CURRENT PARKING.
18:33:31 WHAT'S THE CURRENT PARKING SITUATION WITH THE RESTAURANT?
18:33:33 WHAT'S YOUR NEED?
18:33:35 >> CURRENTLY, THERE'S PARKING TO THE WEST.
18:33:37 AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORIC PARKING TO THE SOUTH.
18:33:42 THIS WAS BROUGHT TO YOU TODAY BECAUSE THE LOT TO THE REAR
18:33:45 WAS BEING USED AS ILLEGAL NONCONFORMING PARKING LOT.
18:33:49 SO THIS BRINGS THAT INTO CODE.
18:33:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
18:33:54 BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU'VE GOT A RESTAURANT, TOO BUSY AND
18:33:59 SHORT ON PARKING.
18:34:00 >> CORRECT.
18:34:01 IT'S HARD TO GET A DEVELOPER TO VOLUNTARILY PAY FOR PARKING,
18:34:04 AS YOU ALL KNOW.
18:34:05 SO HERE THE MARKET IS SPEAKING THAT THEY NEED MORE PARKING
18:34:08 TO SUCCEED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THIS IS THE WAY THEY
18:34:11 WOULD GO ABOUT DOING IT.
18:34:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ONLY SUGGESTION I WOULD HAVE AND
18:34:15 MR. SHELBY ALLUDED TO IT, WE CAN'T MAKE YOU.
18:34:19 I GUESS YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO A VOTE TONIGHT AND YOU HAVE A
18:34:21 RIGHT COME BACK TWO WEEKS LATER.
18:34:25 I WOULD SUGGEST EXTEND IT TO A MONTH TO GIVE EVERYBODY A
18:34:28 CHANCE TO BREATHE.
18:34:29 IF YOU HAVE ANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES, YOU'D BE ABLE TO WORK
18:34:32 WITH STAFF WITH A LITTLE MORE TIME TO MAKE THE CHANGES ON
18:34:35 YOUR SITE PLAN OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
18:34:37 WHATEVER THE DETAILS ARE.
18:34:40 THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION.
18:34:42 THAT HAS TO BE VOLUNTARY FROM YOU.
18:34:45 >> I FIND IT A WISE SUGGESTION AND I WOULD HAPPILY EXTEND
18:34:50 OUT TO A MONTH.
18:34:51 >>LUIS VIERA: REBUTTAL, IF YOU'D LIKE.
18:34:54 >> WAIVE REBUTTAL.
18:34:55 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
18:34:57 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
18:34:59 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:35:01 ANY IN FAVOR?
18:35:02 ANY OPPOSED?
18:35:03 COUNCILMAN GUDES, DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE READING ITEM
18:35:06 NUMBER 2, SIR?
18:35:07 MR. NEWTON, IF I MAY --
18:35:18 >> MOVE TO REOPEN.
18:35:19 >>LUIS VIERA: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:35:21 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:35:23 IN ANY FAVOR?
18:35:24 ANY OPPOSED?
18:35:24 TO SPECIFY BECAUSE I THINK THERE WAS CONFUSION.
18:35:27 YOUR INTENT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS TAKE YOUR CHANCE
18:35:30 ON A VOTE NOW.
18:35:31 IF YOU GET TO PASS FIRST BASE TO SECOND BASE TO HAVE 30 DAYS
18:35:37 OR A MONTH GO BY TO SECOND READING, CORRECT?
18:35:40 >> THAT IS CORRECT, MR. VIERA.
18:35:41 I EXPECT THIS TO BE DISCUSSED FURTHER AT SECOND READING.
18:35:44 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
18:35:45 ANY QUESTIONS BASED ON THAT, COUNCILMAN GUDES?
18:35:48 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
18:35:56 MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:35:57 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:36:00 ANY IN FAVOR?
18:36:01 ANY OPPOSED?
18:36:02 I HEARD COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER CORRECTLY STATE, JUST FOR THE
18:36:05 OBVIOUS, WHICH IS IF I ASK SOMEBODY TO READ SOMETHING, I'M
18:36:09 NOT COMPELLING SOMEONE TO READ ANYTHING.
18:36:11 YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
18:36:12 I'M GOING DOWN THE LINE, SO TO SPEAK.
18:36:15 IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE.
18:36:17 COUNCILMAN GUDES, IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE READING ITEM NUMBER
18:36:19 2, SIR.
18:36:20 >>MARTIN SHELBY: OTHERWISE, HE COULD ASK TO PASS.
18:36:24 >>LUIS VIERA: PASS.
18:36:25 OKAY.
18:36:25 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:36:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PASS.
18:36:27 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN CITRO?
18:36:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: GIVE ME ONE SECOND, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
18:36:37 FILE NUMBER SU --
18:36:47 >>LUIS VIERA: I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
18:36:49 I APOLOGIZE BEFORE THAT.
18:36:53 MR. SHELBY, IF THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PETITIONER WISHED TO
18:36:59 MAKE ANY FURTHER STATEMENTS AT THIS TIME, HE WOULD NOT BE
18:37:02 ALLOWED TO DO SO AS WE'VE CLOSED, CORRECT?
18:37:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES.
18:37:07 FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
18:37:10 >>LUIS VIERA: IN OTHER WORDS, GIVEN THE STATEMENT BY
18:37:12 COUNCILMAN GUDES ON MEETING WITH FOLKS AND WAITING ON FIRST
18:37:16 READING, JUST I DIDN'T KNOW IF --
18:37:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, COUNCIL, FOR THE PURPOSES OF
18:37:23 CLARIFICATION, OBVIOUSLY, BY READING THE TITLE, YOU ARE
18:37:30 MOVING THE ITEM.
18:37:31 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
18:37:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHEN YOU PASS, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY
18:37:35 INDICATE HOW YOU INTEND TO VOTE NECESSARILY.
18:37:38 BUT FOR THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD PREFER PERHAPS SOMEBODY
18:37:42 ELSE TO READ IT.
18:37:43 >>LUIS VIERA: I'M TALKING ABOUT -- I'M SORRY.
18:37:45 I WASN'T CLEAR.
18:37:46 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I THINK I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
18:37:48 BUT LET ME SAY THIS.
18:37:51 WHERE YOU STAND NOW IS IT'S BEFORE YOU FOR FIRST READING.
18:37:55 YOU HAVE THE STAFF REPORT, AND YOU HAVE THE CRITERIA FOR THE
18:38:02 SPECIAL USE IN FRONT OF YOU.
18:38:05 WHATEVER DECISION YOU HAVE TO MAKE, YOU'VE ALSO HEARD
18:38:09 MS. WELLS FROM THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT INFORM YOU THAT THERE IS
18:38:12 NO REQUIREMENT UNDER YOUR CODE FOR MEETING WITH THE
18:38:17 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
18:38:19 AND A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UNDER YOUR CODE, IS NOT
18:38:22 GRANTED ANY VETO RIGHTS ON ANY PARTICULAR PROJECT.
18:38:25 THEY, JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE, HAVE TO PROVIDE COMPETENT
18:38:29 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE UPON WHICH YOU MUST BASE YOUR VOTE,
18:38:32 ABSENT WHICH IT WOULD BE ERROR TO DENY IT IN THE ABSENCE OF
18:38:36 COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
18:38:38 I WOULD REMIND YOU OF THAT, IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW COUNCIL
18:38:42 ULTIMATELY GOES.
18:38:43 BUT ON THE CHANCE, MR. CHAIRMAN THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME
18:38:47 SORT OF ISSUES WITH THIS, WHAT I HAVE NOT DONE, I ASK THAT I
18:38:50 DO NOW, IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS
18:38:53 RELATIVE TO ANY OF TONIGHT'S HEARINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
18:38:56 AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION THAT THEY BE RECEIVED AND
18:38:59 FILED INTO THE RECORD AT THIS TIME BY MOTION PLEASE.
18:39:01 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
18:39:02 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED.
18:39:04 >>LUIS VIERA: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
18:39:06 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
18:39:08 ALL IN FAVOR?
18:39:09 ANY OPPOSED?
18:39:09 THANK YOU, SIR.
18:39:10 YOU MAY CONTINUE.
18:39:11 I APOLOGIZE.
18:39:13 >>JOSEPH CITRO: FILE NUMBER SU 2-19-10, AN APPLICANT --
18:39:20 EXCUSE ME, AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING
18:39:24 CONSIDERATION.

18:41:42 COMMISSION STAFF.
18:41:42 WE'RE IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE
18:41:45 WESTSHORE BUSINESS CENTER AND DREW PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:41:47 THERE IS A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT 1500 FEET TO THE EAST OF THE
18:41:51 SUBJECT SITE.
18:41:53 LEVEL E EVACUATION ZONE.
18:41:55 THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL, LIGHT
18:41:59 INDUSTRIAL, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME RESIDENCES TO THE SOUTH,
18:42:02 WHICH IS WEST MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD AND THIS IS
18:42:05 NORTH MANHATTAN AVENUE.
18:42:07 THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY STORE TO THE NORTH AND THEN WE
18:42:10 HAVE SOME FRINGE AIRPORT USES.
18:42:14 THE FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMMUNITY
18:42:16 COMMERCIAL 35.
18:42:18 THAT IS THE RED.
18:42:19 THAT ALLOWS FOR COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES.
18:42:21 TO THE SOUTH IS RESIDENTIAL 20.
18:42:24 THAT'S WHERE WE TRANSITION TO SOME RESIDENTIAL USES AND THEN

18:42:42 THIS AREA HAS ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED WITH HEAVY INDUSTRIAL

18:42:56 PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35.
18:43:00 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

18:49:13 ITEM NUMBER 4 IS THE APPLICATION REZ 20-01.

18:49:21 THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RS-60
18:49:23 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO RS-50 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
18:49:28 TO ALLOW FOR TWO DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
18:49:31 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
18:49:36 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
18:49:37 COMMISSION STAFF.
18:49:38 THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS AN UPDATED REPORT THAT I'M GOING
18:49:41 TO SUBMIT FOR THE RECORD AND I HAVE ENOUGH COPIES AVAILABLE.
18:49:44 THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING
18:49:58 DISTRICT, JUST SOUTH OF WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
18:50:01 THERE'S A TRANSIT STOP ABOUT 0.1-MILE TO THE NORTH OF THE
18:50:05 SITE AT THE CORNER OF WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD AND NORTH HIMES
18:50:08 AVENUE WHICH IS ABOUT HERE.
18:50:10 THIS IS WHERE THE SUBJECT SITE IS.
18:50:12 CHARLES B. WILLIAMS PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL
18:50:15 FACILITY LOCATED ABOUT 1.2 MILES TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT
18:50:18 SITE, AND THIS IS LOCATED IN EVACUATION ZONE D.
18:50:22 I HAVE AN AERIAL UP ON THE SCREEN.
18:50:25 THERE ARE A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES ALONG WEST KENNEDY
18:50:27 BOULEVARD, BUT THEN IT TRANSITIONS AS WE MOVE SOUTH TO THE
18:50:31 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WILL BE APPARENT
18:50:35 ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
18:50:37 WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD IS A DESIGNATED TRANSIT EMPHASIS
18:50:40 AREA.
18:50:40 THIS IS AN AREA IN THE CITY WHERE WE PROMOTE TRANSIT OPTIONS
18:50:44 AND BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THE COMMERCIAL USES.
18:50:47 THE FUTURE LAND USE IS URBAN 60.
18:50:49 ORANGE COLOR IS RESIDENTIAL 10.
18:50:52 THAT IS THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD PRESENT TO THE SOUTH OF
18:50:54 WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
18:50:55 AND RESIDENTIAL 10 IS PRIMARILY A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
18:50:59 NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:50:59 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
18:51:02 RESIDENTIAL 10 ALLOWS FOR UP TO 10 DWELLING UNITS
18:51:06 PRESENTATION.
18:51:08 THAT'S THE MAXIMUM DENSITY.
18:51:09 THE EXISTING DENSITY OF THIS SITE, IF IT IS DEVELOPED WITH
18:51:15 TWO DWELLING UNITS WILL BE 5.8 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS
18:51:19 CONSISTENT WITH THAT RESIDENTIAL TEN FUTURE LAND USE
18:51:22 DESIGNATION, AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
18:51:24 PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
18:51:27 AND WE FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OR
18:51:31 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE GRAY GABLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:51:35 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
18:51:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT CHANGED FROM YOUR ORIGINAL REPORT TO
18:51:40 THIS REPORT?
18:51:42 >>JENNIFER MALONE: IT'S A LITTLE EMBARRASSING.
18:51:47 THERE WERE -- IT WAS A MISTAKE.
18:51:48 THERE WERE SOME URBAN VILLAGE POLICIES IN THE ORIGINAL
18:51:52 REPORT THAT DID NOT APPLY TO THIS REQUEST.
18:51:55 WHEN I REALIZED IT, IT WAS DELETED AND WE GOT THE NEW REPORT
18:51:59 OUT TO YOU.
18:51:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.

18:52:12 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
18:52:12 AGAIN, THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING REQUEST, THEREFORE THERE
18:52:15 ARE NO WAIVERS PERMITTED.
18:52:17 THE APPLICANT AGAIN IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT
18:52:19 111 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE FROM RS 60 TO RS 50 TO ALLOW FOR
18:52:24 THE TWO DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
18:52:26 THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS TWO PLOTTED LOTS, LOTS 91 AND 92,
18:52:29 OF THE GRAY GABLES SUBDIVISION PLAT.
18:52:32 LOTS 91 AND 92 EACH MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 54 FEET BY
18:52:36 135 FEET WHICH EQUATES TO 7,290 SQUARE FEET AND HALF OF A
18:52:40 VACATED ALLEY FOR A TOTAL SITE AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 7,506
18:52:45 SQUARE FEET FOR EACH LOT.
18:52:46 GRAY GABLES SUBDIVISION IS THIS INSIDE BLOCK HERE.

18:53:16 RS-60 ZONING DISTRICT.
18:53:18 DEVELOPMENT MUST ADHERE TO ALL CITY OF TAMPA LAND
18:53:21 DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AT TIME OF PERMITTING.
18:53:23 I WOULD LIKE TO PUT ALSO THE SUBDIVISION MAP ON SCREEN.
18:53:27 IT IS IN YOUR STAFF REPORTS BUT JUST TO HIGHLIGHT IT AS
18:53:30 WELL.
18:53:30 THE GRAY GABLES SUBDIVISION WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN 1925
18:53:34 WITH LOTS THAT RANGE IN WIDTH FROM 50 FEET TO 148 FEET WITH
18:53:38 A TYPICAL AVERAGE LOT WIDTH OF 50 TO 54 FEET AND DEPTH
18:53:42 VARYING FROM 61 FEET TO 150 FEET.
18:53:44 THE SUBDIVISION PLAT OF GRAY GABLES SUBDIVISION CONTAINS
18:53:49 FIVE BLOCKS.
18:53:49 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN LOTS 91 AND 92, AND THE
18:53:53 SUBJECT APPLICATION SEEKS TO REESTABLISH THE ORIGINAL
18:53:56 PLATTED LOTS TO CREATE TWO BUILDABLE LOTS.
18:53:59 HERE'S OUR CONFORMING MAP.
18:54:07 THE OVERALL AREA OF ANALYSIS INCLUDES THE ENTIRETY OF THE
18:54:12 GRAY GABLES SUBDIVISION PLAT.
18:54:15 THE ANALYSIS INCLUDED 109 TOTAL ZONING LOTS.
18:54:19 67 OR 61 PERCENT OF THOSE LOTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH
18:54:22 WIDTHS OF 60 FEET OR GREATER AND 42 OR 39 PERCENT HAVE BEEN
18:54:26 DEVELOPED WITH WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
18:54:29 AND THOSE ARE TYPICALLY HISTORICALLY PLATTED LOTS.
18:54:32 PURSUANT TO THE REVIEW OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,
18:54:35 THE SUBJECT BLOCK CONTAINS 25 TOTAL ZONING LOTS, 17 OR 68%
18:54:41 OF THOSE LOTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH WIDTHS OF 60 FEET OR
18:54:43 GREATER AND 8 OR 32 PERCENT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH LOT
18:54:47 WIDTHS OF 59.99 OR LESS.
18:54:50 AGAIN, TYPICALLY HISTORIC PLATTED LOT.
18:54:52 THE 100 TO 200 BLOCK OF SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE WHICH IS ON
18:54:56 BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET CONTAINS 25 TOTAL ZONING LOTS.
18:55:00 13 OR 52% OF THOSE LOTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF
18:55:03 60 FEET OR GREATER AND 12 OR 48 PERCENT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED
18:55:06 WITH A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
18:55:09 THE TOTAL -- TOTAL OF 29% OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK FACE HAS BEEN
18:55:13 DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 59.99 FEET OR LESS.
18:55:17 STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE
18:55:20 STUDY AREA, SUBJECT BLOCK ADDRESS RANGE, AND BLOCK FACE ARE
18:55:25 COMPOSED PRIMARILY OF LOTS GREATER THAN 60 FEET IN WIDTH.
18:55:29 HOWEVER, STAFF PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT LARGER LOT WIDTHS
18:55:31 ARE RESORT OF MAJORITY OF LOTS WITH TRAPEZOIDAL SHAPE WITH
18:55:35 WIDEST PART FRONTING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
18:55:38 SUBJECT PROPERTY, AS WELL AS LOTS RUN DIRECTLY EAST AND WEST
18:55:41 ARE RECTANGLES AND MAJORITY LESS THAN 60 FEET IN WIDTH.
18:55:45 STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED REESTABLISHMENT OF THE ORIGINAL
18:55:47 PLATTED LOTS CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
18:55:49 PATTERN OF THE BLOCK FACE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
18:55:51 THERE WERE NO HISTORIC LANDMARK STRUCTURES WITHIN A THOUSAND
18:55:55 FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:55:57 I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE SURROUNDING
18:55:59 AREA.
18:56:03 THIS IS 109, GOING TO 209.
18:56:10 211.
18:56:14 212, 210, 114.
18:56:19 112.

18:56:24 THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
18:56:26 APPLICATION AND AGAIN FINDS IT CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF
18:56:28 TAMPA DEVELOPMENT CODE.
18:56:30 STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

18:56:34 ANY QUESTIONS?

18:56:44 >> THANK YOU.
18:56:44 MY NAME IS J.P. GUZZARDO.
18:56:52 TAMPA, FLORIDA.
18:56:52 THE HOME UNDER CONSTRUCTION IS LOCATED AT 210 SOUTH GUNLOCK,
18:56:56 DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
18:56:59 I WILL BRIEFLY BREEZE THROUGH THIS, IF I COULD TO REITERATE
18:57:04 SOME OF STAFF'S FINDINGS.
18:57:06 AS MENTIONED, THE SUBJECT REQUEST IS THE GRAY GABLES GREATER
18:57:09 NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:57:09 KENNEDY TO THE NORTH, AZEELE TO THE SOUTH, BORDERED ALSO BY
18:57:13 HIMES AND BEVERLY.
18:57:15 STAFF MENTIONED IT WAS PLATTED IN 1925, CONSIDERING A WIDE
18:57:22 RANGE OF LOT WIDTHS RANGING FROM 50 TO 100 FEET AND LOT DEP
18:57:27 AS LITTLE AS 160 FEET, WHICH IS INTERESTING TO 150.
18:57:30 THE REASON FOR THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A NORMAL
18:57:34 PARALLEL, PERPENDICULAR POSITIONED NEIGHBORHOOD, IF YOU
18:57:37 WILL.
18:57:38 THERE'S SOME ODD CONFIGURATION WITH THE TRAPEZOIDAL AND EVEN
18:57:42 TRIANGULAR SHAPED LOTS HERE.
18:57:43 THE MAJORITY OF LOTS, ALTHOUGH LESS THAN 60 FEET IN WIDTH,
18:57:47 CONTAIN OVER 6,000 FEET IN THE AREA.
18:57:50 ONE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE IS THERE IS A
18:57:53 REQUIREMENT PER THE PLAT THAT THE HOMES BE SET BACK AT
18:57:55 25 FEET FROM THE FRONT BUILDING SETBACK, WHICH IS CONSISTENT
18:57:58 WITH RS-16 ZONING.
18:58:00 TYPICALLY THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE 20 FEET IF
18:58:02 IT'S AN RS-50.
18:58:04 SO WHAT THE REQUEST IS FOR TODAY IS THE REESTABLISHMENT OF
18:58:08 THE ORIGINALLY PLATTED LOTS, 54 BY 139.
18:58:11 ACTUALLY 135, BUT THEY VACATED THE ALLEYWAY WHICH MAKES THEM
18:58:15 NOW 139.
18:58:16 EACH OF THE LOTS WILL CONTAIN OVER 7,506 SQUARE FEET, WHICH
18:58:21 IS SUBSTANTIALLY IN EXCESS OF THE RS 60 MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.
18:58:25 EACH OF THE LOTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RS 60 AREA BUT DON'T
18:58:28 MEET THE TECHNICAL WIDTH AT THE FRONTAGE THAT IS REQUIRED.
18:58:31 THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.
18:58:33 I BRIEFLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SUBJECT BLOCK FACE, WHICH
18:58:36 REALLY RUNS FROM WEST GRAY GABLE COURT DOWN TO GRAY GABLES
18:58:40 SOUTH HERE.
18:58:41 MAJORITY OF THESE ARE PREDOMINANTLY LESS THAN 60 FEET.
18:58:46 ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S
18:58:49 PREDOMINANTLY 50 BY 139 AVERAGE SIZED LOTS.
18:58:54 9 OF THE 11 LOTS ARE DEVELOPED AT LESS THAN THE 60 FEET.
18:58:58 AND THEN ON THE WEST SIDE, YOU HAVE LOTS THAT ARE 50 BY 135
18:59:02 AVERAGE IN FOUR OF THOSE SEVEN LOTS WERE ESTABLISHED.
18:59:05 SO YOU'VE GOT 52% THERE.
18:59:07 SO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS REALLY ONE HOUSE PER
18:59:11 ONE PLATTED LOT AS ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED IN THE 1925 PLAT
18:59:16 THAT'S THERE.
18:59:17 THIS IS THE MAP THAT STAFF WAS PROVIDED.
18:59:21 LOTS OF COLORS, LOTS OF VARIETY, LOTS OF DIFFERENT LOT SIZES
18:59:25 GOING ON IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:59:26 I WOULD LIKE TO JUST POINT OUT THAT THE LOTS AS MENTIONED BY
18:59:30 STAFF, SOME OF WHICH ARE 80 FEET IN FRONTAGE NARROW DOWN TO
18:59:33 40 FEET IN THE BACK.
18:59:34 SO THESE ARE REALLY PIE-SHAPED LOTS AS YOU GET TOWARDS THE
18:59:37 CORNERS HERE AS YOU ENTER THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
18:59:40 THE PROPOSED LOT AREA IS COMPATIBLE.
18:59:43 I TOOK REALLY WHAT'S CALLED THE CORE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IF
18:59:46 YOU WILL, THAT RUNS, IF WE ELIMINATED THE PIE-SHAPED LOTS
18:59:50 AND THERE'S EFFECTIVELY 37 LOTS IN THAT GIVEN AREA, OF WHICH
18:59:55 24 ARE DEVELOPED AS ORIGINALLY PLATTED ON EITHER 54 OR
19:00:00 50-FOOT LOTS.
19:00:01 ON THE SUBJECT BLOCK FACE, THERE ARE 18 LOTS, WHICH 13 OF
19:00:05 THEM, 72% ARE EITHER 50 OR 54 FEET.
19:00:09 AND THEN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BLOCK FACE THERE, THEY WERE
19:00:12 ORIGINALLY PLATTED AS 50-FOOT IN WIDTH.
19:00:15 THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND POLICIES,
19:00:18 CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL CHARACTER.
19:00:20 I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION HERE ALREADY TODAY ABOUT
19:00:23 OVERALL PRECEDENT AND WHAT THEY MAY MEAN.
19:00:27 THERE'S ONLY SIX OTHER LOTS WITHIN THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD
19:00:29 THAT COULD BE SPLIT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM AND FOUR OF
19:00:33 THOSE ARE OVER 120 FEET.
19:00:34 THOSE ARE THE ODD-SHAPED TRIANGLE PIECES HERE, HERE, AND
19:00:38 HERE.
19:00:41 WHICH COULD BASICALLY BE SPLIT AS THEY SEE FIT WITHOUT
19:00:45 HAVING TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU.
19:00:47 SO THERE'S REALLY ONLY TWO OTHER LOTS THAT WOULD BE IN
19:00:49 QUESTION THAT WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO COME BEFORE YOU FOR THE
19:00:52 RS-60 TO RS-50 ZONING IN THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:00:56 IT IS A LOT DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT, 108 FEET
19:00:59 WIDE.
19:01:00 TWO 54-FOOT LOTS AND ALSO A LOT HERE THAT IS 101 FEET WIDE.
19:01:04 THIS WAS JUST REAL QUICK, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THE
19:01:09 DISTINCTIVE DIFFERENCE.
19:01:10 I KNOW STAFF MENTIONED THIS.
19:01:11 THIS IS ON THE BLOCK FACE AS WE RUN NORTH-SOUTH.
19:01:14 THE BLOCK FACE THAT'S IN QUESTION.
19:01:16 SO THIS IS A 60-FOOT LOT GREATER THAN 60-FOOT LOT.
19:01:21 THEN WE GO HERE, 50-FOOT LOT, 50-FOOT LOT, 50-FOOT LOT,
19:01:25 55-FOOT LOT ORIGINALLY PLATTED AS 50-FOOT LOT BUT THERE WAS
19:01:29 A VACATED WALKWAY EASEMENT THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE PROPERTY
19:01:32 OWNER.
19:01:33 THIS BECAME A 55-FOOT LOT.
19:01:35 50-FOOT LOT.
19:01:36 50-FOOT LOT.
19:01:37 50-FOOT LOT.
19:01:38 THIS IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN 60 FEET.
19:01:42 THIS IS 50-FOOT WIDE LOT AS WELL, ANOTHER 50-FOOTER.
19:01:46 WEST SIDE, LESS THAN 60 FEET.
19:01:49 THIS IS THE OTHER SUBJECT PROPERTY THAT IS 108 FEET WIDE,
19:01:52 OUT OF CHARACTER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:01:54 I WOULD SUGGEST THIS ONE IS OVER 60 FEET.
19:01:58 NOW WE HAVE A 52-FOOT WIDE LOT.
19:02:01 NOW WE HAVE A 57-FOOT WIDE LOT.
19:02:03 THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WHICH IS THE 108 FEET AND
19:02:06 AGAIN, THIS IS WHEN WE START TO MAKE THE CURVE AS WE GO
19:02:09 NORTH TO KENNEDY.
19:02:10 80-FOOT OF FRONTAGE SHRINKS DOWN TO 40 FEET IN THE BACK.
19:02:13 I JUST WANTED TO SHOW KIND OF THE OVERALL CONSISTENCY THERE.
19:02:17 THE MAP THAT STAFF PROVIDED REALLY DEMONSTRATED NO
19:02:23 PREDOMINANCE OF A PATTERN IN THE OVERALL AREA.
19:02:25 IF THERE WAS A PATTERN ESTABLISHED, I WOULD SUGGEST GOING
19:02:28 BACK TO THE PREVIOUS MAP THAT WOULD BE IN THAT CORE AREA,
19:02:32 THE LOTS UNDER 60 FEET IN NATURE.
19:02:35 IT'S AN INTERESTING ENCLAVE OF COMMERCIAL USES THERE ON THE
19:02:39 NORTH SIDE AND THEN REALLY CORE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT
19:02:41 THERE TO THE SOUTH.
19:02:44 VERY CHARACTERISTIC OF THE REQUEST, PRESERVE, MAINTAINING
19:02:49 AND CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD AND STAFF HAD
19:02:52 MENTIONED.
19:02:54 ALTHOUGH THE LOTS ARE 60 -- NOT 60 FEET IN WIDTH, THEY DO
19:03:00 COMPOSE OF OVER THE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT THAT WOULD BE
19:03:04 REQUIRED FOR THE RS-60.
19:03:06 I WON'T BORE YOU WITH THIS.
19:03:12 BASICALLY QUOTES FROM THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
19:03:14 POLICIES, BOTH SAYING THAT THE REQUEST IS IN LINE WITH THE
19:03:19 REQUEST, INCONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
19:03:23 THE TAMPA COMP PLAN.
19:03:25 IN CONCLUSION HERE, THE FINAL REPORTS THAT WERE PROVIDED BY
19:03:33 STAFF -- WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
19:03:36 THE PLANNING COMMISSION FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH
19:03:38 THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:03:39 THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING
19:03:42 CHARACTER OF THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
19:03:46 FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
19:03:49 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
19:03:51 ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?
19:03:52 THANK YOU, SIR.
19:03:53 ANYONE HERE TO COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
19:03:55 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
19:03:57 GO AHEAD, FOLKS.
19:03:58 BY A SHOW OF HANDS, JUST SO WE KNOW, HOW MANY FOLKS ARE
19:04:07 PLANNING ON SPEAKING FOR ITEM NUMBER 4?
19:04:09 IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DO SO, STAND UP AND GO LINE YOURSELVES UP
19:04:13 THERE AGAINST THE WALL, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
19:04:16 WE APPRECIATE IT.
19:04:17 GO AHEAD, SIR.
19:04:18 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:04:18 MY NAME IS BRUCE CLARKE.
19:04:20 I HAVE RESIDED AT 212 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE FOR THE PAST 19
19:04:24 YEARS.
19:04:25 I OPPOSE THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE FOR THE FOLLOWING
19:04:29 REASONS.
19:04:29 THERE ARE ONLY 30 PARTIES IN ALL OF GRAY GABLES THAT ARE
19:04:32 54 FEET OR LESS.
19:04:34 THERE ARE 79 PARCELS, INCLUDING THE PETITION'S THAT ARE
19:04:38 55 FEET OR GREATER.
19:04:40 I DISPUTE THE FINDING OF A STAFF REPORT THAT THE REZONING IS
19:04:43 CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
19:04:45 I AM REQUESTING THAT THE CHARACTER OF THE ENTIRE
19:04:48 NEIGHBORHOOD OF GRAY GABLES BE PRESERVED AND NOT DETERMINED
19:04:51 BY THE ARBITRARY BLOCK FACE AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
19:04:55 THIS WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
19:04:58 PLAN 9.3.8, WHICH STATES IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY THAT
19:05:02 NEW RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS SHALL BE MINIMALLY
19:05:05 DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT AREAS, IMPACTS OF RESIDENTIAL
19:05:09 DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND
19:05:11 THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.
19:05:14 AND TAMPA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 27-11, WHICH STATES, NEWLY
19:05:19 CREATED LOTS MUST MAINTAIN THE FRONT ORIENTATION AND
19:05:23 HISTORICAL PRECEDENT PATTERN OF PARCEL CONFIGURATION IN THE
19:05:26 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:05:26 THE STAFF REPORT ALSO CITES POLICY 1.3.10.
19:05:33 THEY CITE IT IN SUPPORT OF CHANGE IN CONFIGURATION WHERE THE
19:05:38 POLICY ACTUALLY STATES BUILD WITHIN THE EXISTING STREET
19:05:40 BLOCK AND LOT CONFIGURATION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:05:43 THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF GRAY GABLES IS DUE IN NO SMALL PART
19:05:48 TO THE DIVERSITY OF THE LOT SIZES.
19:05:50 THIS GIVES A VERY DIFFERENT FEEL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH
19:05:52 IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE DECISION MANY OF US HAVE MADE
19:05:55 TO LIVE HERE.
19:05:56 THE RS-60 DESIGNATION WAS APPLIED IN 1987.
19:06:00 AT THAT TIME, THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT WAS WELL
19:06:03 ESTABLISHED IN GRAY GABLES AND CERTAINLY WELL-KNOWN TO CITY
19:06:07 PLANNERS AND THE COUNCIL.
19:06:08 THE EFFECT OF RS-60 IS TO MAINTAIN THE UNIQUE
19:06:12 CHARACTERISTICS OF PARTS OF TAMPA BY PREVENTING THE CREATION
19:06:14 OF SMALLER LOTS.
19:06:16 PLEASE DON'T GO AGAINST THIS INTENT.
19:06:18 PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGE.
19:06:20 THANK YOU.
19:06:21 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:06:22 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:06:24 >> HELLO.
19:06:30 MICHAEL VICARI.
19:06:31 I LIVE IN GRAY GABLES ALSO.
19:06:33 I WANTED TO ADDRESS THREE MAIN POINTS AND PETITION AGAINST
19:06:38 THIS ZONING CHANGE IS CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE
19:06:40 NEIGHBORHOOD, DISCUSS THE RS-60 ZONING, AND ALSO THE
19:06:44 MOTIVATION BEHIND THIS.
19:06:46 FIRST THING IS THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS IN THIS AREA ARE
19:06:50 60 FEET AND WIDER.
19:06:52 HE SAID IT HIMSELF, OVER 60%.
19:06:55 THAT CREATES THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT YOU HAVE
19:06:56 BIGGER LOTS.
19:06:57 IF YOU CONTINUE TO SPLIT THE LOTS AND ALLOW IT, THEN YOU'RE
19:07:01 CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:07:03 IF YOU BRING IT BACK DOWN TO THE 50-50 RANGE OR LESS THAN
19:07:06 50%, 60-FOOT FRONTAGE, YOU'RE DEFINITELY CHANGING THE
19:07:11 CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:07:12 THE OTHER THING I WORRY ABOUT, TWO EMPTY LOTS SYMMETRICAL
19:07:16 SIDE BY SIDE.
19:07:16 THAT LENDS TO A BUILDER COMING IN AND BUILDING THE EXACT
19:07:21 SAME HOUSE.
19:07:22 IT HAPPENED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT GOT PAST THE
19:07:24 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
19:07:25 ONCE THOSE HOUSES WERE BUILT, EVERYBODY WAS FURIOUS IN THE
19:07:29 NEIGHBORHOOD AND WROTE LETTERS BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BECAUSE
19:07:31 THE ZONING CHANGE HAD TAKEN PLACE.
19:07:34 IT ALSO DRAWS A LARGER HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:07:37 WHEN YOU'RE PAYING $350,000 FOR A LOT, PEOPLE TEND TO
19:07:41 MAXIMIZE THEIR SQUARE FOOTAGE.
19:07:43 YOU GET A LARGE RECTANGULAR HOUSE WHICH IS NOT THE
19:07:47 CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:07:49 RS-60 ZONING IS THE CURRENT ZONING.
19:07:53 IT SHOULD BE UPHELD AS THERE IS NO VALID OR CRITICAL REASON
19:07:55 TO OVERRIDE THE CURRENT ZONING.
19:07:58 IT'S A LAW.
19:07:59 IT'S THERE FOR A PURPOSE AND IT WAS SET IN PLACE.
19:08:02 I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ORIGINAL
19:08:10 PALLET.
19:08:11 THAT WAS THERE AS A GUIDE.
19:08:13 SOME POINT OVERRULED THAT.
19:08:14 RS-60 AS WELL AS EVERYTHING AROUND US RIGHT NOW.
19:08:17 THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS RS-60 ZONING.
19:08:21 THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THIS, THE PERSON REQUESTING THE CHANGE
19:08:25 RIGHT NOW DOES NOT CURRENTLY OWN THE PROPERTY.
19:08:29 HE IS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER, AND SO HE WANTS TO SPLIT IT
19:08:32 TO SPLIT TWO LOTS AND MAKE MONEY ON IT.
19:08:35 HE DOES NOT OWN THAT PROPERTY.
19:08:37 THIS IS NOT ABOUT REASON TO CIRCUMVENT ZONING LAWS.
19:08:42 THE ZONING IS RS-60.
19:08:45 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE PETITIONER WILL CLOSE ON THIS PIECE
19:08:51 OF PROPERTY IF THIS ZONING IS NOT GRANTED.
19:08:54 IF YOU SPLIT IT UP INTO TWO, THERE'S PLENTY OF MONEY TO BE
19:08:57 MADE AND THEN HE'LL CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY.
19:09:00 IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT.
19:09:01 THIS IS NOT BEING DONE TO BETTER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:09:04 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:09:05 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:09:09 >> HELLO.
19:09:11 MY NAME IS KATRINA FEYERABEND.
19:09:14 I LIVE AT 219 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE, ONE OF THE HOMES
19:09:20 PICTURED EARLIER.
19:09:21 I WOULD BE AGAINST THE CHANGE FOR THE REASONS FOR DENSITY,
19:09:25 ADDING TWO HOMES TO THIS ONE SINGLE LOT IS -- WOULD INCREASE
19:09:31 THE DENSITY SO MUCH.
19:09:32 AND THE REASON WHY I FIND IT PROBLEMATIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
19:09:35 IS WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN THIS STREET, SOME MORNINGS YOU CAN
19:09:39 BARELY GET DOWN THE STREET, THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES ON
19:09:42 THE STREET.
19:09:42 I KNOW YESTERDAY MORNING WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, I HAD
19:09:46 TO SIT AND WAIT AS THERE WERE PROBABLY TEN CARS IN FRONT OF
19:09:49 ME PARKED ON THE STREET WAITING FOR OTHER CARS TO PASS
19:09:52 BEFORE MY CAR WAS ABLE TO DRIVE.
19:09:54 I FEEL THAT WITH CHANGING THE LOT FROM ALLOWING FROM ONE
19:09:58 HOME TO TWO HOMES ON THERE WOULD ONLY ADD TO EXACERBATE A
19:10:03 PROBLEM THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAS WITH MANY CARS ON
19:10:06 THE STREET AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE INGRESS AND EGRESS IN
19:10:10 AND OUT OF INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCES.
19:10:12 FOR THOSE REASONS, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU DENY IT.
19:10:14 THANK YOU.
19:10:15 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
19:10:16 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:10:19 >> BECKY ROTHROCK.
19:10:21 I OWN 217 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE AND 204 SOUTH HIMES.
19:10:25 BUILT IN 1940 AND IN THE GRAY GABLES NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:10:29 I KEEP HEARING THE WORD CHARACTER AND CHARACTER OVER AND
19:10:31 OVER AGAIN.
19:10:32 IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH GRAY GABLES, YOU SHOULD BE.
19:10:35 IT IS THE BEST NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY.
19:10:37 WE DO HAVE THAT OVAL, IF YOU NOTICED IT ON THE DRAWINGS
19:10:39 WHERE PEOPLE WALK.
19:10:40 A FRONT LOADER THAT IS OUT OF PROPORTION WITH THE LOT WITH
19:10:44 NONUNIFORM SETBACK IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THAT
19:10:47 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:10:48 WE LOVED IT SO MUCH WE BOUGHT A COTTAGE TO KEEP IT FROM
19:10:53 BEING TORN DOWN.
19:10:54 DENSITY IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.
19:10:56 THIS SCHOOL YEAR ALONE, I WATCHED THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
19:11:01 BACK UP THE STREET IN THE SAME AREA.
19:11:03 WATCHED GARBAGE TRUCKS NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS OUR GARBAGE
19:11:07 CANS BECAUSE OF THE PARKING ON THE STREET.
19:11:10 UPS TRUCKS, FEDEX TRUCKS.
19:11:13 REGULAR OCCURRENCE.
19:11:14 I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.
19:11:16 I ASK YOU PLEASE TO VOTE AGAINST IT.
19:11:17 THIS IS THE KIND OF HOMES WHERE WE HAVE HOMEOWNERS TEARING
19:11:22 DOWN HOMES AND REBUILDING FOR THEMSELVES.
19:11:24 IT'S NOT THE PLACE FOR DEVELOPERS AND HOMES THAT ARE OUT OF
19:11:27 SCALE.
19:11:28 THANK YOU.
19:11:30 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
19:11:31 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:11:32 >> HELLO.
19:11:32 SCOTT TAYLOR.
19:11:33 219 SOUTH GUNLOCK JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM THE PROPERTY
19:11:37 WE'RE MENTIONING.
19:11:38 I ALSO OWN THE PROPERTY BEHIND MY HOUSE ON HIMES AVENUE.
19:11:42 REALLY JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT THE REST OF MY NEIGHBORS
19:11:45 ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:11:47 IT DOES HAVE A LOT OF CHARACTER.
19:11:50 KEEP IT AS BEST WE CAN.
19:11:52 MORE IMPORTANTLY FOR ME IS THE PARKING.
19:11:53 LIKE KATRINA SAID, REAL PROBLEM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:11:56 STREETS ARE VERY NARROW.
19:11:57 WE FEEL LIKE HAVING TWO HOUSES THERE WOULD CREATE EVEN MORE
19:12:01 OF AN ISSUE THERE.
19:12:02 THAT'S REALLY THE MAIN CONCERN WE HAVE IS THE PARKING AND
19:12:04 CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:12:06 THANK YOU.
19:12:07 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:12:08 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:12:12 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:12:14 MY NAME IS JAMIE ELLIS.
19:12:16 I LIVE AT 214 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE.
19:12:19 LIVED THERE FOR 32 YEARS AND MOVED BACK IN AFTER I GOT
19:12:23 MARRIED, AS I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN GRAY GABLES ALSO.
19:12:26 MOST OF WHAT I CAME TO SAY HAS BEEN SAID.
19:12:29 BUT WHAT I HOPE TO HEAR FROM THE PERSON PUTTING THIS FORTH
19:12:35 WAS SOME HARDSHIP, WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY CRITICAL WHEN YOU
19:12:39 WANT A VARIANCE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SHOW SOME SORT OF A
19:12:41 HARDSHIP.
19:12:42 I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT.
19:12:44 THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:12:47 IF YOU WANT TO DEVELOP A LARGE HOUSE, THE HOUSING PRICES
19:12:52 RIGHT NOW ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE, AND I THINK -- I
19:12:56 HAVEN'T HEARD ANY HARDSHIP, ANY BURDEN THAT IS PRESENTED BY
19:13:01 THE CURRENT ZONING.
19:13:04 I HOPE YOU WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ZONING TO BE CHANGED AND THAT
19:13:09 WOULD BE WHY I CAME TO TALK.
19:13:11 THANK YOU.
19:13:11 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:13:12 NEXT, PLEASE.
19:13:15 >> HI.
19:13:16 I'M JENNY CLARKE.
19:13:18 I LIVE AT 212 SOUTH GUNLOCK, JUST ACROSS THE STREET AND OVER
19:13:23 FROM THE SUBJECT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
19:13:26 I'VE LIVED IN GRAY GABLES FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, AND WE CHOSE
19:13:31 THE PROPERTY BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING THE WAY IT IS
19:13:37 AT THE CURRENT TIME.
19:13:38 IT HAS CHARACTER AS EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID, AND IT IS TRULY
19:13:43 A NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT JUST A PLACE TO LIVE.
19:13:45 THE EFFECT OF THE EXISTING RS-60 ZONING IS TO PREVENT THE
19:13:50 ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY NEW LOTS LESS THAN 60 FEET IN WIDTH,
19:13:55 WHICH IS SUPPORTED IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 9.3.8,
19:13:59 AND THE TAMPA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 27-11, REGARDING THE
19:14:05 PRESERVATION OF THE CHARACTER OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
19:14:09 INCREASING THE NUMBER OF HOMES IN A NEIGHBORHOOD CLEARLY
19:14:13 CHANGES CHARACTER AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, AND THOSE HAVE BEEN
19:14:18 SPOKEN OF.
19:14:19 THE STAFF REPORT USES ARBITRARY, QUOTES, BLOCK FACE
19:14:23 STANDARDS TO DETERMINE THE ACCEPTABILITY OF REZONING
19:14:29 REQUESTS BY CONSIDERING ONLY THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND NOT THE
19:14:34 NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE.
19:14:35 GRAY GABLES IS A STABLE AREA WITH A CHARACTER DIFFERENT THAN
19:14:41 MANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS AND ADDING HOUSES AND PEOPLE BY
19:14:45 SPLITTING LOTS WILL DIMINISH ITS CHARACTER.
19:14:49 PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS ZONING REQUEST.
19:14:52 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
19:14:58 >> HELLO.
19:14:59 FRANK MARISELA, 218 SOUTH GLEN STREET, ONE STREET OVER FROM
19:15:03 THE APPLICANT'S ZONING REQUEST.
19:15:06 I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT.
19:15:08 I BELIEVE THE STAFF FINDING, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT'S
19:15:13 PRESENTATION ARE ACCURATE.
19:15:14 THE PROPERTY TYPES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:15:18 THANK YOU.
19:15:18 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:15:19 ANYONE ELSE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 4?
19:15:22 OKAY.
19:15:22 REBUTTAL, SIR.
19:15:23 APPLICANT, SIR.
19:15:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIR, BEFORE YOU DO, MR. SHELBY --
19:15:38 THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT HARDSHIP AND VARIANCES AND
19:15:40 WE'RE NOT A VARIANCE BOARD.
19:15:42 I WANTED TO HAVE A LITTLE CLARIFICATION SO THE RECORD WAS
19:15:46 CLEAR.
19:15:46 >>CATE WELLS: THANK YOU.
19:15:47 CATE WELLS, CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
19:15:50 TYPICALLY, A BOARD HAS TO ADDRESS HARDSHIP CRITERIA IF THE
19:15:53 REQUEST BEFORE IT IS FOR A VARIANCE.
19:15:55 THAT IS NOT TONIGHT'S REQUEST.
19:15:57 TONIGHT IS A REZONING FROM RS-60 TO RS-50 TO ALLOW A LOT
19:16:02 SPLIT.
19:16:03 WHEN AN APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A REZONING, WE ARE THEN
19:16:06 LOOKING, COUNCIL HAS TO APPLY THE CRITERIA IN THE CODE
19:16:09 THAT'S IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
19:16:11 AND THE CONCEPT OF HARDSHIP DOES NOT COME INTO PLAY,
19:16:14 ESPECIALLY BECAUSE NO WAIVERS ARE BEING REQUESTED.
19:16:17 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
19:16:18 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
19:16:18 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
19:16:19 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
19:16:20 GO AHEAD, SIR.
19:16:21 >> THANK YOU.
19:16:21 I WOULD JUST LIKE --
19:16:22 >>LUIS VIERA: STATE YOUR NAME.
19:16:24 >> J.P. GUZZARDO, FOR THE RECORD.
19:16:28 I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN REBUTTAL HERE.
19:16:31 WITH RESPECT TO NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT, THERE ARE A LOT OF
19:16:35 FOLKS HERE THAT HAVE OPPOSED.
19:16:37 I DID SEND AN E-MAIL TO BRUCE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
19:16:41 HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AS IT RELATES TO SENDING OUT MY
19:16:44 CONTACT INFORMATION, IF ANYONE WANTED TO REACH OUT TO ME,
19:16:47 THEY COULD.
19:16:47 I'M IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:16:48 210 SOUTH GUNLOCK, PEOPLE CAN FIND ME.
19:16:51 I DID MAKE AN EFFORT TO ENGAGE WITH THEM.
19:16:54 I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT FOR THE RECORD, SIGNATURES OF 25
19:16:58 PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE GRAY GABLES GREATER
19:17:01 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE IN SUPPORT.
19:17:02 I'D LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT FOR THE RECORD.
19:17:04 I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SHOW BRIEFLY -- I'M MESSING WITH THE
19:17:08 MICROPHONE -- THIS AS WELL FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED IN
19:17:14 SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT AS WELL.
19:17:15 SO I'D LIKE TO SUBMIT THIS FOR THE RECORD.
19:17:17 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT TECHNICALLY.
19:17:20 >>LUIS VIERA: YOU CAN HAND IT TO OUR ATTORNEY.
19:17:36 >> I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE, THERE ARE NO VARIANCES
19:17:39 REQUESTED HERE AT ALL.
19:17:41 AS IT RELATES TO THE PARKING, PART OF THE PARKING ISSUE IS
19:17:43 THAT SOME OF THESE HOMES HAVE DETACHED REAR GARAGES, AND
19:17:47 PEOPLE WILL PARK ONE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PARK THEIR
19:17:52 SUBSEQUENT CAR OUT ON THE STREET.
19:17:54 THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T WANT STREET PARKING
19:17:59 ON ONE SIDE AND THEN THEY SAY THEY DON'T WANT A DOUBLE
19:18:02 LOADED GARAGE, FRONT ENTRANCE ON THE OTHER IS A LITTLE BIT
19:18:05 OF A CONFLICT.
19:18:07 THERE ARE FRONT LOADED PRODUCT ALL THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
19:18:10 HOUSES, INCLUDING THE IMMEDIATE AREA THAT WE DISCUSSED.
19:18:13 WITH RESPECT TO THE BUILDER -- THIS IS ME.
19:18:26 THIS IS THE HOME MY WIFE AND I WILL BE LIVING IN HOPEFULLY
19:18:29 IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS.
19:18:30 WE DID GET OUR CO TODAY.
19:18:32 THANK YOU FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA, PAID OUR IMPACT FEES.
19:18:33 SO WE WILL BE LIVING HERE.
19:18:35 I UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:18:38 I WOULD SAY IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S OUT OF PLACE WITHIN
19:18:40 THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM A CONSISTENCY STANDPOINT, IS THE FACT
19:18:42 THAT YOU HAVE 108-FOOT LOT WHEN YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY LOTS
19:18:46 THAT ARE TYPICALLY 50, 55, AND LESS THAN 60 FEET IN NATURE.
19:18:52 SO WHAT YOU ALSO SEE FROM HERE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN
19:18:58 CHANGING.
19:19:00 WHAT'S SHOWN HERE IS THE 80% RULE FOR LOTS THAT WERE
19:19:04 ORIGINALLY TAKEN FROM ONE HOME ON TWO PLATTED LOTS AND
19:19:07 ULTIMATELY CAME BEFORE CITY STAFF TO GET THE 80% RULE TO
19:19:11 ESTABLISH TWO HOMES THAT COULD BE BUILT ON TWO SEPARATELY
19:19:14 PLATTED LOTS.
19:19:15 IF YOU LOOK, IT'S HAPPENED ONCE, TWICE, THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
19:19:18 SIX PLUS TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD DATING
19:19:22 BACK REALLY THE MAJORITY OF THESE IN THE '80s WHEN THIS
19:19:25 TOOK PLACE.
19:19:25 I THINK THAT WAS IT.
19:19:31 IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
19:19:34 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:19:35 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
19:19:36 >> I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THIS FOR THE RECORD AS WELL.
19:19:41 AND PICTURES OF THE FRONT FACES.
19:19:50 >>MARTIN SHELBY: PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY?
19:19:52 >> YES.
19:19:53 >>MARTIN SHELBY: EXHIBITS ARE GOING AROUND, ULTIMATELY.
19:19:55 IF THEY COULD MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE CLERK.
19:20:01 >>LUIS VIERA: NOTHING ELSE, SIR?
19:20:02 >> NO, SIR.
19:20:02 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
19:20:04 WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
19:20:06 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
19:20:08 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:20:09 ANY OPPOSED?
19:20:09 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
19:20:11 I'LL GO DOWN THE LINE IF I HAVE TO.
19:20:26 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, IN LIEU OF THAT, I DON'T
19:20:28 WANT TO BE HERE ALL NIGHT ON ONE ISSUE.
19:20:33 I'LL HANDLE IT AND SEE WHEREVER IT GOES.
19:20:35 THAT WAY WE CAN DISPOSE OF IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
19:20:38 THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 4.
19:20:40 FILE NUMBER REZ 20-01, MOVE AN ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST
19:20:47 READING CONSIDERATION.
19:20:48 ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 111
19:20:51 SOUTH GUNLOCK AVENUE, CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, MORE
19:20:54 PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM ZONING DISTRICT
19:20:56 CLASSIFICATION RS-60 (RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY) TO RS-50
19:21:00 (RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY); PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
19:21:04 THE PETITIONER HAS MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF SET FORTH BY THE
19:21:16 EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE CITY
19:21:19 STAFF AND IT'S COMPARABLE WITH THE STANDARDS OF THE CITY
19:21:23 CODE.
19:21:24 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:21:26 A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
19:21:28 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:21:29 ANY OPPOSED?
19:21:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NAY.
19:21:40 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AYE.
19:21:42 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AYE.
19:21:43 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AYE.
19:21:44 >>BILL CARLSON: NAY.
19:21:45 >>LUIS VIERA: NAY.
19:21:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
19:21:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO THE ROLL CALL AGAIN, PLEASE.
19:21:56 >>LUIS VIERA: ONE LAST TIME, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
19:21:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NAY.
19:21:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: AYE.
19:21:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO.
19:22:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES.
19:22:03 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
19:22:05 >>BILL CARLSON: NO.
19:22:06 >>LUIS VIERA: NO.
19:22:09 >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION FAILS WITH DINGFELDER, MANISCALCO,
19:22:14 CARLSON AND VIERA VOTING NO.
19:22:16 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
19:22:17 NOW WE NEED A MOTION FROM ONE OF THE NAYS DENYING.
19:22:21 ANYONE INTERESTED IN TAKING THAT?
19:22:26 GO FOR IT, SIR.
19:22:32 >>BILL CARLSON: MOVE TO DENY REZ 20-01, DUE TO THE FAILURE
19:22:37 OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE
19:22:40 COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD THAT THE
19:22:42 REZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY
19:22:44 CODE, SPECIFICALLY IN NOT KEEPING WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE
19:22:53 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:22:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL THIRD IT.
19:22:58 >>LUIS VIERA: GO AHEAD, SIR.
19:22:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL SECOND IT, AND I'LL ADD A COUPLE OF
19:23:02 COMP PLAN PROVISIONS RELEVANT, I BELIEVE, AS WELL AS SOME
19:23:06 TESTIMONY.
19:23:07 THE TESTIMONY THAT I BELIEVE WE ALL HEARD NOT ONLY SPOKE TO
19:23:11 COMPATIBILITY BUT ALSO SPOKE TO AN ON-STREET PARKING
19:23:14 SITUATION OR EXISTING PROBLEM.
19:23:17 SO IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL HOMES ON THE SAME STREET
19:23:24 INEVITABLY WITH VISITORS, GUESTS, ET CETERA, YOU'RE GOING TO
19:23:26 HAVE MORE PARKING PROBLEMS.
19:23:27 ALSO MAKE REFERENCE TO LAND USE POLICY 2.1.1, WHICH SPEAKS
19:23:32 TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ENCOURAGE COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
19:23:41 ADDITIONALLY, LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3 WHICH AGAIN SPEAKS TO
19:23:46 COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT TO SUSTAIN STABLE
19:23:50 NEIGHBORHOODS AND ENSURE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HEALTH OF THE
19:23:57 CITY.
19:23:57 LAND USE POLICY 9.5.1, I'LL LET THAT SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
19:24:07 I BELIEVE, AND I CAN'T FIND THE POLICY SPECIFICALLY THAT
19:24:12 SPEAKS TO INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT, AGAIN, NOT ONLY DID I HEAR
19:24:16 TESTIMONY, BUT THE PARKING PROBLEM IN THAT AREA IS WELL
19:24:24 ESTABLISHED.
19:24:25 THANK YOU.
19:24:25 >>LUIS VIERA: ARE YOU AMENABLE TO THOSE AMENDMENTS?
19:24:29 OKAY.
19:24:30 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON TO DENY, SECONDED BY
19:24:34 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
19:24:36 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:24:38 ANY OPPOSED?
19:24:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
19:24:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES TO DENY.
19:24:58 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NAY.
19:25:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES.
19:25:02 >>JOSEPH CITRO: NAY.
19:25:04 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NAY.
19:25:06 >>BILL CARLSON: YES.
19:25:08 >>LUIS VIERA: YES.
19:25:23 >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION CARRIED WITH GUDES, CITRO, AND
19:25:28 MIRANDA -- I'M SORRY.
19:25:29 WITH GUDES, CITRO, AND MIRANDA VOTING NO.
19:25:35 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
19:25:36 NOW WE GO BACK TO ITEM NUMBER 3.
19:25:41 MA'AM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP, THE PETITIONER.
19:25:46 >> MARIA GARCIA.
19:25:47 I HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH MR. GALLART.
19:25:54 >>LUIS VIERA: EXCUSE ME.
19:25:56 ALL THE FOLKS LEAVING, IF YOU'RE GOING OUT THERE IN THE
19:25:58 HALLWAY, MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT LOW TO A MINIMUM.
19:26:01 GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
19:26:02 >> I HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH MR. GALLART, I ASSURED HIM
19:26:05 THAT I WOULD HAVE HIM MEET WITH THE OWNER.
19:26:08 HOWEVER, MR. GALLART HAS THE ISSUE WITH THE COOLIDGE
19:26:15 PROPERTY AND NOT NORTH MANHATTAN AVENUE PROPERTY.
19:26:18 BUT I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH HIM
19:26:22 TOMORROW OR SATURDAY AT HIS EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.
19:26:25 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:26:26 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M WELL AWARE OF THAT AREA.
19:26:29 THE COOLIDGE AREA ACROSS THE STREET, FINE OPERATION,
19:26:36 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY COMPANY.
19:26:37 WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE, SEMIS, THE PARKING AREA FOR THE
19:26:41 SEMIS ARE FULL AND THEY PARK ON MLK AND LEAVE IT SOMETIMES
19:26:45 FOR A DAY OR TWO.
19:26:46 IN FACT, ON EITHER COOLIDGE OR HESPERIDES, SEMIS WHERE THEY
19:26:51 COME IN, LEAVE AND GO HOME.
19:26:53 THE PROBLEM IS THAT SOMETIMES THEY ARE FULL.
19:26:56 IN FACT, MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE FULL.
19:26:58 AND THEY PARK THEIR TRACTOR AND TRAILER WHEREVER THEY CAN.
19:27:03 AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
19:27:04 CODE ENFORCEMENT IS WELL AWARE OF IT.
19:27:06 THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT.
19:27:08 I UNDERSTAND THE GENTLEMAN'S CONCERN.
19:27:13 >> THAT'S NOT THIS PROPERTY.
19:27:18 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
19:27:19 MR. SHELBY, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?
19:27:23 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO, SIR.
19:27:23 >>LUIS VIERA: YOU HAD AN INQUISITIVE LOOK ON YOUR FACE.
19:27:27 THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
19:27:28 WE HAD FINISHED PUBLIC COMMENT.
19:27:32 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
19:27:34 WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
19:27:37 I BELIEVE SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:27:39 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:27:40 ANY OPPOSED?
19:27:42 I BELIEVE COUNCILMAN GUDES, YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT ONE.
19:27:44 >>ORLANDO GUDES: FILE REZ 19-102, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED
19:27:50 FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION.
19:27:51 AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF

19:28:13 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:28:14 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:28:15 ANY OPPOSED?
19:28:17 >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
19:28:19 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 5th AT
19:28:22 9:30 A.M.
19:28:23 CITRO BEING ABSENT AT VOTE.
19:28:31 >>LUIS VIERA: YOU'LL GET IT.
19:28:32 YOU'RE VERY NEW.
19:28:33 IT'S A LOT OF PRESSURE.
19:28:34 YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
19:28:36 INDEED.
19:28:38 YOU GOT BIG SHOES TO FILL THERE WITH MR. CREW.
19:28:42 TRUST ME.
19:28:43 HEAVY BURDEN.
19:28:43 NUMBER 5.
19:28:45 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
19:28:46 NUMBER 5 IS REZ 19-105.
19:28:50 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7627 COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY FROM PD
19:28:54 TO PD FOR HOTEL, RESTAURANT AND ALL CG USES WITH A BONUS
19:28:59 PROVISION TO 27-140 FOR THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO
19:29:02 INCREASE INTENSITY FROM 1.5 TO 1.64 F.A.R.
19:29:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:29:11 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
19:29:13 COMMISSION STAFF.
19:29:13 THIS IS LOCATED IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT, THE
19:29:16 WESTSHORE BUSINESS CENTER.
19:29:17 THERE'S NO TRANSIT SERVING THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:29:21 IT IS IN THE LEVEL A EVACUATION ZONE, ALSO WITHIN THE
19:29:24 COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA.
19:29:26 I HAVE A MAP HERE FOR YOU JUST TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW, THIS
19:29:30 IS HOW THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA INTERACTS WITH THE CITY.
19:29:34 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT KIND OF HUGS THE SOUTH TAMPA PENINSULA,
19:29:38 AND IT COMES TO THE NORTH.
19:29:44 THE HATCH MARKS ON THIS MAP INDICATE WHERE THE COASTAL HIGH
19:29:48 HAZARD AREA IS.
19:29:49 SO IT'S CLEARLY ON ROCKY POINT.
19:29:52 THE SUBJECT SITE IS CLEARLY WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
19:29:55 AREA.
19:29:55 AND THERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:29:58 SO IT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST COURTNEY CAMPBELL
19:30:00 CAUSEWAY.
19:30:01 IT IS A HOTEL.
19:30:02 THIS AREA OF ROCKY POINT HAS A VARIETY.
19:30:05 THERE'S SOME HOTEL AND MULTIFAMILY USES ON THE PENINSULA.
19:30:10 THE FUTURE LAND USE IS COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35, WHICH ALLOWS
19:30:15 FOR COMMERCIAL USES AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL.
19:30:19 THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH THAT IS R-35.
19:30:25 AND THEN THIS IS ACTUALLY WITHIN UNINCORPORATED HILLSBOROUGH
19:30:28 COUNTY.
19:30:28 IT'S NOT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
19:30:30 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:30:37 EXCUSE ME.
19:30:37 MY APOLOGIES.
19:30:39 I HAVE ANOTHER CORRECTED REPORT TO HAND OUT FOR THIS.
19:30:41 SORRY.
19:30:42 MY APOLOGIES.
19:30:55 I WAS FOCUSED ON GIVING THE INFORMATION AND NOT HANDING OUT
19:30:59 THE CORRECTED REPORT.
19:31:00 WE HAVE A REVISED REPORT.
19:31:02 IT WAS A MINOR AREA.
19:31:03 WE DIDN'T COMPLETE ONE OF OUR SENTENCES IN THE STAFF
19:31:05 ANALYSIS.
19:31:06 IT DIDN'T FIND OUR CHANGING OR ANYTHING.
19:31:07 BUT YOU HAVE THE CORRECTED REPORT IN FRONT OF YOU.
19:31:09 AS MARY WILL EXPLAIN WHAT THE APPLICANT IS DOING, THE
19:31:13 OVERALL FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING WILL REMAIN THE SAME AND
19:31:17 THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE BONUS PROVISIONS
19:31:20 WITHIN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, BUT WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF
19:31:23 THAT.
19:31:24 WE DID FIND THAT THIS WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE ANTICIPATED
19:31:26 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE
19:31:29 35 CATEGORY.
19:31:30 NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE OVERALL STRUCTURE WILL OCCUR, AND
19:31:34 THE DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING
19:31:37 DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON ROCKY POINT.
19:31:39 THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION.
19:31:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:31:42 ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
19:31:49 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:31:50 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:31:50 JENNIFER SHOWED YOU AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY,
19:31:56 EXISTING HOTEL ON ROCKY POINT.
19:31:57 IT WAS APPROVED AS A HOTEL AND A REZONING BACK IN 2007 WITH
19:32:04 Z 07-13 FOR A HOTEL AND CG USES.
19:32:10 HERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EXISTING HOTEL FROM COURTNEY
19:32:14 CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY.
19:32:15 THIS IS A PICTURE FROM ROCKY POINT.
19:32:18 THIS IS TO THE SOUTH.
19:32:19 A NEW APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT WAS APPROVED THROUGH PD A FEW
19:32:22 YEARS AGO AND AN OFFICE BUILDING.
19:32:24 AND THEN ANOTHER OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING GARAGE TO THE
19:32:27 WEST.
19:32:27 HERE IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
19:32:40 WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING WITH THIS PD, BACK IN 2007,
19:32:45 WHEN THIS PD WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED, THEY WERE APPROVED FOR
19:32:48 A MAXIMUM OF 300 HOTEL ROOMS.
19:32:51 HOWEVER, THEY HAD TO COMPLY WITH THE PARKING STANDARDS.
19:32:56 WHEN THE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED, THEY DEVELOPED 255 ROOMS AND
19:32:59 PUT IN ENOUGH PARKING FOR 255 ROOMS.
19:33:02 THE APPLICANT, AND THEY'LL TESTIFY TO THIS TONIGHT, ARE
19:33:08 PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ROOMS TO 44 ROOMS, SO 44
19:33:12 ADDITIONAL HOTEL ROOMS.
19:33:13 HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT WAS
19:33:16 CONSTRUCTED, THEY COULD NOT MEET THE PARKING STANDARDS OF
19:33:20 TODAY WITH THE INCREASED NUMBER OF ROOMS.
19:33:22 ALSO, THEY ARE INCREASING THE FLOOR TO AREA RATIO BEYOND THE
19:33:28 1.5 ORIGINALLY APPROVED.
19:33:29 THAT IS THE CATALYST FOR THIS PD THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT
19:33:33 TO ALLOW A LEGAL PROCESS TO APPROVE A PARKING WAIVER AS WELL
19:33:38 AS PER 27-140 TO ALLOW A BONUS PROVISION TO EXCEED THE
19:33:43 ALLOWABLE 1.5 F.A.R.
19:33:45 THERE ARE SOME VERY MINOR CHANGES FROM PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:33:54 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:33:55 TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT.
19:33:58 ON PAGE 1 OF YOUR STAFF REPORT, YOU WILL SEE THREE WAIVERS
19:34:03 ALL RELATED TO PARKING.
19:34:05 THE FIRST WAIVER IS TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF
19:34:08 PARKING SPACES FROM 372 REQUIRED TO 309 PROPOSED, WHICH IS A
19:34:14 17% PARKING REDUCTION.
19:34:16 THE OTHER PARKING RELATED WAIVER TO 27-283 IS TO AUTHORIZE
19:34:23 63 TANDEM PARKING SPACES, PARKING SPACES LOCATED IMMEDIATELY
19:34:29 BEHIND ANOTHER PARKING SPACE TO BE INCLUDED AS A PARKING
19:34:32 SPACE TO SATISFY THE CODE.
19:34:34 IT IS THE INTENT THOSE WOULD BE USED FOR VALET SERVICES.
19:34:37 HOWEVER, THAT IS REQUIRED A WAIVER FOR OUR CODE.
19:34:42 THE ONLY USE THAT IS ALLOWED, TANDEM PARKING BY RIGHT IS
19:34:46 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
19:34:46 THE THIRD WAIVER IS TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL ACCESS PARKING TO A
19:34:51 LOCAL STREET, EAST ROCKY POINT DRIVE TO RECOGNIZE THE
19:34:54 EXISTING DRIVEWAYS.
19:34:55 SAYING THAT, OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT COMPLIANCE STAFF DID
19:34:58 FIND THIS INCONSISTENT.
19:35:00 AGAIN, SEE THE FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION RELATED TO THE
19:35:03 PARKING-RELATED WAIVERS THAT I JUST STATED.
19:35:05 REMINDER, PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE PLAN
19:35:09 DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A REVISION SHEET.
19:35:12 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME AT THIS TIME?
19:35:17 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO WE HAVE TRANSPORTATION STAFF WITH US
19:35:19 TONIGHT?
19:35:19 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, SIR.
19:35:21 >> JONATHAN, TRANSPORTATION AND PLANNING.
19:35:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GOOD EVENING, JONATHAN.
19:35:29 TRANSPORTATION STAFF OBJECTS, I GUESS THE SORT OF STANDARD
19:35:36 OBJECTION BECAUSE THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE 17% WAIVER IN
19:35:39 PARKING SPACES.
19:35:40 THE 372 REQUIRED SPACES, I ASSUME THAT'S OUT OF OUR CODE
19:35:48 BASED UPON SOME CALCULATIONS OR WHAT HAVE YOU FOR A HOTEL
19:35:53 AND RESTAURANT USE, CORRECT?
19:35:54 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
19:35:54 IT'S BASED ON THE HOTEL USE CALCULATIONS.
19:35:57 WE OBJECT TO THE PARKING WAIVER IN GENERAL.
19:36:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT.
19:36:01 DO OUR STANDARDS, OUR HOTEL, RESTAURANT STANDARDS, DIFFER
19:36:10 FROM NATIONAL STANDARDS?
19:36:15 I GUESS PART OF MY QUESTION IS, HAVE THE NATIONAL STANDARDS
19:36:16 BEEN ADJUSTED IN RECENT YEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE UBER, LYFT,
19:36:21 ET CETERA, SYNDROME?
19:36:22 MY QUESTION IS, DO OUR STANDARDS, ARE THEY THE SAME AS THE
19:36:28 NATIONAL STANDARDS OR DO WE DIFFER?
19:36:31 IF SO, HOW DO WE DIFFER?
19:36:33 >> YEAH, WE DO DIFFER AND WE HAVEN'T UPDATED THEM IN A
19:36:36 WHILE.
19:36:36 I BELIEVE IF YOU LOOK AT THE ITE CALCULATIONS, IT WOULD COME
19:36:40 UP A LITTLE BIT LESS.
19:36:41 BUT WE HAVE NOT UPDATED OUR CODE.
19:36:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT
19:36:48 THAT CALCULATION WOULD BE IF WE DID THE ITE CALCULATION?
19:36:53 >> I DON'T HAVE THAT OFFHAND.
19:36:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAYBE THE PETITIONER DOES.
19:36:56 THANK YOU.
19:36:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:36:58 ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
19:36:59 ALL RIGHT.
19:37:07 PETITIONER.
19:37:08 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, MR. CHAIRMAN, MICHAEL HORNER,
19:37:11 14502 NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
19:37:13 33618 REPRESENTING TAMPA ROCKY POINT LLC.
19:37:20 THE NEW PROPERTY OWNER FOR THE WESTIN HOTEL.
19:37:22 WITH ME IS MR. SEAMUS ROSS, CEO PRESIDENT OF THE ASSET
19:37:26 MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT IS THE OWNERSHIP.
19:37:28 HE HAS TO CATCH A FLIGHT TO NASHVILLE AT 8:45.
19:37:31 WE'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE.
19:37:33 WITH ME IS ALSO MICHAEL YATES, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.
19:37:36 HE WILL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS PARKING RATIO ISSUES.
19:37:39 MR. CHAIRMAN, AND COUNCIL, THIS IS THE WESTIN HOTEL.
19:37:43 THIS IS A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN UNDER REVIEW FOR QUITE SOME
19:37:46 TIME.
19:37:47 IT WAS APPROVED IN 2007, AS MARY INDICATED.
19:37:50 WE ARE ESSENTIALLY REDUCING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS THAT
19:37:54 WERE APPROVED IN 2007 FROM 300, DROPPING IT BY ONE ROOM TO
19:37:59 299.
19:38:00 THE PARKING RATIO IS DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF PARKING
19:38:04 GARAGE, TWO FLOORS OF THE PARKING GARAGE ESSENTIALLY
19:38:08 UNDERUTILIZED AND EMPTY.
19:38:10 YOU CAN PLAY FRISBEE IN THE PARKING GARAGE FLOORS DURING
19:38:13 PEAK HOURS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT ENCOUNTER A CAR.
19:38:16 IT IS RATHER INEFFICIENT.
19:38:18 THE CLIENT IS CONVERTING TWO ENTIRE FLOORS.
19:38:22 THE PARKING GARAGE INTO THE ADDITIONAL 44 ROOMS.
19:38:26 BY CONVERTING NON-AC AND NON-HEATED SPACE TO AIR CONDITIONED
19:38:31 AND COOLED SPACE, THAT BECOMES FLOOR AREA RATIO.
19:38:36 THEREFORE WE HAVE TO ASK FOR THE FLOOR AREA RATIO BUMP TO
19:38:39 1.64, WHICH IS 18,000 SQUARE FEET FROM 1.5.
19:38:44 UNDER YOUR BONUS PROVISION 27-140, THAT IS COMMENSURATE TO A
19:38:49 CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY OF $264,000 BY REDUCING ONE HOTEL
19:38:55 ROOM BY CONVERTING THE PARKING GARAGE.
19:38:58 THE REASON THE PARKING GARAGE WAIVER -- EXCUSE ME, THE
19:39:01 PARKING WAIVER, IN OUR OPINION, IS A NOMINAL ISSUE IS
19:39:05 BECAUSE THIS IS A PRIVATE ENTITY.
19:39:09 PRIVATE GARAGE.
19:39:10 RESTRICTED FOR ACCESS.
19:39:11 IT WILL BE VALET CONTROLLED.
19:39:13 IT WILL BE CONTROLLED BY TANDEM PARKING SPACE INITIATIVES.
19:39:16 WE FILED THAT DOCUMENT THROUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA.
19:39:20 THAT TANDEM SPACE ESSENTIALLY EQUATES TO THE 66 PARKING
19:39:24 SPACES WHICH WE'RE ESSENTIALLY DEFICIENT ON FROM 372 TO 309.
19:39:29 SO NOTHING CHANGES PHYSICALLY.
19:39:31 WE'RE CONVERTING TWO GARAGE FLOORS TO ROOMS.
19:39:35 WE'RE DOING SOME NOMINAL PARKING SPACE CONFIGURATIONS ON THE
19:39:39 SURFACE, ADDING A POOL, HARD SCAPE, DOWN SIZING THE
19:39:42 RESTAURANT, DOWN SIZING THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN THE BAR
19:39:45 AND THEREFORE THE PARKING SPACE RATIO THAT WE PROPOSE, THE
19:39:49 309 SPACES IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE, BECAUSE WE CAN ACTUALLY
19:39:52 INCREASE TANDEM SPACES TO ALLOW FURTHER REDUCTION TO LESS
19:39:57 THAN 309 SPACES.
19:40:00 OUR INTENT IS SIMPLY TO MAKE THIS FUNCTION, TWEAK IT, MAKE
19:40:04 IT WORK AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.
19:40:05 THERE WILL NOT BE ANY IMPACTS TO COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY.
19:40:08 THERE IS A DEDICATED RIGHT-TURN LANE.
19:40:10 ROCKY POINT DRIVE IS A LOCAL ROAD.
19:40:13 IT IS A TECHNICAL OBJECTION.
19:40:14 WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION, NO OBJECTION.
19:40:17 WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
19:40:19 MR. YATES WILL BRIEFLY ADDRESS THE PARKING WAIVER.
19:40:22 >>JOSEPH CITRO: KIND OF AN OFF-BASED QUESTION.
19:40:26 DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT STAY AT
19:40:29 YOUR HOTEL THAT ARE DRIVING THEIR OWN VEHICLES?
19:40:32 I KNOW YOU JUST FINISHED SAYING YOU CAN PLAY FRISBEE IN THE
19:40:36 PARKING LOT.
19:40:37 MOST PEOPLE I WOULD THINK WOULD STAY AT THIS HOTEL WOULDN'T
19:40:40 HAVE THEIR OWN CAR, BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE AIRPORT.
19:40:44 >> THAT'S CORRECT.
19:40:44 >>JOSEPH CITRO: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS
19:40:47 OF THE PEOPLE THAT RENT A VEHICLE?
19:40:49 >> GOOD QUESTION.
19:40:51 SEVERAL PARKING STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE DURING PEAK PERIODS.
19:40:54 THE MAJORITY OF THE CHARACTERISTICS ARE UBER, LYFT.
19:41:00 HOTEL HAS A VALET SHUTTLE AS WELL.
19:41:03 ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY ON THE STATS?
19:41:11 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:41:12 MICHAEL YATES.
19:41:14 I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
19:41:16 WHAT WE DID IS WE WENT OUT AND DID IN LIEU OF USING NATIONAL
19:41:20 DATA, WE WENT OUT AND ACTUALLY DID PARKING OBSERVATION
19:41:25 COUNTS IN THE GARAGE.
19:41:27 WE DID A WEEKDAY WEDNESDAY AND THEN A PEAK TIME SATURDAY.
19:41:32 WE DID IT IN FEBRUARY.
19:41:33 THE HOTEL WAS 92% OCCUPIED.
19:41:38 BOTH DAYS, VERY CONSISTENT DATA, YOU WILL SEE ON THE SCREEN
19:41:43 VERY CONSISTENT.
19:41:44 THE SURFACE LOTS WERE PRETTY WIDELY USED.
19:41:48 WE HAD 89% USAGE ON THE SURFACE LOTS, BUT THE GARAGE AT THE
19:41:54 PEAK TIME WAS ONLY 12% UTILIZED.
19:41:58 AND SO WE ONLY HAD THE FOURTH, FIFTH, AND SIXTH FLOORS WERE
19:42:02 COMPLETELY VACANT.
19:42:04 AND IT WAS CONSISTENT DURING BOTH STUDY DAYS.
19:42:08 TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF ROOMS
19:42:12 AND THE COUNTS THAT WE OBSERVED, PROBABLY HAD ABOUT 30 TO
19:42:16 35 PERCENT THAT WERE USING AN ALTERNATIVE MODE OF
19:42:20 TRANSPORTATION TO GET THERE RATHER THAN THEIR OWN VEHICLE.
19:42:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
19:42:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
19:42:30 >> THAT WOULD CONCLUDE OUR PRESENTATION, COUNCILMAN MAN ALL
19:42:33 RIGHT.
19:42:34 WE'LL GO TO THE PUBLIC.
19:42:35 IF ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, ITEM
19:42:39 NUMBER 5, PLEASE APPROACH THE LECTERN, STATE YOUR NAME AND
19:42:42 ADDRESS.
19:42:42 >> MOVE TO CLOSE.
19:42:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM
19:42:45 COUNCILMAN CITRO WITH A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
19:42:47 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:42:48 ALL RIGHT.
19:42:49 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, I BELIEVE --
19:42:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'LL READ IT.
19:42:54 BEFORE I READ IT, THE GENTLEMAN WHO BUILT THIS HOTEL BUILT
19:42:57 THE FIRST HOTEL THAT WAS BUILT IN YBOR CITY AND MAYBE A
19:43:02 HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
19:43:03 HE BUILT THE FIRST ONE THAT BECAME A VERY SUCCESS.
19:43:05 IT STARTED THE REVITALIZATION OF YBOR CITY.
19:43:09 SAME ONE THAT BUILT THE WESTIN.
19:43:12 DID A FANTASTIC JOB WITH BOTH OF THEM.
19:43:15 NOT BECAUSE OF THE ZONING MATTER, BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE.
19:43:19 YOU HAVE THE FACTS AND FIGURES TO PROVE IT.
19:43:23 ITEM NUMBER 5, REZ 19-105, AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR
19:43:30 FIRST READING CONSIDERATION.
19:43:31 AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF
19:43:34 7627 WEST COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY IN THE CITY OF TAMPA,
19:43:38 FLORIDA, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM
19:43:40 ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT HOTEL
19:43:42 AND ALL CG USES, TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT HOTEL RESTAURANT AND
19:43:47 ALL CG USES, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
19:43:49 AND THIS MEETS AS APPROVED WITH ALL THE FACTS AND FIGURES
19:43:55 ACCORDING TO THE CITY CODES, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVEN THE
19:43:59 BURDEN OF PROOF AND ESPECIALLY THE BURDEN OF PROOF REGARDING
19:44:02 THE PARKING SITUATION IN THE ZONING MATTER.
19:44:07 AND WITH THE REVISION SHEET.
19:44:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
19:44:09 MIRANDA, A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO, AND A QUESTION FROM
19:44:12 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
19:44:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST A COMMENT.
19:44:15 I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THE MOTION.
19:44:16 TYPICALLY, ESPECIALLY RECENTLY, THIS PAST YEAR, I'VE HAD
19:44:20 GREAT CONCERN ABOUT AN INCREASE IN DENSITY IN THE COASTAL
19:44:23 HIGH HAZARD AREA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE
19:44:27 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SAYS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CONCERNED
19:44:30 ABOUT.
19:44:30 HOWEVER, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE TESTIMONY FROM STAFF
19:44:34 AS WELL AS THE PETITIONER INDICATES THAT THE APPROVED ZONING
19:44:37 BACK IN 2007, WHICH I DO REMEMBER, WAS FOR 300 UNITS.
19:44:43 THEY DIDN'T BUILD THE 300 UNITS.
19:44:45 NOW THEY ARE GOING TO 299.
19:44:47 I REALLY DON'T SEE IT AS AN INCREASE NECESSARILY IN DENSITY.
19:44:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
19:44:53 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
19:44:55 ALL IN FAVOR?
19:44:55 ANY OPPOSED?
19:44:57 WE ALSO HAVE THE -- DO WE DO THE RESOLUTION SEPARATELY?
19:45:02 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WILL COME BACK AT YOUR NEXT HEARING.
19:45:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
19:45:07 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH VIERA BEING ABSENT AT VOTE.
19:45:10 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 5th AT
19:45:13 9:30 A.M.
19:45:16 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:45:17 ITEM NUMBER 6.
19:45:18 >>RYAN MANASSE: RYAN MANASSE.
19:45:21 PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:45:21 ITEM 6 IS FOR APPLICATION REZ-19-106 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 612
19:45:26 NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
19:45:27 THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM PLANNED
19:45:30 DEVELOPMENT PD FOR RESTAURANT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PD TO
19:45:33 ALLOW FOR ALL COMMERCIAL GENERAL CG USES.
19:45:40 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
19:45:42 COMMISSION STAFF.
19:45:42 WE'RE ALSO BACK IN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AND
19:45:48 WESTSHORE EMPLOYMENT CENTER.
19:45:52 THIS IS SERVED BY HART ROUTE NUMBER 36.
19:45:55 IT IS WITHIN A LEVEL D EVACUATION ZONE.
19:46:00 I HAVE AN AERIAL.
19:46:03 THIS IS NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
19:46:04 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE.
19:46:07 THERE IS A SUSHI RESTAURANT TO THE SOUTH AND A PARTY CITY TO
19:46:10 THE NORTH.
19:46:11 IT IS AN INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, NORTH DALE MABRY
19:46:15 HIGHWAY, BUT IT DOES TRANSITION TO THESE RESIDENTIAL USES AS
19:46:18 WE MOVE AWAY FROM THE CORRIDOR, WHICH IS APPARENT AS WELL ON
19:46:22 THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
19:46:23 THE SUBJECT SITE HAS THREE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS,
19:46:27 REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
19:46:29 THAT IS THE DARK PURPLE COLOR.
19:46:31 THAT IS A VERY INTENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY.
19:46:33 IT'S ONE OF THE MOST INTENSIVE IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:46:36 AND THEN THE BACK PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS SPLIT BY
19:46:40 RESIDENTIAL 10, WHICH IS THE ORANGE AND RESIDENTIAL 20,
19:46:43 WHICH IS THIS BROWN COLOR, AND WE SEE THAT TRANSITION THAT
19:46:46 THESE ARE EVENTUALLY USED MOVE AWAY FROM NORTH DALE MABRY
19:46:49 HIGHWAY.
19:46:50 THE PD IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS THAT THERE ARE NO COMMERCIAL
19:46:55 USES WITHIN THESE RESIDENTIAL CATEGORIES ON THE SITE, WHICH
19:46:59 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:47:01 WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE COMMERCIAL USES AS CLOSE TO NORTH DALE
19:47:04 MABRY HIGHWAY AS POSSIBLE AND THAT VERY INTENSIVE FUTURE
19:47:07 LAND USE DESIGNATION, WHICH IS WHAT IT'S THERE FOR.
19:47:09 SO WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:47:14 THE REQUEST DOES SUPPORT MANY OF THE POLICIES WITHIN THE
19:47:16 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO THE CITY PLANNING
19:47:19 STRATEGY, URBAN DESIGN AND REDEVELOPMENT WITHIN MIXED USE
19:47:22 CORRIDORS AND CENTERS.
19:47:23 AND WE DID FIND THAT IT WAS CONSISTENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT
19:47:27 PATTERN FOUND ON THIS PORTION OF NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
19:47:30 WE WOULD JUST STATE THAT SINCE THIS IS AT THE EASTERN EDGE
19:47:33 OF THE NORTH BON AIR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THE APPLICANT ENSURE
19:47:36 THAT THE SUBJECT SITE IS APPROPRIATELY BUFFERED AND TO
19:47:39 MITIGATE FOR ANY NEGATIVE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON THE
19:47:42 RESIDENCES.
19:47:43 BUT WE DID FIND IT CONSISTENT AND COMPARABLE, COMPARABLE
19:47:47 WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
19:47:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE PD -- THE PRIOR PD, Z 11-31, WAS IT
19:47:58 THE SAME FOOTPRINT?
19:47:59 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I WILL LET RYAN MANASSE ANSWER THAT.
19:48:02 >>RYAN MANASSE: RYAN MANASSE, PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:48:04 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:48:04 TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FIRST, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, IT IS
19:48:08 IN THE SAME FOOTPRINT.
19:48:09 I'LL GO INTO THE STAFF REPORT AS FAR AS SETBACKS.
19:48:11 EXISTING STRUCTURE.
19:48:12 SETBACKS ARE STAYING THE SAME.
19:48:13 I'LL GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THAT TO YOU AND IF YOU HAVE
19:48:15 FURTHER QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
19:48:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THIS THE GRILL SMITH PROPERTY?
19:48:26 >>RYAN MANASSE: THAT IS CORRECT.
19:48:28 PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:48:31 AGAIN, THE APPLICATION BEFORE IS YOU PROPOSING TO REZONE THE
19:48:34 PROPERTY AT 612 NORTH DALE MABRY FROM PD FOR A RESTAURANT TO
19:48:38 PD TO ALLOW ALL CG USES.
19:48:40 THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS REZONED IN 2011 TO ALLOW FOR THE
19:48:43 RESTAURANT USE.
19:48:43 THAT WAS THE ONLY USE IN THAT PD THAT WAS APPROVED.
19:48:47 THE APPLICANT REQUEST TO USE THE CHANGE -- I'M SORRY.
19:48:51 APPLICANT REQUESTED THE USE BE CHANGED TO ALLOW FOR ALL CG
19:48:54 USES.
19:48:55 THEY ARE PRESENTING ONE WAIVER TO YOU TONIGHT, AND THAT'S TO
19:48:57 ALLOW COMMERCIAL ACCESS TO THE LOCAL STREET, WHICH IS WEST
19:49:00 CASS STREET.
19:49:01 THE SITE PLAN NOTES THAT THE REQUIRED PARKING FOR ANY SINGLE
19:49:05 OR COMBINATION OF USES WILL NOT EXCEED THE PROVIDED PARKING
19:49:09 ON-SITE.
19:49:09 THE SUBJECT SITE CONTAINS 47,975 SQUARE FEET AND HAS 6,070
19:49:16 SQUARE FOOT ONE-STORY BUILDING.
19:49:18 THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH
19:49:20 DALE MABRY HIGHWAY AND WEST CASS STREET AND THE SETBACKS
19:49:23 THAT I'LL READ OUT ARE THE SAME AS THE SETBACKS PREVIOUSLY
19:49:26 APPROVED.
19:49:26 BUT THE NORTH IS 4.5 FEET.
19:49:28 THE SOUTH IS 1.5 FEET.
19:49:30 THE EAST IS 25.6 FEET AND THE WEST IS 228.8 FEET.
19:49:36 MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS PROPOSED AT 22 FEET.
19:49:38 BASED ON THE MOST INTENSE CG USE OF RESTAURANT WITH 276
19:49:43 PATRONS, TOTAL OF 69 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED, AND THEY
19:49:46 ARE PROVIDING THOSE 69 PARKING SPACES.
19:49:49 AND THAT IS THE SAME PARKING CALCULATIONS THAT WERE ON THE
19:49:51 PREVIOUS PD.
19:49:52 ALSO, SUBJECT SITE HAS TWO ACCESS POINTS, BOTH ON WEST CASS
19:49:56 STREET.
19:49:57 THERE'S NO VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY FROM THE SOUTH
19:50:00 ON WEST CARMEN STREET, NORTHEAST FROM NORTH DALE MABRY
19:50:02 HIGHWAY.
19:50:03 OVERALL AERIAL MAP OF THE AREA.
19:50:11 SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED IN RED.
19:50:13 NORTH DALE MABRY HERE.
19:50:14 CARMEN TO THE SOUTH.
19:50:15 CASS TO THE NORTH, AND YOU'LL SEE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE
19:50:19 PARKING LOT AS STATED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE
19:50:22 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY USES START GETTING TRIGGERED ALONG
19:50:25 THE WEST BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY GOING AROUND TO CARMEN
19:50:28 STREET.
19:50:29 THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY A RESTAURANT USE TO THE NORTH,
19:50:33 ACROSS WEST CASS STREET.
19:50:35 RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES TO THE SOUTH ACROSS WEST
19:50:37 CARMEN STREET AND COMMERCIAL USES TO THE EAST ACROSS NORTH
19:50:40 DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
19:50:41 AND THE RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE WEST THAT I JUST DESCRIBED.
19:50:44 THERE ARE NO HISTORIC LANDMARK STRUCTURES WITHIN A THOUSAND
19:50:47 FEET OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
19:50:49 I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE AREA.
19:50:51 THE SUBJECT SITE ON THE CORNER, THIS IS DALE MABRY AND CASS.
19:50:55 A LITTLE BIT CLOSER, STILL THE SUBJECT SITE.
19:50:58 THIS IS FACING SOUTHWEST.
19:51:03 THE REAR OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND AGAIN THE EXISTING
19:51:06 BUILDING.
19:51:06 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE, THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.
19:51:11 FEW PICTURES TO TRY TO GET SOME ANGLES.
19:51:15 THIS IS WEST ACROSS DALE MABRY.
19:51:17 NORTH DALE MABRY, SOUTH ON DALE MABRY.
19:51:21 THIS IS THE NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT
19:51:24 USE.
19:51:25 THE NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH, AND THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT
19:51:28 NEIGHBORS BECAUSE OF THE ORIENTATION OF THE LOT.
19:51:30 THIS IS THE DIRECT NEIGHBOR THAT ABUTS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
19:51:33 RIGHT HERE TO THE SOUTH.
19:51:34 THIS IS THE OTHER NEIGHBOR TO THE SOUTH.
19:51:36 SO THIS WOULD BE THE PARKING LOT WOULD BE FACING THE
19:51:39 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
19:51:41 AND THIS IS THE OTHER SOUTH NEIGHBOR THAT ABUTS NORTH DALE
19:51:44 MABRY ACROSS CARMEN.
19:51:47 THIS WOULD BE THE CLOSEST WEST NEIGHBOR.
19:51:49 SO THE SUBJECT SITE IS OVER HERE.
19:51:51 THIS IS RESIDENTIAL.
19:51:54 AND THIS IS THE CLOSEST NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST, 3813 CARMEN
19:51:58 STREET ON THE OPPOSITE STREET.
19:52:00 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE
19:52:05 PETITION AND FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE
19:52:06 APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
19:52:09 SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
19:52:12 WAIVER THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THERE ARE
19:52:15 SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS THAT WILL BE REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST
19:52:18 AND SECOND READING THAT ARE DESCRIBED ON THE REVISION SHEET
19:52:21 IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
19:52:23 STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
19:52:24 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
19:52:26 ANY QUESTIONS?
19:52:27 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
19:52:28 >>RYAN MANASSE: YES, SIR.
19:52:29 >>LUIS VIERA: APPLICANT?
19:52:35 >> GOOD EVENING.
19:52:36 MY NAME IS TARA TEDRO.
19:52:40 ORLANDO, FLORIDA, HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.
19:52:42 WE AGREE WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL AND THE
19:52:44 FACT THAT WE HAVE MET THE APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES IN YOUR
19:52:48 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL AS IN YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
19:52:50 OUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY ALL OF YOUR DEPARTMENTS
19:52:52 AND BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
19:52:55 FROM EACH OF THE DEPARTMENTS.
19:52:57 WHAT THIS COMES DOWN TO IS MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY.
19:52:59 CURRENTLY VACANT.
19:53:00 WAS FORMERLY A RESTAURANT AND ONLY ALLOWABLE USE ON THE
19:53:03 PROPERTY BECAUSE OF THE PRIOR PD THAT WAS APPROVED IS A
19:53:06 RESTAURANT.
19:53:06 AS STAFF NOTED, THAT IS THE MOST INTENSE USE FROM A PARKING
19:53:10 PERSPECTIVE THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED.
19:53:11 THOUGH THERE IS SOME EXISTING RESIDENTIAL ON THE REAR OF OUR
19:53:15 PROPERTY, OUR BUILDING, WHICH WE ARE NOT PROPOSING TO MODIFY
19:53:18 THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, IS OVER 200 FEET SETBACK FROM THAT
19:53:22 RESIDENTIAL AND THERE IS A SIX-FOOT MASONRY WALL.
19:53:25 YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S SOME EXISTING WAIVERS ON THAT
19:53:27 PROPERTY, AND THE ONE WAIVER TONIGHT, WHICH OUR ENGINEER CAN
19:53:30 DISCUSS FURTHER, WAS TRIGGERED BECAUSE THE ONLY ACCESS
19:53:33 EXISTING ON THAT PROPERTY WAS ONTO CASS STREET, NOT ONTO
19:53:37 DALE MABRY.
19:53:38 SO THE ONLY WAY WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE TWO POINTS OF
19:53:42 ACCESS WAS TO GET A WAIVER.
19:53:44 CODE SAYS F.D.O.T. WILL NOT ALLOW FOR THE ALTERNATIVE
19:53:47 ACCESS, THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO GRANT THE ACCESS IN THAT
19:53:50 WAIVER.
19:53:51 WE RECEIVED THAT DENIAL LETTER FROM F.D.O.T., THAT THEY
19:53:53 WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR ALTERNATIVE ACCESS.
19:53:56 SO THAT'S THE ACCESS POINTS THAT EXIST NOW.
19:53:59 BECAUSE OF THE CODE CHANGES, THAT POSTDATED THE ORIGINAL
19:54:02 PLAN WHEN IT WAS APPROVED.
19:54:04 WE HAD TO COME BACK AND TECHNICALLY ASK FOR THAT WAIVER AS
19:54:07 WELL.
19:54:08 I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
19:54:10 MATT FEMAL, OUR ENGINEER OF RECORD, IS ALSO HERE TONIGHT IF
19:54:14 YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
19:54:16 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?

19:56:34 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
19:56:35 ON TO NUMBER 7.
19:56:39 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:56:41 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:56:41 REZ 19-110.
19:56:45 REZONING REQUEST FROM RS-50 TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
19:56:48 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY
19:56:50 RESIDENTIAL.
19:56:55 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
19:56:57 COMMISSION STAFF.
19:56:58 WE ARE GOING TO THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, MORE
19:57:00 SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE.
19:57:03 THERE IS TRANSIT SERVICE WITHIN PROXIMITY OF THE SUBJECT
19:57:06 SITE ALONG NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE, WHICH IS TO THE EAST OF
19:57:09 THE SITE.
19:57:11 YOU'LL SEE ON THE AERIAL, SERVED BY HART ROUTE NUMBER TWO.
19:57:14 THIS IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
19:57:17 ABOUT A HALF MILE TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS
19:57:21 ROBLES PARK, WHICH IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATIONAL
19:57:24 FACILITY SERVING THE SITE.
19:57:26 HERE'S AN AERIAL.
19:57:30 AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE, EAST
19:57:33 ST. CLAIR, INTERSTATE 275.
19:57:37 THERE'S SOME COMMERCIAL USES ALONG NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE,
19:57:40 BUT THEN IT DOES TRANSITION TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES INTO THE
19:57:42 NEIGHBORHOOD.
19:57:43 THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL 20.
19:57:47 IT APPEARS THAT THERE'S A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES WITHIN THIS
19:57:51 AREA, WHICH IS SUPPORTED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE
19:57:54 LAND USE CATEGORY AND ALLOWS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
19:57:57 THE PINK IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35, THOSE COMMERCIAL
19:58:02 USES ALONG NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE.
19:58:04 THE GRAY IS JUST REPRESENTING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON THE
19:58:08 INTERSTATE FOR INTERSTATE 275.
19:58:10 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
19:58:14 THERE IS A POTENTIAL IN THIS AREA FOR HIGHER DENSITY
19:58:16 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
19:58:18 MULTIFAMILY IS ENCOURAGED IN THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND
19:58:21 USE DESIGNATIONS TO PROVIDE A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES TO
19:58:24 MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATION.
19:58:28 FURTHER, THIS IS LOCATED IN THE EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE,
19:58:32 WHICH DOES PROMOTE A MIX OF PLACEMENT OF A VARIETY OF USES,
19:58:36 INCLUDING SINGLE AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
19:58:38 AS WELL AS A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES.
19:58:41 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT.
19:58:42 WE FOUND THAT IT WOULD ALLOW FOR A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT
19:58:45 IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
19:58:47 AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
19:58:49 THANK YOU.
19:58:54 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
19:58:55 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
19:58:56 HERE IS THE ZONING MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
19:59:05 THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN GREEN.
19:59:09 IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE EDGE OF THE YBOR CITY SPECIAL ZONING
19:59:14 DISTRICT AREA.
19:59:15 AGAIN, AS I STATED, ZONED RS-50.
19:59:20 THEY ARE REQUESTING TO DO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
19:59:24 THE SITE PLAN YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, THE PROPOSAL IS TO TAKE
19:59:30 THE EXISTING HOUSE AND DETACHED STRUCTURE THAT'S CURRENTLY
19:59:34 IN THE BACK AND THERE WOULD BE TWO DWELLING UNITS IN THE
19:59:38 MAIN HOUSE AND THEN ONE DWELLING UNIT FOR A TOTAL OF THREE
19:59:41 FOR THE ENTIRE SITE ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
19:59:43 BECAUSE THEY ARE COMING IN TODAY WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
19:59:48 THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF TODAY'S ZONING
19:59:50 STANDARDS.
19:59:51 SO STORMWATER, PARKING, GREENSPACE, ET CETERA.
19:59:54 SO YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED AND PROVIDING SEVEN
19:59:59 PARKING SPACES.
20:00:01 THEY HAVE STORMWATER LOCATED ON THEIR PROPERTY.
20:00:03 THEY HAVE ONE-WAY DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE OFF OF ST. CLAIR STREET.
20:00:09 TRAVERSE THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND EXIT ON EAST ROBLES
20:00:12 STREET.
20:00:13 THE PROPOSED SETBACKS PRIMARILY BECAUSE THEY ARE RETAINING
20:00:17 THE EXISTING STRUCTURES ARE NORTH 7, SOUTH 5, EAST 7, AND
20:00:23 WEST 19 WITH A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT AS 35 FEET, WHICH IS
20:00:28 COMFORTABLE TO ALL OF THE RS ZONING DISTRICTS.
20:00:30 THEY ARE REQUESTING TWO MAIN WAIVERS.
20:00:34 THE FIRST, AND THEY ARE BOTH RELATED TO BUFFERING.
20:00:38 THE FIRST WAIVERS ARE TO THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE FROM EIGHT
20:00:42 FEET TO FIVE FEET, BECAUSE OF HAVING TO PUT IN THE 45-DEGREE
20:00:49 PARKING SPACES, THE CODE REQUIRES EIGHT FEET.
20:00:52 THEY ARE AT THIS POINT ONLY FIVE.
20:00:54 YOU CAN SEE THEY MEET IT FURTHER DOWN, FURTHER TO THE EAST.
20:00:57 THE OTHER WAIVER THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING IS FOR THE EAST
20:01:01 PROPERTY LINE.
20:01:02 THE CODE STATES SUPPOSED TO BE A THREE-FOOT BUFFER HERE.
20:01:07 THEY ARE REQUESTING TO GO DOWN TO ZERO BECAUSE THE POINTS OF
20:01:09 THE ANGLED PARKING SPACES GO TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
20:01:13 BUT, AGAIN, THERE ARE LANDSCAPED AREAS AND GREENSPACE AREAS
20:01:20 PROVIDED SOMEWHAT.
20:01:22 IT DOESN'T MEET THE TECHNICAL STANDARD OF EXACTLY THREE
20:01:24 FEET.
20:01:24 THE FINAL WAIVER IS FOR TWO DWELLING UNITS AGAINST A
20:01:30 SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
20:01:32 SUPPOSED TO BE A FIVE-FOOT BUFFER.
20:01:34 THEY ARE REQUESTING TO GO DOWN FROM FIVE FOOT TO ZERO FOOT
20:01:39 SUBJECT TO PAYMENT IN LIEU AT TIME OF PERMITTING.
20:01:43 THERE ARE CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THAT ARE
20:01:46 FOUND IN YOUR STAFF REPORT AND REVISION SHEET.
20:01:50 PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IN YOUR MOTION FROM PLANNING DESIGN AND
20:01:52 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION SOME MINOR CHANGES.
20:01:55 TRANSPORTATION, AGAIN, SOME MINOR CHANGES, AND NOTES THAT
20:01:58 NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN.
20:02:00 NATURAL RESOURCES DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT, EVEN WITH THE
20:02:04 CONSIDERATION OF THE WAIVER REQUEST.
20:02:06 THERE ARE SOME NOTES THAT NEED TO BE ADDED.
20:02:08 URBAN DESIGN DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT AS WELL AND JUST HAD
20:02:13 ONE COMMENT FOR TIME OF PERMITTING, SAYING THAT, I'LL LET
20:02:18 THE APPLICANT MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION, BUT THE DEVELOPMENT
20:02:20 REVIEW AND CLIENT STAFF DID FIND THIS APPLICATION CONSISTENT
20:02:23 WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
20:02:26 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:02:27 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
20:02:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THE PROPERTY -- I'M NOT SURE THE
20:02:31 DIRECTION.
20:02:32 I GUESS IT'S TO THE EAST.
20:02:34 IS IT DEVELOPED?
20:02:36 ALREADY A HOUSE THERE?
20:02:37 DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO OR ANYTHING?
20:02:40 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: HERE'S THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
20:02:43 THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
20:02:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S SET BACK A LITTLE BIT.
20:02:51 SO THERE'S PVC FENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.
20:02:56 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I BELIEVE THAT'S THE NEIGHBOR'S FENCE,
20:02:58 YES.
20:03:00 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THAT FENCE WOULD EFFECTIVELY ACT AS A
20:03:03 BUFFER BETWEEN THAT AND THOSE PARKED CARS THAT ARE GOING TO
20:03:06 COME ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT FENCE?
20:03:09 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, IF THE NEIGHBOR RETAINED THAT FENCE,
20:03:12 YES.
20:03:16 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE HAVEN'T REQUIRED A FENCE ALONG THAT
20:03:19 LINE.
20:03:19 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE CODE DOES NOT REQUIRE A FENCE.
20:03:21 THE CODE REQUIRES A FIVE-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
20:03:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
20:03:32 I'LL HEAR FROM THE PETITIONER.
20:03:33 THANK YOU.
20:03:33 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
20:03:34 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:03:37 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
20:03:37 >>LUIS VIERA: PETITIONER?
20:03:45 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
20:03:47 JOSEPH DIAZ.
20:03:48 3243 HENDERSON BOULEVARD, SUITE 310.
20:03:52 IF YOU'LL RECALL, THIS MAP THAT MARY JUST SHOWED YOU, I CAN
20:04:00 SEE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS ZONED RS-50, BUT I'M GOING TO SHOW
20:04:06 YOU THAT ON THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE, THERE IS A DUPLEX THAT IS
20:04:10 ERECTED.
20:04:11 ON THIS PIECE RIGHT HERE, THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS A COMMERCIAL
20:04:16 STRUCTURE.
20:04:17 ON THIS PIECE, WHICH IS THE ADJOINING PIECE, THE ONE ON THE
20:04:21 OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS THE
20:04:23 PIECE THAT FACES ST. CLAIR IS SINGLE-FAMILY, AND THE PIECE
20:04:28 THAT FACES ROBLES IS A TWO-STORY DUPLEX.
20:04:33 THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA OWNS
20:04:38 TO THE WEST OF OUR PROPERTY.
20:04:39 THIS IS THE DUPLEX THAT IS CATTY-CORNER TO OUR PROPERTY.
20:04:51 THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE NEIGHBORING HOUSE AS IT FACES
20:04:54 ST. CLAIR, AND THIS IS THE BACKSIDE OF THAT SAME WHICH IS
20:04:59 TWO APARTMENTS -- ONE UP AND ONE DOWN.
20:05:02 ON THE PIECE IMMEDIATELY EAST TO OUR ADJOINING PARCEL, THERE
20:05:14 IS THIS STRUCTURE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT
20:05:16 CLEARLY, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS WOULD SAY A AND THIS
20:05:20 WOULD SAY B, AND THAT IS TWO UNITS IN THAT, EVEN THOUGH THIS
20:05:25 IS AN RS-50.
20:05:28 AT THE CORNER OF ROBLES AND TALIAFERRO, YOU'VE GOT A DUPLEX,
20:05:38 TWO STORY.
20:05:39 THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE, ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTY
20:05:46 APPRAISER'S OFFICE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE, THE TWO-STORY HOUSE
20:05:49 WAS BUILT IN 1925.
20:05:52 IN 1965, THE THEN OWNER WENT TO THE CITY OF TAMPA TO ERECT
20:05:57 AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
20:06:00 AT THAT TIME, THE CITY RECOGNIZED THAT THE TWO-STORY
20:06:04 RESIDENCE WAS BEING USED AS A DUPLEX AND ALLOWED THE
20:06:10 ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE USED AS A REPS BUT PUT A PROVISO THAT
20:06:15 IT HAD TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE OWNER, THAT YOU COULDN'T RENT
20:06:18 IT.
20:06:18 SO THE NET EFFECT IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE'RE TRYING
20:06:21 TO MAKE IT SO WE CAN MAKE THAT FREE-STANDING DETACHED
20:06:25 ACCESSORY STRUCTURE RENTABLE.
20:06:27 STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS.
20:06:30 ALL THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE REVIEWED IT.
20:06:34 ALL OF THEM HAVE FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
20:06:36 THE COUNTY HAS REVIEWED IT.
20:06:37 THEY FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
20:06:39 THEY HAVE ASKED FOR SOME MODIFICATIONS BETWEEN THE FIRST AND
20:06:42 THE SECOND READING.
20:06:44 WE'RE OKAY WITH ALL OF THEM EXCEPT, LET ME CLEAR UP, BECAUSE
20:06:48 I HAD POINTED OUT TO MARY, PLANNING HAVE ASKED FOR A CHANGE,
20:06:55 THE ONE ABOUT THE SIDEWALK.
20:06:56 PLANNING HAD ASKED THAT WE MOVE THE PROPOSED SIDEWALK ALONG
20:07:03 THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
20:07:05 TRAFFIC HAD COME IN AND SAID WE DON'T WANT YOU TO PUT THAT
20:07:08 SIDEWALK, REMOVE IT.
20:07:10 I WANTED OUT TO MARY, THERE'S NO WAY CAN I COMPLY WITH BOTH
20:07:14 OF YOU.
20:07:14 I EITHER MOVE IT OR REMOVE IT.
20:07:17 SHE AGREED WE WOULD ASK FOR A WAIVER, THERE'S GOING TO BE NO
20:07:20 SIDEWALK ALONG THE BACK OF ROBLES.
20:07:22 BUT OTHER THAN THAT, ALL THE MODIFICATIONS THAT THEY WANT
20:07:27 WE'RE WILLING TO DO AND HAVE NO OBJECTIONS WITH.
20:07:30 IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE MORE THAN
20:07:33 GLAD TO ANSWER.
20:07:34 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
20:07:35 YES, SIR.
20:07:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. DIAZ, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
20:07:39 ARE THEY INDICATING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY INTO THE
20:07:43 SIDEWALK FUND?
20:07:44 >> THAT IS CORRECT.
20:07:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I JUST WANTED THAT ON THE RECORD.
20:07:49 >> THAT'S PART OF JONATHAN'S RECOMMENDATION.
20:07:52 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:07:53 ANYONE ELSE?
20:07:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HOW MANY UNITS ARE PRESENTLY THERE?
20:07:57 >> THREE.
20:07:58 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU'RE CHANGING IT TO THREE?
20:08:02 >> UP, DOWN AND FREE-STANDING.
20:08:06 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE.
20:08:07 THANK YOU, SIR.
20:08:09 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, NO, I'M JUST TURNING IT ON.
20:08:11 >>LUIS VIERA: GETTING READY.
20:08:12 IF ANYONE IS HERE TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 7,
20:08:15 PLEASE COME FORWARD.
20:08:20 >> HI.
20:08:21 KELLY GRIMSDALE.
20:08:24 NORTH 9th STREET.
20:08:25 ALSO PRESIDENT OF VM YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
20:08:28 HERE ON BEHALF OF THE VM YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AS
20:08:33 WELL AS MY OWN BEHALF, WE'RE ASKING TO YOU DENY THE REQUEST
20:08:36 TO REZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 801 EAST SAINT CLAIR AS A
20:08:40 MULTIFAMILY.
20:08:40 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE LISTING, THE PROPERTY WAS VACANT
20:08:49 FROM AT LEAST 3/17/2017 THROUGH 5/1/2018 WHEN THE SALE WAS
20:08:57 FINALIZED.
20:08:57 PER PAST CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS, IT APPEARS THAT THE
20:08:59 PROPERTY WAS VACANT MUCH LONGER THAN JUST THIS ONE YEAR.
20:09:02 PER THE CURRENT CODE, ANY PROPERTY THAT IS VACANT FOR MORE
20:09:04 THAN 180 DAYS LOSES ITS GRANDFATHERED-IN STATUS.
20:09:08 I BELIEVE THE PURPOSE OF THIS CODE WAS TO PROTECT
20:09:10 NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS OURS WHERE UNSCRUPULOUS OWNERS MAY
20:09:13 HAVE SPLIT UP PROPERTIES IN THE PAST WITHOUT GETTING THE
20:09:15 PROPER ZONING VARIANCE.
20:09:16 IF GRANTED, THIS ZONING VARIANCE WOULD ESTABLISH AN
20:09:19 UNDESIRABLE PRECEDENCE, AS OTHER OWNERS WILL SEE THIS AS A
20:09:23 GREEN LIGHT TO MAKE THEIR ILLEGALLY SPLIT PROPERTIES LEGAL.
20:09:26 THIS PARTICULAR OWNER HAS A HISTORY OF PURCHASING
20:09:29 PROPERTIES, MOSTLY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND THEN
20:09:31 OPERATING THEM AS ILLEGAL ROOMING HOUSES OF SORTS, WITH MOST
20:09:35 HAVING DONE WORK -- OR MOST HAVING WORK DONE WITHOUT
20:09:38 PERMITS.
20:09:39 ALL OF THESE PROPERTIES RESULT IN CODE ENFORCEMENT
20:09:41 VIOLATIONS, DRAINING OUR LOCAL RESOURCES AND ADDING NO
20:09:44 POSITIVE VALUE TO THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
20:09:46 SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTIES I AM REFERRING TO ARE 3,000 NORTH
20:09:50 FLORIDA AVENUE, 3023 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, 106 EAST
20:09:53 FLORIBRASKA WHICH WAS TORN DOWN, 3008 NORTH NEBRASKA AND 410
20:09:57 EAST OAK AVENUE.
20:09:59 PER CODE ENFORCEMENT INSPECTOR I TALKED WITH YESTERDAY, MAIN
20:10:02 HOUSE ON ST. CLAIR PROPERTY WHICH WAS SPLIT INTO TWO UNITS
20:10:05 YEARS AGO IS ALREADY SET UP AS TWO SLEEPING ROOMS PER FLOOR
20:10:09 WITH TWO SETS OF BUNK BEDS IN EACH ROOM.
20:10:13 IF FILLED THIS WOULD RESULT IN 16 INDIVIDUALS IN A
20:10:16 2700-SQUARE-FOOT HOME CLEARLY IN VIOLATION OF THE FLORIDA
20:10:20 FIRE CODE IN WHICH THE FIRE CODE IS BASED.
20:10:23 IF YOU GRANT THE OWNER'S REQUEST, WHO IS TO SAY HE WILL NOT
20:10:26 PROCEED WITH RENTING OUT THE BEDS LIKE THE ROOMING OUT AT
20:10:29 2818 AND 2820 NORTH NEBRASKA, WITHIN 254 FEET FROM THIS
20:10:36 PROPERTY.
20:10:36 PAST EXPERIENCE WORKING CLOSELY WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT, IT IS
20:10:38 VERY DIFFICULT FOR INSPECTORS TO CONFIRM IF MORE THAN FOUR
20:10:42 UNRELATED ADULTS ARE RESIDING IN A SINGLE HOUSING UNIT.
20:10:45 THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN IS ALSO PROBLEMATIC.
20:10:48 IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS PARTICULAR LOT IS OF THE SIZE
20:10:50 APPROPRIATE FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE, NOT A TRIPLEX, WHICH
20:10:54 REQUIRES MORE PARKING.
20:10:55 THE REQUEST TO DECREASE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER WILL
20:10:58 ESSENTIALLY RESULT IN CARS PARKED RIGHT ALONG THE ABUTTING
20:11:01 PROPERTY.
20:11:01 IT ALSO CREATES A VEHICULAR WAY CONNECTING ROBLES STREET AND
20:11:05 ST. CLAIR, WHICH IS A HORRIBLE PRECEDENT GOING FORWARD AS IT
20:11:08 IS NOT IN LINE WITH THE HISTORIC URBAN GRID.
20:11:11 FINALLY, THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS MADE UP OF
20:11:13 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES.
20:11:14 GETTING BACK TO THE CODE AND WHY PROPERTIES ARE MANDATED TO
20:11:17 BE RETURNED BACK TO CURRENT ZONING ONCE A PROPERTY IS
20:11:21 VACANT, THIS IS ALLOWS FOR THE HISTORIC FABRIC TO BE
20:11:23 REPAIRED AND FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD TO IMPROVE OVER TIME.
20:11:27 I WOULD SUGGEST HE NEEDS TO OPERATE A PROPERTY LIKE THIS IN
20:11:30 HIS NEIGHBOR, NEAR HIS HOME, NOT IN OTHER PEOPLE'S
20:11:33 NEIGHBORHOODS.
20:11:34 THANK YOU.
20:11:34 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MADAM.
20:11:36 NEXT, PLEASE.
20:11:39 >> JEFF ROIDT, 1210 EAST 26th AVENUE.
20:11:42 I CAN'T SAY MUCH MORE THAN KELLY JUST SAID.
20:11:46 BUT GOING TO THE PRECEDENT BEING SET, WHETHER IT BE THIS
20:11:50 NEIGHBORHOOD OR GRAY GABLES OR WHEREVER, IT'S FOR
20:11:53 IMPROVEMENT.
20:11:55 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STRIVING FOR IN VM YBOR.
20:11:59 I FEEL IF THIS IS PASSED IT WOULD BE A STEP BACK FOR
20:12:06 PRECEDENCE BEING SET.
20:12:08 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:12:19 >> MY NAME IS CORNELIA ELIZABETH GREGHOUSE.
20:12:25 I AM THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE RIGHT THERE.
20:12:28 YOU CAN SEE THAT YELLOW LINE CONNECTS TWO HOUSES OR
20:12:34 STRUCTURES.
20:12:36 FROM THE BEGINNING OF THAT HOUSE RIGHT HERE, THERE'S TWO
20:12:39 MORE STRUCTURES THAT GO DOWN THAT WHOLE SIDE OF NEBRASKA.
20:12:43 THEY ARE ALL ROOMING HOUSES.
20:12:45 THEY ARE ALL IN VIOLATION OF MULTIPLE FIRE CODES, TOO MANY
20:12:50 PEOPLE, AND NOW THIS STRUCTURE TO MY LEFT, I WILL BE FLANKED
20:12:54 ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF MY PROPERTY BY ROOMING
20:12:57 HOUSES THAT TAKE IN SEX OFFENDERS, PEDOPHILES, DRUG ADDICTS,
20:13:04 ALCOHOLICS, MENTALLY ILL, AND HOMELESS.
20:13:06 IT'S TOO MUCH IN A VERY SMALL AREA FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
20:13:13 BEING OVERWHELMED.
20:13:15 I FEEL AS IF WE ARE A DUMPING GROUND FOR THESE PEOPLE.
20:13:21 AS A COMMUNITY, AS A NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WE CAN'T TAKE MUCH
20:13:24 MORE OF THIS.
20:13:24 JUST DOWN THE STREET, THERE'S TRINITY, WHICH ALSO ADDS TO
20:13:29 THE CONFUSION.
20:13:31 EVERY SINGLE DAY I GET UP AND I HAVE TO SEE THINGS IN MY
20:13:35 FRONT YARD AND BACKYARD THAT I WOULD RATHER NOT SEE.
20:13:38 GARBAGE, DRUG ADDICTS PASSED OUT IN MY BACKYARD AND FRONT
20:13:42 YARD.
20:13:43 PEOPLE PITCHING TENTS IN MY BACKYARD.
20:13:46 I GO OUT EVERY DAY AND PICK UP THEIR GARBAGE.
20:13:49 THEIR NEEDLES, THEIR BOTTLES, THEIR CANS.
20:13:52 SINCE PEOPLE ALREADY LIVING IN THIS STRUCTURE THAT IS ON
20:13:56 ST. CLAIR, IT IS LITTERED WITH GARBAGE, VENDING MACHINES,
20:14:03 EMPTY BINS, TIRES, CARS, ALL KINDS OF DEBRIS.
20:14:08 AND THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I CAN ALREADY TELL IT'S ATTRACTING,
20:14:12 THERE IS A SIGN OVER THE DOOR, CALLED HOMELESS HELPING
20:14:16 HOMELESS.
20:14:17 I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT ENTAILS, IF THIS IS A
20:14:22 CHARITABLE THING BEING INSTALLED IN THIS STRUCTURE OR NOT,
20:14:25 BUT I JUST DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING, NOT IN THIS AREA.
20:14:29 AS THIS GENTLEMAN BEFORE WE JUST SAID, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO
20:14:33 BRING THAT NEIGHBORHOOD UP, NOT DRAG IT FURTHER DOWN INTO
20:14:37 THE GUTTER.
20:14:38 THIS IS GOING TO DO JUST THAT.
20:14:40 IN FACT, THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT ATTORNEY DIAZ SHOWED WAS NOT
20:14:47 THE SIDE OR THE BACK OF THE BUILDING THAT'S NEXT TO IT.
20:14:51 THAT WAS THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
20:14:53 THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
20:14:56 THANK YOU.
20:14:57 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:14:58 NEXT, PLEASE.
20:15:01 >> HI.
20:15:02 MY NAME IS RICARDO CROUSE.
20:15:04 1520.
20:15:06 -- 1520 EAST 21st AVENUE.
20:15:12 AS A RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND A MEMBER OF THE BOARD,
20:15:16 WE STRIVE TO TRY TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE IN THE
20:15:22 NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:15:22 THE CITY HAS THE POWER TO HELP US OR IT HAS THE POWER RIGHT
20:15:27 NOW TO SET US BACK SOME MORE.
20:15:29 WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS AND
20:15:33 BASED ON THE OBSERVATIONS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE THE
20:15:36 STRUCTURE IS BASICALLY WHAT SOME MAY CALL A -- SOMETHING
20:15:44 OPERATED BY A SLUMLORD.
20:15:46 NOT SOMETHING I WANT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, OR YOU WOULD WANT
20:15:50 IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR MR. DIAZ IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:15:52 IT IS IN YOUR HANDS TO TAKE THE PRECEDENT THAT THIS IS
20:15:55 SETTING AND MAYBE CONSIDER THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS IT'S GOING
20:15:59 TO HAVE GOING FORWARD.
20:16:01 I JUST THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO ON A REGULAR
20:16:05 BASIS, AND JUST PLEASE CONSIDER THIS VERY STRONGLY.
20:16:12 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:16:13 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:16:13 ANYONE ELSE TO COMMENT ON ITEM 7?
20:16:15 PETITIONER, REBUTTAL?
20:16:17 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: A QUESTION TO STAFF BEFORE YOU GET TO.
20:16:20 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
20:16:22 GO AHEAD.
20:16:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MARY.
20:16:23 JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IS THE MAIN REASON THEY ARE IN IS
20:16:33 FOR THAT SMALL LITTLE 500 AND SOME DWELLING UNIT?
20:16:39 OTHERWISE, IS THE FRONT DUPLEX LEGAL?
20:16:42 TODAY?
20:16:44 I MEAN, FROM A ZONING PERSPECTIVE, NOT FROM A CODE
20:16:50 ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE.
20:16:54 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
20:16:56 I BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE SOME CODE VIOLATIONS FOR A ROOMING
20:17:14 HOUSE BACK IN 2018 FOR THIS CASE.
20:17:16 THE APPLICANT APPROACHED STAFF AND SAID THAT IT'S CURRENTLY
20:17:19 ZONED RS-50, WHICH IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ZONING
20:17:24 DISTRICT, WHICH WOULD ONLY ALLOW ONE DWELLING UNIT.
20:17:27 THEY WANTED TO FORMALLY INVEST IT FOR THREE DWELLING UNITS
20:17:31 AS OPPOSED TO --
20:17:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF IT WAS DENIED, THEN NOT ONLY THE REAR
20:17:40 UNIT COULD NOT BE USED BUT THE FRONT UNIT WOULD HAVE TO
20:17:45 REVERT BACK TO A SINGLE UNIT.
20:17:47 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I RECOMMEND THEY COME IN AND DO A FORMAL
20:17:50 DECISION TO PROVE TO STAFF THAT THE NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS
20:17:53 THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE ALL NONCONFORMING, WHICH MEANS THAT
20:17:56 THEY WERE LEGALLY ESTABLISHED AND THEY HAVE BEEN CONTINUALLY
20:18:00 OCCUPIED SINCE THEY WERE LEGALLY ESTABLISHED AND HAVE NOT
20:18:03 LAPSED FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 180 DAYS.
20:18:06 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THEY COULD DO THAT ON BOTH STRUCTURES,
20:18:08 THEORETICALLY?
20:18:08 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE ENTIRE SITE.
20:18:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF THEY DIDN'T DO THAT, THEN AS OF RIGHT
20:18:14 NOW, IT WOULD REVERT BACK TO THE RS-50, ONE UNIT FOR THE
20:18:18 WHOLE PROPERTY.
20:18:20 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: RIGHT.
20:18:20 I MEAN, THAT'S THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT, YES.
20:18:23 THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT HE BELIEVES IT'S A
20:18:27 NONCONFORMING USE.
20:18:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
20:18:31 >>LUIS VIERA: GO AHEAD, SIR.
20:18:36 >> MR. DINGFELDER --
20:18:37 >>LUIS VIERA: I'M SORRY.
20:18:37 NAME.
20:18:38 >> JOSEPH DIAZ.
20:18:39 GENTLEMEN, LOOK, I DON'T DOUBT THAT THIS LADY IS HAVING
20:18:43 PROBLEMS ON HER PROPERTY, BUT WHO'S TO SAY THAT PROBLEM IS
20:18:48 EMANATING FROM OUR PROPERTY?
20:18:50 WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IS ON NEBRASKA AVENUE, THEY HAVE SOME
20:18:53 DRUG REHAB FACILITIES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
20:18:56 I THINK THAT THAT'S WHERE HER PROBLEMS ARE COMING FROM.
20:18:58 THERE'S NOTHING THAT TIES THOSE CONCERNS THAT SHE HAS TO OUR
20:19:03 PROPERTY.
20:19:03 WHEN SHE SAID THAT THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST OF
20:19:08 US IS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE, IT IS NOT.
20:19:11 I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE.
20:19:13 THE PIECE THAT FRONTS ON ST. CLAIR IS A SINGLE UNIT, AND THE
20:19:19 PIECE THAT FRONTS ON ROBLES IS A TWO-STORY.
20:19:23 SO THERE ARE THREE RENTAL UNITS THERE.
20:19:27 THAT CHARACTER OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY
20:19:32 PICTURES OF ANY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE IN THAT IMMEDIATE
20:19:36 AREA.
20:19:36 THE PROPERTY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US IS VACANT.
20:19:39 THE ONE CATTY-CORNER IS THE ONE WHERE I SHOWED YOU THE
20:19:42 DUPLEX.
20:19:42 THE TWO TO THE EAST OF US, THE ADJOINING OF THE OTHER ONE
20:19:45 ARE MULTIFAMILY.
20:19:46 THE ONE ON ROBLES AND TALIAFERRO IS A DUPLEX.
20:19:50 THE CHARACTER OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD MAY BE RS-50, BUT IT'S
20:19:54 NOT BEING UTILIZED AS A SINGLE-FAMILY IN THAT AREA.
20:19:56 WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU APPROVE THIS.
20:20:01 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:20:02 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
20:20:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MARY, YOU SAID THAT THAT PROPERTY WAS
20:20:07 CITED, PETITIONER'S PROPERTY WAS CITED FOR A BOARDING HOME?
20:20:15 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, SIR, IT'S IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.
20:20:18 PAGE 8, THERE WAS A CODE CASE, BACK IN 2018 FOR A ROOMING
20:20:24 HOUSE.
20:20:28 >>ORLANDO GUDES: RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NO CURRENT CASES OPEN
20:20:30 RIGHT NOW.
20:20:31 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
20:20:36 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THAT IS A BIG CONCERN OF MINE IN THAT AREA.
20:20:40 THERE ARE A LOT OF ILLEGAL, PER SE, BOARDING HOMES BEING
20:20:47 UTILIZED IN THAT AREA, A LOT OF THEM.
20:20:51 WE HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS IN THE CITY.
20:20:55 I'M VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THAT AND THAT'S ONE OF MY
20:20:58 CHALLENGES.
20:20:58 BUT I DO KNOW THAT THAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IN REFERENCE TO A
20:21:04 LOT OF THE PROPERTIES IN THAT GENERAL VICINITY BEING USED AS
20:21:07 BOARDING HOMES WITH MULTIPLE RESIDENTS INSIDE OF THEM.
20:21:13 NOT TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.
20:21:15 I MEAN MULTIPLE.
20:21:16 I RESERVE MY COMMENTS FOR LATER, MR. CHAIR.
20:21:20 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:21:22 ARE YOU WITH THE PETITIONER REPRESENTING?
20:21:24 >> YES.
20:21:24 >>LUIS VIERA: COME FORWARD, SIR.
20:21:26 >> MY NAME IS PERRY SULLIVAN.
20:21:28 ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE'RE DOING THIS IS TRY TO BRING IT
20:21:33 UP TO CODE.
20:21:34 TRY TO CLEAN IT UP INSIDE AND OUT.
20:21:37 WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT WHERE IT WILL COMPLY WITH CODE WITH
20:21:41 ALL THE FIRE REQUIREMENTS, ALL THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS AND
20:21:44 EVERYTHING ELSE IT HAS TO BE.
20:21:46 NO BUILDING IN TOWN YOU CAN GUARANTEE WHAT'S GOING TO GO
20:21:50 INSIDE ONCE THEY GET A CO.
20:21:51 THAT'S ACROSS THE BOARD.
20:21:53 YOU CAN'T DO ANY BUILDING LIKE THAT.
20:21:55 WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO AGAIN WITH THE VAGRANTS AND THE
20:21:58 PEDOPHILES AND THOSE GUYS.
20:22:00 BUT AS FAR AS THE PEOPLE RENTING IN OUR BUILDING, WE HAVE
20:22:05 CONTROL OVER THAT.
20:22:07 WE HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THAT.
20:22:08 AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO BRING IT UP TO CODE.
20:22:11 WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE ROOMING HOUSE DOWN AND MAKE IT
20:22:17 COMPLY WITH WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
20:22:19 THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE'RE DOING THIS ALSO.
20:22:22 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:22:24 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
20:22:24 SIR, ARE YOU HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
20:22:31 >> YES, SIR, INDEED, CONCERNING THE PROPERTY.
20:22:32 >>LUIS VIERA: I'LL LET YOU SPEAK BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN
20:22:35 UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT.
20:22:37 >> I APOLOGIZE.
20:22:38 WE HAD A MESS OF PEOPLE UP FRONT.
20:22:43 MY NAME IS RANDY HEATH.
20:22:45 I AM ACTUALLY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR HOMELESS
20:22:49 HELPING HOMELESS.
20:22:50 MY ADDRESS IS 801A ST. CLAIR.
20:22:54 I RESIDE AT THIS LOCATION.
20:22:56 I RESPECT WHAT EVERYONE HAD TO SAY HERE, SIR, AS FAR AS WHAT
20:23:00 THEY FOUND TO BE THE CONDITION OF THE HOME.
20:23:03 I'M RELATIVELY NEW TO TAMPA.
20:23:05 I'M NOT HERE TO QUESTION ZONING WHATSOEVER.
20:23:07 I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO DO SO.
20:23:09 BUT I'M CERTAINLY IN A POSITION TO EXPLAIN COMPLETELY WHAT
20:23:12 THAT PLACE IS ABOUT.
20:23:13 I HEARD -- OVERHEARD THAT WE HAVE 18 PEOPLE IN THERE.
20:23:17 IT'S A ROOMING HOUSE AND THIS AND THAT.
20:23:19 SIR, I FOUND MYSELF HOMELESS ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.
20:23:24 ATTEMPTED TO FIND SHELTER.
20:23:26 UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM OF ANY SORT FOR
20:23:29 SOMEONE TO BRING ME IN ON ANY PROGRAM.
20:23:32 THESE FOLKS BROUGHT ME IN.
20:23:34 THEY RUN A VERY TIGHT SHIP.
20:23:36 THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY ANSWER THE DOOR AND ALLOW
20:23:40 PEOPLE TO WALK IN.
20:23:41 THIS IS NOT A ROOMING HOUSE.
20:23:43 I PAID NOTHING.
20:23:44 THESE GUYS HAVE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
20:23:47 IF THEY DO NOT ABIDE BY THEM, THEY ARE OUT THE DOOR.
20:23:51 THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESIDING THERE RIGHT NOW FEEL SAFER IN
20:23:54 THE CONFINES OF THE FENCE IN THE BACKYARD THAN OUTSIDE THE
20:23:59 FENCE.
20:24:00 THERE IS UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS THAT GO ON EVERY
20:24:04 EVENING OUTSIDE THE GATES OF THAT ADDRESS.
20:24:07 SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO PORTRAY.
20:24:09 I WANTED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HAPPENS.
20:24:12 I'M VERY CLOSE AND PERSONAL TO THIS.
20:24:14 I'M NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN HOW I GOT THERE.
20:24:17 IT'S MOOT.
20:24:19 BELIEVE ME, I DIDN'T BRING MY VIOLIN.
20:24:21 THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS I'M SORRY.
20:24:23 ANY TRASH OUT THERE, IF IT'S NOT CLEANED UP, WHOEVER CAUSED
20:24:27 THAT, THEY ARE GONE.
20:24:29 WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT IS SET UP TO THE POINT WHERE PEOPLE GO
20:24:33 BY THE RULES.
20:24:34 THERE ARE NOT DRUNKS IN THERE.
20:24:36 IF ANYONE IS FOUND WITH ALCOHOL WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THOSE
20:24:39 GATES, I'M SORRY.
20:24:40 THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES.
20:24:42 SO THERE'S A LOT MORE TO THIS.
20:24:44 AS FAR AS THE ZONING, PLEASE, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
20:24:47 I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY AND GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT.
20:24:51 I HONESTLY CAN'T STAND HERE AND LISTEN TO SOMEBODY TALK
20:24:54 ABOUT WHERE I'M GOING HOME TONIGHT.
20:24:56 THAT'S THE FACTS.
20:24:57 AND I WELCOME ANYONE, ANYTIME TO PLEASE COME OUT AND SEE FOR
20:25:01 YOURSELF.
20:25:01 CODE ENFORCEMENT WAS OUT YESTERDAY.
20:25:04 MR. PARKER.
20:25:05 HE SAID, RANDY, COME ALONG.
20:25:06 OKAY.
20:25:07 I FOLLOWED ALONG, AND SURE ENOUGH, EVERYTHING WENT FINE.
20:25:10 THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS.
20:25:12 EVIDENTLY, MY TIME IS UP OR 25 SECONDS. AS I SAID, I
20:25:18 RESPECT THEIR OPINION.
20:25:19 I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT I HAVE FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE.
20:25:23 THANK YOU.
20:25:24 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:25:24 WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
20:25:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY THE HEAD OF THE
20:25:34 ORGANIZATION BUT YOU'VE BEEN THERE A LITTLE WHILE.
20:25:37 IS THE ORGANIZATION A TENANT RENTING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY,
20:25:40 CONTROLLING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE BACK
20:25:44 BUILDING?
20:25:45 >> NO, SIR, NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
20:25:47 THERE'S NO ONE THAT IS A GUEST.
20:25:50 I DO SAY GUEST, IN THAT HOUSE WHILE THEY ARE IN A
20:25:54 TRANSITIONAL PERIOD TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET.
20:25:56 IT IS HOMELESS HELPING HOMELESS.
20:25:59 THEY ARE HOMELESS BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING RENT IF THAT'S
20:26:01 WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
20:26:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE ORGANIZATION, IS THE ORGANIZATION THE
20:26:06 TENANT OF THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY?
20:26:08 >> YES, SIR.
20:26:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND INCLUDING THE BACK UNIT?
20:26:11 >> AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YES, SIR.
20:26:13 I'M SORRY TO TOSS THAT IN.
20:26:16 BUT, YES, SIR, WE OPERATE OUT OF THAT BACK ROOM AS WELL.
20:26:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THERE ARE FOLKS LIVING IN THE BACK
20:26:21 UNIT.
20:26:21 >> NEGATIVE.
20:26:21 IT'S MORE OF AN OFFICE STORAGE AREA.
20:26:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
20:26:25 >> THANK YOU.
20:26:25 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:26:28 APPRECIATE THE TIME.
20:26:29 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
20:26:29 MARY, BEFORE YOU COME UP, PETITIONER, DID YOU HAVE ANY
20:26:33 REBUTTAL AFTER THAT PUBLIC COMMENT?
20:26:35 I WOULD THINK NOT.
20:26:37 NONE.
20:26:37 OKAY.
20:26:38 GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
20:26:41 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
20:26:43 JUST TO CLARIFY THE RECORD, I DID -- I'M LOOKING AT OUR
20:26:46 ONLINE PERMITTING SYSTEM.
20:26:48 THAT CODE CASE IS ACTUALLY STILL IN PROCESS.
20:26:51 IT HAS PASSED INSPECTION FOR ROOMING HOUSE WITH THE CODE
20:26:55 ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
20:26:56 THEY HAVE GONE OUT THERE, DONE AN INSPECTION TO DETERMINE
20:26:59 THAT IT'S CURRENTLY IN COMPLIANCE, BUT TECHNICALLY THE CASE
20:27:01 IS STILL IN PROCESS.
20:27:02 SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE RECORD FOR THAT.
20:27:04 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
20:27:06 >>BILL CARLSON: THE USE THAT WAS JUST DESCRIBED BY THE
20:27:08 GENTLEMAN THAT STOOD UP, IS THAT ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT
20:27:12 DESIGNATION?
20:27:13 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT OF
20:27:16 RS-50, IT IS A SINGLE DWELLING UNIT.
20:27:18 FOUR UNRELATED PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN A SINGLE DWELLING UNIT.
20:27:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HOW ABOUT THE PROPOSED PD?
20:27:28 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: PROPOSED PD, THEY ARE ASKING FOR THREE
20:27:30 DWELLING UNITS.
20:27:31 PER CODE, THREE UNRELATED PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN A DWELLING
20:27:36 UNIT.
20:27:37 THEREFORE, YOU WOULD HAVE 12.
20:27:39 ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
20:27:44 THANK YOU.
20:27:45 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:27:47 >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS, CITY ATTORNEY OFFICE.
20:27:50 JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD, GIVEN THE TESTIMONY ABOUT
20:27:53 THE OPEN CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE, THAT CANNOT BE USED AS A
20:27:57 BASIS TO DENY THE APPLICATION.
20:27:58 THANK YOU.
20:28:01 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
20:28:02 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
20:28:03 MOTION TO CLOSE FIRST MADE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO --
20:28:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: BEFORE YOU CLOSE.
20:28:09 ONE MORE QUESTION TO MS. WELLS.
20:28:10 MS. WELLS, I NOTICE SOMETIMES MUNICIPALS GET IN A LITTLE
20:28:18 TROUBLE WITH PROTECTED CLASSES, LIKE ALCOHOL TREATMENT
20:28:24 FACILITY OR THAT SORT OF THING.
20:28:30 I REMEMBER BEING A LITIGANT IN LITIGATION LIKE THAT UNDER
20:28:35 THE ADA AND ALL.
20:28:36 IS HOMELESS IN ANY WAY A PROTECTED CLASS?
20:28:41 >>CATE WELLS: THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS NOT FOR A SPECIAL
20:28:43 USE PERMIT FOR ANY TYPE OF USE.
20:28:45 IT'S REZONING FROM RS-50 TO PD.
20:28:48 THAT SHOULD BE THE FOCUS OF YOUR REVIEW, IS THIS APPROPRIATE
20:28:53 AND COMPATIBLE UNDER YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND IN YOUR
20:28:56 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO CREATING THREE DWELLING
20:28:59 UNITS ON THIS ONE PARCEL?
20:29:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
20:29:02 THANK YOU.
20:29:02 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
20:29:06 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ALSO, IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU,
20:29:08 MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, JUST A REMINDER THAT YOU DO HAVE THE
20:29:12 CODE CRITERIA ON PAGES 4, 5, AND 6, PARTICULARLY SECTION
20:29:16 27-136, THE PURPOSES OF A PD AND ALSO THE WAIVER CRITERIA ON
20:29:22 PAGE 6, 27-139-4.
20:29:26 IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW YOU DECIDE THIS CASE, IT WOULD BE MY
20:29:31 RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU BASE YOUR DECISION ON COMPETENT,
20:29:37 SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND YOU MAKE SPECIFIC FINDINGS OF FACT
20:29:40 AND YOU APPLY THEM TO THE PARTICULAR SECTIONS OF THE CODE
20:29:42 RELATIVE TO THIS.
20:29:43 THAT BEING SAID, THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF STAFF BEFORE THE
20:29:45 HEARING WAS CLOSED.
20:29:46 I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT MR. DIAZ HAD
20:29:50 THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FINAL WORD.
20:29:53 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING FURTHER, MR. DIAZ?
20:29:55 OKAY, THE RECORD REFLECTS NONE.
20:29:57 WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, I THINK
20:30:00 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
20:30:01 ANY IN FAVOR?
20:30:02 ANY OPPOSED?
20:30:03 I'LL GO THROUGH -- I GUESS COUNCILMAN CARLSON WAS LAST.
20:30:07 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, DO YOU WISH TO TAKE THIS ONE ON?
20:30:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL PASS.
20:30:10 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN GUDES, DO YOU WISH TO TAKE THIS
20:30:13 ITEM NUMBER 7 ON, SIR?
20:30:15 YOU'RE READING IT?
20:30:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'LL PROBABLY MOVE TO DENY.
20:30:48 >>LUIS VIERA: I WAS GOING TO SAY, I WAS GOING TO ASK
20:30:50 MR. SHELBY THAT, IF I ASK SOMEONE TO READ IT AND THEY CHOOSE
20:30:53 TO DENY IT, THEY CAN DO SO, CORRECT?
20:30:56 THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
20:30:57 GO FOR IT.
20:30:59 THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
20:31:02 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR, I'M GOING TO DENY FILE REZ
20:31:11 19-110.
20:31:13 I DON'T THINK THE PETITIONER HAS MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF IN
20:31:21 REFERENCE TO THE WAIVER CONDITIONS, SECTION 27-2843, THE
20:31:29 8 FEET BUFFER, ALSO SECTION 2, 27-284.33.
20:31:41 AS WELL.
20:31:41 THAT'S MY BASIS OF THE DENIAL.
20:31:49 >>LUIS VIERA: DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
20:31:51 WE HAVE A MOTION -- MR. SHELBY, WERE YOU GOING TO SAY
20:31:56 SOMETHING?
20:31:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M WONDERING, COUNCIL, I NOTICE YOU CITED
20:32:01 THE WAIVER SECTION, THE WAIVER CRITERIA.
20:32:05 WERE THERE ANY PARTICULAR FINDINGS WITH REGARD TO WHAT
20:32:08 WITHIN THAT WAIVER CRITERIA WAS NOT MET?
20:32:11 ALSO, WITH REGARD TO 27-136, DO YOU WISH TO MAKE ANY
20:32:16 FINDINGS RELATIVE TO THE ONE, TWO, THREE THROUGH NINE
20:32:20 DIFFERENT CRITERIA THERE WITH REGARD TO THE EVIDENCE THAT
20:32:26 YOU'VE DETERMINED IT TO BE?
20:32:29 I SHOULD POINT THIS OUT, THAT IF THERE'S A MOTION ON THE
20:32:35 FLOOR, IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OR TESTIMONY THAT
20:32:39 ANY PARTICULAR COUNCIL MEMBER WISHES TO REFERENCE IN SUPPORT
20:32:44 OF THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
20:32:46 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING TO ADD, COUNCILMAN GUDES, OR IF
20:32:51 ANYBODY WISHES TO AMEND, AFTER GIVING COUNCILMAN GUDES,
20:32:55 SINCE IT'S HIS MOTION.
20:32:57 TAKE YOUR TIME.
20:32:58 WE'RE IN NO RUSH.
20:33:13 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN ASSIST.
20:33:14 COUNCILMAN GUDES, IF I MAY.
20:33:16 JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE PROCESS, FOR INSTANCE, ON PAGE
20:33:20 4, YOU HAVE SECTION 27-136, WHICH ARE THE PURPOSES FOR
20:33:27 ALLOWING THE, IN THIS CASE, PETITION FOR A PLANNED
20:33:35 DEVELOPMENT.
20:33:35 NOW, YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT THE STAFF HAS
20:33:40 DELINEATED, AND THEY ARE NUMBERED ALL THE WAY FROM ONE
20:33:43 THROUGH NINE.
20:33:44 THEY ARE BASES UPON WHICH YOU CAN BASE YOUR DECISION.
20:33:49 THE STAFF HAS GIVEN ITS OPINION AND THOSE ARE PLACED THERE
20:33:57 IN ITALICS AND IN BOLD.
20:34:00 HOWEVER, IF DEPENDING ON THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
20:34:05 YOU'VE HEARD AT THE HEARING, IF YOU AS A COUNCIL, A COUNCIL
20:34:10 MEMBER INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A BODY, FIND THAT THERE ARE FACTS
20:34:14 THAT SUPPORT A POSITION OTHER THAN WHAT STAFF FINDS OR
20:34:18 CONSISTENT OR INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE CRITERIA IS, YOU
20:34:21 CAN MAKE THAT FINDING OF FACT AND APPLY THAT CODE IN SUPPORT
20:34:25 OF YOUR POSITION.
20:34:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF THE MAKER OF THE MOTION
20:34:37 WOULD LIKE, I'LL BE GLAD TO ASSIST SLIGHTLY.
20:34:43 OKAY.
20:34:44 IN REGARD TO THE WAIVER ON PAGE 6 OF THE STAFF REPORT, IT
20:34:50 SAYS THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE WAIVER
20:34:55 THROUGH THE PD PROCESS.
20:35:00 ITEM B ON THERE SAYS THE WAIVER IF ALLOWED WOULD NOT
20:35:03 SUBSTANTIALLY INTERFERE WITH OR INJURE THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS
20:35:06 WHOSE PROPERTY WOULD BE AFFECTED BY ALLOWANCE OF THE WAIVER.
20:35:08 I BELIEVE WE'VE HEARD QUITE A BIT OF TESTIMONY TO THE
20:35:13 CONTRARY.
20:35:14 ALSO, IN REGARD TO THE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS THAT COUNCILMAN
20:35:24 GUDES SPOKE TO, THAT THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THE WAIVER IN
20:35:28 REGARD TO THE ONE-WAY DRIVEWAY COMING IN ON ST. CLAIR AND
20:35:32 EXITING ON ROBLES, THERE WAS TESTIMONY THAT THAT WAS WITHOUT
20:35:37 PRECEDENT FOR A DRIVE AISLE TO COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH
20:35:44 THERE.
20:35:45 AND ALSO, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR PARKING SPACES TO COME ALL
20:35:48 THE WAY UP TO A ZERO LOT LINE, ZERO-FOOT LINE TO THE EDGE OF
20:35:58 THE PROPERTY.
20:36:02 AGAIN, THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT WAIVER TO ALLOW PROPERTY UP TO
20:36:05 A ZERO LINE.
20:36:06 THAT'S A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO YOUR MOTION, MR. GUDES.
20:36:10 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
20:36:13 ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCILMAN?
20:36:14 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.
20:36:17 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
20:36:19 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:36:21 ANY OPPOSED?
20:36:23 NAY.
20:36:26 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH VIERA VOTING NO.
20:36:37 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM 8.
20:36:39 MARY SAMANIEGO, ITEM 8 IS REZ 19-111, ZONING REQUEST FOR THE
20:36:44 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1210 WEST LINEBAUGH AVENUE FROM RS-50 TO
20:36:49 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
20:36:54 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
20:36:56 COMMISSION STAFF.
20:36:57 WE'RE IN UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT.
20:37:00 EVACUATION ZONE E.
20:37:03 FOREST HILLS PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY.
20:37:06 BUS ROUTE 14 AND 45 SERVE THE SUBJECT SITE.
20:37:10 WE'RE ON WEST LINEBAUGH AVENUE, AS MARY POINTED OUT.
20:37:15 WEST LINEBAUGH AVENUE HAS A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL USES.
20:37:18 THIS IS NORTH BOULEVARD.
20:37:19 THERE IS A CHURCH AT THIS CORNER, AND THEN IT TRANSITIONS TO
20:37:24 THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
20:37:26 TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE FOREST HILLS
20:37:29 NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH YOU'LL SEE ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
20:37:33 SUBJECT SITE IS RESIDENTIAL 20.
20:37:35 THAT IS THE BROWN COLOR.
20:37:36 RESIDENTIAL 10 IS THE ORANGE.
20:37:39 THIS IS RESIDENTIAL 6.
20:37:41 THAT'S THE YELLOW TO THE NORTH AND THAT IS THAT FOREST HILLS
20:37:43 NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
20:37:45 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
20:37:49 IN ORDER TO DO THE PROFESSIONAL USES WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL
20:37:55 20 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, THE APPLICANT MUST MEET
20:37:59 LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
20:38:00 ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE
20:38:02 LAND USE DESIGNATION IS THAT THE SUBJECT SITE MUST HAVE
20:38:05 ACCESS DIRECTLY ONTO A COLLECTOR ROADWAY OR HIGHER.
20:38:08 WEST LINEBAUGH AVENUE IS A COLLECTOR ROADWAY, SO WE DID FIND
20:38:11 THAT CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA, AND WE DID
20:38:14 FIND THAT THE OFFICE USE AT THIS LOCATION WOULD BE A
20:38:17 COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE USE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE
20:38:21 SURROUNDING AREA AND WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY ADVERSE IMPACTS.
20:38:25 THAT'S MY PRESENTATION.
20:38:26 THANK YOU.
20:38:26 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:38:33 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
20:38:34 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
20:38:34 JENNIFER SHOWED YOU AN AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY.
20:38:44 HERE IS THE ZONING MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
20:38:46 AGAIN, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IN GREEN.
20:38:49 AS JENNIFER WAS STATING, THIS HAS TO MEET LOCATIONAL
20:38:52 CRITERIA.
20:38:53 SHE EXPLAINED THAT.
20:38:54 YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS TO THE
20:39:00 NORTH, NORTHEAST, EAST, AND TO THE FAR EAST OF THE PROPERTY,
20:39:05 ALIGNED WITH LINEBAUGH AVENUE.
20:39:08 HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
20:39:12 CURRENTLY A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE.
20:39:14 THIS IS IT FROM THE SIDE STREET, WHICH IS WILLOW.
20:39:19 TO THE NORTH, NONRESIDENTIAL USE.
20:39:26 AND CATTY-CORNER TO THE NORTHEAST IS A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS
20:39:30 ASSEMBLY.
20:39:30 ANOTHER PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY DIRECTLY TO THE WEST AND
20:39:34 DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE TO THE SOUTH.
20:39:36 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A PD TO CONVERT THE EXISTING
20:39:47 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE INTO A BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
20:39:52 THAT WOULD BE THE SOLE USE THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED.
20:39:58 EXISTING STRUCTURE APPROXIMATELY 1400 SQUARE FEET.
20:40:00 THE LOT IS A LITTLE OVER 7,000 SQUARE FEET.
20:40:02 BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING, FOR BUSINESS
20:40:09 PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USE, FIVE PARKING SPACES WOULD BE
20:40:11 REQUIRED.
20:40:12 THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR THREE
20:40:16 PARKING SPACES.
20:40:17 AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE PER THE SITE PLAN, BECAUSE THEY ARE
20:40:21 TRYING TO WORK AROUND AN EXISTING -- LET'S MOVE IT UP OUT OF
20:40:24 THE CC.
20:40:25 THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK AROUND AN EXISTING STRUCTURE, THERE
20:40:30 ARE LIMITED LOCATIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR PARKING.
20:40:33 SO THEY HAVE ONE PARKING IN THE GARAGE, ANOTHER ONE HERE,
20:40:36 AND THE THIRD ADA SPOT FACING TO THE SOUTH.
20:40:39 FOR YOUR REFERENCE, THIS IS LINEBAUGH AVENUE, AND THEN HERE
20:40:43 IS WILLOW.
20:40:44 ANOTHER WAIVER THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS COMMERCIAL ACCESS
20:40:49 ONTO WILLOW TO USE THIS DRIVEWAY AS OPPOSED TO COMING OUT ON
20:40:53 LINEBAUGH BECAUSE THERE'S SOME LIMITED SITE CLEARANCE.
20:40:59 THE THIRD WAIVER THAT THEY ARE ASKING IS TO ALLOW
20:41:02 MANEUVERING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PARKING SPACES BECAUSE
20:41:05 SOME OF THE PARKING WOULD HAVE TO REVERSE OUT ONTO WILLOW
20:41:09 STREET BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION MANEUVERING.
20:41:13 THE LAST WAIVER IS TO REDUCE THE USE AROUND THE SOUTH
20:41:16 PROPERTY LINE FROM 15 FEET WITH A SIX-FOOT HIGH TO FIVE FEET
20:41:23 WITH SIX-FOOT HIGH CMU WALL BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF THIS
20:41:27 ONE PARKING SPACE.
20:41:28 THERE ARE SOME CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING FROM
20:41:33 PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
20:41:35 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT FOR THE PARKING
20:41:38 WAIVER DOWN FROM 40% FROM FIVE SPACES TO 3, FOR THE ACCESS
20:41:42 TO A LOCAL STREET ONTO NORTH WILLOW AVENUE AS WELL AS FOR
20:41:46 THE MANEUVERING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
20:41:48 THERE ARE SOME MINOR CHANGES FROM NATURAL RESOURCES BETWEEN
20:41:51 FIRST AND SECOND READING.
20:41:53 OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF DID
20:41:57 FIND THIS INCONSISTENT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE WAIVER RELATED
20:42:00 TO TRANSPORTATION CODE SECTIONS.
20:42:04 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
20:42:05 BEFORE WE GO FORWARD, OUR CLERKS, YOU ALL WANT A FIVE-MINUTE
20:42:11 BREAK?
20:42:11 WE'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST THREE HOURS, OR TWO AND A HALF.
20:42:14 YOU-ALL ALL RIGHT?
20:42:16 I'LL ASK IN ANOTHER THREE HOURS.
20:42:17 PETITIONER?
20:42:26 >> DAVID PHETHEAN, NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, SUITE 110.
20:42:32 >> DAVID SCHMIDT, 13542 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
20:42:37 ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE PARKING
20:42:41 REDUCTION WAIVER, IF YOU NOTICED, THERE'S A LARGE OAK TREE
20:42:46 THAT SITS DIRECTLY IN THE SIDE DOOR OF OUR PROPERTY.
20:42:51 I DON'T KNOW IF THIS YOUNG LADY HERE HAS THAT PICTURE
20:42:55 READILY AVAILABLE.
20:42:56 BUT YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE IN THE PRESENTATION THAT SHE
20:43:00 MADE.
20:43:01 WHEN WE MET WITH THE TRANSPORTATION AND THE TREE PEOPLE,
20:43:06 THEY DIDN'T WANT US TO TAKE THAT TREE OUT.
20:43:09 THEY WANTED US TO PRESERVE THAT TREE.
20:43:11 SO IN ORDER TO CREATE THE PARKING THAT IS NEEDED, IT'S JUST
20:43:17 PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE THE TREE AND PUT THE FIVE
20:43:23 PARKING PLACES IN.
20:43:24 THE GUY IN THE BACK THAT'S FROM THE TRANSPORTATION
20:43:28 DEPARTMENT IS THE MAN THAT WE MET WITH TO -- YEAH, SEE THIS
20:43:33 OAK TREE RIGHT HERE.
20:43:35 THEY CONSIDERED THAT NOT A GRAND TREE BUT CLOSE TO BEING A
20:43:39 GRAND TREE.
20:43:40 THE ARBORIST REPORT SAID THAT THE TREE WAS HEALTHY.
20:43:45 IT WASN'T VIABLE.
20:43:46 IT WASN'T DISEASED.
20:43:48 THE NATURAL -- OR THE KATHY BECK'S OFFICE REALLY WANTED US
20:43:52 TO SAVE THAT TREE.
20:43:54 THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE PARKING REDUCTION.
20:43:57 AS FAR AS THE ACCESS FROM LINEBAUGH AVENUE TO -- INSTEAD OF
20:44:03 GOING ON TO LINEBAUGH, GOING ON TO WILLOW, WE ONLY HAVE A
20:44:07 FIVE-FOOT SIDE YARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
20:44:12 NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE THIS TREE OUT AND KEEPING A 20-FOOT
20:44:16 BUFFER AROUND THE TREE, THERE'S NO WAY TO GET TO LINEBAUGH
20:44:19 AVENUE.
20:44:20 SO WE HAVE TO UTILIZE WILLOW, WHICH IS WHERE YOU SEE THE
20:44:24 DRIVEWAY THERE NOW.
20:44:27 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE?
20:44:31 >> NO.
20:44:33 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
20:44:34 I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE.
20:44:37 WHAT DO YOU ALL INTEND TO USE THIS FOR?
20:44:42 >> REAL ESTATE OFFICE.
20:44:43 A REAL ESTATE OFFICE.
20:44:45 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
20:44:47 >> DAVID MANAGES RENTAL PROPERTIES.
20:44:49 HE DOESN'T -- HE SELLS REAL ESTATE, BUT HIS PRIMARY BUSINESS
20:44:52 IS RENTAL MANAGEMENT.
20:44:55 >>LUIS VIERA: I'M SORRY.
20:44:56 GO AHEAD.
20:44:56 I INTERRUPTED YOU.
20:44:58 >> NO, GO AHEAD.
20:44:59 >>LUIS VIERA: I ASK THAT BECAUSE OF THE USE OF NORTH WILLOW.
20:45:02 HOW MANY FOLKS WILL BE WORKING THERE, ROUGHLY?
20:45:05 >> TWO.
20:45:06 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
20:45:07 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
20:45:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS I'LL WAIT TO SEE IF YOU HAVE
20:45:17 ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK.
20:45:19 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE, COUNCIL?
20:45:21 IS ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 8?
20:45:25 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
20:45:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: JUST A COMMENT.
20:45:33 IF THERE'S ONE GOOD REASON TO ASK FOR WAIVERS LIKE THIS,
20:45:38 IT'S TO SAVE A BEAUTIFUL TREE LIKE THAT, WHICH MARY JUST
20:45:45 TOOK OFF.
20:45:45 IT LOOKS LIKE A LIVE OAK TO ME.
20:45:48 IT LOOKS RELATIVELY HEALTHY EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE BRANCH.
20:45:52 I GUESS THE REPORT INDICATES IT'S HEALTHY.
20:45:55 SO MORE POWER TO YOU.
20:45:57 THANK YOU.
20:45:59 >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, SIR, IF YOU DON'T MIND, FOR THE
20:46:02 RECORD, HAVE YOU SPOKEN WITH ANYONE IN FOREST HILLS ON THIS?
20:46:06 I HEARD RUMBLINGS ON IT, NOTHING BAD.
20:46:10 >> NO.
20:46:11 WE DID TALK TO OUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS, WHICH THE GUY NEXT
20:46:14 TO US TO THE EAST IS AN AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTOR AND THE
20:46:18 PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET ARE OFFICES.
20:46:20 SO -- BUT WE ALSO OWN OTHER PROPERTIES DOWN WILLOW THAT
20:46:26 BUFFER OUR PROPERTY.
20:46:28 TO BE HONEST WITH THAT ANSWER, NO, WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANY
20:46:35 ASSOCIATIONS NOR HAS ANYBODY REACHED OUT TO US AFTER WE
20:46:39 NOTICED EVERYBODY THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO NOTICE.
20:46:42 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
20:46:43 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
20:46:48 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:46:50 SECONDED I BELIEVE FIRST BY COUNCILMAN GUDES.
20:46:52 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:46:53 ANY OPPOSED?
20:46:54 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, DO YOU WISH TO TAKE THIS ONE?
20:46:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:46:59 I HAVE AN ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING
20:47:01 CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL
20:47:03 VICINITY OF 1210 WEST LINEBAUGH AVENUE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA,
20:47:06 FLORIDA, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM
20:47:09 ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION RS-50 (RESIDENTIAL,
20:47:11 SINGLE-FAMILY) TO PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,
20:47:14 BUSINESS/PROFESSIONAL OFFICE); PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
20:47:17 THE PETITIONER HAS SHOWN MORE THAN ENOUGH PROOF AND
20:47:20 COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT WOULD MERIT THIS
20:47:25 APPROVAL.
20:47:25 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
20:47:27 A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
20:47:30 ALL IN FAVOR?
20:47:31 ANY OPPOSED?
20:47:32 >>MARTIN SHELBY: ALSO, AGAIN, PLEASE THE REVISION SHEET.
20:47:35 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AND WITH THE REVISION SHEET.
20:47:37 >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
20:47:40 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION HELD ON MARCH 5th AT 9:30 A.M.
20:47:44 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
20:47:47 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ITEM NUMBER 9, MARY SAMANIEGO, REZONING
20:47:50 REZ 20-05.
20:47:53 IT'S A REZONING REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6460
20:47:57 EAST TAMPA PALMS BOULEVARD FROM CU, COMMUNITY UNIT TO
20:48:00 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY AND
20:48:03 DAY CARE.
20:48:07 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
20:48:09 COMMISSION STAFF.
20:48:09 WE'RE TRAVELING UP TO THE NEW TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT TODAY.
20:48:12 THERE'S NO LOCAL HART SERVICE SERVING THE SUBJECT SITE.
20:48:16 IT'S ALSO NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
20:48:21 WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE TAMPA PALMS ELEMENTARY,
20:48:24 THOUGH.
20:48:24 THIS IS AN AERIAL.
20:48:25 SO WE HAVE TAMPA PALMS BOULEVARD RIGHT HERE.
20:48:32 THERE'S A VARIETY.
20:48:33 IT'S MOSTLY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE
20:48:37 THE WETLAND NETWORK SURROUNDING THE SITE, WHICH IS REFLECTED
20:48:41 ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
20:48:46 ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS WHICH WE SEE A LOT OF IN NEW
20:48:49 TAMPA.
20:48:50 PINK COLOR IS SUBURBAN MIXED USE SIX WHICH ALSO IS MOSTLY IN
20:48:54 NEW TAMPA.
20:48:55 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
20:48:59 FOR HOMES AND LIMITED COMMERCIAL USES.
20:49:01 BUT THE PROPERTY IS -- THIS USE IS ALLOWABLE WITHIN THE
20:49:04 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
20:49:06 WE DID FIND IT CONSISTENT.
20:49:08 THE APPLICANT IS ONLY ADDING A USE AS A PERMITTED USE WITHIN
20:49:13 THIS PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY.
20:49:15 SO WE DID NOT FIND ANY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INCONSISTENCIES
20:49:21 WITH THIS.
20:49:22 WE DID FIND THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE PROVIDING A
20:49:24 NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING USE TO THE RESIDENTS AND WILL
20:49:26 STRENGTHEN THE SENSE OF PLACE FOR THE TAMPA PALMS
20:49:29 NEIGHBORHOOD, CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY DIRECTION.
20:49:31 IT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AS
20:49:35 WELL.
20:49:35 THANK YOU.
20:49:42 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
20:49:44 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
20:49:44 FOR THE RECORD, HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
20:49:51 IT'S CURRENTLY OUTLINED IN RED.
20:49:53 IT'S A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY CURRENTLY.
20:49:55 THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO ADD A DAY CARE USE.
20:49:59 AFTER THE APPLICANT HAS MET WITH THE -- SOME OF THE
20:50:02 SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
20:50:03 ASSOCIATION, THEY HAVE COMMITTED TO AND AGREED TO PLACE A
20:50:08 NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WOULD STATE THAT THE DAY CARE USE
20:50:12 CANNOT OPERATE AS A STAND-ALONE USE AND MUST BE OPERATED IN
20:50:16 CONJUNCTION WITH A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY THAT IS THE
20:50:19 PRINCIPAL OCCUPANT OF THE BUILDING.
20:50:23 THE SITE PLAN IN THE PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY CONSTRUCTED
20:50:27 WILL REMAIN EXACTLY THE SAME.
20:50:28 AGAIN, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ADD A DAY
20:50:32 CARE USE TO THE EXISTING PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY USE.
20:50:36 WHEN THIS PROJECT WAS APPROVED, IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED
20:50:40 COMMUNITY UNIT, WHICH IS AN OLD COUNTY ZONING DISTRICT THAT
20:50:43 THE CITY ADOPTED WHEN WE ANNEXED THIS PORTION OF NEW TAMPA
20:50:47 IN THE MID 80s.
20:50:49 THE COMMUNITY UNIT, THIS PROPERTY HAD ONE USE, ONLY A PLACE
20:50:52 OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY IN ORDER TO FACILITATE LEGALLY AN
20:50:56 ADDITIONAL USE, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THE PLAN
20:50:59 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
20:51:00 BASED ON THE EXISTING PARKING AND THE WAY OUR PARKING
20:51:04 REGULATIONS WORK, THE REGULATIONS DO NOT CONSIDER SHARED
20:51:08 PARKING, SO EACH USE MUST BE PARKED ON THEIR OWN MERITS WITH
20:51:12 THE COMBINATION OF A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY WITH THEIR
20:51:15 MAXIMUM OCCUPIES AS WELL AS THE ANTICIPATED NUMBER OF DAY
20:51:20 CARE STUDENTS WITH THE ASSOCIATED STAFF TO SUPPORT THEM.
20:51:24 A TOTAL OF 61 PARKING SPACES IS REQUIRED.
20:51:27 UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S ONLY 50 ON-SITE.
20:51:28 SO THIS RESULTS IN A 19% PARKING REDUCTION.
20:51:32 TRANSPORTATION DID SEE THIS PARKING REDUCTION AND FOUND IT
20:51:35 INCONSISTENT.
20:51:36 THERE ARE ONLY TWO CHANGES FOR PLANNING DESIGN AND
20:51:41 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
20:51:43 AND ONE COMMENT FROM NATURAL RESOURCES.
20:51:46 OTHER THAN THAT, OVERALL THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND
20:51:50 COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE
20:51:53 PARKING WAIVER.
20:51:55 I'M AVAILABLE FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
20:51:58 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
20:51:59 I DO.
20:52:00 I'M GOING TO POSE TO YOU THE QUESTION I GAVE YOU IN PRIVATE
20:52:02 JUST FOR THE RECORD.
20:52:04 SO THE USE OF THIS, JUST TO CONFIRM, BECAUSE, AGAIN, THERE
20:52:07 WERE SOME ISSUES THAT WERE DISCUSSED BEFORE, THIS USE, JUST
20:52:12 TO MAKE SURE SO MY CONSTITUENTS KNOW, THIS WILL NOT GO TO
20:52:16 COMMERCIAL, CORRECT?
20:52:17 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NO, SIR.
20:52:18 WITH THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS WITH ANY PLANNED
20:52:20 DEVELOPMENT, THE SITE PLAN ITSELF CONTROLS THE SITE, AND ALL
20:52:24 OF THE USES MUST BE LISTED ON THE SITE PLAN.
20:52:27 NO ADDITIONAL USES CAN BE ADDED TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
20:52:30 WITHOUT AMENDING THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
20:52:32 AND THE ONLY WAY TO AMEND IT TO ADD A USE IS TO COME BACK
20:52:35 THROUGH CITY COUNCIL THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
20:52:37 FOR THIS SPECIFIC SITE, THE ONLY ALLOWABLE USES THAT WERE
20:52:41 ADVERTISED AND ARE PROPOSED AND WILL BE ON THE SITE PLAN ARE
20:52:44 A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY AND A DAY CARE.
20:52:47 THE DAY CARE CANNOT OPERATE AS STAND-ALONE BUSINESS.
20:52:52 AND MUST OPERATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH PLACE OF RELIGIOUS
20:52:55 ASSEMBLY.
20:52:57 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:53:00 PETITIONER.
20:53:01 >> RYAN McCAFFREY WITH HAMILTON ENGINEERING, REPRESENTING
20:53:05 APPLICANT.
20:53:06 3409 WEST LEMON STREET, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33609.
20:53:11 I WILL BE BRIEF AS MARY COVERED EVERYTHING THAT I WAS GOING
20:53:14 TO GO OVER.
20:53:16 I JUST WANT TO TALK A LITTLE FURTHER ON THE WAIVER.
20:53:18 WE ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 63 PARKING SPACES.
20:53:22 SO THE PARKING FOR THE DAY CARE FACILITY TOTALS UP TO 13
20:53:26 REQUIRED PARKING SPACES.
20:53:28 THOSE 13 PARKING SPACES WILL LIKELY BE OPERATED BETWEEN 6:30
20:53:33 IN THE MORNING AND 6:30 P.M. FOR THE DAY CARE OPERATIONS OF
20:53:36 THE FACILITY MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
20:53:38 AND THE CHURCH IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE 48 PARKING SPACES,
20:53:41 WHICH WOULD OPERATE FROM 7 TO 8 P.M. ON THURSDAYS AND TEN TO
20:53:50 NOON ON SUNDAY.
20:53:51 NO OVERLAPPING TIME FRAME FOR WHEN THE PARKING SPACES WOULD
20:53:54 BE OPERATED THAT WOULD REQUIRE ALL 63 SPACES TO BE USED AT
20:53:57 ANY TIME.
20:53:58 THIS IS WHY WE'RE REQUESTING THE WAIVER TO REDUCE PARKING TO
20:54:01 THE EXISTING 50 SPACES.
20:54:02 WE DID MEET WITH TAMPA PALMS OWNERS ASSOCIATION.
20:54:06 MAGGIE WILSON THIS AFTERNOON, A BOARD MEMBER, AND THEN
20:54:09 WARREN DIXON WAS HERE.
20:54:11 HE IS THE BUSINESS CONSULTANT FOR THE TAMPA PALMS HOMEOWNERS
20:54:14 ASSOCIATION.
20:54:15 HIS CONCERN WAS REGARDING THE CU ZONING TO PD.
20:54:20 IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT MARY CLARIFIED THAT BEFORE THIS,
20:54:23 AND THAT'S WHY HE IS NO LONGER HERE TO SPEAK OUT IN
20:54:28 OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING, NOT CHANGE IN USE.
20:54:31 MY UNDERSTANDING THAT TAMPA PALMS HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION IS
20:54:33 IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUESTED USE CHANGE.
20:54:35 IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I AM HERE AND SO IS THE
20:54:38 APPLICANT AND OWNER.
20:54:40 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
20:54:41 ANY QUESTIONS?
20:54:46 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
20:54:47 THERE ARE SOMETIMES INVOLVED PICK UP AND DROP-OFF WITH THE
20:54:53 CHILDREN.
20:54:54 I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE AN EXTRA LONG DRIVEWAY THAT WILL
20:54:59 PROBABLY ACCOMMODATE THE DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP OF
20:55:02 CHILDREN.
20:55:03 HOW LONG IS THAT DRIVEWAY?
20:55:04 MY POINT BEING IS THERE'S NOT ANY PROPOSED BACKING UP GOING
20:55:14 TO BE ON TAMPA PALMS BOULEVARD.
20:55:19 >> I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
20:55:20 I BELIEVE WE DEMONSTRATED STACKING REQUIREMENTS WITH THE
20:55:22 TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AS A PART OF OUR APPLICATION.
20:55:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU.
20:55:25 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
20:55:26 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN.
20:55:27 ANYONE ELSE?
20:55:28 THANK YOU, SIR.
20:55:29 MARY, IF YOU WISH TO --
20:55:34 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
20:55:35 TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SIR, I CAN STATE IT'S ON THE SITE
20:55:38 PLAN.
20:55:39 FROM THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING TO THE CLOSEST TAMPA PALMS
20:55:42 BOULEVARD IS 187 FEET.
20:55:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE A LOT OF PARENTS
20:55:49 PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF THEIR PARENTS.
20:55:52 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
20:55:53 ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 9?
20:56:02 >> GOOD EVENING.
20:56:02 MY NAME IS ROBERT ZICHT.
20:56:05 I LIVE AT 15926 FARRINGHAM DRIVE.
20:56:07 I BACK UP DIRECTLY TO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
20:56:09 I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY HERE'S AGO WITH THE INTENTION THAT I
20:56:13 KNEW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DID OWN IT, AND IT WAS SINCE SOLD
20:56:17 AT THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
20:56:20 I HAVE NO OBJECTION FOR THE RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE
20:56:23 PROPERTY, BUT I DO HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THE USE OF A DAY
20:56:27 CARE.
20:56:27 THREE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS IS POTENTIALLY THE
20:56:31 NOISE.
20:56:32 I'M SELFISH.
20:56:34 MY DAUGHTER WORKS NIGHTS.
20:56:35 THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WORK NIGHTS.
20:56:38 WHEN WE HAVE A DROP-OFF FROM 6:30 IN THE MORNING UNTIL 6:30
20:56:41 IN THE EVENING, OBVIOUSLY, 6:30 IN THE MORNING WOULD
20:56:45 POTENTIALLY WAKE UP PEOPLE.
20:56:47 IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THE TRASH TRUCKS COME IN THERE AT 5:30
20:56:51 IN THE MORNING AND POUND THEIR TRUCKS TO EMPTY THE TRASH.
20:56:56 MY SECOND CONCERN IS THE PROPERTY VALUES OF MY HOUSE AND
20:57:01 POTENTIALLY OTHER HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:57:02 AGAIN, I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT SELFISH BECAUSE I DO BACK UP TO
20:57:06 THE PROPERTY.
20:57:07 THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD NEIGHBORS.
20:57:08 THE KIDS COME OUT THERE AND PLAY FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY AND
20:57:11 SUNDAY, AND THEY HAVE ACTIVITIES, BUT HAVING ACTIVITIES
20:57:13 THERE ON A DAILY BASIS, I DO HAVE OBJECTION FOR MYSELF AND
20:57:18 OTHER PEOPLE IN MY PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:57:20 LASTLY, THE TRAFFIC, HAVING PEOPLE COME IN AT 6:30, THAT'S
20:57:27 DARK, IF WE'RE HAVING PEOPLE PICK UP THEIR CHILDREN AT 6:30,
20:57:31 THAT'S DARK.
20:57:32 I THINK THAT'S A TRAFFIC CONCERN.
20:57:34 I SEE NO MENTION OF ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES THAT SAY HOW MANY
20:57:37 CARS OR HOW MANY FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE DROPPING THEIR
20:57:39 CHILDREN THERE ON A DAILY BASIS.
20:57:44 THIS EVENING, I THINK THE BIGGEST WORD I HEARD IS THIS
20:57:50 PROPERTY COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
20:57:52 THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD.
20:57:54 THIS IS NOT A DAY CARE.
20:57:57 THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
20:57:58 WE HAVE FAMILIES IN THOSE AREAS.
20:58:00 WE HAVE YOUNG KIDS THAT ARE DRIVING CARS THAT HAVE TO WORRY
20:58:03 ABOUT THOSE OTHER EXTRA, I'M GOING TO SAY 50 OR 75 CARS.
20:58:08 THERE'S NO MENTION OF THE VOLUME OF INDIVIDUALS.
20:58:11 I'M AN EDUCATOR MYSELF.
20:58:13 37 YEARS IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
20:58:15 I SEE THAT TRAFFIC ON TAMPA PALMS ALONE WITH THOSE CARS
20:58:20 BACKED UP TOTALLY.
20:58:22 THEY ARE BACKED UP FROM TAMPA PALMS BOULEVARD ALL THE WAY UP
20:58:24 TO WHERE I LIVE ON FARRINGHAM DRIVE.
20:58:28 I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE APPROVED.
20:58:32 I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE ZONING CHANGE.
20:58:35 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
20:58:37 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
20:58:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SIR, I'M CURIOUS OF WHERE YOUR HOME IS AS
20:58:43 RELATED TO THE PROPERTY.
20:58:45 >> IF YOU WANT TO SHOW ME THE MAP, I'LL SHOW YOU DIRECTLY ON
20:58:51 THE MAP.
20:58:52 BEEN A WHILE SINCE I TAUGHT.
20:58:58 I'M A GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.
20:58:59 ALL THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS KIND OF NEAT.
20:59:01 MY HOUSE IS RIGHT HERE.
20:59:03 AND THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
20:59:05 MY MAJOR CONCERNS ARE THERE'S A LOT OF HOUSES THAT COME OUT
20:59:10 OF THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
20:59:12 THERE ARE PEOPLE VACATING THIS AREA AND GOING OUT TOWARDS
20:59:16 TAMPA PALMS BOULEVARD.
20:59:18 ALSO THIS AREA, WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS INGRESS
20:59:23 COMING INTO THE CHURCH PROPERTY WITH THE DAY CARE.
20:59:26 BUT MY HOUSE IS THIS LOCATION HERE.
20:59:29 I BACK UP TO THE PROPERTY HERE.
20:59:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT SORT OF BUFFER, WALL, FENCE,
20:59:39 ET CETERA, IS THERE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BACKYARD AND THE
20:59:43 CHURCH PROPERTY THERE?
20:59:45 >> THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
20:59:46 WE WERE TOLD WHEN WE MOVED IN THERE THAT -- WHEN I GOT
20:59:49 THERE, IT WAS EMPTY, THE LOT.
20:59:52 WHEN WE WERE TOLD WHEN WE BOUGHT INTO TAMPA PALMS, IF
20:59:55 ANYTHING WENT INTO THAT AREA, THERE WOULD BE A BRICK
20:59:59 ABUTMENT FOR THE LENGTH OF THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY LINE.
21:00:03 RIGHT NOW, THERE'S PROBABLY 10 OR 12-FOOT VIBURNUM BUSHES
21:00:09 THAT ARE A BUFFER BETWEEN OUR PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTY IN
21:00:13 QUESTION.
21:00:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A FENCE AND/OR PVC
21:00:19 FENCE AND/OR WALL WOULD HELP BUFFER SOME OF THE NOISE THAT
21:00:23 YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT?
21:00:24 >> I CAN ONLY BE HONEST.
21:00:26 I DO NOT THINK PVC FENCE WOULD, JUST BECAUSE OF THE NOISE.
21:00:31 I WOULD THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE ATTITUDE OF A BRICK
21:00:34 WALL THAT THEY HAVE IN SOME OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE
21:00:37 IN THE TAMPA PALMS AREA.
21:00:41 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:00:43 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AND GIVING YOUR
21:00:45 TESTIMONY TONIGHT.
21:00:46 YOU CAN KEEP THAT UP THERE, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
21:00:49 CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FROM YOUR BUILDING, YOUR HOME,
21:00:54 THE DISTANCE TO THE BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY, ON THE
21:00:59 APPLICANT'S PROPERTY.
21:01:02 >> ABOUT A NINE IRON.
21:01:03 ONLY ABOUT A HUNDRED YARDS AT THE MOST.
21:01:08 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I HIT MINE 140.
21:01:11 >> YOU DO MUCH BETTER THAN I DO.
21:01:12 WHEN THAT WAS A VACANT FIELD, THE KIDS WOULD GO OUT THERE
21:01:15 AND PLAY FOOTBALL, HIT GOLF BALLS, BUT NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE
21:01:19 FROM MY BACKYARD TO THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
21:01:21 I USED TO AIM FROM MY HOUSE HERE TO THE POWER LINE SO I
21:01:34 COULD GO PICK UP MY GOLF BALLS.
21:01:36 WE'RE DEFINITELY TALKING PROBABLY FROM THE BACK OF MY
21:01:42 PROPERTY, PROBABLY LESS THAN 50 YARDS TO WHERE THE CHURCH
21:01:46 IS.
21:01:47 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:01:54 >>LUIS VIERA: GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
21:01:56 >> HI.
21:01:57 ALGONDA CARRIS, ALSO A NEIGHBOR.
21:02:02 MY PROPERTY IS 15928 AT FARRINGHAM DRIVE.
21:02:07 I'M ALSO BORDERING ON THE BACKYARD TO THE CHURCH.
21:02:13 AND WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE, WE SAID, OKAY, A CHURCH.
21:02:17 THAT'S OKAY.
21:02:18 THAT'S FINE.
21:02:19 WE BOUGHT IT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE REASON THAT WE HAD A VIEW,
21:02:22 A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A VIEW.
21:02:24 ANYWAY, A CHURCH IS FINE.
21:02:27 A DAY CARE, I DO NOT THINK THAT WE NEED ANOTHER DAY CARE.
21:02:32 WE HAVE GOT FIVE DAY CARES IN A THREE- TO FIVE-MILE RADIUS.
21:02:37 SO WE HAVE A LOT OF DAY CARES ALREADY IN OUR AREA.
21:02:40 NEXT TO -- AND THAT'S MY OPINION.
21:02:47 MAYBE IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
21:02:49 ONCE YOU DECIDE OKAY REZONING IS ALLOWED, MAYBE A BUILDING
21:02:53 MIGHT GO UP FOR THE DAY CARE TO FACILITATE, BECAUSE IN MY
21:02:58 VIEW, AND I'VE BEEN IN THE CHURCH MANY TIMES, THE CHURCH IS
21:03:01 NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HOST A REAL QUALITY DAY CARE.
21:03:05 IT'S NOT AT ALL BIG ENOUGH.
21:03:07 IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FACILITIES IN THE CHURCH FOR A DAY CARE.
21:03:11 SO I THINK THEY SHOULD BUILD A DIFFERENT BUILDING FOR A DAY
21:03:16 CARE, IF THEY WANT TO.
21:03:18 HOWEVER, OUR TAMPA PALMS ASSOCIATION, IN MY VIEW, I SPOKE
21:03:24 WITH BONNIE AND WITH MAGGIE, THAT THEY DO NOT APPROVE IT
21:03:28 UNLESS IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL CHRISTIAN VALUE INSIDE THE
21:03:35 BUILDING.
21:03:36 BUT, AGAIN, I OBJECT.
21:03:37 I OPPOSE TO THIS PLAN BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY CAN
21:03:41 BUILD A QUALITY DAY CARE IN THE CHURCH, AND IT MIGHT BECOME
21:03:45 A SLIPPERY SLOPE FOR REZONING IT IN DIFFERENT PLACE.
21:03:48 THAT'S IT.
21:03:49 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
21:03:51 ANYONE ELSE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 9?
21:03:56 OKAY.
21:03:57 APPLICANT, IF YOU WISH TO HAVE ANY REBUTTAL.
21:04:03 >> WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAFFIC, WE DID MEET WITH THE STAFF
21:04:09 AND AT THE PRE-APPLICATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE
21:04:11 TRAFFIC FOR THE NUMBER OF DAY CARE CHILDREN THAT THERE WAS
21:04:17 NOT A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS REQUIRED.
21:04:19 WE HAD A DE MINIMIS DETERMINATION AT THE PRE-APPLICATION.
21:04:24 WE DO PROVIDE A TEN-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE SITE PLAN
21:04:30 ALONG THE WESTERN PROPERTY LINE.
21:04:32 IT DOES SOUND LIKE IT'S ALREADY PRETTY GROWN UP.
21:04:36 AND THEN ANY SUBSEQUENT USES WOULD REQUIRE TO GO THROUGH
21:04:39 THIS PROCESS AGAIN, AND WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE
21:04:42 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CITY LAND DEVELOPMENT
21:04:44 REGULATIONS.
21:04:45 AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
21:04:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORT, AND YOU
21:04:56 MIGHT HAVE SAID THIS ALREADY.
21:05:00 ARE YOU SELF-LIMITING IN REGARD TO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS?
21:05:05 IS THAT PART OF YOUR APPLICATION?
21:05:08 >> YES, THE PARKING COUNTS ARE BASED ON A NUMBER OF DAY CARE
21:05:14 CHILDREN, SO WE HAVE -- WE ARE LISTED AS 50, MAXIMUM 50 DAY
21:05:20 CARE CHILDREN.
21:05:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A
21:05:29 LANDSCAPE BUFFER THERE.
21:05:31 YOU'VE HEARD SOME OBJECTIONS FROM SOME IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS
21:05:35 WHO INDICATE PERHAPS THEY ARE GOING TO BE WITHIN A HUNDRED
21:05:39 FEET OR SO OF YOUR PICKUP AND DROP-OFF LOCATION.
21:05:43 THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT NOISE.
21:05:45 ALSO, I DON'T SEE ANY PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SHOWN HERE.
21:05:49 THAT'S PROBABLY NOT REQUIRED TO BE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN,
21:05:52 BUT I KNOW THAT IF I WAS A NEIGHBOR, AND I WAS CONCERNED
21:05:57 ABOUT NOISE FOR 50 CHILDREN, I'D WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE
21:06:03 PLAYGROUND WAS GOING TO GO.
21:06:05 >> I'M GOING TO DEFER TO PASTOR FIN.
21:06:10 IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE
21:06:13 PROPERTY, THERE IS A FENCED IN AREA WHICH WOULD BE ON THE
21:06:16 OPPOSITE SIDE.
21:06:17 THAT'S WHERE THEY ALREADY HOST CHURCH ACTIVITIES.
21:06:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO POINT TO IT ON THE
21:06:26 OVERHEAD?
21:06:29 >> HERE'S THE SITE PLAN.
21:06:30 THAT WOULD BE THIS AREA RIGHT HERE.
21:06:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: PASTOR, DID YOU WANT TO TESTIFY ON THAT?
21:06:42 >> SVEN WILBIKIN.
21:06:45 AS HE SAID, THAT'S WHERE THE PLAYGROUND WOULD BE.
21:06:47 WE START WITH NINE PEOPLE.
21:06:48 WE HAVE ABOUT 60 TO 80 ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
21:06:51 THIS PRESCHOOL IS FOR OUR CHURCH FAMILY STARTING OUT.
21:06:56 THE MAX IT CAN BE IS 50.
21:06:59 IT'S STARTING WITH ABOUT FIVE.
21:07:02 IT'S GOING TO BE A SLOW GROWTH.
21:07:03 AND IT IS TO SERVE OUR MEMBERS.
21:07:05 THERE ARE OTHER PRESCHOOLS IN THE AREA BUT THIS WILL BE A
21:07:08 FAITH-BASED PRESCHOOL FOR OUR CHURCH MEMBERS.
21:07:11 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WOULD YOU CONSIDER ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS,
21:07:17 WOULD YOU CONSIDER ANY TYPE OF FENCING ALONG THAT SIDE WHERE
21:07:22 THESE FOLKS LIVE TO HELP BUFFER ANY NOISE?
21:07:25 >> YES.
21:07:26 WE WOULD CONSIDER THAT.
21:07:32 >>LUIS VIERA: MR. SHELBY.
21:07:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS ENFORCEABLE AND
21:07:38 WHETHER IT IS GOING TO BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN.
21:07:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT WAS KIND OF IMPLICIT -- WHERE I WAS
21:07:44 HEADED --
21:07:45 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOTHING CAN BE IMPLICIT.
21:07:47 EVERYTHING MUST BE EXPLICIT.
21:07:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS IT WAS EXPLICIT THAT THE NEXT
21:07:51 THING COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE SITE
21:07:54 PLAN IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.
21:07:56 WE'RE IN AGREEMENT, MR. SHELBY.
21:07:57 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IN REGARD TO MATERIAL AND PLACEMENT AND YOU
21:08:00 MAY WANT TO DISCUSS THAT WITH STAFF, JUST SO IT'S CLEAR FOR
21:08:04 THE RECORD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IF, AGAIN, IT IS
21:08:07 SOMETHING PETITIONER AGREES.
21:08:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T WANT TO DESIGN IT FOR THEM, BUT I
21:08:15 THINK THEY'VE HEARD THE CONCERNS.
21:08:17 >> WELL, I DID HEAR THE CONCERN.
21:08:19 IF YOU'RE TELLING ME WE HAVE TO BUILD A BRICK FENCE, THAT
21:08:23 WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US.
21:08:24 I DON'T THINK WE COULD AFFORD IT, FRANKLY.
21:08:26 IF YOU'RE TALKING A CHAIN-LINK FENCE IS NOT GOING TO STOP
21:08:32 NOISE.
21:08:33 BUT WE COULD DO A WOOD OR A PVC FENCE.
21:08:36 THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD CONSIDER.
21:08:38 >> I BELIEVE WE'D ALSO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE TAMPA PALMS
21:08:41 OWNER ASSOCIATION DESIGN GUIDELINES AS WELL.
21:08:44 WE'D HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM THEM.
21:08:50 >>CATE WELLS: WITH REGARD TO THE FENCE, IT'S NOT REQUIRED BY
21:08:53 CODE, UNLESS THEY WERE WILLING TO PUT IT ON THERE, BUT IF
21:08:58 YOU'RE GOING TO INCLUDE THAT AS A CONDITION OF YOUR
21:09:00 APPROVAL, YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
21:09:03 IMPACT OF THE DAY CARE CENTER AND THAT ADDITIONAL CONDITION.
21:09:07 THANK YOU.
21:09:11 >> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REITERATE -- I MEAN, DOING THAT NOW
21:09:14 DOES POSE A CHALLENGE FOR OUR CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE NUMBERS
21:09:18 THAT WE'RE STARTING WITH.
21:09:21 AGAIN, THE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE -- WE SHOWED YOU
21:09:25 WHERE THE KIDS WILL BE.
21:09:26 AND WE'RE LOOKING AT LIKE FIVE TO TEN KIDS.
21:09:29 IF WE START WITH FIVE OR TEN KIDS -- IF YOU'RE TELLING US
21:09:34 THAT WE NEED TO PUT A FENCE IN, WE WILL PUT IN A FENCE.
21:09:38 IF YOU'RE TELLING US -- IF YOU COULD GIVE US SOME TIME TO DO
21:09:41 THAT, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
21:09:42 I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU DO IT IN THESE PROCEEDINGS.
21:09:45 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
21:09:46 >> WE'D LIKE TO REQUEST APPROVAL WITH THE EXISTING BUFFERS.
21:10:05 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WOULD SAY AT A MINIMUM, SINCE THEY ARE
21:10:07 THE ONES WHO VOLUNTEERED IT, THAT THEY SHOULD SHOW THE
21:10:11 PLAYGROUND ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
21:10:16 READING, UNLESS COUNCIL HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
21:10:19 IN REGARD TO THE FENCE IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE NOT
21:10:28 NECESSARILY OFFERING IT.
21:10:31 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN CITRO, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION,
21:10:33 SIR?
21:10:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
21:10:38 PETITIONER, PLEASE, IF I COULD, PASTOR.
21:10:41 THIS TEN-FOOT SHRUBS THAT YOU HAVE, ARE THEY ON YOUR
21:10:48 PROPERTY LINE?
21:10:52 >> ACTUALLY, I DO NOT KNOW.
21:10:53 WHEN WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, THE HEDGE WAS ALREADY THERE.
21:10:56 I WOULD ASSUME THE HEDGE IS ON OUR PROPERTY.
21:11:06 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: WHEN THE PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY OR
21:11:09 CHURCH WAS BUILT IN 2006, GROUP B USE, THE CODE REQUIRES A
21:11:12 GROUP B USE UP AGAINST HOUSES TO HAVE A TEN-FOOT LANDSCAPE
21:11:16 BUFFER.
21:11:16 TEN-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER YOU CAN SEE WAS PLANTED FOR THIS
21:11:19 ENTIRE DISTANCE.
21:11:20 THIS DISTANCE IS 500 FEET.
21:11:24 SO THE ADDITION OF A DAY CARE USE IS ALSO BEING USED SO THAT
21:11:27 IT REQUIRES THAT TEN-FOOT BUFFER WHICH IS ON THE SUBJECT
21:11:30 PROPERTY TO REMAIN.
21:11:34 >>JOSEPH CITRO: IF YOU WALL WAS TO BE CONSTRUCTED THEY WOULD
21:11:38 HAVE TO TEAR OUT THE PLANTING TO PUT THE WALL ON THE
21:11:41 PROPERTY LINE.
21:11:43 THANK YOU, MARY.
21:11:46 >>LUIS VIERA: WOULD THE SHRUBBERY NEED TO BE TORN OUT FOR A
21:11:49 FENCE?
21:11:50 A WALL, YES, BUT A FENCE?
21:11:54 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: TEN-FOOT BUFFER GOES UP TO THE PROPERTY
21:11:57 LINE.
21:11:57 >>LUIS VIERA: IN OTHER WORDS, IF A FENCE WERE TO BE PUT IN,
21:12:00 WOULD THAT HAVE TO TEAR DOWN THE SHRUBBERY, IF YOU WILL.
21:12:05 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES.
21:12:06 IT IS A SOLID HIGH SHRUB.
21:12:08 YOU COULDN'T GET THROUGH IT.
21:12:10 PUT THE FENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TEN-FOOT BUFFER, BUT
21:12:13 THEN YOU HAVE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE FOR THE LANDSCAPING.
21:12:17 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
21:12:18 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
21:12:22 >>LUIS VIERA: OKAY.
21:12:23 ANYTHING TO THE APPLICANT?
21:12:31 >> WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST APPROVAL BASED ON PROVIDING THE
21:12:34 TEN-FOOT BUFFER, AND WE CAN GLADLY SHOW MORE INFORMATION AS
21:12:38 TO THE CHILD-CARE FACILITY -- OR THE PLAYGROUND FACILITIES
21:12:43 ON THE EASTERN SIDE.
21:12:45 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.

21:12:48 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
21:12:50 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.

21:14:47 MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
21:14:47 COORDINATION.
21:14:48 ITEM NUMBER 10 IS REZ 20-07.
21:14:51 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 302 AND 306 NORTH HOWARD AVENUE FROM CG
21:14:57 AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR MEDICAL
21:15:00 OFFICE AND BUSINESS/PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
21:15:07 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
21:15:08 COMMISSION STAFF.
21:15:09 WE'RE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, WEST TAMPA
21:15:11 URBAN VILLAGE, MORE SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE NORTH HYDE PARK
21:15:14 NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:15:15 THERE IS A BUS STOP ABOUT THREE MONTHS TO THE SORT AT THE
21:15:18 INTERSECTION OF NORTH HOWARD AVENUE AND WEST CARMEN STREET.
21:15:21 THE VILA BROTHERS PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION
21:15:25 FACILITY.
21:15:25 LEVEL D EVACUATION ZONE.
21:15:27 THE SUBJECT SITE HERE IS OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE.
21:15:33 IT IS LOCATED ALONG NORTH HOWARD AVENUE, WEST -- THIS IS
21:15:38 NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE.
21:15:40 THIS IS THE BRYAN GLAZER JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER TO THE
21:15:45 NORTH, AND THERE IS A FUNERAL HOME DIRECTLY ACROSS THE
21:15:49 STREET.
21:15:50 PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL USES ALONG NORTH HOWARD AVENUE
21:15:54 WHICH THEN TRANSITION TO THE RESIDENTIAL USES AS WE MOVE
21:15:57 AWAY FROM NORTH HOWARD AVENUE, WHICH IS REFLECTED ON OUR
21:16:01 FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
21:16:02 THE SUBJECT SITE IS DESIGNATED COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
21:16:06 THAT'S THAT PINK COLOR ALONG NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
21:16:09 SAME DESIGNATION TO THE NORTH AS BRYAN GLAZER COMMUNITY
21:16:14 CENTER.
21:16:15 RESIDENTIAL 20 IS THIS BROWN COLOR.
21:16:19 THEN WE HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL 10 TO THE NORTH.
21:16:22 THAT IS THE ORANGE.
21:16:23 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:16:26 IT IS CONSISTENT, ALSO WITH OUR POLICIES AS IT RELATES TO
21:16:31 MIXED-USE CORRIDORS.
21:16:33 WE DID FIND THAT THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IS PROVIDING A
21:16:36 PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WITH PARKING
21:16:40 LOCATED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
21:16:43 THEY ARE ALSO PROVIDING A FRONT ENTRANCE ALONG NORTH HOWARD
21:16:45 AVENUE, PROVIDING PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND CONNECTING IT TO THE
21:16:49 SIDEWALK WHICH IS WELL IN LINE AND VERY CONSISTENT WITH OUR
21:16:52 POLICY DIRECTION FOR THE MIXED USE CORRIDORS.
21:16:54 SO IN SHORT, WE DO FIND THAT THIS REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY OF
21:16:59 THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT IS CONSISTENT
21:17:01 WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE COMMUNITY
21:17:04 MIXED USE-35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
21:17:06 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
21:17:08 THANK YOU.
21:17:14 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
21:17:16 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
21:17:16 AS I STATED, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A PLANNED
21:17:25 DEVELOPMENT THAT'S SPANNING TWO SEPARATE PROPERTIES FOR
21:17:28 MEDICAL OFFICE AND BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
21:17:30 NORTHERN PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED PD AND THE SOUTHERN
21:17:33 PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY IN THE CG ZONING DISTRICT THAT
21:17:36 TYPICALLY RUNS FOR NONRESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL RETAIL OFFICE
21:17:40 USES UP AND DOWN NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
21:17:43 HERE IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM HOWARD AVENUE.
21:17:45 CURRENTLY MAINLY OPERATED AS A DAY CARE.
21:17:49 THAT'S THE OTHER PART OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY THAT WILL
21:17:52 RETAIN THE PARKING LOT.
21:17:55 TO THE EAST IS A -- AN OFFICE USE, AND THEN OTHER SMALL
21:18:00 OFFICE USES, TYPICALLY AT A RESIDENTIAL SCALE.
21:18:06 AND THEN THIS IS A MULTIFAMILY DWELLING DIRECTLY TO THE
21:18:08 NORTH.
21:18:09 I'LL GO TO THE SITE PLAN.
21:18:16 THIS IS WHAT THE APPLICANT -- MOVE IT UP A LITTLE BIT -- IS
21:18:21 PROPOSING.
21:18:21 TWO-STORY OFFICE BUILDING.
21:18:24 AGAIN, WITH A MIX OF MEDICAL OFFICE AND BUSINESS
21:18:27 PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
21:18:30 MIXED STATED ON THE SITE PLAN AS WELL AS IN THE STAFF
21:18:33 REPORT.
21:18:34 ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THE BUILDING CAN BE USED FOR
21:18:37 MEDICAL OFFICE BECAUSE THE PARKING CRITERIA IS SO HIGH.
21:18:40 THEY'VE AGREED TO THAT AND NOTED ON THE SITE PLAN.
21:18:44 THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE 6,730 SQUARE
21:18:49 FEET MAXIMUM, AGAIN, TWO-STORY.
21:18:52 THE PROPOSED SETBACKS ARE TO THE NORTH TWO FEET, SOUTH FIVE
21:18:56 FEET, WEST 30 FEET, AND EAST FIVE FEET.
21:19:00 YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOWARD AVENUE
21:19:06 AND NORTH B STREET.
21:19:08 HERE IS THE BUILDING.
21:19:10 THERE WOULD BE AN ALLEYWAY THAT WILL BE PAVED WITHIN THE
21:19:13 PROPERTY LIMITS, AND THEN PROPERTY, ADDITIONALLY PARKING TO
21:19:17 THE NORTH.
21:19:19 BECAUSE OF A GRAND TREE ON-SITE IN THIS LOCATION, THE
21:19:30 APPLICANT HAS ELECTED TO DO PERVIOUS PAVERS FOR THE PARKING
21:19:36 SPACES THAT WILL COMPLY WITH THE PROTECTED RADIUS THAT HAS
21:19:40 BEEN REVIEWED AND SIGNED OFF ON BY OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
21:19:43 DEPARTMENT.
21:19:44 AS FAR AS WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED WITH THIS
21:19:56 APPLICATION, THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
21:20:03 THERE ARE FIVE WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED.
21:20:05 ONE INCREASE THE SIZE FOR THE EASTERN BUILDING SIGNAGE TO
21:20:10 INCREASE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF ALLOWABLE SIGNAGE FROM 25
21:20:13 SQUARE FEET TO 45 SQUARE FEET AND ALSO INCREASE THE TEXT
21:20:17 HEIGHT.
21:20:18 PARKING REDUCTION OF 22% FROM 36 SPACES TO 28% -- 28 SPACES.
21:20:25 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THAT PARKING WAIVER REDUCTION
21:20:27 INCONSISTENT TO ALLOW COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE TRAFFIC TO
21:20:31 ACCESS A LOCAL ROAD, NORTH B STREET THROUGH THE ALLEYWAY, AS
21:20:37 WELL AS THE ALLEYWAY, THIS IS A LOCAL STREET.
21:20:39 SO THAT REQUIRES A WAIVER.
21:20:42 AND A WAIVER FOR THE USE TO USE BUFFER IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS.
21:20:47 THERE'S SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY.
21:20:52 BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF TRYING TO GET AS MUCH PARKING
21:20:58 INTO THE PROPERTY AS POSSIBLE, BUFFER REDUCTIONS FROM
21:21:03 15 FEET IN THESE LOCATIONS DOWN TO 8 FEET.
21:21:07 BUT THEY ARE PROPOSING A COMPOSITE WELL AS WELL AS IN THESE
21:21:13 LOCATIONS HERE.
21:21:14 THE LAST WAIVER THAT'S BEING REQUESTED IS FOR THE VEHICLE
21:21:17 USE BUFFER.
21:21:19 TECHNICALLY, THEIRS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EIGHT-FOOT BUFFER
21:21:22 BETWEEN AN ALLEY AND PARKING SPACES.
21:21:24 AGAIN, IN AN ATTEMPT TO INCREASE PARKING AS WELL AS SOLID
21:21:27 WASTE PROVISION, VEHICLE USE BUFFER AREA REDUCTIONS FROM
21:21:32 EIGHT FEET DOWN TO SIX ALONG NORTH HOWARD AVENUE, EIGHT FEET
21:21:36 DOWN TO ZERO DOWN AT THE NORTH PARKING LOT.
21:21:39 TO THE ALLEY AND 8 TO SEVEN FEET AND FIVE FEET RESPECTIVELY
21:21:44 IN RELATIONSHIP TO NORTH B.
21:21:46 SEEING THAT THERE ARE REVISIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
21:21:51 READING RELATED TO THE LANGUAGE OF THE WAIVERS, AS I STATED,
21:21:55 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF THE
21:21:58 LOCAL STREET ACCESS AS WELL AS THE 22% PARKING REDUCTION.
21:22:03 NATURAL RESOURCES DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT BUT THEY DID HAVE
21:22:06 SOME REVISIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
21:22:08 OVERALL, THE CITY OF TAMPA DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE
21:22:12 STAFF DID FIND THIS INCONSISTENT, PRINCIPALLY BECAUSE OF THE
21:22:16 ACCESS TO THE LOCAL STREET AND THE PARKING REDUCTION.
21:22:19 DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR ME AT THIS TIME?
21:22:27 >>JOSEPH CITRO: WITH THE PARKING AREA TO THE NORTH ACROSS
21:22:29 THE ALLEY, IS THAT CONSIDERED OFF-SITE PARKING?
21:22:35 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: NO, SIR.
21:22:36 IT IS NOT.
21:22:39 AS FAR AS REQUIRING A SPECIAL USE APPROVAL -- NO, IT'S NOT
21:22:45 CONSIDERED OFF-SITE.
21:22:46 WHEN ONE COMES IN FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, YOU CAN HAVE
21:22:50 MULTIPLE PIECES OF PROPERTY, THEY CAN BE BISECTED OR
21:22:54 BIFURCATED BY A DRIVEWAY OR EVEN A ROAD, BUT IF IT COMES IN
21:22:58 AS ONE SITE PLAN THROUGH A PD, IT'S CONSIDERED ONE ZONING
21:23:02 LOT.
21:23:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT FOR ME.
21:23:05 THANK YOU.
21:23:08 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: ANYTHING ELSE?
21:23:18 >> COUNCIL MEMBERS.
21:23:19 JAKE CRAMER WITH STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER.
21:23:22 I'D LIKE TO GET STARTED WITH MY CLIENT TELLING YOU A LITTLE
21:23:26 BIT ABOUT HIS BUSINESS FIRST.
21:23:28 THANK YOU.
21:23:29 >> JIM McILWAIN.
21:23:34 I'M A PEDIATRIC DENTIST.
21:23:36 I ARRIVED IN TAMPA AND SET UP PRACTICE IN 1978.
21:23:40 OUR PRIMARY OFFICE IS RIGHT NEXT TO ST. JOE'S.
21:23:46 I'VE BEEN BLESSED OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE ADDED OTHER
21:23:53 PEDIATRIC DENTISTS, THREE GENERAL DENTISTS AND AN
21:24:00 ORTHODONTIST.
21:24:01 MOST OF THEM ARE HERE WITH ME TONIGHT.
21:24:03 THEY ARE JUST AS INTERESTED AS I AM.
21:24:05 WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVE SOUTH.
21:24:09 AND WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO CONTINUE THE
21:24:14 SERVICE AND THE GOOD QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP THAT WE'VE
21:24:18 CREATED OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS.
21:24:22 WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS, SO
21:24:25 IT'S A BIG JOB.
21:24:26 BUT I THINK WE'VE GOT A SUPER GROUP TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
21:24:31 THANKS FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.
21:24:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SITTING HERE ALL NIGHT IS WORSE THAN
21:24:37 HAVING YOUR TEETH PULLED, RIGHT?
21:24:39 [ LAUGHTER ]
21:24:41 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
21:24:42 >>BILL CARLSON: MARTY, CAN YOU ANSWER A CONFLICT QUESTION.
21:24:47 ALL THREE OF MY KIDS GO TO HIS DENTISTRY.
21:24:52 IS THAT A CONFLICT OR NOT?
21:24:55 >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAVE NO FINANCIAL STAKE PARTICULARLY IN
21:24:56 THE OUTCOME OF THE PETITION BEFORE YOU.
21:24:59 LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
21:25:04 DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL OR DOES THE
21:25:09 PERCEPTION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST PUT YOU IN A POSITION
21:25:12 WHERE YOU FEEL IT WOULD BE BEST THAT YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE
21:25:16 AND ABSTAIN?
21:25:17 >>BILL CARLSON: I'M OKAY, AS LONG AS THERE'S NO ETHICAL RULE
21:25:20 AGAINST IT.
21:25:21 >>MARTIN SHELBY: NO, I DON'T SEE ANY, BASED ON MY
21:25:24 PROFESSIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACTS, YOU DO NOT HAVE
21:25:27 WHAT RISES TO THE LEVEL OF A VOTING CONFLICT, ASSUMING THAT
21:25:33 YOU CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND DO NOT LET THAT IMPACT
21:25:37 YOUR DECISION IN A QUASI-JUDICIAL SETTING.
21:25:54 >> JAKE CRAMER AGAIN FOR THE RECORD.
21:25:56 ALSO A CLIENT.
21:26:00 [ LAUGHTER ]
21:26:01 IT'S GETTING LATE, SO I WON'T BELABOR ALL OF THIS
21:26:07 PRESENTATION.
21:26:07 THE GENERAL LOCATION, WE'RE IN AN URBAN VILLAGE.
21:26:11 WE'RE IN THE AREAS WHERE COUNCIL IS TRYING TO GET DENSITY.
21:26:14 LOOKING FOR MIXED USES.
21:26:16 THIS IS A GREAT LOCATION FOR IT.
21:26:18 WE'RE ON NORTH B AND HOWARD.
21:26:22 AGAIN, WE'VE HEARD ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY MIXED USE POLICY.
21:26:26 THESE POLICIES ARE REALLY ENCOURAGING TRUE MIXED USE
21:26:30 REDEVELOPMENT.
21:26:32 THEY ARE ENCOURAGING PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED USES, BUILDING
21:26:35 FACADES THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE AND FACING THE STREET.
21:26:39 AND, LOOK, YOU'RE STARTING TO GET IT ALONG NORTH HOWARD.
21:26:42 THIS STRETCH OF HOWARD DOES GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BAD RAP,
21:26:47 BUT IT IS TRANSITIONING.
21:26:48 HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES AND WE'RE HOPING TO CONTRIBUTE TO
21:26:54 THAT.
21:26:54 THIS IS THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING.
21:26:59 WE WORKED PRETTY EXTENSIVELY WITH THE COMMUNITY ON THIS.
21:27:04 WE HAD MEETINGS WITH NORTH HYDE PARK ASSOCIATION.
21:27:08 THEY SUBMITTED A LETTER IN SUPPORT.
21:27:10 MY CLIENT APPEARED BEFORE THE WEST TAMPA CRA.
21:27:14 THEY DIDN'T TAKE AN OFFICIAL POSITION BUT GOT VERY POSITIVE
21:27:17 FEEDBACK THERE AND INFORMATION ON APPLYING FOR A FACADE
21:27:20 GRANT.
21:27:21 I'M NOT SURE THAT I'VE EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, BUT MY
21:27:24 CLIENTS KNOCKED ON DOORS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MEET THEIR
21:27:29 HOPEFULLY FUTURE CLIENTS.
21:27:30 AND, IN FACT, THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB, THEY HAVE A NEW
21:27:33 CLIENT WHO IS GOING TO THEIR OFFICE NOW IN ANTICIPATION OF
21:27:36 THEM COMING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:27:38 WE ARE REQUESTING SEVERAL WAIVERS.
21:27:44 THIS IS A TIGHT SITE.
21:27:45 WE'VE ONLY GOT A HUNDRED FEET OF DEPTH.
21:27:47 WE EXPLORED A NUMBER OF OPTIONS.
21:27:52 CHRIS IS OUR ENGINEER WITH AURORA.
21:27:55 WE LOOKED AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
21:27:57 SOME OF THE PARKING IS GOING TO BE UNDER THE BUILDING.
21:27:59 SOME OF THE PARKING, AGAIN, UNDER THE BUILDING.
21:28:05 WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES ON THE FRONT AND REAR.
21:28:08 WE'VE GOT AN OVERHANG TO COMPLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY,
21:28:16 SO REACTIVATE THE STREET, GIVE THE PEDESTRIANS A LITTLE BIT
21:28:19 OF SHADE COVER, BUT IT'S A TIGHT SITE, AND WE DID OUR BEST
21:28:23 TO WORK WITH STAFF AND MAXIMIZE THE PARKING.
21:28:26 WE LOOKED AT RAISING THE ENTIRE BUILDING SO THAT WE COULD
21:28:30 HAVE PARKING COMPLETELY UNDERNEATH IT, BUT WITH THE
21:28:32 ENGINEERING, WE REALLY DIDN'T GAIN ANY SPACES THAT WAY AND
21:28:36 WE LOST THE REACTIVATION OF THE STREET.
21:28:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CRAMER, YOU HEARD MUCH OPPOSITION?
21:28:44 >> WE HAVEN'T.
21:28:45 WE DID RECEIVE SEVERAL CALLS AND NO OPPOSITION.
21:28:49 IN CONCLUSION, TAKING YOUR HINT, WE'RE MOVING FORWARD,
21:28:58 LOOKING FOR BALANCED REDEVELOPMENT, REACTIVATING A MIXED USE
21:29:02 CORRIDOR AND INTRODUCING A NEIGHBORHOOD-SERVING USE.
21:29:04 THANK YOU.
21:29:05 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:29:06 ANY QUESTIONS?
21:29:07 IS ANYONE HERE TO COMMENT PUBLICLY ON ITEM NUMBER 10?
21:29:13 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
21:29:17 >> GOOD EVENING, ONCE AGAIN.
21:29:19 BRENDA LINDSEY, NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
21:29:22 HE DID NOT TALK TO US.
21:29:24 HE TALKED TO NORTH HYDE PARK ALLIANCE AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE.
21:29:27 I DON'T KNOW WHO HE TALKED TO, BUT HE HAS NOT COME TO OUR
21:29:31 ASSOCIATION TO ADDRESS US AT ALL.
21:29:33 I GOT -- WE WERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
21:29:39 BUT WE'D LIKE -- SINCE I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE, I NEED TO
21:29:43 TAKE THE ASSOCIATION MORE INFORMATION.
21:29:45 SO IF WE CAN POSTPONE THIS UNTIL HE CAN MEET WITH US,
21:29:50 BECAUSE WE ARE THE CIVIC GROUP IN NORTH HYDE PARK.
21:29:53 THE ALLIANCE IS A BUSINESS ENTITY.
21:29:56 WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.
21:29:58 I'M OPPOSED TO IT AT THIS POINT.
21:30:00 >>LUIS VIERA: MA'AM, I'M SORRY.
21:30:02 DID YOU GIVE YOUR NAME.
21:30:03 >> BRENDA LINDSEY.
21:30:06 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
21:30:08 ANYONE ELSE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 10?
21:30:12 OKAY.
21:30:16 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WE CAN
21:30:19 HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AT ANOTHER TIME OUTSIDE OF THIS
21:30:22 HEARING, BUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE RECORD AND FOR THE
21:30:25 BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, FOR THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT
21:30:28 THERE IS NO OBLIGATION IN YOUR CODE OF ORDINANCES THAT ANY
21:30:33 PETITIONER HAS TO MEET WITH ANY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FOR
21:30:38 ANY PURPOSE RELATIVE TO THE REZONING.
21:30:40 NOW, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WANTS TO CONSIDER,
21:30:45 THERE ARE PERHAPS JURISDICTIONS THAT REQUIRE PERHAPS WHAT
21:30:48 WOULD BE REFERRED TO AS MAYBE A NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY
21:30:52 MEETING, BUT THAT IS NOT PARTICULARLY A REQUIREMENT, AND I
21:30:54 JUST CERTAINLY WOULD CAUTION COUNCIL TO PREDICATE ANY
21:30:59 DECISION ON THE FACT THAT NOTICE, HAVING BEEN LEGALLY
21:31:03 COMPLIED WITH, AND NOTICE HAVING BEEN SET, THE FACT THAT
21:31:06 THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION.
21:31:08 AND THE REMINDER AGAIN THERE'S ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN
21:31:11 FIRST AND SECOND READING, IF THAT IS FOR THE PETITIONER'S
21:31:14 OPINION THEIR DESIRE.
21:31:16 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR.
21:31:18 >> JAKE CRAMER AGAIN.
21:31:19 IF I MISSPOKE, I APOLOGIZE.
21:31:21 WE HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE NORTH HYDE PARK
21:31:26 ALLIANCE.
21:31:26 WE WOULD SIT DOWN AS EARLY AS TOMORROW.
21:31:29 I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE TODAY SO WE CAN TALK WITH THEIR
21:31:31 ORGANIZATION BEFORE SECOND READING.
21:31:32 THANK YOU.
21:31:38 >>LUIS VIERA: MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
21:31:40 MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
21:31:42 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
21:31:43 ALL IN FAVOR?

21:44:17 [OATH ADMINISTERED BY THE CLERK]
21:44:31 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
21:44:33 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
21:44:34 NUMBER 11 IS REZ 20-08.
21:44:37 IT'S A REZONING REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2525
21:44:42 NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY FROM PD TO PD FOR ALL COMMERCIAL
21:44:46 INTENSIVE USES.
21:44:52 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
21:44:54 COMMISSION STAFF.
21:44:54 WE'RE BACK IN WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE
21:44:57 WESTSHORE EMPLOYMENT CENTER.
21:44:59 HART ROUTE 36 AND 45 PROVIDE TRANSIT SERVICE ADJACENT TO THE
21:45:03 SUBJECT SITE.
21:45:04 IT'S LOCATED IN THE EVACUATION ZONE E.
21:45:07 THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE.
21:45:13 IT'S LOCATED ALONG NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
21:45:15 THERE IS A LOT OF INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL USES ALONG THIS
21:45:18 PORTION OF NORTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
21:45:20 CAR DEALERSHIPS, ET CETERA.
21:45:22 BEHIND THE SITE IS ARBOR POINTE APARTMENTS.
21:45:25 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
21:45:27 AND THEN TO THE NORTH, THIS IS THE YANKEES TRAINING FACILITY
21:45:30 AND THEN WE HAVE SOME AIRPORT USES.
21:45:33 THE FUTURE LAND USE IS REGIONAL MIXED USE 100.
21:45:39 AGAIN, THAT IS AN INCREDIBLY INTENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE
21:45:41 DESIGNATION WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
21:45:44 BEHIND IT, THE ARBOR POINTE APARTMENTS, THIS IS RESIDENTIAL
21:45:47 35.
21:45:48 WE ALSO HAVE RESIDENTIAL 20 IN THE AREA AND RESIDENTIAL 10.
21:45:52 THE BLUE ARE THE PUBLIC USES, THE AIRPORT AND THAT TRAINING
21:45:55 FACILITY.
21:45:56 WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
21:45:59 THEY ARE JUST REQUESTING TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE
21:46:03 USES AND NOT PROPOSING ANY STRUCTURAL OR SITE MODIFICATIONS.
21:46:06 THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT IS RECOGNIZED AS THE MAJOR
21:46:09 EMPLOYMENT CENTER, INCLUDING REGIONAL COMMERCIAL USES, SO WE
21:46:13 DID FIND ALLOWING COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE USES IS KEEPING
21:46:18 WITHIN THIS VISION OF THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT.
21:46:23 AS I STATED BEFORE, REGIONAL MIXED USE 100 IS A VERY
21:46:28 INTENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
21:46:30 WE DID FIND THAT THIS WAS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
21:46:32 SURROUNDING AREA AS WELL AS CONSISTENT WITH THE UNDERLYING
21:46:34 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
21:46:35 THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
21:46:37 THANK YOU.
21:46:43 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
21:46:44 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
21:46:44 I HAVE A REVISED STAFF REPORT TO HAND OUT.
21:46:48 I LEFT A WAIVER OUT OF THE STAFF REPORT.
21:46:51 SO I'VE CORRECTED IT.
21:46:52 IT'S FOUND ON PAGE 2.
21:46:54 IT'S BEEN UNDERLINED.
21:46:56 SO FOR THIS APPLICATION, CURRENTLY ZONED PD.
21:47:19 WHEN THIS APPLICATION WAS APPROVED IN 2001, IT WAS CASE
21:47:22 Z-01-44.
21:47:25 IT WAS APPROVED FOR RESTAURANT USE AND STRIP SHOPPING CENTER
21:47:28 USE.
21:47:29 THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO RETAIN THE EXISTING
21:47:33 SITE EXACTLY AS IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, EXACTLY AS IS.
21:47:37 HOWEVER, THEY WANT TO EXPAND THE LIST OF USES TO ANYTHING
21:47:39 THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED WITHIN THE CI ZONING DISTRICT.
21:47:41 THE CI ZONING DISTRICT USE IS PERMISSIBLE, AGAIN, AS
21:47:41 JENNIFER STATED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
21:47:42 THIS IS RMU 100 LAND USE CATEGORY WHICH IS THE MOST
21:47:51 INTENSIVE LAND USE CATEGORY IN THE ENTIRE CITY.
21:47:54 CI USES ARE APPROPRIATE IN THAT LAND USE CATEGORY.
21:47:58 AGAIN, THE EXISTING SITE IS TO REMAIN AS IS.
21:48:01 THEY JUST WANT TO EXPAND THE LIST OF USES BEYOND THE STRIP
21:48:05 SHOPPING CENTER AND RESTAURANT TO CI USES.
21:48:08 BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED MIX OF USES THAT COULD OCCUR ON
21:48:12 THE PROPERTY, A TOTAL OF 30 PARKING SPACES WOULD BE
21:48:16 ANTICIPATED TO BE REQUIRED.
21:48:17 THEY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT USES COULD GO IN THERE, BUT WE
21:48:22 TEND TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF BEING CONSERVATIVE WHERE WE TRY
21:48:26 TO ANTICIPATE THE MOST EXTREME OR HEAVILY PARKED USES GOING
21:48:30 IN.
21:48:32 WITH THAT EVALUATION, WE CAME UP WITH 30 PARKING SPACES AND
21:48:35 THERE ARE 240 -- SORRY, 300 PARKING SPACES.
21:48:39 AND THERE ARE 249 SPACES ON-SITE.
21:48:43 17 PERCENT PARKING REDUCTION THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING.
21:48:48 TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THAT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE THERE'S A
21:48:52 PARKING REDUCTION.
21:48:53 SIX OF THE ORIGINAL WAIVERS CARRIED FORWARD FROM THE
21:48:57 ORIGINAL PD, AGAIN FROM Z-01-44.
21:49:01 AND THEN THEY ARE ASKING FOR APPROXIMATELY 26, 27 ADDITIONAL
21:49:08 SQUARE FEET OF SIGNAGE FOR THE MAIN BUILDING TO AS WELL AS
21:49:16 INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SIGNS FROM ONE TO THREE WITHIN THE
21:49:18 ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE.
21:49:19 VERY MINOR CHANGES FROM STORMWATER, AND PLANNING DESIGN AND
21:49:27 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING,
21:49:29 NATURAL RESOURCES -- TRANSPORTATION DID FIND THE 17% PARKING
21:49:33 REDUCTION INCONSISTENT, AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED
21:49:37 MIX OF USES WITHIN THE STRIP SHOPPING CENTER AND THE ANCHOR
21:49:41 STORE.
21:49:42 THEN NATURAL RESOURCES JUST HAD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT TO
21:49:46 DECIDE WHEN IT GOES TO PERMITTING FOR ANY NEW USES.
21:49:49 OVERALL, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMPLIANCE STAFF DID FIND
21:49:53 THIS INCONSISTENT BECAUSE OF TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENCY
21:49:57 FOR THE 17% PARKING REDUCTION.
21:50:00 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY QUESTIONS?
21:50:04 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THANK YOU.
21:50:09 >>LUIS VIERA: PETITIONER?
21:50:12 >> GOOD EVENING.
21:50:13 ELISE BATSEL WITH STEARNS WEAVER.
21:50:15 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.
21:50:17 I WAS GOING TO HAVE A WHOLE PRESENTATION TONIGHT, BUT
21:50:19 INSTEAD I'M GOING TO SUBMIT MY PRESENTATION INTO THE RECORD
21:50:21 AND JUST HIGHLIGHT THOSE THINGS AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
21:50:24 THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH YOUR APPROVAL.
21:50:26 THIS SITE IS REALLY BASICALLY AN ATTEMPT TO RETENANT AN
21:50:40 EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.
21:50:41 THE ANCHOR TENANT WHICH USED TO BE A LARGE GROCERY OF OVER
21:50:44 40,000 SQUARE FEET HAS BEEN GONE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
21:50:47 AS YOU KNOW, RETAIL IS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THESE DAYS
21:50:50 THAN IT USED TO BE.
21:50:51 YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE INTENSE COMMERCIAL USES THAT ARE
21:50:59 ALREADY AROUND THIS PROJECT.
21:51:03 CHICK-FIL-A IS HERE.
21:51:04 THIS IS THE STADIUM UP HERE DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH, NORTH OF
21:51:08 COLUMBUS AVENUE.
21:51:09 THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT.
21:51:18 HERE IN THIS LARGE BOX IS THE EXISTING VACANT GROCERY STORE
21:51:22 SPOT.
21:51:22 THE EXISTING TENANT, OTHER SMALLER TENANTS ARE ALONG HERE
21:51:26 BUT ALSO A VACANT SPOT ALONG THE SMALLER PORTION OF THE
21:51:29 SHOPPING CENTER.
21:51:30 SO IN HOPING TO RETENANT, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A LARGE
21:51:36 FITNESS FACILITY THAT WANTS TO RETENANT THE GROCERY STORE
21:51:40 SPACE AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR A PARKING WAIVER.
21:51:44 QUICKLY, HERE IS THE CURRENT CONDITION.
21:51:49 YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS WOULD BE THE NEW FITNESS FACILITY,
21:51:53 WHICH USED TO BE THE GROCERY STORE.
21:51:54 ALONG HERE ARE THE OTHER USES WITHIN THE SHOPPING CENTER,
21:51:57 HERE AGAIN ANOTHER VACANCY.
21:51:59 AGAIN, WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE FACILITY AT ALL
21:52:05 OTHER THAN SOME UPGRADES OF LANDSCAPING AND SOME FACADE
21:52:08 IMPROVEMENTS.
21:52:09 LET'S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE PARKING WAIVER, BECAUSE I
21:52:13 KNOW THAT'S AN ISSUE.
21:52:15 THE CENTER HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE 2003 WITH A VARIETY OF
21:52:21 PERMITTED USES.
21:52:22 ALMOST TREATED LIKE A STRIP SHOPPING CENTER.
21:52:24 THERE IS A NAIL SALON, PERSONAL SERVICES.
21:52:28 THE EXISTING 249 SPACES HAVE TYPICALLY BEEN ADEQUATE WHEN
21:52:33 THE FACILITY WAS FULLY ENGAGED.
21:52:35 THE WAIVER IS 70%, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER LARGE
21:52:38 PROJECTS IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY WITHIN -- AREAS IN THE CITY
21:52:43 OF TAMPA.
21:52:44 I DID HEAR YOU, MR. DINGFELDER.
21:52:47 TRAFFIC ENGINEER IN THE BACK GAVE ME THE ITE TRIP
21:52:51 GENERATION.
21:52:51 IF YOU PLUG THE NUMBERS WITH THE MOST INTENSE USES, ADDING
21:52:55 FITNESS FACILITY, THE RESTAURANTS, THE RETAIL, WE WOULD IS
21:53:00 HE MOST INTENSE IT WOULD REQUIRE 232 SPACES WHEN FULLY
21:53:04 ENGAGED, AND WE HAVE 249 SPACES ON-SITE.
21:53:07 HOWEVER, UNDER THE CURRENT PARKING REGULATIONS, AND THE
21:53:10 REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, WE ARE
21:53:12 REQUIRED TO ASK FOR A WAIVER FOR THE SAME USES.
21:53:17 THE SECOND WAIVER IS SIGNAGE.
21:53:19 THAT SIGNAGE WOULD BE FOR THE FITNESS FACILITY.
21:53:22 AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE WOULD BE A SIGN IN THE MIDDLE AND
21:53:25 TWO SMALLER SIGNS ON EACH SIDE.
21:53:28 THE WESTERN FACADE OF THE SPACE ONLY WOULD ALLOW FOR 207
21:53:32 SQUARE FEET.
21:53:33 THE WAIVER IS REQUESTING AN ADDITIONAL 27 SQUARE FEET.
21:53:36 AND THAT WOULD BE THE EXACT SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WOULD BE
21:53:39 REQUIRED FOR THE SIGNS ON THIS PARTICULAR RENDERING.
21:53:43 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PARKING WAIVER, STAFF AND THE
21:53:48 PLANNING COMMISSION FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE
21:53:49 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
21:53:51 I THINK THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU
21:53:54 DID NOT APPROVE THIS ARE THE DUCKS THAT MOVED IN ON-SITE.
21:54:01 WITH MORE PEOPLE, THEY WILL HAVE TO RELOCATE.
21:54:03 WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
21:54:06 AND WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ASK FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR
21:54:10 APPROVAL.
21:54:10 THANK YOU.
21:54:11 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
21:54:12 ANY QUESTIONS?
21:54:13 IS ANYONE HERE TO PUBLICLY COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER 11?
21:54:17 IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

21:55:46 SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 5th AT
21:55:49 9:30 A.M.
21:55:51 >>LUIS VIERA: THAT'S THE LAST ITEM, CORRECT?
21:55:53 JUST KIDDING.
21:56:03 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO.
21:56:04 THE LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS NUMBER 12, REZ 19-94,
21:56:07 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6603 SOUTH TRASK STREET FROM INDUSTRIAL
21:56:12 GENERAL TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
21:56:20 >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING
21:56:21 COMMISSION STAFF.
21:56:22 WE'RE IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT WITHIN THE PORT
21:56:24 TAMPA CITY NEIGHBORHOOD.
21:56:25 THERE IS A HART BUS STOP NEAR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT THE
21:56:29 INTERSECTION OF WEST FERN AVENUE AND SOUTH MANHATTAN AVENUE.
21:56:34 HUNDRED FEET SOUTH OF THE SITE IS THE PORT TAMPA PARK AND
21:56:37 THE PORT TAMPA COMMUNITY CENTER.
21:56:39 THIS IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN A LEVEL A EVACUATION ZONE WHICH
21:56:43 WILL BRING ME TO MY NEXT POINT.
21:56:44 IT IS ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
21:56:47 ONCE AGAIN, I BROUGHT THIS MAP TO SHOW HOW THE COASTAL HIGH
21:56:50 HAZARD AREA IS MAPPED THROUGHOUT THE CITY, SO THE COASTAL
21:56:54 HIGH HAZARD AREA FOR THE RECORD IS THAT GREEN HATCHED.
21:56:57 WE CAN KIND OF SEE HOW IT INTERACTS WITH THE SOUTH TAMPA
21:57:02 PENINSULA.
21:57:03 SO THEN NEXT, I HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED HERE IN
21:57:07 GREEN.
21:57:08 THE GREEN HATCH AGAIN IS THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, SO WE
21:57:12 CAN SEE THE CLEAR LINES, HOW THE PARCEL, THE COASTAL HIGH
21:57:17 HAZARD AREA IS ON THE PARCEL.
21:57:19 THE SUBJECT SITE ONCE AGAIN IS LOCATED IN SOUTH TAMPA.
21:57:24 I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE ZOOMING IN AND OUT.
21:57:27 IT IS OUTLINED IN THE PURPLE.
21:57:29 THESE ARE APARTMENTS, MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
21:57:33 RAILROAD TRACKS.
21:57:35 THIS HAS THE SAME FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AS THE SUBJECT
21:57:37 SITE BEFORE YOU TODAY HAS, WHICH I'LL EXPLAIN IN A LITTLE
21:57:40 BIT.
21:57:40 WE HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, A PARK, AND THEN SCHOOLS TO THE
21:57:44 NORTH.
21:57:45 FUTURE LAND USE IS TRANSITIONAL USE 24.
21:57:51 THAT IS THIS ALMOST THE SALMON COLOR.
21:57:56 ACROSS THE WAY, THESE APARTMENTS WERE ALSO DEVELOPED UNDER
21:58:00 THAT SAME FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF TRANSITIONAL USE
21:58:03 24.
21:58:03 THE GREEN IS RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE.
21:58:05 THAT TYPICALLY DESIGNATES PARKS.
21:58:08 THE BLUE IS THE PUBLIC, THOSE ARE THE SCHOOLS I MENTIONED
21:58:10 EARLIER.
21:58:11 WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL 10 IN THE ORANGE, WHICH IS THE
21:58:14 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THEN
21:58:16 RESIDENTIAL 20 IN THIS BROWN.
21:58:19 TRANSITIONAL USE 24, DESCRIBED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS
21:58:23 HAVING NO CLEAR IDENTIFIABLE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
21:58:27 IT IS THE CATEGORY THAT HAS BEEN IN OUR PLAN SINCE ITS
21:58:33 INCEPTION, MY PROFESSIONAL UNDERSTANDING.
21:58:35 IN SOUTH TAMPA, THERE HAS BEEN A TREND THAT STAFF HAS
21:58:40 EVALUATED THAT THESE PROPERTIES THAT ARE DESIGNATED
21:58:43 TRANSITIONAL USE 24 HAVE MOVED FROM THE INDUSTRIAL USES IN
21:58:49 THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING TO MORE RESIDENTIAL USES, SUCH AS
21:58:52 THERE'S AN EXAMPLE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE SUBJECT
21:58:55 SITE.
21:58:55 THAT HAS BEEN WHAT WE HAVE WITNESSED OCCURRING IN SOUTH
21:59:00 TAMPA WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
21:59:02 ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT YOU, THE COUNCIL, TO TWO
21:59:07 POLICIES ON THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA.
21:59:10 CM POLICY 1.1.3 AND 1.1.4.
21:59:15 1.1.3 STATES 50% OR MORE OF THE PARCEL LAND LOCATED IN
21:59:20 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, ENTIRE PARCEL SHOULD BE
21:59:23 CONSIDERED.
21:59:24 STAFF PULLED THE NUMBERS AND 52% OF THE PARCEL IS LOCATED
21:59:28 WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
21:59:30 FURTHER, CM POLICY 1.1.4 STATES THAT IF THE SITE PLAN, IF A
21:59:35 PORTION OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING FOOTPRINT IS IN IT, THEN
21:59:38 THE ENTIRE PARCEL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN IT AND A REVIEW OF
21:59:41 THE SITE PLAN WOULD CLARIFY THAT, THAT THE BUILDING
21:59:45 FOOTPRINTS ARE WHAT'S ON THAT BOUNDARY OF THE COASTAL HIGH
21:59:48 HAZARD AREA.
21:59:51 AGAIN, HOWEVER SINCE THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 HAS ALLOWED FOR
21:59:56 THE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY, WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL
22:00:00 IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE
22:00:04 ALLOWABLE USES FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
22:00:07 WE DID FIND IT CONSISTENT.
22:00:09 WE DID FIND THAT IT WOULD BE SENSITIVE TO THE SURROUNDING
22:00:13 RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN THE PORT CITY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE
22:00:16 DO CITE POLICIES THAT THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
22:00:19 ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO
22:00:23 ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET
22:00:27 THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATION.
22:00:29 I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE POLICY CONTEXT IF THE
22:00:33 COUNCIL DESIRES.
22:00:34 THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
22:00:36 I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
22:00:37 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
22:00:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, MA'AM.
22:00:40 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
22:00:41 ABOUT 20 SOMETHING YEARS AGO, YOUR PREDECESSOR,
22:00:48 MR. CHIARAMONTE GAVE ME A PLANNING EDUCATION AS A YOUNG
22:00:52 ATTORNEY.
22:00:52 HE OFTEN SPOKE TO CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY AS ONE OF
22:00:58 THE IMPORTANT ASPECTS WHEN EVALUATING PROPERTIES.
22:01:05 DO YOU AGREE THAT THAT'S STILL AN IMPORTANT CRITERIA IN YOUR
22:01:09 PROFESSION?
22:01:15 >> COMPATIBILITY, YES.
22:01:17 I'M NOT SURE ABOUT HOW YOU MEAN BY CONSISTENCY.
22:01:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL TAKE COMPATIBILITY.
22:01:23 CAN YOU PUT THE AERIAL UP -- THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH THAT
22:01:27 SHOWS THE -- THAT RAILROAD TRACK IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
22:01:36 BARRIER HAVING -- MR. GUDES, HAVING SPENT A LOT OF TIME DOWN
22:01:41 AT ROBINSON IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE'RE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THAT
22:01:44 AREA.
22:01:45 I BELIEVE, AND THAT RAILROAD TRACK IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
22:01:48 BARRIER IN TERMS OF WHAT'S GOING ON ON ONE SIDE VERSUS
22:01:51 WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE OTHER SIDE.
22:01:53 AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WOULD VENTURE A GUESS LOOKING AT THE
22:01:56 FOLIAGE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX
22:02:00 THROUGH THAT RAILROAD TRACK.
22:02:02 WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT?
22:02:04 I MEAN, WE CAN SEE IT FROM THE AERIAL THAT THE APARTMENT
22:02:08 COMPLEX IS THERE.
22:02:10 BUT IF YOU'RE STANDING OUT ON THAT FIELD OR WHATEVER WAS
22:02:13 THERE BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL PARCEL AND YOU LOOK ACROSS
22:02:16 THERE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE APARTMENTS,
22:02:19 RIGHT?
22:02:19 >>JENNIFER MALONE: PERSONALLY, STAFF DIDN'T GO ONTO THE SITE
22:02:22 TO THAT EXTENT, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT.
22:02:24 BUT IT APPEARS FROM THE AERIAL THAT THAT MAY BE THE CASE.
22:02:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
22:02:30 I'LL TAKE THAT, TOO.
22:02:31 THEN MY LAST PART, QUESTION, IS LET'S LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING
22:02:37 ON, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACK IN TERMS OF EVERY
22:02:44 SINGLE -- EVERY SINGLE PARCEL THAT I CAN SEE THERE.
22:02:51 IT APPEARS TO ME, AND THERE MIGHT BE A FEW EXCEPTIONS, BUT
22:02:56 IT APPEARS TO ME THAT VIRTUALLY 90% OR MORE IS ALL
22:03:03 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
22:03:07 >>JENNIFER MALONE: IF I MAY, CAN I PUT THE FUTURE LAND USE
22:03:09 MAP BACK UP TO ILLUSTRATE.
22:03:12 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU CAN ANSWER MY QUESTION FIRST JUST --
22:03:16 DON'T GO TIGHT.
22:03:17 I WANT TO BE BACKED OUT.
22:03:19 JUST IN TERMS OF WHAT I'M SEEING THERE LOOKS LIKE A HECK OF
22:03:23 A LOT OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
22:03:25 THE MAJORITY OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
22:03:26 I THREW OUT A NUMBER, 90% SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THERE MIGHT
22:03:29 BE A SMIDGEN OF MULTIFAMILY UP ALONG MANHATTAN, PERHAPS.
22:03:35 BUT THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION OF THAT AREA THERE.
22:03:46 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I DO SEE A MIRROR, AND I WOULD SAY THAT
22:03:54 THIS IS RESIDENTIAL 20.
22:03:56 IF THEY ARE DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THERE IS
22:03:58 POTENTIAL FOR THAT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME TO NOT BE A
22:04:01 SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ANYMORE UNDER THE FUTURE LAND USE
22:04:03 DESIGNATION.
22:04:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE EXISTING MAP THAT
22:04:05 SHOWS THE AERIAL THAT SHOWS THE ROOFTOPS.
22:04:08 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I UNDERSTAND, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD I
22:04:11 NEED TO MAKE THIS POINT, FOR THE RECORD.
22:04:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASK YOU AND YOU CAN
22:04:16 COME BACK WITH WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT.
22:04:18 I'M TALKING ABOUT THE EXISTING CONDITION TODAY, AND I DON'T
22:04:20 KNOW IF YOU DID THE ANALYSIS, PROBABLY NOT, BUT THE EXISTING
22:04:23 CONDITION TODAY THAT I'M LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF ROOFTOPS IS
22:04:26 A HECK OF A LOT OF SINGLE-FAMILY AND NO MULTIFAMILY ON THAT
22:04:29 SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACK.
22:04:31 WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT?
22:04:33 >>JENNIFER MALONE: I WOULD HAVE TO SEE A ZONING MAP.
22:04:35 I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT A ZONING MAP AND LOOK AT THE ZONING.
22:04:39 BUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL BECAUSE SOME OF THESE COULD
22:04:41 BE DUPLEXES.
22:04:43 I DON'T KNOW AND PROFESSIONALLY I CANNOT SAY WITH CERTAINTY.
22:04:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
22:04:47 SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE DUPLEXES BUT WE'RE NOT SEEING
22:04:50 MULTIFAMILY COMPLEX, CORRECT?
22:04:53 >>JENNIFER MALONE: CORRECT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT PLANNED FOR
22:04:56 THAT EITHER.
22:04:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
22:04:58 THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH.
22:04:59 THANK YOU.
22:04:59 >>LUIS VIERA: ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
22:05:00 ANYTHING ELSE?
22:05:01 THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:05:02 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:05:13 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: MARY SAMANIEGO, PLANNING DESIGN AND
22:05:14 DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:05:15 HERE'S AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
22:05:20 AGAIN, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A REZONING FROM PLANNED
22:05:25 DEVELOPMENT -- FROM INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PLANNED
22:05:28 DEVELOPMENT FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
22:05:30 THEY ARE PROPOSING 24 MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNIT -- SORRY,
22:05:35 240 MAXIMUM MULTIFAMILY DWELLING UNITS WITHIN FOUR BUILDINGS
22:05:38 AND A CLUBHOUSE.
22:05:39 THE TOTAL SITE ACREAGE IS 10.51 ACRES OF PROPERTY, CURRENTLY
22:05:44 OCCUPIED BY WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION USE AND IS LOCATED AT
22:05:48 THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SOUTH WALL STREET AND WEST McCOY
22:05:52 STREET INTERSECTION.
22:05:53 THERE ARE MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE WEST WITH
22:05:56 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT Z 11-46 ZONING DISTRICT DETACHED
22:06:00 SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES TO THE EAST, NORTH AND SOUTH IN THE
22:06:03 RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT AND RM-16 AND RS-60.
22:06:11 HERE IS A ZONING MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
22:06:24 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED INDUSTRIAL
22:06:28 GENERAL.
22:06:29 TO THE SOUTH IS RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH IS A DETACHED
22:06:33 SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT.
22:06:34 THIS PROPERTY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS ZONED RM-16, WHICH IS
22:06:38 A MULTIFAMILY ZONING DISTRICT.
22:06:40 CURRENTLY, RS-60 TO THE NORTH AND ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS
22:06:45 TO THE WEST AS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR MULTIFAMILY.
22:06:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ASK A QUICK QUESTION BEFORE SHE GOES.
22:06:50 MARY, THANK YOU.
22:06:51 VERY FAINTLY, AM I SEEING LINES THAT GO THROUGH THERE THAT
22:06:57 WOULD INDICATE THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED OUT AS
22:07:00 SINGLE-FAMILY?
22:07:02 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, SIR?
22:07:05 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YEAH.
22:07:06 I FEEL LIKE I'M SEEING 50-FOOT PLAT LINES THERE.
22:07:10 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, IT APPEARS THAT THOSE ARE OLD PLAT
22:07:13 LINES.
22:07:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WITH TRASK BEING PLATTED TO COME THROUGH
22:07:17 THERE.
22:07:17 >>MARY SAMANIEGO: YES, SIR.
22:07:18 HERE IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
22:07:28 I KNOW THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE WILL GO INTO MORE
22:07:31 DETAIL.
22:07:32 AGAIN, THEY ARE ASKING FOR 240 UNITS.
22:07:37 HERE ARE THE FOUR MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT BUILDINGS, THE
22:07:43 CLUBHOUSE, SURFACE PARKING LOT, RETENTION FACILITIES, SOLID
22:07:47 WASTE FACILITY AND ONE INGRESS AND EGRESS SITE LOCATED OFF
22:07:54 OF McCOY.
22:07:56 THE PROPOSED SETBACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS.
22:08:01 NORTH IS A 30-FOOT SETBACK.
22:08:02 SOUTH IS 25 FEET.
22:08:04 EAST IS 40 FEET.
22:08:06 AND TO THE WEST THE SETBACK IS 90 FEET.
22:08:08 THE MAXIMUM PROPOSED HEIGHT IS 60 FEET IN TOTAL WITH THE
22:08:12 COMBINATION OF BEDROOMS AND DWELLING UNITS, 420 PARKING
22:08:16 SPACES ARE BEING REQUIRED AND 421 ARE BEING PROVIDED.
22:08:21 ALL VEHICULAR ACCESS LIKE I SAID WILL EXIT AND ENTER WITH
22:08:25 ONE DRIVEWAY ON TO WEST McCOY STREET.
22:08:28 THERE ARE SOME MINOR CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
22:08:31 READING FROM PLANNING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
22:08:33 AS WELL AS TRANSPORTATION.
22:08:37 STORMWATER HAS ONE NOTE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
22:08:40 AND NATURAL RESOURCES DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH SOME
22:08:42 MODIFICATIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
22:08:45 OVERALL, THIS APPLICATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR REQUESTING ANY
22:08:50 WAIVERS TO ANY PROVISION IN THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
22:08:53 DEVELOPMENT CODE.
22:08:54 SO THEY ARE MEETING ALL APPLICABLE STANDARDS WITH THIS
22:08:57 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THEY ARE BRINGING BEFORE YOU.
22:09:00 SAYING THAT, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS
22:09:03 FOUND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND
22:09:04 DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.
22:09:06 SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE
22:09:08 APPLICATION, FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE
22:09:12 COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING
22:09:15 OF THE ORDINANCE AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
22:09:19 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:09:20 ANY QUESTIONS?
22:09:20 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
22:09:22 APPLICANT, PLEASE.
22:09:28 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
22:09:29 CAMI CORBETT, 101 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, SUITE 3700.
22:09:34 I AM REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT OWNER, KR TAMPA TRASK 2019,
22:09:39 LLC, AND MANAGING MEMBER OF THE ENTITY.
22:09:42 MR. GERARD KEATING IS ALSO HERE WITH ME ALONG WITH MR. BRIAN
22:09:46 METZLER WITH PENLER, WHO IS OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER, AND ALL
22:09:48 OF OUR EXPERTS THIS EVENING.
22:09:50 MS. ALEXIS CRESPO, OUR LAND USE PLANNER.
22:09:53 SHE'S WITH WALDROP ENGINEERING.
22:09:55 MR. STEVE HENRY, WHO IS OUR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER.
22:09:57 MR. RICKY PETERIKA, WHO IS OUR ARBORIST.
22:10:01 AND MR. TRENT STEVENSON, WHO IS OUR ENGINEER WITH LEVEL UP.
22:10:04 IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ASK
22:10:07 MS. CRESPO TO COME UP AND BEGIN HER PRESENTATION.
22:10:11 >> GOOD EVENING.
22:10:11 ALEXIS CRESPO WITH WALDROP ENGINEERING REPRESENTING THE
22:10:15 APPLICANT.
22:10:16 I WILL SUBMIT MY RESUMÉ INTO THE FILE FOLLOWING MY
22:10:18 PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.
22:10:20 I AM A CERTIFIED PLANNER WITH THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF
22:10:23 CERTIFIED PLANNERS.
22:10:24 I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING LAND USE PLANNING IN FLORIDA
22:10:27 APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS.
22:10:29 THERE WERE EXCELLENT QUESTIONS ON COMPATIBILITY AND WE HOPE
22:10:31 TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FOR YOU THIS EVENING.
22:10:33 IF I COULD HAVE THE PowerPoint PRESENTATION PULLED UP.
22:10:36 I WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROPOSED -- MAY I HAVE THE
22:10:43 PowerPoint PRESENTATION?
22:10:44 THANK YOU.
22:10:46 YOU'VE SEEN THE AERIAL.
22:10:49 WE DISCUSSED ALL THE SURROUNDING LAND USE PATTERN AROUND US.
22:10:52 THIS IS AN INFILL INDUSTRIAL SITE IN A RESIDENTIAL
22:10:57 NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE POINT MADE EARLIER.
22:10:59 THE USE, THE IG ZONING DISTRICT IS NO LONGER CONSISTENT AND
22:11:06 IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THIS SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:11:09 WE DO HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO OUR EAST.
22:11:13 WE HAVE PUBLIC USES, SCHOOLS, THE ARTERIAL ROADWAY NETWORK
22:11:19 TO OUR WEST AS WELL AS OUR NORTHEAST.
22:11:21 WE ALSO HAVE RAILROAD LINES.
22:11:23 THIS IS A DIVERSE TRANSITIONING AREA, AND WE SUBMIT THAT
22:11:27 THROUGH OUR PROPOSED DESIGN WHICH MEETS ALL OF YOUR LAND
22:11:30 DEVELOPMENT CODE CRITERIA.
22:11:32 WE HAVE ADDRESSED THOUGHTFULLY COMPATIBILITY WITH THE
22:11:34 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:11:36 SO WHY IS THIS PROJECT DIFFERENT?
22:11:39 YOU HAVE SEEN PROJECTS SOUTH OF GANDY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
22:11:43 MONTHS.
22:11:44 WE'RE ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS WITH MOST PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE
22:11:47 THIS EVENING, HAVING MET WITH THEM SINCE JUNE OF 2019.
22:11:50 SO WE SUBMIT TO YOU THIS PROJECT IS DIFFERENT.
22:11:53 WE MET EARLY AND FREQUENTLY WITH THE COMMUNITY.
22:11:55 WE REDESIGNED THIS SITE THREE, FOUR TIMES TO ADDRESS
22:11:59 COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS AND TO ADDRESS EVERY ITEM BROUGHT
22:12:02 BEFORE US THROUGH THIS LENGTHY PROCESS.
22:12:05 IN DOING SO, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ELIMINATE ALL WAIVERS FROM
22:12:08 THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND WE HAVE ACHIEVED CONSISTENCY
22:12:12 FROM YOUR STAFF IN REGARDS TO THOSE REGULATIONS.
22:12:15 THIS SITE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR IG ZONING ANY LONGER.
22:12:20 YOU'VE SEEN OTHER SITES THAT FRONT ON COLLECTOR ROADWAYS
22:12:23 THAT ARE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE COMMUNITY.
22:12:25 THIS SITE IS NOT IN THAT POSITION AND IS CERTAINLY
22:12:31 APPROPRIATE FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AS OPPOSED TO THE IG ZONING
22:12:34 DISTRICT THAT CURRENTLY IS TODAY.
22:12:36 A KEY COMPONENT ALSO MAKES THIS DIFFERENT IS AGAIN THE
22:12:39 THOUGHTFUL DESIGN.
22:12:40 WE HAVE CARVED OUT PUBLIC PARK SPACE AT THE CORNER OF WALL
22:12:43 STREET AND McCOY IN ORDER TO INVITE THE COMMUNITY INTO THE
22:12:47 PROJECT AND FOR THEM TO HAVE A HAND IN WHAT WE HOPE TO
22:12:50 CREATE ON THIS SITE.
22:12:51 AND WE'VE ALSO PREPARED A SITE-SPECIFIC HURRICANE
22:12:54 PREPAREDNESS PLAN TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT 52% OF THE SITE
22:12:57 IS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH-HAZARD AREA.
22:13:00 I'LL GET THAT INTO THE RECORD A LITTLE BIT LATER.
22:13:02 I WON'T BELABOR THIS.
22:13:05 IT IS LATE.
22:13:05 WE AGREE WITH YOUR STAFF IN TERMS OF OUR CONSISTENCY WITH
22:13:08 YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
22:13:11 YOUR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT.
22:13:13 THIS IS TO ALLOW FOR APPROPRIATE REDEVELOPMENT.
22:13:15 IT IS TO ADDRESS CONDITIONS OF COMPATIBILITY TO ALLOW FOR
22:13:20 DIFFERING USES, MULTIFAMILY TO SINGLE-FAMILY, THEY CAN
22:13:23 COEXIST TOGETHER WHEN DONE THOUGHTFULLY AND IN ACCORDANCE
22:13:28 WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IN A WAY THAT CAN PROTECT
22:13:31 NEIGHBORHOODS.
22:13:32 THESE ARE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE SITE.
22:13:34 YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THIS AERIAL, IT IS ELEVATED.
22:13:38 SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS ELIMINATES THE POINT MADE EARLIER,
22:13:41 BUT CERTAINLY YOU CAN SEE THE NEIGHBORING MULTIFAMILY
22:13:43 APARTMENTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT VEGETATION, AND THE
22:13:48 DILAPIDATED INDUSTRIAL BUILDING EXISTED THERE FOR MANY YEARS
22:13:53 AND BEEN OVERRUN WITH HOMELESS PEOPLE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS
22:13:58 OWNER, MR. KEATING HAS CLEANED UP THE PROPERTY SINCE
22:14:01 ACQUIRING IT THIS PAST SUMMER.
22:14:03 BUT CLEARLY, A USE THAT DOESN'T BELONG WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL
22:14:07 NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:14:07 YOUR STAFF HAS OUTLINED THE TU-24 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY
22:14:12 THAT APPLIES.
22:14:14 THIS ALLOWS FOR 24 UNITS PER ACRE AS WELL AS AN F.A.R. FLOOR
22:14:17 AREA RATIO OF 1.5.
22:14:19 TODAY, WITHOUT ANY ZONING APPROVALS, THIS SITE CAN BE
22:14:22 REDEVELOPED WITH OVER 600,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL
22:14:27 USES.
22:14:29 CERTAINLY NOT REPORTING THAT THAT INTENSITY WOULD BE LIKELY
22:14:31 ON THE SITE, BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT CAN BE DONE
22:14:34 TODAY WITHOUT ANY ZONING APPROVALS FROM THIS COUNCIL.
22:14:38 BASED ON THAT IG ZONING DISTRICT WHICH, AGAIN, IS NOT
22:14:41 COMPATIBLE.
22:14:41 THE IG USES PERMITTED BY RIGHT, THIS CERTAINLY HAS BEEN A
22:14:47 SLEEPING GIANT.
22:14:48 UNDER UTILIZED MORE THAN A DECADE.
22:14:53 THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT BEEN BOTHERED BY IT.
22:14:56 SHOULD IT BE REVITALIZED, THE USES THAT CAN GO THERE ARE
22:15:01 MANUFACTURING, GAS STATION, OPEN STORAGE AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT
22:15:04 AND VEHICLE REPAIRS.
22:15:06 ALL OF THAT WITHOUT ANY APPROVALS BY THIS BOARD.
22:15:10 IN TERMS OF THE IG REGULATIONS, AGAIN, THAT APPLY TO THE
22:15:15 PROPERTY TODAY BY RIGHT, THERE ARE VERY MINIMAL SETBACKS IN
22:15:19 LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR INDUSTRIAL USES THAT COULD BE
22:15:21 DEVELOPED.
22:15:21 OUR PROPOSED PD IN SOME CASES QUADRUPLES THE REQUIRED
22:15:26 SETBACKS THAT ARE IN PLACE TODAY.
22:15:27 WE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO GET THAT 40-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK
22:15:32 SO THE CLOSEST BUILDING TO ANY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO
22:15:34 OUR EAST IS WELL WITHIN THE SITE, GIVING US PLENTY OF ROOM
22:15:39 TO BUFFER AND LOCATE GRAND TREES OR PRESERVE GRAND TREES IN
22:15:43 THOSE AREAS.
22:15:44 WE ALSO HAVE ENHANCED REAR AND FRONT SETBACKS.
22:15:48 OF PARTICULAR NOTE IS OUR PROPOSED F.A.R.
22:15:51 RATHER THAN THE 1.5 OR OVER 600,000 SQUARE FEET, WE'RE
22:15:55 PROPOSING JUST .46 FLOOR AREA RATIO.
22:15:59 WE'RE ALSO LIMITING OUR BUILDING HEIGHT TO ANYWHERE FROM 15
22:16:02 TO 5 FEET BELOW THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT TO DATE IN IG
22:16:07 ZONING.
22:16:08 IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF
22:16:11 RESPECT FOR THE FOLKS IN THIS ROOM.
22:16:13 THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY.
22:16:15 THEY HAVE VALID CONCERNS ABOUT WANTING PLANNING TO OCCUR
22:16:18 SOUTH OF GANDY.
22:16:20 WE SUBMITTED A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION, AND BEFORE
22:16:24 DOING SO, MET WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND MET WITH THEM AGAIN
22:16:28 AND AGAIN.
22:16:29 WE'VE GONE TO THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION OF PORT TAMPA FOR THREE
22:16:33 MEETINGS SINCE JUNE, WE ALSO HOSTED TWO NEIGHBORHOOD
22:16:36 COMMUNITY OUTREACH WITH OUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS, AS WE
22:16:40 NOTICED SOME OF THE FOLKS ON WALL STREET WEREN'T COMING TO
22:16:42 THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, SO WE DID REACH OUT
22:16:45 PERSONALLY AND HOST THOSE MEETINGS AND AGAIN MODIFIED OUR
22:16:48 PLAN TO ADDRESS CONCERNS AND ITEMS WE HEARD THERE.
22:16:53 WE DO FEEL MADE IT THE BEST PLAN POSSIBLE THAT'S COMING
22:16:56 BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
22:16:57 WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WORKED ON
22:16:59 BASED UPON THE INPUT WE RECEIVED?
22:17:03 WE LIMITED THE BUILDING HEIGHT TO THREE STORIES.
22:17:05 THERE'S ONE FOUR-STORY BUILDING THAT IS THE CLOSEST
22:17:08 STRUCTURE TO THE CSX RAIL LINE, AND THE FARTHEST FROM THE
22:17:12 SINGLE-FAMILY USES TO OUR EAST.
22:17:15 WE ALSO CARVED OUT THE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE GREENSPACE.
22:17:19 THEY WERE INTERESTED IN A GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL COMPONENT
22:17:22 ALONG McCOY STREET JUST DUE TO THE MARKET TRENDS AND THE
22:17:26 VISIBILITY THAT COMMERCIAL USES NEED, IT WASN'T APPROPRIATE
22:17:31 TO PUT COMMERCIAL WITHIN THE SPECIFIC SITE.
22:17:33 THAT WOULD BELONG ON MANHATTAN OR WESTSHORE, WORKING WITH
22:17:37 THEM, UNDERSTANDING THEY WANTED ACTIVITY, STREET LEVEL
22:17:39 INTERFACE WITH McCOY, WE DID CARVE OUT THAT CIVIC SPACE.
22:17:43 WE ENHANCED OUR BUFFERS ALONG PERIMETER BOUNDARIES,
22:17:47 PARTICULARLY THOSE ABUTTING THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
22:17:50 WE ARE PRESERVING MORE GREENSPACE THAN REQUIRED BY YOUR
22:17:53 CODE, AND WE HAVE WORKED TO PRESERVE ALL NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND
22:17:58 TREES ON THE SITE.
22:17:59 THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SAW.
22:18:04 WE HAVE 240 MULTIFAMILY UNITS WITHIN FOUR BUILDINGS.
22:18:08 SURFACE AS WELL AS COVERED PARKING FOR RESIDENTS.
22:18:12 WE HAVE ACCESS FROM McCOY STREET, ONE POINT OF INGRESS AND
22:18:17 EGRESS.
22:18:17 IT WOULD BE A GATED ENTRY.
22:18:19 EIGHT-FOOT-WIDE BUFFERS ALONG THE PERIMETER WITH DECORATIVE
22:18:23 FENCING.
22:18:24 WE WOULD BE INSTALLING AND IMPROVING SIDEWALKS ALONG McCOY
22:18:27 STREET AS WELL AS WALL STREET.
22:18:29 CLUBHOUSE AND POOL LOCATED INTERNAL TO THE SITE FOR
22:18:34 RESIDENTS.
22:18:34 THAT LABELING DENOTES OUR THREE-STORY BUILDINGS WITH THE
22:18:37 FOUR-STORY BUILDING BEING THE FARTHEST AWAY AGAIN FROM THE
22:18:40 SINGLE-FAMILY.
22:18:42 WE HAVE AN INTERNAL DOG PARK AMENITY.
22:18:44 AGAIN, ALL NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREES ARE BEING PRESERVED.
22:18:49 MANY OF THEM ARE ALONG THAT PERIMETER SHARED WITH WALL
22:18:52 STREET AND OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE EAST TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT
22:18:56 BUFFERING AND COVERAGE.
22:18:57 AND THEN OUR 40-FOOT SETBACK FROM THAT PROPERTY LINE.
22:19:01 THE SOUTHEAST CORNER IS WHERE WE'RE DOING A COVERED PAVILION
22:19:05 AREA, SEATING, BENCHING THAT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
22:19:09 THERE IS A GRAND TREE IN THAT LOCATION THAT WOULD ADD TO
22:19:11 THAT COMMUNITY FEATURE.
22:19:12 IN TERMS OF COMPATIBILITY, WE UPDATED OUR ARCHITECTURAL
22:19:20 THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO CREATE AN OLD-FLORIDA TYPE FEEL
22:19:24 BUILDING THAT WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE
22:19:27 NEIGHBORHOOD AND GET AWAY FROM SOME OF THE MONOLITHIC
22:19:30 ARCHITECTURE YOU SEE ALONG WESTSHORE AND THE MARINA
22:19:34 DISTRICT.
22:19:34 SO WE CERTAINLY SUBMIT TO THE COUNCIL THAT THIS WILL ONLY
22:19:38 ENHANCE COMPATIBILITY UPON THOSE EXISTING CONDITIONS TODAY
22:19:43 AND WHAT CAN BE REDEVELOPED ON THE SITE UNDER THE CURRENT
22:19:45 ZONING IN PLACE.
22:19:46 WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO STEVE.
22:19:55 >> GOOD EVENING.
22:19:56 STEVE HENRY, LINKS AND ASSOCIATES.
22:19:58 WEST LAUREL, TAMPA, 33607.
22:20:01 I AM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF
22:20:03 FLORIDA WITH 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
22:20:05 I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC.
22:20:08 ONE THING ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MOBILITY POLICY 1.1.1
22:20:12 STATES THAT THE AREA SOUTH OF FLETCHER AVENUE IS CONCURRENCY
22:20:16 EXCEPTION AREA.
22:20:16 OBVIOUSLY, THIS PARCEL FALLS WITHIN THAT AREA.
22:20:19 SECOND, THAT THE POLICY 1.1.2 STATES THAT YOU HAVE TO
22:20:24 MITIGATE THE IMPACTS, PROPOSE TO MITIGATE IT.
22:20:28 WE ARE MITIGATING OUR IMPACTS THROUGH THE PAYMENT OF OUR
22:20:31 MITIGATION FEE.
22:20:33 IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE DONE A TRAFFIC STUDY.
22:20:36 IT'S BEEN DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR PROCEDURES MANUAL.
22:20:40 BASED ON THAT, YOUR STAFF HAS REVIEWED IT AND HAS APPROVED
22:20:43 THAT ANALYSIS.
22:20:43 IN ADDITION TO THAT WE'VE GONE ONE STEP FURTHER, AND WE HAVE
22:20:48 DONE ACTUALLY A HURRICANE EVACUATION EVALUATION FOR THE
22:20:52 PROJECT.
22:20:53 THIS IS BASED ON THE METHODOLOGY OUTLINED IN THE FLORIDA
22:20:55 ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.
22:20:57 AND BASED ON THAT CODE, WHAT THEY LOOK AT IN IMPACT TO A
22:21:02 HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE IS 25% OF THE LEVEL OF SERVICE E
22:21:07 CAPACITY OF THOSE HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES.
22:21:09 IF YOU EXCEED THAT, THEN YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON
22:21:12 THOSE HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES.
22:21:14 THIS PROJECT WOULD HAVE A .81% IMPACT ON HURRICANE
22:21:19 EVACUATION ROUTE.
22:21:20 BASED ON FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, AN INSIGNIFICANT
22:21:23 IMPACT ON HURRICANE EVACUATION.
22:21:24 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ARE YOU HANGED US THAT DOCUMENT, THAT
22:21:27 EVALUATION?
22:21:28 >> I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
22:21:29 ABSOLUTELY.
22:21:32 WOULD YOU LIKE A COPY?
22:21:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ABSOLUTELY.
22:21:38 IF YOU'RE RELYING ON IT.
22:21:40 THANK YOU, STEVE.
22:21:44 >> IN ADDITION TO THAT, AS INDICATED, THE PROPERTY IS
22:21:48 CURRENTLY ZONED IG, WHICH WOULD ALLOW 692,000 SQUARE FEET.
22:21:53 SO WHAT THIS IS, IT IS A TRAFFIC COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'RE
22:21:58 PROPOSING VERSUS WHAT COULD BE DEVELOPED ON THE PROPERTY
22:22:01 BASED, BY RIGHT, BASED ON THE CURRENT ZONING.
22:22:04 THE GREEN SHOWS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
22:22:06 THE BLUE SHOWS WHAT COULD BE BUILT THERE AND THE TRAFFIC
22:22:09 THAT MIGHT BE GENERATED BY THAT.
22:22:12 IN THE A.M. PEAK HOUR, OUR PROJECT IS 81 TRIPS.
22:22:16 THE IG COULD BE 485.
22:22:20 IN THE P.M. PEAK HOUR, YOU'VE GOT 103, OUR PROJECT.
22:22:24 THE PROPOSED WOULD BE 436.
22:22:26 SO WE'RE SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT
22:22:29 COULD BE GENERATED BY THE PROPERTY TODAY BY RIGHT.
22:22:33 I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER.
22:22:46 >> CAMI IS GOING TO BE HANGED OUT THE SITE-SPECIFIC
22:22:49 HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS PLAN THAT WE PREPARED FOR THIS SITE.
22:22:55 WE ADDRESSED SOME OF THE CONCERNS WE HEARD REGARDING
22:22:58 HURRICANE EVACUATION TIME.
22:23:00 AND THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE SHELTER MITIGATION IMPACT FEE
22:23:04 WE WILL BE PAYING IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT
22:23:08 CODE FOR BEING IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
22:23:10 THE PLAN INCLUDES A DISCLAIMER.
22:23:11 WHEN ANYONE COMES IN TO LEASE A UNIT, THEY WILL BE NOTIFIED
22:23:15 THAT THEY ARE WITHIN A HURRICANE EVACUATION ZONE AND BE
22:23:18 PROVIDED WITH PLANS AND INFORMATION REGARDING EVACUATION.
22:23:22 THERE WILL BE AN ANNUAL HURRICANE EDUCATION SEMINAR, AND
22:23:26 PROBABLY MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, THE PLAN, THE DEVELOPER AND
22:23:29 EVENTUAL OPERATOR OF THE APARTMENT WILL PROVIDE
22:23:33 TRANSPORTATION TO ALL RESIDENTS IN THE EVENT OF AN
22:23:35 EVACUATION ORDER OCCURRING.
22:23:37 SO WE SPELLED THAT OUT.
22:23:39 THAT CAN BE FURTHER IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION
22:23:41 PLAN REVIEW PROCESS, AND IT IS A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT WAY TO
22:23:46 ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THE SITE WOULD BE EVACUATED.
22:23:51 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I'VE GOT A QUESTION.
22:23:53 MR. HENRY WAS UP THERE A SECOND AGO.
22:23:57 MR. HENRY, YOU CITE TO FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RULE 73C
22:24:05 AS IN CHARLIE.
22:24:06 THAT IS THE BASIS OF YOUR EVALUATION IN YOUR REPORT.
22:24:09 >> YES.
22:24:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I JUST LOOKED UP THAT PROVISION IN
22:24:13 FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT
22:24:17 IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S ALL ABOUT DRIs, DEVELOPMENT OF
22:24:22 REGIONAL IMPACTS.
22:24:23 LET ME FINISH.
22:24:24 IS THIS A DRI?
22:24:26 >> NO, IT IS NOT.
22:24:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU KIND OF WENT
22:24:32 GROPING INTO THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO FIND ANYTHING ABOUT
22:24:34 HURRICANE EVACUATION, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME UP WITH?
22:24:37 >> WELL, WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR WAS ANY KIND OF EVALUATION
22:24:40 OR ANY KIND OF CRITERIA THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO
22:24:45 IDENTIFY WHAT THE IMPACT IS OR TRYING TO IDENTIFY AND
22:24:49 QUANTIFY WHAT THE IMPACT IS ON A HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE.
22:24:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HAS THE CITY RECOGNIZED THIS APPROACH FOR
22:24:57 THIS TYPE OF PROJECT?
22:24:59 >> TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS THE ONLY CRITERIA THAT WE HAVE
22:25:01 SEEN THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A
22:25:04 METHODOLOGY TO LOOK AT YOUR IMPACT ON HURRICANE EVACUATION.
22:25:07 IF THERE IS ANOTHER CRITERIA, I'M HAPPY TO LOOK AT IT, BUT
22:25:11 THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT I'VE EVER SEEN
22:25:15 AS FAR AS EVALUATING THE IMPACT ON HURRICANE EVACUATION
22:25:17 ROUTES.
22:25:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: EVEN YOUR REPORT, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
22:25:20 HONESTY, EVEN YOUR REPORT SAYS -- I'LL ALWAYS APPRECIATE
22:25:23 YOUR HONESTY AND I TELL YOU THAT, BUT EVEN YOUR REPORT SAYS
22:25:26 TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT REGIONAL IMPACT ON HURRICANE
22:25:31 EVACUATION IMPLIES DRIs, WHICH TO ME, MY LITTLE BIT OF
22:25:35 EXPERIENCE SEEMS TO BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL.
22:25:38 >> IF WE WERE 24.9 AND SAYING WE WEREN'T, BUT WE WERE .8% AS
22:25:45 OPPOSED TO 25%.
22:25:46 MONUMENTAL DIFFERENCE IN WHETHER IT'S SIGNIFICANT OR NOT.
22:25:52 BUT THIS GIVES THE CRITERIA TO LOOK AT AND METHODOLOGY TO
22:25:57 DETERMINE WHAT THE TRIPS ARE AND WHAT THE IMPACT IS.
22:26:00 THAT'S WHY WE'VE USED THE CRITERIA.
22:26:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
22:26:03 >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR.
22:26:04 ANYTHING FURTHER, PETITIONER? HOW MUCH TIME DID THEY HAVE
22:26:08 LEFT?
22:26:10 >> 29 SECONDS.
22:26:12 >>LUIS VIERA: IF YOU NEED A MINUTE.
22:26:13 >> NO, I WOULD SAY THAT AGAIN COUNCIL THIS EVENING -- YEAH,
22:26:17 THE COUNCIL THIS EVENING, AS YOU'RE AWARE, BUT MAYBE FOR
22:26:20 MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE AND MAYBE PEOPLE WHO ARE VIEWING
22:26:22 FROM HOME, WE KNOW THAT COUNCIL IS SITTING IN ITS
22:26:25 QUASI-JUDICIAL DECISION-MAKING SEAT THIS EVENING, AND ITS
22:26:30 ROLE IS MAKE A DETERMINATION BASED ON THE EXISTING
22:26:32 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND EXISTING LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
22:26:35 POLICIES TODAY, WHETHER OR NOT THIS APPLICANT HAS SATISFIED
22:26:37 ITS BURDEN TO SHOW IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
22:26:40 PLAN AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
22:26:42 IT'S VERY DIFFERENT THAN A LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION THAT YOU ALL
22:26:44 SERVE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE FUTURE LAND USE MAPS AND
22:26:47 FUTURE POLICIES IN THE FUTURE AND WE'LL RESERVE TIME FOR
22:26:50 REBUTTAL.
22:26:53 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:26:54 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAD A QUICK QUESTION FOR THE PLANNER.
22:26:59 >> ALEXIS CRESPO.
22:27:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, MA'AM.
22:27:02 SPEAKING OF COMPATIBILITY, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR AICP
22:27:09 CREDENTIAL VERY MUCH.
22:27:11 IF THIS DEVELOPER CAME TO YOU A YEAR AGO AND SAID I WANT TO
22:27:17 PUT 60 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO ME
22:27:21 THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 60 PLATTED LOTS HERE, WOULD YOU HAVE
22:27:25 TOLD THEM THAT THAT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE REST OF THE
22:27:29 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD?
22:27:30 >> SINGLE-FAMILY WOULD ALSO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
22:27:33 SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:27:34 I WOULD SUBMIT THAT MULTIFAMILY IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WHEN WELL
22:27:37 DESIGNED.
22:27:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I UNDERSTAND.
22:27:38 I'M CURIOUS ABOUT SINGLE-FAMILY.
22:27:40 SO FROM YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, SINGLE-FAMILY COULD HAVE
22:27:44 BEEN COMPATIBLE WITH THIS LOCATION.
22:27:47 >> YES.
22:27:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
22:27:49 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE.
22:27:50 MR. SHELBY.
22:27:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. CRESPO, MS. CORBETT DID HAND IN YOUR
22:27:57 RESUMÉ.
22:27:57 I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WANTED TO MAKE THAT PART OF THE
22:27:59 RECORD AT THIS TIME.
22:28:01 >> YES, PLEASE.
22:28:02 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:28:03 IF ANYONE IS HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 12, PLEASE COME
22:28:07 FORWARD.
22:28:08 SO THAT WE GET A GOOD IDEA, HOW MANY FOLKS HERE ARE PLANNING
22:28:12 ON SPEAKING THIS EVENING, IF YOU COULD RAISE YOUR HAND.
22:28:15 HOW MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE SPEAKER WAIVER FORMS OR PLANNING
22:28:22 ON?
22:28:22 SO IF EVERYONE WHO IS PLANNING ON SPEAKING, IF YOU'RE ABLE
22:28:26 TO DO SO, PLEASE STAND UP AND LINE UP AGAINST THE WALL SO
22:28:29 THAT WE CAN KNOW.
22:28:30 THANK YOU.
22:28:31 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. ZELL HAS ONE NAME.
22:28:38 KATLYN SHARON, ARE YOU HERE AND WAIVING YOUR TIME?
22:28:43 FOUR MINUTES PLEASE.
22:28:45 ARE YOU MS. ZELL?
22:28:49 YOU DON'T HAVE A SPEAKER WAIVER FORM.
22:28:52 OKAY.
22:28:52 YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES THEN.
22:28:54 YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
22:28:55 SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
22:28:58 I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE MS. ZELL.
22:28:59 >> KALI DENAULT, 7708 SOUTH SPARKMAN STREET, TAMPA, FLORIDA,
22:29:04 33616, PORT TAMPA CIVIC ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT.
22:29:07 I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF A DIVIDED BOARD AND
22:29:11 NEIGHBORS WHO STAND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE.
22:29:14 WHILE I'M NOT HERE TO SAY THE BOARD COLLECTIVELY SUPPORTS
22:29:16 THE PROJECT, I'M ALSO NOT HERE TO SAY THAT WE OPPOSE IT.
22:29:19 I'VE SPOKEN AGAINST REZONING THE SPECIFIC PIECE OF PROPERTY
22:29:23 WHEN A PREVIOUS POTENTIAL OWNER REJECTED OUR EFFORTS TO MEET
22:29:27 REGARDING THE PROJECT AND DID NOT WANT OUR INPUT.
22:29:29 THIS TIME AROUND, THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BEFORE THIS
22:29:32 HEARING.
22:29:33 WE MET SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE OWNER.
22:29:35 WHAT WAS ONCE A SITE OF DEBRIS AND CRIME IS NOW CLEAN AND
22:29:40 CLEAR.
22:29:41 NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR APPRECIATION FOR
22:29:43 THAT AS WELL AS THEIR DISPLEASURE IN THIS PROPERTY COMING TO
22:29:45 LIFE AS AN INDUSTRIAL SITE.
22:29:46 FOR THAT REASON, SOME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD RATHER SEE
22:29:49 THE SITE REZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY.
22:29:51 HOWEVER, AS WE HAVE EXPRESSED MANY TIMES BEFORE, THE
22:29:53 CONGESTION IN OUR AREA AND NORTH OF US CONTINUES TO WORSEN.
22:29:57 OUR ROADS ARE OVERCROWDED AND OUR SIDEWALKS ARE NOT
22:29:59 CONTINUOUS.
22:30:00 WE CANNOT SUPPORT CITY COUNCIL ADDING TO THIS CONGESTION
22:30:03 WHILE THE CITY DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CURRENT RESIDENTS IN OUR
22:30:06 NEIGHBORHOOD.
22:30:06 THIS MATTER IS ABOUT REZONING FROM INDUSTRIAL TO
22:30:09 MULTIFAMILY, AND WE WILL NOT OPPOSE THAT AS A BOARD.
22:30:13 THANK YOU.
22:30:14 >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
22:30:15 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU SPEAK ABOUT TRAFFIC IN TERMS OF
22:30:17 DAY-TO-DAY TRAFFIC.
22:30:19 DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS?
22:30:21 DOES YOUR ASSOCIATION HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT HURRICANE
22:30:24 EVACUATION TRAFFIC IN TERMS OF EVERYBODY SOUTH OF GANDY
22:30:28 TRYING TO GET OUT?
22:30:29 >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
22:30:30 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT MULTIPLE TIMES.
22:30:32 I THINK ONE FEAR BECAME REAL WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN
22:30:37 IT WAS HURRICANE MATTHEW HIT PANAMA CITY.
22:30:43 THAT ESCALATED VERY QUICKLY AND IT WENT FROM I BELIEVE A ONE
22:30:46 TO A FIVE OR TWO TO FIVE, VERY QUICKLY.
22:30:48 THAT'S WHEN WE REALLY STARTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WOULD
22:30:51 HAPPEN IF WE WENT FROM A MILD HURRICANE TO A MAJOR
22:30:54 EVACUATION.
22:30:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THE NOTION OF 331 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES
22:30:59 COMING OUT OF THIS PARCEL, HOW WOULD YOU EVALUATE THAT IN
22:31:04 TERMS OF HURRICANE EVACUATIONS?
22:31:07 >> I DON'T THINK IT WOULD HELP US.
22:31:08 THAT'S FOR SURE.
22:31:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
22:31:10 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:31:11 NEXT, PLEASE.
22:31:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. ZELL HAS FOUR MINUTES.
22:31:25 >>LUIS VIERA: GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
22:31:26 >> GOOD EVENING.
22:31:27 MY NAME IS TAMMY ZELL.
22:31:29 I'M A VOLUNTEER WITH THE STOP OVERBUILDING SOG GROUP.
22:31:33 I WANT TO START OFF BY STATING THAT I AM A DEPARTMENT OF
22:31:35 DEFENSE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE AT MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, BUT I
22:31:38 AM IN NO WAY SPEAKING AS A BASE REPRESENTATIVE.
22:31:41 I WOULD LIKE TO USE MY TIME THIS EVENING TO PROVIDE A
22:31:43 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE SOUTH TAMPA TRAFFIC ISSUES
22:31:46 THAT STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY.
22:31:48 I MOVED TO TAMPA IN MAY 2000 AND FROM THE START WAS LIVING
22:31:52 IN SOG.
22:31:54 MY FIRST DWELLING WAS AN APARTMENT AT LIGHTHOUSE BAY
22:31:54 APARTMENTS, LOCATED AT DALE MABRY HIGHWAY JUST SOUTH OF
22:31:59 GANDY.
22:31:59 ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, I WAS AT MY JOB ON BASE WHEN WE
22:32:03 RECEIVED WORD THAT THE FIRST TOWER OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
22:32:06 HAD BEEN STRUCK BY AN AIRPLANE.
22:32:07 A NUMBER OF US STOOD IN THE BREAK ROOM WATCHING THE
22:32:11 TELEVISION NEWS COVERAGE AND WITNESSED THE SECOND PLANE
22:32:15 HITTING THE SECOND TOWER.
22:32:16 WHEN JUST OVER 30 MINUTES LATER, WE SAW A REPORT OF THE
22:32:19 PENTAGON BEING STRUCK, IT DIDN'T TAKE US LONG TO REALIZE
22:32:21 THAT OUR LOCATION COULD ALSO BE AT RISK.
22:32:23 FORTUNATELY, THOSE FEARS NEVER CAME TO LIGHT, BUT THE
22:32:26 EFFECTS OF THAT TERROR ATTACK IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED
22:32:29 MacDILL'S SECURITY POSTURE.
22:32:32 NOW, WHAT MANY MAY NOT REMEMBER FROM THIS TRAGIC DAY IS THAT
22:32:34 THE GULF COAST WAS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF TRACKING A
22:32:36 POTENTIAL HURRICANE THAT WOULD BECOME TROPICAL STORM
22:32:38 GABRIELLE THAT STRUCK THE VENICE AREA A FEW DAYS LATER.
22:32:42 ON THE FOLLOWING DAYS OF THE ATTACK, WE ALL RETURNED TO WORK
22:32:46 TO DO OUR HURRICANE PREPARATIONS.
22:32:48 ALSO ON THAT DAY, MacDILL BEGAN ENFORCING 100% ID
22:32:52 CHECKS, WITH THE STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD NO LONGER BEING
22:32:55 SUFFICIENT TO GAIN BASE ACCESS.
22:32:57 DESPITE LIVING TWO MILES FROM THE MAIN GATE, I ROLLED OUT OF
22:33:00 MY APARTMENT COMPLEX THE NEXT MORNING INTO A SOLID BLOCKADE
22:33:04 OF TRAFFIC DUE TO THE SLOW PROCESS OF CHECKING ID.
22:33:07 THAT DAY IT TOOK ME NEARLY TWO HOURS TO GET TO WORK.
22:33:11 I LATER HEARD REPORTS OF TRAFFIC ON DALE MABRY STRETCHING
22:33:14 BACK TO THE LOWE'S STORE, NOT TO MENTION THE LOGJAM OF
22:33:17 VEHICLES ON THE CROSSTOWN AND EVERY OTHER ARTERY HEADING
22:33:19 SOUTH.
22:33:19 FOR THE WEEKS TO COME, AS THE BASE AND ALL PERSONNEL COMING
22:33:22 TO WORK ADJUSTED TO THIS NEW REALITY, THE STREETS CONTINUED
22:33:25 TO BE CLOGGED WITH TRAFFIC.
22:33:27 MANY BUSINESSES SUFFERED DUE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BEING UNABLE
22:33:30 TO READILY GET TO THEIR STORES.
22:33:31 I'M SHARING THIS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU TONIGHT TO SHOW YOU HOW
22:33:34 AN EVENT OR CRISIS THAT IS NOT EVEN DIRECTLY HAPPENING ON
22:33:36 MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE OR WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY CAN STILL
22:33:39 HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
22:33:43 SOUTH OF GANDY IS AT THE BOTTOM OF A FUNNEL.
22:33:45 AND AT THAT TIP IS MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE THAT HAS THE
22:33:48 EQUIVALENT OF A SMALL TOWN, ABOUT 22,000 PEOPLE FLOWING IN
22:33:51 AND OUT OF THE GATES EACH DAY.
22:33:53 THIS NOW BEING COUPLED WITH THE EXPLOSIVE POPULATION GROWTH
22:33:57 OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS OR SO IS A CONTINUAL TRAFFIC
22:34:01 NIGHTMARE FOR NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE HEADING TO AND FROM
22:34:04 MacDILL BUT ALSO FOR THE SOG RESIDENTS THAT ARE MERELY
22:34:07 TRYING TO DO THEIR DAILY ERRANDS.
22:34:09 BACK IN 2005, AS CITED IN AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN THE TAMPA
22:34:13 BAY TIMES, THEN MAYOR PAM IORIO REQUESTED A MORATORIUM ON
22:34:19 FURTHER DEVELOPING OF THE SOUTH OF GANDY AREA UNTIL ROAD AND
22:34:21 SCHOOL ISSUES COULD BE ADDRESSED, AS WELL AS FINDING A WAY
22:34:25 TO BRING IN MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
22:34:27 THOSE CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT ABOUT AS A MEANS OF BETTER
22:34:28 SUPPORTING THE MacDILL POPULATION AT A TIME THAT BASE
22:34:30 CLOSURES WERE BEING CONSIDERED ACROSS THE NATION.
22:34:34 THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN 2008 HELPED STAVE OFF THIS
22:34:38 DEVELOPMENT FOR A TIME.
22:34:38 BUT ONCE THE DUST SETTLED AND ADMINISTRATIONS CHANGED,
22:34:41 NOBODY SEEMED TO REMEMBER THE NEED FOR BETTER ROADS AND
22:34:43 SCHOOLS OR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
22:34:46 ASSERTED ITS DOMINANCE.
22:34:49 I ASK YOU TO KEEP THIS HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE IN MIND EACH
22:34:52 AND EVERY TIME A DEVELOPER COMES BEFORE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL
22:34:54 FOR MORE APARTMENTS OR TOWNHOME COMPLEXES SOUTH OF GANDY OR
22:34:58 WHEN ROAD MEDIAN PROPOSALS ARE MADE THAT ONLY WASTE MONEY BY
22:35:01 GIVING THE ILLUSION LIKE SOMETHING IS BEING DONE INSTEAD OF
22:35:04 ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM.
22:35:06 UNTIL THE ROADS AND FLOW OF TRAFFIC ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKED AT
22:35:08 OR MORE EMPHASIS ON AFFORDABLE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING IS
22:35:12 MADE, THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF POPULATION IS UNSUSTAINABLE
22:35:14 AND WILL ONLY BE MORE DETRIMENTAL TO SOG, ESPECIALLY DURING
22:35:18 TIMES OF CRISIS NOT ONLY LOCALLY BUT NATIONWIDE AS WELL.
22:35:21 THANK YOU.
22:35:24 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:35:25 NEXT, PLEASE.
22:35:26
22:35:33 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MRS. BENNETT HAS SIX NAMES.

22:36:22 6 PLUS 3 IS --
22:36:30 >> MY NAME IS CAROL ANN BENNETT.
22:36:32 I LIVE IN VIRGINIA PARK.
22:36:34 I GREW UP SOUTH OF GANDY.
22:36:36 WHEN MY CHILDREN WERE YOUNG, I USED TO SAY, WHAT WOULD THE
22:36:40 HEADLINES SAY NOW THAT I AM PARENTING?
22:36:43 CAN I DASH OUT TO THE FARM STORES AT 9:00 AT NIGHT SINCE IT
22:36:49 WILL ONLY TAKE LIKE TEN MINUTES?
22:36:50 WHAT WILL THE HEADLINES SAY?
22:36:52 CHILD LEFT ALONE IN HOUSE.
22:36:53 DIES IN FIRE WHILE MOTHER IS RUNNING ERRANDS.
22:36:58 I GUESS THAT MILK WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
22:37:00 I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER SOME HEADLINES.
22:37:02 TAMPA CITY COUNCIL DENIES REZONING REQUEST, BASED ON EFFECT
22:37:05 OF EVACUATION TIME. .
22:37:07 TAMPA CITY COUNCIL STANDS UP TO DEVELOPERS, WILL NOT APPROVE
22:37:11 OUT OF CONTROL GROWTH THAT MAY JEOPARDIZE SAFETY.
22:37:15 BIG HEADLINES.
22:37:16 CITY OF TAMPA SUED BY DEVELOPERS.
22:37:20 CITY COUNCIL SAYS THEY WILL NOT INCREASE DENSITY UNLESS
22:37:23 ROADWAYS CAN EVACUATE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY BUT THERE ARE
22:37:27 FEW RESTRICTIONS ON DEVELOPMENTS THAT WILL INCREASE
22:37:31 POPULATIONS.
22:37:32 THEN THESE HEADLINES.
22:37:33 THOUSANDS OF TAMPA RESIDENTS RIDE OUT HURRICANES IN THEIR
22:37:37 CARS BECAUSE GROWTH OUTPACED INFRASTRUCTURE AND EVACUATION
22:37:39 WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
22:37:40 AND MY PERSONAL NIGHTMARE, THIS ACTUALLY WAS THE HEADLINE IN
22:37:44 HOUSTON AFTER HURRICANE HARVEY WHICH KILLED 88 TEXANS.
22:37:48 DEATH TOLL RISES AS FLOOD WATER RECEDES.
22:37:51 OVERBUILDING CITED AS THE CAUSE. THERE WERE PLENTY OF
22:37:54 HEADLINES ABOUT HOUSTON'S EFFORTS TO EVACUATE FOR HURRICANE
22:37:58 RITA AND HEADLINES WHEN THEY DID EVACUATE FOR HARVEY BECAUSE
22:38:02 THEY REALIZED THEY HAD BUILT A COASTAL CITY THAT COULD NOT
22:38:05 BE EVACUATED AND CONSEQUENTLY PEOPLE DROWNED IN THE FLOODS.
22:38:09 THIS IS SOME REPORTING AN HURRICANE RITA. THE EVACUATION
22:38:15 WAS A DISASTER IN ITSELF IN SEARING HEAT CARS CRACKED WITH
22:38:19 WINDOWS DOWN, AIR CONDITIONING OFF TO SAVE PRECIOUS
22:38:24 GASOLINE, THE TRAFFIC JAM STRETCHED FOR OVER 100 MILES AND
22:38:28 WENT FOR OVER A DAY AND A HALF.
22:38:29 GASOLINE WAS NOT TO BE FOUND ALONG THE INTERSTATE AND CARS
22:38:30 THAT RAN DRY MADE THE GRIDLOCK EVEN WORSE.
22:38:34 ABANDONED VEHICLES LITTERED THE SHOULDER LANES.
22:38:37 MORE THAN 100 EVACUEES DIED IN THE EXODUS.
22:38:41 THE DEATH TOLL FROM THE STORM ITSELF WAS A FRACTION OF THE
22:38:44 DEATH TOLL OF THE EVACUATION.
22:38:48 EXPLAINING HOUSTON'S DECISION NOT TO EVACUATE FOR HURRICANE
22:38:50 HARVEY. THIS IS REPORTING ABOUT HURRICANE HARVEY.
22:38:53 HOUSTON MAYOR SAID IF YOU THINK THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW IS
22:38:56 BAD, YOU GIVE AN ORDER TO EVACUATE, YOU ARE CREATING A
22:38:59 NIGHTMARE.
22:38:59 FOR THE CORE, EVACUATIONS CAN BE UNTENABLY EXPENSIVE.
22:39:04 FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, THEY CAN BE IMPOSSIBLE.
22:39:06 OFFICIALS MUST CONSIDER RESIDENTS OF NURSING HOMES AND
22:39:09 HOSPITALS WHO MIGHT BE PUT AT RISK IF MOVED.
22:39:12 AND THEN WHERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO STAY WHILE THEY ARE GONE?
22:39:15 THE HEAD OF FEMA DID NOT QUESTION THAT HOUSTON SHOULD NOT BE
22:39:18 EVACUATED.
22:39:18 I DON'T WANT PEOPLE DYING IN THEIR CARS.
22:39:21 HOUSTON'S UNBRIDLED GROWTH IS A PRIMARY FACTOR.
22:39:25 GROWTH ITSELF IS NOT A PROBLEM.
22:39:26 BUT IT CAN CREATE BENEFITS TO CITIES.
22:39:28 BUT POORLY PLANNED GROWTH CAN CREATE PROBLEMS AND EVEN LEAD
22:39:32 TO DISASTERS.
22:39:33 THE EXPANSION HAS LED TO SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL REWARDS FOR
22:39:36 DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS.
22:39:39 DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS HAVE NOT SHARED THE RISK PRESENTED
22:39:42 BY FLOODING.
22:39:43 THESE COSTS ARE MOSTLY PASSED ON TO RESIDENTS AND THE
22:39:45 NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
22:39:46 CRITICS SAY LOCAL LEADERS HAVE BEEN PRO DEVELOPER.
22:39:55 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVE OF POPULATION OF SOUTH
22:39:58 TAMPA WILL BE 78,000 IN 2040.
22:40:01 ON APRIL 1st, 2019, ALMOST A YEAR AGO, THE POPULATION
22:40:05 WAS 91,412.
22:40:07 THAT'S AN INCREASE OF 23,109 RESIDENTS IN JUST NINE YEARS.
22:40:13 THAT IS A 33.8% POPULATION EXPLOSION.
22:40:18 IN JUST NINE YEARS THE POPULATION IS TWO AND A HALF TIMES
22:40:21 GREATER THAN IT WAS PROJECTED TO BE IN 30 YEARS.
22:40:24 ON PAGES 3, 4 AND 14 OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT SAYS
22:40:28 PROVISION MAP INDICATES WHERE HIGHER DENSITY SHOULD OCCUR
22:40:32 AND WHERE NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED AND STABLE.
22:40:34 THERE ARE SIX LEVELS, SOUTH TAMPA IS ONE, NO SIGNIFICANT
22:40:39 CHANGE, SHOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED AND STABLE, LIMITED GROWTH.
22:40:44 IS 34% UNCHANGED OR STABLE OR INSIGNIFICANT OR LIMITED
22:40:48 GROWTH?
22:40:49 THIS PROJECT VIOLATES THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGES 3, 4 AND
22:40:53 14.
22:41:00 THIS IS THE OFFICIAL HURRICANE EVACUATION MAP.
22:41:02 ALL OF SOUTH TAMPA IS IN AN EVACUATION ZONE.
22:41:05 AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO WAYS OUT.
22:41:07 THIS WAY, RIGHT HERE, IS GOING TO BE A PARKING LOT FILLED
22:41:11 WITH ALL THE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET OUT OF PINELLAS COUNTY.
22:41:15 AND THIS IS DALE MABRY.
22:41:18 THINK OF THIS LITTLE PENINSULA AS A BOTTLE OF COKE AND THE
22:41:22 ONLY WAY OUT IS THE BOTTLENECK AT THE TOP.
22:41:27 THIS IS A SIGN ON DALE MABRY.
22:41:33 THIS IS ANOTHER SIGN ON DALE MABRY.
22:41:36 AS YOU CAN SEE, IT SAYS ROAD UNDERWATER.
22:41:38 THIS SIGN WAS THERE FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS, JUST A NORMAL PART
22:41:42 OF LIFE WHEN WE HAVE NORMAL RAINFALL.
22:41:47 PAGE 226 OF THE PLAN SAYS NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON EVACUATION
22:41:51 TIMES AND SHELTER DEMANDS.
22:41:54 PROPOSALS THAT WILL INCREASE EVACUATION TIMES SHALL MITIGATE
22:41:57 SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS, AGREEMENTS WITH HART TO
22:42:00 PROVIDE EVACUATION SERVICE, OR EMERGENCY VAN POOLS.
22:42:04 THIS PROJECT IS IN EVACUATION ZONE A.
22:42:07 YET I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROJECT FOR
22:42:11 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE SO EXCELLENT AS TO BE
22:42:15 IMPACT.
22:42:16 I DIDN'T HEAR AGREEMENTS WITH HART TO PROVIDE EVACUATION
22:42:19 SERVICE OR PAYMENTS FOR LEGISLATION VAN POOLS.
22:42:22 THIS POLICY VIOLATES 1.2 AND 1.25.
22:42:25 THIS PROJECT IS IN THE HIGHLY FRAGILE AND REGULATED COASTAL
22:42:29 HIGH HAZARD AREA.
22:42:30 ON PAGE 224 IT SAYS THEY ARE SEEING NO NET GAIN IN
22:42:34 POPULATION IN COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
22:42:37 I REPEAT, NO NET GAIN IN POPULATION.
22:42:39 THE PLAN REITERATES THIS ON PAGE 225.
22:42:42 A NO NEGATIVE INCREASE OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DENSITY WITHIN
22:42:46 THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
22:42:48 ON PAGE 223 IT SAYS PROVIDE SAFE EVACUATION AND SURE A
22:42:53 PRIORITY IS PLACED ON EVACUATION ROUTES.
22:42:55 34% MORE PEOPLE MEANS MORE MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT ON
22:42:59 INFRASTRUCTURE.
22:42:59 WHO IS PAYING FOR THAT?
22:43:01 ARE THEY PAYING THE FULL TAB FOR THE IMPACT ON OUR
22:43:04 INFRASTRUCTURE OR AM I PAYING FOR THAT?
22:43:07 BECAUSE IF I AM, THAT AMOUNT IS A SUBSIDY TO THE PEOPLE WHO
22:43:13 ARE MUCH WEALTHIER THAN I AM CAN BECOME EVEN MORE WEALTHIER
22:43:18 THAN I AM.
22:43:18 THIS VIOLATES 1.7.1 AND 1.7.2.
22:43:23 AGAIN ON PAGE 223 THE CITY'S COASTAL PLANNING AREA IS NEARLY
22:43:27 BUILT OUT.
22:43:27 96% DEVELOPED.
22:43:29 THIS WAS WRITTEN YEARS AGO.
22:43:31 WHERE DO WE STAND NOW?
22:43:36 PROJECTED AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF GROWTH FROM 2007 TO 2040 IS
22:43:43 .47%, THAT'S LESS THAN HALF A PERCENT.
22:43:47 THE ACTUAL ANNUAL GROWTH RATE HAS BEEN 3.76%.
22:43:52 THE AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH RATE IS 18 TIMES HIGHER THAN WHAT
22:43:55 WAS PROJECTED.
22:43:56 DID ANYONE COME TO YOU AND SAY, WHOA, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
22:44:00 DID NOT ANTICIPATE THIS EXPLOSION.
22:44:02 WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS.
22:44:03 NOW IS THE TIME TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
22:44:06 AS A RESULT OF THE '04 AND '05 HURRICANE SEASON THE FLORIDA
22:44:10 LEGISLATURE THROUGH HOUSE BILL 7121 REQUIRED THE PROVISION
22:44:15 OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TO UPDATE ALL REGIONAL EVACUATION
22:44:17 STUDIES IN THE STATE AND TIE INTO THE STUDIES OF GROWTH
22:44:20 MANAGEMENT.
22:44:23 THE INTENT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR.
22:44:24 THE FLORIDA LAW LEGALLY REQUIRES YOU TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT
22:44:27 OF GROWTH ON EVACUATION.
22:44:30 IT LEGALLY REQUIRES YOU TO DEVELOP RESPONSIBLY.
22:44:33 HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY DO THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE NECESSARY
22:44:36 INFORMATION?
22:44:36 HAS ANYONE UNPACKED THESE EVACUATION STUDIES AND TOLD YOU
22:44:39 WHAT THE DATA SHOWS FOR OUR FLOOD PRONE PENINSULA?
22:44:44 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REQUIRES AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF NEW
22:44:47 DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EVACUATION TIMES.
22:44:50 HAS ANYONE PRESENTED YOU WITH THAT REVIEW AND USED IT TO
22:44:55 PROVE THAT THE STATE INCREASED THE DENSITY ON THIS LITTLE
22:44:57 PENINSULA?
22:44:58 I KNOW THEY HAVEN'T BECAUSE THAT REVIEW HAS NOT BEEN DONE.
22:45:02 YET THEY TELL YOU IT'S SAFE.
22:45:03 [BELL SOUNDS]
22:45:04 BASED ON -- NO ONE HERE CAN ANSWER THE MOST OBVIOUS AND
22:45:09 BASIC QUESTION, HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE SAFELY EVACUATED OFF
22:45:14 OF THE SMALL FLOOD PRONE SOUTH TAMPA PENINSULA?
22:45:17 HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DECISION TO SANCTION MORE GROWTH WITHOUT
22:45:20 THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION?
22:45:23 HEADLINES ARE COMING.
22:45:24 HOW CAN YOU RESPOND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE DATA YOU NEED?
22:45:27 THANK YOU.
22:45:30 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MA'AM.
22:45:30 NEXT, PLEASE.
22:45:31 >> MY NAME IS JEAN STROMYER. I LIVED SOUTH OF INTERBAY FOR
22:45:56 29 YEARS.
22:45:56 I ASK CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THE APPLICATION TO REZONE AS
22:45:58 REQUESTED BECAUSE IT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
22:46:00 PLAN.
22:46:04 WE HAVE A VERY UNIQUE SITUATION THAT NONE OF TAMPA HAVE.
22:46:09 SOME OF YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF TAMPA AND MacDILL AIR
22:46:12 FORCE BASE DID A JOINT LAND USE STUDY.
22:46:16 THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO FOSTER COOPERATIVE
22:46:19 LAND USE PLANNING AND TO PROVIDE A POLICY FRAMEWORK
22:46:22 COMPATIBLE WITH DEVELOPMENT MEASURES DESIGNED TO PREVENT
22:46:26 URBAN ENCROACHMENT, SAFEGUARD THE MILITARY MISSION AND
22:46:29 PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
22:46:33 THE JLUS STUDY PROCESS ENCOURAGED A COOPERATIVE SPIRIT
22:46:38 BETWEEN THE CITY OF TAMPA AND MacDILL AND TOTALS USED TO
22:46:40 REPRESENT A GUIDE FOR THE PUBLIC, NOT DEVELOPERS, TO DO LAND
22:46:44 USE IN THE STUDY AREA.
22:46:46 THE COMMUNITY GOALS WERE TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
22:46:49 THE RESIDENTS LIVING OR WORKING NEAR MacDILL AIR FORCE
22:46:51 BASE.
22:46:52 I DO BOTH.
22:46:53 PROMOTE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING FOR LONG-TERM LAND USE
22:46:56 COMPATIBILITY SURROUNDING MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE AND THE
22:46:59 COMMUNITIES AND TO MAINTAIN THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE
22:47:03 CITY OF TAMPA.
22:47:06 THE MILITARY GOALS WERE TO SAFEGUARD THE MILITARY MISSION
22:47:07 AND PROTECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC TO
22:47:11 MINIMIZE THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY BASE OPERATIONS AND TO
22:47:14 RESTRICT LAND USES THAT ARE DEEMED TO BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR
22:47:18 MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE OPERATIONS.
22:47:20 THE LAND ADJACENT TO MacDILL HAS 6700 INDIVIDUAL PARCELS
22:47:24 THAT WERE INITIALLY DEVELOPED IN THE '40s AND '50s, THEN
22:47:28 IN THE '90s, AND OF COURSE NOW.
22:47:31 THE STUDIES STATE BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1990 AND 2000 TAMPA
22:47:36 EXPERIENCED AN 8.4% POPULATION GROWTH AND HAS CONTINUALLY
22:47:42 GROWN SINCE.
22:47:43 THE JLUS STUDY SAYS THAT OPERATION OR ABILITY AND ACTIVITY
22:47:47 OF A MILITARY INSTALLATION IS PARAMOUNT TO BOTH LOCAL AND
22:47:51 NATIONAL SECURITY.
22:47:52 WE HAVE -- IT'S THE SOCOM CENTCOM HERE.
22:48:02 A MAJOR CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING AN INSTALLATION'S
22:48:02 FUTURE VIABILITY IS THE EXTENT TO WHICH URBAN ENCROACHMENT
22:48:05 HAS OCCURRED.
22:48:07 MOREOVER, MISSION CONSTRAINTS CAUSED BY DEVELOPMENT
22:48:08 ENCROACHMENT ADVERSELY AFFECTS THE MILITARY VALUE OF AN
22:48:11 INSTALLATION.
22:48:12 MacDILL HAS COEXISTED FOR 79 YEARS SINCE ITS
22:48:16 ESTABLISHMENT.
22:48:16 IT HAS PERSISTENTLY MAINTAINED THAT THE NEED TO MANAGE
22:48:20 ENCROACHMENT IS CRITICAL TO THE VIABILITY OF BASE OPERATIONS
22:48:23 AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE LOCAL RESIDENTS.
22:48:25 URBAN DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE PERIMETER OF MacDILL IMPACTS
22:48:29 OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, TRAINING AND READINESS MISSIONS
22:48:32 AND COULD THREATEN ITS FUTURE VIABILITY.
22:48:34 WE UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE TO REDEVELOP DOWN THERE BECAUSE
22:48:36 IT'S GREAT.
22:48:37 BUT DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED AND COMPATIBLE WITH
22:48:40 THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND YOU, SIRS, ARE THE
22:48:45 GATEKEEPERS.
22:48:45 THANK YOU.
22:48:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
22:48:47 NEXT SPEAKER.
22:48:47 >> GOOD EVENING.
22:48:51 MY NAME IS GYWANA LEONARD. I RESIDE AT 4902 WEST INGRAM
22:48:58 STREET.
22:48:58 I'M COMING AS A CONSTITUENT BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE SOUTH OF
22:49:01 GANDY, AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS FLOODING.
22:49:05 OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS THAT I HAVE LIVED IN THE HOME, WE
22:49:08 HAVE EXPERIENCED FLOODING ON WESTSHORE, ON DALE MABRY, AND
22:49:12 ON BAYSHORE, AND TRYING TO EVACUATE OR EITHER JUST LEAVE ON
22:49:19 THOSE STREETS IS VERY DIFFICULT.
22:49:23 I'M ALL ABOUT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, BUT I DO FEEL THAT
22:49:25 THIS SHOULD BE A BALANCE WITH THE ROAD STRUCTURES WHERE
22:49:30 THERE'S A BALANCE WHERE YOU ARE REPAIRING THE ROADS AND
22:49:33 MAKING THE ROADS MORE EFFICIENT AND SAFE FOR THE VOLUME OF
22:49:38 PEOPLE THAT MOVING IN THOSE AREAS SOUTH OF GANDY.
22:49:41 SO I REALLY WOULD ASK THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
22:49:48 PLANNING AND DEVELOPING IN AREAS, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THE
22:49:53 STORMWATER ASSESSMENT TAX THAT WE ARE PAYING TO USE THAT TO
22:49:58 ACTUALLY DEVELOP THESE AREAS WHERE THE REZONING IS BEING
22:50:01 APPROVED.
22:50:01 AND I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
22:50:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
22:50:05 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
22:50:06 >> SHAWN BROWN.
22:50:25 I AM BORN AND RAISED HERE IN TAMPA PROUDLY, 32 YEARS, AND
22:50:35 GET PAID NOTHING TO SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT.
22:50:37 WHAT IS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION IS SIX LETTERS THAT HAVE
22:50:40 BEEN WRITTEN BY RESIDENTS WITHIN 250 FEET OF THIS
22:50:43 DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT, IN ADDITION TO
22:50:47 SOME TABLES AND FACTUAL STUDIES, EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE DONE
22:50:51 TO SUPPORT OUR ARGUMENTS.
22:50:53 I'M HERE ALONG WITH MANY CONCERNED CITIZENS TO DISCUSS THE
22:50:55 ONGOING ATTEMPTS TO OVERBUILD SOUTH OF GANDY AND THE
22:50:58 RAMIFICATIONS IT IS HAVING ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERY
22:51:00 PERSON.
22:51:01 FIRST AND FOREMOST THE MISSION OF THE GROUP IS FLOAT TO
22:51:03 CEASE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN SOUTH OF GANDY.
22:51:05 WE UNDERSTAND EACH PARCEL IS ALREADY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL
22:51:08 AND INDUSTRIAL USES.
22:51:09 THE ISSUE OUR GROUP HAS IS THE TYPE OF ZONING SOUGHT,
22:51:13 PARTICULARLY MULTIFAMILY WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS
22:51:15 OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS ADOPTED ON FEBRUARY 20,
22:51:18 2016.
22:51:19 IN THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TALKS ABOUT MAINTAINING
22:51:22 NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY INCLUDING SUSTAINABLE MIX THAT
22:51:25 PROVIDES GOODS AND SERVICES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF
22:51:27 RESIDENTS, ENHANCED NEIGHBORHOODS, LIVABILITY AND STABILITY.
22:51:31 IN ADDITION, IT TALKS ABOUT A CENTRAL PART OF ACHIEVING MORE
22:51:34 SUSTAINABLE LIVABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BE PROVIDING MORE
22:51:37 CONVENIENT ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES.
22:51:40 THESE CHARACTERISTICS SHOW THAT THERE WILL BE GROWTH
22:51:42 OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTH TAMPA WHICH IS STABILITY.
22:51:47 THE MARKET IN THIS AREA -- IN THE PAST FEW YEARS THE CITY
22:51:50 HAS ALLOWED 2,748 MULTIFAMILY FAMILY UNITS IN THIS AREA.
22:51:55 ACCORDING TO RESEARCH -- AS OF RIGHT NOW, SOME OF THESE
22:52:00 DEVELOPMENTS ARE STILL BEING CONSTRUCTED -- NONE OF THESE
22:52:04 UNITS MORE THAN THREE MILES APART FROM THE PROPOSED
22:52:06 DEVELOPMENT AT 6603 SOUTH TRASK.
22:52:10 I WILL PUT THIS CHART UP HERE TO SHOW TALKING ABOUT HERE.
22:52:14 FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS A FIVE STORY DEVELOPMENT CALLED THE
22:52:17 POINT OF WESTSHORE THAT IS CONSISTING OF 44 UNITS THAT IS
22:52:22 ONLY .8 MILES AWAY FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT.
22:52:24 THIS IS QUITE DISTURBING, ADDING THAT AMOUNT OF DENSITY IN
22:52:28 SUCH A SHORT AREA.
22:52:30 AS YOU WILL SEE, THERE ARE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN VERY
22:52:34 CLOSE PROXIMITY WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT.
22:52:40 [RUSTLING PAPERS]
22:52:42 LET'S SEE.
22:52:45 OF THE 270 MULTIFAMILY UNITS ADDED TO THIS AREA IN THE PAST
22:52:49 FEW YEARS NONE ARE CONSIDERABLE AFFORDABLE FOR LOWER INCOME
22:52:53 FAMILIES WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
22:52:57 ADDING ADDITIONAL UNITS WILL ONLY CAUSE GENTRIFICATION OF
22:53:00 OUR COMMUNITY.
22:53:01 MANY CITIZENS OF LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK WORKING
22:53:05 MULTIPLE JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
22:53:06 AS SHOWN IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ON FREE OR REDUCED
22:53:10 LUNCHES, WHICH YOU WILL SEE RIGHT HERE, TABLE C.
22:53:14 YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK.
22:53:17 MONROE MIDDLE SCHOOL, 81.2% OF THE STUDENTS ENROLLED ARE ON
22:53:21 FREE OR REDUCED LUNCHES.
22:53:23 WESTSHORE ELEMENTARY, 73.1%.
22:53:26 AND [BELL RINGS] 76.1.
22:53:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
22:53:34 >>LUIS VIERA: NEXT, PLEASE.
22:53:35 AND BEFORE MRS. POYNOR COMES UP, IS NONE ELSE SPEAKING HERE
22:53:38 THIS EVENING?
22:53:39 >>MARTIN SHELBY: TWO NAMES.
22:53:44 KEITH POYNOR AND STEVE MEADOWS.
22:53:49 THANK YOU SO MUCH.
22:53:53 GOOD EVENING.
22:53:59 STEPHANIE POYNOR.
22:54:01 I LIVE AT 7709 LANDCARE LANE IN SOUTH TAMPA.
22:54:05 I AM HERE TONIGHT CARRYING ON WHAT SEAN WAS DOING.
22:54:09 I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST OF ALL CHECK OUT THE DOCUMENT THAT I
22:54:12 HEAR FROM THIS NICE LADY WHO ACTUALLY LIVES WITHIN 250 FEET
22:54:15 OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT
22:54:20 ON NUMBER 2, I HIGHLIGHTED IT FOR YOU GENTLEMEN.
22:54:22 I AM A NATIONAL CONSULTANT WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM THAT
22:54:25 SPECIALIZES IN WORKING WITH BUILDERS THAT ARE MAPPED WITH
22:54:28 HIGH RISK FEMA FLOOD ZONES.
22:54:34 THIS MAKES FOR COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
22:54:36 SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TONIGHT BUT SHE KNEW WE WOULD NOT
22:54:39 BE DONE IN TIME.
22:54:40 THERE ARE ALSO SIX LETTERS FROM FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT
22:54:44 I PERSONALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR.
22:54:46 ALL OF THE HOUSES IN THAT 250-FOOT RANGE ARE ONE-STORY HOMES
22:54:52 EXCEPT TWO.
22:54:53 THERE ARE TWO MULTIFAMILY, TOWNHOUSES, THOSE ARE ALL SINGLE
22:54:58 FAMILY RANCH HOMES.
22:54:59 SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THREE STORY AND FOUR STORY AND SIX
22:55:03 STORY OR WHATEVER STRUCTURES OVER THERE.
22:55:06 AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.
22:55:07 OF THE THREE, THIS IS MY THIRD TIME UP HERE. THIS IS THE
22:55:11 LEAST OFFENSIVE TO ME, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD.
22:55:14 I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO BE CONFUSED.
22:55:19 AND WE ARE GOING TO COVER DENSITY.
22:55:23 WE ARE AT 52%.
22:55:25 I COULDN'T TELL TODAY WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE
22:55:26 COMPREHENSIVE FLORIDA.
22:55:28 I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THIS CHART THAT SEAN HAD UP HERE,
22:55:31 72%, 76, 73, 81%, THEY DON'T SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL POOR
22:55:38 AND COME HOME AND HAVE BIG PAYCHECKS TO PAY FOR THESE NICE
22:55:42 APARTMENTS.
22:55:43 THEY DON'T.
22:55:43 SO WE HAVE A STRONG NEED IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR AFFORDABLE
22:55:47 HOUSING.
22:55:49 I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WE LIVE IN -- OH, THERE.
22:55:58 NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOLS BECAUSE SCHOOLS AREN'T
22:56:01 SUPPOSED TO BE A CONSIDERATION.
22:56:02 BUT YET IT'S IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 341 TIMES.
22:56:06 SO WHILE THE SCHOOLS MIGHT NOT BE IMPORTANT AS A LEGAL
22:56:11 BASIS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT'S IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
22:56:13 PLAN 341 TIMES.
22:56:16 AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE TERM MIXED USE
22:56:19 IS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 114 TIMES.
22:56:22 THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT MULTIFAMILY UNITS.
22:56:25 THEY TALK ABOUT MIXED USE.
22:56:28 AND SO WE IN SOUTH TAMPA, WE DON'T HAVE GROCERY STORES.
22:56:31 WE DON'T HAVE GAS STATIONS.
22:56:34 WE DON'T HAVE DOCTORS' OFFICES.
22:56:35 AS A MATTER OF FACT, MY HUSBAND'S BARBER IS LOOKING FOR A
22:56:38 NEW PLACE TO LOCATE.
22:56:39 WE CANNOT FIND HER ANYTHING SOUTH OF GANDY.
22:56:42 NOTHING IS AVAILABLE.
22:56:43 I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HER -- [RUSTLING PAPERS] OKAY.
22:56:46 WE ALSO HAVE ON THE FLOOD ZONE, I HAVE THE FLOOD ZONE -- OR
22:56:50 I'M SORRY, WE PULLED OUR COASTAL HIGH HAZARD MAP AS WELL.
22:56:55 SINCE IT IS 52%, I REALLY COULDN'T TELL.
22:57:00 THIS NICE LADY OVER HERE TOLD US WHO IT WAS.
22:57:03 BUT IN THE CM POLICY 1.2.3, IT SAYS ANNUAL REVIEW AND
22:57:08 DEVELOPMENT.
22:57:09 I HADN'T SEEN THAT.
22:57:10 I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THINGS LIKE THAT.
22:57:13 I CAN'T FIND IT.
22:57:14 ACCORDING TO THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY EVACUATION MAP, THERE
22:57:17 ARE THREE SHELTERS THAT ARE DESIGNATED.
22:57:20 WE HAVE DESIGNATED BUS ROUTES, AND OF THOSE THREE SHELTERS,
22:57:26 ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, ONE OF THEM IS 19.8 MILES WHICH
22:57:32 CAN TAKE BETWEEN 45 AND 120 MINUTES IN 5 P.M. TRAFFIC.
22:57:37 AND MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL IS BETWEEN 32 AND 40 MINUTES AT
22:57:40 5 P.M. TRAFFIC.
22:57:41 AND THEN WE HAVE GOT SMITH MIDDLE SCHOOL WHICH IS 17.8
22:57:45 MILES.
22:57:46 AND IT'S A 30 MINUTE TO 100 AN HOUR 10 MINUTES AT 5:00
22:57:53 TRAFFIC.
22:57:54 IF WE HAD SOME OTHER KIND OF ISSUES, WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT
22:57:56 A LONGER WAIT TIME TO GET OUT FOR A HURRICANE.
22:57:59 SO THAT .8 IS NOT A WHOLE LOT.
22:58:03 I AM GOING TO GO BACK TO TRAFFIC.
22:58:04 I KNOW NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC.
22:58:06 BUT YET THE D.O.T., FLORIDA D.O.T. HAS DECIDED THAT WE HAVE
22:58:14 SO MUCH STINKING TRAFFIC DOWN HERE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO
22:58:17 RIP UP THE NEW MEDIAN THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA HELPED PAY FOR,
22:58:22 I THINK IT WAS $1.4 MILLION IN 2017.
22:58:25 THEY ARE GOING TO RIP UP THOSE MEDIANS WHICH ARE -- THEY
22:58:29 HAVE PLANTS IN THEM, AND THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IN SOME MORE
22:58:34 CEMENT, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TRAFFIC HEADING THROUGH
22:58:38 BECAUSE WE CANNOT GET UP ON MAIN ARTERIES THAT WE ARE HAVING
22:58:41 ACCIDENTS.
22:58:42 BUT THE FLORIDA D.O.T. DOESN'T MATTER.
22:58:44 THE TRAFFIC STUDIES, OH, I ALMOST FORGOT, THE TRAFFIC
22:58:48 STUDIES OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT WAS DONE IN DECEMBER OF
22:58:54 2017.
22:58:55 THAT'S MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO.
22:58:57 WHEN WE HAD --
22:58:58 >> I WILL GIVE YOU 15 SECOND TO FINISH UP.
22:59:00 >> WE HAD 2,000 LESS PEOPLE ACCORDING TO DATA WHICH WAS
22:59:04 TAKEN FROM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
22:59:05 SO HOW THAT TRAFFIC STUDY IS RELEVANT TODAY, I DON'T KNOW.
22:59:09 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM.
22:59:11 WE APPRECIATE IT.
22:59:13 ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 12 BEFORE REBUTTAL?
22:59:18 PETITIONER, REBUTTAL.
22:59:19 >> WELL, I'M SURE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING FROM
22:59:27 A FIRE HOSE JUST AS I HAVE WITH ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE
22:59:30 BEEN RAISED THIS EVENING.
22:59:31 FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU WHERE I LEFT OFF WHICH THIS
22:59:34 IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL PROCEEDING AND YOUR ROLE TONIGHT IS TO
22:59:38 JUDGE THIS APPLICATION ON ITS MERITS AND ITS CONSISTENCY
22:59:41 WITH YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND YOUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
22:59:44 I HEARD MANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED BY THE
22:59:47 CONSTITUENTS.
22:59:47 I HEARD THE TERM MORATORIUM.
22:59:49 I HEARD ELIMINATE CONCURRENCY EXCEPTION AREAS.
22:59:52 I HEARD STORMWATER TAXES. I HEARD CHANGE THE LAND USE
22:59:56 CATEGORY.
22:59:56 I HEARD THE MARKET IS FLOODED WITH APARTMENTS.
22:59:58 I HEARD AFFORDABILITY.
23:00:00 AND ALSO HEARD THAT THERE ARE OTHER DESIRED PIECES SUCH AS
23:00:03 COMMERCIAL USES.
23:00:04 NONE OF THOSE ARE PROPER BASIS FOR A DENIAL OF THIS SPECIFIC
23:00:08 REZONING APPLICATION.
23:00:09 THEY ARE ALL WELL WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY
23:00:12 TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE FUTURE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU
23:00:14 HAVE UNDERTAKEN MANY WORKSHOPS ALREADY AND HAVE SEVERAL
23:00:18 PLANS TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE ISSUES.
23:00:20 SO WE HAVE DEEP CONCERNS ABOUT THE DUE PROCESS RIGHTS OF
23:00:24 THIS APPLICANT WHO IS A PROPERTY OWNER PROCEEDING UNDER THE
23:00:27 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY WHICH PLANS 24 UNITS TO THE ACRE IN
23:00:36 MULTIFAMILY.
23:00:36 IN TERMS OF THE SCHOOL NOT BEING A BASIS FOR DENIAL, THAT'S
23:00:39 TRUE.
23:00:39 THAT'S A CONCURRENCY ISSUE.
23:00:41 BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE UPDATED SCHOOL COMMENTS THAT ARE
23:00:44 FILED IN ACCELA, THERE IS ACTUALLY CONCURRENCY AVAILABLE AT
23:00:48 THE HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ADJACENT ELEMENTARY
23:00:51 SCHOOLS.
23:00:51 SO EVEN AS WE STAND TODAY, THERE IS NOT A CONCURRENCY
23:00:55 CONCERN.
23:00:57 I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
23:01:00 POLICIES.
23:01:01 I HEARD THEM QUOTED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES THIS EVENING
23:01:03 EARLIER, I THINK FROM COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER GENERALLY, ABOUT
23:01:06 LIMITING INCREASING DENSITY IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD, AND
23:01:11 THIS FROM SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO SPOKE THIS EVENING.
23:01:13 PAGE 225, WHICH IS POLICY 1.1.6, IT SAYS LIMIT NEW
23:01:19 DEVELOPMENT IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA TO USES THAT ARE
23:01:22 VESTED OR SHOWN ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
23:01:26 AND SINCE WE HAVE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WHICH SHOWS 24
23:01:29 UNITS TO THE ACRE.
23:01:30 SO THERE IS NO PROHIBITION ON INCREASING DENSITY IN THE
23:01:34 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA UNDER THAT POLICY.
23:01:38 LIKEWISE, THE POLICY THAT WAS BEING READ FROM WHICH IS
23:01:43 POLICY 1.25 THAT REFERENCED HURRICANE EVACUATION MITIGATION
23:01:47 AND COORDINATION WITH HART, THAT IS POLICY 1.25 AND IT
23:01:52 SPECIFICALLY REFERENCES PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENTS.
23:01:55 AND PLAN AMENDMENT AS YOU ALL KNOW IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
23:01:58 AMENDMENT. THIS IS NOT A PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
23:02:00 AMENDMENT. THIS IS A REZONING.
23:02:02 AND IF YOU WANT TO THE LOOK FOR DIRECTION AS TO WHAT YOU DO
23:02:04 WITH RESPECT TO HURRICANE RELATED ISSUES IN A REZONING, YOU
23:02:08 NEED ONLY LOOK TO POLICY 1.2.2 WHICH TALKS ABOUT REZONING IN
23:02:13 THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA WHICH THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD IS
23:02:16 PART OF, THAT ALL OF THOSE REZONINGS MUST MITIGATE FOR
23:02:19 HURRICANE SHELTER SPACE.
23:02:21 THE SITE PLAN HAS A NOTATION ON IT THAT WE WILL MAKE RAM FOR
23:02:25 SHELTER SPACE.
23:02:26 WE SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD A HURRICANE EVACUATION PLAN TO
23:02:29 HELP MITIGATE HURRICANE EVACUATION TIME FOR THIS PARTICULAR
23:02:32 PROJECT.
23:02:33 SO WE HAVE ADDRESSED THOSE THINGS.
23:02:35 AND I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU THAT ALTHOUGH WE HEARD FROM PEOPLE
23:02:38 READING FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THIS EVENING, AND WHILE
23:02:41 THEY MAY BE WELL INTENDED, THEY ARE NOT TRAINED PLANNERS.
23:02:44 YOU DO HAVE YOUR CITY AND COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
23:02:47 WHO HAS TESTIFIED THAT THIS PROPOSED REZONING IS CONSISTENT
23:02:50 WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL AS THE APPLICANT'S
23:02:53 EXPERTS.
23:02:54 AND JUST TO CORRECT THE RECORD WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAFFIC
23:02:58 REPORT, OUR REPORT WAS SUBMITTED AS OF JULY 2019 CONSISTENT
23:03:03 WITH THIS APPLICATION SO I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE OLD DATA IS
23:03:07 COMING FROM.
23:03:08 I DIDN'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE LETTERS IN THE
23:03:10 RECORD THAT WERE SUBMITTED BY RESIDENTS SO I DON'T HAVE
23:03:13 REALLY THAT IN FRONT OF ME TO ADDRESS TO YOU.
23:03:15 I WILL SAY WE HAVE MET WITH THE COMMUNITY FIVE TIMES
23:03:19 INCLUDING SENDING SPECIFIC LETTERS TO PEOPLE WITHIN THAT 250
23:03:23 RADIUS, AND WE HAVE SPOKEN TO ANYONE WHO WOULD SPEAK TO US,
23:03:26 AND WE TRIED OUR BEST TO MODIFY OUR SITE PLAN TO ADDRESS
23:03:30 THOSE CONCERNS.
23:03:31 AND WE THINK WE HAVE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF DOING THAT AND
23:03:33 HAVE PROPOSED A PROJECT THAT IS COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT
23:03:35 WITH THIS AREA.
23:03:37 AND WITH THAT WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
23:03:41 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
23:03:41 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
23:03:46 >>Ed Ogiba: THANK YOU.
23:03:47 JUST ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE
23:03:59 THERE WAS SOME REFERENCE WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS ACTUALLY IN
23:04:01 THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD ZONE, HAS TO BE MORE THAN 50
23:04:06 PERCENT, THEN ANOTHER PROVISION THAT SAYS THAT ANY PORTION
23:04:08 IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AND THE ENTIRE PARCEL SHOULD BE
23:04:11 CONSIDERED THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD.
23:04:14 HAVE YOU ALL EVALUATED THAT, AND I THINK SOMEBODY ON STAFF
23:04:19 SAID THEY BELIEVE IT WAS COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
23:04:23 DO YOU ALL DIFFER FROM THAT?
23:04:25 >> WE AGREE THAT -- SORRY.
23:04:29 TO ME THAT'S A LEGAL QUESTION, BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
23:04:32 INTERPRETATION OF THE POLICIES.
23:04:33 WITH RESPECT TO WHAT THE CURRENT MODELS ARE WHICH IS ONE
23:04:37 DEFINITION OF THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD IN YOUR HIGH HAZARD
23:04:41 PLAN, WE BELIEVE THESE ARE ACCURATE.
23:04:45 WE DO SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THERE IS A COMPETING POLICY IN YOUR
23:04:48 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT SAYS THAT PROPERTIES THAT ARE MAPPED
23:04:53 ON THE ADOPTED MATS ARE THE PROPERTIES WITHIN THE COASTAL
23:04:56 HIGH HAZARD AREA.
23:04:58 ACCORDING TO THOSE, RATHER THAN GETTING INTO THAT NUANCE
23:05:01 WITH YOU THIS EVENING, WE JUST WENT ALONG WITH THE ANALYSIS
23:05:04 BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK IT'S RELEVANT.
23:05:05 WE STILL THINK WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE
23:05:07 PLAN.
23:05:09 WHETHER WE ARE 100%, 52% IN OR NOT IN AT ALL.
23:05:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU, MADAM ATTORNEY,
23:05:21 WANT TO BE TESTIFYING SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING YOUR
23:05:24 PLANNER.
23:05:25 >> OUR PLANNER PROBABLY SHOULDN'T TESTIFY TO THAT EITHER.
23:05:28 OUR CIVIL ENGINEER CAN TESTIFY TO THAT.
23:05:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND MY QUESTION IS PRETTY SIMPLE.
23:05:33 DO YOU AGREE THAT YOUR PROPERTY IS 52% WITHIN THE COASTAL
23:05:36 HIGH HAZARD AREA?
23:05:38 >> TRENT STEVENSON, CONSULTING, EAST JACKSON STREET.
23:05:44 YES, BASED ON THE CURRENT MODEL WE ARE 52%.
23:05:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, SIR.
23:05:50 AND I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOUR PLANNER, MR. CRESPO, IF
23:06:00 I COULD.
23:06:00 ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH OUR OBJECTIVE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
23:06:03 AREA, CM 1.1?
23:06:06 AND I WILL JUST READ IT VERBATIM.
23:06:08 I HAVE GOT A FEELING YOU HAVE LOOKED AT IT.
23:06:10 IT SAYS DIRECTED FUTURE POPULATION CONCENTRATIONS AWAY FROM
23:06:13 THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA SO AS TO ACHIEVE A NO NET
23:06:17 INCREASE IN AN OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DENSITY WITHIN THE
23:06:21 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
23:06:23 OKAY.
23:06:24 HOW MANY APARTMENTS ARE YOU OFFERING HERE WITH THIS PROJECT?
23:06:32 >> 240.
23:06:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO AT A MINIMUM, SO 240 ADDITIONAL
23:06:38 PEOPLE.
23:06:40 CORRECT?
23:06:41 >> THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ALLOWS 24 UNITS GREATER OR 252 ON
23:06:46 THIS PROPERTY, AND WE DO INTERPRET THIS TO APPLY TO THE
23:06:51 FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE 24 CATEGORY AND THE DENSITIES
23:06:57 ALLOCATED.
23:06:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU JUST GAVE ME A LEGAL ANALYSIS OF
23:07:05 YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THIS.
23:07:07 BECAUSE MY QUESTION IS QUITE SIMPLE.
23:07:09 ARE YOU ADDING ADDITIONAL PEOPLE TO THIS PROPERTY FOR
23:07:12 RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES?
23:07:16 >> THAT IS CORRECT.
23:07:17 BUT THAT IS NOT MY INTERPRETATION OF HOW THAT APPLIES.
23:07:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE DOING A LEGAL
23:07:22 INTERPRETATION OR EVEN A PROFESSIONAL INTERPRETATION IS
23:07:25 FINE, OKAY.
23:07:26 WE CAN DIFFER ALL DAY IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS OBJECTIVE MEANS.
23:07:32 I LOOK AT IT PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
23:07:34 IT SAYS NO NET INCREASE IN OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DENSITY.
23:07:37 OKAY.
23:07:39 YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY THAT HAD NO RESIDENTIAL
23:07:41 DENSITY.
23:07:43 AGREED?
23:07:45 INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY THAT WAS THERE HAD NO RESIDENTIAL
23:07:47 DENSITY.
23:07:48 AGREED?
23:07:48 >> I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT INTERPRETATION.
23:07:51 NOT TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE.
23:07:53 JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE TU-24 DOES HAVE --
23:07:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT.
23:07:58 I AM ASKING THE QUESTION.
23:08:00 THE EXISTING ZONING THAT YOU CITED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE
23:08:03 INDUSTRIAL ZONING HAD NO RESIDENTIAL DENSITY.
23:08:07 CORRECT?
23:08:08 >> THE ZONING DOES NOT, OBJECTIVE 1.1 DOES NOT RELATE TO
23:08:12 THEM.
23:08:13 IT RELATES TO THE FUTURE LAND USE.
23:08:15 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK AT THIS POINT -- YOU ARE NOT
23:08:20 ANSWERING MY QUESTION AND WE CAN PROBABLY GO ROUND AND
23:08:22 ROUND.
23:08:23 AND MY QUESTION IS QUITE SIMPLY, DOES THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING
23:08:27 HAVE A RESIDENTIAL DENSITY?
23:08:29 >> THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT DOES NOT, NO, SIR.
23:08:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
23:08:33 AND NOW WE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL HOW MANY UNITS?
23:08:37 >> WE ARE REQUESTING 240 UNITS.
23:08:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 240 UNITS.
23:08:41 A MINIMUM OF 240 PEOPLE ASSUMING EVERYBODY THERE IS SINGLE.
23:08:45 OKAY?
23:08:46 THAT IS AN INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DENSITY.
23:08:49 CORRECT?
23:08:52 >> THAT IS CHANGING FROM INDUSTRIAL TO A RESIDENTIAL ZONING
23:08:55 DISTRICT.
23:08:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE ASKING.
23:08:58 YOU ARE ASKING TO GO FROM INDUSTRIAL TO PD.
23:09:03 AND THAT PD INCLUDES 200 SOMETHING UNITS.
23:09:06 SO THAT'S AN INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DENSITY.
23:09:08 AND THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.
23:09:10 >> FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT, YES, SIR.
23:09:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY, THANK YOU.
23:09:15 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING FURTHER?
23:09:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
23:09:22 I DON'T KNOW WHO NEEDS TO ANSWER THIS.
23:09:24 I'LL LET THE ATTORNEY DECIDE WHO SHOULD ANSWER THIS.
23:09:30 I THINK MR. HENRY SPOKE TO A DOLLAR AMOUNT, OR HE DIDN'T
23:09:34 SPEAK TO A DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT HE SPOKE TO MONEYS THAT WILL BE
23:09:39 CONTRIBUTED TO EASE THE TRANSPORTATION.
23:09:42 HAS THAT NUMBER BEEN CALCULATED OR SHOULD I ASK OUR STAFF?
23:09:46 >> IN OUR REPORT IT'S $16,000.
23:09:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 16,000?
23:09:55 AND THAT'S FOR --
23:09:57 >> THAT IS PER YOUR PROCEDURES MANUAL ON HOW THEY CALCULATE
23:10:01 THAT.
23:10:02 THAT IS THE MITIGATION FEE BASED ON PROCEDURES OUTLINED.
23:10:07 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THAT COMES OUT TO I THINK LESS
23:10:09 THAN --
23:10:10 >> THAT IS OVER AND ABOVE THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES
23:10:16 THAT WOULD BE PAID FOR THE PROJECT.
23:10:17 I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
23:10:19 BUT THAT IS IN ADDITION.
23:10:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO THAT'S LESS THAN $500 PER UNIT?
23:10:32 APPROXIMATELY.
23:10:33 IT SOUND LIKE ABOUT $500 PER UNIT.
23:10:36 OKAY.
23:10:37 AND THE LAST ONE, AND AGAIN, ATTORNEY, YOU CAN DECIDE WHO
23:10:42 YOU WANT TO ANSWER THIS.
23:10:43 WHAT SPECIFIC MITIGATION -- WELL, I MAKE A REFERENCE TO
23:10:49 1.2.2 AND YOU MADE REFERENCE TO IT AS WELL, I BELIEVE.
23:10:53 1.2.2 SAYS THE DEVELOPER IN A REZONING -- AND I AGREE WITH
23:11:00 YOU, THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE, AND I AM NOT GOING TO CITE ANY
23:11:04 COMP PLAN PROVISIONS, I MEAN IN TERMS OF PLAN AMENDMENT, WE
23:11:07 ARE NOT HERE FOR PLAN AMENDMENT, WE ARE HERE FOR REZONING.
23:11:10 IT SAYS REZONINGS IN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA THAT INCREASE
23:11:13 THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE THE IMPACT ON
23:11:16 SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS BASED UPON -- BASED ON THE SHELTER
23:11:20 SPACE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
23:11:22 WHAT SPECIFICALLY HAVE YOU GUYS DONE TO MITIGATE THAT
23:11:28 IMPACT?
23:11:29 >> THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ACTUALLY HAS A PROVISION THAT
23:11:33 REQUIRES US TO PUT IN THE SITE PLAN THAT FOLLOWS A SITE PLAN
23:11:38 IN THE ZONING CODE AND WE MADE THAT NOTATION ON THE SITE
23:11:41 PLAN.
23:11:45 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: TELL ME MORE.
23:11:47 I COULD DIG IT UP.
23:11:48 >> NO, WE'LL PULL IT UP FOR YOU.
23:12:05 SORRY.
23:12:16 WE'LL GET THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR YOU.
23:12:18 IT'S ALSO ON THE SITE PLAN.
23:12:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHILE YOU ARE LOOKING, LET ME ASK A
23:12:33 RELATED QUESTION.
23:12:35 YOU WERE -- YOUR HANDOUT THAT YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE
23:12:38 TO EACH OF YOUR RESIDENTS TITLED PUBLIC INFORMATION FOR RISK
23:12:45 STATEMENT, AND IT SAYS EACH WILL CONTAIN A DISCLAIMER THAT
23:12:49 THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN HURRICANE EVACUATION ZONE A,
23:12:54 AND THEN IT GOES DOWN A LITTLE BIT BELOW, AND IT SAYS DUE TO
23:12:57 THE POTENTIAL STORM SURGE, IF THE ZONE IS ORDERED TO BE
23:13:02 EVACUATED, ALL RESIDENTS MUST EVACUATE AT THE TIME THAT AN
23:13:05 EVACUATION ORDER IS ISSUED.
23:13:09 AND YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING THAT IN THERE AS A RISK STATEMENT
23:13:12 BASICALLY TO PUT EVERYBODY ON NOTICE THAT THIS IS AN
23:13:15 EVACUATION A ZONE AND THEY HAVE TO GET OUT.
23:13:18 THEY HAVE TO HIT THE ROADS AND GET OUT.
23:13:20 THOSE 323 VEHICLES THAT MR. HENRY ESTIMATED.
23:13:25 >> THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HIT THE ROAD THEMSELVES.
23:13:28 AS YOU SEE LATER ON IN THAT EVACUATION PLAN, PART OF THE
23:13:30 PLAN IS WITHIN FOUR HOURS OF THE EVACUATION NOTICE THAT THE
23:13:33 PROPERTY OWNER WILL BE PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION TO PEOPLE TO
23:13:37 HELP EVACUATE.
23:13:39 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND HAVE YOU PROVIDED ANY EVIDENCE OF
23:13:42 NEGOTIATION WAS HART OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
23:13:44 COMPANY?
23:13:47 >> WE WOULD NOT -- I'M SORRY.
23:13:50 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: TO EFFECTUATE THAT EVACUATION?
23:13:53 >> WHAT WE ARE PROMISING AND WHAT WE ARE COMMITTING TO IS
23:13:54 NOT RELYING ON HART FOR THAT. WE HAVE ACTUALLY
23:13:58 INDEPENDENTLY CONTACTED HART. HART IS NOT EQUIPPED TO
23:14:02 PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.
23:14:03 MOST OF THEIR EVACUATION VANS ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR SPECIAL
23:14:07 NEEDS SHELTER SO WE WOULD NOT BE RELYING ON THE PUBLIC
23:14:10 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM TO PROVIDE THAT EVACUATION PLAN.
23:14:12 THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DEVELOPER IS
23:14:14 WHAT IS PROPOSED.
23:14:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THE PROVISION.
23:14:17 >> IT IS LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 27-282.19.
23:14:25 >> WHAT DOES IT SAY?
23:14:26 >> IT BASICALLY IS A FORMULA IF YOU REFER TO POLICY 1.21
23:14:31 WHICH HAS A LEVEL OF SERVICE SHELTER SPACE AT 20 SQUARE FEET
23:14:34 PER PERSON, SO IT'S A MULTIPLIER BY THE NUMBER OF UNITS
23:14:38 BASED ON NUMBER OF PEOPLE BASED ON 20 SQUARE FEET OF SHELTER
23:14:41 SPACE, BASED ON A FACTOR OF HOW MUCH IT COST TO BUILD THE
23:14:45 SHELTER SPACE, AND THAT'S DETERMINED BY THE HILLSBOROUGH
23:14:47 COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE.
23:14:50 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO AGAIN, HELP ME OUT.
23:14:53 I AM NEW AT THIS TOO.
23:14:54 IT SAYS THAT IN DOING THE REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE
23:15:00 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, WHICH YOU ADMIT THEY DO, SHALL MITIGATE
23:15:02 THE IMPACT ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS BASED ON THE SHELTER
23:15:06 SPACE LEVEL OF SERVICE.
23:15:08 WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING TO MITIGATE THAT OTHER THAN
23:15:11 CITING TO A POLICY?
23:15:13 >> MAKING A MONETARY CONTRIBUTION.
23:15:16 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MAKING A MONETARY --
23:15:17 >> THAT IS WHAT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CALLS FOR.
23:15:21 THE FORMULA FOR ESTABLISHING IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
23:15:23 THERE IS A FACTOR THAT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED BY -- YET TO
23:15:28 BE UPDATED BY THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR
23:15:30 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, BUT WHATEVER THAT IS, WHATEVER THAT
23:15:32 NUMBER IS, PLUGGED INTO THAT FORMULA WHICH IS WHAT THIS
23:15:38 DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY AND IT IS ON THE SITE PLAN
23:15:40 THAT IS A REQUIREMENT.
23:15:42 >> WHO DO YOU CONTRIBUTE THAT TO?
23:15:44 >> THE SCHOOL BOARD, ACTUALLY.
23:15:46 THAT'S WHAT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CALLS FOR.
23:15:49 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
23:15:51 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYONE ELSE?
23:15:53 OKAY.
23:15:54 NO FURTHER COMMENTS BY COUNCIL?
23:15:57 MR. SHELBY OR MRS. WELLS, ANYTHING TO SAY BEFORE WE CLOSE?
23:16:01 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE THE PETITIONER'S
23:16:03 ATTORNEY HAVE THE LAST WORD TO THESE QUESTIONS, IF THERE'S
23:16:05 ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO ADD BEFORE THE HEARING IS CLOSED,
23:16:07 IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED.
23:16:10 >> AGAIN, I THINK I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT I MADE A
23:16:17 POINT EARLIER CLARIFYING WHICH COASTAL HIGH HAZARD, WHICH
23:16:21 HURRICANE SHELTER AND EVACUATION POLICIES WE THINK APPLY.
23:16:24 WE HAVE ALSO GONE OVER AND ABOVE THAT PROVIDING THIS
23:16:26 ADDITIONAL MITIGATION.
23:16:29 AND AGAIN TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS DOCUMENTATION AND
23:16:31 EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED INTO THE RECORD THAT WE
23:16:33 HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW, IF THAT'S GOING TO BE
23:16:36 A BASIS FOR COUNCIL'S DECISION THIS EVENING, WE WOULD LIKE
23:16:39 THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THAT.
23:16:40 >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU.
23:16:45 ANYTHING FURTHER?
23:16:46 MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE?
23:16:48 WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN CITRO. SECONDED BY
23:16:51 COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
23:16:53 ALL IN FAVOR?
23:16:53 ANY OPPOSED?
23:16:54 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
23:16:55 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST
23:17:03 READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE
23:17:05 GENERAL VICINITY OF 6603 SOUTH TRASK STREET IN THE CITY OF
23:17:10 TAMPA, FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1
23:17:12 FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION IG INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO
23:17:15 PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, PROVIDING
23:17:17 AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
23:17:20 THE PETITIONER HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE NO WAIVERS,
23:17:26 COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, AND I SEE THAT REALLY
23:17:30 EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE IN ORDER.
23:17:33 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
23:17:34 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
23:17:35 >> I'M WAITING FOR A SECOND IS ALL.
23:17:46 >>LUIS VIERA: NO SECOND?
23:17:47 OKAY.
23:17:48 THE MOTION DIES.
23:17:50 WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL?
23:17:58 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
23:17:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
23:18:03 I AM GOING TO MOVE TO DENY REZONING 19-94 DUE TO THE FAILURE
23:18:09 OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE
23:18:13 COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS
23:18:15 CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH
23:18:17 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CITY CODE AND SPECIFICALLY I
23:18:22 BELIEVE THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED TO MEET ITS BURDEN TO SHOW
23:18:25 THAT THE CHANGE FROM INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PD FOR
23:18:29 MULTIFAMILY IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPREHENSIVE
23:18:31 PLAN POLICIES, IN REGARD TO POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES.
23:18:38 AND IN REGARD TO THE OBJECTIVE I MENTIONED A MINUTE AGO,
23:18:43 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, CM OBJECTIVE 1.1, AND I WANT TO
23:18:51 STRESS THIS FOR A SECOND, THAT THE OBJECTIVES COME FIRST.
23:18:56 IF YOU DON'T MEET THE OBJECTIVES, WE CAN GO DOWN AND THAT'S
23:18:59 WHAT THE PETITIONER IS TRYING TO DO IS GO DOWN AND PICK AND
23:19:03 CHOOSE WHAT POLICIES UNDER THE OBJECTIVE THEY WANT TO MEET.
23:19:06 BUT IF YOU DON'T MEET THE OBJECTIVES, TO ME YOU ARE OUT OF
23:19:10 THE BALLGAME.
23:19:11 SPECIFICALLY CM OBJECTIVE 1.1 BY SAYS DIRECT FUTURE
23:19:15 POPULATION CONCENTRATIONS AWAY FROM THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD
23:19:19 AREA. CHHA. SO AS TO ACHIEVE A NO NET INCREASE IN OVERALL
23:19:25 RESIDENTIAL DENSITY WITHIN THE CHHA.
23:19:30 THESE PETITIONERS OWN EXPERT ULTIMATELY TESTIFIED THAT THIS
23:19:34 IS AN INCREASE OF AT LEAST SEVERAL HUNDRED SOULS IN THAT
23:19:40 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA.
23:19:42 THEY ALSO ADMITTED THAT THEY ARE WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH
23:19:45 HAZARD AREA BECAUSE THE PROJECT HAS AT LEAST 52% OF THE
23:19:50 PROPERTY WITHIN THE CHHA.
23:19:53 AND THEREFORE WITH THE NET INCREASE IN RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
23:19:56 WITHIN THAT, THEY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT AND DO NOT MEET
23:20:00 OBJECTIVE 1.1.
23:20:02 FURTHERMORE, 1.2.2, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE
23:20:10 ADEQUATELY MITIGATED THE IMPACT ON SHELTER SPACE, COASTAL --
23:20:20 LET'S SEE, THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF
23:20:24 SHOWING THAT THE CHANGE FROM INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO PD
23:20:27 COMPLIES WITH SECTIONS 27-136 (5 AND 6) OF THE CITY CODE AND
23:20:34 SETS FORTH THE INTENT OF THE DISTRICT INCLUDES REQUIREMENT
23:20:37 OF THE REZONING, MAXIMIZING PRESERVATION OF NATURAL
23:20:41 RESOURCES AND ENCOURAGES APPROPRIATE WITH THE EXISTING
23:20:45 GEOGRAPHY AND SPECIFICALLY ON MAJOR 4 OF THE STAFF REPORT
23:20:47 OUR NATURAL RESOURCES FOLKS INCLUDED A CONCERN ABOUT
23:20:53 GRADING, G-R-A-D-I-N-G, GRADING REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF
23:20:58 FILL, SOIL, AT THIS SITE LOCATION.
23:21:01 THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN, DIDN'T
23:21:04 EVEN COME UP IN THEIR PRESENTATION.
23:21:12 IN REGARD TO CONSISTENCY AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY
23:21:16 COMPATIBILITY, THE EVENING STARTED OUT WITH THE PLANNING
23:21:20 COMMISSION STAFF, MELISSA TESTIFYING TO THE FACT THAT ON
23:21:29 THIS SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACK, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE
23:21:32 RAILROAD TRACK, THAT THIS ENTIRE PROPOSED PROJECT OF
23:21:35 MULTIFAMILY, THREE STORY AND FOUR STORY BUILDINGS WAS 100%
23:21:40 SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY AND POSSIBLY A FEW DUPLEXES,
23:21:46 ALTHOUGH SHE COULDN'T REALLY FIND ANY, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT
23:21:48 THE MAP, AND THE MAP CLEARLY SHOWS HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
23:21:52 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN THIS IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
23:21:56 THEREFORE, THE CONCLUSION, THE NATURAL CONCLUSION IS THIS
23:21:59 MULTIFAMILY PROJECT OF SEVERAL HUNDRED UNITS IS INCOMPATIBLE
23:22:07 WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
23:22:20 >>LUIS VIERA: ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
23:22:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONE OTHER.
23:22:25 >>LUIS VIERA: TAKE YOUR TIME.
23:22:38 >> I BELIEVE THAT'S IT.
23:22:40 I APPRECIATE THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THE PETITIONER'S COUNSEL
23:22:45 AND ALL HER EXPERTS.
23:22:47 I APPRECIATE THE TIME OF THE CITIZENS WHO CAME IN THIS
23:22:50 EVENING TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERN ABOUT EVACUATION.
23:22:57 SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE CITIZENS WHO HAVE THE MOST
23:22:59 EXPERIENCE, AND MAY NOT BE EXPERTS, BUT THEY HAVE THE MOST
23:23:02 EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE DAY-TO-DAY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS TESTIFIED
23:23:05 OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS OF
23:23:08 HURRICANE EVACUATION, AND SOME OF WHICH WERE BASED UPON
23:23:13 PRIOR EXPERIENCES AND PRIOR HURRICANES, OR AT LEAST CLOSE
23:23:16 CALLS.
23:23:17 AND THAT TESTIMONY HAS COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN MY
23:23:25 MIND AS WELL.
23:23:26 >>LUIS VIERA: WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
23:23:28 A SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
23:23:30 ALL IN FAVOR?
